Mystic Calling：Stone of Glory-Chapter 479: Was the gap really this massive?

"We finally did it!"

Ethan’s eyes lit up, his whole expression shifting into one of pure excitement.

Seraphina had evolved into an Intermediate Deity.

A divine rank-up like this was basically an upgrade to her Primordial Force. Sure, it wasn’t quite on the same level as a full Tier advancement, but it was still a serious power boost—no doubt about that. freewёbnoνel.com

Just how strong was Seraphina now?

"Check out her new stats!" Ethan vanished in a flash, pulling himself out of the battle zone where he’d been clashing with Malenthia. The moment she saw him retreat, Malenthia moved to intercept—but then suddenly froze.

Her head snapped up.

Seraphina was already tearing through the sky, diving straight at her like a meteor.

"RAAAHHH!"

"You filthy dungeon maggot! From now on, I’m your opponent!" Seraphina roared, her voice thunderous. Her massive dragon wings unfurled with a sharp snap, each one pulsing with terrifying Draconic Force. Her entire body radiated raw magical energy, and as she flew through the sky, she looked like a comet crashing down from the heavens.

"You’re asking for it!"

Malenthia’s face twisted with fury at Seraphina’s boldness.

"BOOM!" A storm of dark curse energy exploded behind her, swirling into a massive wave of black magic that surged forward like a tsunami, crashing toward Seraphina in a relentless tide.

"Shadow Hex!"

"Get the hell out of my way!" Seraphina bellowed, unleashing her own innate power.

"Venomous Dragon Breath!"

From her gaping maw, a colossal beam of dark green Draconic Force erupted like a pillar of destruction, slamming straight into the oncoming curse magic.

"BOOM!" The impact shattered the dark energy, breaking it apart into countless fragments of black matter that scattered like dying stars, swallowed by the storm raging in the sky.

"Wh-what?!" Malenthia’s whole body trembled.

She stared at Seraphina in disbelief.

How was this possible?

Just a few hours ago, Seraphina had clearly been weaker—there was a noticeable gap between them. And now? Now she was going toe-to-toe with her?

How the hell did that happen?

This... this shouldn’t be possible!

"RAAAHHH!"

At that moment, Seraphina—who had just matched Malenthia blow for blow—felt a surge of confidence explode inside her.

If she could hold her own, then they had this fight in the bag.

Her eyes blazed with battle-lust, her entire body igniting with power. She became a blazing fireball in the sky, a streak of crimson flame carving a path through the heavens. With wings spread wide, she soared higher, her presence overwhelming, her gaze locked on Malenthia as she descended like divine judgment.

"Let’s keep going!"

Seraphina roared again—

And launched her next attack!

"I’ll kill you!" Malenthia’s eyes flashed with icy rage. Her killing intent surged, her expression twisted with fury.

"BOOM!"

"BOOOOOOMMMMMM—"

The collision of their powers triggered a shockwave that blasted out for thousands of feet in every direction. Everything in its path—any unit below Tier 13 Legendary—was obliterated on the spot. Living or dead, it didn’t matter. They were vaporized in an instant, like they’d been hit by a nuke.

"Gulp." Even the Crimson Ultimate heroes—like the Green Dragon Orryn—were stunned. Their jaws dropped as they watched the sky tear apart. Their entire understanding of power was being rewritten in real time.

Sure, they were all Crimson Ultimate heroes too...

But was the gap really this massive?

This wasn’t just a battle—it was the end of the world.

"Whoosh!"

A wave of heat surged through the air as a streak of light flashed across the sky, landing right beside Ethan.

"Lord Ethan, are you alright?" Isaryne’s voice was calm but laced with concern.

"I’m fine. I’m a Crimson Ultimate Hero too, remember? I’m not that easy to break," Ethan replied with a tired smile. "But I do need a breather. The strongest enemy’s been handed off to Seraphina now anyway."

As he spoke, he gave Isaryne a quick once-over—and blinked in surprise.

She was already level 68.

Just one level behind him.

Isaryne met his gaze, then said softly, "I don’t think Seraphina can take down Malenthia on her own... not yet."

Ethan paused, then nodded with a wry grin. "Yeah... you’re probably right."

Even though Seraphina had ascended to Intermediate Deity, taking down a Dungeon King solo was still a tall order.

At that level, there were no weaklings. Every one of them was a monster in their own right.

Seraphina might be able to fight Malenthia to a draw now—but actually defeating her? That was still a stretch.

"But still... this is already incredible," Ethan murmured, a note of awe in his voice.

"She’s going toe-to-toe with a real Dungeon King."

That kind of power—being able to stand on equal footing with a Dungeon King—was enough to make anyone’s blood race. No matter where you were in the world, that kind of strength was something to be proud of.

"Yeah," Isaryne echoed, her voice soft with admiration as she looked up at Seraphina. "To be able to fight a Dungeon King like that... she’s already insanely powerful."

She paused, then added, almost to herself, "At this rate, it won’t be long before she becomes a King-tier powerhouse herself."

Meanwhile, Ethan had already pulled up Seraphina’s updated status panel, eyes scanning it with focused intensity.
