Dungeon Predator - Chapter 508. The Battle with Jigon (1)

The darkness that devoured Mayanes Orga’s body disappeared like the night giving way to dawn.

[You have defeated the Bow of Arrogance, Mayanes Orga.]

[You have cast judgment on an unforgivable criminal, who not only insulted the gods but also attempted to supplant them.]

[Fame has increased significantly. You will become more well-known to people of faith in particular.]

[Several churches will welcome you. You can accrue contribution points more easily now, and also accept quests from the churches.]

[You have partially completed the Goddess’s Quest.]

[Remaining Mayanes: 3]

The God of Creation’s source, which glimmered like a star, and the ‘Bow of Anger’ floated in the water.

Kang Oh, still in his demon form, quickly snatched them up.

With its creator dead, the giant worm quickly melted away like chocolate ice cream. Countless people, both living and dead, popped out of it.

However, those barely living would die soon. After all, they had suddenly reappeared underwater.

Kang Oh quickly pulled them to the surface, but he wasn’t sure how many of them would survive.

Sara helped out too.

If he’d asked Tasha to help, she would cross her arms and look at him like he’s crazy, but Sara didn’t have negative feelings towards humans.

Kang Oh popped out of the water, took a look around, and saw red/black flames flickering everywhere.

‘Yeah, it’s not over yet.’

Kang Oh turned his head and searched for Gainus.

Because he was so large, it was easy to find the white-scaled dragon.

He was curled up on the bottom of the lake. Kang Oh could see Eder and his undead monsters beside him.

Bam.

Kang Oh kicked at the water. The dark red wings on his back moved in sync, and pushed away the water.

His body was propelled forward.

Sara slowly followed him.

‘Mm!’

Gainus clearly wasn’t in good shape. His back was burnt black, and there were teeth marks all over his body, which continuously bled red shards of light.

Both of his eyes were closed, so he must be unconscious.

Tap.

Kang Oh approached Eder and grasped his shoulder.

Eder turned his head and looked into his eyes.

Kang Oh pointed at Gainus. ‘How is he?’

Eder shook his head concernedly. ‘He’s not doing well.’

Orga’s fake Leviathan had mimicked the original’s special ability.

Poison!

It was an extremely lethal poison.

The poison was dangerous enough that even Eder wasn’t capable of treating it properly. It made Kang Oh wonder why this poison wasn’t part of the top 10 most lethal poisons in Arth.

If he wasn’t a dragon, the Divine Dragon at that, then the poison would’ve claimed his life a long time ago.

Anyhow, based on Eder’s expression and actions, Kang Oh could tell how bad Gainus’s condition was.

Kang Oh concernedly stared at Gainus.

‘He won’t die, will he? After all, he’s the Divine Dragon.’

They most likely wouldn’t be able to rely on his help to fight Jigon.

Kang Oh tapped Eder’s shoulder. ‘Watch over him.’

‘Understood.’ Eder nodded his head and clasped his hands as if in prayer.

He was probably saying something like ‘Please be careful’, or ‘I pray that you are victorious’.

Kang Oh gave him a thumbs up, and forcefully kicked at the water. His wings supported him, pushing the water away.

Swoosh!

Kang Oh shot upwards like a rocket being sent off to space. Sara followed after him.

Mayanes Jigon was incredibly powerful with the Black Sun in hand. After all, it annihilated anyone who even so much as touched it.

Bart, Helena, Cyndia and her companions, and the Draco Tribe felt like they were in hell.

No, they were already there.

Half of the paladins, priests, and Draco Tribe had died. They were either burnt to cinders, or were completely annihilated without a trace.

Because Sephiro had punctured a hole in Jigon’s wings, he relentlessly attacked him, which drove the pair crazy.

The Black Sun repeatedly came at him.

Like right now!

“Die!”

Roar!

The black flames flickered, and came straight for Sephiro and Waryong.

Kyaa!

Waryong desperately cried out, and flapped its wings as fast as it could.

“You can do it, Waryong!” Sephiro desperately yelled.

Waryong was special amongst the wyverns, which were known for their skill in flying. It was a mutant wyvern that spat flames, not poison, and had red skin as well. Its wings were also much larger than its peers.

Thus, it flew with the skill of an adult wyvern, even though Sephiro was riding on its back.

Because of that, they had remained safe.

The black flames lashed out like a snake’s tongue, almost singing Waryong’s tail, but it barely managed to dodge it.

Sephiro gritted his teeth and shot another arrow at Jigon.

Since he knew he’d be fighting the Mayanes, he had brought along a few special arrows. That arrow had been one of them.

After all, normal arrows would’ve burned up before they even left his grasp.

Whizz.

There was a sphere at the end of it, rather than an arrowhead.

Thwock!

The sphere grew, and released its contents.

It was the spit of a ‘Kono Kono’ monster. It was used as a type of glue in Arth.

The monster’s spit was extremely sticky.

Jigon extended his off-hand.

Spiral Flame!

Spiraling flames gradually got larger and larger in his palm.

Hiss!

The flames burnt away the Kono Kono spit, turning it into black smoke.

Then, Jigon’s statuesque face contorted.

“Uhaht!”

He covered his nose due to the foul stench.

If burnt, Kono Kono saliva would smell incredibly foul. Sephiro had known about this all along.

Jigon had covered up his nose, and his body completely stiffened.

“Hoo.”

Sephiro and Waryong used that chance to take a breather.

Their companions did the same.

The Draco Tribe and the Church of Death had already incurred severe casualties. They all widened the distance between them and Jigon.

The Black Sun was a blade that couldn’t be used for an extended period of time. Thus, they had to stay alive for as long as possible!

Their mindset was ‘Even if I die, I have to buy even 1 more second of time’.

Bart and Helena knew that just avoiding his attacks wasn’t the answer. Thus, when he was frozen solid, they attacked him immediately.

Chaos Sphere!

Bart created a sphere of light and darkness, two disparate elements that shouldn’t mix, and then launched the unstable sphere at Jigon.

“…Punish him!” Helena quickly completed her incantation.

Thousand Chain Lightning!

It was great magic cast whilst using Overload.

Crackle! Crackle! Crackle! Crackle!

Blue lightning flew from her staff, enveloping the sky.

Jigon scowled and swung the Black Sun in a large arc.

Roar!

The black flames incinerated the Chaos Sphere and the lightning bolts, which spread out like spider webs.

Bart clicked his tongue, and Helena bit her lip.

The Black Sun.

It was a tremendous blade that annihilated both skills and spells!

“Grr.”

Jigon pinched his nose; he must still be smelling the Kono Kono saliva.

Then, he angrily raised his hand.

Sun God’s Judgment!

Countless flaming spears appeared in the air.

Their faces were overcast by deep shadows.

The flaming spears and the Black Sun would result in several more of their comrades’ deaths.

However…!

Jigon’s face suddenly stiffened, and he didn’t let loose the flaming spears.

‘What’s going on?’ Sephiro analyzed Jigon, and looked around all over the place.

He saw Orga’s water turn black, and then turn back to normal. It was one of Kang Oh’s darkness skills that he occasionally used.

‘Did Mr. Kang Oh finish off Orga?’

That’s right. He did.

That’s why Jigon had suddenly stiffened.

Orga’s presence had completely disappeared.

The God of Creation’s source made Orga immortal. However, his presence had ‘completely’ disappeared. It was as if it had never existed in the first place. That wouldn’t happen unless he were dead.

In other words…!

‘That fearsome sword that killed Krishan and my comrades is in the water.’

Jigon recalled the jet-black blade that radiated darkness. Then, he started to think about it.

Orga was already dead, and the only blade that could kill him was still in the water.

Moreover, Gainus could pop out of the water.

So was there a reason for him to stay and fight?

‘I don’t sense the God of Creation’s source in the water.’

His life was much more valuable to him than the God of Creation’s source.

Ultimately, Jigon decided to retreat.

‘This is a final parting gift!’ Jigon lowered his hand.

The flaming spears shot everywhere. Kang Oh’s companions either protected themselves or tried to avoid them.

Bam!

Jigon stretched out his white wings and tried to fly away.

But then…!

As if he were waiting for him to do that…

Whizz!

An arrow with an orb instead of an arrowhead shot at him.

Thwock.

The orb grew, and sticky Kono Kono saliva sprayed onto Jigon’s body.

‘Damn!’

He knew that if he burned it, it would unleash a truly foul smell.

Ultimately, he had no choice but to swing the Black Sun and burn it all away. However, Sephiro was clever. He had shot the arrow at the opposite end of his body, the part that wasn’t holding the Black Sun.

Jigon would be forced to slowly turn his body around in order to swing the Black Sun and burn away the Kono Kono saliva.

So he was already too late.

The Kono Kono saliva had gotten on Jigon’s wing.

“Damn it!” Jigon yelled furiously, and tried moving his wing. Unfortunately, he couldn’t properly move his half folded wing.

It wasn’t like he couldn’t fly, but he wouldn’t be able to fly at any respectable speed.

“He’s trying to run away. We have to stop him!” Sephiro yelled.

He was riding atop Waryong. Thus, he left dodging to Waryong, and focused on what was in front of him.

That’s why he had seen what Jigon was trying to do, and made an effort to stop him.

Bart and Helena reacted to him first.

They dodged the flaming spears, and attacked Jigon on both sides.

Of course, they made sure to stay clear of the Black Sun!

Jigon furiously swung the Black Sun. ‘Get out of my way!’

Bart saw the Black Sun coming his way, and smirked.

‘This is fun.’

He did a lap in the air.

Absolute Evasion!

He dodged the Black Sun by using an Archer’s prized survival skill.

Bam!

There was a giant clump of ice on Jigon’s back, courtesy of Helena.

Jigon bent his hand.

Sun God’s Scar!

A flaming claw came flying at Helena. However, it wasn’t an attack that she couldn’t block. After all, it wasn’t the Black Sun.

Water Barrier!

Ice Shield!

Using Double Casting, she cast both spells simultaneously.

Boom!

The Ice Shield was split into six pieces. The flaming claw cut straight through the Water Barrier as well.

Hiss.

Thick steam rose.

“Huahk!” Jigon screamed, and swung the Black Sun once more.

His blade extended, which cut through the steam. However, Helena wasn’t there anymore. She had gotten herself out right after casting Water Barrier.

At that moment…

Splash!

A water pillar surged into the air, and out came a demon with dark red wings, demonic horns, and a beast mask.

Behind him was an exhausted Sara.

Jigon widened his eyes. ‘That sword!’

Demon Sword Ubist. That blade had killed several of his companions, and was even capable of killing him.
