Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 600 - 591: The Immortal Black Monarch

"Bang! Bang!"

Two loud cannon shots rang out, and with the sound, two slender cannonballs shot out.

The two giant cannons crafted by Kane emitted a light smoke from their barrels, and the ground beneath them had already sunk, unable to withstand the massive recoil.

And the power of these shells did not disappoint Kane. These two shells were not about enhanced explosions.

Their structure was constructed for extreme penetration.

The massive impact hit the skulls of the two giant skeletons.

With two loud bangs, the two skeletons were knocked directly to the ground by the immense impact.

When the smoke from the explosion cleared, the skulls of the two giant skeletons had shattered significantly.

Only half of the skull remained connected to the cervical vertebrae.

But even so, these two gigantic skeletons did not die and moved in an unusually slow manner as they tried to get up.

Kane's Eagle Eye revealed that the energy within the two skeletons was greatly damaged, now considerably weaker than before.

Even if they got up, they wouldn't be able to withstand much of an attack, but they continued to persistently crawl.

Still thinking about chopping them down as they approached the gate.

At this moment, taking advantage of the two skeletons still struggling to get up, the resistance fighters and the Moon's Child surrounded them to attack.

Although their strength might not be able to inflict significant damage on the skeleton giants, the sheer numbers and the fact that the skeleton giants could not resist gave them an advantage.

Cracks and deep pits appeared in the bones on their bodies, some bones directly breaking.

Seeing that the two skeletons might be eliminated before they even managed to stand up.

A loud sound came from the massive white bone stone gate in front.

One of the doors of the white bone stone gate broke open with a huge gap, from which a sharp bone blade emerged.

Then, this bone blade slashed diagonally downward, connecting the two doors with the largest gap.

The gate was thus split in half slantwise, still from being broken open internally.

Black flames burned at the gap in the door.

The flames appeared similar to the black flames burning on the skeletons, but they seemed even more dangerous.

It felt as if looking at these flames was a direct confrontation with death.

Kane immediately noticed the difference in these black flames, more dangerous than the black flames on the Skeleton General from before.

No need to say more about the person with such flames.

Kane immediately shouted at the resistance fighters besieging the Skeleton Giant, "Everyone, fall back!"

Facing an opponent of this level, neither the resistance nor the Moon's Child had much use.

Forcing themselves into the battle now would only make them cannon fodder, easily wiped out.

As Kane's voice fell, the gap in the door burst open.

A figure shrouded in a tattered black cloak walked out from inside, the figure's form unlike that of a normal human.

Standing at an estimated height of nearly 3 to 4 meters, holding a long-handled scythe engulfed in raging black flames.

With its entire body concealed beneath the tattered black cloak, the appearance of the figure was indiscernible.

However, from within the hood, one could see a pair of eyes burning with eerie green flames.

This image, no matter what, gave the impression of the Death God crawling out of Hell.

With the appearance of this figure, the resistance and Moon's Child heard Kane's command and all retreated.

Kreya took the opportunity to dispatch the Skeleton Giant in front of her, as the black and white flames provided great support in destroying these Skeleton Giants.

And this newly appeared figure, with the eyes burning in eerie green flames, fixed his gaze on Kane and Kreya.

He instantly recognized Kreya and Kane, calling out their identities.

"You damned subversives again! Annoying as rats."

His voice was dark and hollow, carrying a chill of disdain.

These words confirmed for Kane and Kreya the identity of the person, the Black Monarch.

"Are you the Black Monarch?" Kane asked.

The Black Monarch did not reply to Kane's question but stared intently at the floating head of the Platinum Scepter beside Kane.

His voice bore disbelief: "That's the Authority of Creation, taken by my damned elder brother; did you finish him off?"

After speaking, his visible expression revealed excitement.

"I didn't expect you to eliminate him. You're far more entertaining than other mice."

With these words, the Black Monarch swung down the long-handled scythe resting on his shoulder, as black flames flew off through his swing onto the ground.

Seeing the Black Monarch wanting to attack,

others wanted to come help, but were all repelled by the Black Monarch's black flames.

The black flames enclosed everything around, preventing anyone from entering.

At the entrance of the White Bone Palace, only Kane and Kreya faced the Black Monarch, like an arena they were encircled in.

Black flames followed the ground, gathering shattered bones around into rising, reassembled skeletons, one after another.

Kane saw these black flames also trying to resuscitate the two fallen Giant Guards but couldn't awaken them.

Kane noticed that the skeletons destroyed by Kreya's black and white flames could not be reanimated by the black flames.

This caused the circle of black flames, with an extremely sparse number of resurrected skeletons.

As the black flames spread, Kane once again entered Ghost Form, black and white flames also spreading from her.

Kreya stomped her front foot, and the black and white flames spread from beneath her feet as well.

Ignoring the small skeleton soldiers, the flames directly entered the two giant skeleton guards, instantly climbing onto them and rekindling within their skulls.

As the black and white flames burned, the two giant skeletons rose again.

"How is this possible?"

"How do you possess the powers of death?"

The Black Monarch's voice was filled with shock.

Hearing the Black Monarch's words, Kane frowned. It was clear that his subordinates had been targeting Kreya because they knew her power significantly suppressed them, but did the Black Monarch himself not know?

This was interesting; it meant the Black Monarch had just come out of the palace.

The skeletons reawakened by the Black Monarch were blocked by the two giant skeleton guards summoned by Kreya.

Those burning with black flames could not amass enough numbers to bypass the block of the giant skeletons.

Kreya raised her Flying Wing Dual Blades and quickly charged forward.

Kane also switched his skills again.

Directly entered Dragon Form, and a golden glow began to spread over his body. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

With the spreading golden glow, layers upon layers of mechanical structures rapidly constructed around Kane.

The 7-meter Divine Envoy Mecha was reassembled once more.

Kreya had already reached the Black Monarch, slashing with her Flying Wing Dual Blades.

The Black Monarch reacted swiftly, blocking with the long-handled scythe in his hand.

The power transmitted from the scythe surprised the Black Monarch somewhat; just from the strength, he sensed these two Overturners in front of him were far stronger than the previous group that had caused him great harm.

The black flames on the scythe didn't invade as he expected, instead, they stalemated with the black and white flames from Kreya's Flying Wing Dual Blades.

The black and white flames in Kreya's hands suppressed the flames on the skeletons.

But against the black flames used personally by the Black Monarch, the effect was greatly diminished.

Yet it simultaneously rendered the Black Monarch's black flames ineffective against Kreya, granting her a huge advantage.

Observing the Black Monarch's attacks and summoning minions, he extensively used black flames, indicating they must manifest his rules.

Seeing his attack blocked, the Black Monarch's heart grew heavy.

Then he felt Kane's attack approaching.

A golden beam shot over, swiftly blocked by the Black Monarch's tattered black cloak, the flames on the cloak extinguishing the golden beam's effect.

Holy Light Attribute damage couldn't even harm the black flames, and the energy from magic power had little effect either.

This was the black flames the Black Monarch personally used, far superior to those of the skeleton soldiers.

Kane sensed the black flames enhanced the deadly force of the Black Monarch's attacks, granting him powerful magic resistance.

Directly piloting the Divine Envoy Mecha, he charged with the crystal long spear.

The crystal long spear in his hand thrust directly at the Black Monarch, who did not block.

He continued to fight Kreya in front of him with his scythe, seemingly ignoring Kane's attack.

Kane's thrust was once again automatically blocked by the black flames.

It didn't feel like penetrating ordinary flames; it was as if striking a high-hardness steel wall.

Possessing both strong magic and physical resistance.

This meant even if Kane used ranged thermal weapons, the damage he could inflict was extremely limited; after all, his shells and bullets dealt magic damage too.

However, it wasn't purely magic damage; there was some mixed physical damage involved.

The flames' strong dual resistance rendered Kane's attacks feeble, making Kreya the main force of the offensive.

Kreya's attacks with the black and white flames nullified the Black Monarch's black flames, disarming them both.

Essentially, the Black Monarch had to rely on his body's defense and attack power to combat Kreya.

The Black Monarch's close combat techniques might be only slightly better than the Red Monarch's, but against a master like Kreya who also wielded immense strength.

After a dozen rounds, the Black Monarch was already at a disadvantage, relying solely on his odd physical constitution to hold on.

The body hidden under the cloak was also wrapped in black flames, which seemed to strengthen it.

Kane was on the side using Spider Silk for a brief constraint on the Black Monarch's body.

Though the Spider Silk only lasted a short while before burning away from the black flames.

But Kane's Spider Silk was quick and powerful after pulling.

Moreover, the Black Monarch couldn't withstand Kreya, the combination increasing Kreya's advantage.

Finally, Kreya successfully diverted the swinging scythe with one Flying Wing Blade, thrusting the other directly into the Black Monarch's body under the cloak.

The kindled black and white flames pushed away the black flames enveloping him.

This blade pierced straight into the Black Monarch's chest.

Taking advantage, the other sword blade freed up and swung towards the Black Monarch's neck.

Kreya felt her sword blade successfully cutting the Black Monarch's neck.

With the successful strike,

The Black Monarch fell to the ground.
