The Dragon's heads noticed the more than one hundred demonic arms floating in midair as they held hammers, which seemingly appeared right out of nowhere, all of his heads released a small surprised gasp as they ran away in circles, my arms detonated themselves while grabbing some, immediately destroying them and only leaving magic smoke. Some managed to smash some of the heads but they kept multiplying endlessly.

Meanwhile, the Dragon's main body opened its chest, generating a blast of energy that hit me right into my heads, I was instinctively going to evade it, but instead, I molded my Aura, enveloped the blast of energy and ate it, at the same time, I used four of my arms to unleash thousands of combined techniques that showed themselves as millions of small phantom weapons, the techniques hit the main body as its heads groaned in pain. Unluckily for him, he didn't possess [Pain Nullification].

As my hundreds of hands fought the dragon's hundreds of claws, I expanded my back and created a long tail, and with the help of my Aura and the magic-infused on it, a dragon-like head appeared from it, opening its gaping mouth filled with poisonous fangs it voraciously munched on the dragon's right feet, the moment the bones broke and the leg was eaten, its ethereal form quickly regenerated a new leg out of nowhere, and by using [Materialization], the leg appeared just as new.

Meanwhile, one of my split minds noticed a massive boulder of diamonds growing over the celling, oh is that his trump card? Aura!

My split mind did not waste any time as it expanded a piece of my aura into a voracious gaping mouth and ate the gigantic diamond boulder in the sky. However, to my surprise, the boulder exploded inside of my aura, dealing some heavy damage. I fell right into his trap.

My Aura flickered for a moment, this was not a simple explosion, but it possessed the dragon's severed phantom body, which when exploded, it created a soul attack right into my very soul, which is connected with my Aura. However, by gathering on the energy on my body, I easily regenerated the damaged Aura and Soul, while my body kept on fighting in automatic mode, I created more Arms of Destruction a Hammers, chasing and exploring the dragon's heads.

The Dragon then made a new move, thousands of tails appeared behind me, floating like phantom snakes… This bastard has really strange abilities! Is he really a dragon or is he a ghost?!

The Snake Tails were repelled by my countless arms as they exploded and dealt even more Soul damage, I had already enveloped my soul with countless Omni-elemental barriers, so the damage that bypassed such defenses was minimal.

My four heads eyes shined in different bright colors as thousands of magic circles showed up out of thin air, my split mind in charge of magic finally finished the preparations and was ow unleashing all of the magic we could possibly think about. By infusing Chaos Attribute into them, destructive, apocalyptic spells would be born, tornados that broke even space, thunders that made the air tremble and ocean floods that penetrated souls launched against the dragon's body, countless of attacks showered its body as three of my heads immediately activated the Eye of Demise; Inhibit Regeneration Curse.

The Dragon was unable to heal and its floating heads showed an annoyed expression as they were bonked to death by my Arms of Destruction wielding the gigantic Diamond and Hellish Hammers. He kept on attacking me with his atomic breaths only for them to be negated and sent back with my shields.

Suddenly, a thousand of the dragon's phantom arms combined together and formed a gigantic arm, afterward, by using [Materialization], the arm solidified itself and clashed against me with immense force, the body separated from my grasp and flew away as it kept releasing countless claws attacks over my heads. Ugh, is this how it feels to fight against me?

Five of the arms that were wielding weapons extended themselves like endless metallic tentacles as they released hundreds of techniques coupled with combos, powerful forces collided against the dragon's arms as I made the other arms slice the snake tails and the gigantic arm, which was then promptly eaten by my Aura, gaining more energy that boosted my capabilities.

The dragon quickly noticed that his natural regeneration was deactivated and that because his magic was being negated by my Anti-Magic seals over his entire body, he could only regenerate things with his ethereal and phantom form. However, this method didn't regenerate his HP. His floating heads started to sweat as he started to slowly lose HP, bit by bit…

Using the MP and Stamina that he can't use to heal or cast anymore spells, he started to generate thousands of arms and legs, alongside tails made of phantom and then materializing them without stopping. An onslaught of floating severed dragon limbs rained over my body as these released Claw and Bite Skills. Yes, Bite Skills, the Dragon copied my form of shapeshifting and generated fangs and mouths on his severed phantom limbs, obtaining the ability to release his Bite Skill as well.

The thousands of Chaotic Spells released confronted against the thousand of limbs that were being produced almost infinitely, meanwhile, the countless floating heads released their atomic breaths and killed some of my floating arms, while others were smashed to death and disappeared in smoke.

As the Dragon slowly gained the upper hand, several small Dark-colored Slimes appeared floating around his body in midair and released powerful traps that exploded out of nowhere, filling the floor with elemental attacks. Behind the backs of the floating heads, more traps appeared and exploded, others trap released thousands of slices, and other traps released a binding slime, while others released inevitable curses.

As this happened, I wildly expanded my Aura over the entire room, creating a quick domain that devoured every limb created by the dragon after these were attacked by my countless of shapeshifted arms. By absorbing this energy, I manipulated my chaotic Aura and released Chaos Attribute beams against the dragon's main body and heads.

More and more explosions filled the room as the chaotic dark smoke released even more poisonous cursing venom. The number of attacks that I was releasing consecutively was made with countless of my abilities, even some that I don't particularly use that often.

I noticed that although poison cannot do much to the dragon, if it's enhanced with the soul corroding poison from the Ghosts in the previous floors, it can slowly diminish the dragon's main body, which is made out of ethereal and phantom forms combined together, directly damaging the soul that he has connected to the dungeon.

The Dragon didn't slack off as he put together various of his severed phantom limbs into single giant arms and legs and then materializing, launching them against me like meteors or perhaps mechas from Earth.

By using my arms holding the [Legendary] weapons, I sliced various of the gigantic limbs, however, each time they were sliced, a gigantic soul-penetrating explosion would occur. For this whole reason, I moved and evaded instead, using my sixteen wings and the amazing speed that I possessed, I maneuvered around midair while chasing the dragon's main body and heads. By expanding my torso like a slime, it suddenly flew ahead of my legs and then my legs shapeshifted into a dragon head, I was going all out with this.

Although if I were to separate my body parts, they wouldn't be able to share my stats and would immediately turn into Slime Clones of lower strength, so there was needed to be some connection. The Dragon tried to target that small connection but quickly realized that it was impossible, the tight armor that was made out of five different layers was almost impenetrable, and if he didn't possess an ignore defense skill or a legendary weapon, his attacks would never penetrate my defense…. Nonetheless, this is why he targeted my soul instead through the explosions of his severed phantom limbs, very smart for a lizard.

My legs, which had turned into a massive metallic dragon head devoured the countless gigantic limbs without letting them detonate. And then, it began to extend arms and legs just like a new dragon, using its hundreds of arms it grabbed more phantom limbs, tails and heads, eating and smashing them into pieces.

The dragon created more heads as they showered me with his atomic breaths, one after another, hundreds of massive beams showered over my upper half, which was still that of a humanoid torso with countless arms and eight main claws holding legendary weapons.

Approaching to the main body, I released another combination of techniques, which when coupled together with high amounts of MP and Combo Skills, they showed themselves as a flood of small phantom weapons that shaped themselves into a gigantic tornado, the shockwaves created by such combination of technique and arts hit the main body, who although it tried to escape or evade, the attack covered an incredibly wide amount of space, hurrying to scape like a frightened ghost, it couldn't do anything more as an overwhelming force vaporized the phantom-like dragon body.

However, probably because of the strange physique of this Dragon, although its body was vaporized into nothingness, the heads kept multiplying and appeared new, while new phantom limbs surged from beneath their severed necks. Suddenly, a floating head tried to reform the main body, but it was smashed to death by thirty hammers.

Perhaps because the main body was destroyed, the connection to it was also severed, meaning that the Anti-Magic Seals were also destroyed, the heads then conjured countless spells out of nowhere and began a new assault made out of a myriad of diamonds in spear-like shapes. Some contained its phantom severed body inside, detonating into soul-corroding explosions.

My shields blocked most of its diamond attacks and its soul-corroding abilities, the dragon then tried to defend itself with multi-elemental shields and draconic barriers, but these were only munched and eaten by my voracious dragon half, who had taken a life of its own, probably being possessed by some of the spirts on my armors.

The Dragon tried to heal himself with his magic, but it was futile as it couldn't regenerate a new main body out of nowhere, and to do that, it seems that he needed to concentrate his Ethereal and Phantom Form transformation and slowly recreate the body.

I created even more of my Arms of Destructions, hundreds and hundreds, each one wielding a giant hammer, they rained over the countless dragon heads floating in midair and started to quickly slow down its numbers…

Seeing despair in the dragon, I used my speed to approach it while covering myself with countless illusion coats and stealth skills, approaching behind the heads, I opened my heads into gigantic mouths and started to eat the heads by the hundreds, each one tasted fresh and bloody. I was rather disappointed over having to vaporize the main body, but the hundreds of endlessly multiplying heads will do.

The heads tried to escape and use magic to oppose me, but my dragon half surrounded them from the other side, and while shapeshifting my body coupled with my Aura, I created a metallic and reinforced bubble, having all of the heads inside, the dragon despaired as I ate him.

The Ancient Wisdom Dragon Athos has never fought so much for his life as he has done now. Overwhelmed from the start, the gigantic metallic demon showcased countless abilities that left the Dragon's trump cards in ridicule.

When Athos tried to separate his Ethereal and Phantom form to overwhelm the monstrosity, the misfit did the same, extending its arms and creating new metallic tentacle-like arms that extended endlessly while releasing countless techniques. An amalgamation of countless skills and techniques rained over the Dragon's body, even when separating his head from his body and multiplying them countlessly to survive, his main body had to escape not long after because it was about to be vaporized.

Athos has never experienced his Phantom and Ethereal body being destroyed, but not long after, he experienced it for the first time, and excruciating, mind-blowing pain filled his heads as they dazed in despair. However, he was somehow still alive, without the need to breathe or have a heart as a phantom, Athos survived and tried his best to beat the "evil god".

Noticing that the Anti-Magic seals disappeared when his main body was vaporized, Athos gained hope into using his magic to defend himself, sadly for him, even this was not enough. The Demon overwhelmed him in every way, immune to fire and evading or destroying his diamond projectiles before they could detonate and damage the "Evil God" soul, Athos despaired.

"Will I… die again…? Heh… Huh?!"

However, although Athos despaired, he just put that to the side and thought that it was a nice fight, thinking that he would reincarnate not long after again in the dungeon. But, to his surprise, the demon shapeshifted its body in unimaginable ways, and by using its Chaos Attribute Aura, it trapped Athos heads inside a metallic bubble in midair.

"W-Wha-"

Crunch!

"Is it-"

Crunch!

"I can't-"

Crunch!

The insatiable appetite of the monster showed no limits, as it started to devour Athos's countless heads. The pain of having your head destroyed and munched into pieces filled Athos's main mind, which was a swarm mind connecting every phantom head, multiplying the pain thousands of times.

This was perhaps the worst way that Athos could have ever died. The last Boss from the Forsaken Labyrinth was overwhelmed and eaten alive. And on his despair, he kept creating more and more heads… However, as if answering his prayers, the God of the Dungeon offered Athos his help.

The God of Sand and Earth used his last amount of Divine Energy and sent it straight to Athos…

Suddenly, as I snacked on the delicious Dragon Heads, a massive amount of Divine Energy appeared from the dungeon's walls. I expanded my Aura and used [Divinity Devour], eating everything in a quarter of a second.

I suppose that was the god's last resort? Thanks for the meal.

"…" (Athos)

Athos glanced at the demon, who had suddenly eaten the Divine Energy that could help him win over such a merciless opponent. The belief that this being was an Evil God grew bigger on the Ancient Dragon's nonexistent heart.

After a few minutes, Athos's MP and Stamina reached zero and his last heads were killed, falling to the ground.

"I suppose these eighty or so heads can be enough for my family, I've eaten my fill," Said the "evil god".
