Chapter138-The Death of Alback (1st update, Cheer me with Power Stones!)

Ethan abruptly turned, thrusting his spear at the demon claw.

Ding!

Ethan's strike met the demon claw but could not penetrate it; the ancient devil's demon aura was indestructible.

"Heh heh..." the ancient devil sneered, wickedly swinging his demonic blade at Ethan.

Crash!

Ethan's golden protective aura was shattered by the blade, leaving a vicious gash across his chest.

"Damnation!" Ethan spat, immediately utilizing the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams technique to mend his injuries.

"Human, you are feeble! You cannot possibly challenge me!" Alback laughed, his blade aimed at Ethan.

"Really?" Ethan shot back, his body crouching as he gathered strength in his legs.

He leaped into the air and landed a powerful kick on the ancient devil's chest, only to find it as unyielding as steel.

Using the recoil, Ethan touched down, a golden halo slowly materializing behind his head as he was enveloped in holy light, becoming a luminous being.

Holy Shining Form activated!

With a furious roar, Ethan charged at the ancient devil, drove his Dragon Slayer Spear into the ground, and landed a powerful kick on his chest once again.

This time, Alback neither dodged nor flinched, his face even displaying a contemptuous smile.

He thought Ethan's blow could never breach his defense, considering his unparalleled physical might.

Thump!

The kick landed heavily on the ancient devil's chest, sending him crashing into the wall.

"Cough... You... You managed to wound me!" Alback said, wiping the blood from his lips, looking somewhat taken aback.

The human before him had seemingly become many times more potent, the holy light around him causing great discomfort.

"Perish!"

Infuriated and feeling his pride wounded, Alback roared, his black blade radiating, and slashed furiously at Ethan!

They exchanged hundreds of blows in a flash, Alback gaining no advantage, even finding himself suppressed by Ethan.

"Human! Unpardonable! I will suck your essence dry, turn your soul into my puppet, to serve me for eternity!" Alback raged.

The mist within the underground city began to converge around him.

His stature increased, and a pair of massive demonic wings emerged from his back, while two sets of twisted horns slowly grew from his forehead.

Alback's crimson eyes emanated a terrifying gleam, and endless demon aura swirled around him.

With all four of his arms gripping the dark blade, he brought it down with a thunderous crash!

A blade glow, hundreds of meters long, instantly illuminated the entire sky, as if splitting the heavens and the earth in two.

"Die, human! You should feel honored to die at my hands, Alback!" Alback roared in mad laughter.

The terrifying blade light tore through the sky, heading straight for Ethan.

He took a deep breath as the divine ring behind his head shone brighter, and endless holy light infused the Dragon Slayer Spear in his hand.

Slowly, golden dragon scales appeared on his skin, and his eyes turned into golden vertical pupils.

The Dragon Slayer Spear was completely enveloped in golden brilliance, and the shadow of the black dragon on the spear slowly began to metamorphose, transforming into a divine dragon radiating sacredness.

"Break!"

Ethan roared, and his golden, terrifying spear technique burst forth.

Above the ground, it was as if a great sun had risen.

The fierce sun collided with the blade glow, and the whole world fell into silence.

Where the black met the gold, space began to twist and vanish in silence.

A terrible energy exploded outward, blasting a pit dozens of meters deep in the ground.

"Human! I've underestimated you!" Alback yelled.

His demonic claws waved, creating a gust of wind as he targeted Ethan's abdomen.

The ancient devil moved incredibly quickly and was upon Ethan in the blink of an eye.

Ethan kicked away his palm, and at the same time, two of the ancient devil's arms clenched into fists, striking down at Ethan, while the other two held the dark blade, slashing down at Ethan!

Clang!

Ethan blocked the falling dark blade with his spear, and the holy light around him surged.

A terrifying divine dragon descended from the sky, enveloping both the man and the demon.

"Judgement!"

Ethan's cold voice resonated like a deity. The terrifying power of holy light spread, and as he was bathed in it, Ethan's aura grew even more powerful.

Alback, however, let out painful howls.

Ethan swung his spear and pierced Alback's chest.

The ancient devil, hit with a massive blow, was impaled to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"No, this can't be!" Alback roared in anger.

He barely managed to rise when Ethan's fist smashed into his face, breaking his nose and causing blood to flow freely.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Ethan launched a fierce assault, and the holy light rained down on Alback like droplets.

The ancient devil felt pain as if his body was tearing apart, with many bones broken.

"Ah..."

Alback let out a scream, feeling a blur before his eyes.

Then his abdomen, shoulders were pierced again and again.

His demonic body was continuously skewered, bleeding profusely, looking unbearably pitiful.

With a "thud," Alback fell to the ground, blood continuously flowing from the corners of his mouth, his body weak and listless.

"You've lost," Ethan slowly approached the ancient devil.

Alback struggled to rise from the ground, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, looking up at Ethan with inscrutable crimson eyes.

"Impossible!"

"You're just a human, after all. How could you defeat the great devil Alback?" the ancient devil said, his pupils shrinking as he watched Ethan draw closer.

"I see now; you're not human at all..."

"A dragon, you're a divine dragon..." Alback said, realizing too late, a chill running down his spine.

In the ancient times, divine dragons were the mortal enemies of demons. The dragon before him had beaten him back without even using its True Dragon form.

"Kill!"

Feeling deeply humiliated, Alback struggled to his feet and swung his blade at Ethan.

Ethan effortlessly dodged the blow and then thrust his spear at the ancient devil.

Thud!

The black spear pierced through Alback's chest, its tip embedding into the ground, pinning the ancient devil firmly in place.

"No! A great devil will never fail... I've managed to survive into this godless era. How can I die so easily?" the ancient devil roared in anger.

"Go to the underworld and repent," Ethan said, coldly smiling.

He slowly pulled out the black spear, and dark red blood dripped down the handle.

The ancient devil let out a dying wail, gathering his last strength to leap from the ground.

He extended his arms, tightly embracing Ethan, and snapped at his neck.

"Flesh!"

"As long as I have flesh and life essence, I will never lose!" Alback, crazed, lunged at Ethan.

Ethan tilted his neck to avoid the ancient devil's bite.

Crack!

Grabbing the ancient devil's head with both hands, Ethan twisted it violently, a bone-chilling sound accompanying the motion.

Alback's head was twisted a full 180 degrees, with blood continuously spilling from his orifices.

"Roar!" the ancient devil let out a piercing scream, showing an incredible vitality even in this state.

He tightly gripped Ethan, waves of demon aura enveloping Ethan and binding him.

Ethan didn't dodge, and a terrifying holy light burst forth from within him.

He grabbed Alback in return, and the horrifying holy light instantly soaked the ancient devil's entire body.

"Ah..." Alback let out a series of miserable wails as the holy light purified all the demon aura.

The ancient devil's physical form emitted wisps of blue smoke within the holy light, and then was completely obliterated by the holy light, turning into countless particles of light and disappearing within the radiance.

The battle was over, and Ethan slowly deactivated his Holy Shining Form.

He picked up the black blade that Alback had been using, and aimed at it with his Dragon Slayer Spear.

Divine artifacts were sentient.

This black blade, like the Dragon Slayer Spear, was a semi-divine artifact, and within it had already birthed a spirit of the divine artifact.

The blade gradually emitted a faint consciousness, as if begging Ethan for mercy.

Ethan showed no mercy, sensing the Dragon Slayer Spear's desire to devour the black blade.

He infused holy light into the Dragon Slayer Spear, then thrust it violently, causing a burst of black light from the blade before it was shattered.

The tip of the Dragon Slayer Spear struck the black blade, creating a series of "crack" sounds, and even a pitiful wail.

The black blade exploded into dark fragments.

The shadow of a dragon flashed on the Dragon Slayer Spear, enveloping all the fragments and drawing them into the spear to begin devouring.

The battle in the underground city finally ended, and all threats were eradicated.

Ethan went to the destroyed warehouse, lifted the stones, and took all the Mana Crystals.

In such a terrifying battle, it was only natural that the Mana Crystal ore would be destroyed in the aftermath of the war.

He had fought so hard; he surely deserved some compensation.
