Soon, Caelus used all the gathered Frost Cores. Now that they were fully healed, it was time to fight the boss.

Ding!

[You have consumed the Frost Cores.]

[Teleporting to Raid Boss Arena...]

Their vision blurred. The next moment, the swirling blizzard cleared, revealing a humongous Divine Frost Giant towering in front of them.

Ding!

[You have successfully entered a Raid.]

[Restriction: You cannot heal yourself in this arena.]

[Raid Boss: Divine Frost Giant]

[HP: 10,000/10,000]

[Combat Score: 15 (Silver I)]

[Here, you have the opportunity to obtain rare rewards.]

[The Core of the Divine Frost Giant will be awarded to the player ranked 1st on the Damage Dealt leaderboard.]

All around them, the battlefield was a chaotic mess. Isolde, Ryan, Theron, Cyrus, James, and the rest of the Royal Capital elites were already here.

And they were getting absolutely slaughtered.

"Hold the line!" Henrick, one of the Silver-ranked Regressors, roared.

He swung a massive battleaxe at the Divine Frost Giant’s thick legs. The blade bounced off the dense ice armor, barely leaving a scratch.

The Divine Frost Giant lazily took a single step forward.

BOOM!

A terrifying shockwave of pure frost swept across the stone floor. Cyrus and James collapsed to the ground like helpless animals, their bodies violently shivering as thick ice crawled up their legs.

"I will die at this rate!" James cursed, watching his HP plummet.

"Heal us! Someone heal us!" Theron screamed, dodging a massive fist that shattered the ground where he just stood.

The highest damage was being dealt entirely by the Regressors, but it was pathetic.

Ding!

[Damage Leaderboard:]

[1. Henrick: 545 DMG]

[2. Supin: 320 DMG]

[3. Isolde: 56 DMG]

"Everyone! If we let this continue, we will all just die from the Frostbite DoT!" Henrick shouted. Everyone’s health was flashing red. "We need to deal as much as damage as possible. When we use Elemental Reaction. It does a lot of damage to the Boss, far more than we normally can. But we need to get closer to it first!"

"To get the blessing of the God Ullr, we must go through this! We can only enter this place once!"

"Tsk!" Isolde clicked her tongue in frustration.

She unleashed a barrage of fire spells. As a royal, she naturally possessed a Mage talent. But the fireballs simply fizzled out and shattered against the giant’s passive freezing aura. She was severely injured, panting heavily, her previous arrogance completely shattered.

"Getting carried, huh?" Caelus sneered loudly, walking into the arena.

This was the same person who boasted about being superior to him. The one who called him a frog at the bottom of the well. Now, look at her.

Caelus stood completely unfazed amidst the raging rain of freezing frost.

IRIS!

His Anti-Magic barrier was fully activated. The glowing shield completely negated the deadly Frostbite debuff waves being unleashed by the raid boss.

"Sylvia, stay behind me," Caelus said.

His figure violently glitched as the golden-black Chaos Ring materialized behind him.

"I am going to end this in a few moves."

BWOMMMMMMMM!

The apocalyptic sound of a blaring trumpet rang out loudly across the battlefield.

"Player 555," Ryan gasped.

Everyone’s attention snapped toward him.

The following moment, his massive geometric wings burst from his back. He shot into the air, the wind splitting apart as he hovered directly above the towering giant. His Chaos Fractal Wings flapped with terrifying intensity.

He had 10 seconds, he needed to end this in 10 seconds.

Ding!

[Chaos Dragon Body Activated.]

[Stat Update:]

[HP: 470/470]

[CA: 450/450]

[Combat Score: 15.95 -> 25.95]

Chaos Axiom Energy poured out of his body like a tidal wave. He stretched his hand out toward the beast.

The Divine Frost Giant noticed the new threat. It roared, lunging several massive, spear-like icicles straight at him.

However, the instant the deadly ice touched Caelus’s barrier, it dispersed into harmless, shattered glass.

"Anti-Magic...?!" Isolde’s eyes widened in pure disbelief.

The next moment, the world flashed black and white. An apocalyptic power condensed in the palm of Caelus’s hand.

"Volcra. Jirasad," Caelus uttered.

He charged Volcra three times. He layered Jirasad over it eight times.

BOOM!

The following instant, colossal magical runes lit up across the entire arena. The combined Volcra detonated into a blinding mushroom cloud.

Ding!

[Elemental Reaction: Overload]

[Critical Hit!]

[-5,000 HP]

The sheer shockwave swept every single player off their feet, throwing them across the arena.

Amidst the blinding sweep of light and wind, Sylvia moved.

She stared daggers at the struggling Isolde.

PROJECTION FRAME!

Her figure broke down into fragmented shadows. She bypassed the blast radius entirely and arrived right next to Isolde.

Isolde, blinded by the frost storm and the mushroom cloud, could not see anything properly.

SQUELCH!

Sylvia stabbed her blade directly into Isolde’s neck without a single ounce of hesitation.

"No one can take Caelus away from me," Sylvia’s murderous voice cut through the howling wind as she twisted the blade. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Isolde’s horror-filled eyes bulged. They were the only things visible before her avatar shattered into light. She had shown murderous intent toward them earlier. Sylvia did not need to hesitate.

High up in the air, the smoke cleared. The Giant Boss was heavily mangled, but it was still not dead.

’If I use my sword skill infused with Jirasad and Refla, will it calculate the +10 damage multiplier of the seventh move?’ Caelus thought. He tested it immediately.

He gripped his Epic Frostbite Longsword. Several magic circles flared along the blade as black lightning and hollow fire crashed together.

Ding!

[Elemental Reaction Triggered: Overload]

His very sword had achieved the Overload elemental reaction.

At the exact same time, he flicked his wrist. Solitaire cards flew across the battlefield, glowing with stored skills.

HOLY DISINTEGRATION!

LIGHTNING SINGULARITY!

The stored skills erupted from the cards, pinning the giant down. Caelus dove from the sky.

MYRIAD MOVES OF THE HEAVENLY SWORD!

First move. Second move... Fifth, sixth, seventh!

He accelerated through the forms, reaching the devastating seventh move in an instant. The overloaded, flaming blade sliced through the Divine Frost Giant’s thick neck like a hot knife through butter.

THUD.

The massive head crashed to the floor.

Ding!

[The Raid Boss has been defeated.]

[The person who defeated the Raid Boss is: Player 555.]

[Player 555 dealt the most damage.]

Caelus retracted his wings as he descended. With one subtle use of Telekinesis, he landed gracefully on his feet. He walked calmly toward Sylvia, his longsword still gleaming with volatile elemental energy.

"Was that really just a buff? Is he really this powerful?" Ryan stuttered.

The Royals and the Regressors with them were stunned beyond words. They stared at Caelus in absolute terror. The sheer scale of his power was beyond their comprehension. They could not believe a single player could dish out that much raw damage.

They shuddered as Player 555 walked past them.

He had taken down a Raid Boss entirely on his own. This was the true power Player 555 possessed!

Ding!
