Dungeon of Pride, Laplace

Chapter 899- MK 3 Armour

That is to say, now that he used the skill to evade the large AOE magic from earlier, the duration he could stay inside the rift using [Rift Walk] has become incredibly short.

As if his body had no substance, Shasurna in his Ice Wyrm king form passed through the demon like he was some kind of ghost.

"What?" The snake king was shocked; however, in his anger he did not give up on his assault easily. He attacked again and again forcing Simon to continuously use his [Rift Walk] at that distance.

Finally, after a while, his attack connected.

BAM!!

"Ice Wyrm Bind" Shasurna shouted. His tail wrapped around the demon tightly restricting all of his movements.

"Hahaha, good one Shasurna. Leave the final blow to me"

At the same moment, the Ivory Rhino King came charging at him at supersonic speed. His big burly arms that was more than twice the size of an average human thigh, vibrated at an insane speed and some kind of jelly like substance coiled around his biceps.

Yverza was using the same move he did from before. Though this time, it was sure to land.

"Take this, the might of my rhino clan. [Body Empowerment— Power Lariat".

The Ivory Terraquake Rhino roared.

Simon who was unable to break through the bind of the Ice Wyrm skill saw the elbow of the rhino king magnifying in front of his eyes at his every millisecond.

Just before it connected, an expression of determination appeared on his face. The left eye on him flashed.

BANG… as if hundreds of thousands of TNT exploded, the noise was so deafening that it could be heard from all around the floor.

The powerful lariat move from Yverza connected shattering any and all defences along with the bones of the demon. The latter broke off the binding and fell towards the ground like a meteor from the pure force.

SILENCE~ an absolute silence descended onto the floor before getting overwhelmed by the loud cheers of the three clans.

"We did it… We did it. We finally defeated the demon!!"…

"Nobody can stand on their feet after receiving that move from Lord Yverza. It is our victory"…

"That demon should be dead. Even if he is not, he won't be able to fight any longer"…

"Hahaha, did you see that you inferior orcs? Orcs our lords won. Give up now, this battle is over".

While the ogre, rhino and the snake clan cheered, the orcs fighting the battle were devastated. Many of them even felt the will to fight slip through them. Their eyes masked with despair and disbelief.

"How can this be? Did our lord really get defeated?"…

"Will our race of Orcs get defeated and subdued by the ogres once again?"..

They were just about to throw down their weapons in surrender when they saw the orcs commanders who were closest to the Orc King Berigard, still fighting with all their might.

No hesitation or fear could be seen from their fight almost as if they didn't believe that the battle was over yet.

"What are you bastards doing? Get your weapons up and get back to fighting. If you lots have time to think, than use that to fight to your death. There is no way our lord would be defeated, he is someone who cannot be judged using common sense"

Berilock shouted. Together with Other Orc Generals, he kept mounting the pressure on the enemy.

Seeing one of their generals still fighting, the rest of them also raised their weapons and joined the fray. The battle continued.

Over at the centre of the floor, the three kings hurriedly assembled around the crater where the demon crashed.

"That attack was quite powerful, no matter what tricks he has, I'm sure the demon is knocked unconscious if not extremely injured after that"

Shasurna commented. Since he was closest to the demon, he could tell how powerful the attack was. What's more, thanks to his [Ice Wyrm Bind], the attack connected squarely on the demon's chest.

Usually, Gil-Garna who was always radical, felt that the demon was done for this time. 'Now then, since the demon has been taken care of, it's time…'

He was just in the midst of organising his thoughts when he saw the dust cloud coming from the centre of the crater clear off and the figure planted on the ground appear in his vision.

"This!!" At that moment his eyes widened and his mind became blank for a moment.

Noticing his change, the other two kings also followed his gaze and stared at the centre of the crater only to freeze in place the second.

"How can that be? This is impossible. I saw with my own eyes the attack connect?"

Shasurna muttered in disbelief. He rubbed his eyes as if doubting it. Yverza started at his hand and Gil-Garna was sceptic. As beings who stood at the top of this forest, their perception and cognitive abilities were higher than anyone in this forest.

If it was any deception or any trick, they would easily be able to see it. Yet even with their skills, they were unable to see this outcome. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

What was going on? The same thought ran through the heads of all of them. They saw the attack connect. There was no time to dodge nor did they sense any attempt to dodge from the demon.

Yet then why… why was there this thing?

Gil-Garna, Yverza an Shaurna stared at the centre of the crater. There a figure could be seen lying on the floor.

The attack had connected and the demon fell on the floor or so it should have been. So why was there this grey thing instead of the demon?

Thought as they much, they couldn't arrive at an answer no matter what.

CRACK.. suddenly there was some movement from the grey thing. It spasmed, its whole body wiggling like a caterpillar and sounds of bones cracking could be heard from it.

After what seemed like a couple of seconds, the thing took on a humanoid form that vaguely resembled the demon and stood on its feet.
