It sounded like massive iron blades dragging across slate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dante didn’t look down the tunnel. He looked straight up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cavern ceiling fifty feet above their heads was covered in thick and pulsating purple webbing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The webs were violently shifting. A massive shadow detached itself from the darkness and plummeted toward the stone floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Move,\" Dante barked and shoved Casanova hard in the chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bard went flying backward. He tumbled over a pile of pulverized rock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dante activated [Blink Step]. He teleported thirty feet backward just as the massive entity hit the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impact shook the entire cavern. The stone floor cracked and sent a shockwave of dust and purple mist outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, the creature uncoiled its eight massive and spiked legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a spider. But the Void-Blight had completely corrupted its anatomy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its abdomen was a bloated and glowing sac of highly volatile acid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens of multifaceted black eyes blinked erratically across a face covered in jagged and iron-hard mandibles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Zone Boss Spawn: Blighted Broodmother]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Tier: Silver]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Level: 10 (Void-Blighted)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[HP: 65,000 \u002F 65,000]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Level 10 Silver,\" Casanova gasped from the dirt and scrambled to his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the Void-Blight modifier gives it a 300% stat boost. That thing hits like a Level 30 Gold boss!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Broodmother didn’t wait for them to finish analyzing her stats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She reared back on her hind legs. Her bloated abdomen glowed a sickly neon green. She let out a deafening and ear-piercing screech.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound wave was a physical projectile. It rippled through the air and completely bypassed the standard physics of the cavern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Warning: Sonic Stun Detected.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dante stood his ground. The screech washed over him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system interface flashed red and attempted to apply a ten-second stun debuff to his avatar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, Aura popped out of her pet-space by the shoulder of Dante. The tiny silver fox pulsed with starlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Debuff Negated: Harbinger’s Grace active.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dante didn’t even flinch. But Casanova wasn’t so lucky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bard was standing just outside of the twenty-foot protective radius of Aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The screech hit him, and a massive yellow stun icon appeared over his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Casanova froze completely. His face was locked in an expression of pure terror, and his lute slipped from his fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mandibles of the Broodmother snapped. She opened her mouth and sprayed a massive sweeping wave of dark green acid across the cavern floor. She aimed directly for the paralyzed bard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Idiot,\" Dante muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He triggered [Blink Step]. He vanished and materialized directly in front of Casanova.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dante didn’t try to parry the acid. [Aegis Deflection] was perfect for kinetic impacts, but liquid AoE attacks were incredibly tricky to block fully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he simply planted his feet and raised his arms. He let the [Sun-Forged Cuirass] take the hit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The acid washed over his gold armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It hissed violently. It burned away the purple mist and ate into the stone floor around the boots of Dante.

It dropped by over three thousand points in a single second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The acid was designed to completely melt standard player armor and inflict a lethal damage over time effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the armor of Dante wasn’t standard. His [Aetherial Nectar] buff instantly cleared the lingering burn effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aura chimed, and a pulse of silver light washed over Dante.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Resurgence Wave applied. 4,550 HP Restored.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His health bar instantly refilled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stun icon over the head of Casanova finally shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bard gasped for air and dropped to his knees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the melted stone floor just inches from his boots. Then he looked up at the smoking gold armor of Dante.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You took that hit for me,\" Casanova whispered in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get in the aura range and stay there,\" Dante ordered and did not look back. He drew the [Crimson Edge].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Casanova scrambled to his feet, but he didn’t pull out his lute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the massive 65,000 HP boss. He looked at Dante.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a guy who wore feathered hats and ran from women, a startlingly clear look of tactical awareness crossed his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Big Brother,\" Casanova said. His voice was completely serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The event modifier gives double EXP. If you solo this, the math says you will absorb the entire pool. You need the stats more than I do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dante glanced over his shoulder. \"What are you doing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Casanova brought up his interface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[System Alert: Player ’Casanova’ has left the party.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am giving you the EXP,\" Casanova said. He backed away toward the cavern wall. \"I will stay out of the blast zone. You kill the bug.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dante actually smiled. The bard wasn’t totally useless after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stay behind the rock,\" Dante said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned his full attention back to the Broodmother. The massive spider was circling him. Its eight legs clicked rapidly against the stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The [Crimson Edge] was a fantastic weapon. But Dante knew it would take dozens of Zenith-tier skills to whittle down 65,000 HP.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would burn through his stamina too fast even with the healing of Aura. He needed to end this in one hit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed to test the cursed weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dante sheathed the red broadsword. He held his right hand out and flexed his fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black and jagged brand on his wrist flared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A burst of thick and light-absorbing black smoke erupted from his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smoke rapidly solidified. It formed the massive shape of [Voidsever].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dark bone hilt felt freezing cold in his grip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Weapon Equipped: Voidsever (Incomplete)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Base Attack Power: 1]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Broodmother lunged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She covered the distance in a fraction of a second. She raised two massive and scythe-like front legs to impale him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dante didn’t activate [Blink Step]. He didn’t activate [Aegis Deflection].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system text for [Voidsever] had mentioned a fractional and microscopic chance to trigger [Doom’s Echo].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dante had a theory about cursed weapons in the Zenith Protocol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were inherently parasitical. They fed on conflict, risk, and blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he played it safe, the sword wouldn’t trigger its true potential. He had to feed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He intentionally dropped his guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The right scythe of the Broodmother slammed directly into his left shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kinetic force threw Dante backward. The sharp spike pierced the gap in his gold armor and drove deep into his digital flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Critical Hit Taken: -4,200 HP]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dante hit the ground and skidded across the pulverized stone. His health bar dropped into the yellow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss!\" Casanova yelled from behind his rock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dante planted his boots and dug the tip of Voidsever into the stone to arrest his momentum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Dante took the massive spike of damage, Voidsever reacted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black blade began to vibrate violently in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A low and thrumming sound emanated from the dark metal. It sounded like a beating heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weapon recognized the risk. It tasted the blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Hidden Trait Triggered: Blood-Lust.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Doom’s Echo probability temporarily increased.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There it is,\" Dante gritted his teeth and pulled the sword free from the stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Broodmother shrieked and rushed forward to finish him off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dante stepped into the charge. He gripped Voidsever with both hands and pulled the massive blade back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Skill Executed: Abyssal Cleave]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Talent Activated: 10,000x Multiplier.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spatial fracture condensed along the jagged black edge of Voidsever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t glow. It actively devoured the dim purple light in the cavern and turned the blade into a localized black hole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dante swung horizontally and aimed directly for the massive and glowing abdomen of the spider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade connected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The combat engine of the Zenith Protocol froze for a fraction of a millisecond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Passive Activated: Absolute Severance. 100% Armor Ignored.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Passive Activated: Doom’s Echo.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 100 points of cosmic Luck of Dante combined with the blood-lust trigger to manipulate the microscopic odds perfectly. The cosmic dice rolled in his favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Doom’s Echo Multiplier: 1,000%]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The base attack power of Dante was multiplied by the Zenith-tier 5,000% damage of Abyssal Cleave. It was suddenly multiplied again by 1,000%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The resulting math completely broke the interface of the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black shockwave didn’t just hit the Broodmother. It ripped through her like she was made of wet tissue paper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spatial tear expanded to fifty feet wide. It cleanly severed the massive boss entirely in half!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It continued traveling across the cavern until it carved a massive and perfectly smooth canyon into the far stone wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above the head of the Broodmother, the damage numbers popped up. They were entirely red and glitched with static.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[-1,850,000! OVERKILL!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The top half of the spider slid cleanly off its bottom half. The two pieces hit the ground with a wet and heavy thud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no death animation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The game engine was so overloaded by the raw damage input that it skipped the dying sequence entirely. It instantly converted the corpse into a massive explosion of silver and blue loot polygons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dante stood completely still and lowered Voidsever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black blade was smoking. It radiated an aura of pure and localized destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aura chimed, and a pulse of light restored his missing health.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Target Eliminated: Blighted Broodmother (Level 10 Silver)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Event Modifier Active: 200% EXP Gained.

Then he looked at the massive pile of glowing loot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am never leaving your side,\" Casanova whispered. His voice trembled with sheer awe. \"You are a god.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dante dismissed Voidsever.

Because of the 50% increased drop rate of the event and his own hidden Luck stat, the Broodmother had dropped a small fortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spotted a set of Silver-grade boots, a massive pile of high-tier crafting materials, and a heavy and glowing red staff. He vacuumed it all into his infinite inventory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He found a skillbook sitting near the center of the pile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Item Appraised: Skillbook - Execute]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Tier: Adept]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Description: A brutal finishing strike.
