Chapter 74: Demon Lord, The Playground (5)



Aleron found himself in a huge cavern. Right in front of him was a 100-meter statue of a black-horned being. He had a demonic appearance, wore cool full body armor from the carvings of the statue, and its eyes faintly glowed red, making it appear lifelike.

'Cool,' Aleron nodded as he looked at the statue.

[Dread-mode Trial begins.]

[Survive for 10 minutes to win.]

*Dhrrr....khr...*

Aleron heard the monotone notification and the whole cavern, one kilometer in diameter, started shaking violently as cracks appeared all over the floors, walls, and even ceiling.

Just as he floated up to avoid cracks beneath him, they spewed out a bunch of demonic wolves, all of them at early-stage Primeval rank.

The demonic wolves numbered 10 and all of them had eccentric magical patterns on their body, a glowing obsidian horn with red patterns, and gray eyes matching their light gray fur. [Neferite Regar Wolf]

Lifeform Rank: Primeval - Early stage.

Bloodline: Neferite Redmetal Bloodline

Stats:

-Strength: Prime 1

-Agility: Prime 1.5

-Health: Prime 1

-Stamina: Prime 1.5

-Magic Potency: Prime 1.5

-Mana Pool: Prime 1.5.

'Survive for ten minutes, eh? Alright.'

Aleron adorne his Magilore Slime Armor shimmering with an iridescent glow as it responded to his thoughts. The armor wrapped around him like a second skin five inches thick, providing a massive boost to his physical stats and enhanced magical abilities as an active reserve of Magilore.

"Awooo!"

Some wolves pounced at Aleron with their glowing claws while some wolves opened their mouths to release a whirling red-gray cyclone of glowing metal shards bearing great power.

Aleron blinked and vanished from his spot, teleporting behind the wolves who released long- range attacks and waving his hand.

*Swooosh!*

'Blazing Chakram.'

A blazing chakram formed, spinning intensely as it flew around and sliced off all five wolves.

'This will be a good place to practice creating skills fast,' Aleron grinned as he looked at the other five wolves who initially attacked him with claws turning around to open their mouths and releasing the long-range attack like the wolves.

The red-gray vertical cyclons bearing intense offensive power struck Aleron, but the Magilore Slime Armor simply absorbed their power.

"Nice attack," Aleron laughed as he pointed his palms at the wolves, releasing a vertical cyclone filled with blazing metal shards, sharp, and compressed with power.

They hit the wolves and exploded in fiery spectacles.

But just as those last five wolves died, a powerful roar echoed as more monsters started appearing out of cracks.

Aleron's eyes glowed with excitement, thrilled to fight to his heart's content during these ten minutes of survival.

The next wave of demonic beasts was a horde of spiked-shell turtles, their shells had exotic blue patterns of their blood, and their aura was frigid icy.

In response, Aleron grinned and conjured two flame swords, layering them with a bunch of Arcane Syllasbuses to increase their power.

'Dance of Twin Flame Blades.'

[Soul Potency: Ace - 2 (649,200/1000k)]

- [Soul Force: Ace - 2 (648,290/1000k)]

'Holy shit, he got Magilore energy!' Aleron was startled. 'Wait....does that mean it can break

through my Magilore Armor?'

Demon Lord Jargus's eyes glowed before his forehead opened a round orb that released a terrifying crimson laser whirling with bright red and dark orange sparks towards Aleron, which instantly struck his Magilore armor as he couldn't even react.

*Boom!*

An explosion occurred as Aleron was smacked into the wall almost a kilometer away in a

second.

Looking down, he checked the spot where he was struck and saw that there was a burnt mark on the armor where that laser hit him. However, that burnt mark was swiftly recovered. However, he saw that around 1 million of his Magilore energy was used to recover that!

'Damn!'

'Alright, my quality of Magilore is lower than his due to my Magic Pontecy being way lower, so my random attack skills won't work on him either.'

Aleron activated his Monitor Dome, fueling it with a couple of million Magilore energy.

Using Monitor Dome, he would be able to react to the Demon Lord's attacks.

And indeed. He felt a surge of power from Demon Lord and without even looking at anywhere

else, he directly teleported to another spot.

*Boom!*

A super-fast laser had once again struck the same spot where he was just half a second ago!

However, his heart jumped to his throat as he sensed another attack, but it was too late as the

laser struck his armor again.

Looking at the Magilore consumption of the Demon Lord, its one attack cost him 1000 Magilore while Aleron needed 1,000,000 Magilore to recover from the damage done by that laser attack that used 1000 Magilore.

'I have to be constantly on the move and use my best attacks.' Aleron's mind closed off everything except for the pool of Arcane knowledge he had gathered

from thousands of books and scrolls.

While fueling his Magilore Slime Armor with Magilore and constantly teleporting around

with partial thought, Aleron started creating a skill.

He wasn't even looking or paying attention to the Demon Lord. He was just teleporting

around.

Thirty seconds remained.

Outside in the hall, all the people were overwhelmed.

"Only thirty seconds left! Dread-mode will finally open, haha."

"True. It's been over a hundred years since this cube appeared, and it will finally open the

Dread-mode today."

"Those attacks aren't even putting a scratch on him due to that Armor. Crazy. He wins this

easily. Only 25 seconds left to survive."

"Survive?" Yueha softly snorted as the people were heatedly talking. 'Master will defeat it.'

The trial was just about surviving, and not defeating this Demon Lord. However, Aleron wanted to defeat this Demon Lord Jargus before the survival countdown!
