Everyone's Class: One Effort, 10,000x Bonus Reward!-Chapter 258: Aiden Explodes – Nellie’s Reflection

Chapter 258: Chapter 258: Aiden Explodes – Nellie’s Reflection

Boom!

The Blackfire Cloak behind Aiden began to ripple violently, even without a breeze.

[Third use of Defy Fate Sacrifice: You will exhaust all your mana, drop level by 20, and permanently lose 2,000 points in your four main stats. You gain the effect: Fate Defier.]

Streams of blue light (mana), golden light (level), and multi-colored light (stats) poured out of Aiden’s body and rushed into the altar.

Instantly, the black altar erupted with waves of blue and colorful light, shooting rapidly back into Aiden.

[Your health and mana restored to 100%. You now regenerate 10% health and 10% mana per second. Your four main stats temporarily increased by 8,000 points. Casting speed increased by 40%. Immune to pain. Duration: 15 minutes.]

Drop level by 20?

Aiden didn’t hesitate for a second. He immediately used his accumulated experience points to shoot his level back up to level 50.

"This time, Defy Fate Sacrifice boosted my casting speed by 40%!"

"As I thought, the more I use Defy Fate Sacrifice, the heavier the side effects become. But the reward? It becomes terrifyingly powerful!" Aiden’s eyes lit up with excitement.

With his casting speed now so fast, he was ready to cast spells instantly in the upcoming fight.

"What... what kind of skill is that?" Gaunt Demon Raphael’s eyes narrowed instantly, staring hard at Aiden.

He could clearly feel Aiden’s presence drop drastically, then suddenly explode into a terrifying, wild power.

He had never seen Aiden use this skill before in the battles they’d fought.

There was no doubt: Aiden had been holding back this entire time!

Subconsciously, Raphael turned to look at his companions nearby. The most obvious reaction came from Demon Draw. The cowardly guy had actually taken an instinctive step backward.

Meanwhile, Vine Demon Loros and Gnome Demon Beliar wore serious expressions, their earlier arrogance completely gone.

It was clear: Aiden’s power surge was no illusion!

But this wasn’t the end.

Aiden glanced at the newly acquired Legendary Rank Scorpion Belt and Scorpion Gloves. Without hesitation, he quickly swapped out the Spider Demon Venom Sac Gloves and the Demon Trial Belt he was wearing.

Sure, leaving the Demon Trial Belt behind meant he couldn’t complete the Demon Trial Set anymore, so he couldn’t summon a Demon. But in the current situation, even if he did summon one, it wouldn’t be very useful.

The Legendary Rank Scorpion Gloves and Scorpion Belt were far, far stronger!

[The Scorpion Gloves are a Legendary item dropped by the Scorpion-Tailed Demon upon its death, filled with lethal scorpion venom; when equipped, they provide an additional 30,000 HP, 3,000 Defense, and 2,000 Spirit, while also increasing Attack Speed by 30% during basic weapon attacks (at the cost of consuming significant Mana), and can be manually activated to trigger the "Scorpion Tail Infusion" for a power surge that grants 2,000 Strength, 20% increased Speed, and a 20% boost to both Physical and Magical Defense, while significantly accelerating Mana recovery whenever the wearer takes damage.

Additionally, you can spend a small amount of mana to fire a venomous spike from the Scorpion Gloves. If it hits an enemy, they will become poisoned. Their flesh near the wound begins to rot, losing 1.5% health and 2% physical defense every second for 30 seconds. You can fire up to 3 spikes. Every 3 hours, the gloves regenerate a new spike (this costs some mana).]

[Scorpion Belt: Legendary Rank. Dropped by a dead Scorpion-Tailed Demon. Can summon a giant scorpion tail that creates rifts in space. When worn: +50,000 Health, and a 10% boost to physical and magic defense. When attacked, you can consume a large amount of mana to summon the giant scorpion tail, stabbing it into the air around you to create a space rift. Stepping into this rift teleports you to a target location. The range and ability to pass through obstacles depend on your Spirit attribute.

Furthermore, if you choose to spend 20% of your health, the Scorpion Belt summons a special giant scorpion tail. This creates a powerful gravitational rift near a target. Anything caught in the rift is instantly pulled to your location.]

Once he put on these two powerful Legendary Rank items, Aiden’s presence suddenly exploded in power!

He now had several Legendary Rank items equipped. Plus, he had already upgraded the Divine Golden Sunflame to Mythic Rank earlier!

Even a Legendary Rank Divine Golden Sunflame was enough to burn a Scorpion-Tailed Demon to ash. So, after the upgrade, its power would be even deadlier!

Aiden’s eyes burned with excitement.

But he wasn’t done yet.

High-tier Damage Boosting Potion—Use it!

Aiden didn’t hesitate for a second. He used every single item that boosted combat power, moving at top speed.

Gaunt Demon Raphael could no longer stay calm. Facing Aiden, he felt an overwhelming sense of extreme danger.

He had only felt this kind of threat before when facing Demon Dukes and Demon Grand Dukes.

But now, the one making him feel this way was... a human!

"Attack together! We can’t let him keep getting stronger!" Raphael had lost all his initial calmness and composure. He was starting to doubt himself.

He desperately wanted all the other Demons to attack Aiden at once.

Only then would they avoid any unexpected disasters.

Just then, the Blackfire Cloak behind Aiden shook violently, unleashing a flood of black flames.

These flames didn’t form a barrier. Instead, they swirled rapidly around Aiden’s body.

This was the Blackfire Cloak’s effect: Blackfire Clad!

In the blink of an eye, Aiden’s entire aura had changed!

The black flames, combined with the Blackfire Cloak and his smoky black wings, made him look like an avenger returning from hell!

Being Blackfire Clad didn’t just make Aiden look more majestic and mysterious. It also increased his skill attack range by 20% and his health regeneration speed by 20%.

Plus, the mana spent to activate Blackfire Clad was temporarily converted directly into Spirit stats!

At this moment, Aiden’s four main stats had reached an absolutely terrifying level!

His powerful Spirit stat had supercharged his senses. Even though he was still far from Raphael, Aiden could clearly hear the demon’s heart racing faster than ever.

"Finally," Aiden muttered, clenching his fist and feeling the surge of raw Strength in his body, "I finally have a chance to use my full Strength."

With this power-up, Aiden was finally ready to go all-out against the four Mythic Rank Demon geniuses.

He also checked the Bane of All Races Ring.

[Current Damage Boost vs. Demon Clan: 92%]

He remembered that after killing the Legendary Rank Goat Demon in the Abyss, the boost was only 72%.

He hadn’t expected the Scorpion-Tailed Demon and the Black Smoke Demon Philip to jump it up by another 20%!

This meant that if he could deal one million damage to a normal racial boss, the same attack would hit these Demon geniuses for a terrifying 1.92 million!

Aiden took a deep breath, forcing his excitement down. Later, if he managed to kill Raphael and the others, the effect of the Bane of All Races Ring would grow even stronger!

Only now did Aiden fully understand why his very first Mythic Rank special item was named the Bane of All Races Ring.

From now on, any creature from any race other than humans who dared to invade Earth would become his prey!

"I just wonder how many Demons I need to kill," Aiden thought, "to make the Demon Clan fear me and feel negative emotions like dread. If that happens, the Bane of All Races Ring will level up."

He looked at the four Mythic Rank Demon geniuses surrounding him. He planned to start with these guys, letting the Abyss Demon race slowly realize just how terrifying and powerful he was.

Usually, the Demon geniuses would have attacked Aiden all at once. But now, they hesitated.

Their expressions were grim. They stared at Aiden with wide, fearful eyes, too afraid to make the first move.

Gaunt Demon Raphael took a deep breath, gritting his teeth. "Don’t be afraid! He must have used a skill with huge side effects. We just need to drag out the time. Once those effects hit, we’ll win for sure!"

"Draw, go underground and look for an opening!"

"Loros, control the vines and provide support!"

"Beliar, keep a safe distance and distract Aiden to create an opening for me!"

This was the first time Raphael had ever given tactical orders.

Against other human Reclassers, he never needed a plan.

But things were different now. He had a bad feeling that if he kept fighting like before, he might actually die here!

Vine Demon Loros, Insect Demon Draw, and Gnome Demon Beliar immediately sprang into action.

"Damn it, is that really the team captain? His pressure is almost choking me out!" Weak as he was, Victor suddenly got pumped up.

He stared at Aiden’s back in disbelief, his eyes wide open.

Nelle took a deep breath, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes. She murmured softly to herself:

"So, this is his true power. Whether he was fighting me earlier or in the personal tournament, he was hiding most of his strength all along."

"My arrogance back then was truly ridiculous."

Just then, Aiden calmly raised his gaze and looked up at the sky.

He lightly shook his Jade Sword, then hurled it high into the air.

Turning to the surrounding Demon geniuses, he declared:

"When the long sword falls, that is when you will fall!"
