Endless Extraction in a Game-Like World

Valerica stared at the massive dragon in stunned silence.

The aura radiating from Caelus was so overwhelming that she could barely believe this was the same person she had met before.

This was the guy who had only recently joined the Space League with a combat score below 5.

"Impossible..." she whispered. "Utterly impossible."

Lucian couldn’t find the words to describe what he was seeing.

CrystalWarden simply stood there with his mouth hanging open.

At that moment, they all realized something unbelievable.

This player from a Tier 1 world had become a monster beyond their comprehension.

The Chaos Dragon roared, and the entire estate trembled under the overwhelming pressure of his aura.

Lord Alaric gritted his teeth and raised his blade as he stared at the massive creature before him.

"A transformation won’t save you!"

[Skill Activated: Shadow Emperor’s Domain!]

A massive wave of darkness surged toward Caelus with enough force to swallow everything in its path.

Caelus opened his massive maw and immediately released a torrent of Chaos fire.

The two attacks collided.

BOOM!

A violent explosion erupted throughout the estate, sending powerful shockwaves in every direction and shattering every remaining window.

The courtyard was engulfed by smoke and debris.

Just then, Lord Alaric charged through the smoke with his black blade aimed directly at Caelus’s chest.

[Skill Activated: Shadow Blade!]

The blade slammed into Caelus’s scales, and countless sparks flew everywhere.

However, the scales held firm.

Caelus’s massive claw immediately swung toward Lord Alaric.

The noble barely managed to dodge in time.

Even the wind generated by the attack was powerful enough to send him tumbling across the courtyard.

"Impossible!" Lord Alaric shouted. "My blade can cut through anything!"

Caelus didn’t respond with words.

He simply attacked again.

Their exchange continued at a brutal pace.

Lord Alaric slashed and stabbed with incredible speed and precision, constantly targeting Caelus’s vital areas.

Meanwhile, Caelus blocked and countered with overwhelming force, each of his attacks carrying enough power to destroy the surrounding structures.

At first, the battle appeared evenly matched.

However, as the battle continued, something strange gradually began to happen.

Caelus started understanding Lord Alaric’s patterns.

[Passive: Adaptation of the End Activated]

Every technique the noble used became less effective with each repetition.

The first Shadow Emperor’s Pierce had been dangerous.

The second had been manageable.

But by the third time, Caelus could block it easily.

His movements became more refined with every exchange, while his counters grew sharper and more precise.

At the same time, his timing improved with every passing second.

Then, the Star King’s inheritance surged within him.

Golden energy mixed with his Cells and strengthened his body even further.

[Combat Score Fluctuating: 7,393 → 7,456 → 7,521...]

The numbers steadily climbed as the battle continued.

The chat watching the live broadcast went completely insane.

[WatchingInAwe6967: He’s getting stronger with every second!]

[ConfusedViewer: Why is he getting stronger?!]

[67_67: He was struggling earlier!]

[BallsLover’s_UNC: His aura is increasing!]

[Disbelief99: This isn’t possible!]

[StreamWatcher69: What kind of monster is this guy?!]

Lord Alaric felt the shift before he could fully understand what was happening.

The attacks that had previously landed cleanly were now being deflected.

His movements, which had been unpredictable only moments ago, were now being read.

His advantages were gradually disappearing one after another.

"What is happening?!" he screamed in frustration.

[Skill Activated: Shadow Emperor’s Execution!]

Lord Alaric poured everything he had into one final, devastating attack again.

The blade of darkness in his hands rapidly expanded until it became enormous.

Then, he swung it toward Caelus with all his strength.

Caelus caught the blade with one claw.

Hearing the sound of his ultimate attack being stopped so effortlessly, Lord Alaric’s eyes widened in horror.

"That’s... that’s impossible..."

[Combat Score: 7,634]

During the battle, Caelus had surpassed him.

Immediately after, the dragon’s other claw swung forward and slammed directly into Lord Alaric’s chest.

BOOM!

The noble was sent flying across the courtyard.

He crashed through three walls before finally coming to a stop.

Lord Alaric struggled to his feet, coughing blood as he tried to regain his balance.

However, Caelus was already standing in front of him.

The massive dragon attacked again.

His claw slammed into Lord Alaric and sent him flying through the air.

The noble tried to raise his blade to defend himself.

But Caelus shattered it with a single swipe.

Then, another attack followed.

And another.

And another.

Each blow sent Lord Alaric tumbling across the battlefield, while every impact cracked his bones and ruptured his organs.

The noble who had been so confident only moments ago was now being beaten like a ragdoll.

At the edge of the estate, Gorn watched the one-sided destruction with his mouth hanging open.

"He’s... he’s completely overwhelming him now."

Valerica couldn’t believe what she was seeing.

"That noble had a combat score of over 7,000. How is this happening?"

Lucian slowly shook his head as he watched Caelus continue his assault.

"He adapted during the fight."

His expression became increasingly serious.

"He literally grew stronger while battling."

CrystalWarden gulped nervously after hearing this.

"Remind me to never make him angry."

As he said that, Gorn and Lucian looked at Valerica.

That kid had completely overpowered them in terms of Combat Score.

It wasn’t far-fetched to say that even if they fought together they will never win.

In fact, the disparity was so insane Gorn was sure that if he unleashed his aura alone, they will die.

Lord Alaric lay in a massive crater created by his own impact.

His armor had been shattered beyond recognition, while blood pooled beneath his broken body.

Then, Caelus reverted to his human form and slowly walked toward him.

He stopped beside the injured noble and looked down at him.

"Any last words?"

Lord Alaric coughed violently before suddenly laughing weakly.

Despite being completely defeated, there was no fear in his eyes.

"You’re not bad, kid."

Caelus silently watched him.

The noble continued speaking with a calm smile.

"I’ll see you around."

He coughed up more blood but continued speaking.

"And next time, you won’t be dealing with an Ace-Rank combat score."

His smile widened despite the pain.

"I’ll make sure to find you in the Tier 2 world."
