BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOOOMMM!!!
Countless explosions emerged across the skies as Allan furiously began defeating dozens if not hundreds of monsters at once! Monsters began falling like charred corpses into the floor, although those that were weak enough ended turning into ashes in an instant. However, more and more poured from the holes in the sky, as if more Dungeon Breaks emerged just to deal with him.
"God of Dungeons, I know you're here!"
Allan furiously roared, as his enormous sword unleashed a tempest of flames which quickly sliced into pieces space itself. The seven Dungeon Break portals broke apart and dissipated in an instant. Allan had already learned the power to slice through dimensions, and now with the help of Ifrit's enormous divine power, he was already surpassing such limits and mastering that power!
From the distance, a group of people covered on black robes and wearing masks hid within a special invisible space, while controlling things through a special blue and red-colored jewel which was constantly absorbing and repurposing the souls of the defeated monsters, fueling the Miasmic Domain even more.
"The powers of the God of Dungeons are manifesting just as the Abyssal Eyes said!"
"He truly wants to destroy that hero!"
"But he's incredibly powerful… He's slaying all those high tier monsters like nothing."
"Hmph, but he's over exceeding himself. Can't you notice how he's overusing his powers? Even heroes have limits, and he's slowly reaching it."
"He's destroying his own body, such a pitiful sight…"
"Good, keep pouring more Miasma into the crystals, we want as many monsters as possible to tire him out! We might not be able to defeat him at 100%, but if we tire him out until he almost dies of exhaustion, then with the power of our God, it won't be hard to kill a hero!"
The members hiding within this space laughed as they continued pouring black crystals into a special magic container right below the larger blue and red crystals, which began to absorb these black crystals, Demonite of high quality, and used their power to fuel the Miasmic Domain with more power.
"I am honestly amused you were able to do something like this below our noses. I suppose we are getting rusty."
"Yeah, it was something quite hard to pull out but with the help of special stealth items blessed by the God of the Abyss it was- Eh?"
Suddenly, the cultists realized a voice they didn't recognized spoke.
A man wearing black robes and covering half his face, from his nose to his neck appeared. His blue eyes quickly turning deep red, like blood itself. His eyebrows furrowed furiously as he glared at them, the sudden sense of certain death quickly took over their minds and spirits.
"H-Hero?!"
"How did he got here?!"
"He sneaked into this pocket dimension made by the magic item?!"
"Thanks to your god I have learned the ability to cut through dimensions, it wasn't so hard." The man said, of course, he was Shade. "Now, let me sabotage this for you."
FLASH!
His movements were too swift, before anybody could use any strange artifact, countless undead emerged out of the shadows of these people. These were spirits of death summoned by Shade's Reaper, the powerful King of Darkness and Death which had made a contract with him on his younger years!
"Uuuaagghh!"
"Help!"
"T-This is?!"
"Gyaaahhh!"
"Don't kill them, just knock them off for now." Said Shade.
"Hmph, why wouldn't I kill them? Their hearts are as black as charcoal!" Said the Reaper, his skull face seemed to shape its eye sockets as if it were angry.
"…Do as I say." Shade said.
"Hmph…" The Reaper didn't refuted the orders of his master, as he quickly knocked out the people and sent them to a pocket dimension named Shadow Realm, where their minds would be tortured for a few minutes, a place where nobody could walk outside unless the Reaper decided.
"And this… HAAH!"
CLAASH!
Shade used his two daggers, quickly slicing and completely destroying the two enormous crystals in front of him, as they shattered into pieces and crumbled into the ground. The pocket dimension quickly disappeared as he found himself back in the Miasmic Domain.
"One down, three more left…" He said.
Shade immediately stored the shattered crystals for later research, as he suddenly saw a dozen monsters emerge from three Dungeon Break Portals that appeared right above him.
Three Headed Black Lions, Black Flame Crows, Mithril Turtles, and other beasts all above Tier 6 flew towards him, with the intention of crushing him.
However, his face remained emotionless and completely calm. His hands moved at an incredible, sonic speed, as shadows were left behind the air where his two daggers slashed through.
"Abyssal Dagger Arts: Endless Cuts."
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
In a single second, an immense quantity of slicing attacks reached all monsters reaching him. The attacks were so fast the monsters themselves, for a few seconds, believed nothing had truly happened to them, only to be incredibly shocked as their entire bodies began to bleed from everywhere, and then, they found themselves reduced to tiny pieces falling from the sky.
"Hmph, some survived that." Shade noticed Tier 7 monsters who somehow tanked such a powerful attack, although their bodies were shrouded with cuts and bleeding intensively.
"ORRAAAAH!"
CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!
However, a furious and beautiful amazoness emerged from within the skies, jumping over the heads of the beasts and absolutely crushing their skulls with an enormous stone hammer which held the power of gravity itself, enhancing its own weight several hundreds of times.
It was Nepheline, who quickly came to the rescue. The monster she slain quickly fell into the ground one after the other, filling the paved floors with blood and guts.
Shade smiled back at his wife.
"Thanks. It seems the Hydra was taken care of?" He wondered.
"Yeah, barely. I managed to get inside and crushed its core." Said Nepheline. "I can smell another of these pillars around a hundred meters from here, let's go!"
"Very well."
