When Iliphis is up to something big, it will inevitably attract the attention of many forces.

For example, there's Sid, who's constantly stirring up trouble everywhere; there's Jia Paer, who's preparing to meet with Sid and have a chat; and there's the magic professor and the group of Elf Race, who are still arguing.

For example, a Dungeon Lord came to join the fun after hearing about a speech in the Leyndell at noon, only to be caught in the crossfire.

When Gong Qiying saw that Fingel had assassinated Iliphis in the past, he thought he was about to witness a revenge drama.

However, when he saw the mercenaries of the Light Eagle Legion transform into beasts, Iliphis also appeared in a strange form, he suddenly realized something.

These mercenaries who can transform into beasts are exactly the same as those two mercenaries who came to the Zane Dungeon with weapons but were killed instead. So they're in cahoots!

When he saw Iliphis Griffith and slaughtering adventurers—actually, before he even had a chance to "slaughter" them— Gong Qiying couldn't stand idly by.

Did he kill adventurers? No, they were the very foundation of the Zane Dungeon!

This is no ordinary mercenary group; we must strike hard!

To what Gong Qiying hadn't expected, Princess Serena was able to use the Chaotic Magic on Iliphis, and even luckily, she managed to get Elifis to use the Road Home, which led her directly into the territory of the Zane Dungeon.

This saved him a lot of trouble.

However, there is still a problem. Iliphis's spatial abilities seem strange and inexplicable, and he gives off a completely different vibe than before. Perhaps we can no longer deal with him in the same way as before and need to be more serious.

It's still uncertain how effective those filthy things from the Frenzied Flame will be on him, so let's try to deal with him using pure power first!

Just in case, Gong Qiying finally clicked the upgrade button for Level 4 authority, ushering in another upgrade of the city lord's authority!

Although it cannot summon the golden age, the decline is enough. Come forth, those legendary figures with names and surnames!

Inside the Zane Dungeon.

Iliphis watched as the Storm Dragon gradually emerged from the clouds, his face, as smooth as molten tar, remained expressionless; perhaps he was no longer capable of making expressions.

He had heard of it. The Storm Dragon and the Storm Dragon Dragonslayer Armour riding the Storm Dragon were the two beings who broke into Bede City and killed two of his capable captains. Speaking of which, that was when the Light Eagle Legion first clashed with the Zane Dungeon.

Iliphis never liked this place from beginning to end.

If the Storm Dragon and the Dragonslayer Armour were to reappear, he is confident that he would be no less than his opponent, and victory would not be impossible.

[Fine, let me now dismantle this underground city and unearth the ancient kingdom of my dreams.]

The ancient kingdom he couldn't forget—since he could no longer be the King of the Arnor Kingdom, he would at least try to get his hands on it!

Thinking this, he raised his hand toward the Storm Dragon that broke through the clouds, ready to clench his fist and crush it to pieces with his spatial abilities!

However, he suddenly realized something and slowed down his fist clenching for a moment.

There was indeed a figure standing on the Storm Dragon's body, but it wasn't the Dragonslayer Armour; it was the Nameless King had been making headlines among adventurers lately!

He raised the Dragonslayer Swordspear high, and endless lightning gathered on the spear, promising a strike that would shake the heavens and the earth.

[Nameless King? I am a king now!]

Iliphis clenched his fist, and the space around the Storm Dragon and the Nameless King suddenly contracted. Under this move, any creature in the space would be compressed into a bloody pulp until it was completely annihilated in the space.

Sure enough, the man and the dragon vanished immediately!

Although Iliphis couldn't make a face, his melting body trembled a few times, as if he were laughing out loud. He firmly believed that he had now surpassed the Zane Dungeon and its strongest creation!

"Roar--"

A Dragon Roar pierced the sky, and the wind and clouds surged violently, carrying dazzling lightning. The figure of the Nameless King and his comrade Storm Dragon broke through the storm once again!

Before Iliphis could be shocked, the lightning spear in his hand was already shooting towards him!

Get out of the way!

Iliphis suddenly shifted his spatial position, but Gungnir, as if it would not stop until it killed its target, relentlessly pursued him even after he moved. The chase did not begin because the lightning had already struck him!

"Boom--"

A deafening roar resounded Iliphis was blasted out of the space he had created, with large amounts of slime spilling out in a spectacular display.

And wrapped in that scattered slime were quite a few adventurers that he had swallowed!

The clouds surged and enveloped all the adventurers. A campfire appeared out of nowhere, and the adventurers walked past it. Even just sitting down for a moment, they were instantly awakened.

Their mental state wasn't good after being swallowed, and when they opened their eyes they saw the Nameless King confronting Iliphis, which had a huge impact on their mental state, resulting in a large amount of Spirit Power being gained!

"Is this... is this heaven?" Fingel asked, clutching his dizzy head.

"No, this is Sion!" Lu Lu Wo, shaking off the slime on her body in disgust. "Why are we in Sion?!"

"Look, that's the Nameless King!"

When they saw the Nameless King shoot down Iliphis, the adventurers, who had just figured out what was going on, became excited and their spirits lifted. The pressure that Iliphis had brought earlier vanished.

[A bunch of short-sighted fools!]

Iliphis abruptly stopped in mid-air. In that short time, he had stabilized his injuries, with purple starlight shimmering within him, even instantly erasing the wounds.

While using the Fallen Devil Egg, he heard a power coming from beyond the heavens. When he sensed the friendliness within that power, he, who was already desperate and even somewhat resigned to his fate, chose to accept it without hesitation.

The Fallen Devil Egg granted him a comprehensive upgrade and the ability to control space, while the purple starlight provided him with protection, instantly healing both physical and mental injuries and giving him great resistance to damage from all attributes. Combined with his spatial abilities, he could even eliminate a type of damage completely!

The Nameless King's power caught him off guard, but he was capable of fighting!

[Come!]

Facing the Storm Dragon charging menacingly, Iliphis's body suddenly swelled up, almost covering half the sky, as if he wanted to completely engulf the dragon.

Endless lightning and slime collided in the air, flashing dazzling special effects. The adventurers watching were almost overwhelmed by the aura emanating from them, and it was already difficult enough to keep their breathing smooth.

"Damn it, there's nothing we can do to help here!" Fingel gritted his teeth. "I want to go out and help. The monsters summoned by Iliphis are still rampaging, aren't they!"

Even if you say that...

Lu Lu Wo was about to shake her head when she suddenly kicked something. She picked it up and took a look.

"Huh? Isn't this the real-time teleportation crystal I made? How did it end up here? Who brought it?"

The adventurers shook their heads repeatedly.

Looking at the Transmission Crystal, Lu Lu Wo showed a thoughtful expression.

"The image transmission crystals I made can connect the images together. The Image Transmission Device that the Princess left in the square is still there, right?"

Fingel nodded.

"Then I know how to help."

Facing the gods and demons battling in the sky, Lu Lu Wo steadily raised the teleportation crystal.

Outside the Zane Dungeon, in the Leyndell.

At this moment, the Leyndell was completely engulfed in the turmoil brought about by Iliphis. The monsters summoned by the meteor were rampaging through every street, slaughtering unarmed civilians.

Even Iliphis had been teleported to the Zane Dungeon, the meteors falling from the sky had not stopped, and monsters continued to fall from the sky in an endless stream.

Not only monsters, but also a group of elite royal knights controlled by Iliphis, mercenaries of the Light Eagle Legion, and other hostile forces. The entire battlefield is complex and sometimes it is impossible to distinguish who is the enemy and who is the friend.

Some took up arms to resist, while others, after witnessing Iliphis's power, were tempted to retreat. Even though Elifius had been teleported into the dungeon, his return was only a matter of time, so they still had to escape as soon as possible.

Serena inspired wave after wave of people to continue fighting, but compared to those who fled, it was just a drop in the ocean.

"Am I ultimately incapable of inspiring everyone?" she clenched her fist. "If only something could come out to stabilize morale."

As soon as she finished speaking, as if in response to her prayer, the image covering the sky suddenly changed.

"Hello, hello, hello, can you hear me? This is Lu Lu Wo, we are now in the Zane Dungeon!"

Lu Lu Wo voice echoed throughout the entire Leyndell, and her large face was also shown in a close-up shot from a death angle.

"The Nameless King rescued us from being swallowed by Iliphis and is now fighting him Iliphis overwhelming force. He can take care of that bastard at any time!"

The scene shifts to the Nameless King who is fighting Iliphis.

Iliphis used his spatial abilities to appear and disappear unpredictably, constantly dodging the power of the thunder, and occasionally launching spatial attacks against the Nameless King that were invisible to the naked eye.

The Nameless King remained as steady as a mountain in the face of any attack, showing almost no signs of injury. He simply raised his Dragonslayer Swordspear with composure, and every Lightning Spear he unleashed forced Iliphis to dodge back and forth, displaying the demeanor of a king.

Even Iliphis had eliminated most of the damage with his abilities and was still trying to organize a counterattack, his performance appeared to everyone as if he had been beaten so badly that he could only run away with his head in his hands!

Lu Lu Wo's voice-over immediately rang out:

"Everyone, fight hard! The culprit is about to kick the bucket! Protect our city!"

People stared wide-eyed at the screen.

"That Iliphis was beaten so badly he couldn't fight back at all?"

"If he dies, will the shooting stars stop?"

"It has to be Sion again!"

Serena was the first to react and shouted:

"Everyone, pick up your weapons! How can we give up now!"

"Oh oh oh!"

The people were in high spirits. The tragic state of Iliphis had invigorated them, and they were no longer afraid of these powerful meteor monsters!

However, how could the unknown possibly allow people to cheer up?

Although He can only interfere in this world briefly now, He can still interfere. In His last moments, He unleashed an even more powerful meteor demon upon this place.

Several monsters, as large as Titans, crashed to the ground, the shockwaves instantly silencing the cheers. Gazing at those towering monsters, people felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over them.

By the way, the one who's really powerful is Sion. How could those of them outside possibly fight against a monster the size of a Titan?

Just as people's faith was being tested once again, an old man's voice rang out.

His voice was mature but not old, and it even carried the appreciation of an old person meeting a pleasing younger generation.

"The Princess is right, how can we give up at a time like this?"

A dazzling sword light shot up from the ground, instantly splitting the giant monster in two. In the blink of an eye, the soaring sword light dispersed into countless tiny sword light storms, shattering the giant monster to pieces while simultaneously beheading monsters within a mile radius.

"Yes, it's Sword Saint Gapar! The Sword Saint has arrived!"

Malu, who was fighting a monster, whistled excitedly and turned around to shout, "Handsome old man! So cool!"

With a smile playing on his lips, Jia Paer waved his hand, leaving behind a dashing and elegant silhouette, before drawing his Stars Linked Sword towards the swarming monsters.

A roar came from the distant sky, and people saw the familiar monster in the Zane Dungeon — the Female Fire Dragon!

The Female Fire Dragon had already reached her limit by bringing a group of people from the portal to the Leyndell. She landed on the ground and gasped for breath as she approached the plaza. However, her mission of transporting people was over. Following her, several griffins also landed.

Who's here?

Suddenly, people saw a deep blue meteorite falling from the sky, smashing a giant monster to the ground. This was the signature spell that Professor He De Si had learned from the Glintstone Magic!

The next moment, the full moon suddenly rose over the Leyndell, and the silvery moonlight annihilated all the monsters along the way, until it collided with a giant monster and completely destroyed its head!

The former magic professor, now Aunt Si Telan's elf Wei En Ma, leaned against the wall, panting after casting the spell [Full Moon], but her eyes gleamed with satisfaction as she muttered to herself:

"I reset my stats, giving up all Strength and leveling up Intelligence, and finally I was able to unleash this magic!"

Unexpected reinforcements arrived, and three of the giant monsters fell in the blink of an eye!

The howls of wolves echoed across the square as a large, dark mass of Farron Guard finally arrived on wolves. With a command from Da Er, dozens of the most elite men rode giant wolves and climbed onto the bodies of the colossal monsters. At that moment, they all activated their Wolf's Blood, and the Farron Greatsword ruthlessly reaped the flesh and blood of the colossal monsters. In an instant, another colossal monster fell!

Everyone present cheered. Morale reached its peak at that moment.

Those who were fleeing stopped in their tracks, those who hesitated picked up their weapons, and those who were already fighting became even more courageous!

Some fearless bards turned their instruments up to the maximum volume, and the stirring and magnificent music resounded intermittently throughout the Leyndell, with more and more music echoing from every corner of the Leyndell.

The clarion call for the counterattack was sounded at this moment!

In a corner, Gong Qiying saw the people fighting hard and nodded in satisfaction. It was worth it for him to analyze the teleportation crystal that Lu Lu Wo had made a few days ago and incorporate it into the available items in the Zane Dungeon. Now it came in handy.

It seems there's no need to worry about external matters anymore, so now he only needs to do one thing:

Kill Iliphis and put an end to this turmoil!

"That guy, he actually managed to gain this level of power using the Fallen Devil Egg? It feels like it's not just the Fallen Devil Egg, there must be some other force influencing him."

Regardless of what force influenced Iliphis, Gong Qiying has now found a way to deal with him.

If the opponent seems to be able to resist most of the power of a single type of damage, then a simple tactic cannot be used. Using multiple types of damage simultaneously can minimize the time required to resolve the situation.

There is no doubt that the Nameless King summoned from the current Zane Dungeon can single-handedly defeat Iliphis.

However, it will take some time, just like a human completely killing a cockroach.

"Then, let's have the preview for the next episode right here."

Take down Iliphis in the most spectacular way, and incidentally release a preview of Sion's upcoming version update!

The moment the idea popped into his head, Gong Qiying pulled up the City Lord Panel and started typing on it.

Inside the Zane Dungeon.

Iliphis was struggling to resist the Nameless King's lightning. The burning sensation on his body was extremely unpleasant, and he even had a feeling that his opponent was not using his full strength and was in a state of ease.

In other words, it's as if I'm not qualified to make him use his full strength!

I have so much more potential yet to be unlocked, and so much more power to gain; I just lack the time! I'm no less capable than you!

He had a premonition that he would grow stronger with the passage of time, so he wanted to stall for time until he was strong enough to defeat the Nameless King. His abilities were best suited for stalling for time!

You can't catch me!

He suddenly appeared high in the sky, having given up the idea of fighting his opponent, and only wanted to dodge with all his might.

But just then, an extremely ominous feeling welled up in my heart, as if, as if I were being watched by some terrifying being?

He couldn't help but close his eyes, and when he opened them again, he suddenly found that the scene in front of him had changed.

A blood-red moon appeared before him, like the eyes of an ancient god staring intently at him. Just one glance was enough to cause his heavily guarded mind to tremble violently.

The next second, he felt a cold touch on his neck; a scythe was held against his neck.

Yes, who was it! They did it so quietly—

"Fall."

The old hunter swung the Funeral Blade, Iliphis, who was already incorporeal and almost immune to physical attacks, once again felt the pain of his body being torn apart by the blade. It wasn't just his body; it felt as if his soul had been ripped open!

His body plummeted from the sky, and when he opened his eyes again, the moon had vanished, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.

Stay calm, stay calm!

Iliphis struggled to steady himself, but just then, two roars that surpassed Dragon Roar he had ever heard before rang out beside him. He saw two enormous ancient dragons with bodies as hard as rocks, crackling with crimson and black lightning, charging toward him!

Two bolts of lightning, each a distinct color, exceeded his ability to absorb damage. He was severely injured, but his will compelled him to stand up. But just then—

"Roar--"

A louder roar drowned out the roars of the two ancient dragons, a furious outburst like magma erupting, yet filled with an irresistible kingly aura.

The sky was suddenly covered by lava and crimson lightning. The lightning, accompanied by a rain of fire, mercilessly scorched Iliphis's body, as if it were the end of the world!

The owner of this Dragon Roar did not appear, yet it had already made everyone tremble with fear.

Suddenly, flames erupted, and the crowned giant broke through the clouds, his majestic figure appearing even larger in the mist.

The giant king Yhorm's great machete Heavy Chop, shattering Iliphis's last bit of strength, and the latter was deeply embedded in the cracked ground.

At this moment, those watching the live broadcast were stunned into silence. Lu Lu Wo could barely lift her hand Iliphis had crashed to the ground and said:

"Is it over?"

A piercing buzzing sound suddenly rang out, and endless purple starlight suddenly flowed out from the huge hole that Iliphis had smashed open!

Brilliant, beautiful, and mysterious, yet filled with an eeriness! You can feel the cold aura of the universe in it.

Iliphis's body flew out of the cave. Washed by the purple starlight, he shed his muddy appearance and transformed into a body made of pure starlight, like a visitor from outer space.

His will was now being manipulated by the starlight, and he was no longer in his right mind.

With the right body and the right time, I will once again reconnect with the earth.

Unlike the voice of Iliphis emanating from the starlight body, if Anzi III were here, he might be able to sense that this was the aura of that unknown being!

He, He descended in person?

However, this body is too fragile; it is best to temporarily avoid direct confrontation.

"Iliphis's" body kept flickering, as if he really wanted to escape. He actually had the means to leave the dungeon immediately.

Goodbye, Sain, we will meet again in the future—

"Trying to escape?" Gong Qiying's voice suddenly rang out.

With a whooshing sound, a large arrow, imbued with pale purple magic, pierced through the clouds and instantly pinned Starlight's body to the ground!

[Heh, useless]

Iliphis " was about to mock, the great arrow suddenly unleashed Gravity Magic powerful enough to crush mountains, and his body fell to his knees before him!

[How is that possible? This body is intertwined with the movement of the stars; magic couldn't possibly have any effect on it!]

An unknown entity connects with the earth through meteors. As the stars move, they can connect with the earth. The faster the stars move, the stronger the power that can descend.

[Etc!]

Not only "Iliphis" in the underground city, but even the unknown beings from beyond the heavens expressed extreme doubt.

[The stars... have been stopped?]

"Yes, because I have a general who can seal the stars." Gong Qiying muttered to himself, releasing the last being that had been summoned.

Surprisingly, this person was quite unassuming compared to the previous ones, and people had seen him before.

It is Black Swordsman that can be found in the Catacombs of Carthus.

Bathed in starlight, the Black Swordsman drew his Glavenus Slayer.

Gong Qiying likes symmetry. Since Iliphis Griffith once, let the Black Swordsman finish it off.

The unknown entity controlling "Iliphis" paused for a moment, then turned and looked around the Zane Dungeon, as if trying to memorize it deeply.

Then, He suddenly tilted his head to the side.

The next second, the dazzling starlight faded, and the mud reappeared on Iliphis's body, as if he had fallen from heaven to hell once again.

He opened his eyes in a daze, as if he hadn't quite figured out what was going on.

How did I suddenly get pinned to the ground by a giant arrow? And where did the Black Swordsman come from?

Did I just lose consciousness?

"They just ran away?"

Even Gong Qiying couldn't help but twitch his lips.

He thought that the starlight, which was clearly not of Iliphis's own will, would either fight to the death or make a threat before leaving, so that he could get Starscourge General to come out and show his power.

However, the unknown entity simply vanished, vanished.

"We need to find out who that guy really is."

Gong Qiying waved his hand and removed the great arrow that Iliphis. Although Eliphes was freed from his restraints, he had lost almost all of his abilities and had been burned out.

The mud settled on the ground, and crawling out of it was Iliphis, now half-man, half-eagle, neither human nor demon.

This ugly appearance is quite different from the dashing and debonair image he used to pursue.

He stared at his eerily withered body, his eyes trembling violently, unable to utter a sound, only filled with hatred for the world.

"Sai, Sai'n ahhhh!"

The mud on the ground suddenly transformed into a longsword, which he thrust towards the Black Swordsman with near-madness. This final, desperate burst of power was not to be underestimated; even Elite Monsters would be affected—

"Boom!"

The sound of Iron Ball breaking through the air was heard, followed by the sound of flesh being torn apart.

"Sizzle—"

Iliphis gaped, his body collapsing limply to his knees. He looked at his right hand, the one that had been holding the weapon, along with his shoulder, which had been severed, and deformed internal organs were gushing out of the wound.

The scene before me feels very familiar, just like that moment before.

It seemed to be the same situation when he first fought the Black Swordsman, but the other party only broke his weapon and did not kill him.

It seems Elsa did the same when she fought him? She spared his life, just like the Black Swordsman.

At that moment, the sword finally slashed down at him without holding back.

He collapsed to his knees, powerless. Though the hatred in his heart could burn the world with flames, he could no longer stand up.

Perhaps this is the end for me.

Heh, Sion is very strong. It wouldn't be so bad if he died here.

The Black Swordsman raised his weapon at Iliphis.

Then, he slashed down.

Just then, Gong Qiying saw something in his external body and suddenly muttered to himself:

"It seems like the job of cleaning up the mess should be left to the victims."

Outside, a staggering figure walked into the battlefield.

It is the Hero Elsa.
