My Charity System made me too OP-Chapter 216: Blood King Treasure II

He dove down, his fist crackling with energy as he slammed it into the serpent's skull. A shockwave erupted from the impact, sending magma splashing in all directions.

The Ember Serpent roared, thrashing violently, its tail whipping toward Leon with the force of a collapsing mountain.

Leon dodged with ease, landing on a floating rock. "Not bad, but you'll need more than brute force."

The serpent's eyes narrowed. "Very well. Let's see if you can handle this."

The entire Abyss began to shake, the lava rising unnaturally. The serpent's body glowed brighter, its power reaching new heights.

Leon smirked, "Now we're talking." He cracked his knuckles, preparing to have a good battle.

The Crimson Abyss rumbled as the Ember Serpent unleashed its full power. The molten rivers surged, forming towering waves of liquid fire that threatened to consume everything in their path.

Leon stood firm, his golden aura flickering against the intense heat. He wasn't worried.

"You're still holding back." He taunted, a smirk playing on his lips.

The Ember Serpent's eyes flashed with anger. "Arrogant mortal! Burn in eternal flames!"

With a deafening roar, the serpent dived into the lava, vanishing beneath the surface. For a moment, everything was silent. Then—

BOOM!

The ground beneath Leon exploded, a pillar of lava shooting up as the Ember Serpent emerged at blinding speed. Its massive jaws, glowing with white-hot fire, lunged at him.

Leon's instincts kicked in, his body moving faster than thought. He twisted in mid-air, barely dodging the serpent's bite, the sheer heat singeing his clothes.

"That was close," he muttered.

Then, without hesitation, he countered.

"Impact Fist!"

A thunderous shockwave erupted as Leon's punch connected with the serpent's head, sending the massive creature crashing into the lava below.

But the fight was far from over.

The lava churned violently, and suddenly—

CRACK!

The Abyss split open, revealing a hidden chamber beneath the molten surface. From within, something ancient and ominous pulsed with power.

Leon's eyes narrowed. "So that's where the seal is hidden."

The Ember Serpent rose once more, its body now covered in intricate glowing runes. It no longer looked like just a beast—it was something more.

"You will not leave here alive," it declared.

Leon grinned, cracking his knuckles. "We'll see about that."

The Ember Serpent coiled around the lava chamber, its runes pulsing with ancient power. The hidden chamber beneath the molten abyss trembled as it prepared its ultimate attack.

Leon's golden aura flared, his Berserk Points suppressed, but his battle instincts sharpened.

"You're desperate now, huh?" he smirked, standing his ground.

The serpent's massive body twisted, generating a violent surge of heat. Its fangs dripped with molten fire, and its eyes glowed with the brilliance of a dying sun.

"This is your end, mortal!"

With a deafening roar, the Ember Serpent unleashed its final attack—Solar Collapse.

The entire cavern was engulfed in blinding golden flames, and the temperature soared, threatening to reduce everything to nothingness.

Leon exhaled calmly, then lifted his hand.

"Nullification Palm."

A dark void expanded from his palm, clashing directly with the overwhelming flames. The two opposing forces collided in a chaotic swirl, struggling for dominance.

The serpent roared, pushing its flames harder.

Leon raised his brows—this was stronger than expected. His arms trembled under the pressure.

"Not enough, huh?" he muttered.

Then—

His aura shifted.

A massive shockwave erupted, splitting the lava in two, sending tremors throughout the entire cavern.

The Ember Serpent's attack shattered.

For the first time, fear flickered in its ancient eyes.

Leon grinned savagely.

"My turn."

With an explosive leap, he appeared above the serpent's head in an instant. His fists clenched as pure destructive energy surged through him.

"Fist of Destruction!"

BOOM!

The impact obliterated the serpent's massive skull, reducing it to nothing but embers. The colossal body collapsed, sinking into the molten abyss.

Silence followed.

The flames died down.

The cavern stopped trembling.

And at the center of the now-exposed hidden chamber, a single floating seal remained—The Infernal Seal of Fire.

Leon exhaled, shaking off the heat. He reached out, grabbing the seal as its ancient power seeped into him.

Another piece of the puzzle was obtained.

"Two seals down, eight more to go," he mumbled, storing the serpent's body away. Its remains could be useful in alchemy, after all.

Leon took a deep breath, feeling the weight of the seals in his grasp. The hidden treasure of the First Blood King was slowly becoming within reach.

He glanced at Ravina, who was watching him with a knowing smirk. "What's next?" he asked.

Ravina crossed her arms. "The next seal is in the Shadow Valley, guarded by the Nightstalker Beasts. Unlike the serpent, they hunt in packs, and their leader is said to be as strong as a high-ranking noble."

Leon smirked. "Sounds fun."

Ravina rolled her eyes. "You say that now, but let's see how you feel when you're surrounded by a dozen of them, each one aiming to rip you apart."

Leon chuckled. "Then I'll just have to kill them all."

Ravina sighed, shaking her head. "Arrogant as always. Fine, but I hope you're ready. The Shadow Valley isn't just dangerous because of the beasts—it messes with your mind, distorting reality. If you're not careful, you'll lose yourself in its illusions."

Leon's smirk deepened. "Illusions, huh? Then this will be a good test."

With that, the two set off toward the Shadow Valley, the hunt for the next seal beginning.

The journey to Shadow Valley was uneventful at first, with Leon and Ravina moving swiftly through the darkened forest. However, as they got closer, an eerie fog started to roll in, distorting the landscape. The air felt heavy, almost suffocating, as whispers echoed around them.

"It's starting," Ravina muttered, gripping her weapon tightly. "The illusions will try to break your mind. Don't trust your eyes."

Leon smiled. "Illusions, huh? Then I just have to rely on something other than sight." Closing his eyes, he let his other senses take over—listening to the faintest rustle, feeling the shifts in the air.

A shadow flickered to his right. Without hesitation, he swung his blade, cutting through the air. A sharp screech followed, and a black, wolf-like creature emerged from the fog, its body covered in writhing shadows.
