Chapter 337: 99.99%?!

"We can’t keep going like this..."

One of the Dark Hydra heroes spoke coldly, his eyes sharp and ruthless. "We need more reinforcements. And we can’t keep playing it safe anymore. We throw everything we’ve got at her—Black Dragons, our own lives if we have to. That’s the only way we’re going to take her down. If we keep dragging this out, more and more Black Dragons are going to die at her hands. And in the end... we’ll be the ones who lose."

"Then we bury her in Black Dragon corpses!"

"I don’t believe for a second that even with us, plus two hundred—hell, even four hundred Black Dragons—we still can’t kill her! She’s only just gone through her second awakening. She’s not invincible!" another hero, this one from the Venomspike Manticore faction, growled in agreement.

"Then let’s do it!"

"Bring in another hundred—no, two hundred more Black Dragons! I want her dead!"

Boom. Boom.

...

As the Dungeon Lords reached a terrifying consensus,

They actually summoned another two hundred Black Dragons to swarm Seraphina.

With the ones already there, the total number of Black Dragons now neared three hundred. Add in the Dungeon Lords themselves, and the sheer force gathered was enough to make anyone’s blood run cold.

But even with all that, Seraphina didn’t show a flicker of fear.

If anything, she looked even more exhilarated.

This kind of overwhelming enemy...

She was loving every second of it.

"Shit... are they insane?! They’re throwing that many Black Dragons at Seraphina?!" Ethan’s face twisted in disbelief as he cursed under his breath.

He quickly turned to Elynn beside him. "Elynn, who should we send to back her up? Cicero? Kyros? Someone else?!"

But to his surprise, Elynn shook her head.

Ethan blinked, confused, but Elynn’s eyes were fixed on the sky, filled with awe and envy as she watched the massive dragon tearing through the battlefield. Her voice was soft, almost reverent. "Master, I don’t think we need to send anyone... not yet. Look closely—Her Highness Seraphina is enjoying this. And with her strength, even against three hundred Black Dragons and those Dungeon Lords... they can’t touch her."

"For a true dragon warrior, war isn’t a burden. It’s in their blood. It’s what makes them feel alive."

"And look at her eyes, Master. She’s not afraid. She’s thrilled."

Ethan paused, then looked up at the sky.

BOOM!

Right then, Seraphina slammed a claw into one Black Dragon and kicked another straight out of the air.

Black Dragon blood sprayed across her body—thick, dark, and steaming—but instead of looking grotesque, it made her seem even more terrifying, like a goddess of war drenched in the blood of her enemies.

And just like Elynn said, Seraphina looked completely unhinged—in the best way. She was covered in blood, but grinning wildly, her battle lust burning like wildfire. She was reveling in it.

Seeing that, Ethan couldn’t help but smile and shake his head. "Alright... let’s leave her to it, then."

Meanwhile, with the vast majority of Black Dragons drawn to Seraphina like moths to a flame, the rest of the battlefield suddenly felt a whole lot lighter for the Emerald Castle forces.

In fact, they were starting to gain the upper hand.

Especially Cicero—quiet and unassuming on the surface, but cutting through enemy lines like a blade through silk. His path was a trail of instant kills, and Ethan couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of satisfaction watching him work.

The others weren’t slacking either. They might not be on Seraphina or Cicero’s level, but they were holding their own. Elyra and Zyraxis, the two god-tier mages, were practically tearing the battlefield apart with their spells.

And Kyros—the Crimson Ultimate hero?

He was in a league of his own.

...

In the beginning, Kyros had been fully focused on supporting the Sacred Kirin. While the Kirin reshaped the battlefield into a vast oceanic environment, he held back from going on the offensive.

But now that the transformation was complete—an immense, boundless sea conjured into existence—the Crimson Ultimate Hero, hailed as the God of the Ocean, finally unleashed his full power.

"ROAR!"

RUMMMMMMBLE—

The moment Kyros opened his mouth, the entire sea erupted into chaos. The surface churned with an overwhelming surge of magical energy, so intense it made your skin crawl. Towering tsunamis rose like mountains, blotting out the sky.

And they just kept coming.

In that instant, every standard unit of the Dungeon army caught within the ocean zone was suddenly slowed to a crawl, as if some ancient, unfathomable force was pressing down on them. Their movements were sluggish, like they were wading through molasses.

At the same time, the Sacred Kirin and Kirin stepped forward, their eyes glowing with divine fury. They joined forces and activated their innate ability—Tsunami.

BOOOOOOM—

A cataclysmic wave exploded outward, a wall of water so massive and violent it looked like a horde of sea dragons crashing down on the battlefield. The ocean surged in every direction, swallowing everything in its path.

In the blink of an eye, the Dungeon army within the ocean zone was screaming in agony, their cries sharp and piercing.

"Zyraxis, let’s go!" Elyra shouted, her eyes blazing as her mana reserves finally began to recover. She turned toward Zyraxis, who stood not far away.

"Move out!" Zyraxis didn’t hesitate for a second.

Now was the time to strike—while the enemy was reeling, while the tide was in their favor.

And honestly, the combo attack from Kyros and the Sacred Kirin was absolutely devastating. Even if it couldn’t instantly kill Legendary Units, it was more than enough to leave them critically wounded.

All Elyra and Zyraxis had to do was finish the job—make sure those enemies didn’t get a chance to recover.

"Triple Divine Storm!"

As Elyra spoke, three massive Divine Storms roared down from the sky like blazing rivers of light, crashing into the ocean outside Emerald Castle. The impact triggered a blinding white explosion, lighting up the battlefield like a second sun.

Raw, unfiltered magical energy surged outward in every direction.

"Oblivion Surge!" Zyraxis followed up immediately. A colossal black beam of energy—like a spear from the heavens—pierced through the clouds and slammed into the sea.

BOOM!

RUMMMMMMBLE—

The resulting explosion was apocalyptic. Black and white magic collided in a violent clash, erupting into a massive mushroom cloud that towered over the battlefield.

In that moment, Ethan’s ears were flooded with a rapid-fire barrage of system notifications.

Ding! "Congratulations, player Valkarion! Your Hero Unit, Kirin Kyros, has successfully leveled up to 47!"

Ding! "Congratulations, player Valkarion! Your Hero Unit, Mana Crystal Dragon Zyraxis, has successfully leveled up to 65!"

Ding! "Congratulations, player Valkarion! Your Hero Unit, Green Dragon Cicero, has successfully leveled up to 51!"

Ding!

"Congratulations, player Valkarion! Your personal Hero Level has increased to 57!"

"...Wait, I hit 57?"

Ethan blinked, stunned for a second. Then his eyes lit up with excitement. Level 57—he knew exactly what that meant. That was the threshold for Second Awakening!

Without wasting a second, he pulled up his character panel.

"99.99%?!"

Ethan stared at the number, then let out a dry chuckle and shook his head. "Figures. Becoming a Crimson Ultimate Hero isn’t gonna be that easy, huh? Another 99.99%..."

He sighed, half amused, half exasperated. "No idea how hard it’s gonna be to push that last fraction of a percent."

Still, even though he hadn’t managed to break through to the Crimson Ultimate tier during his Second Awakening, he wasn’t exactly crushed by it either.

After all, he wasn’t just a solo hero—he was a Lord-tier player.

And in that role, what mattered most wasn’t just his own strength, but the power of the Hero Units under his command. As long as they kept getting stronger, his personal level wasn’t the end-all-be-all.

He could live with that.
