The endless Divine Flame was now gradually converging toward the center. The Solar Divine Spear appeared amidst the flames, with its cracks vanishing, and golden runes flowing endlessly across its shaft.
When all the Divine Flame finally dissipated, the Solar Divine Spear suddenly released a blinding golden light, emanating an overwhelming divine aura!
At the same time, Jormungandr and the fire dragon, who had been entangled in battle, sensed the unusual aura. They both turned to look toward the location of the Solar Divine Spear. The red dragon’s eyes widened in shock, while Jormungandr’s face was filled with delight.
“Has the Solar Divine Spear been repaired?” Luca thought with surprise, not expecting the Solar Divine Spear to recover so quickly from its previous damage.
After absorbing all the Divine Flame, and noticing the situation on this side, the Solar Divine Spear transformed into a streak of golden light, swiftly flying toward Luca.
It was incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, it was right in front of him.
Luca raised his hand to catch it, and instantly felt a scorching force surge into his body. Even the Solar Divine Rank on his forehead resonated, appearing in full force.
“Although it’s not fully repaired, it has already reached Cataclysmic Level,” Luca thought, making his judgment. If the World-Destroying Level was the Transcendent early stage, then the Natural Disaster Level was the mid-stage, with the Cataclysmic Level being the peak of Transcendent.
Professionals who reached this level were rare, both in the past and present. Even Luca in his previous life had only reached the Natural Disaster Level.
“Kid, try out its power on that little fire dragon,” a voice echoed in Luca’s ears. It was clear that the Solar Divine Spear was also a bit excited, for after so many years, its power had finally recovered significantly.
“Alright!” Luca grinned, the Solar Divine Rank appearing on his brow, his body covered by the swirling runes of the laws. The Divine Flame enveloped him, and his aura surged at an astonishing speed!
Solar Awakening!
The Transcendent level aura descended suddenly! Fear appeared in the crimson dragon’s eyes as it flapped its massive wings, creating a hurricane. Without a second thought, it turned and began flying toward the dark clouds in the sky.
But Luca would never allow it to escape so easily.
Golden light flashed in his eyes, and space shattered with a violent boom. In an instant, his figure disappeared from its original position. It was as though he had torn through the void, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared right in front of the fire dragon!
With Divine Flame gathering around him, Luca didn’t hesitate for a moment. He swung the Solar Divine Spear in his hand, and the roaring Divine Flame transformed into a golden river, crashing down on the crimson dragon’s body.
Boom!!
The endless Divine Flame swept in all directions! The massive body of the fire dragon was almost instantly engulfed, and the entire Underground Volcano Mountain Range trembled violently under Luca’s blow!
At the same time, a system notification appeared before Luca.
[Ding! Congratulations on completing the SSS-level Awakening Trial “Death Volcano (Unique)”]

…
A series of game notifications appeared before Luca.
He felt that at this moment, some kind of restraint within his body was shattered, and a torrent of immense energy surged through his veins like a flood released from a dam, nourishing his flesh and blood.
Luca could feel his body undergoing a metamorphosis, and his strength was growing at an unbelievable speed. The sensation was so blissful that he almost wanted to throw his head back and howl at the sky.
He wasn’t sure how much time had passed, but soon his blood and energy settled.
Luca suppressed his excitement and opened the character panel to check his stats.
[Name: Luca]
[Level: Lv50]
[Talent: Heaven’s Blessing Divine Body] freēwēbηovel.c૦m
[Class: Demonic Rune Mage]
[Health: 1,130,000]
[Mana: 2,150,000]
[Attack: 680,000 – 720,000]
[Attributes: Strength: 51,000, Spirit: 89,000, Stamina: 45,000, Agility: 24,000]
[Special: Charm: 500, Perception: 500, Aptitude: 500, Luck: 500]
[Magic Runes: Frostborn, Heavenly Star Crystal Tree, Undead Coffin, Solar God Pattern…]
“Over a million health!” Luca couldn’t help but laugh out loud as he looked at his panel. After completing the Awakening Trial, all his attributes had increased substantially, with his health so high it could almost be treated as a barcode.
However, the most significant improvement came in his skills. After the Class Awakening, his class abilities, including Magic Runes Drawing, were significantly enhanced, and his skill level had broken through the previous cap, rising to Lv20.
He had accumulated a considerable amount of Free Proficiency Points, and he could now use them all to upgrade Magic Runes Drawing, directly maxing out the skill’s level.
With this, he could mass-produce Superclass Magic Runes, turning them into combat power that could multiply his strength by several times.
Additionally, Luca had acquired a new class: Storm Envoy.
It was a Divine-level class that wielded mastery over both wind and lightning elements.
The class skills “Wind and Thunder Phenomenon” and “Wind and Thunder Surge” boosted Luca’s wind and lightning damage by five times, and his affinity with these two elements was increased by ten times, granting him near immunity to attacks of these attributes.
“Thunderflash” allowed him to instantly burst out with extreme speed, while “Hurricane’s Wrath” was a passive skill that specialized in Luca’s wind-based attacks, enabling him to inflict random negative statuses on his targets.
If he could combine this new class with the awakening of wind and lightning magic runes, similar to how Solar Awakening paired with Blazing Sunwalker, it would likely be enough to obliterate World-Destroying Level Transcendent monsters head-on.
However, materials for Transcendent-level skills were not easy to come by. That would depend on luck. Once he dealt with the Black Raven Pirates and returned to Seaway City, he could have someone inquire about materials for Transcendent-level skills…
Meanwhile, on Waterhorn Island.
The once tumultuous sea had transformed into a glacier, with pitted battle scars scattered across the ice. Snowflakes drifted from the sky, and ice spikes pierced the surface, creating an entire forest of frozen ice.
The soldiers of Riverfall City and the members of the Black Raven Pirates had not engaged in battle. Instead, they stood quietly, watching the two figures on the ice, or more accurately, watching the woman, their expressions a mix of emotions.
“She’s quite the handful,” Evans muttered, exhaling a cloud of white mist. His bare body was covered with numerous wounds, yet no blood flowed—everything was frozen solid.
He stared at the pale-faced young woman not far away, wanting to mock her, but found himself unable to muster a smile.
In all his years drifting across the Western Sea, Evans had seen countless geniuses, but never had he encountered a woman like this.
The pirates and navy soldiers, who had originally underestimated Sophia, were now silent. Many of them looked at the slender figure standing on the ice with a sense of admiration.
No one had expected that she would actually succeed!
She had single-handedly stopped Evans!
And even now, she hadn’t been defeated!
“Such a shame…” Tark, on the ship, muttered, his gaze filled with mixed emotions. “The gap is just too great.”
“A mere high-level mage, and yet you’ve forced me to use everything I’ve got. Even if you die, you can hold your head high,” he said, pointing his bloodstained jagged blade at Sophia. He sneered, “But surely, you’ve reached your limit by now?”
Sophia did not respond. Her long sword was planted on the ice, and her chest heaved with each breath. Her lips had turned pale.
A trickle of blood slowly seeped out, a stark contrast against the ice.
Sky-level, in the end, was just too much of a stretch…
A shadow of bleakness flashed in Sophia’s eyes. Even though she had exerted all her effort and even used the power of the laws to amplify her strength, she still hadn’t been able to defeat him. It was a pity…
“A Superclass has reduced you to this sorry state. How embarrassing,” a harsh voice sneered from beside her. Zenobia took the opportunity to gloat, adding fuel to the fire. Experience tales at empire
Then, she tempted, “How about it? Give me your body. Not only can I help you kill him, but I can even help you kill everyone here.”
Sophia wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and coldly replied, “Shut up.”
Evans frowned, a flash of murderous intent crossing his eyes. “You really are an arrogant woman. Even at a time like this, you still dare to talk back?”
He smiled darkly. “I’ll see if you’ll still be so arrogant after you’re dead.”
Watching Evans walk toward her, Sophia took a deep breath. A faint glow appeared on her forehead, and if one looked closely, they could see what appeared to be an icy crystal in her eyes.
Around it, intricate runes of the laws swirled, radiating an otherworldly aura.
It was the Frost Divine Rank!
She hadn’t intended to use the power of the divine rank, but it seemed that there was no choice but to unleash it now.
On a ship from Seaway City, Tark furrowed his brows and said to Nicholas, “Come with me to save her.”
Sophia was the mentor of the city lord, and even if all of them died here, she couldn’t fall. If she did, who knew what would happen when Luca returned.
Nicholas and Dacey both understood the gravity of the situation and nodded in agreement.
The three of them immediately became streaks of light, speeding toward Sophia and Evans.
But before they could reach them, two figures blocked their path.
“Think you can save her? Have you asked us?” Bloodhand Jack mocked with a sneer, his towering form releasing an Earth-level Superclass aura.
Beside him, One-Eyed Dragon Carmichael had a calm expression, but his aura was also Earth-level.
Tark and the others’ faces darkened. How could they have forgotten about these two?!
“Don’t rush,” Evans said, his gaze turning cold as he glanced at the three of them. “None of you are going anywhere.”
With that, he disappeared in an instant, reappearing in front of Sophia.
“You’re first,” he said coldly, raising his bloodstained jagged blade without hesitation. He swung it toward her head.
Faced with this terrifying strike, Sophia’s gaze turned icy. A faint, ice-blue mark appeared on her forehead, and her aura shifted slightly.
Just then, a hand suddenly wrapped around her waist.
The movement interrupted her actions.
At the same time, Evans felt a flash before his eyes, and a powerful force slammed into his abdomen!
In the next instant, his body was sent flying backward like a rocket!
“Looks like I’ve arrived just in time.” The young man gently lowered Sophia from the air, his handsome face sporting a smile, but his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
