Description: A one of its kind spear that has never… etc.] 

Darius was pleased with the power increase. He then gazed at Anthony who was frozen in shock over the death of his last remaining brother. He had sensed Spidersin's gruesome death through their connection, and this greatly depressed him. 

The Giant Ant was unable to shake off the effects of Darius' Lighting Bolt, and that signaled his end. The invader calmly walked over and stood over the Insect. 

Anthony dearly wished he could control his mandibles so that he could get some revenge by snipping Darius in half, but he knew even if he tried, the Itemancer would just teleport away. 

As such, he could only lay his head and watch as Darius cruelly punctured his brain, being subjected to that horrific pain Spidersin experience in the seconds before his death. 

Having your essence extracted was an experience that no living thing should endure. However, having your flesh eaten while alive was also a feeling none should endure, but the insects callously bestowed that fate upon others. 

The spear glowed once more and climbed up another level. At this time, Darius noticed that Gunner had just about broken the Anti-Energy Barrier to pieces. 

It shattered apart like glass, exposing the injured Beelzebub to those who would seek to harm him. The True Lord accepted the fact that not only his children, but even his failsafe, had not been enough to buy him the time he needed to slowly refine the Sea Essence. 

Left with no other choice, he directly swallowed it. 

Beelzebub felt the energy wash over his whole body as he roared in agony and pleasure. However, his bellow was cut short by a severe punch to the face that dented his head. 

Gunner grabbed Beelzebub by the torso and smashed him left and right, over and over until the fellow had dug craters with his body size. Gunner then threw Beelzebub into a wall, where the Lord of the Flies left behind a huge dent. 

The half-giant stretched out his hand and dragged Beelzebub back, activating his Earthen Lariat as he charged forward to meet the True Lord with his right arm outstretched and coated in brownish-green. 

[Earthen Lariat - Level 40 Skill 

Grade: Intermediate 

Cost: 100 MP 

Description: Channel great amounts of pure Earth Energy into your arms, rushing forward to strike your foes with a powerful lariat. This deals 526% earth damage.] 

When he collided with Beelzebub, the force from the two approaching bodies met. Gunner's was naturally superior, so all of the force from Beelzebub was converted into power, sending the Lord of the Flies flying twice as fast as he came, right back into the dent he made, further deepening it. 

The entire cavern system shook due to the power of Gunner's attacks, as he was holding nothing back in decimating this True Lord. If it wasn't for Beelzebub absorbing more than 99.9% of the force, the entire underground would have long since caved in. 

Gunner walked over and dragged Beelzebub from the dent in the wall, holding the Lord of the Flies up casually. Beelzebub was extremely battered by Gunner's onslaught, shocked by his power and speed. 

Why, Gunner was as strong as some of those Fake Lords when he used Earths Guardian! This was unthinkable for a fellow who was not even a Grandmaster yet! 

Then Beelzebub remembered he was paired with Darius, who was paired with the Goddess, and laughed bitterly. As the Creator of their world, it went without saying that she must have more than a million ways at her disposal to turn even the most insignificant creature into a being of unparallel power. 

"You can't kill me… urghh…" Beelzebub mocked as he spat out a gob of green blood that stank. 

"I have already swallowed the Sea Essence. It will continue to restore my power for each second that passes, far faster than you can hurt me! Hahaha-hack- cough!" Beelzebub jeered wickedly. 

Xela showed a horrified expression as she took a step back while Darius' expression became solemn, sweat forming on his brow. Gunner remained silent, seemingly contemplating something. 

"Hahaha! Scared now? For killing my children and exterminating my race, I will destroy you and everything you hold dear. Then, I will rape Faust of all its worth before devouring the Goddess as well, hahaha!" 

Beelzebub seemed to have gone mad as his proboscis and mouth frowned with greenish spittle and blood that sprayed everywhere. He continued laughing with glee at the expressions of Darius and Xela, feeling extremely cathartic. 

He was about to say more when Gunner interrupted him with a strange yet dark smile. 

"So what you're saying is, I can hit you as hard as I want, for as long as I want, and you won't die?" 

Beelzebub's laughter choked in his throat due to confusion. He did not know exactly why, but he felt there was something wrong with the question Gunner asked him. 

"Well, yes but…" Beelzebub answered in a daze. 

Gunner didn't let him finish, throwing the Lord of the Flies heavily to the ground and jumping up into the air. He angled his fall to land on the True Lord's torso while activating a skill. 

[Earthen Stomp - Level 40 Skill 

Grade: Intermediate 

Cost: 100 MP 

Description: Possessing an affinity with the Earth element, channel its power into your legs as you destroy the area around you with a minor quake. This damages an area of 210 meters around the user.] 

Gunner crashed into Beelzebub's body, transferring all his force from his glowing green legs into his body. The rest of it passed through and struck the ground beneath, causing it to crater and shake as Beelzebub was pushed into it. 

Gunner knelt down and spoke to the Lord of the Flies in a very serious, yet amused voice. 

"We are going to have a LOT of fun today." 

Before Beelzebub could whimper, he was stomped deeper and deeper into the ground by Gunner who raised his legs and brought them down with almost all his force. It was almost as if Gunner wanted to kick the fellow down into the planet's core and back. 

In the meantime, Darius removed a special item from his Inventory, an item that Beelzebub often would have nightmares of. 

[Nuclear Electromagnetic Warhead - Technological   

Durability: 30/30 

Quality: Perfect 

Damage: 40,000-500,000   

Description: A prototype nuclear electromagnetic pulse from the continent of Gravitas that is not yet ready for military use due to its volatility. Created through pure Transmutation.] 

Darius walked over to a corner of the cavern and placed the warhead there casually. He then walked 5 meters to the left, removed another one, and put it down. 

Darius did this continually, removing one warhead and placing it down for every 5 meters to his left or right that didn't have one until he traversed the four corners of the entire cavern. 

He was whistling an old tune the whole time, finding this job to be and quite fun. Past a certain age in his previous life, he had never been forced to exert himself for such a menial task. 

Who knew such a thing could be quite fun? 

Xela watched this with speechlessness. First, there was Gunner laying waste to a bonafide True Lord with glee, happy that the fellow wouldn't die too soon so he could beat him up to his heart's content. 

Then there was Darius, who was planting so many bombs in the room that it should probably be enough to end a Fake Lord. Xela wasn't sure, but she knew the power of this particular blast might be enough to destroy the entire underground. 

And how he was putting to down with such happiness, practically skipping like a little girl at the park! 

Xela was not from Earth, so she had no idea of the reverence the average man had for the nuke. She was born in a supernatural world filled with magic, not science and knowledge. 

Not to mention, Darius was excited about the powerup he would gain upon becoming an Adept. He was especially looking forward to Transmutation becoming an Advanced Ability, for he would finally be able to create some items that he needed to stand out in Faust. 

Hence, his weird, out-of-character behavior. 

Xela heard a roar as Gunner broke through from the ground, leaping in the air with Beelzebub in hand as he threw the True Lord down. The broken and battered True Lord was completely charred. 

Gunner himself was coated with reddish lava that was hot, but it slinked off his body easily as he shook himself. His skin steamed heavily, but was otherwise unharmed. 

He saw Darius by the side who had put down the last warhead and understood what his master was going for. He could only look at Beelzebub with pity and step back calmly. 

Darius placed a hand on the ground and focused. 

[Would you like to change the Empty Artificially Created Cavern into an Improved Faraday Cage? This will cost 198 Conversion Points.] 

When Darius made the change, the entire cavern system went from rock to metal. 

Not just any metal too, but Holy Silver! 

However, this wasn't your average every day Holy Silver, but one infused with Source Energy through runes!
