Chapter 608: 608

"What’s the deal with Zurak? From where did you bring him?"

Wolfram stared at the king, who was over 3 meters tall and looked different than any Race he had seen . Unlike the previous two enemies, the Incompetent King is someone Leiu personally brought and put on the 9th floor, assuring his brother that it’s the right opponent for the contestants .

"Is he some kind of acquaintance? He’s dead though so it’s not possible..."

"Teacher, what do you mean he’s dead?"

Saly, who didn’t comprehend his words, asked her not-so-king teacher . After all, Zurak was currently fighting Arthur and the rest and he clearly looked very alive .

"Well, most enemies inside the towers and... well, copied fragments . "

The white-haired beastmen wagged her tail while furrowing her brows, still not understanding .

The Trickster rubbed her fluffy white ears while explaining: "Copied fragments are generated copies of past individuals or things . Their attitude and strength is maintained but not all memories remain, it’s basically related to luck . Sometimes they keep everything and sometimes they’re like empty shells meant for fighting . Non-playable-characters... something like those things?"

"Then are there enemies that kept their memories?"

"Yeah... dear old Pride and venomous Lust are locked in here . "

Surprised, Saly glanced at Leiu before asking, with a much lower voice: "B-but, aren’t they already dead?"

"They’re ’supposedly’ dead but your uncle is a vengeful person . Death is the easy-way out for his enemies, hahahaha"

Whatever Zurak did, it made him recover within seconds and continue to wreak havoc amongst the contestants . He’s entered an enraged state and started sweeping left and right, blasting anyone who got close, basically forcing all the melee-fighters to stay back .

It fell to the long-ranged ones to finish the king, who was targeting anyone who got close . Having a vast arsenal of skills, Arthur stood at a safe distance with Lucy and bombarded Zodiak with all kinds of skills . Detonators had no effect but Dark Magic would slow down the target’s movements, rendering him vulnerable to other spells . As for Lucy, she made great use of her nine ice lotuses, which were sharper than a sword and deadlier than a bomb . Like annoying flies, they flew around Zurak, slowly covering him in ice while also dealing a decent amount of damage .

The fight continued for another twenty minutes and when the king was about to heal himself again, Arthur unleashed the stored Dark Rizaki . The amount the spatial dimension vanished, the whole floor was covered in an ominous darkness, alarming every one but Lucy and Zodiak .

"Get away!"

Boltz, the guy who masted the Earth Magic, invoked his unbreakable earth armor and retreated to the edge of arena . Most people readied themselves and defended against what’s about to come because they knew how troublesome Dark Magic is . The only one who wasn’t worried was Zodiak, who chuckled and retrieved a talisman, throwing it in the air .

Slowly but surely, the darkness started gradually disappearing or rather, focusing on a small point in front of the frozen Zurak . Before he let out Rizaki, Arthur made sure to lock down the king using his Eye’s time-stopping ability, which costs a lot but has a very good effect and a decent duration .

By the time Rizaki explodes, the king won’t be able to escape nor heal himself . In just a few seconds, the dark magic was sucked into a small ball of darkness which vibrated for a brief moment then exploded . The devastation it brought was nothing to scoff at, the red earth beneath their feet turned jet black, the blinding canopy was replaced by a looming darkness, and the target itself was devoured by Dark Magic, leaving only his upper body and his two arms intact .

"The hell! No need to sink us all with him!"

Hach’ara lashed out at Arthur while spitting blood on the ground and making his insects eat the Dark Magic inside his body .

"As flashy as ever . "

Forne commented while glancing at the immobile Zurak, who looked dead . His aura was still present, which confused a lot of the contestants . There was one particular person who was surprised by the overpowered Rizaki that Arthur just cast .

She looked at Arthur, who reminded her of Zaarae, the Parasite Empress .

"A strong skill but takes too much time, what a shame..." She let out a sigh and looked at the sky, from which a meteor-like things was falling towards them . Whatever it was, it slowed down before reaching the ground and struck the motionless Zurak, who didn’t react at all . Upon a closer look, it was a white and golden spear that looked different . It had three spiky tips, each in the form of a dragon and each with a unique color: Red, gold, and black .

"Ugh, is he still not dead?"

Celes has had enough of this tiring fight and wasn’t particularly fond of prolonged battles like this one . Moreso in this case, where she can’t get close to the opponent to be able to affect him with her Death Physique .

"Not quite . "- ’X’

"You don’t say . . "-Celes

Zurak, who should not be able to move due to losing his waist and two legs, suddenly grasped the spear and wildly roared . A golden light covered and healed his body yet again, recovering him to his peak state .

Before anyone could do anything, three transparent dragons flew from the left, right, and front of the king . They weren’t that big but each carried a pure type of energy .

The red one left a trail of red fire while the golden dragon spat dozens of light lances, however, the black dragon was odd as it dove onto the blackened ground . Whatever it tried to do, it was unsuccessful as a second after it vanished into the ground, you could hear its miserable cries while it’s being consumed by the dense Dark Magic still lingering underground .

The Void Behemoth jumped to intercept the golden dragon, it faced it head-on and even got struck but wasn’t injured . Its body let out a purple burst of Void Magic that devoured the head of the golden dragon, extinguishing it . The only remaining dragon was pulverized by Losha’s diamond fist, who continued all the way to Zurak .

The king was way taller than the reincarnator, moreover, he was prepared to counter-attack . He stabbed his spear at Losha, clashing it with her unbreakable and unstoppable fist . At first, there was a brief stalemate before she was pushed back, a small trace of blood leaking out of her hand though Zurak didn’t fare well either as he was hit by multiple attacks while he was busy dealing with the reincarnator .
