Started with a 10,000x Multiplier in a Game World

The system interface flashed a violent, blinding white, then instantly shifted to a deep, aggressive crimson.

[Physical Defense reduced to 0.]

[Magical Defense reduced to 0.]

[Maximum HP multiplied by 10.]

[Attack Power Doubled.]

[Absolute Invulnerability Applied. Duration: 5 Seconds.]

Dante’s massive 25,500 health pool skyrocketed to an absurd 255,000 HP. His raw attack power doubled, transforming him from a heavily armored tank into the ultimate, unmitigated glass cannon.

The golden invulnerability frames enveloped his avatar, offering him a fleeting window of absolute safety in the roaring inferno.

Envoy Catacombs didn’t look impressed by the stat manipulation.

The Level 80 Celestial Boss slammed the butt of his massive volcanic staff into the scorched earth.

"Show me the wrath of the Asura!" Catacombs roared, the white-hot fire in his eyes burning intensely.

The Envoy didn’t cast a slow, telegraphed spell. He moved with terrifying, fluid speed, completely defying his heavy, magma-woven robes.

He crossed the arena in a fraction of a second, bringing the volcanic core of his staff down in a brutal, sweeping the strike aimed directly at Dante’s ribs.

Dante didn’t try to block it. His defense was zero. Even a glancing blow from a Celestial Boss would chunk his massive health pool.

He triggered [Phantom Dash].

He vanished, teleporting directly through the physical strike, materializing exactly behind the Envoy.

BOOM.

The sonic boom of his materialization detonated point-blank against the boss’s back.

[Guaranteed Stun Applied. Duration: 1 Second.]

Catacombs locked up completely, the bright yellow stun icon flashing over his head.

Dante didn’t hesitate. His five seconds of invulnerability were ticking down. He gripped the [Dawn-Breaker Blade] with both hands and unleashed a rapid, devastating flurry of basic strikes.

Because of the [Asura Vanguard] class passive [Predator’s Eye], every single hit was a guaranteed critical strike. Because of the [Asura’s Descent] buff, his base attack power was doubled.

The gold broadsword blurred, carving deep, glowing gashes into the Envoy’s dark robes.

[-35,000! Critical Hit!]

[-38,000! Critical Hit!]

[-36,500! Critical Hit!]

The massive damage numbers popped up in rapid succession. Dante was ripping through the boss’s health pool, dealing over a hundred thousand damage in a single second.

But the stun expired.

Catacombs didn’t stagger or flinch. The Celestial Boss spun around with terrifying agility, the jagged staff moving in a blur.

"Too slow!" Catacombs shouted.

The Envoy didn’t aim for Dante. He slammed the staff directly into the ground beneath Dante’s feet.

[Boss Mechanic Triggered: Pillar of the Core]

The scorched earth violently erupted. A massive, concentrated pillar of solid, white-hot plasma shot upward, completely engulfing Dante.

The golden invulnerability frames sparked violently, completely neutralizing the catastrophic thermal damage.

Dante stepped out of the plasma pillar entirely unharmed.

2 Seconds Remaining.

"My turn," Dante said softly.

He didn’t use a basic strike. He activated [Aether-Blade Projection].

He didn’t fire a single crescent. With [Chrono-Shift] removing the cooldown, he rapidly slashed his sword five times.

Five massive, glowing golden crescents of compressed kinetic energy shot forward at point-blank range, slamming directly into Catacombs’s chest.

[-45,000! Critical Hit!]

[-45,000! Critical Hit!]

[-45,000! Critical Hit!]

[-45,000! Critical Hit!]

[-45,000! Critical Hit!]

The sheer, overwhelming kinetic force of the Zenith-tier projectiles physically knocked the Level 80 Celestial Boss off his feet.

Catacombs was launched backward, sliding across the arena dirt, his health bar dropping by nearly half of a million points.

[Catacombs HP: 3,165,000 / 3,500,000]

The five-second invulnerability window expired.

The golden aura faded from Dante’s avatar. He was sitting at 255,000 HP, but his defense was an absolute zero. If the Envoy hit him now, it would be devastating.

Catacombs scrambled to his feet, clearly shocked by the sheer volume of damage he had just absorbed.

"You rely heavily on brief windows of immortality," Catacombs analyzed, his white-hot eyes narrowing. "But you cannot maintain it forever."

The Envoy raised his staff high above his head.

"Let us see how you handle a sustained barrage," Catacombs declared.

[Boss Mechanic Triggered: Rain of Cinders]

The massive dome of white-hot fire enclosing the arena suddenly shifted. The flames didn’t disappear; they actively began to drip.

Thousands of massive, burning chunks of liquid magma rained down from the ceiling of the dome, completely covering the entire arena in a relentless, unavoidable shower of heavy thermal artillery.

Dante didn’t try to outrun it. The arena was too small, and the falling magma was too dense.

He needed to intercept the barrage.

He raised his left hand, activating his Zenith-tier defensive skill.

[Skill Executed: Aether-Blade Storm]

One hundred glowing silver broadswords instantly materialized in the air around him, forming a massive, swirling metallic halo.

The falling chunks of magma hit the kill-zone.

The phantom swords actively sought out the incoming projectiles, intercepting them mid-air.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The explosions were deafening. Every time a silver sword intercepted a chunk of magma, it detonated, dealing 1,000% True Damage to the projectile, completely atomizing the incoming threat before it could touch Dante.

Because of [Chrono-Shift], the cooldown was zero. The destroyed phantom swords instantly regenerated, maintaining the perfect, impenetrable swirling halo.

Dante stood in the center of the storm, completely untouched by the apocalyptic rain of fire.

"Is that all you’ve got?" Dante asked, staring through the swirling swords at the Envoy.

Catacombs didn’t look frustrated. The boss actually smiled.

"You lack fundamental vision, Outworlder," Catacombs said softly. "The rain was a distraction."

Dante’s Intuition stat screamed.

He looked down.

The chunks of magma that the phantom swords had intercepted hadn’t just vanished. The explosions had shattered the liquid fire into millions of tiny, glowing sparks that drifted down to the ground.

But the sparks weren’t harmless. They were actively burrowing into the dirt beneath Dante’s feet, drawing massive amounts of thermal energy from the dome itself.

The ground beneath the [Aether-Blade Storm] turned a blinding, aggressive white.

"Uh oh," Dante muttered.

[Boss Ultimate Triggered: Supernova]

It wasn’t a standard, avoidable explosion. It was a complete, arena-wide structural collapse of thermal energy.

Catacombs had used the rain of cinders to prime the entire floor of the arena into a single, massive bomb.

Dante couldn’t use [Meteor Stride] to escape. The area was sealed.

He couldn’t use [Phantom Waltz]. He needed a target within range to trigger the invulnerability frames, and Catacombs had intentionally teleported to the absolute far edge of the arena, safely outside the 100-foot targeting radius of the assassination skill.

He couldn’t use [Aegis Deflection]. You couldn’t parry an explosion erupting directly beneath your own boots.

He was standing on a nuclear warhead, and his defense was zero.

The countdown timer for the explosion flashed in his vision.

3... 2... 1...

"Burn in the light of the first fire!" Catacombs roared.

The floor detonated.

The sheer volume of the explosion completely muted the Zenith Protocol’s audio engine.

A massive, towering pillar of pure, unfiltered, white-hot plasma erupted from the ground, completely engulfing Dante’s avatar.

The damage output of the [Supernova] was designed to instantly wipe an entire raid group. It bypassed all standard fire resistance and dealt raw, unmitigated elemental damage.

Against a player with zero defense, it was mathematically a guaranteed execution.

Dante’s massive 255,000 health bar vanished instantly.

[-1,500,000! OVERKILL! FATAL DAMAGE!]

The red text flashed briefly in the blinding white light of the explosion.

Catacombs lowered his staff, panting heavily. The Celestial Boss watched the pillar of plasma slowly fade, fully expecting to see the gray, static ash of a permanently deleted avatar.

The smoke cleared.

Dante was still standing in the center of the crater.

He wasn’t dead. His armor wasn’t scorched.

His health bar was sitting perfectly at full capacity.

[Passive Activated: Fire Roc’s Nirvana]

[User resurrected at 100% Maximum HP and Mana.]

The ultimate reward from the Fire Roc’s Last Wish dungeon had triggered automatically.

The one-time, auto-resurrection passive completely negated the True Death, instantly restoring his avatar to pristine condition in the exact frame he died.

Catacombs stared at him in absolute, unfiltered disbelief.

"You... you survived a Supernova," Catacombs whispered, his white-hot eyes wide with shock. "You resurrected."

"I told you," Dante said, his voice entirely flat and devoid of any emotion. "I don’t die easily."

Dante didn’t drop his stance. He didn’t check his interface.

The [Asura’s Descent] buff had expired when he died, resetting his health pool to his standard 25,500 HP and restoring his massive defense stats. But [Fire Roc’s Nirvana] was a one-time use per lifetime. His safety net was gone.

If he got hit with another ultimate, he was permanently dead.

He needed to end the fight right now. He needed overwhelming, absolute destruction.

Dante sheathed the [Dawn-Breaker Blade]. The Gold-tier weapon wasn’t strong enough to burst down a three-million HP boss in a single window.

He held out his right hand. The black brand on his wrist flared violently.

[Voidsever] materialized, the primordial greatsword letting out a low, predatory hum as it tasted the raw, aggressive energy of the arena.

"Aura," Dante called out softly.

The tiny silver fox, hovering faithfully by his shoulder, chimed instantly.

[Skill Activated: Holy Moment]

[Effect: Grants a temporary, flat 50% boost to Base Attack Power.]

Dante didn’t stop there. He needed more. He needed the math to completely break.

He triggered the innate passive he had acquired from Erebus.

[Skill Activated: Blood Sacrifice]

Dante voluntarily burned 90% of his newly restored health pool. The agonizing drain ripped through his avatar, dropping him to a terrifyingly fragile 2,550 HP.

The trade-off was instantaneous.

[Attack Power increased by 900%.]

He chained the final buff.

[Skill Executed: Asura’s Heart]

His attack speed and movement speed doubled. The crucial passive locked in: Critical Hit Damage was instantly increased to 300%.

His raw attack power crossed the threshold of absurdity, pushing past 36,000 raw damage.

He was holding the destructive capacity of an orbital strike.

"Let’s see if your fire can burn this," Dante whispered.

He gripped the dark bone hilt of Voidsever with both hands and stepped forward.
