Chapter 93: Fragment of the Devil King's Divine Ability

Boom—

The world's shaking began again.

"Hah… hah…"

Bolanke, panting heavily, struggled to hide more securely under the thick branches beneath the big tree.

He hoped those constantly falling rock fragments would avoid him.

That way he could better recover his injuries.

Now Bolanke lacked the elegance and composure of the transcendent swordsman he once was.

"The genius swordsman" bears no resemblance to his current sorry state.

A wandering, fugitive swordsman is the true portrait.

At the same time.

The sword blade left its sheath, letting out a keen hum.

Ta Ke surveyed the darkness before him, speaking with interest.

Strangely, the pit bottom and slope were both large clumps of condensed hexagonal earth‑stone blocks.

Ta Ke nodded.

Even if turned into a sheep, he could still resist.

"Ding! Current environment detected rich in source energy; about to enter the 【Rapid Development】 state!"

The next moment, Bolanke felt the world expand again.

"Even… no matter which world layer they are in now, I can see them, after all…"

"That Feili Buluo is retaining his strength—how is he not!"

"If I were here to take your life, you'd already be dead."

Fatigue and exhaustion are merely a disguise.

He opened his mouth.

Along with the undulation of the world layer.

The good place Ta Ke spoke of is nearby.

Ta Ke waved his hand, dispelling Bolanke's sheep‑transformation technique.

Even if he is injured, the strength and stability of the transcendent swordsman's physiology remain.

He suppressed the killing intent in his heart.

Wind vortices coalesced around Ta Ke.

Even while being treated, Bolanke still gripped his sword with one hand.

Bolanke raised his brow.

"Even far more than when I received the source energy baptism at the Steam High Tower."

Bolanke surveyed the darkness, his eyes unusually bright.

"Source energy nest! The hub where energy converges."

On the vast, dark wasteland.

Feeling the long‑absent growth period, Ta Ke let out a long breath.

Immediately, Ta Ke stepped into it.

"I can't even be sure now whether you're here to cooperate or to take my life."

"Did you see too quickly? I used to trust my intuition and insight, but sometimes intuition deceives."

That is, how Ta Ke precisely found him.

"You… how did you become like this?"

Ta Ke raised his head and looked toward the sky.

"At the right time and place, jump into the battle, clean up the aftermath, snag the heads, become the last winner of this team fight—doesn't that sound great?"

"How long will it take you to recover?" Ta Ke asked softly.

Even before death, the enemy broke through defenses—enough to make someone happy for a whole year.

…………

Ordinary mages cannot possibly turn it into a sheep.

In the depths of this pitch‑black, desolate wasteland, they instantly turned hostile and began to fight.

"The efficiency of acquiring source‑energy experience is astonishing."

But Ta Ke's sheep‑transformation technique silently permeated the framework of his transcendent swordsman's physiology; by the time he reacted, it was already too late.

After all, just do as Ta Ke said.

On the axe, a cyan transcendent gleam surged back and forth, moreover sweeping with tremendous power.

"Otherwise! You think I found you how?"

"I'm exhausted."

"This bull has been chasing me for an hour."

Ta Ke's eyes narrowed slightly.

"It's me!"

He tore open a healing scroll; green light slowly flowed into his body, mending his wounds.

"Clang!"

"At the Steam High Tower I used pulse contact, not a formal entry into a source‑energy‑rich environment; the later baptism was precise drip irrigation, and the surrounding source energy was not considered rich."

"But when I truly entered a source‑energy‑rich environment,"

……

They are in another direction.

Just as Ta Ke was pondering how long he could spend here absorbing source energy experience.

Ta Ke suddenly realized.

The bloodthirsty savage ox leader, a natural 'blood ox,' and its extraordinary sequence crystal.

If you join now, it will only let them immediately redirect their firepower onto you.

Even the bloodthirsty savage ox leader, who has completely lost his reason, pays no heed.

"Jie La De is one of your friends."

This place where source energy is extremely condensed is a perfect setting for 【rapid development】!

At this moment, Ta Ke smiled without saying a word.

Watching Jie La De down his drink, Fei Li·Bu Luo acted without hesitation.

Bo Lan Ke raised the nightmare horse lamp in his hand as high as possible.

At this moment, Bo Lan Ke had lost a trace of the arrogance of his former extraordinary genius swordsman, gaining more coldness and steadiness.

It can also be used as life material.

"Huh..."

"Source energy is abundant; if we can occupy this place for a long time, it is absolutely the perfect spot to build a tower."

Finally, with a 'boom'.

"Yes!"

Afterward, Ta Ke glanced at Bo Lan Ke, whose thoughts of revenge were extremely strong at that moment.

"This direction?"

"They probably haven't come after us."

The arc blade first flickered with a sizzle.

The two walked out, one after the other.

The information in the development log gradually appeared.

He, who was highly tense, overlooked a fatal problem.

Boom—...

"Believe me!" Ta Ke's tone was calm, like the deep ocean.

But Jie La De was a nimble roll, dodging the magical attack; the wine bag, enveloped by the magic, was torn to shreds.

"Alright, once you recover, we... will go back and fight!"

"Ding! Gained source energy experience 1.5."

The opponent's sheep transformation technique was especially strange and powerful.

Footsteps sounded in the darkness.

What they saw was only the cold night.

Bone-deep experience always lets people grow faster!

"Are those two just in this wasteland layer domain?"

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have been chased by them across two layer domains."

The sheep's cry followed.

It now has only one purpose: to dry to death that damned source energy warrior.

This is a large pit that isn't too steep.

It is one of the excellent materials for a wizard's promotion.

"Not necessarily!"

Bo Lan Ke looked toward Ta Ke.

Ta Ke's voice came from the darkness.

The undulation of the layer domain swept in.

"Moreover... I also don't know if they have come after us."

"That guy called Fei Li·Bu Luo is very problematic!"

Some things can only be understood after experiencing them.

Wanting to find a person is extremely difficult.

"The world here is really small."

After alchemy, it can also be used as 'source energy material'.

"Jie La De and the Fei Li·Bu Luo from your La Mo Er have teamed up."

Before the next round of the layer domain's undulation arrives.

No!

It is himself shrinking.

"But the layer domain just undulated, and those two are still fighting; they won't be able to run away for a while."

Ta Ke raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the surroundings, then he shook his head.

The first to come over was Bo Lan Ke, whose injuries had recovered.

In this dark, misty, constantly undulating layer domain's gigantic labyrinth lies the demon king's tomb.

Not only can it kill people, but it can also exterminate their hearts.

Take's words made Bolanke's heart shudder violently.

「The source energy experience gained here is quite abundant. 」

Take's words made Bolanke feel somewhat moved.

「That Fei Li·Bu Luo is strange; you might not even be able to surely defeat him, let alone the two of them teaming up. 」

「Come on, let's go check out that interesting place of yours. 」

The long-awaited system prompt sounded familiarly beside Take's ear.

Bolanke stared deeply at Take for a moment before sheathing his extraordinary long sword.

The world began to shake.

「Jie La De? 」

「But unfortunately, we're just passing by; this place doesn't hold much significance for us. 」

「If they appear around here, I will 'see' them at the first moment. 」

The next moment, the burly Jie La De strode forward.

Inside the Wasteland Human-Face Stone Statue Formation.

「Half an hour is enough. 」

「Baa…」

The Bloodthirsty Barbarian Ox Chief didn't know how many times it had flung that damned source energy warrior away.

In an instant, it expanded to its maximum, enveloping Jie La De.

「No…… I discovered a very interesting place in this direction. 」

Take, holding a horse lantern emitting eerie red-black light, rushed into his field of view.

Sitting on the ground, his face pale, legs trembling, Jie La De gasped heavily, and besides, he took out wine and gulped it down.

「If possible, please help me keep watch around. 」

Bolanke, following Take's gaze, adjusted the horse lantern to a direction.

The wizard and warrior who had just teamed up and fought side by side.

「Yes, that's why I ended up so seriously injured. 」 Bolanke's tone was slightly indifferent.

「From beginning to end, I have been meticulously perceiving this world. 」

After sitting up again, Bolanke, who was beginning to recover, took a deep breath and began to speak.

And Fei Li·Bu Luo, meanwhile, was somewhat greedily eyeing this powerful chief, or rather, the spoils.

The Bloodthirsty Barbarian Ox Chief, under a barrage of magical bombardment, collapsed to the ground, on the brink of death.

Even if that damned wizard behind it kept attacking it incessantly.

This had already caused the ox chief to frenziedly lose its reason.

Take sized up Bolanke, who was half-covered in blood stains and disheveled clothing.

But the source energy warrior, like an indestructible cockroach, could always climb back up after rolling several times.

Having suffered a blood loss once and nearly dying here, Bolanke was especially careful.

Not long after.

Just a distance of a hundred meters.

「Ding! Obtained source energy experience 1.5. 」

A Bloodthirsty Barbarian Ox Chief the size of a small hill was fervently chasing a source energy warrior wielding a battle axe.

Moreover, a rich source energy surged within it.

Moreover, the source energy warrior's constant provocation kept enraging the Bloodthirsty Barbarian Ox Chief.

A special notification made Take's heart jolt suddenly.

「Ding! Devil King's Divine Ability Fragment *1. 」

Devil King's Divine Ability?

The legendary dungeon devil king's one-of-a-kind 'Devil King's Divine Ability'?

This can also be produced?

For a moment, Take stood like a statue, silently examining the system's brand-new product.
