Chapter 270 -270-Rulesmith, the Final Boss!
Inside the factory instance,
A large number of Orefiends, though unable to participate in the Fallen Revelry today, had at least been granted a precious half hour of rest.
They sat wearily atop the mine slopes, their gazes fixed on the enormous projection in the sky.
That was the location of Fallen City—the venue of the Fallen Revelry they had always dreamed of reaching.
But at that moment, the image in the sky suddenly seemed to undergo a dramatic change. A great battle appeared to have broken out there, and the entire city was engulfed in flames!
Th-this... what on earth was happening?
Expressions of shock spread across the Orefiends’ faces, because what they were witnessing was far beyond anything they could comprehend.
How could a city as grand and towering as Fallen City catch fire?
Then, all at once, they realized that the high-ranking demon managers beside them had vanished without a trace!
Wait... what exactly is going on?
"Do you feel it? Why does my body feel like it’s burning?!"
"Me too—I feel like I’m on fire!"
"What’s happening? Why do I suddenly feel like there are so many extra memories in my mind?!"
"We... we’re not called Orefiends. We are... the Divine Stone Race!!"
...
Fallen City, once a prosperous and bustling metropolis, had now been reduced to ashes. Broken walls and ruined structures were everywhere.
The foul stench of blood spread throughout the entire city.
The situation here had even alarmed an Abyss Administrator.
Floating in midair, he silently observed everything that had just taken place.
"So... the Fallen Revelry was destroyed just like that?"
The Abyss Administrator clenched his fist in fury. As the administrator overseeing the Mind Demon race, he was one of the Seven Great Abyss Administrators known as Rulesmith. He was also the true body of the [Maze Keeper] Caelan had previously encountered in the [Dark Maze] instance.
At this very moment, the rage in Rulesmith’s heart had reached its peak.
The Mind Demon race was one of the most capable races under his command, and their production of Spirit Stones was unquestionably the highest of all!
But now?
The entire upper echelon of the Mind Demon race, along with the leadership of the Jesters, had all been wiped out.
How could Rulesmith possibly not be furious?
He immediately flew toward the altar, and there he encountered a familiar figure.
...
Outside Fallen City, at the altar,
After eliminating those high-ranking demons, Caelan had already entered the next phase—happily looting his spoils!
It had to be said, those high-ranking demons really had been carrying quite a few good things.
Not every one of them was as outrageously wealthy as Jester Tycoon, but to Caelan, they still amounted to a very substantial harvest.
But just then, a low and chilling voice sounded beside his ear.
"So... they were all killed by you?"
Caelan paused slightly, then turned around to face Rulesmith directly.
He raised an eyebrow, and an expression of just as I thought appeared on his face.
"So I guessed right. The you in the [Dark Maze] really was only a clone."
In the next moment, Caelan activated [Eye of Insight] and saw through Rulesmith’s status panel.
[Rulesmith (Weakened)]
[Identity: One of the Seven Great Abyss Administrators]
[Level: 700]
[Skills: Rule Establishment, Rule Judgement, Supreme Clone...]
[Description: A being born from twisted rules, one of the Seven Great Abyss Administrators. Because he committed certain mistakes, he was punished by the Lord of the Abyss and thus entered a weakened state.]
The corners of Caelan’s lips lifted slightly, as if he were meeting an old acquaintance. He even raised a hand enthusiastically in greeting.
"Well, well, if it isn’t an old friend. Been a while. How come you’ve gotten weak? Didn’t keep yourself under control?"
To Caelan now, the [Rulesmith] before him was the best prey imaginable.
Under normal circumstances,
The current Caelan was not a match for a complete Abyss Administrator.
But because [Rulesmith] had been injured and had fallen into a weakened state, this was Caelan’s only chance.
An opportunity this good absolutely could not be missed!
Last time, he had only killed a mere clone, yet it had already dropped quite a lot of good loot.
So if he killed the main body this time, just how much good stuff would it drop?
Caelan was already beginning to wonder whether he should throw out a small skill first to test the waters—
But just then, a dazzling streak of starlight slammed straight toward [Rulesmith]’s position!
Rulesmith’s face darkened as he raised an arm. A spatial gate instantly appeared before him.
That brilliant beam of starlight was immediately redirected through the spatial gate to another location. The attack was completely nullified.
Rulesmith looked grimly toward the source of the starlight.
There stood Evelyn, locking eyes with him coldly.
But in the next instant, Evelyn’s figure suddenly vanished, dissolving into specks of starlight.
By the time Rulesmith sensed her presence again, he discovered that she was already standing beside Caelan.
Evelyn stepped forward and wrapped her arms around Caelan’s arm. After confirming that he was unharmed, she quietly let out a breath of relief.
"Caelan, I’ve already taken care of my side. I got the Fragments of History. How’s it going over here?"
Caelan nodded, his eyes shining with the glint of gold coins.
"Pretty much done. Just had an Abyss Administrator pop out. Perfect timing—we’ll kill him and make him drop gold coins!"
At this moment, Caelan had already entered full battle mode, and he felt that he might have just encountered an extraordinary opportunity.
A chance to kill an Abyss Administrator like this—Caelan would never let it slip away.
On the other side, Evelyn had also taken notice of [Rulesmith].
She narrowed her eyes, and then a look of sudden realization appeared on her face.
"So that’s who it is. The boss from the [Dark Maze], huh? Didn’t expect even the main body to come out!"
"How about we team up and beat the hell out of him?"
An eager expression appeared on Evelyn’s face. But just then, the Supreme Staff suddenly spoke.
"You both need to be careful. [Rulesmith] is not so easy to deal with. Although he has entered a weakened state, I can still sense that he remains extremely powerful."
The Supreme Staff was not worried that Caelan and Evelyn would be in danger.
But it knew very well that neither of them had yet reached 6-star strength, which meant they could not fully unleash the true power of the Chosen Ones.
Because of that, killing [Rulesmith] would not be an easy task.
On the other side, after noticing Evelyn, Rulesmith was also briefly taken aback.
"How interesting. So the inheritor has joined forces with the Chosen One?"
