[153] Subjugating the Demi-Spirit!

"Rise, rise, rise. Husk of the earth. Sheen of iron. Hammer of the cosmos. May genesis's pact upheave rock and stone. The sky shall burn. The earth shall split. The bridge shall rise. Heaven and earth shall become one. May the axes of the ether rain down and bring about calamity's ruin!"

"Getsuga Tenshou!"

The pitch-black crescent blade soared through the air.

This time, the Corrupted Spirit didn't protect herself but summoned a large number of man-eating flowers to stand in front of her.

The Getsuga Tenshou directly killed a large number of man-eating flowers. However, due to the accumulation of numbers, it prematurely detonated the Getsuga Tenshou.

"Your envoy beseeches you, Gnome. Incarnate of the land. Queen of the earth!"

The chanting continued and was nearing its end.

"Hadō #90. Kurohitsugi!"

The Corrupted Spirit's chanting was almost complete, but August's voice intervened.

The next moment, a giant black cube engulfed the massive Corrupted Spirit.

This scene left Riveria in disbelief because the magic gave her a powerful feeling. These black barriers were the condensed form of magic, and she wondered how much magical power it consumed.

Swish~ Swish~ Swish~

"Ah~!!!"

The sound of cutting through flesh, the wailing of the Corrupted Spirit, echoed throughout the 59th floor.

When the black coffin dispersed, the Corrupted Spirit, covered in various wounds, appeared in front of everyone. Not only had she suffered severe injuries, but her chanting had also been interrupted.

Rumble~

At this moment, the ground once again tore open, and a large number of insects crawled out.

"Want to protect her? Unfortunately, it's a bit too late."

August didn't bother with idle talk. He released a dense fog from his hands, covering both the Corrupted Spirit and the surrounding area.

Then Finn witnessed a surprisingly astonishing scene. All the insects were quickly devoured by the dense mist.

But the subsequent wave of insects followed suit.

Although these insects were numerous and highly corrosive, in the face of the mist, they seemed to have encountered their nemesis.

As long as the mist existed, these insects had no chance of winning, the more that crawled out, the more that died.

At this point, August took out his second Zanpakuto, wielding both blades with Armament Haki covering them, turning them into black swords.

Blink!

In an instant, August appeared directly above the Corrupted Spirit.

"Die!"

Power of Darkness! Power of Shadows! Haki!

All three forces were combined on his two Zanpakuto. Though it wasn't a complete solution, it was more than enough at this moment.

Splurt~

With the left hand holding a blade, the first strike directly severed the Corrupted Spirit's head.

"Getsuga Tenshou!!"

The second strike from the right hand, descending from above, the black crescent blade cut the Corrupted Spirit in half.

Rumble~ Rumble~

The earth trembled, and for a moment, all the insects stopped moving, then collapsed and turned into a pile of magic stones.

"Is it over? Did August subjugate that monster?"

Everyone looked towards the battlefield. When the swirling dust settled, August, wielding dual blades, appeared in front of everyone.

The 59th floor of the dungeon was officially conquered at this moment, and the monster leader was subjugated by August.

A new epic was written at this moment. The names of everyone present would be recorded in the hall of fame, like a history book, leaving a significant mark in history.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations, host, for completing the mission 'Creating a New Legend: Reach Dungeon 59th floor and defeat the Demi-Spirit.' Completion Reward: Advanced Gacha Draw *5]

With five Advanced Draws in hand, a smile appeared on August's face.

Not only did he complete the mission, but devouring so many magic stones and insects with abundant magical power finally allowed the inner world inside August to experience its first growth.

Originally, it had only about 100m³ of space, but it suddenly expanded to nearly ten times that, reaching a radius of 1000m³.

Moreover, August believed that after this return, he could definitely upgrade to level 5.

Although August spent only a short time in the dungeon over the past month, it didn't mean his growth had halted. This expedition undoubtedly provided him with the ability to break the 999 limit once again.

Besides, accomplishments were something August didn't lack. Not to mention other things, the dragon monsters on the 58th floor, the enhanced Red Dragon King, plus this Corrupted Spirit, did August lack feats?

He had already lost count, not to mention going too far. At least until level 7, August wouldn't have any feat problems.

At this moment, Finn and the others also ran over.

"Congratulations, you've created your own legend."

"It's nothing."

"Don't act like that."

This time, August became the target of everyone's 'subjugation.' Regardless of gender, except for Riveria, Gareth, and Finn, the other members all rushed over and surrounded August.

Watching this scene, Finn and the others exchanged glances and all smiled.

At the same time, in the guild's underground altar, through the crystal ball, Ouranos and Sage Fels also witnessed everything.

"It's unbelievable. He actually subjugated the Corrupted Spirit."

Fels originally thought that under the law of causality, it would be the Sword Princess Ais who would end all of this, but he didn't expect it to be August.

"Fels, this child has the potential of an hero."

"The potential of an hero?"

"Yes, even without the falna from gods, he can grow into a powerful existence through his own efforts."

"An hero, huh."

Compared to the others in Orario, Fels had some special expectations for heroes.

Fels, once brought his 'mystery' to the extreme. Legend has it that he was the only sage who created the 'Philosopher's Stone.' Although the 'Philosopher's Stone' was shattered by his former god, the dissatisfied Fels didn't give up. Instead, he developed another kind of immortality secret art.

However, the side effects were quite terrifying.

Although he obtained immortality, he turned into an undead skeleton, becoming a monster.

As an ancient being from 800 years ago, heroes were no longer legends but rather the expectations he longed for.

A long time ago, Fels believed that the monsters that had been rampant for a thousand years were finally over when Zeus and Hera's Familias hunted down the three major boss-level monsters.

But the fact proved that to subjugate monsters of this level, the appearance of a hero was necessary.

Completing the impossible miracle with a weak body, that was the essence of a hero.

Therefore, he hoped for the appearance of a hero. Now, the last monster from three great quest still existed in this world. Although it had not appeared so far, he believed that one day, the One Eyed Black Dragon would return.
