Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons

Chapter 251: The Newly Born Spirit of Freedom



The sinister half-red crescent moon hung in the sky.

Kuros flew over the plains, feeling the power that the moonlight in the sky brought to him.

As for the stimulating side effects of the moonlight, could these be considered side effects for a demon?

On the ground beneath him, hundreds of demons followed his movements, and countless Skin-Stripping Monsters surrounded them.

Although he didn't know why Lord Bartos entrusted the full command of the Demon Legion to him, which was different from his past experience.

But for him, this was a good thing after all, and there was no reason to refuse.

In this way, he would be able to lead his troops to capture that fortress and release the sealed Demon Commander.

Perhaps only then could he once again attract the attention of the Abyssal Will.

For a mid-level demon like him, losing the gaze of the Abyssal Will was like the sky falling down.

Now, he only wanted to regain the attention of the Abyss.

In hopes that the barely perceptible Abyssal Will could reconnect with him.

As for the sealed breach that Kane and the others took, even with so many Demon Army members, he still did not dare to provoke it.

Nor was there any need to provoke it; surely those humans had already repaired the seal, he comforted himself.

It wasn't long before he led the Demon Army to his destination.

He began to command these demons under him to set up camp, lay out the Array.

To extract the energy scattered here for charging purposes.

If Kane activated Eagle Eye here, he could see the magical power mixed with black and red air in the atmosphere.

This was yet another location where a seal had broken.

Watching the camp being set up frenetically below, the Winged Demon couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Fortunately, the clever Kulers had already found another place where a seal had broken.

When he first found this location, he didn't tell anyone about it.

He just silently and secretly absorbed the energy scattered from this seal by himself, seeking a breakthrough in Personality to make himself stronger.

But now, with the loss of the Abyssal Will, he was close to madness, and he could no longer afford to hide it secretly; he wanted to use all his strength.

All the flying demons were dispersed around, vigilant against any humans approaching.

As the camp was established, the Array was redrawn.

Seeing the constant summoning of demons on the Array, Kulers' eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty desire and madness.

"Hahaha, soon, it will be soon. Bring more demons, and then destroy that stone house and tear the ants inside to pieces, and of course, that damned little gold man."

The entire sky was filled with the sharp, shrill laughter of the Winged Demon.

At noon.

The sun hung in the sky, and it was the calmest time for demons and Skin-Stripping Monsters.

Inside the command center of the Volcano Fortress.

The commanders of various legions and the Commander were discussing something inside.

Kane and the Saintess were also present.

A square-faced, stern-looking commander reported: "Last night, according to reports from the reconnaissance team patrolling outside, numerous Skin-Stripping Monsters and demons were disappearing. Judging by their paths, they appear to be assembling."

Upon hearing the commander's report, Di Berrio nodded, expressing a sigh involuntarily.

"It seems these demons are about to make another big move. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the final attack on the Volcano Fortress."

At this moment, Finaris stepped forward and said, "I might be able to provide some intelligence on the demon attack."

Listening to the Saintess, everyone was very interested. As for her source of information, no one would inquire.

After all, the church and them were not the same system; both worked together but did not interfere with each other.

Moreover, if you could not trust the church's Saintess, then no one could be trusted. As long as she could still use divine prayers, she would stand on their side.

Finaris then shared points from her countless reincarnations where demons would focus their attacks with everyone present, hoping they would strengthen defenses on these points to ensure they could win the holy war.

This way, Kane and the others might be considered to have cleared the Dungeon, helping her truly attain freedom.

Kane stood by the side, listening to the discussions about various intelligence, battle reports, and troop deployments.

He was there to listen to this intelligence.

He was somewhat of a mascot figure; after all, he wouldn't lead troops, but only rely on his mighty power with his teammates to execute slayings on mighty demons, preventing them from causing more casualties.

Inviting Kane to the command center to discuss was indeed out of respect for Kane, as well as an acknowledgment of his strength and status.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

At this time, there were suddenly knocks on the door from outside.

"Come in."

The last soldier opened the door and entered hurriedly to get beside Di Berrio.

"What's the matter? Is there anything that needs to be reported?"

After all, during such meetings, the Commander would order all irrelevant personnel to leave. Nothing short of important should disturb them.

The soldier knelt on one knee and quickly reported the intelligence he had gathered to everyone present.

"According to the patrol by the investigation corps, all the Skin-Stripping Monsters and demons on the wasteland have disappeared. According to their tracks, it seems they have all assembled."

After listening to the soldier's report, everyone present furrowed their brows tightly.

Because this represented that the demons were about to launch their final attack, if nothing unexpected happens, the timing should be tonight.

It gave one a sense of urgency, leaving them questioning why the rush.

But since they had come, they could only actively engage in the battle.

Then, Di Berrio began issuing various orders to all the commanders present.

Check and set up all defensive equipment, and repair and expand the traps outside the city as much as possible.

Summon all soldiers patrolling and scouting outside back.

And lastly, conduct the pre-battle mobilization to boost the soldiers' morale; failure here would mean the end of the world.

After Di Berrio issued the commands, Kane quickly returned to his quarters.

He informed his teammates about the final battle scheduled for tonight, instructing them to prepare quickly.

Then Meizike took out a pile of Potions for everyone to replenish, an essential ritual before every significant battle.

And on the plains.

Under the blazing sun.

A massive army was slowly advancing towards the Volcano Barrier's location.

The number of demons in the legion was such that, at a glance, it was easy to estimate they were nearing a thousand.

You could still see demons continuously joining the ranks from the rear.

These had just been summoned to catch up with the army.
