The Crimson Hound roared as it soared through the sky, its blood-soaked body cutting through the air like a bullet.
Lord Varos, unfazed, raised both arms high.
A wave of thick, greenish-black necrotic energy exploded out from him, sweeping across the battlefield and rotting everything in its path.
But the Hound didn't slow down.
Its wings flared out wider, accelerating instead of retreating.
The necrotic blast ate away at parts of its body, lting blood and flesh, but it didn't matter...
The blood simply regenerated.
New tendrils of red wrapped over the decayed areas, like the beast was made of endless living liquid.
Adam stood far behind, watching closely.
The Crimson Hound drew closer.
Lord Varos narrowed his eyes.
His skeletal fra radiated power, and in a sudden motion, his massive arm shot forward.
He caught the Hound by the neck mid-air.
The entire battlefield seed to pause.
It seems like Lord Varos' strength stat wasn't low either...
A low growl rumbled from the Hound's throat.
Instead of struggling, its form suddenly changed.
Bursting apart into dozens of thick, red chains.
They shot in every direction, wrapping around Lord Varos's arms, legs, and torso like living snakes.
The blood hound wasn't trying to damage or attack Lord Varos, it was trying to restrain it from the start!
The chains tightened, growing darker and thicker by the second.
The blood hardened into tal-like bonds, locking the Bone Tyrant in place.
Lord Varos tried to tear through them, but they pulsed and reford with every movent he made.
Then, even more bindings followed.
Thin white threads ca from above, wrapping tightly around Lord Varos's shoulders and legs.
These weren't normal strings, they shimred, reinforced with sealing magic.
At the sa ti, glowing blue runes lit up beneath his feet, forming a magic circle around his body.
Pillars of earth rose from the ground, stacking themselves around him like a prison of stone.
Adam turned his head slightly and saw several Stream Hunter mages from the Orc Faction holding their staffs in the air, chanting furiously.
They had been waiting for the perfect ti to activate their restraining abilities just like how it was discussed!
In the original plan, Adam thought about using [Body Blood Magic] to form chains around Lord Varos. But with the Blood Hound present, things were a lot easier than expected!
Without wasting ti, Adam raised his hand and activated [Surreal Creation].
Above the battlefield, a massive glowing sign appeared in the sky, written in bright red text: "NOW!"
It was the signal for the Stream Hunters to indicate that they could activate their holy-powered attacks!
Adam wanted to be creative at first, like perhaps use a certain symbol as the signal, but he thought that it would be too inefficient rather than the word "now"...

[5th Style Sword Master] I have an ability that can help the mind function at 200%!
[Prankster of Kingdoms says that'll just make the Strear rewrite the "NOW!" signal to "GO!" signal]
Several Stream Hunters nearby jumped at the sight of the signal.
"That's the signal!"
Soone shouted.
"Holy barrage, now!"
One by one, holy-powered projectiles began to rain down from all sides.
Spears of light, glowing swords, magic bullets...
Dozens of different attacks, all charged with sacred energy, launched toward the restrained Lord Varos.
Adam watched as the glowing sky lit up with holy brilliance.
For a second, it almost looked like they had summoned the heavens themselves.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Explosions echoed across the battlefield as each holy attack landed.
The ground shook, and light blasted outward, swallowing everything in a giant blinding cloud.
So of the Stream Hunters started cheering.
"Did it work?"
The smoke began to clear.
But instead of finding a broken corpse, they saw sothing horrifying.
Lord Varos was still standing... untouched!
The chains around him were smoking.
But the Bone Tyrant himself stood tall in the middle of it all, his skeletal figure glowing with divine light.
The undead boss slowly raised a hand...
And absorbed the remaining holy energy around him.
Like water flowing into a sponge, the light bent inward, vanishing into his body.
'As I thought, he really is a monster attuned to holy power...'
Adam thought. He already knew that Lord Varos used to be a well-respected holy-magic user when he was human.
The battlefield went silent for a mont.
"What just happened?"
Soone muttered.
"Wasn't that holy magic?"
"How did he…?"
A notification suddenly popped up in front of Adam.
[Floor 2 Boss Authority has activated.]
[Authority: Corrupt Divinity]
[The dark side of a righteous power has revealed itself.]
The ground beneath them rumbled again.
All across the battlefield, corpses began to rise... but they weren't like normal undead.
Their bodies shimred with holy power.
These weren't monsters of death.
They were twisted parodies of saints and knights, glowing with false righteousness!
This was the second floor's authority.
The corruption that stemd from good!
"Holy undead…"
Soone whispered in fear.
From the ground, these corrupted warriors erged... wielding weapons of light, but serving darkness.
Panic spread among the Stream Hunters.
The Orc Faction mbers were backing away, unsure of how to fight sothing that looked so… pure, yet felt so wrong.
Adam didn't flinch.
He reached into his inventory and pulled out an old, rotten skull.
It was wrapped in ancient symbols and covered in dried gold paint. Its eye sockets glowed faintly with soft white light.
[Item: Head of an Ancient Priest]
[Description: A sacred artifact holding a massive amount of sealed holy power. Upon activation, it will unleash a divine explosion with a 500-ter radius. Anything impure caught within its radius will be purged.]
Adam held the artifact in both hands.
'I wonder if the holy power inside this thing has a higher tier than Lord Varos...'
Adam secretly thought.
He whispered the activation phrase that had appeared in the system tooltip.
"By forgotten rites and sealed breath,
Release what sleeps beneath the flesh..."
The skull glowed bright...
Then exploded!
A wave of pure white light burst out, swallowing the entire battlefield.
The corrupted holy undead didn't even have ti to scream.
Their bodies shattered into dust, purified in an instant.
Even the regular undead evaporated where they stood.
The light was blinding.
Anyone who tried to look at it turned away imdiately, covering their eyes.
Adam stood at the edge of the blast radius, his cloak flapping wildly from the force of the wave.
He squinted into the glow.
In the center of it all… Lord Varos fell.
His body hit the ground with a heavy thud.
The chains were burned away.
His robe was gone.
Even parts of his skeletal form were cracked and crumbling.
The giant undead tyrant wasn't moving.
But he wasn't dead either.
As the blinding holy light faded, Lord Varos's body twitched.
His bones cracked and shifted as they began to pull themselves back together.
A dim green glow wrapped around his chest, starting to rebuild what had been broken.
Adam narrowed his eyes and glanced at his system notifications.

[JustJoeKing] : With my richness, I was gonna donate a holy-powered nuke, but figured this was enough. No need to thank ! Just kidding— thank .
Adam blinked. He stared at the row of glowing grenades lined up neatly in his inventory.
His mouth twitched.
"…Thank you."
He muttered, trying to force a smile for the chat.
It ca out more awkward than he intended....
But to the viewers watching the stream, it didn't look awkward....
It looked terrifying!

Adam's smile quickly vanished.
"…I was just trying to say thanks"
He muttered under his breath, rubbing his forehead.
His face turned slightly red in embarrassnt.
He wasn't even doing anything sinister...
He glanced back towards the Floor Boss.
Lord Varos was still trying to regenerate.
Bones popped back into place. Cracks were healing.
His corrupted holy aura was flickering back to life.
Adam's eyes locked onto him.
He grabbed the four Holy Grenades from his inventory.
Each one was small, about the size of a palm-sized orb, glowing faintly with pure white light.
He didn't hesitate.
One. Two. Three. Four.
Adam threw them all at once toward the fallen tyrant.
The mont they landed—
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Silence.
And then, a system notification ca through.
[You have defeated the Floor 2 Boss.]
[The Bone Tyrant, Lord Varos has been slain.]
