360: Chapter 360 Want to date online, bro?

Silver light, like a full moon, completely enveloped Ragnor's massive body.

The flame warhammer, carrying the power to destroy the heavens and earth, froze mid-air.

The magma rolling on the surface of the warhammer seemed to lose its heat, instantly solidifying into dull obsidian.

In Ragnor's eyes, the scorching white fire pillars flickered violently, and its massive body felt as if it were tightly bound by invisible chains.

"No... this is impossible..."

Ragnor let out a wheezing roar.

It discovered with terror that not only had the violent fire elements within its body stopped circulating, but even its connection to the Source Realm laws had been forcibly severed.

The skill panel was completely grayed out.

This was the fourth form of the Heaven-Breaking Sword Technique, Closing Moon.

Wherever the sword intent reached, it severed the flow of energy and locked down spiritual perception.

In game mechanics, this wasn't just a forced interrupt; it also carried an absolute silence effect.

For a Mythic-tier BOSS that relied on magic and mechanics, silence was equivalent to being a fish on a chopping block.

"Villains die from talking too much, and they also die from channeling."

Chen You did not give Ragnor any chance to catch its breath.

He flipped his wrist, and liquid Pure Yang spiritual energy poured into the sword body without reservation.

"Hum—"

The yuhuang sword let out a high-pitched dragon roar, and the sword body split into three.

Three golden, brilliant flying swords hovered in front of Chen You in a triangular formation, and the surrounding space rippled visibly as it couldn't withstand this sharp intent.

"Go."

Chen You formed a sword gesture with his fingers and pointed forward.

The three beams of golden light connected head to tail, transforming into a golden dragon that bit its own tail, instantly piercing through Ragnor's chest.

"Boom!"

- 350000! (Weak Point Break)

- 220000! (Critical Hit)

- 380000! (Fatal Strike)

... A series of dizzyingly exaggerated golden damage numbers floated up from above Ragnor's head.

No grappling, no kiting, not even a real fight.

Just seconds ago, the Flame Demon King, who had been grandstanding and preparing to wipe out everyone with one hammer blow, now had a massive hole over five meters in diameter in its chest.

Ragnor looked down at the hole in its chest, the fire pillars in its eyes dimming rapidly until they finally extinguished completely.

"Crack... Rumble!"

The lava body, dozens of meters high, collapsed like a sand tower that had lost its support, turning into a sky full of charred rubble and cooled magma, crashing onto the obsidian platform.

Battle over.

Everyone on the obsidian platform didn't know how to react.

The fifteen surviving players remained in their positions from a few seconds ago, motionless.

The Berserker had his mouth wide open, not even noticing that his jaw had dislocated.

He looked at the pile of rubble, then at Chen You, who was standing there without even a crease in his clothes, and raised his hand to slap himself hard.

The crisp sound of the slap echoed through the empty underground space.

"It hurts..." the Berserker muttered to himself, "Not a dream."

The Thief frantically scrolled through the system's combat log panel.

There were no skill prompts, only a series of unbelievable damage data.

A level 45 player had solo-killed a Mythic-tier Lord with tens of millions of health points in seconds using basic attack combos.

The Priest's knees went weak, and she knelt directly on the ground.

She dropped the staff in her hand, clasped her hands together, and began to pray toward Chen You's back.

In that moment, she even forgot that she believed in the God of Light; she only wanted to prostrate herself before the living monster in front of her.

Chen You ignored the commotion behind him.

He put away the yuhuang sword and brushed the dust off his hands.

[System Prompt: Congratulations on completing the unique hidden quest "Elegy of Ice and Fire".]

[Quest objective achieved: Kill the Flame Demon King, Ragnor.]

[Please use the quest item to absorb the Flame Demon King's core energy to complete the final step.]

Chen You opened his backpack and took out the "Sealed Lava Heart" that had cost him over a hundred thousand gold coins.

This thing had originally been a piece of junk used to prop up a vending machine, but later, after absorbing fifty thousand gold coins, it had transformed into its current appearance.

On the outside, it was a dodecahedral crystal covered in lava-like patterns, feeling heavy in his hand.

Chen You walked over to Ragnor's remains.

He brought the crystal close to the pile of shattered obsidian.

A blinding red light lit up on the surface of the crystal, and an extremely strong suction force erupted from within the stone.

The residual energy that had not yet dissipated from Ragnor's remains turned into strands of tangible red light, which were forcibly extracted and poured continuously into the crystal.

As the energy was injected, the patterns on the crystal's surface began to peel off.

Those impurities turned into fly ash and dissipated into the air.

Ten seconds later, the absorption ended.

The item in Chen You's hand had completely changed its appearance.

It was no longer a dodecahedral crystal.

It had turned into a palm-sized, square, crystal-clear red glass plate.

Inside the crystal, golden data streams were moving rapidly, exuding a sense of technology that did not belong to the current magic system of the Source Realm.

Before he could figure it out, the glass plate suddenly lit up, and a very familiar green bubble chat box popped up in the center of the screen.

[Beep beep!]

A crisp notification sound rang in Chen You's mind.

Chen You subconsciously tapped it.

On the screen, a stranger with a pink twin-tailed anime girl avatar sent a message.

[Invincible Beauty: Hello~]

[Invincible Beauty: Want to date online, little brother? [Heart gesture.gif]]

Chen You stared at the heart gesture emoji that was frantically wiggling its butt, falling into a long silence.

Who am I? Where am I?

Did I just kill a Mythic-tier Flame Demon King?

Why did the art style suddenly turn into an online dating channel?

Meanwhile.

The fifteen surviving players stood a hundred meters away, the sound of them swallowing saliva coming one after another.

The Berserker had his mouth open, his gaze shifting back and forth between Chen You's back and the rubble on the ground.

He raised his hand, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, and turned to look at the Thief beside him.

The Thief pointed at the place where Ragnor had fallen.

Five loot light orbs exuding brilliant light were floating there.

But no one dared to move.

Chen You took a deep breath, really wanting to smash this glass plate.

But thinking about how this thing was worth over a hundred thousand gold coins, he held back.

He stretched out his finger, poked the screen, and tentatively typed.

[Chen You: Who are you? Are you selling tea leaves or scamming for marriage?]

As soon as the message was sent, the other side replied instantly.

[Invincible Beauty: I am the cutest existence in this star sector. You looked so cool when you were fighting just now; you took down that big dummy in three sword strikes.]

[Invincible Beauty: Add me as a friend. Transfer 300 gold coins, and unlock private photos. [Heart]]

Chen You's brows knitted into a tight knot.

This routine was too familiar.

In the real world, this was a clear case of cross-border telecom fraud.

But this was the Source Realm.

[Chen You: Speak human, or I'll throw you into the lava.]
