Dungeon King: A Lady Knight Offered by My Goblins

Boom!

The tip of the Dragon Slayer Spear seemed to transform into a bolt of lightning, slicing towards Scott’s crimson one eye. 

The Elemental Lord’s single eye burst on the spot, blood trickling down, the agonizing feeling caused Scott to emit a series of frantic howls.

Ethan charged at Scott again, the Dragon Slayer Spear in his hand relentlessly attacking. 

His figure was like a ghost, unpredictable, and extremely fast.

In an instant, he launched seventeen or eighteen attacks, each one packed with immense power.

Scott could only be forced to defend, with obsidian tentacles extending to completely wrap his body.

The Dragon Slayer Spear in Ethan’s hand transformed into countless afterimages, shattering the tentacles one by one. 

His speed was increasing, and his moves were getting more and more fierce.

Scott was gradually unable to hold on!

“Damn it!” he roared, the magma and water within his body began to converge wildly. 

Terrifying steam billowed out from his body, his figure instantly expanded several times, and the hot steam instantly filled the entire space.

A wave of blistering heat swept over.

The body of the Mutant Elemental Lord exploded thunderously, transforming into a sky full of red and blue flames that rushed towards Ethan. 

Each flame carried a terrifying aura of destruction.

ƥandasnovel·ƈom “Useless trash!” Ethan sneered coldly, lunged with his spear, radiating dazzling Holy Light all over. 

He transformed into a ball of golden light!

His speed increased even more, leaving one afterimage after another in the void.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

A series of muffled sounds echoed as countless spear shadows from Ethan’s Dragon Slayer Spear struck the flowers of flame in the sky, causing them to collapse and disappear instantly.

“This is impossible, this is impossible…” The remaining flowers of fire reformed into Scott’s body. Sensing the crisis, he let out a roar.

Ethan’s power was too strong and unpredictable, leaving Scott without any advantage.

“Die.” Ethan’s figure charged forward again, moving so fast it was almost impossible to catch.

A terrifying spear light instantly slashed through the void, piercing through the Mutant Elemental Lord’s body, leaving a massive transparent hole. 

The elements within his body leaked out from this hole, crystallizing into pieces as they fell.

“You!!” Scott let out a mournful howl.

A surging power suddenly welled up within him, the elemental energy from his core. 

This force was so intense, causing his body to violently expand and tremble.

“Trying to self-destruct?”

“Too late!”

Ethan aimed at the center of Scott’s elemental energy convergence, and thrust his spear!

Boom!

The ground shook, the Mutant Elemental Lord’s body began to crack inch by inch, shattering thunderously.

“It’s over.” Ethan held the Dragon Slayer Spear, and with a sweeping strike!

The massive body of the Mutant Elemental Lord was smashed deep into the ground, and dust filled the air…

“How is this possible?”

The surrounding Heroes who were watching the battle were all dumbfounded. 

Ethan had truly defeated a Rank S Mutant Elemental Lord, a terrifying entity at the pinnacle of power in this world. 

Across the entire continent, there were only a handful of monsters possessing such power…

“Someone slap me, I suspect I’m dreaming.”

Smack!

A loud slap sounded, followed by a wail from the Hero who asked for it, “You actually slapped me?”

“Bro, wake up, we’re witnessing a god…”

“Damn, this is too fierce. I declare, from today on, I’m Ethan’s number one follower.”

The crowd of Heroes discussed amongst themselves, their eyes filled with respect and awe as they looked at Ethan.

Ethan sheathed his Dragon Slayer Spear, the golden light around his body gradually faded, and he returned to his human form.

[Ding! Congratulations, host. You have successfully defeated a Rank S Mutant Elemental Lord, and you’ve obtained a Rank S treasure box!]

Ignoring the system prompt in his ear, Ethan bent over and collected the elemental crystals left behind after the death of the Mutant Elemental Lord. 

The remnants left behind by a Rank S Elemental Lord could be considered the most perfect spell casting materials.

Turning over the debris left by Scott’s death, Ethan bent down and picked up a tattered black book. 

On the cover were four writhing characters that seemed to draw one’s soul completely in.

“The Book of… Devil?”

Ethan deciphered the text on the cover, but he didn’t feel like reading The Book of Devil at the moment. 

He called to the group of Heroes behind him and they began to collect the remains left by the Elemental Lord’s death.

The obsidian that had fallen during the battle, the elemental crystals from within his body, etc. were all a massive treasure…

Henry was the most excited among them.  I think you should take a look at pandasnovel.com

Not only did he survive a catastrophe, but he also struck it rich. 

Participating in the slaying of a Rank S Elemental Lord, even though he didn’t contribute much, was enough for him to brag about.

The group of Heroes started digging furiously, treating their weapons like pickaxes.

“Holy hell, what… what is this?”

“Damn it, a Mana Crystal?”

Suddenly, a few Heroes screamed in surprise, and the crowd quickly gathered.

In order to clean up the remains of the Mutant Elemental Lord, they were prepared to dig three feet down. 

One Hero dug several meters into the ground and found something.

Beneath the soil layer, dazzling crystals emerged, filled with a rich mana aura.

“Magic Crystal?”

Ethan picked up a crystal and looked at it, also somewhat taken aback… 

He was very familiar with Magic Crystals. 

These could be considered among the most precious magical ores in this world.

The main city of the Sunset Empire, used to resist monster invasions, had a barrier core powered by Magic Crystals.

Each Magic Crystal symbolized a massive wealth.

“We’re rich, we’re rich!”𝓝𝓞𝐯𝔢𝗅𝓝𝑬xt.𝑐𝑂𝑀

“Damn it, this Magic Crystal is mine, don’t fight me for it!”

“Whoever gets it first, it’s theirs!”

The group of Heroes began to scramble. 

Even Jonathan and Henry, who were Rank A big shots, didn’t care about saving face at this point and joined in on the digging. 

After a while, everyone suddenly froze.

Beneath the large pit, they initially unearthed only a few scattered Magic Crystals. 

However, as they dug deeper, the Magic Crystals they discovered became larger and larger, causing everyone’s hands to tremble uncontrollably.

“Holy hell…” a dwarf with a trembling voice fell to the ground. 

He had just used a mineral detection spell underground, resulting in a shocking discovery.

“It’s a vein! An entire Mana Crystal Vein is right underneath!”

A single Magic Crystal was enough to make people fight to the death, so the value of a Mana Crystal Vein was self-explanatory. 

The suddenly rich Heroes instantly calmed down. 

After the excitement, their faces turned ashen in unison.

Such enormous wealth would undoubtedly not be ignored, even by a behemoth like the Sunset Empire…

With the strength of their group of Heroes, they simply couldn’t hold onto it.

Jonathan was the first to look towards Ethan and said in a serious tone, “An innocent man is guilty if he carries a jade. Right now, holding these Magic Crystals is like a kid parading around with a chunk of gold; only a fool wouldn’t take a bite.”

“Once the news of this Mana Crystal Vein gets out, all the neighboring countries will not remain indifferent…”

“Ethan… among all of us present, perhaps only you have the strength to get a piece of the action. 

But as a lone wolf, you lack negotiating chips. 

I’m willing to persuade our guild behind us, to elect you as the leader. 

We don’t dare to dream of monopolizing this vein, but we need to get a solid bite at least.”

“What do you think, Brother Ethan?”

“We’re also willing to elect you, Ethan, as our boss. I have the final say in our guild!” Henry was the first to declare his position. 

The other Heroes present also began expressing their stances one after another.

Ethan didn’t rush to respond. 

Instead, he closed his eyes and began using his powerful perception to explore the extent of the vein beneath his feet. 

Even with his mental preparation, he was still thoroughly shocked… 

This Mana Crystal Vein was vast enough for at least ten years of mining. 

A gold mine with ten years of reserves can be considered rich, but this was a Mana Crystal vein, which was hundreds of times more valuable than gold! 

The total amount of mana it contained was enough to power a barrier that enveloped the entire Sunset Empire for a thousand years. 

If he could fully exploit this Mana Crystal Vein, Ethan could summon at least a hundred real dragons, not Bipedal Wyverns.

Ethan’s eyes flickered. 

Even if he rallied all the forces under his command now, he wouldn’t be able to hold onto this vein. 

Even gathering all the Dark Lords’ forces, it would be hard to monopolize… 

Once a vein like this was discovered, all the surrounding countries would definitely get involved. 

Although Heroes and Dark Lords are like cheaters compared to the original inhabitants of this world, they are still at a disadvantage facing the vast population of these inhabitants. 

He needed not only the Dark Lords, but also the Heroes’ forces.

Ethan looked at the crowd and said slowly, “The power of just your few guilds isn’t enough. We need more Heroes to join us… This could be a battlefield between us and the original inhabitants of this world.”
