Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

Arthur struggled to climb out of the collapsed dungeon ruins.

His dirty little hands were scraped raw by the gravel, but he still managed to crawl to the ground.

Then he saw a scene that he would never forget for the rest of his life.

—The five-meter-tall Black Abyss Demon Lord fell heavily to the ground under the double-bladed attack of the ten-year-old boy!

"Wow...that's amazing..." Arthur exclaimed in astonishment.

Ye Ge held Ying Yue in his left hand and Guang Li in his right, standing before the already dead Black Abyss Demon Lord.

The Black Abyss Demon Lord's boss design originally had four stages.

In the second phase, when his health drops to 20%, he will trigger the third phase, transforming into a stronger monster and instantly recovering to full health!

But when Ye Ge had only 30%+ of his health remaining, he killed him in one move! He didn't give him a chance to transform at all, skipping the third and fourth stages.

Tsk tsk, I'm so despicable...

The Black Abyss Demon Lord lay motionless on the ground, his body gradually dissolving. Part of his dark flesh turned into ethereal black mist, while another part melted into black blood.

[Task progress update!]

[Mission: Defeat the final boss, the Black Abyss Demon Lord. Reward: 5 system points. You will receive a random pink-quality ancient item and a 1% chance to obtain a red-quality ancient legacy item!]

[Task progress: completed]

[Received: 5 system points]

[Randomly obtained: Ancient pink quality material - Black Abyss Cursed Bone]

Ye Ge nodded in satisfaction.

Although I didn't trigger the 1% red quality reward, it's still pretty good.

After all, it's only 1%. If it were really easy to win, he would start to suspect that he has some kind of strange aura.

Ye Ge put away the two weapons. At this moment, Xiao Yuxi gracefully descended from the sky, her white robes fluttering, and came to his side.

The girl couldn't help but ask, "How...how did you do that?"

"Does the fairy sister want to know?"

"Um......"

Ye Ge smiled faintly: "No, this is paid content, I can't just tell other people."

Xiao Yuxi was taken aback, a hint of confusion appearing in her clear, bright eyes: "...Huh?"

Paid content?

"Buzzing..."

At that moment, the earth suddenly began to tremble violently.

Xiao Yuxi initially thought it was an earthquake, but she quickly realized that it was not an ordinary earthquake.

Even the air currents and the demonic energy within the secret realm began to become extremely chaotic, and the entire Black Abyss Secret Realm seemed to be trembling!

Above the sky, the entrance to this place that Ye Ge and Xiao Yuxi entered—the Well of the Black Abyss—also showed signs of abnormality!

The vortex of black mist and clouds underwent a strange transformation, seemingly shrinking as if it were about to close!

Xiao Yuxi's eyes flickered: "What's going on?"

Night Song calmly said, "The Lord of the Black Abyss is dead, so the Black Abyss Secret Realm will also be closed."

This is part of the story, so Ye Ge is naturally familiar with it.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuxi quickly said, "Then let's leave right away!"

“It’s too late,” Ye Ge said. “Those who didn’t enter the Black Abyss Well and went to other areas of the secret realm should still have a chance to return to the academy via teleportation scrolls, but we are inside the Black Abyss Well. Once the passage to the Black Abyss Well is closed, our connection with the outside world will be completely cut off.”

Xiao Yuxi took out the scroll and tried it out. She found that, just as Ye Ge had said, the runes on the scroll flickered weakly twice and then dimmed, unable to light up again.

"What should I do?"

The girl pursed her lips. She didn't understand why Ye Ge could remain so calm at a time like this.

Ye Ge said, "Don't worry, it's just that the regular passage is closed. There are other ways out."

Xiao Yuxi breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

For some reason, the girl felt that Ye Ge seemed to have been here before, as if he was very familiar with all the rules and even the BOSS's weaknesses.

But he's only ten years old...

And he was just a student in a regular class.

Could it be that he really came here before?

"Boom!"

At this moment, the Black Abyss Demon Lord, who was supposed to be dead, suddenly came back to life!

Most of the Black Abyss Demon Lord's body had completely melted into black water, but the huge mouth on his belly suddenly shot up into the sky, curled up like a ball, and fled swiftly!

Xiao Yuxi turned around: "What's that??"

Ye Ge turned his head and glanced at it, then said indifferently, "The true form of the Black Abyss Demon Lord is that thing from just now."

"I didn't expect him to still be alive?" Xiao Yuxi paused, then looked at him and asked, "Shouldn't we go after him?"

Ye Ge smiled: "Of course we should chase after them, but there's no need to rush."

......

The Black Abyss Demon Lord curled up into a ball and rolled quickly into the half-collapsed dungeon, into a secret underground passage.

"Damn human brat!"

"I will definitely come back for revenge!"

The Black Abyss Demon Lord continued to roll forward. Now he had no limbs, only a round ball of flesh resembling a head. However, this head had no eyes, nose, or other organs, only a large mouth full of fangs.

Therefore, this is the only way he can move forward.

"Once I've swallowed the demon seed and regained my demonic body, I'm definitely coming back... Holy crap!"

As the Black Abyss Demon Lord rolled forward, he uttered his desperate words of escape in a shrill voice.

Suddenly he felt as if he had tripped hard on something.

The whole person... no, the whole ball of flesh, flew forward and crashed hard into the wall of the passage ahead.

Black Abyss's massive mouth slowly slid down the wall, causing him to groan in pain.

Then he noticed that the stone walls around the passage seemed to be covered with something.

A talisman gradually appeared on the wall, and the characters on it glowed with a faint blue light, seemingly containing some kind of extraordinary power.

Black Abyss's Big Mouth paused for a moment.

This passage was built by the foreign slaves he ordered to do.

But he doesn't remember having this kind of talisman here.

Black Abyss Big Mouth didn't know what the blue text on the wall meant.

But he soon realized that this thing was definitely not a good thing for him...

In the long, dark passage, more and more patterns of these blue talisman paper appeared on the walls!

Ten...twenty...hundreds...

Black Abyss's mouth gaped open, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

Om-!

The hundreds of talisman papers flashed simultaneously with a "hum!" They emitted over a hundred blue beams of light, which bound the Black Abyss's maw like ropes, making it completely immobile!
