After the giant arm tore the void apart, a monster with limbs and a pair of glowing eyes crawled out from the void.
The glowing eyes were filled with fangs, spinning non-stop, as if it wanted to mince anything that entered its mouth.
Creature of Desire!
The moment the Creature of Desire appeared, everyone who saw it cried out in shock.
Anyone who saw the Beast of Desire for the first time would be shocked by its appearance. Needless to say, after several upgrades, the Beast of Desire had grown to a diameter of 5,000 meters.
Standing on the ground and looking up, the Creature of Desire looked like it was about to be devoured by the monster.
"W-What kind of monster is that meow?"
Kat Lady stuttered uncontrollably.
Drexton and Herzker were on high alert.
Drexton's face was filled with worry.
Was Alkender City really that plagued with calamities?
Knight and Weapon Master, on the other hand, were recalling the legacy. In the end, both of them shook their heads, getting nothing.
"Look!"
Willis suddenly said.
A scarlet figure jumped out of Calamity Dragon's body and landed on the [Creature of Desire]'s body.
The ferocious and terrifying Creature of Desire didn't resist at all.
It even waved its giant arms like a pet acting coquettishly.
Everyone who saw the scene was stunned.
Especially Cymilaide.
"T-This …"
"Am I seeing things?"
This monster looks like 2567's pet? "
The investigator from the House of Commons was dumbstruck.
In fact, not only Cymilaide, everyone else felt the same.
Even Calamity Dragon, which was on the verge of self-destructing, felt the same.
It widened its one undamaged eye at the Creature of Desire. Although the Creature of Desire wasn't as big as itself, the sense of danger grew stronger.
It felt like Kieran had predicted its next move again.
No!
Impossible!
How?
The moment the thought popped up, Calamity Dragon shook its head and tossed it out of its mind.
It had nowhere else to go.
Self-destructing was irreversible!
It was useless to think about all these now!
"I will make you and this city die with me!"
The Calamity Dragon roared angrily, staking it all on one throw.
Devil Kieran raised his hand to touch the Creature of Desire.
He couldn't figure out where the head of the Creature of Desire was, so he could only assume that the area around the Core Eye was the head of the Creature of Desire. When the lava palm touched the Creature of Desire, Kieran immediately felt a sense of intimacy.
Ever since he consumed [Aimida Flower], the Creature of Desire was tame to Kieran.
But …
The ability to devour equipment and items was still the same.
Therefore, most of the time, Kieran couldn't summon the Creature of Desire.
Unless it was absolutely necessary.
For example, at this moment.
Facing the self-destructing Dragon of Calamity!
Sensing the rapid changes in Calamity Dragon's body, Kieran knew what he should do.
Even though his heart ached.
However, heartache was still better than death!
Kieran was well aware of this.
A thought came into his mind.
The Creature of Desire stood up, facing Calamity Dragon face to face. Its core eye was the first to light up, followed by the main eye, secondary eye, and derivative eye.
When all the eyes lit up, thousands of burning rays were fired out in unison.
The night sky was lit up at that moment.
Calamity Dragon, who was bombarded by the rays, was instantly blasted open.
Especially the damaged and ripe eye, it was heavily targeted by the core eye of the Creature of Desire. Even though Calamity Dragon mustered more blood, flesh, and bones to block the attack, it still cried out in pain.
Creature of Desire was one of Kieran's trump cards. Unlike the buffs and changes that came with Devil Transformation, Creature of Desire only had one specialty: a high number of attacks!
Using quantity to achieve qualitative change!
When Creature of Desire was still at Low Rank, it could achieve unexpected results.
When it reached level IV, the Beast of Desire became even stronger.
[Creature of Desire IV!]
[Name: Creature of Desire IV]
[Type: Summon]
[Rarity: Special]
[Attribute: 1. Desire Dominance IV; 2. Thousand Evil Eye Strike IV]
[Effect: Devour]
[Prerequisite: Fusion Heart]
[Remark: The shards of Eye of Chimeras fused with your flesh, blood, and desire to form a monster. After feeding Aimida Flower, it has acknowledged and obeyed you, but its power and wickedness are still not tolerated by the world!]
…
[Desire Dominance IV: Before Creature of Desire, the most desired side of the enemy's heart will be exposed and magnified endlessly, becoming Creature of Desire's strongest weapon. When facing Creature of Desire, all enemies will have to go through the authentication of Lust, Greed, Gluttony, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, and Pride. Those who pass will be unharmed, those who fail will be punished according to the type of authentication.]
[Thousand Evil Eye Strike IV: Thousands of Evil Eyes have the ability to attack. Every burning ray they fire has an attack authentication. One of the core eyes has an attack authentication of rank IV and above. 10 of the main eyes have an attack authentication of rank III and above. 100 of the secondary eyes have an attack authentication of rank II and above. The rest of the derivative eyes have an attack authentication of Advanced Rank. You can order them to fire at once or individually. Once per day]
…
[Devour: The Beast of Desire will devour the enemies that it bewitches and kills, granting itself greater power.]
[Note: Due to the special devour ability, the enemies killed by Creature of Desire will not drop any equipment or items]
…
After seeing the eye-catching note, Kieran's heart twitched a few more times, but it didn't stop him from ordering Creature of Desire to do what it wanted to do next.
The Creature of Desire that was unleashing its scorching rays swiftly shortened the distance between it and Calamity Dragon.
"You monster! Get away from me!"
Calamity Dragon, whose head was bleeding, roared loudly, but it couldn't stop Creature of Desire from reaching out its giant arms, grabbing its head tightly and pasting it on its face.
Then …
Creature of Desire started to spin.
From slow to fast.
Within a breath's time, it brought up layers of illusions under people's gazes.
Calamity Dragon also started to spin along with Kieran.
Kieran sighed softly when he sensed Calamity Dragon's neck didn't move at all despite the spinning speed. He gave up on the last bit of luck that was born from greed.
Compared to getting nothing at all, feeding the beast of desire was acceptable.
However, the scene before Kieran's eyes told him that Calamity Dragon was much stronger than he imagined.
If he didn't trap Calamity Dragon in the void at the very beginning, the battle would be even more unpredictable. Unless he revealed his final trump card, he had no chance of winning.
But if he revealed his final trump card …
The moment the thought popped up in his mind, Kieran quickly discarded it.
It's not time!
It's not time yet!
Kieran quickly changed his mind, turning the thought that popped up in his mind into an order to Creature of Desire.
Immediately, the spinning Beast of Desire pushed the Dragon of Calamity towards the hole in the void.
Previously, Calamity Dragon struggled to return to the void cave. Due to its posture, it was extremely difficult. But now, with the help of the rotating force, everything became very simple. Like an electric screw twisting, Calamity Dragon's body began to shrink back into the void cave at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"NO!
NO! "
The Dragon of Calamity shouted.
This wasn't what it wanted!
It wanted to drag Kieran down with it!
But now, if it returned to the void hole, it would be dead!
It couldn't accept the fact!
However, its soul was heavily damaged and its body was riddled with holes. It wanted to struggle, but its struggle was futile, especially when the spinning force from Creature of Desire turned into a huge inertia, Calamity Dragon lost all hope.
All it could do was watch itself being pushed back into the void hole bit by bit.
The more despairing thing was, Kieran didn't give it the slightest bit of hope.
The moment Calamity Dragon was pushed back, Bloody Mary got the order and destroyed the descending formation. The void hole was shut right away.
"I want to curse …"
KABOOM!
Calamity Dragon's roar stopped abruptly as a faint explosion came from the void. Kieran could clearly see the cracks where the void hole used to be.
It was obvious that the self-destruction of the Calamity Dragon had almost torn the void apart.
But it was just 'almost'.
The sturdiness of the void crystal wall far exceeded anyone's imagination.
The words that popped up in his vision also exceeded Kieran's imagination.
[Authenticating player's behavior …]
[Authenticated player has indirectly killed a Near Ancient Species …]
[Special Dungeon Deterrence + 1]
[Acquired Special Title: Dragon Hunter (Near Ancient Species)]
[Dragon Hunter (Near Ancient Species): This is a special title. You will be welcomed or expelled in certain dungeon worlds; when facing Secondary, Hybrid, Sky Dragon, Great Dragon, or Near Ancient Species, you will gain + 1 attack authentication, once per day (Player can choose whether to activate)]
…
"Special title?"
Kieran was stunned, but before he could think, the words continued to pop up.
[Main mission completed in advance by killing Calamity Dragon!]
[Player will leave the dungeon in 3 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!)
…
The return time was much shorter than any other, but since Kieran had suffered a loss once, he was used to carrying everything with him. Even if he couldn't pick up his spoils of war at the first moment, he would arrange a backup plan.
Therefore, even if he returned right away, he wouldn't suffer any losses.
After waving at Drexton, Kieran vanished into thin air.

[Acquired Special Dungeon: Hero and Villain III]
…
A white light shone and Kieran returned to 13th Wallway Street.
Bloody Mary and Frost Wolf appeared in front of Kieran after they were summoned.
Bloody Mary was holding a dark golden book with a flattering smile. Frost Wolf, on the other hand, was holding a dark golden glowing bracelet in its mouth, wagging its tail ceaselessly.
Bloody Mary was from Printon City, the man named Luther.
Luther was the one who led Calamity Dragon's descent. He had no name.
Or rather, Kieran didn't know who he was.
These two items were Kieran's most important spoils of war other than leveling up [Fusion Heart].
The spoils of war this time around weren't that limited by the area.
Aside from the consumed [Dark Golden Stone], there were also [Imperfect Mordin Sculpture], [Moon Touch], [Exploding Stone], [Exorcist Arrow], and [Broken Io Mirror].
Among them, [Exorcist Arrow] had reached its limit and needed to be recharged.
[Broken Io Mirror] and [Dark Golden Stone] were converted into Kieran's energy.
The remaining three items, [Imperfect Mordin Sculpture], [Moon Touch], and [Exploding Stone], had their value but it wasn't practical to use them to increase his strength.
Therefore, Kieran placed more importance on the remaining two items.
Frost Wolf kept rubbing its legs, so Kieran picked up the bracelet first.
It was a bracelet made out of olive stones, but it was black in color and each of the stones was carved into the shape of a skull. There were a total of 12 of them and other than that, there weren't any other decorations.
[Name: Dark Soul Beads]
[Type: ETC]
[Rarity: Above I]
[Attack: None]
[Defense: Above I]
[Attribute: 1. Soul Keep; 2. Soul Gu Nurture]
[Effect: None]
[Prerequisite: Mystical Knowledge (Master), Spirit I]
[Able to bring out of dungeon: Yes]
[Remark: During the papal era of the Hero and Villain dungeon world, the heretic scholars were treated extremely unfairly. Their complete knowledge was scattered and lost, the remaining knowledge was kept by some people with ulterior motives and became a different kind of legacy. However, in order to use the legacy, one must have the corresponding knowledge and a strong will.]
…
[Soul Keep: Able to keep 1000 wandering souls, 100 evil spirits, 10 evil spirits; Current: 0]
[Soul Gu Nurture: Allows the stored wandering souls to kill and devour each other, small chance to give birth to evil spirits, very small chance to give birth to evil spirits.]
…
No doubt it was a very special item.
It didn't have any attack power but if used properly, it could achieve miraculous results.
Kieran commented on it objectively.
He then took the book from Bloody Mary.
It wasn't a skill book.
It was an item room.
[Name: Curse Book]
[Type: ETC]
[Rarity: II]
[Attack: None]
[Defense: II]
[Attribute: You need to read to discover the secrets within.]
[Effect: None]
[Prerequisite: Mystical Knowledge (Grand Master), Spirit II]
[Able to bring out of dungeon: Yes]
[Remark: As the legacy left behind by the heretic scholars, the Curse Book is more extreme. Only by reading it can you truly understand it.]
…
Kieran frowned when he saw the requirements of the Curse Book.
He had no problems with the Spirit attribute but Grand Master [Mystical Knowledge] wasn't that easy.
Since Kieran had studied Mystical Knowledge before, he knew it would consume a lot of time.
Was a rank II [Book of Curse] really worth his time?
Kieran asked himself.
Right at that moment, his PM tab pinged.
