?


    It was a scene of unparalleled terror, akin to a mortal purgatory.


    Chaotic noises filled Ethan''s head, causing the veins in his temples to throb violently.


    Even with his mighty mental strength, he nearly lost himself to madness.


    It would be no surprise if the Heroes in the mine had been driven to hysteria by this attack.


    "Everyone, get out of here!" Ethan roared, charging straight at the demon before him.


    "You actually withstood my mental decay?" Alback''s eyes were filled with astonishment as he slowly floated into the air, a dreadful wave of mana instantly erupting from his body.


    The terrifying ck mist immediately swept through the underground city, a powerful demon aura surging like the apocalypse itself, countless ghostly shadows instantly engulfing the entire underground city.


    Within the mine, a right arm holding a ck de slowly floated in, followed by a purple-red heart.


    The Mana Crystal fragments before him shattered into countless shards, and his mutted corpse slowly converged in mid-air, forming a body covered in horrific cracks.


    "Sealed away for so many ages..."


    "It''s infuriating!"


    "Though the energy I''ve absorbed is insufficient to fully revive me, crushing you, this weak insect, is more than enough!"


    The ancient devil swung his right arm, and the ck mist-formed skull pounced at Ethan.


    Ethan snorted coldly, charging forward with his Dragon yer Spear, which erupted in a dazzling light, as if forged from gold.


    "Boom..." The skull hit the Dragon yer Spear and instantly broke into endless fragments and vanished.


    "Holy Light?"


    The ancient devil''s pupils constricted, seemingly taken aback that Ethan could destroy his technique.


    For demons, Holy Light was their most detested force.


    "Die!" the ancient devil roared, the ck mist behind him rapidly converging ahead, rolling and forming a giant w aimed at Ethan.


    Ethan swung his Dragon yer Spear forcefully, and countless golden rays behind him rapidly circled, infusing him with Holy Light.


    His body glimmered in a golden hue, swelling instantly, transforming him into a towering figure over three meters tall within the blink of an eye.


    This was a technique he had learned in his battle with the Dwarf King, whose godlike posture had once given him quite the challenge.


    Holding the Dragon yer Spear with one hand, Ethan swept it horizontally, sending the giant w flying.


    "Hmm?!"


    The ancient devil was taken aback, the intensity of the Holy Light exceeding his expectations.


    His usually confident strike was unexpectedly repelled with ease by this ''insect'' before him.


    "It seems I''ve underestimated you!" The ancient devil''s eyes were icy, his wordsden with chilling intent, as the dense ck mist swirled around him.


    "Enough talk, fight!" Ethan''s body slightly bent, his feet stomping heavily, as he charged towards the ancient devil, who responded without any sign of weakness.


    Bang, bang, bang!


    The man and the demon began to battle in the air, Alback''s ck de erupting with terrifying shes against the Dragon yer Spear.


    Each of Alback''s attacks caused massive tremors, the entire space quaking along with their shes.


    Boom!


    With a deafening sound, the two fearsome weapons collided and suddenly began to auto-revive, bursting with horrifying glows.


    Alback''s ck de was knocked flying by Ethan''s spear, and the Dragon yer Spear was also sent flying due to the enormous recoil.


    The two weapons transformed into red and ck glows, automatically colliding in mid-air.


    "A semi-divine artifact? I never thought I would receive such a gift upon my revival!"


    "After devouring this weapon, the ck de might ascend to a divine artifact..." Alback let out a sinisterugh, as his four arms suddenly lunged towards Ethan.


    The ancient devil and Ethan exchanged punches, each collision erupting with terrifying power, as if threatening to destroy the very fabric of space!


    The ck mist entwining the ancient devil and the golden light around Ethan shed against each other, creating a crackling noise.


    Bang!


    The ancient devil collided with Ethan once again, creating a wild gust that swept through the surroundings, causing the entire underground city to hum and tremble!


    Ethan was sent flying dozens of meters by a punch from the ancient devil, leaving a depression in the wall behind him as bricks and stones flew everywhere.


    The wall behind the ancient devil exploded, shaking the ground as though it was about to copse.


    "Such incredible strength; I''m actually at a disadvantage!"


    Ethan thought, astonished at how formidable the ancient devil''s power was, considering that his true form was a giant dragon.


    This demon''s prowess was already so terrifying even before hisplete revival.


    If he were to awaken fully, it would be a catastrophic disaster for the entire world.


    The ancient devil sneered, "Not bad, boy. To think you could hold your own against a great devil like me. But is that all you''ve got?"


    Ethan exhaled and replied coldly, "I hope when my spear pierces through your skull, you''ll still be able to talk so tough."


    With a wave of his hand, the Dragon yer Spear returned to him, and the Holy Light within Ethan suddenly swelled.


    Countless streams of Holy Light surged out, imbuing the Dragon yer Spear with a brilliant golden glow, enveloping it as though mes were burning.<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    The Dragon yer Spear let out a dragon''s roar, and a coiling ck dragon shadow appeared on the spear''s body.


    It writhed and twisted, lifelike as though a living being, and suddenly the dragon opened its eyes, charging at the ancient devil with a ferocious roar.


    "A divine artifact with a sentient spirit?! Boy, I didn''t expect you to prepare such a generous gift for me! Hahaha!"


    The ancient devilughed loudly, gripping the ck de with all four arms, his demonic aura surging and concentrating on the de''s body.


    In an instant, the ck de glowed with divine light, filled with a demonic aura, and exploded with a terrifying sh.


    The de was covered with mysterious runes, its terrifying power even causing space to distort.


    The ancient devil raised the ck de, shing down.


    At this moment, the ancient devil seemed to merge with the ck de.


    Boom!


    The dragon''s shadow and the ck de collided, creating a terrifying booming sound, and at the point of collision, a strange ck hole appeared, as though it wanted to devour everything in the world.


    The ck hole collided and then exploded, a terrifying ck ring instantly crushing everything in its path, and the underground city waspletely destroyed by this dreadful strike!


    Both figures were thrown back several hundred meters before they could steady themselves.


    The ancient devil stood panting in ce, thatst strike having consumed much of his strength.


    Ethan steadied himself, his face etched with concentration as he stared at the ancient devil.


    That one attack made it clear to Ethan that, if the ancient devil were at his peak, his power would absolutely surpass Ethan''s, and not by just a little!


    But the ancient devil hadn''t fully recovered yet, and this was the best chance to kill him...


    "Young man!" the ancient devil red at Ethan darkly, "You are more formidable than I imagined, forcing me to go all out! The power of Holy Light is indeed detestable!"


    "Today, I will leave you here forever," Ethan said, as Holy Light continually flowed from him, healing the wounds he had sustained.


    "Heh, you are but a human, daring to challenge the demon race."


    "When I kill you and take your soul, you''ll know what true fear is!" the ancient devil, now referred to as Alback, holding the ck de, strode toward Ethan.


    "Oh? I''ll be watching!" Ethan sneered, holding the Dragon yer Spear, a terrifying force erupting from his body as he charged at the ancient devil.


    Both figures were sent flying hundreds of meters before they managed to steady themselves.


    The ancient devil stood, catching his breath; thatst blow had taken a lot out of him.


    Ethan regained his footing, his face a mask of concentration as he fixed his gaze on the ancient devil.


    That single strike had been a revtion.


    If the ancient devil were at his full strength, he would have been far more powerful than Ethan!


    But the ancient devil hadn''t fully awakened, and this was Ethan''s best opportunity to strike...


    "Boy!" the ancient devil looked at Ethan with a sinister re, "You''re tougher than I thought, forcing me to use all my strength! The power of the Holy Light, how I loathe it!"


    "Today, you''ll remain here forever," Ethan said, as Holy Light emanated from him, healing his wounds.


    "Heh, you''re just a human, foolishly thinking you can oppose the demons."


    "When I kill you and take your soul, then you''ll know what real fear is!" Alback, holding the ck de, charged towards Ethan.


    "Oh? I''m looking forward to it!" Ethan retorted, gripping the Dragon yer Spear, and unleashing a formidable force as he lunged at the ancient devil.


    The ancient devil wielded the ck de, cleaving the heavens with one strike, as though ripping the sky itself, a terrifying force directed straight at Ethan.


    ng, ng, ng!


    The ancient devil and Ethan shed, their fierce battle sending shockwaves throughout the entire underground city, causing it to quake violently.


    Bothbatants were unleashing their full strength.


    Each of the ancient devil''s attacks was monumental and forceful, seeming as though it could shred anything in its way, and his ck de appeared as though it could annihte all.


    Ethan, on the other hand, fought back with finesse, using the Dragon yer Spear, which was longer than the ck de.


    He skillfully deflected much of the force and quickly counterattacked.


    The duel was intense, and the ancient devil grew increasingly astonished.


    Ethan''s remarkable strength at such a young age was holding him in a deadlock, even against a demon!


    If Ethan were allowed to continue to grow...


    "Holy Light must be forever erased from this world!" Alback roared, unleashing his full might, his aura bing unrivaled.


    The terrifying demon aura turned into streams of ck mist, circling around him, giving him the appearance of a true Devil.


    Simultaneously, an endless surge of ck mist erupted from his body, and Alback vanished without a trace.


    Ethan shut his eyes, carefully tuning into the area saturated with ck mist.


    Suddenly, the ancient devil''s chillingughter echoed in his ears: "Haha... Foolish human, it''s futile. You can''t find me! In my devil realm, I am the supreme ruler!"


    "Heart-digging w!"


    A raspy, ear-piercing shriek sounded from behind Ethan.


    A ck demon aura materialized suddenly, forming razor-sharp ws reaching for Ethan''s heart!
