Life Dungeon Game

One of his two remaining marks had dimmed.

The dragon made its decision and charged towards the Stars Pharmaceuticals building ahead without hesitation.

Having recovered from the electric shock, Heo clung to the dragon's belly and continued forward, searching for the energy convergence point with each strike.

boom--

The dragon's four claws stepped into the glass curtain wall and quickly climbed upwards.

During the climb, it still did not forget to summon thunder to deliver a weakened version of electric shock to Heo, attempting to electrocute Heo to fall.

Despite enduring the electric shock, He Ao climbed to the very center of the dragon's belly.

It's right here.

At that moment, the dragon had climbed to the middle of the building. It quickly tore through the walls and headed towards the center of the building.

In front of it lies the laboratory, radiating pure white light.

He cut open its belly and rushed in, his body stained with white blood.

The dragon, however, was faster and had already approached the laboratory.

If the key patterns in the laboratory are destroyed, the entire magic circle will collapse.

At that moment, He'ao had already entered its body, and it sensed the approaching footsteps of death.

It seemed to realize that its previous decision had been interfered with in some way, so this time it did not hesitate at all and desperately pried open the laboratory wall with one claw.

As long as the Fountain of Youth remains, he can have as many bodies as he wants.

The enormous claw pierced through the corpses lying on the ground and slammed towards the World Tree pattern painted in the very center of the laboratory.

And at that very moment.

A powerful soul impact struck its soul.

Mental interference!

Its body froze in place.

In that brief moment, He Ao gathered more than five divine senses into the short sword and pierced the dragon's energy gathering point.

As he expected, the short sword encountered resistance; Genos had covered the area with a carapace far thicker than normal, making it impossible to pierce through with just one or two strands of divine sense.

A brilliant milky-white light exploded before He Ao's eyes, and the powerful explosion sent He Ao flying, crashing through three walls before he fell to the ground.

Genos tried to destroy the magic circle in front of it at the last moment, but its body was no longer under its control.

The terrifying behemoth roared, and countless bolts of lightning exploded in all directions.

One by one, the laboratory robots suddenly stood up from the ground and blocked the World Tree pattern. Lightning was attracted by their metallic bodies and landed on them.

With a series of mechanical screech sounds, Genos used its last bit of strength to turn its triangular head toward Heo.

woo-

It let out a final, furious roar.

Its enormous body tilted to one side and crashed to the ground.

Dust and flying stones were kicked up.

Like the vocal music at the end of a song.

He Ao struggled to his feet, and with a crisp sound, the short sword in his hand shattered into countless fragments.

The power this sword endured and the battles it faced had long exceeded its design limits. If it weren't for divine consciousness supporting it, it would have been destroyed in the battle long ago.

He Ao gently lowered the hilt of his sword, staggered through the smoke, and walked to the side of the giant monster.

From the perspective of hypermemory, the soul attached to this 'dragon' is rapidly disappearing.

It's dead.

The robot guarding the World Tree pattern was arranged by Eve after Heo discovered the dragon's lightning power.

Genos's only weakness is his soul, which is a mess of impurities. Perhaps that's why he collects those souls—to strengthen his own.

He didn't follow the normal promotion path, and even if he used this method to advance, his soul wouldn't be as strong as a normal B-level.

However, unlike in Rock City, where Heo had the blessing of the God of War, this time Heo needed to mobilize all his power to have a mental interference effect on Genos. Therefore, this ability could only be used once.

Use it where it's most critical.

He Ao turned around and staggered outside. His body was already at its limit and could collapse at any moment.

He pulled out the last two life-saving potions from his waist, opened one, and poured it into his mouth.

His coat had been destroyed in the battle, and the two life-saving potions were clipped to his waist.

He rummaged in his pocket and pulled out a coat pocket containing a small box that was half-damaged.

He Ao struggled to open the box, and inside, only a small piece of cake and cream remained.

He Ao gave a wry smile and put the small cake into his mouth.

Very sweet.

Although this is just the cheapest synthetic cake flour and synthetic butter.

After losing Genos, the Fountain of Youth's resistance weakened slightly.

The radiance of the goddess of life shone from the sky upon the colossal beast, as large as a mountain, outside the city.

The giant beast wanted to escape, but it couldn't move. The life force far exceeding its due was being rapidly taken away by the goddess of life.

He looked at the city, its lights still flashing.

The neon lights will not go out when the operator disappears.

He leaped and landed on the roof of the building next to him.

——Twenty minutes later——

He Ao glanced at the new bracelet on his hand, which had already been destroyed in the battle, took it off, and put on another bracelet instead.

This is his original bracelet. He went back to his rented apartment and retrieved it.

The bracelet was flashing with missed calls.

It was Aini calling.

She didn't know the number of He Ao's new bracelet, so she kept calling the old one.

Annie made 37 phone calls, the last one at 12:43 AM.

The little girl usually goes to sleep around nine or ten o'clock.

I didn't play any more games, I was probably too tired and fell asleep.

He Ao glanced at the familiar yet unfamiliar door in front of him, took out the last life potion, and poured it into his mouth.

He verified the password and opened the door.

This is his home.

'.

The broken light in the living room, where he was battling the shadows, hadn't been replaced yet, so he reached out and turned on the dining room light.

He wanted to go sit on the sofa for a while, but out of the corner of his eye he noticed a small suitcase leaning against the refrigerator door.

He slowly walked towards the suitcase and fell into a brief silence.

This suitcase is the one that Annie took with her when she left this morning.

He glanced at the refrigerator in front of him and opened the refrigerator door.

Inside the empty refrigerator, a small, delicate round cake sat on the shelf.

He Ao took out the cake, which had a message written on it in red jam.

Happy birthday, Dad.

A drop of bright red blood slid down He Ao's cheek, landing between the red jam and white cream.

He took out the cake, placed it on the dining table, found the birthday candles that Aini had prepared for him, and lit the faint flame.

Outside the window, there was a hazy mist and a shimmering white light, with stars disappearing among the city.

The man blew out the candles and used a knife and fork to eat the cake piece by piece.

He turned on the bracelet, and his daughter sent him many messages. The last one was...

[爸

The message was not fully edited and was likely sent accidentally.

He Ao had always known what his daughter was worried about.

Family setbacks made her see the truth of the world too early. She was afraid of the fate her father was born into, and she was also afraid of the fate she was born into.

The despair of this world is not only found in huge setbacks, but also in discovering that you have nowhere to go when you are at the height of your youthful vigor.

The despair is not from the darkness itself, but from knowing that the road ahead is entirely dark.

He Ao opened the bracelet's chat window.

The mist in the sky gradually dissipated, and the faint light of the stars once again bathed the earth.

The enormous green leaf, gathering radiance, swayed in the air and disappeared into the curtain of stars.

【mission completed】

[Task evaluation and settlement in progress...]

[You will return to the original world in 90 seconds]

[Return immediately (90)]

The man in the room picked up the photo frame on the table, looked at his sleeping daughter in the photo, and smiled gently.

His body transformed into pure white light and gradually dissipated.

The morning light streamed through the huge French windows, illuminating the girl's soft cheeks.
