Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 634 - 557: Suicide?

A cone-shaped vehicle charged at high speed toward the location of Prince Qing.

Prince Qing was exceptionally alert, sensing Kane and his crew's arrival from several kilometers away and immediately turning to run.

She had confirmed that Kane and the others had eliminated her other four siblings, and Kane's group was beyond her ability to handle.

To be honest, she was acutely aware that her authority was not suited for combat.

Although not the weakest among her siblings, she possessed only mid to low-level power, and facing Kane and his team, she knew she had no chance of victory.

The instinct to preserve her life made her willing to throw away her dignity and the majesty of being a ruler; running away was not shameful.

However, Kane's vehicle was incredibly fast, far exceeding Prince Qing's expectations, and soon she saw a giant, rapidly moving iron object hurtling toward her.

Prince Qing immediately turned sharply and raced to the side, while the RV vanished instantly upon arrival, and Kane and his crew landed steadily.

As soon as they landed, the group burst out, chasing directly after Prince Qing.

In an instant, a layer of steel creation appeared on Kane's body, rapidly extending as both Divine Human State and Divine Envoy Mecha emerged together.

The Divine Golden Wheel on his back pushed out a visible shockwave, then the Divine Envoy Mecha turned into a beam of light, charging at Prince Qing.

Sensing something rushing at her from behind, Prince Qing quickly dodged to the side.

Kane's Divine Envoy Mecha rushed forward at such a speed that it couldn't turn, only travel in a straight line, so after Prince Qing evaded the attack, it halted right in front of her.

Kane found that aside from Burton, Prince Qing's alertness and evasion were the most agile they had encountered.

Unless it was a close-combat suppressive attack, other types of attacks were nearly impossible to hit.

But since they had already rushed up to Prince Qing, they couldn't let her escape now.

A staff head with a purple gemstone appeared inside Kane's cockpit, emitting a purple glow from the gemstone.

Magic Power surged out, rapidly constructing a group of steel arenas around them, layers of steel walls surrounding the area.

With the support of the Authority of Creation, Kane's Origin Skills, the range and consumption were no longer a problem.

Several large holes were blown open on one iron wall of the massive steel arena, and Kreya and the others burst in from outside.

At this moment, Kane clearly saw the specific appearance of Prince Qing in front of him.

It was similar to the illusions Heideline had shown him before, with little change from the appearance he had seen.

Maintaining a noble and elegant exterior and attire, except now looking a bit disheveled.

Beside Prince Qing, a long platinum rod floated in the air, with visible break marks at the top, while a section of transparent crystal protruded from the lower end.

That should be the last fragment of the Crystal Scepter, representing the harmonious staff body.

Prince Qing looked at the group who had surrounded her, realizing she couldn't escape.

All she wanted now was to flee; she barely had any desire to fight. With the authority of harmony, she could clearly sense this group of subverters' grasp of authority.

She could feel that the other four brother and sister authorities had all been mastered by Kane and his team, and while they may not be proficient, it was certainly enough to deal with her.

Not to mention that creation and death had reached a certain level of mastery.

Moreover, creation had a suppressive effect on other authorities, leaving her completely clueless about how to handle the subverters before her.

Powerlessness and despair filled her heart.

She feared death, particularly at this very moment.

"Wait a moment."

Seeing Kane and the others clutching their weapons tightly, about to attack her, Prince Qing shouted.

She picked up the platinum staff body floating beside her and said to the crowd, "Is this what you're after?"

She said this and directly pushed the staff body over to them.

"I can sense that you came directly for me without searching for my whereabouts; why did it take so long for you to come?"

She then said with a somewhat bitter expression, "So my whereabouts have always been in your grasp, haven't they?"

Next, she stared at Kane and his team and asked, "Then why did you wait so long before coming, when the time interval for killing the other princes is extremely short, within days, even under a day? Why would you wait so long for an attack on me?"

Facing Prince Qing's questions, Kane and his group had no interest in chatting with her.

They weren't in the habit of answering enemy questions.

Furthermore, Kane and his team knew very little about Prince Qing's intelligence, feeling uncertain about the platinum scepter now floating among them, pushed over by Prince Qing.

The princes fought hard over the fragments of authority, dragging the already broken world into greater suffering; how could they let it go so easily?

"You're aiming to deal with that, right?" Prince Qing suddenly pointed at the Golden Bridge in the sky and asked.

Seeing her say this, Kane and the others' faces remained expressionless.

"It seems I was right, then the subverter wielding the Authority of Death, have you completed constructing the Soul Return Place?" Somehow, Prince Qing confirmed her words, then slightly turned her head to ask Kreya.

The group still did not speak, nor did they show any expression.

"So it's already completed."

She reconfirmed her question.

Though it was unclear what abilities Prince Qing possessed, the situation now could no longer be paused.

The golden light wheel behind emitted a shockwave, and Kane rushed at Prince Qing at incredible speed.

Facing Kane charging at her, Prince Qing stood still, showing no intention to dodge, and a crystalline dagger appeared in her hand, which she directly plunged into her own chest. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Seeing Prince Qing's action, Kane immediately halted his charge, stopping in place.

This use of self-sacrifice-driven skills was hardly something easy to deal with.

"Careful!" Prince Qing's act of attacking herself caused Kane to shout to his group.

Longbei immediately transformed into a five-meter-tall Gray Stone Giant, holding a shield to maximize defense, standing in front of the others.

Meanwhile, Kane swiftly spent magic power to create a smaller cage, trapping Prince Qing within, using layers upon layers of steel plates.

However, these steel plates were transparent, allowing Kane and the others not to lose sight of Prince Qing.

The rest also quickly used various defensive magic shields or potions, applying them on everyone.

In an instant, everyone's defenses reached their maximum, including resistance to physical, magical, spiritual, and soul attacks.

However, the problem was, after Prince Qing inserted the dagger into their chest, there were no further actions, but instead directly knelt on the ground.

Gold and red mixed blood slowly flowed from the wound, soaking her clothes, and then staining the ground beneath Prince Qing with a bright, blood-red gold.

Her exquisite face quickly turned pale, her eyes closed lifelessly, then her whole head hung low, with her hands also drooping down.

The group, already covered with multiple layers of magic shields, vigilantly watched inside the transparent steel cage.

After waiting for a few minutes, the group still did not feel any attacks or energy fluctuations.

On the contrary, in Kane's Eagle Eye, the energy within Prince Qing's body was quickly flowing along the wound, identical to the scene generated by other deceased people, without any difference.

In this situation, distinguishing whether Prince Qing is dead is very simple and direct.

Kane directly lifted his collar to take out a transparent magic stone that had been hanging around his neck.

The transparent magic stone had long been filled with energy, becoming a Silver Magic Stone filled with a silver hue.

"Dead?"

Looking at the magic stone filled with power, Kane was extremely puzzled.

For the magic stone to be filled, it means that Prince Qing is indeed dead, with no loopholes to exploit.

No feigned death or some non-death-like death state would occur; only actual death could cause the body's energy, mixed with some Soul Fragments, to flood into the magic stone, becoming usable energy.

Upon hearing Kane's words, the group also withdrew from their defensive stances, yet remained vigilant as they gathered around Kane.

"Is she dead?" Longbei asked.

Kane nodded.

In this situation, Kreya was also extremely puzzled.

They spent several days, traveled such a long distance, expecting it to be a brutal battle, only for it to end so abruptly.

As the last of the kings, Prince Qing simply committed suicide.

This scenario completely exceeded Kane and the others' expectations; they had never anticipated such a scene.

So when such an absurd scene truly appeared, they instinctively believed it was false, some kind of ritual or attack.

"Just to be sure, let's check it."

Kane said, revoking the iron walls and cage around them.

Longbei raised his shield, and the group raised their weapons, surrounding Prince Qing's kneeling corpse.

Four transparent Hands of Magic floated over.

Meizike began remotely checking Prince Qing's life signs, after a period of careful examination, confirmed that it was just a corpse.

The life energy within it was draining, and the soul had long vanished.

Only then did the group relax their vigilance slightly.

"But why?" Kane frowned.

The situation was too unexpected, Kane didn't believe Prince Qing committed suicide because they couldn't resist the group.

Facing the crisis of life, even if one couldn't win or escape, they should fight desperately, how could they wait to die or even end themselves?

Not only Kane was perplexed, Kreya and the others could not understand the current behavior either.

Longbei furrowed his brows and said: "Could it be that this body is fake, and the real Prince Qing has long escaped."

Kane shook his head, pointing at the platinum staff floating nearby: "That thing is not fake, moreover whether it's the face, the body's energy, or the blood flowing out, it should be fine."

Through various judgments, they couldn't comprehend Prince Qing's sudden act of suicide.

After all, the moment before Prince Qing was still escaping Kane and the others' chase, the appearance clearly showed a desire to live.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so embarrassing to hide in such a remote place.

Would someone who cherishes life commit suicide the moment they realized they had no hope of survival? Kane didn't believe it.

Surely Prince Qing has some conspiracy, at least it must be to trigger something with her own death, abiding by the principle of biting Kane and the others even in death.

Only this explanation fits logically, explaining the current situation.

"Hmm?"

At this moment, Kreya suddenly paused, emitting a confused sound, and a black gemstone quickly floated around her.

Seeing Kreya's movements, the group instantly became alert, monitoring the surroundings for disturbances.

"Don't panic, it's not an issue around here." Kreya immediately said, seeing their reaction.

Kane looked at Kreya and asked: "What's wrong? Did you discover any problem?"

Kreya shook her head then nodded: "A problem did occur, but not here, rather at the Soul Return Place we built earlier."

"That place... hmm, how should I put it, there are guests."

?

"What do you mean?"

The group did not understand.
