Dungeon of Pride, Laplace

Chapter 906- Lava Magic, Spatial Strength

"Huff, it looks like he finally managed to grasp some of the mysteries of his left eye" Irene commented. Out of the three, she was the only one who perceived what happened.

Simon's left eye that he brought back from the Auction of the Damned, the eye called the Celestial Ocularis was finally displaying a portion of its incredible abilities.

The ability to instantly swap places with two targets in a specific range… [Swap]. That was the ability of the eye.

It was no wonder that the three kings as powerful as they were, are unable to figure out the way Simon escaped from their attacks twice.

With this ability of the Celestial Ocularis, he changed places with the finger of Ozymandias at the very last second thus avoiding all damage that should have been suffered by him after taking on that attack.

That being said, [Swap] was just one of the abilities of the celestial ocularis. If he could master all of them, then handling the three kings would be child's play for him.

"Hehe, I don't understand but it's the master we are talking about, anything is possible for him" Bea added enamoured by his pompous and bold attitude.

Haaaa!!

 "This is a hassle, come at me all together". The MK3 armour made a noise and an EMP blaster rose off from each of his shoulders.

[Voltaic Surge] a powerful blast of electrical energy that was manipulated at an astounding level targeted the three kings.

Usually, such kinds of attacks wouldn't even be able to reach anywhere near the three kings and would have simply dispersed by the powerful mana they subconsciously exuded.

However, the [Voltaic surge] was no ordinary attack but a futuristic accumulation of power and technology that has been harnessed to its limits.

Even in the game [Rise of the Demolishers] a Mk3 Andromeda was a force that made numerous players cry. Guilds would be forced to send their elite teams to raid one if one was sent by the empire or risk losing their average players.

It was a force that needed a mid to large raid groups of elite players just to defeat a Mk3 Andromeda. So one could imagine its power now that it had integrated with Simon a powerful Demon Marquess of his own.

The battle prowess displayed by the armor was leagues above what he could usually display and was more than enough to bypass the defences of the three kings and hurt them.

"Dammit!! I can't move. This is… paralysis!!"

The [Voltaic Surge] was not only capable of delivering devastating amounts of damage, but it could also paralyse the nerves of the targets.

[Elemental Fusion Cannons], [Quantum Blade Forge], [Inferno Overdrive Core]… like a child who received his early Christmas gift, Simon was relentless, attacking and splurging all kinds of new abilities of his new armour.

His figure from the observers' eyes was truly demon like. A being of immense dark powers and magic. A cunning and notorious being whose personality leans towards ruthlessness and ambition.

Who takes indulgence in chaos and suffering, a perverse pleasure that makes the core of them. And at this moment, Simon be consciously or subconsciously, appeared the very definition of one.

[[Demon Marquess of Pride]].

In front of that demon, who toppled rationality on its head, the three kings were reduced to nothing but mere punch bags, something that was only good for taking hits.

HAAARRGHHH!!! Gil-Garna roared: "Don't you dare forget your place demon!! I am the king of the Black Ogres, a violet horn aberrant… GIL-GARNA!!"

With a soul stirring roar, the ogre king broke away from the barrage of attacks. His skin turned a dark red and his already big frame grew even bigger.

[Dark Gaia's Blessing], a lost ancient skill that Gil-Garna acquired after inheriting the powers of an ancient beast. But that was not all, he extended his hands towards Simon and at that instant, the latter came to a stop.

Alarm bells rang inside his head!! Something was wrong, the air around him suddenly had become solid hampering his body and movements.

As if an invisible barrier was cast around Simon, he was unable to move. No, it was more like something was blocking him rather than him not being able to move.

Forced to increase his aura, he found out that although he was now able to move, doing so took more strength and energy from him.

"!!!" Once again trusting his senses sharpened by the years of training and intuition, he positioned his centre of balance and flapped his bat like wings at the very last moment.

SWOOSH… Simultaneously, the thrusters located around the arms and legs of the armor activated, enhancing his mobility and flight at a zipping speed.

Simon barely managed to dodge the incoming attack that erupted from under the ground that he was just a second ago.

"Inferno!!" the thing that popped out of the ground like a geyser was none other than hot boiling lava.

RUMBLE… RUMBLE… under the manipulations of Gil-Garna, multiple lava eruptions burst out of the ground seeming to want to melt the demon.

"This!! He... when did he reach such a level?"…

 "He was not serious at all when fighting before. He completely hid his strength from all of us until now" Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Barely managing to react themselves, the Ivory Terraquake Rhino and the Emerald Viperlord grimaced at the strength difference.

The demon of the dungeon turned out to be much more stronger than they bargained for. Heck, he was suppressing them instead.

Even after putting down their pride and fighting together, they were barely able to hold on. Yet now Gil-Garna was fighting that demon alone. If this wasn't slapping their face and telling them they were never his equals, then what was?

Mutation Magic…. pinnacle of magical mastery, transcending novice, intermediate, and advanced tiers. The realm where ordinary becomes extraordinary.

A realm above the advanced tier that grants the user a profound control over the magical genome of their magic. Thus altering the fundamental structure in ways that defy conventional limits.
