Game's Extra: Starting With SSS-Ranked 1000-Death Talent-Chapter 40: Loot Is Forever

The blade pierced his flesh and heart, causing heavy bleeding and impending death along the way.

"It stings," Noa said, laughing.

He prepared for the blessing to trigger.

But before his eyes picked up any change within the altar, the darkness swallowed his vision.

[ You died ]

A familiar system notification rang in his head.

Once again, instead of wasting time embracing the infinite nothingness, his wish to revive came on top, bringing his consciousness back to his corpse.

[ Echo: 785/1,000 ]

No matter how often he did it, it still hurt like hell.

Still, Noa found his way into his body and immediately snapped open his eyes.

He checked the altar, feeling death affinity washing over him.

The clicking and shuddering sounds that Arthur made didn't stop, and one look was enough to conclude that the boy was struggling.

'I think he believed me,' Noa thought.

As for the scene before him, the process was quicker than he expected.

The unseen mana that belonged to the demon king stopped flowing towards him.

It was completely blocked by Noa's borrowed power, defeating the measly demon's mana in an instant.

With his potent energy, beating the monster became possible.

Somewhere along the way, just as Noa left the altar, the previously unkillable abomination also noticed the change.

Not only did it roar in anger, but its unsightly face seemed frightened.

Yet Arthur struggled to gain the upper hand, especially when the monster went berserk.

The boy could only dodge.

He couldn't see or abuse any opening.

Fortunately for him, Noa came into the picture, holding his club as if he would pounce on the beast at any moment.

"Took you long enough," Arthur said, his voice barely audible.

"Geez, you still here?" Noa spoke nonchalantly, not even glancing at him. "I am surprised you haven't rage-quit yet."

Arthur didn't answer, waiting for his help.

Seeing the situation, Noa dashed, planning to end the fight.

His death affinity wouldn't last for long, and if he was late for even a second, it would be game over.

The heavy rod danced from his fingers to his hands.

When Arthur barely stepped away from the monster, Noa straightened his back and hands, swinging his weapon.

He was ignored until this moment.

Just as the club descended to its knees, the abomination finally noticed Noa's presence.

"Too late!"

The air was cut, and pressure from his hands created strong winds.

Strong enough for his hair to flutter when the club hit the demon king.

Noa's high-strength stat allowed him to deal significant damage, making the monster moan in pain.

He didn't end his attack with one blow.

Striking the monster from different angles, he moved with precision.

Arthur also saw the opportunity when the monster took its first damage—his legs moving on their own.

Noa was closest to the demon king.

The smell made his head dizzy, the wetness and the heaviness of the splashed blood stuck to his clothes.

Countless punches and claws came in his direction.

With freshly increased agility, Noa closed in and sidestepped them for the new attacks he had in mind.

However, he still got grazed a couple of times.

His one side ached from the blunt attack, and his other side throbbed from the shallow wound.

But he was still in perfect condition, proceeding with the final countdown.

Violently swinging his rod at the demon king, he hit it with all his might.

His relentless actions only stopped when his weapon crumbled in his hand, leaving him nothing but his knuckles.

Noa injured his hands instantly, mixing his and the monster's blood on his fingers.

"Catch it."

A voice called out of nowhere.

Something flew in his way, and without even glancing at it, Noa grabbed it.

He guessed it was a sword, but couldn't see it—his wrists were too fast for his eyes to follow.

Then he started attacking again.

He was constantly on the edge of death.

A single delay in his actions and he would drop dead to the ground.

Noa felt his concentration wavering.

If it wasn't for his experience and the practice back in the bunker, he would have lost his echoes long ago.

Arthur didn't fare any better.

The boy had accumulated enough wounds to die because of the blood loss.

Yet he prevailed.

Both of them moved, but their lack of teamwork slowed their progress.

Time ticked by, and the previous light from the altar almost came back.

Noa knew they couldn't delay, so he exhausted all his mana, exploding every wound he gave the demon king.

It created a huge explosion, shockwaves launching his body out of the way.

The blast left reverberating echoes in the hall, deafening both of them.

At least it came with the demon king losing half of its body.

It was dying surely, but the question was if it would happen before the altar was restored.

Noa, dropped to the ground and covered with bones, couldn't move his body.

The same thing happened to Arthur as the boy blacked out.

"Let the Doom take your sorry life!" Noa yelled, trying to stand up.

Just as he said it, the system announced his win, as if his words were a verdict for the monster.

[ You've killed Evolved Unkillable DemonKing Lv. ??? ]

[ You've gained 20,000 Experience Points ]

[ Level Up! ]

[ Level Up! ]

...

...

...

A huge amount of experience points and attributes filled his being.

No additional attributes for killing a boss monster higher level than him were delivered, as the very idea of the demon king's death didn't exist.

Noa was about to check Arthur and ask him to plunder the beast when the entire space shook.

The colossal titan and its remains started crumbling.

This magnificent entity was losing its standing, and if he wanted to survive, Noa had to start running.

First, he greedily touched the demon king, putting an undiscovered ring in his pocket.

Noa also understood what this phenomenon would mean to the Velrox.

Every Ember would start talking about this destroyed zone.

They would wonder who managed to defeat the unkillable demon king, and he would be at the center of attention once again.

Then he glanced at Arthur, thinking whether he should leave the protagonist behind.
