Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 619 - 544 brutally beaten

"You formed an alliance with my elder brother?"

The voice of the White Monarch was filled with uncertainty, and the appearance of the Steel Falcon made him hesitant to act recklessly.

Facing Kane and their attack, he didn't even defend and immediately retreated to dodge. He needed to think and assess the situation.

"Alliance?" Kane smiled, his face full of playful mockery.

Soon, a Platinum Scepter head appeared beside him, floating with a purple glow.

"You killed my elder brother? Damn it!"

The current situation was even more exaggerated than the White Monarch had imagined.

The fury was visible on the White Monarch's face, but despite his anger, he did not attack and instead retreated faster and faster.

The White Monarch was already contemplating whether to escape, as the scene had completely gotten out of his control and imagination.

The reality was vastly different from what he had judged.

As the White Monarch dodged, Kane's Long Spear smoothly sliced through the White Monarch's shoulder, leaving a thin wound on him.

However, the White Monarch continued to evade their attacks and seemed to have no reaction to the wound on his shoulder.

Right before their eyes, the thin wound on the White Monarch's shoulder vanished in an instant.

As expected, the White Monarch, who possessed the Authority of Life, had an absurd level of body recovery capability.

At this moment, Kreya's Ghost Form directly ignited black and white flames, and a black Gemstone floated beside him.

"You've mastered the Authority of Death?"

The death threat brought by the black and white flames on Kreya made the White Monarch feel it clearly.

The scene had become increasingly exaggerated to an incomprehensible degree for the White Monarch, and in his eyes, the situation was already magical.

He didn't understand how they had mastered the Authority in such a short period, as it had only been a day or two since the Black Monarch's death.

But the current situation didn't allow him to think much.

The White Monarch stopped pondering and turned to flee rapidly into the distance.

As for the soldiers and subordinates he had brought, he didn't think about their fate at all, treating them merely as tools.

The luminescence from the scepter fragments on Kane and Kreya's bodies indicated that they had already mastered an Authority, and the White Monarch wasn't foolish enough to think he had any chance of winning. His only option now was to escape, hoping for a slim chance of survival.

"Arena!"

With Kane's words, the purple Crystal beside him shone brightly.

The ground quickly manifested a series of high walls that enveloped the four of them.

These walls were aligned and connected, reaching into the air, then curving inward.

In an instant, Kane constructed an arena the size of half a soccer field.

The newly created walls gleamed with a metallic sheen, with Magic Rune lines, indicating they were magically reinforced and quite durable.

The White Monarch stopped his pace, staring at the Steel Wall in front of him.

At this moment, his heart sank to the bottom, and his rational mind told him there was no hope of victory.

Perhaps surrendering and pleading for mercy was what he should do now.

The vast construction from thin air suggested that the subversive had expertly mastered the Authority of Creation.

Put yourself in the other's shoes.

To have mastered the Authority of Creation so proficiently, they must have learned to suppress other Authorities too.

Add to that the death threat from the black and white flames, perhaps they have already grasped even death, enough to counteract his Authority.

The situation was extremely unfavorable, and for a moment, the White Monarch couldn't see any hope of survival.

Surrender and beg for mercy? Not an option.

Then he could only fight desperately, even if he could pull one down with him, ensuring his death wouldn't be in solitude.

The White Monarch turned around, pushed his feet hard, and charged toward Kane and the others.

Beside him, the white Gemstone blazed brightly, and with its radiance, the White Monarch underwent a complete transformation.

Growing behind him were wings like a dragon's, an unknown skull, with a massive mouth full of sharp teeth.

A huge tail covered in thick Scale Armor with a mace-like tail tip appeared behind him.

Beast claws and legs emerge, and in an instant, the White Monarch transformed into a monster cobbled together from various beast parts.

The white Gemstone floating around him continued to radiate, and the White Monarch, now wholly transformed into a monster, kept growing larger.

By the time he collided with Kane and the others, he had reached a height of eight or nine meters.

A 5-meter tall Gray Stone Giant's hand suddenly expanded and punched the White Monarch.

The White Monarch's hands or claws caught Longbei's fist, and his neck suddenly stretched like a snake, delivering a bite.

The bite force of the White Monarch's head was astonishingly powerful, directly breaking through Longbei's defense, causing blood to flow profusely.

Kane instantly donned his Divine Envoy Mecha, and the Crystal Long Spear in his hand pierced through the White Monarch's elongated throat.

Blood continuously flowed from the penetration point.

And Kane immediately used an instant of Authority suppression.

Purple light flowed into the monstrous body of the White Monarch along the spear.

However, it only stopped the healing of the large wound on his neck, and the White Monarch's body didn't revert to its original form but remained motionless.

This indicates that the White Monarch's current form is not a manifestation of Authority but seems to have become some irreversible action.

Kane instantly understood that this monstrous form wasn't the White Monarch's attack mode but his desperate gamble.

The White Monarch considered the suppressive effect Kane's Authority of Creation could have on his Authority of Life, seemingly employing some kind of irreversible change.

As the suppression of the purple light faded, the wound caused by the Crystal Long Spear quickly began to heal.

However, a twisted ray was already flying toward the White Monarch's body, and his enormous body made it difficult for him to dodge effectively.

Feeling the threat of the ray, the White Monarch opened his mouth, attempting to evade, but it was too late.

The White Monarch, in the midst of dodging, was struck by the ray, and his body instantly underwent uncontrollable strange changes, crashing heavily to the ground.

"What's going on?" The White Monarch's voice was filled with a beastly roar, no longer the previously magnetic tone.

Longbei gripped his small hammer and directly hurled it at the White Monarch.

The small hammer moved at lightning speed, instantly striking the downed body of the White Monarch, smashing directly into his leg.

"Ah!"

The White Monarch's scream echoed as Longbei's small hammer landed with great power, completely shattering the White Monarch's right leg from the root.

A half-thigh along with the knee and leg dropped entirely to the ground, golden and red blood mixed with a trace of foul-smelling black oozed out.

This immense power indicated that the bite the White Monarch had landed on Longbei earlier should also not be underestimated.

The massive wound from the severed leg instantly attempted to regenerate, but the Flying Wing Dual Blades had already slashed onto the White Monarch's fallen body.

The black-and-white flames directly covered it, instantly halting the restoration trend of the wounds on the White Monarch's body.

Yet, Kreya's black-and-white flames could not inflict any damage on the White Monarch's body.

Their authorities canceled each other out.

The White Monarch tried to get up to dodge, but his body was completely out of his control, rolling and flailing frantically on the ground.

Within seconds, his enormous body was already covered in various gruesome wounds.

Strange blood had also flowed all over the place.

With a scream, the White Monarch finally got to his feet.

Kane suddenly disappeared in front of the White Monarch, and as the White Monarch rose, he detected a fatal attack from behind and attempted to dodge to the side.

However, the enormous wounds all over his body and the missing limb left him with no opportunity to evade.

"Did you get used to the inversion so quickly? Impressive, but it's already too late."

The long spear glowed red, augmented by the Death Gaze. As it neared the White Monarch's neck, it transformed into an axe blade, slicing sideways and severing the White Monarch's monster head at the root.

The grotesque head fell to the ground as the enormous body collapsed.

A large amount of blood flowed out, covering the entire area beneath the corpse.

The white gemstone floating next to him also fell from the sky but was caught mid-air by Longbei's enlarged arm.

From trapping the White Monarch to taking him down, the time spent was less than 5 minutes.

The dual suppressive effect, compounded by the combined strength of the three, rendered any resistance from the White Monarch extremely futile.

Throughout the entire battle, the White Monarch was continuously beaten, unable to even retaliate, agonizingly dying under the siege of the three.

It was incredibly easy to take down a monarch.

Indeed, it's more satisfying to act with teammates, Kane couldn't help thinking.

"Why hasn't his body reverted?" Kreya asked in confusion, observing that the monster-like form of the White Monarch hadn't changed.

She also assumed the White Monarch's recent state was some form of attack mode and should have reverted after death.

Facing Kreya's question, Kane explained, "He knew after attempting to flee that if he were to be caught, he had no chance of victory, so he made a desperate bet. This form is probably irreversible."

Saying this, Kane dispersed the towering walls around them, as the target in the arena was dead, the battleground was no longer needed.

At this moment, the outside scene also came into view.

With the addition of the Steel Wings unit, although Kane's soldiers didn't completely hold an advantage on the battlefield,

at least it put the forces of the White Monarch in a stalemate.

As the towering walls dissipated, everyone on the battlefield couldn't help but turn their gazes over.

Everyone understood that the battle within the walls was truly the key to deciding the outcome of this war; their fights were insignificant in the face of absolute power.

As the walls dispersed, they saw Kane and the other two, as well as the enormous monster corpse lying beside them.

The soldiers on Kane's side might not have realized, but those brought by the White Monarch, seeing the enormous corpse, knew immediately that it was the White Monarch.

Upon seeing the White Monarch's corpse, a general long following the White Monarch, with hands forming wolf claws, immediately dropped the Giant Sword he was holding on the ground.

He then clasped his hands over his neck and squatted down.

Seeing this scene, all the various modified soldiers around him dropped their weapons and squatted down.

Without the slightest hesitation, they surrendered immediately.

Kane could even see from the expressions of many soldiers that the look in their eyes as they gazed at the White Monarch's corpse was mostly of glee and relief.

It seems this White Monarch is just like his siblings, not winning any favor, and the people in his territory eagerly awaiting their demise.

Neither the Steel Wings nor the Soul Guard Army were surprised at this sight, even feeling a peculiar sense of shared plight.

They didn't trouble the soldiers further, collected all the discarded weapons beside them,

and symbolically tied their hands, letting them line up on their own, not worrying about any escape attempts.

Judging from the soldiers' expressions, it was obvious they were not troubled or saddened by surrender; their faces were full of excitement.

The reason for their excitement was self-evident.

Leaving the handling of the captives to his subordinates,

Kane and Kreya turned their attention to the white gemstone in Longbei's hand, and Longbei raised the gemstone for a closer examination.
