Chapter 492: Chapter 492: The New King
This situation left all sentient beings in both manors utterly speechless.
The Blood Descendants are not ordinary beings.
Each one in the Holy City can warrant the Adventure Guild to single out and issue a warrant…
Tens of thousands of Worm-changed Blood Descendants disappeared entirely within seconds, even their faintest trace could not be detected, leaving everyone at the scene baffled.
Even the Mature Deviant Demon in Scarlet Manor had never seen such a sight before.
However, Dumps was not done yet.
By pressing the special button on the cube with the sixth finger, he locked up the space inside, sealing the Worm-changed Blood Descendants that had been taken in… while at the same time pressing another button on the side.
Hum!
A semi-transparent Dark Gold Space, with the cube at its center, expanded rapidly to encompass both Dumps and the head steward.
However, this kind of space did not carry any negative effects.
Due to the level of the magic operator, a mature Deviant Demon like the head steward couldn’t be drawn into it.
The Dark Gold Space stabilized completely when it expanded to a radius of one hundred meters.
Its sole role was to implement [Isolation].
To isolate all outside influences and prevent any interference in the upcoming battle… that is to say, Dumps was about to engage the head steward in combat within this isolated space.
“What… did you do?”
The head steward asked, unable to comprehend.
“Just imprisoning life forms weaker than me…”
While answering the question, Dumps used his sixth finger to open a passage to the Deep Sea Treasure and retrieved a long spear entwined with seaweed and embedded with seashells.
Completely different from “The Raven” in Han Dong’s hand.
This kind of long spear was a pure Chaos Weapon in every sense, tailor-made for Dumps and capable of growing with him.
At the same time,
He pressed the mysterious button on the cube again.
Click… click… click~~~
The cube was gradually disassembled into 1mm side length Dark Gold plates, which perfectly assembled around Dumps’ left hand into an adaptive Dark Gold Glove.
At the moment the glove was formed,
Dumps immediately snapped his fingers.
Pop! Accompanied by a metallic collision sound.
In an instant, the ‘Magic Force’ outputted from Dumps, intensified a level under the effect of the glove.
At the same time, the Magic Force also carried a power originating from the [New King].
Boom…
Hellfire, covering an area of twenty meters, completely engulfed the head steward.
A smell of charred matter filled the air.
Squeak… squeak… squeak… agh! A strange bug cry echoed from within, reverberating throughout the heavens and the earth.
Such a scream caused the Count sitting on the roof of the manor to rise to his feet in shock once again.
Although the previous disappearance of tens of thousands of Worm-changed Blood Descendants was incomprehensible to the Count, it didn’t matter much.
After all, he had an aversion to those disgusting bugs himself.
As long as the head steward remained unaffected, everything would be fine.
In the count’s observation, there couldn’t possibly be any presence in the opposing Manor that could directly confront the head steward… The closed space Dumps was using was nothing but a suicidal trap.
However.
The head steward was actually injured…
Such a horrific scream indicated that its source had been hurt.
…
Just as everyone was astonished that an Apprentice Knight could actually hurt a Mature Deviant Demon.
Dumps, on the other hand, didn’t look so pleased.
He could clearly sense the situation within the fire.
The head steward, at the core of the roasting fire, was less injured than he had anticipated.
“The instinct-driven bug managed to generate a multiple-layered heat-insulating shell all over its body in response to its exposure to the ignited energy point… Impressive.”
Dumps then made another gesture with his left hand.
Without any incantation or casting process,
As the flames receded, pieces of Ice Crystals floated in the air.
‘Ice Coffin’
He used a super-low temperature to freeze the head steward, who had burns all over, its shell burnt red, and was still in a high-temperature state.
The interchange of fire and ice magic methodology was as smooth as flowing water in Dumps’ hand.
It wasn’t simply the damage from the fire magic and ice magic themselves that was dangerous — the immense deadly power lies in the abrupt change in temperature from hot to cold, causing atoms in the body to disintegrate at a microscopic level.
The combination of the two was one of Dumps’ signature moves.
However…
Crack!
The layer of ice shattered.
The severely battered butler escaped with the aid of numerous mantis-like arms and barbed tentacles that had grown from his body and forcibly moved the ice layer.
Just as Dumps was trying to further freeze him…
The Butler’s eyes suddenly lost their lustre.
The freeze was complete!
However, the Butler had already executed an action just in time — [Moulting]
The new Segmented Worm body, moist with sticky fluid, quickly separated from the split in its back.
Abandoning the ruined outer layer and its aristocratic attire, the true form was revealed.
Just as the split was complete…
Hundreds of “segmented worm limbs” crazily grew from within the Butler, stabbing at Dumps from every angle.
“Defend!”
The dark gold gauntlet clenched into a fist.
Ting ting ting~~
The continuous collision sounds spread out.
The worm limbs all struck an invisible dark gold barrier about a meter from Dumps, unable to penetrate… however, correspondingly, several thin cracks began to appear on the barrier’s surface.
Finding this weak point…
The Butler himself attacked, his arm transforming into five sharp, conical spikes, violently striking the crack and forcibly tearing open the barrier… successfully getting up close to Dumps.
“Cover!”
The gauntlet opened.
The dark gold layers that originally comprised the gauntlet quickly spread over Dumps’ entire body, forming a full-body light armor.
This full-body light armor didn’t inhibit his movements at all but even further enhanced Dumps’ physical abilities.
The worm sickles, stingers and fluids could not penetrate the defense of this layer of light armor.
For a moment, Dumps transformed into a Close Combat Mage!
The right palm tightly gripped the spear handle, using the sixth finger to minutely adjust the spear for perfect control in combat.
He pushed upwards with his finger, and flick!
Two worm stingers were flicked away, disintegrating into seawater.
The pressure of his finger intensified, and sweep!
An unbroken sweeping motion, paired with his momentum, forcibly pushed the relentlessly assaulting Butler back, and left a cut on his chest.
All six fingers clenched, and thrust!
The swirling spear instantaneously appeared before the Butler, the ‘seawater’ from the spear dissolving the armor on the butler’s chest…
Whoosh~ The spear pierced the Butler’s heart.
A centipede does not topple over after death.
Let alone that it was just one heart of the Butler that was pierced.
Dumps attack was far from over.
The portion of the spear that pierced the heart quickly filled the Butler’s body with seawater.
While using the spear with his right hand, the left hand wasn’t inactive either. It felt like two brains were simultaneously controlling Dumps’ body.
A condensed energy capsule was popped into his mouth.
With it, the energy used to control the cube and release the flames and frost was replenished by about 80%.
“Retrieve”
The full body armor was once again reduced to a gauntlet.
This time, Dumps directly drained more than half of his own energy. All of it was channeled into the left hand wearing the dark gold gauntlet.
He even started chanting some sort of high-level magic spell.
In an instant…
The clouds converged, and thunder rolled…
“High-level Thunder and Lightning Secret Art: Dragon of Lightning”
The moment the chanting ended…
He raised his left arm, wearing a dark gold glove charged with electric sparks, and pushed down forcefully!!
In the sky… a thunder dragon wrapped in dark gold light roared downwards, crashed into the Butler and completely devoured him.
The seawater covering the Butler’s entire body further increased the effect of the electricity.
