Chapter 459: Chapter 459: The Scorpion King

Song Jian had a thought and started to move forward stealthily;

After rounding a bend, Song Jian reached the end of the passage and a huge cave appeared before his eyes, at least twice the size of the previous stone forest;

The cave was very hot, Song Jian could feel it even just standing in the passage, the warm breeze coming from the cave.

The cave was full of golden light. The surrounding rock walls were embedded with fist-sized golden ore crystals, radiating light and heat.

In the center of the cave, a huge monster wrapped in black ropes was struggling mightily;

This enormous beast had six jointed limbs, its massive body covered in layers of shell-like armor, and a gigantic scorpion tail, of which only half remained, with the other half stinger being chopped off and thrown aside.

The upper body resembled an adult male, with his arms turned into gigantic pincers, desperately tearing at the black ropes entwining him.

“Is this…” Song Jian narrowed his eyes, looking at the huge monster: “This is the leader of the golden scorpions, the Holy Sun Scorpion King? But he looks quite miserable right now!”

Across from the Scorpion King, a black, ragged cloak was floating in mid-air, it seemed to be supported by a mysterious force, but Song Jian didn’t find any creature in the cloak and couldn’t see its name or attributes either.

“Begs, stop struggling. Accept enhancement by demonization and become one of the Abyssal Clan. This is a great honor for you!” A deep voice filled with temptation came from the cloak, making Song Jian feel slightly dizzy.

“Abyssal language?” Song Jian was surprised and began to closely inspect the black cloak.

Finally, he found that there seemed to be a transparent spirit body in the black cloak. The black ropes on the Scorpion King seemed to be its handywork. At this moment, it was trying hard to control the ropes and prevent the Scorpion King from breaking free.

The Scorpion King roared constantly, but its struggling became increasingly weak. At this moment, a cracking sound suddenly came from the cave walls.

The golden ore crystals embedded in the rock walls were shattering one by one. Golden scorpions the size of a fist were breaking free from the crystals and crawling towards the Scorpion King.

“Is this your last struggle? What use are these newly-born scorpions? You think they can save you?” A mocking laughter came from the cloak.

These newborn golden scorpions launched themselves off the walls at the black cloak. As they entered attacking range, they exploded like grenades one after another. There seemed to be special defense energy around the black cloak. With the explosion of the golden scorpions, a light gray energy shield appeared around the cloak and began to ripple.

“Is this your trump card, Begs? Hahaha!” The transparent soul body stretched its arms wide as if it didn’t take the impending “suicide soldiers” seriously. Rings of black energy emanated from its body and spread around.

Song Jian, standing at the entrance of the passage, felt the explosive power of the golden scorpions. The level of explosion could match his high-explosive hand grenades and self-destructing robot. But the numerous suicide attacks of the golden scorpions couldn’t even break the opponent’s defense. While Song Jian was astonished, he also became cautious with his breathing, fearing to be detected by the transparent spirit body.

“The strength of this guy must surpass a level 30 elite BOSS. It might even possess first-tier combat power!” Song Jian observed the miserable state of the level 30 elite BOSS Scorpion King, and looked at the black cloak with extra caution.

Rings of black aura were being emitted from the cloak, as if a door to hell was opening, with black flow turning into screaming faces;

The cave, which had been radiant with warm golden light, was quickly covered in a layer of pale gray, as if dust had settled on its surface.

“Eventually, all creatures will succumb to the Abyss…” A long sigh came from the black cloak. With a swish, it flew towards Begs and grabbed him by the neck with a translucent soul hand, lifting the massive creature.

“Submit to me, otherwise, I will extract your soul and roast it on the Abyssal Flame for ten thousand years!” The soul body within the black cloak let out a roar;

Just then, a system prompt suddenly appeared before Song Jian;

System: Neiyem, the Abyss Demon General, is the final BOSS of this instance. Killing it will clear the instance! Warning: If Neiyem extracts the soul of the Holy Sun Scorpion King, its power will massively increase!

“Shit, why didn’t you say it earlier!” Song Jian glared upwards to see a translucent soul almost completely extracted from the Scorpion King’s body by Neiyem.

In at most ten seconds, the soul of Scorpion King Begs would be completely extracted by Neiyem.

According to the system hint, if Neiyem completely extracts the Scorpion King’s soul, its power would undergo a drastic change. Considering that Neiyem’s current strength already amazed Song Jian, any further enhancement might make Song Jian lose his confidence in completing the instance.

With a leap, Song Jian swung his sword and struck at the soul body in mid-air;

Light Strike!

With a shout, a dazzling golden Sword Qi lit up the entire cave. The sacred Sword Qi hurt Neiyem before it even got close, creating countless black auras that crazily emanated from the black cloak, forming a shield in mid-air;

“The power of Holy Light, this disgusting aura…” Neiyem interrupted the soul extraction which was already half-way done, and tossed Scorpion King Begs away.

Turning around, eight lines of dark aura surged from behind Neiyem, eventually solidifying into eight spider leg-like weapons, trembling slightly as they cut through the Sword Qi of Light Strike;

Despite saying he held it in contempt, Neiyem’s actions showed his fear of holy power.

Bang,bang, bang-

The eight spider leg-like black auras kept slashing on the golden Sword Qi of Light Strike, creating repeated explosions. Every explosion shattered a spider leg and depleted a portion of the golden Sword Qi.

All eight spider legs disappeared, the Sword Qi of Light Strike had shrunk to half of its size. The remaining Sword Qi still fiercely shattered the black shield and slashed at Neiyem.

Boom!

The black cloak shook vigorously, and damage of over three hundred points floated above Neiyem’s head. Then a golden Sword Qi suddenly appeared out of nowhere and struck Neiyem.

This blow caught even Neiyem by surprise. Being hit by this heavy blow, even Neiyem let out a painful roar.
