Outside the pyramid.

The battle between Alyssa and [Hellhound Cerberus] had already reached a white-hot stage.

Although Alyssa’s [Silver Lance] had an attribute advantage against [Hellhound Cerberus], the problem was that [Hellhound Cerberus] was extremely agile. Moreover, each of its three heads possessed a different attribute.

Caelan stood to one side, silently observing the battle while forming his own judgment of Alyssa’s strength.

At present, with the enhancement of [Living Armor], Alyssa’s upper limit had been greatly increased.

Although she could not kill [Hellhound Cerberus] within a short period of time, she was basically suppressing the monster the entire time.

So... should he increase the difficulty for her a little?

Thinking of this, the corners of Caelan’s mouth curved upward slightly, revealing a faint wicked smile.

"Alyssa, you don’t seem to have brought out your full strength. Since that’s the case, I’ll have to make things a bit more difficult for you."

On the other side, Alyssa had just dodged the rain of fireballs spat out by [Hellhound Cerberus].

Before she even had time to catch her breath, she heard Caelan’s words, and her vision almost went black.

"Lord Caelan, aren’t you—"

"All right, there’s no need to explain. I’ll arrange everything for you."

After Caelan finished speaking, he lightly snapped his fingers. In the next moment, the longsword behind him floated into the air on its own.

This scene instantly stunned the Awakeners watching from afar.

Among these Awakeners, it was not as if there were no sword-type Awakeners. However, their understanding of a longsword was that it was simply a weapon.

After holding it, one used various sword techniques and ultimately killed monsters.

But before Caelan, no one had ever thought that a longsword could actually be controlled remotely!

Yet immediately afterward, these sword-type Awakeners discovered a fatal problem.

That was...

Why could Caelan control a longsword remotely?

Wasn’t this supposed to fall under the domain of magic-type Awakeners?

Just as they fell into confusion, Caelan, on the other side, controlled the longsword and made it rapidly circle through the inside of the pyramid!

The sword moved incredibly fast. In just a few short breaths, it was already so fast that almost no afterimages could be seen.

Not only that, but the entire interior of the pyramid seemed to have been swept up by a storm of blades. A violent Sword Rain continuously fell, causing the whole pyramid to become shaky and unstable.

"What is Big Shot Caelan trying to do? Don’t tell me he’s planning to tear down the entire pyramid?"

"Don’t say it. Seriously, don’t say it! Because I actually think that’s very possible!"

"Damn, as expected of Big Shot Caelan. The moment he makes a move, it’s something huge, far beyond the imagination of ordinary people like us!"

In the next moment, amid flashes of blades and sword shadows, the enormous pyramid actually collapsed from the inside!

All the bosses appeared in the first-floor boss battle area almost at the same time.

Originally, Alyssa had finally found a decent opportunity and was preparing to counterattack [Hellhound Cerberus].

But just as she was about to launch her attack, she sensed several powerful auras appearing around her!

Some of these auras were so strong that Alyssa even felt a tremor rising from the depths of her soul.

So she instinctively pulled back for the time being and returned to Caelan’s side.

"Lord Caelan, with this many bosses, I think I..."

Caelan seemed to have already guessed the worry in Alyssa’s heart. He smiled faintly, then handed Alyssa a card.

"Don’t you want to try what it feels like to become a Deathborn?"

"Oh, right. I paired you with a few little companions. I hope you’ll like them."

Alyssa accepted the transformation card from Caelan in a daze. In the next moment, she chose to use it without hesitation.

And so, under everyone’s watchful eyes, Alyssa, who originally represented holiness, suddenly vanished.

Her entire aura also disappeared completely from the Instance in an instant.

But in the next moment, the figure of [Lady of the Dark Moon] appeared on the battlefield.

Accompanied by pure and clear moonlight, a noble lady dressed in a formal gown with a V-shaped neckline appeared on the battlefield.

Her black gown was dotted with specks of starlight, making her seem both noble and mysterious.

On her long, slender legs, the thin black stockings further accentuated her mysterious identity.

Caelan froze slightly. Then a strange expression appeared on his face.

His gaze lingered on Alyssa for a few seconds, his eyes filled with confusion.

It was just a Deathborn transformation, so why had she grown up too?

On the other side, Alyssa also sensed the changes in her own body.

Subconsciously, she summoned her [Silver Lance].

However, the originally holy [Silver Lance] now had a layer of bewitching purple dyed across its surface.

[Silver Lance—Corrupted]

[Description: A once-holy weapon that has been contaminated by a certain aura, falling into its current state. However, its power seems to have become even stronger.]

Alyssa had not expected that after transforming into a Deathborn, such a massive change would occur.

And...

Lord Caelan’s gaze seemed to have become a little gentler?

Just then, the bosses on the other side had already launched their attacks.

Their target was Alyssa’s position. As for Caelan, they completely ignored him.

Facing the siege of these bosses, Alyssa no longer felt any fear. Instead, her eyes were filled with battle intent!

"[Silver Judgment]!" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

A single spear radiance fell upon the bosses like a meteor shower.

But before Alyssa could inflict any real damage, the bosses’ attacks arrived as well.

Alyssa gritted her teeth. If she were facing a single boss, she would not mind trading injuries and forcefully enduring the attack.

After all, [Living Armor] had given her plenty of confidence.

The problem was that the bosses she was facing now were not one or two.

There were a full ten of them!

Although she felt extremely frustrated, after one strike, she still chose to temporarily avoid their sharp edge.

At that moment, Caelan’s calm voice came from behind her.

"Alyssa, don’t forget. You still have your little companions."

In the next moment, ten [Divine Mirror Dragonlords] descended from the sky!

Only, because of Deathborn, their appearances had also changed.

Compared to the mysterious aura of the [Divine Mirror Dragonlord], the [Deathborn Dragon] had lost some of that mystery and instead gained a sense of death and madness!

With the [Deathborn Dragons] joining the battlefield, Alyssa immediately felt as if she had taken some kind of stimulant. She charged forward as though entering a land without enemies.

"Again!"

Alyssa gripped her lance horizontally and smashed it fiercely down onto [Hellhound Cerberus]’s forehead!

"Your teammate Alyssa has successfully killed the boss [Hellhound Cerberus]!"
