The countdown to the Enhancement slowly approached 60 seconds.
The countdown had already begun.
As the countdown sounded, Kane slowed down his firepower, and the launch pad and barrel behind him began to melt and quickly coalesced, forming a massive launch silo on the firepower platform.
A warhead with an evil smiling face was forming inside the silo.
Magic Power was wildly infused into it until it was completely filled to the brim.
Then, he attached Death Gaze onto it.
"Launch!"
The missile slowly ascended into the sky.
He then shouted loudly at the Ruby Lapel Pin on his collar: "Prepare to dodge!"
Making use of the last moments of the Holy Grail Enhancement.
In a few flashes, Lilu arrived at the back of the slope, and Kane also arrived here with several flashes.
Longbei reverted to his original form, lifted by Meizike with four Magic Palms onto Cotton Candy.
The farthest, Kreya, put away her War Axe and transformed into a white afterimage, rushing madly towards the back of the slope.
The gigantic missile fell from the sky towards the ground, the smiling face on the warhead with a gaping mouth, seemingly laughing hysterically.
Finally, just before the missile was about to hit the ground, Kreya arrived by Kane and the others and hid.
Blinding light even overshadowed the sun in the sky, and Explorers throughout the dungeon noticed this intense light.
Then there was a deafening roar, echoing throughout the dungeon.
The ground began to shake wildly, causing cracks to appear where Kane and the others stood.
At this moment, Kane and the others couldn't hear anything, wearing special noise-canceling earmuffs made by Kane, isolating all outside sounds.
When all this massive commotion subsided, Kane and the others poked their heads out to look at the missile impact point.
The area was covered in swirling snow and dust, and Lilu, in a flash, removed her skill, restoring the area to its original state.
A gust of cold wind blew by, sweeping away the snow and dust, revealing the ground beneath.
A huge crater appeared on the snowy ground, its perimeter somewhat crystallized, with numerous human head statues scattered within, preserved quite well.
But even so, many Explorers survived.
At the viewing area.
Everyone stared silently at the image on the screen, with the entire viewing area falling into a silent void.
This brief minute of encounter caused a tremendous impact on their worldview.
Many couldn't help wiping their eyes, with some even using skills to dispel control effects, trying to ensure they weren't seeing things or experiencing illusions.
Finally, a voice broke the silence in the area.
"Are they really just Silver-level Explorers?"
Faced with this question, everyone around remained silent because they also wanted to know the answer.
Kane and their one minute of cooperation and skill usage caused certain questions about their worldview, with many wondering if Kane and the others were really at that level of Explorers.
There was suspicion of them using some means to deceive the dungeon's monitoring system to enter the inside.
But upon close reflection, it seemed unlikely as each dungeon's monitoring system was based on sensing the Mist.
"Perhaps this scene marks the birth of legends, and we have become witnesses to the birth of legends."
Hearing this, many around nodded in agreement.
"So did you all see clearly? How did they achieve such a level, can anyone explain?"
"It seems like it was the Holy Grail Enhancement in the dungeon, if I'm not mistaken, this Enhancement effect allows them to reach an unlimited Magic Power state within one minute."
"Then what about their captain's skill, what was that all about?"
...
Thus, the observers began intensely arguing over Kane's and their recent skill displays.
"Hahaha, genius, truly genius, the rise of our Mechanical Association is hopeful, we can finally spread the knowledge of mechanics to the world," said Master Rob, gesturing enthusiastically, with joy nearly spilling from his tone.
The young man beside him quickly patted his shoulder and said, "Master, aren't you too happy too soon? Didn't you say before, they won't join the Mechanical Association, they might not even agree to an honorary member title."
Hearing the young man's words, Master Rob smacked the back of his head and scolded, "You fool, he doesn't necessarily need to join the Mechanical Association. As long as he continually uses mechanical knowledge to grow stronger, countless people will follow and emulate him. And already, this battle has made him famous."
The young man rubbed the back of his head and nodded in understanding.
Meanwhile, Burton simply smiled at the screen.
Kane and the others had grown to the point where Burton didn't need to worry about them at all, within just less than a year's time.
The satisfaction and gratification nearly filled his chest.
At this moment in the dungeon, Kane and his team stood not far from the crater, counting the remaining explorers who were still alive.
After a series of operations, they had only managed to take down a little more than half.
However, the remaining 20 or so explorers were mostly robust close-combat types, and all were injured, with tattered equipment, their state having fallen to a very low level.
Raphael got up from the ground, habitually adjusting the frame on his nose, only to find his glasses had vanished.
He transformed into a pile of white feathers and appeared beside his red-skinned Devil teammate.
"We have no chance of victory anymore, let's go."
Then Raphael stood up, beginning to search for his teammates to regroup.
But after looking around for a long time, he only saw the upper half of a fair-skinned girl crawling on the side.
Raphael swiftly appeared beside her, helping the girl up, and then took out a brand-new lower limb from his space equipment and attached it to the girl.
Only then did he see that the fair-skinned girl had various wounds that revealed not flesh and blood, but mechanical and magic power structures—she was a puppet lifeform.
"Shunaya, how are you? Can you move?"
The puppet girl stood up, then twisted her dislocated joints, shook her body slightly, and nodded, saying: "No problem, I can move."
"Shek, it seems we don't need to run, Shek and Minaz are already dead, let's face them," Raphael said to the Devil beside him.
The Devil knowingly nodded and then faced Kane and his team not far away.
For Raphael, the scenery along the way, if not shared with his companions, would be meaningless.
Compared to Raphael, more explorers were not as rational. They got up, found their remaining teammates, faced Kane and his team, and noticed their numbers still outnumbered Kane's team by several fold.
So they taunted: "Now you don't have enhancement effects anymore, do you? Then prepare to die."
These explorers stood up, formed their formation, while Kane and his team, keeping their state intact, did not take advantage of their vulnerability but quietly waited for them to be ready.
This was a grand stage where everyone present were performers, and Kane and his team were undoubtedly the protagonists on this stage.
They aimed for a dignified, crushing victory, to shatter these opponents.
Hearing their taunts, Kane chuckled disdainfully, stepped forward, and said: "Are you ready? If so, let's start the second round."
A white feather shot over, but Kane didn't dodge.
The white feather pierced into the ground at Kane's feet.
"It seems you are ready."
The skills on Kane's body had also been swapped out for a new set.
From the gemstone on his belt, he pulled out the sparkling Potion of the Crown of Valor, poured it into his mouth, and Kreya and the others behind him did the same.
A golden Crown of Valor appeared above their heads.
Dragon horns and dense dragon scales emerged on Kane's body, followed by a golden energy that transformed Kane's limbs into a brilliant energy form, emitting a gentle golden light. The rune circle representing his skill traits appeared behind him.
A mecha began constructing itself around Kane's body.
This mecha was unlike any he had before, with very distinct differences, the combination of limbs more harmonious.
No longer resembling a large suit of armor, but genuinely giving the feeling of a moveable giant.
After such a long time of modification and construction, he finally constructed a creation worthy of being called a mecha.
The mecha's overall design was robust yet not cumbersome, the massive golden ring on its back indicating Kane was still in a demigod state.
The head featured two protrusions resembling dragon horns.
The limbs had very distinct elements of beasts and dragons, and the shoulder armor had two dragon heads, their mouths not a firing port but a floating orb emitting magic power.
The magic patterns on its body wound upward like a dragon-shaped marking, and its back featured a large white cloak embroidered with a lantern symbol.
The reason the Origin Skills could construct such a fabric-like structure was because Kane had placed the upgraded silver Spider Web Skill into the skill enhancement grid.
[Enhancement Grid - Silver 2: Master Weaver] (Grants constructs resilience, increases toughness, reduces magic power consumption.)
After being equipped in the enhancement grid, the Origin Skills gained spider silk-like abilities and effects, though it could not extend beyond 10 meters.
This highly coincided with its original skill characteristics and even received a debuff, so Kane hadn't used it before.
However, now the skill grid was completely full, so he had no choice but to do this, placing the Master Weaver into the skill grid, at least it could serve a purpose rather than being unused.
However, this also provided Kainder's Origin Skills with better moldability.
Kane named this fully realized mecha model he arduously completed: "Curse Dragon".
With Kane's dashing mecha constructed, everyone was slightly awed, even Kreya and the others watched intently, as it was their first time seeing it.
It seems that this is Kane's achievement over this period.
"So, are you ready? We are going to attack."
As Kane's words fell, Kreya and the others all entered combat mode.
