Chapter 552 – Mike VS Brocell, Samael VS Mao Miaomiao

"Phew."

Wang Yun emerged from the shadow of an altar on the 100th floor of the dungeon. He followed Brocell here in secret.

After confirming Brocell's location, he reported to Guo Jia.

'HQ, I'm in position.'

Guo Jia replied back, 'Are you near the dungeon core or Brocell?'

'I'm 400 meters away from Brocell and the dungeon core. My domain can only cover me this far. He will detect me if I get any closer.'

'Can you snipe him?'

'Impossible. I tested his strength, and he's at least an 8th-stage cultivator. Also, his soul core isn't inside his body. Attacking him is pointless since he can continuously revive.'

'That's a piece of good news.'

'Good news?'

Wang Yun frowned. The opponent was currently semi-immortal as Brocell's soul core wasn't within his body. Fighting him head-on wasn't the right solution.

Guo Jia elaborated, 'I heard about dungeon cores and dungeon's nature from our lord. He must be using the dungeon core as his soul core. If we find it, we can kill Brocell! Now, that's your new objective. Do not pursue Brocell and try to destroy the dungeon core from there.'

'Copy that. I'll try.'

Wang Yun took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He scanned the room, where Brocell and the dungeon core were currently at.

The room was illuminated with a thousand torches, which were attached to the walls. A dozen massive Roman pillars were neatly arranged in four lines and columns.

The empty hall was worthy to be called a boss room. Wang Yun had the advantage here as there were plenty of areas to hide or jump into the shadow.

Wang Yun sank into his shadow and swam in the darkness, creeping closer to Brocell and the dungeon core.

But as soon as Wang Yun and Brocell were less than 300 meters apart, the latter noticed the presence of the shadow monster. He turned around and pointed a handgun at the corner behind a pillar.

BANG

The pistol was too powerful to be called as one. Instead, it should be called a handheld cannon as its Qi-cladded bullet and its firepower blasted through the marble pillar and destroyed a section of the room.

BANG BANG BANG

Brocell kept shooting even though nobody had appeared in the room. His bullets chased after an invisible creature underground, but he seemed to miss the target by a hair-breadth.

SHING

Five shadow spikes shot up from the ground below Brocell and pursued the orb behind him. However, Brocell suddenly switched place with the orb by teleporting!

The spikes punctured through his back, chest, and head. Yet, Brocell ignored the pain. His eyes followed the hidden agent and pointed his fingertip at it.

Suddenly, the dungeon section, where Brocell had pointed at earlier, was compressed into a small ball.

"TSK!"

Wang Yun jumped out of the compressed ball before his soul and the new body was crushed. The six arm-guns spat fire, and countless yellow lights exited the gun barrels, going through Brocell's head and chest at a light speed.

Brocell's skill was interrupted, and Wang Yun evaded the compression skill before his body was destroyed.

Wang Yun's eyes glanced at the dungeon core next to Brocell. However, the latter also noticed the eye movements of his opponent.

The dungeon core suddenly moved by itself and flew into the wall.

Wang Yun kicked the ground and jumped into a pillar's shadow. Brocell's body also transformed into white smoke, and his body merged with the dungeon floor.

Five seconds later, the dungeon core reappeared in the 150th floor's boss room. A massive gargoyle statue sat there, gazing at the dungeon core in confusion.

The next second, Wang Yun jumped out of the gargoyle's shadow and fired several bullets from his arm cannons toward the orb.

Unfortunately, a giant blue hand came out of the orb and blocked the bullets.

Brocell's body also appeared from thin air, showing up in front of Wang Yun as if he could teleport. His right arm turned into a giant blade and cleaved the ant monster with it!

Wang Yun's body was cleaved in half, separating his upper torso from the area below his waist. However, his determined expression never showed fear or doubts.

The arm-guns pointed at the ceiling and the floor. Then, they fired small bullets.

Brocell frowned for a moment, not understanding where Wang Yun was shooting at.

But a split second later, the bullets ricocheted against rocks and slanted objects in the room. Every shell changed its trajectory and flew around the room in chaos.

Brocell widened his eyes as he pointed his finger at the dungeon core. Then, a metal golem manifested, using the dungeon core as its golem core!

The orb sank into the metal structure of the golem body.

TINK

The ricocheted bullets hit the golem's body, but it failed to penetrate through its skin.

The orb was safe.

Or not…

"Gotcha, bitch!"

Wang Yun smirked before his upper torso sank into his shadow. He also saluted Brocell with a middle finger before he vanished again.

BOOM

Shadow spikes came out from the surface of the golem's inner body, where it enveloped the dungeon core.

From inside the golem's body, Wang Yun's shadow spikes stabbed into the dungeon core!

And it broke!

Brocell realized what had happened and what his mistake was. The dungeon core glowed in dimmed light, so it also produced a faint shadow.

And Wang Yun's power came from shadows! Brocell shouldn't have covered the orb inside a golem's body since the cover was not clean and smooth. It created a small shadow in there, which Wang Yun could exploit.

Brocell widened his eyes and screamed in anger, "WANG YUUUUUUUUUUNNN!!"

The dungeon master's body vanished into smoke as he quickly retreated. The entire dungeon shook afterward.

As for the gargoyle in the room, it could only widen his eyes and sweat profusely. It didn't have a clue what had just happened.

…

The blue-haired android pressed several buttons on the console in front of her in a hurry. Then, she opened a cover of the lone red button at a corner and slammed her fist on it.

A loud siren alarm echoed in the room, and the automatic voice of the dungeon warned the residents and the monsters in the dungeon.

<Warning, the self-destruct program has been activated. All personal, please evacuate to the safe area. I repeat; the self-destruct program has been activated.>

Brocell reappeared next to the blue android. He waved his hand and opened a portal for her, "Where is Samael and that broad?"

"Lady Jane and her bodyguards already evacuated when the invaders have first appeared. As for Samael, he refuses to comply with our order."

"I guess his loyalty is too low. Well, you go first. I'll go and bring him back."

"Yes, Commander."

Pixie ran toward the portal and left the dungeon.

…

In front of the root, Samael was determined to kill everything behind the metal wall. He gathered more soul essence into his fist and punched it with his full power.

BOOM

The wall was broken, and the swarm of sandworms gushed out!

At the exact moment, the dungeon sounded the alarm. The deafening siren sound warned everybody about the crisis.

<Warning, the self-destruct program has been activated. All personal, please evacuate to the safe area. I repeat, the self-destruct program has been activated.>

"…"

Samael paused and looked back. His yellow fireball eyes fluctuated as he was unwilling to retreat.

While Samael was hesitating, he heard the voice of a sandworm.

"Guo Jia, did you hear that?"

"???"

Samael looked around. He thought that he heard a man's voice, but he could only see a pack of worms inside the root.

"AHAHAHA! Finally! Alright! Boys, let's scramble! Find any relic, treasure, or whatever Brocell left behind and bring it to the surface!"

The root suddenly disappeared, and the sandworms separated into the soil of the dungeon. They ran amok and consumed every brick, stone, and rock they found.

While Samael was in shock, one of the sandworms lunged at him.

The incomplete archangel scoffed at the weak worm. Everything below the immortal realm was nothing but an insect in his eyes.

He lightly threw a punch at the lunging worm, believing that he could end it in one hit.

PA

As soon as his punch touched it, his soul essence suddenly surged as if it resonated with something.

Moreover, that sandworm just now had tough skin. Samael felt like he had punched something harder than his bone.

The sandworm in question also transformed into a pretty purple demon. The pretty demon's palm strike hit Samael's chest.

But Samael felt nothing!

Since the attack power of the demon was too weak, Samael seized the demon's neck. He raised him up.

Now that Samael got a good look at the purple demon, he felt agitated. His instinct cried that he should kill the demon right now.

But the demon suddenly smirked. The girl-like demon grabbed Samael's arm and shouted.

"YOUR PLOT ARMOR IS MINE!!"

"!!!"

The area that Samael got hit by the demon's palm earlier suddenly got hotter. He also sensed that his soul essence left him and entered the demon's body.

His power was being stolen!

"DAMN DEMON!!"

Samael bellowed, and the mist around him was clear. The hoodie also slipped from his head.

Now, Samael showed his real face, which looked the same as Miaomiao and Devil.

…

Miaomiao had a mixed feeling about his opponent. He was inwardly shocked that the attacker was really Samael.

However, the power of this guy was disappointing. He was a lot weaker than the original. Even Miaomiao could have easily overpowered him had he summoned Xie Tian or Xu Chu to assist him.

But Miaomiao had a better idea. Instead of destroying Samael right here, he wanted to capture and interrogate the latter.

If possible, Miaomiao wanted to research if he could extract the will or the soul of Samael from his right eyebrow and plant it into this body to resurrect his counterpart.

But for now, Miaomiao had to disable this weak archangel first.

"You're a disgrace to the archangel ranks, Samael!"

Within five breathes, Miaomiao stole 50% of Samael's soul essence.

Dao Avatars of Miaomiao appeared behind his back. Xu Chu and Diaochan came out, helping Miaomiao digest Samael's power and increase the energy stealing speed.

Meanwhile, Samael felt like he was electrocuted. He was petrified while his energy continued to leave him.

"AAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!"

Samael shouted again and shoved Miaomiao away with pure willpower and soul essence force. He also summoned a miniature planet avatar, the origin of his constellation power.

The miniature planet was similar to Miaomiao's soul dantian, minus the residents. It was a desolated planet without any lifeform, but it was filled with various types of elemental Qi.

Seeing the threatening power of Samael, Miaomiao decided to summon Xie Tian.

Xie Tian and Miaomiao spoke in unison as they activated their time power together.

"ZA WARUDO!"

The time was stopped. Samael's planet failed to reveal its true power.

Miaomiao unsheathed Killer Queen while Xie Tian created an energy sword from his hands. Both men dashed toward Samael at the same time.

Again, in unison, they used the old sword technique.

Atomic Slash!

Suddenly, Samael's pupils regained color. He also activated the power of time to move in this time-frozen domain.

Samael also replied with the same sword skill.

Atomic Slash!
