Renee’s arrow that pierced the dark Valkyrie’s head consumed 20 points of divine power.
The scene froze.
The battle seemed to end.
Richard wondered why he didn’t hear the system notification.
‘Crack!’
A crisp sound came from the distance.
The dark valkyrie’s black armor shattered like glass.
At the same time, the arrow that had pierced through its head also disappeared.
The next second.
A set of black and gold armor appeared before it.
The dark valkyrie’s solidified life force erupted as a volcano suppressed for countless years.
Its pale golden eyes turned pure gold.
Dozens of curved blade glints suddenly appeared beside it.
The surrounding void constantly collapsed and reformed under the pressure of the saber radiance.
Richard was stunned.
He opened his opponent’s attribute panel. And a shocking status appeared on it.
[Dark Valkyrie]
[Level: 18 (temporary)]
[Potential: Beyond A-rank (temporary)]
The explosion overpowered this boss!
Three levels increased, and its potential rose from A-rank to Beyond A-rank!
Richard’s scalp went numb.
Was this the strength of the hidden boss?
If he didn’t have a divine soul, he wouldn’t be able to play with it!
Was the system not planning to let anyone kill this boss?
At this moment, Renee suddenly appeared beside the dark valkyrie. It felt the terrifying aura of the dark valkyrie.
With a long sword in hand, it charged forward!
If it could kill his opponent once, it could also kill the second time!
The tricked dark valkyrie had its eyes filled with dazzling golden light.
It waved the saber in its hand and charged forward.
‘Clang!’
The two sides collided again like meteors.
The surrounding space instantly blurred and collapsed.
The dark valkyrie displayed unparalleled battle power after the seed explosion.
Its potential temporarily raised Beyond A-rank. And its level was four levels higher than Renee’s!
The situation where Renee could suppress its opponent with its control of space no longer occurred.
Every time the dark valkyrie swung its blade, the space around would collapse.
The scene looked enormously visually impactful.
Richard couldn’t imagine how many troops he needed to take down a boss like this.
At the back, Gunter, who was only level 10, could no longer interfere.
The difference of 8 levels was enough to pull everything apart.
Xina, who had recovered a little, was not afraid at all.
This pure warrior would never fear any enemy, no matter how strong they were!
However, she was only level 13, and there was no point in going up.
She wasn’t weak, but her opponent was even mightier. It had already exceeded the limits of what she could handle.
Richard’s breathing slowed.
It was the most arduous battle he had ever encountered.
Even when the kobold god had attacked Twilight City, he had not felt so difficult.
Although this battle wouldn’t decide anything, it would resurrect death outside the arena.
However, he couldn’t give up. He had the capital to win!
The level 14 divine soul versus the level 18 hidden boss, the dark valkyrie.
Renee’s soul constantly changed as it controlled space, and its powerful divine spells could often be fatal.
The dark valkyrie used force to break through techniques, and the blade light could cut through everything.
The opponent’s saber flare could shatter any energy attack.
A pin against an awn.
The battle between the two sides became enormously exaggerated.
The sky arena rules seemed weaker than those of the central plane. When the two sides collided, space twisted and crumbled like it had become a norm.
Ten minutes after the seed explosion.
‘Destruction!”
The dark valkyrie’s blade light once again cut through the world.
The blade that killed Alves in a second reappeared.
‘Crack!’
Renee couldn’t avoid it, and its body shattered.
But in an instant, it returned to its original appearance.
Four divine soul points could resurrect Renee four times.
After it woke up, the ancient god statue also had a new attribute–it could resurrect Renee three times a day.
It had seven lives in this battle!
Without any worries, the divine soul attack became increasingly ferocious.
After the seed explosion, the dark valkyrie raced against time to win the battle before its strength fell back.
The dual battle was crazy!
Renee used Death Hunt three more times after it consumed 20 points of divine power.
It would pierce through the dark valkyrie’s head every time, but it would return to normal in the blink of an eye.
In the unique state of seed explosion, its vitality was particularly terrifying.
Renee also suffered from the dark valkyrie’s all-destroying sword strike.
After the fourth resurrection, it had starkly consumed the divinity that could only recover one point every week.
The next time it died, its resurrection would be in an ancient god statue.
There were three more chances.
It had been half an hour since the dark valkyrie’s seed explosion.
To Richard, however, it felt like half a month had passed.
Just as Renee was about to launch another attack…
The dark valkyrie’s almost infinite aura suddenly enfeebled like a candle in the wind.
Its burning golden eyes had also become enormously dim at this moment. It was like any moment would extinguish them.
Richard opened his attribute panel.
The dark valkyrie’s level had returned to level 15, and its potential had returned to A-rank.
It was time.
In this brutal battle, the dark valkyrie loses by one move.
Renee noticed this and drew its bow for the fifth time.
Twenty points of divine power disappeared.
The death god arrow pierced through the void.
It pierced through the head!
This time, the dark valkyrie didn’t have a second seed explosion.
The other party’s life force suddenly dropped to the extreme.
The figure that hung high in the sky fell to the ground with a plop. It fell into a deep coma.
It set the situation.
Twilight City troops finally won.
Renee’s figure suddenly appeared in front of the dark valkyrie.
It raised its elven sword high, ready to end this enormously soul-strapping opponent in the next moment.
Richard shouted as if he’d just remembered something.
“Stop!”
‘Hu!’
The sharp longsword stopped at the dark valkyrie’s forehead.
Renee retracted its sword without hesitation.
Richard activated its Leaping Boots boots and appeared beside the dark valkyrie.
He immediately heaved a sigh of relief in this scene.
When the divine soul saw him, it knelt on one knee with its illusory body.
With its right hand on its chest, it said in the most humble tone.
“My Lord, your humble servant sends you its most noble greetings.”
As the master of the statue, the soul bound was ultimately under his control.
He could even erase it with a thought as he wished.
Richard nodded, satisfied.
“Get up. You’ve done well.”
This top-notch existence he had spent so many resources to nurture did not disappoint him in the end.
Then, he looked at the dark valkyrie lying on the ground.
The majestic golden and black armor that had just appeared had now returned to black.
It seemed armor appeared under certain circumstances.
The opponents’ life force was still stable. But it had already become enormously weak. If he didn’t take any measures, it wouldn’t be long before he met the god of death.
Xina and Gunter had also come to his side.
They all had mixed feelings as they looked at the dark valkyrie on the verge of death.
It was rare to see such a powerful enemy.
Unfortunately, they could not defeat the other party yet.
A strong fighting spirit rose in Xina’s eyes.
The descendant of the Krina tribe was no weaker than anyone else. She would become sturdier than the others!
She swore!
“Lord Richard, how do you plan to deal with it?”
Richard’s face broke into a bright smile at Xina’s question.
He took out a scroll that emitted a dark aura from the system space.
[Dark Contract]
[Level: 4-stars]
[Special Property: After defeating an enemy, you can force a contract with the other party and enslave their soul, making them obey orders for eternity.]
It was a top-tier treasure he had obtained from the treasure vault of the Scarlet Council in the previous dungeon.
He initially planned to use it on the god’s ancient tree, but he had not expected it to choose to submit directly, so he saved this treasure.
But now, an A-rank boss could reach a terrifying level of 18 after its seed exploded.
Wasn’t that the best contract partner?
While Richard pondered at the dark valkyrie lying on the ground, the smile on his face became increasingly brilliant.
So what if he won first place in the death arena fighting ring, obtained the title of King of Gladiator, and other rewards? How could they compare to a living level-15 boss?
It was a battle unit of equal value to the god’s ancient tree.
Dark valkyrie’s battle strength could even suppress everyone else after its seed exploded.
It had killed Alves in one strike and suppressed Beyond A-rank Xina… It quickly slaughtered three squadrons of soldiers.
If it wasn’t for the unique nature of the divine soul, which gave Renee an insane ability to resurrect…
It would be difficult to take down the other party in this battle.
Nothing could measure such an existence.
At this moment, he only had one thought.
‘This wave, I had bloodily profited!’
