Boom!
The entire ground violently trembled.
Soren's strike in the form of the Balor Lord directly caused cracks to web across the portal. The gathered radiance on its surface then rapidly dissipated, and damage already appeared across the entire portal.
Yet this was still not enough!
Soren abruptly gripped the Giant Vorpal Sword with both hands and immediately unleashed a three-hundred-and-sixty-degree rotational slash.
--Whirlwind Attack!
--Superior Power Attack!
With a ferocious, charged cleaving strike, Soren directly severed the giant bone portal before him. A rumbling crash then resounded, and the portal before him rapidly collapsed in a single instant.
--Greater Teleport!
Soren lingered not at all after successfully achieving his goal, immediately utilizing Greater Teleport to depart.
This was the stronghold of the undead, after all; if he were intercepted, escape was not guaranteed. Just as Soren's massive physique departed, an angry roar suddenly echoed from the fortress in the distance, and the figure of the King of Ghouls, Doresain, rapidly appeared before the scene.
Blazing fire filled everything all around.
Soren's flames were unimaginably fierce even within the cold climate, entirely impossible to extinguish.
The King of Ghouls, Doresain, had pupils shining with pale green light, wore a luxurious robe and leather armor, wore a bone crown, and held a spine-shaped staff known as the Hungry Tooth Staff. A skull sat atop the upper end of the staff, signifying reverence for Orcus.
Possessing an unending sense of hunger, Doresain held immense affinity for all creatures with insatiable thirsts. He looked like an extremely emaciated and filthy ghoul, his eyes flashing with intense pale-green ghoul-light, and his feet resembled a fiend's hooves. Contrasting sharply with his filthy appearance was a soft, magnificent white robe made of human skin, with a pale leather armor embedded with numerous tiny skulls worn underneath.
