Galaxy Fall: All My Skills Are Maxed-Chapter 147: Esmeralda

[Inside The Pillar.]

​The Pillar huge chamber was dimmed, only illuminated by torches placed on the wall that burned with a strange, sap-scented magical fire. This wasn’t merely a room; it was the hollowed-out core of a colossal, living organism. Thick green tree veins wrapped itself around each pillar, moving slowly like it has its own life, pulsing with the dense life-force that saturated the entire zone.

​The veins moved towards the center of the chamber, weaving together to form an elevated dais where a green throne sat, blooming with eternal flora. Sitting on it was a green skin human, she was half naked, with only green leaves on her private parts. Her ethereal beauty was matched only by the terrifying density of her aura.

​At the moment, she was currently sleeping, resting her back on the throne, not bothered about the battle happening outside. Her absolute confidence stemmed from her absolute control; to her, the slaughter beyond her walls was just the natural order of her domain defending itself.

​WHOOSH!

​The ancient silence was broken as the space before her tore opened, and a starlit gateway appeared, forcefully bypassing the dungeon’s spatial locks.

​"Hmm..."

​She slowly opened her glowing purple eyes, staring at the gateway, a slight frown forming on her beautiful face. The intrusion was an insult to her absolute authority.

​From it, Mirabella, Cupcake and Adira walked out. The heavy atmosphere of the chamber immediately pressed down on them, but Mirabella stood firm, her new abyssal tattoo hidden beneath her sleeve.

​"A human?" She muttered in a low voice, staring at Mirabella, who stood 200 meters from her. The sheer scale of the chamber made the distance feel vast, yet the Boss’s voice echoed with pinpoint clarity.

​"If I may, who are you human?" She asked, staring at Mirabella, her purple eyes flashing as she attempted to probe the intruder’s mind, only to meet an impenetrable wall.

​"Because, you not only are immune to my mental powers, you also have many strange powers in you... You aren’t an average human, am I right?" She asked calmly, still relaxed on her throne, displaying the arrogant poise of an apex predator analyzing an anomaly.

​Mirabella moved her gaze around the hall, staring at the thick, writhing tree veins, calculating the environmental hazards, then paused on the woman:

​"You are right." She nodded her head, refusing to show intimidation.

​"But I don’t want to kill you, well, not yet." She added.

​"Huh? If you’re not here to kill me, then why are you even in this dungeon?" She raised one elegant finger, which a red glowing ring was on, and pointed it at Mirabella. The eternal ring pulsed with a terrifying, ancient power.

​"All Humans who have entered this dungeon are always here to kill me... But all of them have failed." She said, her tone laced with absolute certainty.

​"Failed? Are you saying all of those who entered this dungeon failed to kill you?" Mirabella was confused. Her mind raced; if this Boss was truly undefeated, how did the historical records show clearings of this zone?

​The system chimed, answering her unspoken question as the Boss’s status screen forcefully materialized in her vision.

​’Another Divine realm Boss! And this one god skill is even more unbelievable... Now I understand why she is unkillable, As long this zone stands, she can’t be killed. If she is by chance killed, she will simply resurrect after the dungeon record her dead.’ Mirabella slowly nodded her head, the brutal mechanics of the world fully revealing themselves. The divine strike earlier had taught her that raw stats weren’t everything; environmental laws dictated true victory.

​"Seems to kill you, I can only destroy this world." She said, her voice echoing coldly in the massive chamber.

​"And you don’t have the powers to achieve that." The Divine tree smiled, her gaze fixed sharply on Adira, recognizing the fairy’s potent spirit energy but knowing it wasn’t enough to uproot a planetary domain.

​"What about we make a deal human?" She suggested with a smile, pivoting from a posture of defense to one of negotiation.

​"Killing me won’t get you anywhere... You can only get some small rewards, but you won’t get this eternal ring, or any powerful skills." She gestured gracefully to the red ring on her finger, dangling the ultimate prize.

​"Deal? What deal?" Mirabella asked, her gamer’s instincts flaring at the prospect of a hidden quest.

​"I naturally don’t make deals with anyone, especially not with a human. But you’re different." She waved her hand, and the ambient life-force warped. A black orb appeared in front of Mirabella, hovering with a dense, spirit energy.

​"Use that and help me destroy that gate in the sky, and I will give you any skill you dream to acquire... And it will be a legendary grade skill. What do you say?" She asked, staring intently at Mirabella.

​"You mean the demon gate?" Mirabella asked, moving her gaze from the abyssal orb to the ancient lady before her.

​"Yeah, that’s right... That gate was placed there by the first elite guard of the emperor, and due to its appearance, my world is always getting invaded... You should already know my powers, without my world, I will lose my greatest advantage."

​The lore deepened. This wasn’t just a dungeon; it was a proxy war between the Emperor’s forces and the ancient forces of the realm.

​"Hmm..." Mirabella held her jaw, her mind calculating the risks and the astronomical rewards. "How can I close this gate?" She asked.

​"You just have to enter the gate, and that orb will teleport you to three cities of the demons. You just need to wipe out these three cities, and you’ll destroy the strings holding the gate."

​"Wait... I will have to enter the abyss to achieve this! How will I return from such a place?!" Mirabella’s eyes widened. The Abyss was a myth-tier zone, entirely separated from the standard server maps:

’You can’t even find it in the southern region, that was the place the demon emperor resides in, this is dangerous.’

​"You have something in you that can take you out... I am sure that kid, Hayatobi, gave it to you... Besides, I also have my ways to bring you back." She said, staring at Mirabella with an omniscient glint in her purple eyes.

​"Ok." Mirabella nodded her head. Hayatobi did give her something like that, but by the tone this ancient lady address Hayatobi:

​’They must be close.’ She exhaled, processing the hidden connections between the powerful master teacher with this lady.

​’Besides, I want to see the abyss, and I also plan to enter that gateway... Well, two birds with one stone.’ She nodded, firming her resolve, and stared at the Realm Boss before her. She was about to step into the most dangerous zone in existence, and she needed the perfect arsenal.

​"I need a very special skill, can you give that to me?"

​"What type of skill?"
