Is the closed beta test of King of Loque over? The official release is here!

But—it was blocked.

The Fire-Eyed Lizard was unharmed.

After regaining his balance, the white-haired lazy man opened his previously languid eyes wide.

There was no drowsiness inside.

Only—the will to fight.

"Scratch!"

Wind Chime's instructions were brief and concise.

The white-haired lazy man's claws suddenly shot out at that moment.

The tips of the five claws gleamed with a sharp white light.

Its body suddenly lunged forward—its languid posture vanished in an instant. In its place came an explosive agility—like a beast that had been lying in wait finally baring its fangs.

The three-elemental beast attempted a final counterattack. Spark's mouth opened again, and a faint flame flickered deep within its throat.

But it's too slow.

HP is down to 185, the tri-color shield is on the verge of collapse, and the energy is almost exhausted.

The lazy old man's paws have arrived.

*Snap!*

Five claw marks tore fiercely through the precarious three-colored light shield on the belly of the Three-Elemental Beast.

The light shield shattered.

-97!

The Three-Elemental Beast's body trembled violently.

HP: 88/30000.

Not finished yet.

The moment the white-haired lazy man landed, his other paw lashed out.

The second scratch!

*Snap!*

-94!

Three-elemental Beasts—

HP: 0/30000.

That number—went to zero.

"Roar……"

The last faint flame in the mouth of the Three-Elemental Beast was completely extinguished.

Its massive body swayed.

The enormous head of the spark-shaped figure slowly lowered. The blue light on the left closed its eyes, and the blue ripples dissipated. The last vine on the right-hand cat withered and fell away.

The three-colored light began to peel away from its body surface.

Red, blue, green.

Three streams of light emanated from the body of the Three-Elemental Beast, converging and swirling in the air like three rivers, eventually transforming into a dazzling golden pillar of light that shot into the sky.

The body of the Three-Elemental Beast slowly became transparent in the light.

Then--

disintegrate.

Billions of tiny particles of light drifted out from its dissipating body, like a silent fireworks display, filling the entire fifth-floor space.

On the white, mirrored floor, particles of light fluttered down, just like snowflakes.

The whole world was so quiet it was as if time had stopped.

A panel pops up.

A line of large, golden characters floated in the center of everyone's field of vision.

The final guardian—the Triune Beast—has been defeated!

The World Tree's gift is coming soon!

silence.

A silence that lasted three seconds.

Then--

"You won???"

Zhao Mingyuan's voice was the first to explode out. He jumped up from the ground, his voice hoarse from excitement and the relief of surviving the ordeal.

"We won!! Holy crap!! We won!!!"

It was like turning on a switch.

"We...won?"

"We won! We really won!"

"Thirty thousand health! We've really worn it down!!"

"I'm exhausted! That battle was so exciting!"

Cheers, shouts, and even the sound of someone collapsing to the ground and panting heavily mingled together, echoing in the empty fifth floor.

Rukawa of the Vanguard Guild let out a long breath, and the corners of his mouth finally turned up in a barely noticeable smile.

Chu Han of the Dawn Guild pulled down his hat brim to hide his expression. But his hands were trembling slightly.

Lin Sen, from the French Catholic Church, adjusted his glasses, the lenses reflecting countless golden particles of light. He didn't speak, but this time, the faint smile on his lips carried a hint of genuine relief.

Liu Zhicheng stood there, looking up at the soaring golden pillar of light, his chest heaving violently.

Xu Fei's mouth was agape, looking utterly incredulous.

At this moment, everyone let down their guard against each other and rejoiced in this victory.

Xie Yun slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

She looked at Mo Fan and Feng Ling'er.

"Thank goodness for the two of you, otherwise we might have been wiped out this time."

Mo Fan and Feng Ling'er simply smiled.

They were exhausted too.

However, the Fire-Eyed Lizard stood to the side, seemingly exhausted, but its back remained straight, its spines erect, and its eyes bright and piercing, displaying the posture of a hero who had defeated the final boss.

He was incredibly handsome!

As for lazy people with white hair.

Having just finished playing, he lazily nuzzled the wind chimes.

The meaning couldn't be clearer—it wanted to go back inside the ball to rest.

Just as everyone was still basking in the joy of victory—

overhead.

The emerald green light cluster suspended at the top of the fifth layer began to change.

The previously silent, surging emerald light suddenly intensified.

The light cluster is rotating faster and faster.

faster and faster.

It was like a green vortex churning wildly above my head.

Immediately afterwards—

The entire fifth floor began to tremble.

Golden lines lit up on the shattered white ground beneath their feet, extending from deep within the ground and spreading like blood vessels to every corner of the platform.

A line of golden text reappeared in everyone's sight.

The World Tree's gift—is arriving.

[The rewards will be calculated based on the damage each player inflicts on the final guardian, the three elemental beasts.]

[Note: The battle for the Ancient Cocoa Tree has ended. All players currently on the tree will be removed.]

Upon seeing this prompt, many people's eyes lit up, and they instinctively began to think about it.

However, now is not the time to think about that.

Everyone looked up at the rapidly spinning emerald light above them.

The ball of light expanded to its limit—

Then--

It exploded.

Countless emerald green lights, like stars, poured down from the sky, covering everyone on the ground.

At the same time.

A dazzling light shone.

The brightness of this light even covered the entire ancient cocoa tree, dazzling and spectacular.

This startled the players who weren't currently on the ancient cocoa tree, causing them to look up in surprise.

"Holy crap, what's going on?"

What happened on the ancient cocoa tree?
