Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 601 - 592: Annihilation

The fall of the Black Monarch sparked cheers from the rebellious forces outside, who had been driven back by the black flames.

They were cheering, excited at the demise of the source of their misery, the Black Monarch.

Watching Kreya relax a bit, Kane didn't say anything but rather infused a bit of magic power into the ruby lapel pin on his collar.

The ruby lapel pin on Kreya's collar similarly shimmered and trembled slightly.

Kane's words reached her ears.

"The Black Monarch isn't dead; he can still resurrect. Stay natural."

Upon hearing Kane's words, Kreya maintained her previous expression as if unaffected by Kane's message.

The fall of the Black Monarch didn't extinguish the black flames; occasionally, bones, invaded by the black fire, would rise anew.

This scene made the rebels realize that something was wrong; it seemed the Black Monarch hadn't perished.

At Kreya's feet, the Black Monarch's corpse was reduced to a cloak.

His body transformed into a mass of black flames, surfaced nearby, and then reformed into the shape of a fireman.

In his hand, he still gripped his white bone scythe, the only change being that he no longer wore the tattered, black cloak hiding his visage.

Yet, even without the cloak, the Black Monarch's face remained obscured, as he was shrouded in a layer of black flames.

Facing the resurrected Black Monarch, Kreya couldn't help but frown.

"You seem surprised? Don't be, for I hold the power of death; death is under my control, how could it befall me, hahaha."

The Black Monarch laughed wildly, appearing to relish the astonished look on his enemy's face every time he resurrected.

He charged at Kreya with his white bone scythe once more.

A few strands of spider silk shot forth again, binding the Black Monarch and limiting his movements, but only briefly, as the silk burned to ashes in the flames enveloping the Black Monarch.

However, taking advantage of the moment, Kreya succeeded in slashing the Black Monarch's torso once more.

The other sword blade blocked the scythe aimed at her.

At this moment, Kane, piloting the Divine Envoy Mecha, charged at the Black Monarch, continuing the attack with his crystal long spear.

Even though the black flames on the Black Monarch repelled the assault, Kane was undeterred and continued relentlessly.

Despite the Black Monarch ignoring Kane's attacks, he was locked in an intense struggle with Kreya.

The pressure from Kreya increased, and it was evident that the black flames Kane attacked with were thinning.

Yet Kane's attack could still not penetrate the shield formed by the black flames.

Reluctantly, Kane stepped back, using his cannon and spider silk frequently, coupled with the continuity of close combat, to harass the Black Monarch.

Under Kane's assault, Kreya once again drove her sword blade into the Black Monarch's chest.

Then the Black Monarch's corpse fell to the ground once more, transforming into black flames and reforming in the distance.

"I told you, I am an immortal existence."

The Black Monarch spoke as he attacked once again.

The intense combat was starting to wear Kreya down, her physical strength waning slightly.

She had no choice but to gulp down a bottle of physical potion and continue her attack.

Conversely, the Black Monarch, witnessing this, laughed even more recklessly.

Under the joint efforts of Kreya and Kane, the Black Monarch was slain again.

This time, however, the Black Monarch directly resurrected on the spot, resuming the fight with his scythe against Kreya.

Kreya was already breathing heavily, and the force of her attacks noticeably weakened.

"You are strong, much stronger than the previous subversives who came before me, but alas, you cannot kill me."

"Tired now, right? This high-intensity battle, your physical strength is finally running low?"

"My counterattack is about to commence, hahaha."

The Black Monarch laughed wantonly, his attacks becoming increasingly rapid and frequent.

He even neglected to defend against some of Kane's attacks, the black flames used for defense growing weaker.

More flames converged at the front, intensifying the pressure on Kreya.

Nonetheless, Kreya could still use her equipment and skills to suppress and gain the upper hand.

The Black Monarch's actions and targets mirrored those of his subordinates; upon seeing Kreya's black and white flames able to suppress their black flames, he persistently attacked Kreya.

In his mind, only Kreya posed a threat to him; her black and white flames instilled fear in him.

Noticing Kane's weakening attacks, the Black Monarch concentrated wholly on Kreya.

As long as Kreya was eliminated, the others posed no threat.

Kane ceased the attack once again, focusing on distraction and harassment.

Kreya once more severed the Black Monarch's neck.

The Black Monarch fell to the ground, his head rolling to the side, kicked away by Kane.

Yet, the distant head immediately transformed into a mass of black flames, merging swiftly back into the body.

The body crawled out again, the head reattached.

"It's useless. Even if you dismember me, I can still gather myself."

"I told you, death will never befall me. Everything you do is futile. Now, quietly await the arrival of death."

The resurrected Black Monarch twisted his neck and spoke.

"If you could be resurrected infinitely, then why were you severely injured by the subverters a century ago?"

Upon hearing Kane's question, the Black Monarch did not launch an attack immediately but leisurely began to answer.

Even when he saw not far away Kreya taking out a yellow Physical Potion, restoring her Physical Strength, he still did not attack.

Pride and victory in hand were vividly displayed on his person.

"Was I seriously injured? No, that was merely a deception. Not only was I not seriously injured, but my power has also improved."

Hearing the Black Monarch's words, Kane couldn't help but frown and ask: "Then why did the living dead appear? Isn't such a violation of the natural order because you can no longer govern the rules of death properly?"

"Ah, you mean that."

"I just temporarily gave up fulfilling the duties of death. After all, I need to focus more energy elsewhere, so a little chaos in death is normal."

"Now you can start saying your last words!"

Keynes did not believe the Black Monarch's words at all.

This person, compared to his surface arrogance, hid a truly insidious and deceitful nature.

Kane's Eagle Eye could see the reaction of Magic Power. From the moment he saw the Black Monarch, he had noticed the unusual energy response within him.

It was exactly the same as when others were injured.

Laughing heartily, the Black Monarch swung the White Bone Scythe and charged once more.

He passed directly in front of Kane, heading for Kreya in the distance.

Kreya discarded the Empty Potion Bottle in her hand, picked up the Flying Wing Dual Blades, and faced the attack again.

This time, the black and white flames on Kreya's body erupted more violently than before, making her face indistinct to the onlookers outside.

With the swing of the Sword Blade, the black and white flames extended along the blade, attempting to drive back the black flames on the Black Monarch's body.

When the Black Monarch's Scythe clashed with Kreya's weapon, black flames surged massively from his body to resist Kreya's black and white flames.

By this time, Kane had already appeared behind the Black Monarch, and the Crystal Long Spear in his hand attacked once more.

The black flames blocking the Crystal Long Spear visibly thinned.

Because Kreya increased the intensity of the black and white flames in front, the Black Monarch had to expend more black flames to resist.

Kane withdrew the Spear again, adding the Death Gaze to the spear's tip, as the Divine Envoy Mecha at his back absorbed the energy from the Divine Human State Golden Wheel.

This spear, carrying immense power, broke through the black flames directly.

The blade of the spear successfully struck the Black Monarch's body, piercing through his chest.

However, simply killing the Black Monarch was not enough, for he could still be resurrected.

In an instant, the head of the Platinum Scepter floating by Kane's side radiated a purple light, which surged along the blade into the Black Monarch's body.

As the purple light poured in, the black flames on the Black Monarch's body were extinguished instantly, revealing his true form.

The Black Monarch's true form was extraordinarily tall and thin, resembling a three to four-meter-high bamboo pole, with severe burn marks on his face.

As the flames receded, the immortal trait also vanished from the Black Monarch.

However, Kane's spear was also forced out by a powerful force, and the large hole in the Black Monarch's chest healed.

But Kreya's attack had already arrived.

With intense black and white flames burning, she slashed open a large gash on the Black Monarch's chest.

Another Sword Blade penetrated in and then twisted fiercely.

As the blade was withdrawn, a black Gemstone was pulled out by it.

This time, his body could no longer regenerate, and golden blood flowed from the wound.

The Black Monarch knelt to the ground, clutching the wound on his chest with both hands.

In a weak voice, he said, "Impossible, how did you grasp the authority of creation so quickly."

Before the words were even finished, the Black Monarch fell to the ground, blood spreading across the surface.

The black flames surrounding him also extinguished as the Black Monarch fell.

This time, the Black Monarch was finally dead.

Regarding the Black Monarch's last words, Kane could only say that the authority of creation was indeed too fitting for him.

So it didn't take Kane long to grasp a certain amount of authority from the head of the Scepter, though it was only a small part.

The first thing Kane tried to master was the suppression of other authorities, but due to the short time since obtaining it, the suppression effect was not as Kane had hoped.

In order to perfectly exert the suppression effect, Kane and Kreya continued to kill the Black Monarch repeatedly.

This was all to search for the most perfect state of suppression and the best timing.

And Kane, in each of the Black Monarch's deaths, sought to perceive the essence and core of his resurrection.

With the presence of the Scepter's head, Kane was exceptionally sensitive to the other pieces of the Scepter.

Finally, after several of the Black Monarch's deaths, Kane discovered the target's location and its flaw.

An instant of suppression allowed Kreya to genuinely harm the Black Monarch's true form.

Through the Ruby Lapel Pin, Kane communicated the location of the fragments to Kreya.

This allowed them to eliminate the Black Monarch in a very brief moment.

The Black Monarch might have reacted, but previous actions had slightly lowered his guard.

Timing waits for no one, one wrong step leads to another.
