Chapter 385: Hunting Black Dragon

“That trap of yours is so annoying, should I cut it for you?”

Tiiiiiing—

Her sword moved at a speed that even Vormon could not follow. The sword moved precisely and swiftly, as it swept through Vormon’s jaw and cut the muscles underneath his thick skin.

“Keuaaaaaaaaaack!” A scream erupted from Vormon’s mouth as the bottom part of his jaw hung loosely.

Shock. The whole world fell silent at this very moment. Vormon’s hide was extremely tough and so strong, that the rankers could not cut through it, even using their powerful attack skills. They could not even be considered to be cutting, as much as beating his tough hide. And yet, Continental Emperor Ellie just lightly swung her sword and the muscles in Vormon’s jaw had been cut off.

Plenty of people thought that Ellie was already dead. This was because Xu Jiaqi had spoken ill of her and had declared that Ellie was likely to have fallen into eternal rest after she had awakened her sealed power. In fact, Ellie had not appeared in front of the public for quite a long time.

But now, she appeared again and with silver hair no less. Just with that alone, everyone all over the world could tell that she was in a state where she had awakened her powers completely.

Blood continued to drip down Vormon’s jaw as he struggled from her attack. Ellie continued to glare coldly at him, as she moved her sword once again. She said, “It seems like that’s all you have.”

Then, her sword stabbed at Vormon’s eye.

Crack, crack, crack, crack—

Ellie’s sword dug deep into Vormon’s eye, until it finally reached the black jewel that he had hidden in the depths of his eye. That was right. Vormon pretended to hide the black jewel in the middle of his brows, but in fact, he hid it behind his eye.

Shatter—

The black jewel hidden behind Vormon’s eye shattered into pieces. And with that, another ear-piercing scream was ripped out of Vormon’s mouth.

“Keuaaaaaaaaaaack!”

Then, a set of notifications rang for the players present in the area.

[Vormon’s Vitality Stone has been successfully broken.]

[Vormon will no longer be able to use his regenerative ability.]

A small fire of hope burned for the players once again. However, that small hope was immediately extinguished.

[Vormon has released the last of his powers to protect himself.]

“Graaaaaaaaaaaack!”

A powerful mana burst out from Vormon’s body. The mana wave was so powerful that the players could not endure it, and their bodies were sent flying.

“Urrrrrk!”

“Kyaaaaaack!”

The same was true for the members of the Let’s Eat Sect Guild. They were all lying flat on the floor after failing to maintain their balance. Then, a shocking notification rang in their ears.

[Vormon’s Final Awakening!]

[All damage has been recovered!]

[Magic Cooldown has decreased by 50%]

[Magical Attack has increased by 30%.]

[Magical Penetration has increased by 50%.]

[Maximum number of magic that can be used has been doubled.]

[HP and MP has increased by 1.9x]

[Defense has increased by 1.5x]

“...!”

“...!”

“...!”

“...!”

He was just like a final boss. This meant that the surviving troops were in a very hopeless situation. Carr was left in a daze after cutting off another member of the Legion of Despair. He murmured, “Can we even kill that...?”

Vormon’s strength was already beyond what they could even imagine. However, he got even stronger. His defense had increased by 1.5x. As if his power was not enough, even his HP had almost doubled. And with the 50% increase in magical penetration, he could ignore his enemy’s defenses and inflict additional damage. On top of that, his magical attack had increased by 30%, while his cooldown decreased by 50%. Simply put, Vormon’s power had doubled. This was a fact that no one could deny.

“Ha...”

“Your mom.”

“F*ck everything...!”

Curses and voices of resentment directed towards the Athenae management rang one after the other. This was an inevitable outcome. They had broken the jewel that was the source of Vormon’s regeneration, only to be presented with more despair and hopelessness.

“Kikikikikikikikikiki!” Vormon laughed maniacally, causing everyone’s skin to crawl. The mockery and difficulty of the task at hand were extremely real.

[Vormon has achieved his final awakening.]

[However, I think that it’s still a bit too much. In the first place, Vormon is already a monster that can’t be hunted by anyone with our current levels.]

Vormon fell back down on the ground as blood spurted out from the huge gash on his back.

Thuuuuuuuuud—

A thick cloud of dust rose from the ground as the entire army, as well as the whole world, watched in stunned silence. Ellie, who was standing still in the sky and casually looking down on Vormon’s existence, looked peerless and unrivaled.

[...]

[...]

[...]

“...”

“...”

“...”

Everyone watching the scene held their breaths. They did not even realize that they had been holding their breath as they continued to watch the scene in silence. The entire world was both in awe and admiration after witnessing the tremendous power that Ellie, an NPC from the small country of Korea, had displayed.

Just when Ellie was going to swing her sword again...

Keuhaaaaaaaaaak—

...a tremendous amount of mana radiated out of Vormon’s body. And with that, thousands of beams of light flashed and stretched out from the gaps in the thick cloud of dust.

Shwa, shwa, shwa, shwa, shwa, shwa—

“Di... Diss...?!”

Minhyuk knew what the skill was. This was a skill called ‘Diss’. Ali, a mage, could only use this in limited numbers. This was his strongest one-shot kill skill. But this very same Diss was being cast by the thousands, which attacked the people in the vicinity indiscriminately.

Ping, ping, ping, ping, ping—

“Keuhaaaaack!”

“Aaaaaaaaack!”

The worst part was that Diss did not stop even after it struck one enemy, it continued forward and pierced through the enemies behind them.

Shwa, shwa, shwa, shwa, shwa—

Ellie also hurriedly used her shield to block the attack, but the spears of light created by the Diss skill were unimaginably fast and strong.

Clang—

The spears of light broke down Ellie’s shield as they locked on and attacked Ellie’s body. Thankfully, her high defense saved her and stopped the spears of light from piercing through her body. However...

“Urk!”

A mouthful of blood gushed out of her mouth. The damage of the attack itself was beyond anyone could imagine. The spears of light exterminated the rest of the army, leaving only 4,000 of the troops. Even the members of the Let’s Eat Sect Guild were in a similar situation.

Locke stood in front of Cerberus and stopped the spears of light from reaching it, which led to his death.

“Keuaaaaaaaaack!”

“Graaaaaaaaaaa!”

Cerberus roared in grief. Meanwhile, Abel continued to fly in the air and send his attacks towards Vormon. However, he was immediately shot down by the attack and forced to log out. The members of the Let’s Eat Sect Guild were all forced to log out.

“Kahahahahahahaha!” Vormon laughed maniacally.

That was right. If Ellie’s attack was focused on a single target, Vormon’s attack was an AOE skill. No, perhaps he could even control the range and target of his magic, making it work both ways.

“Urgh.”

The spears of light stabbed on her body and made Ellie fall down on the ground. She watched as Vormon flew in the sky once again. He had now transformed and changed into his human form. This was so he could avoid being attacked indiscriminately due to his huge size.

In his human form, Vormon was a handsome man with white hair, wearing a white robe and holding a white staff.

Crackle—

The sky was torn apart to reveal a space with thousands of fireballs from hell that started to fall down on the ground. This was none other than Hellfire.

“...!”

“...!”

“...!”

Hellfire was a high-tiered magic that was only a level lower than Diss. However, it was also an AOE attack skill. These Hellfires would literally turn this place into hell. It did not end there. Thousands of spears of light also appeared and fell down from the sky.

“Keuhahahahahaha!”

Vormon’s body was still dripping blood from Ellie’s attack, but his laugh was filled with delight. After all, his catastrophic magic was slowly falling down on the remaining forces in the Continent Cloud. The number of magic attacks that he sent out was enough to annihilate everyone present here.

But at that moment, the voice of a mage, the voice that Minhyuk knew all too well, rang loudly in the area.

“Dispel.”
