Boom! Boom! Boom! Bo...

A series of multi-colored fire explosions went out at the very same time, it looked as if the 10 'Sacred room' were literality breathing fire…

"What happened just now?!"

"The fire came out from the 'Sacred rooms', we need to get someone who is authorized to check what happened."

"I bet that weird lightning abomination is the perpetrator, why isn't anyone catching him already?!"

The panic spread through the demons as they started running everywhere, leaving only a little amount of them who wanted to attack me somehow, with some trying to check the situation of the 'Sacred rooms', but unfortunately for them that was just the beginning…

In fact, it could even be described as a calm before the true storm!

BANG!

Out of nowhere, a loud sound that could pierce one's eardrum accompanied by blinding multi-colored light roared!

All I could see was the fire that spread everywhere, and the occasional appearance of huge debris rocks which would be incinerated within the fragments of a second, as the fiery 'Cheering' finally made its way to my location.

The very first 'Elemental Severing' barrier broke as soon as it came into contact with the raging burning elements, and the second soon followed, as the speed only started to slow down at the third barrier, meanwhile…

[ You have... ]

Countless blood essence was being absorbed to me as the system has judged that I was the cause of their death…

Of course, I only managed to receive less than a tenth of the demon's blood essence as it was mostly incinerated, I was also still wondering how that tenth even managed to survive…

But even then, considering the massive number of demons that were situated at this gate, that amount of EP was still very satisfying!

[ You have reached level 74! ]

By now, the 7th barrier was already close to collapsing as the essence absorption notifs started to become less and less, eventually only the sound of the raging fire could be heard…

'Well, that was an unexpected gift, but why isn't the corruption core destroyed yet?'

The reason I chose this location was to be very close to the core so that the second the 'Cheering' reached the core, I would be able to charge the green crystal from the corruption dispersion that is supposed to follow and leave this gate as a whole, but as this rate, I might have to battle the 'Cheering' using my own flesh…

Tskkkkk…

"GRAAAHHH!"

Suddenly, as the 8th barrier was already at the verge of breaking, I could hear a very loud cry seemingly a bit familiar  which had a very unexpected effect! The growing fire made of burning elements was retreating and being consumed at an insane rate!

I could only see the pitch black ashes as the 'Cheering' was finally put out as if to announce that the 'Firework celebration' was finally done…

Then a very thick stream of pitch black blood was moving towards me, waiting to be absorbed, it was the darkest color of blood essence that I have witnessed so far...

Not only was the 'Cheering' completely put out, but I also received the blood essence of a strange entity called a 'Corruption Administrator'...

At this point, I could pretty much tell that this was still not over, even though the destructive ability of the 'Cheering' was several times above my expectations, I wasn't the only survivor that came alive after witnessing the 'Firework celebration' that I planned...

"Ha ha ha ha HA HAHAHAHA…"

I could already recognize the owner of this crazy laugh…

In a crater which was barely ten meters away from me, I could see the overseer whose skin was already closer to red than violet, with his clothes half-burnt, standing in front of a pitch black orb that was standing in a stand made completely from elemental crystals…

The strangest fact about that crater was it being completely unharmed, no ashes, no molten rocks, nothing…

"I already realized something was wrong with you at the very second I put my eye on you, yet I had plans for you so I let you play like you wanted…"

"To be more honest, I already thought you would lose yourself to our enlightenment and truly become one of us, and considering your abilities, you would have become a good addition to our base."

"Yet, not only have you been plotting such a hideous plot to stop our advent, but you also almost destroyed our enlightening core!"

"Underestimating you has cost me a lot, losing the whole scout army of this base, and most importantly, making me lose Sand!"

"For the enlightening processor to give up his life and maximize the power of the Enlightening core to stop this play of yours and allow my survival, this meant that this base has already become a lost cause, but don't you worry…"

"Don't you worry at all! I still have a very important use for you… you shall become my gate to access the Light domain!"

"I see, so my expectations were true, my disguise wasn't good enough to convince the great 'Sir' overseer, hehe…"

"Please tell me how it feels to lose almost everything just for being too cunning, it must feel great, right?"

"Didn't your teacher teach you that overthinking a matter may be the cause of your downfall?"
