Chapter 354: Dark Demon's White Cat and Gray Cat

Every floor boss in Saint Marian's dungeon had their own background.

They were all manifestations of history, each having left their deep and indelible mark on the wheel of time.

had no knowledge of its past experience.

But fighting instinct was still lurking within every cell of its body.

Sitting on the ashen throne piled up from dry bones, it would occasionally hear the horns of the battlefield and the sounds of battle at close quarters. Broken memories entangled its soul, sinking it into eternal slumber in darkness amidst the constant recollection of memories.

Until the iron gate of the treasury was pushed open.

The white light shining through the gap of the gate filled it with abhorrence.

But as the feeling of abhorrence soared, more memories slipped out through the cracks.

They were of the season of scorching sun, of a city-state shrouded in black mist.

As the black mist spread, the roars of monsters and the low howls of the undead ravaged the battlefield.

Blood, sacrifice, slaughter...

When darkness covered the sky, the world would forever be devoid of daylight.

The glory of the demon race shall sweep the continent.

Conquer.

Conquer!

……

The bull head named Taron and the lion head named Leon abruptly opened their eyes under the stimulation of white light.

The bull head's eyes were crimson as blood, bursting with madness and savagery.

The lion head's eyes were brilliant as gold, embodying reason and coercion.

The two-headed demonic being named Taron Leon Keynesat sat upright on the throne of bones with a blood-stained dark red giant ax leaning by its side, silently waiting for the arrival of the uninvited guests.

……

Ten first-year students walked in through the gap of the gate.

Behind the iron gate was an ancient and splendid hall. The wide empty space over twenty meters high made the young students feel as though they had gone into the kingdom of giants.

The pillars standing tall inside the hall were so thick that a few people stretching their arms together wouldn't be enough to wrap around one. Traces of blurry murals remained on the walls that exuded a stale atmosphere.

Although its value was greatly reduced due to the severe dilapidation, if one were to dedicatedly study the murals, they might still be able to map out the lingering grace of history.

Upon entering the hall, was attracted by the murals carved all over the walls. She couldn't help but think of the set of murals she had documented together with Dark. Its mystery had yet to be solved, remaining as the link connecting the two of them.

On the contrary, was indifferent towards all this.

As the daughter of the Sage of Ancients, she had seen far too many similar things. Ruins that weren't unusual enough could no longer arouse her curiosity.

But most of the students still cautiously hid behind their magical spirits, watching the surroundings while chattering among themselves.

Dark took the lead with at the forefront.

A feeling of time transcending déjà vu rose forth the moment he stepped past the iron gate.

The white light shining through the gap of the gate uninterruptedly stretched forward, driving away the darkness and illuminating half of the hall.

The expanse of this treasury was even larger than imagined.

There remained a pitch-black darkness in the depths where the light couldn't reach.

Looking into it, one would feel as though they were going to be swallowed by the darkness, like a faint sense of terror circling inside the mind.

……

"Devimon."

Upon hearing the order, Devimon gave a slight nod and immediately rushed forward.

As the eternal frontmost pathfinder, Devimon's [Teleportation] allowed it to escape from danger at the fastest speed and return just as swiftly.

For Devimon, diving into the darkness was like a fish going back into water.

Dark halted his steps and stopped the students who still wanted to advance.

Aside from and , he had limited understanding of his other classmates. He wouldn't be able to promptly make reasonable deployments based on their decks.

But nevertheless, what they were about to face was merely the boss of the second floor of the dungeon.

Under normal circumstances, the level of this floor boss shouldn't exceed the second tier.

In other words, it would at most be a 6-star.

The basic stats of floor bosses, especially the magic energy that sustained life—which was so immense that it was astounding—were indeed much higher than that of ordinary magical spirits because they were able to obtain an endless supply of power from the dungeon.

However, as long as it was still within the range of the second tier, it wouldn't be any fundamentally different.

Dark pondered over the countermeasures he could use, keeping his brain active.

But just a moment later, his expression sharply changed. A ray of light flew out from the darkness and plunged into the magic card in his hand.

Devimon, down!

……

Just by coming face-to-face with it, Devimon was killed on the spot without even a chance to make a sound!

Before Dark even had the time to inject his magic energy to inquire about the cause, an intense blood-red light burst out from the pitch-black darkness!

In an instant, the darkness was dispelled as blood-red light illuminated the greater part of the hall.

A sharp killing intent akin to a rain of weapons soared to the sky.

The two-headed demonic being whose height surpassed three meters was still seated on the throne of bones, but it had singlehandedly picked up the double-bit giant ax propped up against the throne and pointed it straight ahead!

The power of darkness coursing on the blade of the ax was rapidly absorbed, making the blood-red light on its surface grow even stronger.

When it stomped down the giant ax, the sound of clanging iron resonated through the air.

Following the transmission of the soundwave, an intense killing intent burst out in an instant, spreading out in a form almost visible to the naked eye and piercing through the bodies of the young magisters.

"Ahh!!!"

The four students in Sara's team and Doron's team instantly turned pale. Among them, the girl from Magister House, who was previously still full of curiosity, hugged her head and screamed out as she trembled from head to toe.

Her fearful scream made the atmosphere drop to the freezing point.

The girl in Doron's team couldn't help feeling scared as well.

"Aaaahhh~"

A moment later, the chubby Pistein also started to scream, but as soon his cracked voice came out, the girl from Sara's team stopped screaming.

Although the rest of the young magisters were so nervous that their foreheads were dripping with sweat, they all persisted to endure it.

Saint Marian's students were, after all, not ordinary people. They arduously managed to resist the terrifying murderous aura.

If ordinary people were in this place, they would've probably been paralyzed on the spot.

But even so, the feeling of fear still seared itself inside the young magisters' hearts.

"Is this the floor boss?"

Beads of sweat oozed from Dark's forehead.

The momentum of this two-headed demonic being was even stronger than that of Vlad the Vampire.

Even the evil dragon he encountered during the treasure hunt in the secret passage didn't have such an imposing aura, let alone Vampire Count summoned by Vlad.
