Alan stepped forward as he looked at the Dantalion body being broken apart as he said " It's still not enough"
He raised his sword.
Dantalion didn't try to stop him.
"…I will be waiting you in the 25th hell."
Alan swung.
Clang—!
" 100,000 Army Massacre Sword!"
A massive slash tore at whatever was left of the Dantalion's incarnation.
CRACK—!
The remaining structure of Dantalion's body shattered instantly.
Light and dark energy burst outward at the same time.
BOOM—!
The chamber shook one last time.
Fragments of black energy scattered into the air and slowly faded away.
Silence returned in the black crystals room.
Only the broken ground and cracked walls remained.
Alan lowered his sword slowly.
A series of notifications appeared in front of him.

[ Level Up ]

[ You have acquired: Fragment of Dantalion's Authority ]
[ You have acquired: Demon Knowledge Core (Unique) ]
[ You have acquired Dantalion's Sword : Legendary Rank.]
Alan looked at the notifications calmly.
"…Not bad."
But his eyes stopped at one reward.
Fragment of Authority.
He narrowed his eyes slightly.
"…This might be more useful than everything else."
New rewards appeared in front of him.
[ Rune of Predation ]
[ Dantalion's Power ]
[ Book of Omniscience ]
– Generates a random skill each month.
– Each skill can only be used once every 24 hours.
– Only one skill can be active at a time.
"Hmm… I don't know how useful this will be," Alan muttered as he examined it.
Then his attention shifted to the next reward.
[ Demon Knowledge Core ]– Allows the user to acquire one random skill up to Unique Rank.
"Hmm… it's decent, but it still depends on luck," he said quietly.
Without thinking much, he used it immediately.
[ You have consumed Demon Knowledge Core ]
[ Generating a random skill… ]
A brief pause.
Then—
[ You have obtained the skill: Thunder Sword (Epic Rank) ]
Alan looked at the new skill calmly.
Its details appeared in front of him.

Alan read through it once.
"…Not bad."
It wasn't on the same level as his high-end skills, but it was fast and useful in close combat. The paralysis effect could create openings if used at the right time.
Alan closed the skill window and shifted his attention to the next reward.
A long, dark sword appeared in front of him.
It floated slightly above the ground, surrounded by faint black energy. Unlike the previous greatsword, this one easily a powerful one.

Alan read everything carefully.
"…A transformation weapon."
He swung the sword once.
The air distorted slightly from the pressure.
Then—
He activated the transformation.
The blade dissolved into black energy and reshaped itself instantly.
A large, dark bow formed in his hand.
"…Good."
He pulled the string slightly.
A dark arrow formed instantly, made purely of condensed energy.
He released it.
SHHH—!
The arrow shot forward and pierced deep into the cave wall, leaving a clean hole behind.
Alan looked at the weapon again.
"…This is useful."
A melee weapon and a ranged weapon in one.
He reverted it back to sword form.
The black energy condensed again into a blade.
He stored it in his inventory.
Alan stored the weapon and looked around the ruined chamber one more time.
Then he nodded slightly.
"…It was a great haul."
He paused for a moment.
"…Now it's time to create my next guardian."
His gaze shifted to the last materials he had obtained.
The core pieces.
The most important ones.
Among them—
The soul essence of Dantalion.
Alan took a slow breath and activated his skill.
"Guardian Creation."
A faint glow spread around him as the system responded.
He opened his inventory and took out a body.
Death Knight Madra.
The moment it appeared—
Madra's voice echoed again.
"…I see."
"You're planning to use the body of the strongest human genius… combined with the high-ranking demon with Authority of Knowledge."
Alan nodded.
"Yes."
He looked at the materials in front of him.
"I want to see what this becomes."
Madra didn't speak for a moment.
Then—
"…This might be the strongest Guardian you ever created."
Alan nodded.
He began placing the components one by one.
First—
Dantalion's soul essence.
Then—
A fragment of Hell Gao's essence.
And after that—
A portion of vampire soul essence.
Each one floated in the air, radiating different types of energy.
Dark.
Chaotic.
Dense.
The space around them began to distort slightly.
Alan didn't stop.
He focused completely and continued the process.
"Begin creation."
The skill activated fully.
BOOM—!
A surge of energy erupted around the Death Knight Madra's body.
All the materials were pulled in at once.
The body began to absorb them.
Dark energy wrapped around it.
Then—
It changed.
The armor cracked and reformed.
New patterns appeared across the surface.
The aura grew heavier.
