The Villain’s Cheat Code: When a Gamer Becomes the Evil God’s Sidekick-Chapter 421: Just Wait, I’m Calling for Backup
Ghostly green flames rolled and twisted at the edge of hell, all metallic noises muffled by the gloomy smoke.
The once-loud clanging of iron had now become incredibly dull, like the beating of an ink-black war drum, heralding the imminent opening of the gates of the dead.
Viktor stood silently, allowing the ghostly green flames to dance upon his long coat.
Behind him, a tiny crack appeared on the massive gate of the dead, from which endless dark green smoke poured out like a tidal wave.
Cerberus, filled with malice, launched the first attack.
It leaped high into the air, its long fangs formed of smoldering flames reflecting the boiling ghostly green fire, rapidly lunging toward Viktor.
Bang!
Just as it was about to reach Viktor's arm, those ferocious jaws snapped shut, and the sound of metal violently colliding echoed in all directions.
But Viktor had already stepped back several paces, easily avoiding the heavy strike through his positioning.
Cerberus only bit into the surrounding air.
Almost simultaneously, Viktor swung his arm, drawing a ghostly green arc in the air.
A formation array quickly condensed in the air, constructed with runes.
At the center of the magic array appeared a twisted, writhing python.
[Fourth-tier Magic: Soul Python]
Viktor lightly flicked his finger, and flames wrapped in thick dark green quickly rolled out.
It coiled around the head with the closed giant mouth, opened its jaws, and struck at Cerberus.
The python wrapped around the blazing head, delivering a deadly bite at the junction where Cerberus's three heads connected.
Bang!
With one bite, it pierced through Cerberus's flaming skin, even leaving two penetrating holes in its pitch-black iron skeleton.
Cerberus quickly retreated, and the long python covered in ghostly fire was torn in half and disappeared.
A pale color flowed from Viktor's hand as he pointed into the air, and several formation arrays bearing dragon totems rotated in the sky.
[Fourth-tier Magic: Pale Wind Sky Fall]
The arrays overlapped and interlaced with each other, and a fierce wind began to swirl beneath his feet.
Orange sparks from the surroundings were drawn into it, slowly moving toward Cerberus.
Cerberus quickly opened its four limbs, transforming into an orange blur that rapidly moved around.
But the whirlwind grew faster and faster, accelerating from its initial gentle state.
Until finally, Cerberus could no longer outpace it.
Feeling the massive suction, Cerberus simply plunged into the center of the whirlwind.
But then, the force of the wind beating against its body gave it a misconception.
This magic didn't seem powerful.
But in the next second, as if deliberately proving it wrong, a pale projectile compressed to the extreme suddenly fell from the top of the whirlwind.
Cerberus instinctively tried to dodge, but its body was already trapped by the whirlwind, and it could only watch helplessly as the pale orb burst open.
Although the violent impact sent it crashing into the distant wall of flames, the fallen body quickly stood up again.
As if it hadn't taken much damage.
However, this effective attack had already shown Viktor a glimpse of hope for victory.
Cerberus had lost its connection with hell, and the endless enhancement effects had disappeared as a result.
For Viktor, this meant that the hellhound before him was now in a state that could be defeated.
Finding a way to break its enhancement effect was the most important point in tackling this monster Cerberus.
However, even after successfully breaking the enhancement, Cerberus remained a terrifyingly powerful beast.
The previous attacks hadn't caused much effective damage.
After all, this Cerberus guarding the gates of hell was level 65.
Even a level 65 pig wouldn't be something a normal fifth-tier mage could casually touch.
Fortunately, Viktor was no ordinary mage.
Cerberus's gear-like four limbs quickly activated, carrying its three steel fangs glinting with cold light as it charged toward Viktor.
One fiery bite after another came in quick succession, but Viktor always managed to avoid the fatal attacks by using ghostly green fire to create momentary phantoms.
If he failed even once, missing the right invincibility frame timing, he would suffer severe injuries.
[The gods are displeased with your use of the power of the scales]
[But your performance has piqued the gods' interest]
[They choose sides, either praising or mocking]
Cerberus quickly adjusted its stance, advancing like a cheetah, twisting its body.
Its massive tail, wrapped in scorching flames, whipped toward Viktor's face, the fire surging before his eyes like a tide.
Destructive air waves swept in all directions, quickly flooding over the surrounding flames.
A patch of ghostly green smoke rose from beneath Viktor's feet, lifting him high, just in time to avoid this strike filled with immense power.
Hovering in the air, Viktor waved his hand, and the dark green smoke shot out like arrows.
The smoke quickly condensed in the air, transforming into a massive crystal that crashed heavily toward Cerberus.
[Fourth-tier Magic: Ghost Mist Condensation]
Bang!
Feeling the enormous pressure, Cerberus rolled backward.
But the scattered dark green fragments falling from its body inevitably reminded it that it had still been hit by Viktor's attack.
[The gods prophesy that you cannot defeat Cerberus]
[Your survival until now is merely luck]
[The beast guarding hell is not weak]
Amidst the rampant orange flames, Viktor calmly handled each attack.
The wailing of steel echoed around, and various ghostly green magics flickered around him, helping him nimbly avoid deadly fangs and charges.
Two streams of color intertwined in the air, but each time Viktor managed to dodge Cerberus's moves with absolutely precise distance and magic, and counter-attack promptly.
Cerberus's endless health bar still showed no blank space, but the heavy numbers were constantly dropping.
In that infinite repetition, now, the hellhound's life had been reduced significantly.
[That god who wanted to see you struggle is getting a bit restless]
[Cerberus gains 'Intermittent Phantasm']
As if receiving some kind of summons, a hazy aura entered Cerberus's body.
Its massive form began to become hazy and transparent, and Viktor's ghostly green flames passed straight through its body.
But in the next second, the golden scales in Viktor's hand once again burst forth with a phantom light.
[The scales of the Goddess of Justice are scrutinizing all injustice]
[Cerberus loses 'Intermittent Phantasm']
Light shone upon Cerberus's orange body, and the originally hazy phantasm was now stripped away, gradually dissipating.
[The Underworld issues a warning to the gods]
[This is a fair contest]
Viktor raised his head, looking at Cerberus's extremely long health bar.
After the rapid entanglement just now, the edge of Cerberus's life was already exposed to Viktor's eyes.
The hellhound twisted its body, its four limbs contracting inward, and its three heads also twisting, as if endless pain was erupting from within.
A rift was forcibly torn open above its heads, and a sharp steel blade extended from above the three heads, flashing with piercing cold light.
The three blades gleamed, and orange sparks collided with the blades, creating bursts of light.
Four curved blades extended from between the folded joints of its four limbs, and even its original claws and fangs were covered with a layer of incredibly hard black steel.
Cerberus raised its head high and howled toward the sky.
Waves of flames swallowed its original tongue, instead shooting straight into the sky, raising a sea of scorching fire.
When its health reached a certain limit, Cerberus entered its second phase.
But entering the second phase also meant...
Its life was now like a candle in the wind.
Viktor silently calculated the damage in his mind. He raised his head, his calm gaze looking at Cerberus who had entered the second phase, and said:
"Well, the farce should end now."
Azure magical power flowed in his eyes like a band of stars, and a layer of illusory power rose around Viktor's body.
Magic power surged out from within Viktor like waves, rolling and tumbling, flooding the ground around him.
In the sea of azure magic, waves rose, and Viktor's black coat coiled upward.
Five differently colored patterns flowed up along the coat, and five elemental colors collided and merged around his body, causing a massive wave of air around Viktor.
The sea of magic power flooded the ground, but in Cerberus's eyes, it saw a different scene.
A massive magical body slowly rose from the ground, and five gigantic beasts stirring the elements rose from the earth.
Before these five colossal beasts that blotted out the sky, at this moment, Cerberus felt as small as a pebble in the sea, incredibly insignificant.
The illusory magical beasts stood on the ground, surrounded by five-colored elements, and five differently colored massive arrays rotated and constructed in the air.
Hazy runes and patterns gathered together, frantically displaying mysterious power on this border of hell.
[The gods are surprised by this]
[They are interested in these forces of nature]
[The Underworld continues to monitor you]
[It seems that the long-awaited gates of the Underworld finally have a chance to open again]
Cerberus sensed an incredibly massive threat, and its eyes, bursting with orange sparks, were filled with the five elemental colors.
But having entered the second phase, it was even more ferocious than before.
The scorching flames spewing from its mouth heated its pitch-black giant claws to a red glow, even faintly showing the red light of metal.
The next moment, Cerberus's body was surrounded by crimson dust.
Its massive body shed the orange flames, transforming into scarlet flames.
Endless waves of air erupted from beneath it, flames rising from its mouth, and the scorching air waves formed a traveling comet rushing toward Viktor.
At this time, the four giant beasts behind Viktor slowly faded away, and the huge elemental arrays hanging in the air also dissipated together in the ghostly green mist.
The black Wind Calamity tumbled in the void, interplaying with those massive interlocking arrays, forming a brilliant light.
The dragon raised its head and roared toward the high sky, and a burning white flame burst forth in Viktor's eyes.
[Wind Calamity—Sky Plummet]
