The Mist’s blessing mingled among these glows.
Kane and the others clearly felt their strength increasing, along with the information infused in their minds by the Mist, indicating they could exit the Dungeon at any mont.
With the Mist’s blessing, Kane and the others’ state was restored to the best condition. Their consud Magic Power, Physical Strength, and Spirit, as well as their wounds, were completely healed.
They were now in their best condition.
Kane summoned the Book of Adventure
and turned to the page of Origin Skills to look at his Energy Bar.
[Silver 12%]
This clearance of the Dungeon brought him a 12% energy increase, allowing him to feel the increase in both his inner magic and various physical attributes.
The glows cast on ordinary soldiers didn’t seem to be the Mist’s work but rather so inherent chanism of the Dungeon, an event from the line of history in which humans triumphed.
Far away, over a hundred kiloters in the Demon Camp.
At this mont, the Demon Camp only had a few scattered demons, and a jet-black floating platform in the air above it.
The Demon Commander Bartos remained leisurely reclining on his throne, indifferent to his defeat, as it wasn’t his first ti.
Whether victory or defeat, he was tired of them both and just wanted to lie there quietly.
He suddenly opened his eyes, looking in the direction of the Volcano Fortress.
"Why co out at this ti? Are you courting death? What a fool," he muttered, seemingly realizing sothing.
anwhile, in the direction of the Volcano Fortress.
All soldiers on the city wall were cheering exuberantly, as they had triumphed and successfully repelled the demons, securing their final line of defense.
The number of demons was greatly reduced, and now it was ti for their counterattack.
Kane and the others bypassed the saluting and cheering soldiers and headed towards the fortress gate.
Because, after clearing this Dungeon, there seed to be a hidden reward.
Di Belior had just promised, hoping Kane and the others could enter the Volcano Fortress’s treasure vault and each select a piece of suitable equipnt.
These pieces of equipnt were treasures crafted by countless artisans and used by the heroes who once sealed the Demon Commander.
It’s the only way he could repay Kane and the others.
Suddenly, the cheering soldiers and Kane felt the earth shaking violently beneath them.
Many soldiers were thrown to the ground by the tremors.
All soldiers looked around in panic and confusion.
Just after defeating the demons, they hadn’t had ti to celebrate, and now were they going to fall into another crisis?
Many soldiers’ hearts sank.
Kane opened Eagle Eye, surveying the surroundings, trying to find the cause of the earth’s tremor.
A black and crimson aura surged from the ground, and in the direction of the volcano’s mouth, this dense aura rose skyward like smoke.
The packed sealing runes at their feet appeared, as if the demon inside was attempting to break free and rush out of the ground.
The force of breaking the seal caused the entire ground to tremble.
Di Berrio and many commanders’ faces changed drastically, as they seed to already know what event this situation heralded.
"Alert! The Demon Commander is about to break the seal and co out. All soldiers, grab your weapons, and quickly load the crossbows and trebuchets."
As Di Berrio commanded, the surrounding commanders began heading to their posts, bringing their soldiers into a state of alert.
All the soldiers who had survived were in full health with all their injuries and Physical and Spirit fully restored by the recent glow.
The earth’s tremor grew more intense.
Finally, a section of the volcano shattered into a gap.
A muscular and gigantic arm reached out from the gap, its sharp and grotesque hooked claw gripping the mountainside, straining to pull the body below out.
Countless pieces of rubble rolled down from above.
The sealing web-like Energy Bar was fully revealed, which not just Kane, but all soldiers could see with their naked eye.
The web of energy, stitched densely with runes, firmly trapped the Demon Commander.
The Demon Commander and the seal pulled at each other wildly.
"Bang!"
With a sound like a wire snapping.
The Demon Commander broke free from the seal and soared into the sky.
But its situation was dire, its hovering figure skewed, with large, tattered bat wings.
Its two black horns were damaged; one was broken in half, and the other completely gone. A segnt of its arm was missing, along with part of the shoulder.
Crimson, robust skin was covered with dense scars, with crimson lines flickering in and out, as if they could extinguish at any mont.
In Kane’s eyes, the demon’s Magic Power reaction resembled a flickering fla about to go out, appearing as a passive golden hue, teetering on collapse.
It looked on the brink of death from every viewpoint.
"Hahaha, these damn demons are dead, and I’ve broken free of the seal, now I am truly free."
The Demon Commander hovered in the sky, unrestrainedly venting his joy, ignoring the humans below.
"Fire!"
Di Berrio wasted no ti allowing the demon to recover, directly issuing the command, sending countless crossbow bolts and arrows shooting toward the demon in the sky.
Amidst his victory joy, the Demon Commander glanced down at them, then casually swung his remaining arm, a powerful wind pressure sweeping the crossbow bolts and arrows away.
The joy of victory had completely vanished from the soldiers’ hearts, replaced by a vast despair; their attacks were utterly ineffective against this demon.
They no longer knew how to deal with this demon.
"Oh! I almost forgot about you petty ants, my many years of sealing had clouded my thoughts a bit, no rush, I’ll crush you all now."
Gazing at the humans below, the Demon Commander taunted with sarcasm.
Having beco a commander, he was no fool, easily sensing the condition of the ground.
With the demons nearly wiped out, the humans were certainly heavily impacted, at least a pyrrhic victory.
Although breaking the seal slightly weakened his strength and state, nowhere near his peak powers.
But the remaining scattered soldiers were no match.
Laughing, a jet-black energy sphere appeared in his hand, and he swooped towards the humans, flapping his wings.
The soldiers’ eyes were filled with the glow of that energy sphere.
