Chapter 849 The Age Of Heroes Ends Now
-----
An found himself trapped in a world of water, where his mes could simply not be conjured. His powers were being slowly drained by the dungeon itself, and he was being constantly attacked by several fierce monsters,ing from the depths of the dungeon''s waters.
It was the worst possible case scenario he could imagine! And as the monstrous marine beasts surrounded him and attempted to take bites off him, he fiercely fought back. He was able to conjure a bubble of air to breathe, but breathing or not wasn''t really the issue here!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CRAAASH!
He desperately fought underwater, constantly being bitten, and shed by the beasts. His sword, even if it could not unleash mes, fiercely glowed with bright light, shing apart the monsters one after another.
"RAAAAAH! [Sunlight de Arts]: [Piercing Sunshine sh]!"
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLAAASH!
Although light could not go water so easily, it was much easier to conjure than mes, as he easily shed through countless monsters while seeking a way out of this ce.
"Tch… There''s no way out at all! This is really a dungeon… Can I conjure Dimensional sh with my current Mana?" An wondered, suddenly sensing a stronger presence lurking behind him.
FLAAAAASH!
In a single second, he saw arge figure emerge from behind him, almost cutting him in half with a gigantic ck pincer… It wasn''t another crab monster though; it was something much bigger and monstrous this time.
CRAAAAASSH!
"Hahaha, I almost got caught! Now, where did youe from?" An smiled even before adversities, ncing at the new adversary that had appeared.
A huge, over five meters tall insectoid demon with the appearance of a ck mantis shrimp, it held a huge head, with sharp red eyes ring at him. His two ws were especially designed like those animals, capable of punching anything to pieces.
"It looks like you''re not half bad, hero." Laughed the Demon. "My name is Erphemides, an apprentice and former servant of Lord Beelzebub, the man you killed."
"So you''re like Arachne…" An sighed. "I am assuming I can''t talk you out of this, yes?" He smiled hopelessly, as his sword started shining with even more light.
"That shouldn''t even be a question that crosses your mind, human." Erphemides spoke. "I will protect Arachne and avenge Lord Beelzebub. My sister has built this world especially for me. As I am much stronger underwater, while you''re weaker. We''ve prepared this for a long time, waiting for you toe here, and-"
"You talk too much!"
FLAAAASH!
An swam at a rapid speed, reaching Erphemides and unleashing a barrage of powerful attacks, as his body started overflowing with Spiritual Energy from his many Spirits within his Soul Scape!
"[Sunlight de Arts]: [Celestial Sun sh]!"
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLAAAASSSH!!!
Each sh leftrge scars over his opponent''s hard ck exoskeleton, and constantly pushed him back, but Erphemides simply smiled back.
"I shouldn''t had expected anything less from human trash." Both of his gigantic ws moved at super-fast speed, unleashing two tremendously strong barrages against An, piercing through his shing blows!
CRAAAAASSSH! CRAAAAASSSH!
"UNNGHH?!"
An felt some of his ribs breaking, as he was thrown down into the waters depths. The pressure was so powerful that his air bubble popped immediately.
"Dammit! This bastard''s ws are too strong! What in the world-"n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om
BAAAAAAMMM…!
But before he could even analyze the situation any further, Erphemides'' w reached An''s neck, hitting it with tremendous strength.
"This might be over faster than I imagined… The age of heroes ends now."
CRAAAAAAASSSSHHH…!

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
Several beams of pure holy light rained down over Shade''s body, as his shadows constantly weakened more and more, his entire body was fading away with each second.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The beams shouldn''t even be that strong, but because of the state in which he found himself, they were. His shadows dissipated faster and faster, as he desperately feed on his own Mana to regenerate himself.
"You damn bastards never give up! [Assassination Dagger Arts]: [Element-less Aura shes]!"
Shade roared with fury, as he swung both of his knives at once, unleashing two powerful shes of his pure mana, which he had managed to control so well that they easily sliced through the angelic creatures chasing him down!
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLAAAASSSH!
"GRYAAAAGHH…!"
"GRUAAAAHH…!"
"GYEEEEHH…!"
Dozens of monsters died at once against his mighty blows. Even as weakened as he was, he could do as much as this while he sought an exit. However, much like An, he started to realize there was no such thing.
"This entire ce is epassed on a pocket dimension of its own. I see. So it is truly that type of dungeon…" Shade thought, running away from more beams of light. "Tch, fuck off!!!"
Shade roared with anger, shing against the monsters once more!
FLAAAAAASH!
However, his attack didn''t hit any of them, and instead, an even brighter light surged from within the pure white skies, Shade squinted his eyes, trying to decipher what in the world intercepted his attack.
A tall, feminine figure appeared, of over four meters of height, with a big and bright insect abdomen resembling those of firefly, her body was elegant, finely covered on ck and gold exoskeleton, with long blonde hair, and sharp silver eyes.
"Oh my, what an honor is to see the Hero of Darkness, Shade. Fufufu…" She giggled, waving her six hands, as several spheres of pure light emerged. "It is a pity that I''ll have to kill you, you''re such a handsome man~"
"Who are you?! Another of Arachne''s ves?" Shade asked.
"ve?! How rude! Arachne is my big sister." The womanughed. "And my name is Divinaphiles, as you can see, I''ve trained all my life to kill you… Does it hurt? My light~?"
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLAAASH!
Divinaphiles unleashed several beams of pure holy light against Shade, piercing through his defensive element-less shields of pure mana and his shing blows, as his entire body was filled with countless of holes, dissipating faster and faster!
"Ungh?! Argh…!" Shade groaned in agony.
"I expected a bit more, but things might end sooner than I imagined…" Divinaphilesughed, gathering even more light. "[Celestial Shine]!"
FLAAAAAAAASSSSH!!!
