The endless Divine me was now gradually converging toward the center. The Sr Divine Spear appeared amidst the mes, with its cracks vanishing, and golden runes flowing endlessly across its shaft.


    When all the Divine me finally dissipated, the Sr 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 Sr Divine Spear. The red dragon''s eyes widened in shock, while Jormungandr''s face was filled with delight.


    "Has the Sr Divine Spear been repaired?" Luca thought with surprise, not expecting the Sr Divine Spear to recover so quickly from its previous damage.


    After absorbing all the Divine me, and noticing the situation on this side, the Sr 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 Sr 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 Sr Divine Spear was also a bit excited, for after so many years, its power had finally recovered significantly.


    "Alright!" Luca grinned, the Sr Divine Rank appearing on his brow, his body covered by the swirling runes of thews. The Divine me enveloped him, and his aura surged at an astonishing speed!


    Sr Awakening!


    The Transcendent level aura descended suddenly! Fear appeared in the crimson dragon''s eyes as it pped 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 shed 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 me gathering around him, Luca didn''t hesitate for a moment. He swung the Sr Divine Spear in his hand, and the roaring Divine me transformed into a golden river, crashing down on the crimson dragon''s body.


    Boom!!


    The endless Divine me 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! Congrattions onpleting the SSS-level Awakening Trial "Death Volcano (Unique)"]


    [Congrattions onpleting the trial task and acquiring the new ss "Storm Envoy (Divine Level)"]


    [You have acquired new skills: "Wind and Thunder Surge (ss)", "Thundersh (ss)", "Hurricane''s Wrath (ss)", "Wind and Thunder Phenomenon (ss)", and more...]


    [Ding! Congrattions onpleting the ss Awakening!]


    [Your ss skills: "Magic Runes Drawing", "Alchemy", "Fate Maniption", "Undying Blood", "Wind and Thunder Surge", "Dreamweaving", "Fire God" and others have undergone a transformation!]


    ...


    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]


    [ss: 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, Sr God Pattern...]


    "Over a million health!" Luca couldn''t help butugh out loud as he looked at his panel. Afterpleting 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 ss Awakening, his ss abilities, including Magic Runes Drawing, were significantly enhanced, and his skill level had broken through the previous cap, rising to Lv20.


    He had umted 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 Superss Magic Runes, turning them intobat power that could multiply his strength by several times.


    Additionally, Luca had acquired a new ss: Storm Envoy.


    It was a Divine-level ss that wielded mastery over both wind and lightning elements.


    The ss 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.


    "Thundersh" 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 couldbine this new ss with the awakening of wind and lightning magic runes, simr to how Sr Awakening paired with zing Sunwalker, it would likely be enough to obliterate World-Destroying Level Transcendent monsters head-on.


    However, materials for Transcendent-level skills were not easy toe by. That would depend on luck. Once he dealt with the ck Raven Pirates and returned to Seaway City, he could have someone inquire about materials for Transcendent-level skills...


    Meanwhile, on Waterhorn Ind.


    The once tumultuous sea had transformed into a cier, with pitted battle scars scattered across the ice. Snowkes 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 ck Raven Pirates had not engaged in battle. Instead, they stood quietly, watching the two figures on the ice, or more urately, 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 seed!


    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 de at Sophia. He sneered, "But surely, you''ve reached your limit by now?"


    Sophia did not respond. Her long sword was nted 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 shed in Sophia''s eyes. Even though she had exerted all her effort and even used the power of thews to amplify her strength, she still hadn''t been able to defeat him. It was a pity…


    "A Superss 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 sh 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 thews 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 Nichs, "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.


    Nichs 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 Superss 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 nced 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 de 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 sh before his eyes, and a powerful force mmed 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.
