The Lord of Dragon Turtle stared coldly at John.

"If I’m not mistaken, you should specialize in summoning, right?

"Now that I have sealed your summons, there is only one path left for you.

"Death."

...

Hearing this, John showed no emotion at all. He merely cast Detection in silence.

The opponent’s information panel immediately appeared before his eyes.

[Lord of Dragon Turtle（Fallen）]

[Skills]: Dragon Turtle Spirit Domain, Forbidden Law Judgment, Heart of the Fallen...

[Introduction]: Due to being contaminated by demonic energy, it has fallen into a monster with no self-awareness, possessing extremely high attack damage and extremely powerful defense.

A thousand years ago, it was still a righteous and awe-inspiring Dragon Turtle.

...

"Interesting. A thousand years ago, it was still normal.

"In other words, after being contaminated by demonic energy, the Dragon Turtle race invaded the White Tiger territory a thousand years ago.

"And that eventually led to the current situation."

John stared at the Lord of Dragon Turtle before him, and a guess formed in his heart.

He immediately spoke.

"If my guess is correct, you are no longer the original Lord of Dragon Turtle, are you?

"The current you should be called something else...

"A demon?"

After hearing John’s words, the Lord of Dragon Turtle showed no intention of denying it.

On the contrary, it proudly raised its python-like head.

"That’s right. I am a demon. So what?

"When I once walked the righteous path, I was restrained everywhere I went.

"But now that I have become a demon, who in this world dares to provoke me?

"Speaking of which, I really should thank you. That old fool insisted on clinging to some so-called righteous path. He sealed himself away, and in the end, his clansmen all died by his own hand.

"Now that you have broken the seal, I finally have a way to escape.

"Once I kill you, this entire world will be mine to roam! Hahaha!"

...

John’s brows furrowed slightly.

Just as he had guessed, this Lord of Dragon Turtle had long since lost its original sense of self.

What was controlling this body now was merely the will of the demonic path after its fall.

Fortunately, the person who had accepted this quest was him.

If this quest had been accepted by any player whose abilities were even slightly weaker, perhaps an incomparably terrifying demon would have been nurtured here in The Far West.

This demon had taken control of the Lord of Dragon Turtle’s body. Once it appeared outside Blackstone Main City, it could absolutely turn an entire city’s people into demonized humans and beasts!

At that time, it might even trigger the outbreak of a great war between humans and demons.

"No wonder the quest guidance on the second floor of the Holy Grail space brought me here.

"So this is a disaster the White Tiger race failed to eliminate back then.

"Only those who pass the trial on the second floor of the Holy Grail would be considered capable of dealing with this demonic beast."

Once his thoughts cleared, John no longer hesitated.

He reached out with his hands.

The Dragonflame Scepter and the Death Staff instantly appeared in his left and right hands.

When the Lord of Dragon Turtle saw this, a sneer appeared on its face.

"Overestimating yourself. You are a summoner. I doubt you have much mastery in magic.

"With that little bit of magical attack power, I doubt you can even break my defense."

However, in the next moment, the expression on its face froze.

Because the Lord of Dragon Turtle saw increasingly dense energy masses forming around John’s two scepters.

The magic power contained within them even made it feel a sense of danger.

And this was not even the limit.

Under the horrified gaze of the Lord of Dragon Turtle, John slowly fused the two energy masses together, turning them into an energy sphere that made chills run through the Lord of Dragon Turtle’s body.

"What... what is that?"

"A summoner cannot possibly have such powerful magical attack!"

"He can actually fuse two opposing energy masses into one?"

"Where exactly did this human come from?"

The Lord of Dragon Turtle stared at John’s figure, its mind filled with confusion and fear.

It could no longer care about anything else. It immediately mobilized its strength, preparing to use Forbidden Law Judgment once again.

Even if this damaged its origin, it would not hesitate.

As long as it sealed John’s magical attack, then no matter how strong he was, he would no longer pose any threat!

The demonic black mist around the Lord of Dragon Turtle surged as it began forcefully using Forbidden Law Judgment.

However, it was already too late.

"Die!"

John roared.

In the next moment, even the mountain beneath his feet began to crack from the violent energy mass.

Under the horrified gaze of the Lord of Dragon Turtle, the energy mass shot toward it at extreme speed.

No!

The Lord of Dragon Turtle activated the turtle shell on its body, preparing to defend.

However, the instant they made contact, cracks appeared all across its shell.

One had to know that this turtle shell possessed dual defenses against monsters.

As the greatest master of defense in the world, it had never seen an attack capable of cracking its shell!

But now, this shell, which could withstand millions of points of damage in one blow, had actually been broken!

That meant the opponent’s damage this time was far above 5,000,000.

Terrifying beyond belief!

Crack!

The turtle shell finally could not withstand such terrifying pressure. It shattered bit by bit.

A massive damage value appeared above the Lord of Dragon Turtle’s head.

[-40,180,000!]

Even though the turtle shell had offset 5,000,000 damage, the remaining power of the energy mass still left the Lord of Dragon Turtle’s HP heavily crippled.

This was the result of John mastering his clones to the extreme.

The instant he released the energy mass, he made all 999 clones stack their power at the same time.

But what he showed his opponent was only his main body.

Naturally, this caused the opponent to misjudge him and believe that John’s attack was nothing more than that.

With this move, he severely injured the Lord of Dragon Turtle in a single strike.

However, in the very next moment, a dazzling black light erupted from the Lord of Dragon Turtle’s body.

In an instant, John’s staff lost its luster.

[You have been forbidden from using magic!]

A look of surprise appeared on John’s face.

"It can still prohibit me?"

"Heh, heh, heh!"

The Lord of Dragon Turtle, having lost its turtle shell, looked somewhat horrifying. While spitting black blood, it laughed sinisterly.

"Now that you have lost your magic, you are nothing more than a mere mortal. Let me trample you as I please!"

Pfft!

However, in the next moment, a scarlet blade pierced through its body.

[-102,190,000!]

Its HP, which had already been heavily crippled, instantly vanished under John’s fatal strike.

Even at the moment of its death, the Lord of Dragon Turtle could not understand how one person could possess extremely high magical attack, summoned creatures, and terrifying physical attack damage at the same time!

Was this still a human?

[You have killed platinum-grade Boss Lord of Dragon Turtle Lv.120. EXP +1,100,000,000, gold coins +1,100,000, Fame +11,000,000!]

[You have plundered SS-grade skill: Law of Prohibition!]

[You have plundered SS-grade Dragon Turtle Set!]

[Congratulations, player. You have completed the third-stage quest and obtained the quest reward: Origin of Priest!]

...

A series of notifications rang out, and John let out a long breath.

Looking at the additional Origin of Priest in his backpack, his face filled with joy.

"I’ve finally gathered the last Origin of Class. Next, another new level restriction will be unlocked!"

John did not hesitate at all.

He decisively used the final Origin of Priest!
