"Ding!"
"Detected battle, dropped reward: Soul Eating (Darkness Resident)"
"Ding!"
"Detected battle, dropped reward: Virtualization (Darkness Resident)"
"Ding!"
"..."
The string of drop rewards made Samuel feel as if he was back in the Justice League Universe fighting the Trench.
One attack would inevitably drop a dense mass of rewards.
Samuel swung his fist at the nearest Darkness Resident, the wind from his punch whistling, the force surging. With his current strength, very few things could withstand a punch aimed at killing and not die.
However, when this punch was thrown, the opponent was completely unharmed. His fist passed through its body without any obstruction, as if it were a holographic image, completely lacking a physical form.
Virtualization!
Ordinary attack methods were indeed ineffective against it.
Samuel's thoughts stirred slightly, and a Dragon Scale arrow from the quiver on his back suddenly shot out with a whoosh, flying straight towards a Darkness Resident approaching outside the Still Force field.
"Hiss!"
Firelight flared, sparks flew, and the Darkness Resident pierced by the Dragon Scale arrow instantly turned to ashes.
This wasn't the end; this arrow didn't fall or return, but darted around in the air, continuously hunting the Darkness Residents.
Ignoring the constant dinging sounds in his ears, Samuel once again swung his fist at the Darkness Resident from before.
This time, his fist was covered in a biological force field.
"Bang!"
With one punch, the Darkness Resident was directly blown apart.
Samuel turned and swung his fist again at the other Darkness Residents.
This time it wasn't a biological force field, but the Dragon Force.
"Bang!"
The result was the same; the Darkness Resident was also blown apart.
Chaos Magic.
Exploded!
God Power.
Exploded!
magic energy.
Exploded!
Qi.
Exploded!
Even Mister Negative's negative energy and Nightshade's shadow energy could cause substantial damage to it.
Oh, and Mutant Magik's Spiritual Energy armor and Soul Blade were also effective.
Conversely, superpowers like Hot Ray, Control Magnetic Field, gravity control, Killer Frost, sound waves, Manipulating Atoms, gas transformation, emerald fire, and Shockwave were unable to cause any damage.
After roughly understanding the situation of the Darkness Residents, Samuel stopped wasting time. Dark red light illuminated his hands, and the Chaos Magic surged out.
A reddish glow like a sunset lit up the dark space, and hundreds of Darkness Residents turned to ashes under the illumination of the red light.
Samuel recalled the rampaging Dragon Scale arrow, kept the Still Force field active, and advanced deeper.
Chaos Magic clearing the way, sweeping the area!
Vast numbers of Darkness Residents perished under Samuel's invincible monster-clearing mode.
After more than ten minutes, the huge space had become incredibly empty, and the final BOSS, the Soul-Devouring Monster, finally appeared before Samuel.
Big and ugly.
This was Samuel's first impression of the Soul-Devouring Monster.
It had a pair of huge butterfly-like wings, a human-like body with four limbs and four claws, and a gaping maw filled with sharp, pointed fangs.
Its tail had several long tendrils, similar to tentacles.
"Roar!"
The Soul-Devouring Monster opened its mouth and let out a roar, its sound like a bell, deafening; its wind like a hurricane, turning the World upside down.
The wind stopped abruptly when it reached the Still Force field.
Samuel picked his ears and chuckled softly, "I've given you the grand entrance. Now, you can go collect your lunchbox."
With that, the Still Force field disappeared, and azure Speed Force lightning lit up around his body.
Outside the Darkness Gate, by the lake shore.
Guang Bo, Suzy, and Ying Nan, along with the residents of Taro Village, looked up towards the cliff where the Darkness Gate was located, each holding their breath, their expressions solemn.
"Roar!"
A deafening roar echoed from within the Darkness Gate, and upon hearing the sound, everyone couldn't help but worry for Samuel.
These people had never truly seen what the Soul-Devouring Monster looked like or how terrifying it was, but the education they had received since childhood had already made them regard the Soul-Devouring Monster as an invincible devil, a monster!
"Sister, will he be alright?" Ying Nan couldn't help but grasp Suzy's hand, asking softly with worry.
Ying Nan was already sweating from tension.
Suzy was the same.
But at this moment, the sisters didn't even notice these things.
"I believe in him," Suzy murmured.
Inside the Darkness Gate, there wasn't just the Soul-Devouring Monster, but also an endless supply of Darkness Residents. Him going in alone was no different from seeking death.
She was also very worried, but there was nothing she could do.
She couldn't open the Darkness Gate for Samuel, and Guang Bo and the others wouldn't allow it either.
It wasn't that she didn't care about Samuel's life or death. If the person inside were Ying Nan or anyone else, the result would be the same.
Even if she were the one inside, she wouldn't allow others to open the Darkness Gate to save her.
This was the duty and mission of everyone in their Taro Village.
Now, she only hoped that Samuel could come out safely. As for whether he could completely destroy the Soul-Devouring Monster, that was no longer as important.
"Look, the Divine Dragon suddenly left the cliff."
Guang Bo suddenly shouted, and with a solemn expression, he waved his hand, signaling the people around him to get ready.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
Long staffs, long blades, shields, bows and arrows, all tightly gripped, poised and ready.
The Divine Dragon's actions gave them a bad premonition, Samuel—could he have failed?
Samuel said he could communicate with the Divine Dragon, and he had already proven this point.
They originally thought he would deal with the Soul-Devouring Monster together with the Divine Dragon, but they didn't expect him to go in alone.
Now that the Divine Dragon suddenly flew away from the Darkness Gate, it was inevitable for them to wonder if the Divine Dragon had sensed Samuel's failure.
If Samuel had succeeded, the Divine Dragon shouldn't have reacted like this.
"Sister!" Ying Nan couldn't help but call out again.
Suzy didn't speak, her dark eyes fixed intently on the Darkness Gate.
"Bang!"
A loud noise came from the direction of the Darkness Gate.
The massive Darkness Gate trembled violently, as if some huge creature was fiercely crashing against it.
"Everyone, prepare."
Guang Bo took a deep breath.
Given the current situation, it was highly likely that the Soul-Devouring Monster was about to break free.
"Bang!"
Another loud noise.
In an instant, the ground shook, the mountains swayed, and the sky and earth seemed to collapse.
The Darkness Gate crumbled, and a huge creature quickly flew out from inside.
The Soul-Devouring Monster was out!
Everyone's hearts tensed.
Just as they were preparing to face the Soul-Devouring Monster and its dense army of Darkness Residents, they were surprised to find that the Darkness Residents, which should have been overwhelmingly numerous, didn't appear at all.
Following that, they noticed something unusual.
The posture in which the Soul-Devouring Monster flew out didn't look like it was breaking free from a seal; instead... instead, it looked like it had been blasted out by someone!
"Splash, splash, splash..."
The sound of flowing Water rose.
The lake Water surged up into the sky, actually transforming into a Water Dragon, as if it had been prepared long ago, and crashed towards the flying Soul-Devouring Monster.
"Bang!"
Water droplets splashed.
The Soul-Devouring Monster let out a painful cry, and its massive body involuntarily flew back towards the direction of the Darkness Gate.
At the same time, a figure that was very small in comparison suddenly appeared on the cliff.
Facing the flying Soul-Devouring Monster, he slowly pulled back his arm and clenched his fist.
