BOOOM!


    The entire floor trembled as if afraid of something.


    Dark golden light enveloped Gracier like a cocoon for a moment. When the dark gold cocoon disappeared, Gracier reappeared; she had be taller, with dark gold dragon horns, a long dragon tail cker than the night itself, and her eyes were dark gold. Her whole body was covered in dark dragon scale; it was frightening yet beautiful.


    With a grin that revealed her canines, she said.


    ''''Shall we kill each other?"


    The Earth Golem, even without not possessing intelligence like other species, had something every other species had, the survival instinct. The moment she saw the transformed Gracier, she knew she was dangerous and could be destroyed if she was not careful enough.


    There was a saying that in a situation like this, the best defense was offense, so the Earth Golem went on the offensive; the whole floor was like her domain. With a simple thought, many earth spikes shot out from the ground at incredible speed toward the dragonified Gracier; the earth spikes wereing from all sides, so normally, it should have been impossible to defend against something like that unless the opponent was too strong.


    However, facing dozens of earth spikes trying to turn into porcupines, Gracier was eerily calm. She lifted her foot ever so lightly and stomped on the ground.


    ''''This should do.''''


    BOOM!


    With that casual stomp, the ground was leveled up, and the recoil of the stomp crushed the iing earth spikes.


    Although surprised the Earth Golem had expected something like that, she had already moved on to her next attack; she somersaulted in the air and created a gigantic mace which was directed towards Gracier''s head; she stood still and waited until the giant mace was above her head before punching it, her punch was super fast only the shadow of this punch was seen.


    Crack! Boom!


    Numerous cracks appeared on the giant mace before it was broken into pieces.


    This attack was faint; the real attack came soon after the giant earth mace broke into pieces; those pieces transformed into chains that restrained Gracier''s movements, and she did nothing to stop them.


    As if she had been waiting for this asion, the earth golem appeared with something around her fists; if Alex or any of those from Earth were here, there would have identified the thing around the Earth Golem''s fists as American brass knuckles.


    But even when facing this attack, Gracier was still calm, as if nothing could reach her, as if nothing could surprise her. She appeared like an omnipotent being that had already thought of all possibilities; she was ying along.


    ''''I think that is enough for a warmup.'''' When Gracier opened her mouth, those were the words she uttered; immediately, the earth golem knew she had fallen into a trap and tried to fall back, but unexpectedly it was Gracier''s head that attacked her; it was an unavoidable headbutt.


    BANG!


    The Earth Golem''s skull almost cracked as she was sent flying dozens of meters back.


    Crack! Boom!


    During that time, Gracier easily broke apart the chains restraining her. The Earth Golem who heard this tried to search for her with her earth pulse; it was akin to presence detection but more advanced, she could read the earth''s pulse to locate any foreign presence except for her, but she was unable to locate Gracier after she destroyed the chains restraining her.


    ''''!!!!"


    The next moment the Earth Golem''s eyes widened; she tried to put a shield around her body because Gracier wearing a smile, appeared before her like a phantom.


    Everything was happening at speed impossible to describe; with a godly speed, Gracier reached her instantaneously.


    "Time to get serious; I don''t know if you can survive, though as I''m still learning, this form is new to me, you see."


    Turning around in a sh, she fiercely smashed her fist covered in dragon''s scale into the earth golem''s chest.


    BOOOOM


    A world-ending st urred, turning into a gigantic mushroom cloud.


    The Earth Golem flew to the other side of the fifteenth floor.


    Simultaneously, ck mes swirling with golden me rippled outwards as shockwaves trying to swallow the earth golem; she immediately conjured a thick wall made of the earth around her body before getting swallowed by the ck me.


    Kabooooom!


    Her surrounding was transformed into magma by the ck me, while more than half of the thick wall was reduced intova alongside half of her body.


    The Earth Golem could be seen half kneeling, however, her ruby-like eyes never lost their luster as she red at Gracier floating in the air like a goddess of me.


    Gracier was surprised that the boss was still alive after that attack; she had put everything she had into that attack, especially thatst attack. Thebination of her dragon mode and her dark mode resulted in this frightening form where she could freely control her dark side; naturally, she was more powerful than in her normal dragon form. It would not be an understatement to say that in this form, she wasparable to low-rank Demigod but even, so a level 130 boss survived.


    This made Gracier question her assumption, and she decided to finish the fight when suddenly all the floor vibrated, starting from the ground to the wall and then the ceiling.


    [Careful!!] Ignia, who rarely intervenes in her fight, couldn''t stay still as she warned Gracier, who immediately jumped back but still received an injury; she could not see what injured her, just that it was something swift.


    ''''What was that?" Gracier questioned, but before she could further ponder about what happened, the remaining body of the Earth Golem disappeared and got assimted with the ground before those vibrations stopped, and immediately Gracier, who was floating in the air, got mmed into the ground.


    BAM!


    She was violently mmed against the ground, and she was unable to lift even a muscle; Gracier''s sturdy dragon''s scales started to break apart slowly. She felt like her entire body was falling apart; the gravitational force trying to reduce her body into a meat past was so strong. Like nothing she had ever experienced, the whole floor was turned into a gravitational field.


    [Pull yourself together, or else you will die.] Ignia''s voice awakened her, her consciousness was slowly living her body, her right hand was reduced to dust, and her left foot was soon about to follow. She was bleeding from her seven orifices, and Gracier knew if nothing were done, she would meet her demise here.


    She would have never expected to meet such a strong opponent here; it seemed that after this floor, there weren''t any more floors; the boss of the fifteenth floor was the ultimate boss; it was why she could do something like this, turning the whole floor into a gravitational field thrice Mysthia''s gravitational force.


    ''''Ugh!'''' Gracier vomited blood trying to lift her head but was unable to do so, and to make matters worse, her fear mode was getting canceled, which meant the moment that happened, she would be reduced to dust in an instant.


    Gracier started to think about a possible solution to escape her current predicament; she thought about using the ck me. Still, with her current MP, she couldn''t use it, so she must find another solution.


    She closed her eyes and thought when suddenly she remembered that she was the Lord of hundred mes; she could use this to her advantage. Spreading her dragon''s sense, she scanned the room in search of mes to use.


    mes are everywhere like the air, like mana; you just had to find the right one; suddenly, she found two mes, one blue while the other was crimson, and without hesitation, she called the two using the dragon tongue.


    ''''Combine dragon me."


    Using thest bit of the mana she had, shebined the abundance of blue and crimson me into one me, a purple me.


    As the Lord of hundred mes, she ordered.


    ''''If you turn the whole floor into your domain, I just have to burn the whole floor: Cosmic Fire!"


    Siiiiiiii!


    Kabooooom!


    Like gasoline ignited by a me, the whole floor was set aze by the purple me; the cosmic fire traveled until the dungeon core burned everything on its path. In an instant, the whole dungeon was leveling up; it was the first time something like this was happening in the empire.


    In the destroyed dungeon, a one-armed Gracier was lying unconscious with a window floating above her head.


    [Mid Level dungeon cleared: + 1 Level


    Cosmic Fire


    Seal lifted!!!!!!]


    Alex, who happened to have woken up at that moment, ran to the scene to see his sister lying unconscious in the middle of the now destroyed dungeon.


    ''''What the fuck is that?'''' While taking Gracier with him, he was surprised to see the window floating above her sister; he was sure he was not the only one that saw it, he wondered what the hell was happening, but for now, he must leave to treat his sister.


    ''''Let''s go!" Alex said to Leon and others who had arrived.
