The entire fortress resounded with the unyielding roars of the Demon Commander, the unwillingness and anger in his voice piercing the ears.

Golden energy sprayed out from his facial features.

Then this gigantic Demon Commander turned into a pile of ash amidst the golden light particles.

"It's the War God, it must be the War God, descending to the human world to help us."

Watching the demon disappear on Kane's Long Spear, all the soldiers were filled with piety and fervor, and many of them directly knelt on the ground.

Even Di Berrio was full of shock. In that former era brimming with heroes, countless heroic ancestors paid with their blood to seal this demon, and it died just like that in the hands of Kane.

Di Berrio was somewhat dazed, stretching out his palm to slap his own face hard, to confirm whether he was deluded by the demon, creating this illusion in his mind.

Sakrem came to the front of his commander and, seeing his behavior, couldn't help but pat his shoulder.

"Commander, you don't have to do this; we have truly won, with the help of the Demon Slayer."

Listening to Sakrem's words, Di Berrio couldn't help but relax, and his face became somewhat aged.

Yes, since he came to this Volcano Fortress at the age of sixteen, his entire life has been spent fighting against the demons.

No leisure for love and romance, no time to enjoy life, his entire life spent striving to defeat the demons.

No descendants, for these soldiers and subordinates who accompanied him were his children.

Over a hundred years of long-term defense finally saw its end today.

"Hahaha...! Yes! We've finally won, Chakli, An Zeqi, Spectanx... did you see it? Those demons are dead! We've won!"

Ignoring his image, Di Berrio knelt on the ground, raised his hands, and shouted to the sky.

Sakrem, knowing what the elder had gone through, just silently accompanied him by his side.

...

Kane and the others arrived at the site of the Volcano Fortress, in the Mage Tower that had been floating in the air.

Looking at the densely runed door in front of them, flickering with a blue light, Di Berrio stepped forward.

With a series of complicated actions and verbal passwords.

The door finally rumbled open to the sides.

"Follow me, everyone."

They entered the deep tunnel and proceeded towards the depths.

The walls were dotted with transparent gemstones that emitted light, illuminating the tunnel, while also maintaining a certain concentration of magic power in the inner space.

They finally arrived in a spacious hall, surrounded by dozens of stone statues.

The stone tablets beneath the statues detailed the figures' deeds, with a transparent showcase below containing magical equipment that could be passed onto generations.

As Kane and the others entered this space, there seemed to be some kind of resonance.

They dispersed and followed the guidance toward different statues.

The statue in front of Kane was a human archer wearing some kind of lens equipment.

Kane looked at the stele below.

[Midirich Rake]

[The freest wind in the legion, his arrows always struck the weakest points of those demons, killing countless enemies in his life, he held the fortress until the last moment.]

Looking at the magical equipment in the showcase below.

This was likely the archer's glasses, with a lens embedded in dark green metal, suspended in mid-air.

[Precise Perception]

[Glasses]

[Color: Silver]

[Attributes:]

[Increases field of view]

[Increases dynamic vision]

[Skill: Perception] (Costs magic power, allowing you to see the enemy's weak points. The stronger the enemy, the fewer weak points seen. Attacking weak points will cause massive damage.)

[Introduction: Lenses made from the crystal shell of the Bloodbane Scorpion, forged through a magical ceremony, allowing one to see the weaknesses of life.]

Following the guidance, indeed, I found the equipment most suitable for myself. This should also be one of the hidden rewards for clearing the dungeon.

Of course, it wasn't just Kane; everyone else also received a piece of equipment very suitable for them.

Kreya obtained a silver Long Spear with a powerful armor-piercing effect and the ability to automatically return.

Lilulu acquired a ring, which came with a shield and increased magic damage.

Longbei got a pair of leg armor, featuring a passively steadfast skill.

[Unyielding] (Makes your footing steady, making it extremely difficult to topple or retreat.)

Meizike acquired a pharmacist kit, helping him quickly make potions and enhance their success rate.

Among these heroes, one was once this world's Master of Potions.

"How about it? Aren't these equipment from the heroic ancestors impressive? It's a pity that few can earn their recognition to obtain this equipment. Of course, for you, it's just a piece of cake."

Di Berrio said to everyone who had acquired the equipment.

Kane smiled and shook his head, saying, "Not at all; we should thank you for providing these excellent equipment, which will allow us to enhance our strength once again."

"Compared to the help you provided us, this equipment is insignificant, hardly worth comparing."

Kane smiled and said no more, following Di Berrio out of the Mage Tower.

Standing outside the tower, lifting his head to look at the bright sky.

"Are you all ready?" Kane turned to his teammates behind him, it was time to leave this dungeon.

The teammates behind him all nodded.

Then the entire world seemed to fall into a time stop, the drifting breeze appeared frozen in the air, clouds, and sun in the sky no longer moved, Di Berrio beside him just began to lift his right leg.

Watching this scene, Kane and the others vanished into the air.

On the Teleportation Platform of the Mist Watch Station, Kane and the others suddenly appeared.

It was nighttime outside, the sky filled with stars, and the moon was no longer a half-red crescent but a full moon shimmering with a ghostly blue glow, serene and elegant.

As soon as they steadied their steps, Kane noticed something unusual on his arm.

Pulling up his sleeve, he saw the golden-green thorny pattern on his wrist start extending up his arm, reaching up to his shoulder.

Now it was time for Kane to fulfill his promise.

This scenario had long been anticipated by Kane, he thought it would appear when they cleared the dungeon, not expecting Finaris' vow to be fulfilled only after leaving the dungeon.

Releasing his sleeve again.

Breathing the fresh air long missed outside the dungeon.

This time, they had spent quite some time in the dungeon, and stepping out brought a feeling of ages having passed.

Shaking his head with a smile, he followed his teammates into the nearby city.

First, return to the inn they were at before, open a room again to rest for the night, and then think about the next steps.
