Chapter 218: Chapter 146: Lord of the Sixth Level Nest Cave 3

’Is it extremely fast flight?’

’Or Space Magic?’

’But aren’t long-distance Space Magic teleportation spells almost all lost to time?’

There are no long-range spatial teleports anymore, but there is the Tier Five Magic, Flash Technique, for extremely short distances.

It can probably flash you less than fifty meters.

And the Chanting time is very long.

’I wonder how far it can flash after being transcended, but it would definitely be useful with No Chanting.’

I’ve heard that this is the Magic that nearly all Level 5 Mages want to master with No Chanting.

’I’ll have to find a chance to ask Iz about it in detail.’

’Sigh, my Level is too low, but there’s so much I want to learn.’

’There are so many Forbidden Books to read, and I still have to study theories like Destiny Science, Chronology, and Future Studies.’

Even though my Spirituality is extremely high right now, these three major fields of study are like insurmountable mountains.

’Besides, my Profession isn’t something like a Divination Master.’

’It’s not like I can master the theories of these schools overnight.’

’Then there’s Combat Skills. After forming my own Extreme Intent, I’ll also have to create my own Combat Skill School.’

’And I have to think about a second Root Magic.’

’Sigh, I’ll just have to take it one step at a time.’

It wasn’t long before Iz brought Obades over. After understanding the situation, Obades patted his chest.

"On it."

Lu Cang nodded. "Then I’m counting on you, Brother Shi Tou."

To be honest, Lu Cang had been a little worried, but the moment Obades arrived, that sense of unease and apprehension vanished.

Everything felt solid and reassuring.

Iz spoke up. "It still has a Restriction set up outside."

"I’ll break its Restriction. You two go on ahead."

With that, he flickered again.

Iz brought Obades and Lu Cang down to the flat ground at the base of the mountain.

He casually waved his Magic Staff!

BOOM!

A shockwave erupted in mid-air!

And at almost the same instant, countless eyes made of souls appeared, completely surrounding Izparut from every angle.

"Oh!"

"What an interesting use of souls!"

BOOM—

With Iz at the center, a wave of sacred judgment spread out in all directions!

In a flash, it destroyed countless souls that were hurtling toward him!

"Obades! Just run straight ahead!"

"I won’t escort you any further!"

"Let me see just what kind of pleasure this thing can bring me!"

’No...’

’You could have at least dropped us off a little closer.’

’Why did you just start fighting on your own?’

’Iz, you know you’re acting just like one of those villains who gets himself killed by being overconfident, right?’

’The type who’d be fine if they just didn’t mess around.’

Lu Cang suddenly felt a pang of regret. ’If I’d known this would happen, I would have suggested leaving on my own. If they want to fight, let them fight.’

"Brother Shi Tou, it’s all up to you,"

Lu Cang said with a hint of resignation, riding on Obades’s back.

Obades, however, gave a thumbs-up with his large, stone-like finger.

"I’m here."

’Alright, I feel at ease with you here. I just hope you can withstand soul-level attacks.’

WHOOSH—

A sky full of souls descended upon Lu Cang!

After just a few steps forward, he found that the world before him had transformed into a sky filled with souls that swarmed like countless sperm.

It was a completely different world from a moment ago.

’It looks... kind of disgusting...’

Obades ran forward at a quick pace; his speed was actually not slow at all.

The sky full of souls dived toward them!

At the same time, Lu Cang could feel countless attacks made of condensed souls—Magic, Combat Skills—all coming to kill him!

Lu Cang focused his Perception on those souls.

Divine Level Information Tracing.

Lu Cang instantly obtained the past information from them.

These Soul Bodies had once been people, people killed by this Demon, people who had once lived in some region.

This "Ten Thousand True Souls" was not appearing for the first time.

It had descended in many places long ago, and many continents had been annihilated by its arrival.

It just hadn’t happened to descend on the Ruelun Continent.

’So continents really have been destroyed by the arrival of Demons...’

Lu Cang raised his hand.

SWISH!

All souls within a fifty-kilometer radius vanished in an instant.

BOOM—

From behind them came the aftershocks of Izparut’s battle.

He was fighting with great pleasure.

’It seems he’s found something that interests him again.’

With Lu Cang on his back, Obades steadily approached the creature’s main body. The closer they got, the fiercer the attacks became.

The soul attacks were manageable.

Lu Cang could absorb them directly, completely ignoring the attacks.

But for any attack that didn’t use souls as a medium, Lu Cang’s Magic and Combat Skills were almost completely useless for defense.

Tier Six Magic, Tier Six Combat Skills, Soul Techniques, the Demon’s instinctual attacks...

Every single one was immensely powerful.

BOOM! BOOM BOOM—

These attacks rained down, but they were all blocked by an invisible shell, no matter what.

No attack could penetrate it.

Lu Cang’s Final Sense never triggered; he didn’t foresee even a hint of crisis.

’It seems I laid out that path of death substitutes for nothing.’

’I placed a corpse at every interval so that even if I faced a life-threatening danger, I could die my way back to safety.’

’Like a domino rollercoaster, WHOOSH, and I’d substitute-die my way back along the path.’

kilometers.

kilometers.

kilometers.

kilometers!

The speed of a Level 6 Professional was indeed astonishing. Even for the cumbersome Obades, dashing several thousand kilometers was no problem at all.

As they neared this distance,

Lu Cang immediately swung his Magic Staff, raising it as if he were casting a fishing line!

A powerful suction force, channeled through Wind Magic, erupted!

Using Magic to activate the effect of his Talent!

Divine Level Soul Dominator!

Between heaven and earth, ten thousand souls began to boil! With a forceful tug, Lu Cang ripped the soul from the layered Skin and Bone Tower, as if reeling in a fish on a long line!

In the process,

the countless controlled souls between heaven and earth trembled violently and scattered!

From within the layers of the Skin and Bone Tower, endless cries of resentment and furious roars echoed out!

The soul of this Demon was truly and effortlessly ripped out by Lu Cang!

It shot out like a streak of Flying Light.

Even though it was filled with countless struggles, endless unwillingness, and incomprehensible fury, it was utterly powerless to resist this force in the slightest!

In the end, it could only land obediently in Lu Cang’s hand.

Completely and utterly under his control.

The moment he grasped it, the sky, once heavy and overcast, instantly cleared.

And the world, once wreathed in countless souls, suddenly became peaceful and serene.

Sensing this change,

his extremely high Spirituality also brought a realization...

’This Dungeon... has been ended.’

’No, not just this Dungeon... perhaps the consequences of killing this Demon are far greater than I imagined.’

"Can you talk?"

Lu Cang tried to speak to the soul, which appeared to be that of the Master of the Nest Cave.

However, he was met only with furious roars, not a single rational response.

’It seems intelligent Demons are extremely rare.’

’And based on my experience so far, a Demon’s intelligence isn’t necessarily related to its power.’

’What a pity...’

’In the end, I cleared the Dungeon. I was originally hoping to keep it around to farm it repeatedly.’

’Maybe it would have been better to just ignore its attempt to block me and leave?’

’But it’s hard to say. Even if I had left, I probably would’ve just spent my time researching this boss and looking for a strategy. I likely wouldn’t have Sacrificed any more souls until I was sure I could win.’

’Besides, if I were to continue the Sacrifices...’

’Where would I have ended up?’

’If this Demon was the Lord of the Sixth Level Nest Cave, is there a path beyond it?’

’Or is it that only under these circumstances could I directly enter a Seventh Level nest cave?’

’The previous Dungeons didn’t advance me to a higher tier after the Sacrifices. Was that just because the number of Sacrifices wasn’t high enough?’

Solving one question only gave rise to more.

Countless possibilities about his past actions began to form in his mind.

But in the end, he put all these thoughts aside.

He looked at the massive corpse before him. A corpse that had lost its soul was nothing more than an empty husk of flesh and skin.

It was a pure spoil of war, belonging to the victor.
