The blade landed heavily on the mask, embedding itself a little bit into it.
With the blade as the center, cracks began to slowly spread.
Kieran wasn't surprised though.
Since the mask was able to house the enemy's soul, it must have its own unique points and tenacity should be the most important point.
"Hold on!
We can make a deal!
"Don't you wonder why I can appear here?"
A hurried voice sounded from the mask.
Kieran didn't care and continued to exert his strength.
Of course he was curious.
But compared to his own curiosity, Kieran hoped to see the man, who was like a maggot in his bones, die in front of him.
He always believed that the best enemy was a dead one.
Until now, it hadn't changed!
"Dragon Sect's secret techniques!
I know all the secret techniques of Dragon Sect, I can tell you everything! "
The voice from the mask changed its persuasion method.
Kieran's hand paused for a moment.
"That's right, I can not only tell you, I can even teach you myself … Aaaaaargh!"
Just when the enemy thought the persuasion worked, the force in his hand paused. Kieran, who had finished another charge, slammed the mask down again.
Pak!
The mask shattered.
A sharp scream echoed in the corridor.
"Dragon Sect's secret techniques, I really want them.
But … "
"You are definitely not the one to tell or teach me."
As long as Kieran's brain wasn't damaged, he wouldn't ask for guidance from an enemy with ulterior motives.
Even more so, he had other ways.
It wasn't like he couldn't return to the Queen's Shield dungeon.
Back there, he had a high chance of getting what he wanted, instead of feigning civility with an enemy.
Pak!
Pak Pak!
The mask shattered but Kieran didn't stop slashing.
He swung his arm again and again.
When all the pieces of the mask were slashed to bits, Kieran walked towards the end of the corridor. He wouldn't touch the body for the time being.
Soon, Kieran found what he was looking for at the end of the corridor.
Grenades!
After he skillfully tied the three grenades together, Kieran pulled the pin.
The grenade landed on the pieces of the mask.
Immediately, the voice appeared again.
"You think this is the end!"
"When you enter that place, everything will just begin!"
"You will die a thousand times more miserable than me!"
"You …"
Boom!
An explosion interrupted the exasperated voice.
What was left was a scream that was even more miserable than before.
Thick dust spewed out from the small door. Kieran, who was leaning against the wall, patted the dust off his body and returned to the corridor.
The body of the pilot was blown into pieces by the explosion.
The pieces of the mask became even finer.
In fact, if it weren't for the lack of time, Kieran would have definitely found a few active volcanoes and tossed the mask fragments into them.
But he really didn't have that right now.
Because —
[Killing the target will be considered as completing the main mission in advance!]
[Player will leave the dungeon in 10 seconds …]
[Please take whatever items you wish to keep with you!]
(Note: Items that exceed the maximum weight limit will be automatically identified as items that cannot be brought out of the dungeon!)
…
Kieran glanced over the notifications that popped up in his vision and quickly searched the pieces of the body.
Unfortunately, he got nothing.
There were less than 5 seconds left in the dungeon, so Kieran scanned his surroundings.
Soon, he found his target: a few bigger pieces of the mask.
Squinting his eyes, Kieran used the longsword in his hand to gather the pieces together. When there was only one second left in the dungeon, he picked up the pieces.
A moment later, Kieran's figure vanished.
[Special Dungeon: Primordial Invasion]
[Dungeon Type: Special]
[Dungeon Difficulty: High]
[Main Mission: Let enough people know about the "real world" in 180 days!]
[Mission Completion: 100%]
[Special Rating: Eliminated the invader (Rating: Perfect)]
[Evaluating player final rating …]
…
When he returned to Wallway Street 13th, the notifications popped up in Kieran's vision but before Kieran could take a closer look, his sight turned black.
It was complete darkness.
There was no light at all.
There was no noise either.
Kieran stood in the dark, unable to move or speak, his eyes unable to see, his ears unable to hear, his nose unable to smell.
He frowned slightly.
The feeling was unfamiliar.
Kieran wasn't used to it either.
Fortunately, the noise came soon enough.
Dong, Dong Dong!
It was weak.
It was very small.
But Kieran felt an unknown sense of familiarity.
It was …
His heartbeat.
The heart that belonged to him.
At this moment, it was beating extremely weakly, as if it could stop at any moment. However, it was beating with all its might, with every beat it made.
Blood was slowly flowing through the veins as the heart pumped.
The runes branded on the veins were nourished by the blood.
They originated from Transcendence skills.
They were branded on the body.
They had long since become one with this body, and there was no distinction between them.
The blood continued to flow, nourishing the organs.
In the end …
It flowed into another heart that wanted to beat, but was tightly bound.
When this trace of blood came into contact with the heart, the restraints could no longer suppress the heart, and it began to beat again.
It was strong and powerful.
Dong Dong Dong!
Every beat was like the beating of a war drum.
Each beat was accompanied by the roar of the devil's power.
In the vast, barren, and dark wilderness, a lone red figure roared at the sky.
An unruly roar shook the heavens and the earth.
It wanted to move forward!
It wanted to move forward!
But invisible chains appeared one after another, restraining it. Unlike the previous restraints, this time, the restraints were targeted at it.
It was purposely prepared for it.
It fought again and again, but failed again and again.
Gradually, it became powerless.
From powerless to weak.
But it didn't give up.
It didn't acknowledge the so-called fate.
It didn't acknowledge the fake peace.
It roared at the sky again.
The voice began to spread.
It spread to some subtle places.
"Do you need help?"
"We need it too!"
"Why don't we …"
"Help each other?"
The lazy voice reached the crimson figure in an extremely weak manner.
It hesitated.
It hesitated.
Its arrogance made it hesitate.
Its suspicions made it hesitate.
"Hey, this opportunity doesn't come so easily."
"It can even be said that this is the only time."
"Are you sure you want to give up?"
"Then …"
"Continue to be restrained here and bark like a dog?"
The lazy tone of the voice didn't change, but the red figure became more and more scorching. It was angry. Angry at the other party's description.
But!
It was even more angry at its own helplessness.
Roar!
Another roar rang out.
This time, it was far louder than any previous roar.
It was like a thunderclap.
It was using its greatest strength to express one meaning: never give up.
"Very good!"
"We have reached an agreement."
"There is one guy left."
The lazy voice slowly faded, and the red figure slowly calmed down. It knew that now was not the time to waste its strength.
It had to accumulate strength.
It had to wait for the best moment to come.
…
The sound of the waves was endless.
In a position where the waves could never reach, a silent figure sat there.
It looked down at the waves that kept crashing against the cliff.
It looked at the waves that kept coming in the distance.
"It's useless."
"It's useless."
Such a murmur came from its mouth.
"How do you know it's useless if you don't try?"
"Give up without trying …"
"Every successful person used to be a failure."
"Let's work together to make a big one?"
The lazy voice sounded in its ear.
It seemed to turn a deaf ear.
There was no change in its face and figure.
It looked at the waves again.
Looking at the waves beating against the cliff, but returning in vain.
The waves were endless, but they didn't succeed.
How could it succeed?
"It's useless."
"It's useless."
It murmured again in a low voice.
"Tsk tsk, I'm really surprised!"
"That guy with nerves like steel and never giving up also has such a side."
There was a hint of surprise in the lazy voice.
Obviously, it was really surprised.
"Everyone has a side that is unknown to others."
"He can't learn to hide."
"But …"
"I still exist."
"Aren't you the same?"
It said faintly.
"Me?"
"I'm different from you."
"At least I know to try hard."
"And …"
"Try hard?"
"What's the use of trying hard?"
'You can see the endless sea water. It's trying its best to knock down this cliff and enter the new world.'
"But in the end?"
"They failed again and again."
The lazy voice was interrupted.
It looked at the sea, and its whole body was filled with endless depression.
He seemed to be a complete loser.
"In the end?"
"We are only at this point, and you already mention in the end?"
"Guys like you really annoy me."
"I'll ask you again —"
"Are you coming or not?"
There was a tinge of annoyance in his lazy voice.
The figure sitting on the edge of the cliff went silent.
Silence was the answer.
The lazy voice didn't stay for long.
He didn't have any more time to waste here with this bastard.
He had too many things to do.
One less is one less.
With such a thought in mind, Sloth walked out of his room.
He went into the living room, the only room in the building that was also connected to each other.
Pride sat there without saying a word.
Gluttony, on the other hand, was staring at Wrath, Greed, Envy, and Lust.
"Don't move."
"All of you, stay still."
"Or I'll eat you."
Gluttony muttered while wiping the saliva from his mouth.
"One succeeded."
"The last one didn't succeed."
Sloth said to Pride.
"That's enough."
Pride's words were simple as usual. His eyes glanced over Wrath, Greed, Envy, and Lust, but his arrogant face didn't show any emotion.
Although he hoped to have one more companion, one more power.
But in his point of view, these guys didn't even qualify to be mentioned in the same breath as him.
Especially at a time like this …
They were useless.
Instead, they would drag them down.
"Make them disappear for a while."
Pride said to Gluttony.
The arrogance in Pride's tone made Gluttony uncomfortable, but with so many 'delicacies' in front of him, he wouldn't care about anything else.
"I've been wanting to taste myself for a long time!"
With such words, Gluttony threw himself at Wrath, Greed, Envy, and Lust.
They would naturally resist.
But their resistance was futile.
They were already suppressed by Pride, and after Sloth joined the fray, they crumbled under Gluttony's devouring.
Wrath roared.
Greed twisted.
Envy cursed.
Sensual moans.
But so what?
One by one, Gluttony swallowed them.
Gluttony, on the other hand, started to inflate like a balloon, expanding infinitely.
Soon, it reached the roof of the hall.
But the roof was too sturdy.
It was so sturdy that it suppressed Gluttony's expansion to the side.
Pride didn't say a word. Without hesitation, he placed his hand on Gluttony.
"Sigh.
"I'm the one with the most miserable life.
"It's exhausting."
Sloth raised one hand and placed it on Gluttony's body while the other started to dance around. Sloth's eyes showed a never before seen seriousness.
Success or failure depended on this.
Life or death …
Depended on this!
His body started to turn blurry and transparent as his energy flowed out rapidly.
Then …
Disappeared.
"Divide your energy into eight parts!
'The strongest one is facing one meter in front of you. The rest, from the strongest to the weakest, stab in a clockwise direction at the strongest eight, ten, eleven, two, five, six, and seven points.'
"Remember!
"Do it at the same time!"
Sloth, whose body was half gone, shouted loudly.
Gluttony did as he was told.
He divided his energy into eight parts and struck the roof at the same time.
His swollen body started to shrink.
He poured all his energy into the attack.
In the end, he became illusory like Sloth.
But Gluttony didn't regret it.
He had been imprisoned here for too long.
He wanted to get out.
He wanted freedom.
Only with freedom would he be able to fulfill his … dream.
His body became illusory and unstable. Sloth felt the loosening, but his strength was almost exhausted. Pride was the same, and Sloth was about to disappear.
Gluttony took a deep breath.
"Bastard, what are you doing?!
"Stop!"
Sloth seemed to have noticed something, so he shouted loudly in his weakened state.
Gluttony turned around and grinned at Sloth and Pride.
"For my dream!"
He said.
Then, he opened his mouth wide and soared into the sky, biting at the ceiling.
He had a dream.
It was his only dream.
"Eat!
Eat all over the world! "
Gluttony, who was shouting his dream, bit the ceiling. His already blurry body exploded, and following the explosion, the indestructible ceiling started to shake violently.
Kak!
A small crack appeared on the ceiling.
It expanded rapidly.
Then, the hall collapsed.
The cage …
