Hero of Darkness
chapter-759

Right at the decisive moment when even the strongest members of the party were struggling to cage this tyrannical being afront, Ervalen launched himself into the Hydra's mouth without a single moment of hesitation.

Swoosh!

Right when he reached inside the 300 meter long throat and slid downward, he quickly cast a protection barrier on himself while charging towards the stomach with all the strength remaining in his body.

Ervalen used the last remaining world energy he had stored in the artifact for summoners and dived inside the gate to hell as his last resort. Yet, his expression didn't have a shred of fear.

Desperate times require desperate measures.

This saying perfectly fit their current circumstances because they had no other way left after half of their party members were brutally massacred by this mythical rank floor boss.

But the deeper he got, the protection barrier started flickering and crackling with each passing second because of the stomach fluid inside the throat.

This monster had a venomous body and it could breathe out multiple elemental attacks at the same time. Thus, the protection barrier which was already maintained on scarce world energy reserves started breaking after some time while Ervalen slid down the throat forcefully.

[Dammit! At this rate, it'll break before I even reach close to its heart.

Just destroying one head won't be enough. I must go deeper to kill it.] thought Ervalen with an agitated countenance.

"I'm sorry everyone. If I knew this would happen… I would've used this method earlier despite the cost I have to pay for it." he spoke, his gaze turning wrathful as he remembered his deceased comrades who had fought many life-and-death battles by his side.

But reality didn't always just go as you planned because you were courageous.

Shatter!

Shatter!

The cracks widened and the barrier completely shattered in just 2 minutes.

"Argh!!" shouted Ervalen as he was partially submerged inside the acids at the bottom of the throat. His legs started and robes started sizzling as the first layer of skin started corroding at a visible rate.

"No! I can't afford to stop now!" he spoke while tightly clenching his teeth in pain.

Afterward, he kept walking despite his flesh being exposed and swam inside this acid which started eating out his flesh.

Blood started spreading across this yellow pool of acid inside the fleshly innards of this monster. The entirety of this place was dark but Ervalen was still swimming with great pain using his detection abilities.

The deeper he got, his body kept melting at a much faster pace because of stomach acid.

"Just. A. Little. Longer!" he groaned.

If one wasn't as determined as he was… they would've stopped in the very beginning.

Finally, a person with nothing but flesh and exposed bones was revealed as he got out of stomach acid.

Ervalen was lacerating incessantly from head to toe. His hair and skin had already melted and the immeasurably agonizing pain he was feeling could drive even the strongest of minds crazy.

Thud!

His left leg broke down, exposing his bones with few remaining veins and tendons while Ervalen himself looked on the verge of death.

And finally, he took out a green jade saucer-like artifact from his space ring and started chanting despite the excruciating pain he was suffering through.

Vengeance!

This was the only driving emotion that made his mind more determined despite the suffering he was going through. His heart was filled with both courage and anger at the same moment.

"Run!"

On the outside, all the remaining people had already evacuated 10 kilometers of the region of this battlefield using their movement skills in the meantime while avoiding the attacks from this frenzied monster.

"Enrkai akavle sanak zadarimana!" chanted Ervalen in an ancient dialect as soon as he reached right below the heart of this boss monster.

"Za Warudo!"

In the end… he activated the artifact in his hand and…

BOOM!!!

A terrifyingly destructive explosion erupted from the center of this humongous monster's body and colored the sky red with flesh and blood.

Thud!

Thump!

Thwack!

Thousands of pieces of meat and organs dropped from the sky after the 10 kilometer wide explosion shook the entire floor.

Ervalen had blown himself up from the inside of the monster's body like a suicide bomber.

At this very moment, Kahn as Legolas was enjoying a scrumptious meal with Edmund inside the 51st floor.

A couple of minutes later on the 71st floor.

The green swamp was now filled with the shredded meat of the dungeon boss whose entire body had blown up, not even leaving behind one of its heads or tails.

Crushed bones and massive chunks of flesh piled up in many places.

Even the remainder of the hero's party members had ghastly expressions.

"Did he… did he just kill himself?

Hey! Hey! That wasn't the plan!

He was supposed to come out before the explosion!" shouted the blonde elf archer with a flabbergasted expression.

But before any of their worries lasted for long.

BOOM!!

A massive green pillar of light rose at the center of the battlefield. Everyone used their senses and sights of the saints to see the source from 10 kilometers afar and finally saw something unexpected.

At the center of this light, a white and shiny core hovered peacefully. But soon, it was covered in a layer of flesh out of nowhere.

As moments passed, that layer of flesh turned into a heart. And soon, white bones and red flesh spread and encapsulated.

In just a dozen seconds, a ribcage was formed and soon, 4 limbs came into existence. And finally… a skull appeared along with newly formed eyes.

This impossible existence then took a form and a layer of skin appeared.

Everyone among the onlookers gasped, their minds failing to accept this revelation.

Ervalen Baslaark, the Hero of Life… Resurrected himself.

Ervalen, who was completely nude at this moment, spoke with a victorious voice as soon as the door leading to the next floor opened and revealed a bright light on the other side.

"Now… we have 1 more boss till we finally reach and control that sealed thing on the final floor.

After that…" he spoke, revealing a confident and indomitable countenance.

"I will become the Strongest Hero in history."
