Lucian let out a massive sigh of relief, slumping slightly. He had done it. He looked at the twelve shimring pieces of Legendary gear laid out before him – helm, cuirass, gauntlets (a pair now), greaves, boots, belt, cloak, pauldrons, bracers, an amulet, a ring, and the crackling hamr, King's Judgent.

The complete set pulsed with interconnected energy, far exceeding the sum of its parts. Lucian felt the strength surging through the items even though he hadn't eqipped it yet.
"Baltzer," Lucian commanded.
The newly crowned King Baltzer materialized, kneeling instantly.
"Equip these." Lucian gestured to the shimring set.
Baltzer looked at the gear, then back at Lucian, a flicker of sothing akin to awe in his intelligent eyes.
He reached out, touching the crackling hamr first. As his scaled fingers made contact, the lightning intensified, arcing harmlessly around his form. He picked up the piece, then the next, equipping the entire set.
The transformation was dramatic. The legendary armor settled onto his fra perfectly, scales integrating with scales, lightning energy swirling around him, rging with his innate sparks. When he hefted King's Judgent, the obsidian skull hamr crackled violently, lightning arcing between its horns. King Baltzer stood tall, looking like a true monarch of storms and swamps, radiating imnse power. His aura felt vastly stronger than before.
Lucian nodded, satisfied. This shadow was now a true powerhouse.
With the first floor thoroughly plundered and his shadow upgraded, Lucian turned his attention upward.
Ti for Floor 2.
The portal deposited Lucian onto the familiar, rocky plateau of the second floor. The air was thin and cold, mountains stretching into the distance under a sky dominated by colossal, slow-moving storm clouds. The faint scent of ozone and damp rock filled the air.
This ti, there was no caution. Lucian imdiately summoned his forces.
"Levi! Baltzer! Alphas!"
King Baltzer appeared, crackling with lightning, King's Judgent held ready. Levi materialized, axe and shield gleaming. The eight Infernal Mastiff Alphas took positions, growling low.
Lucian pointed towards the distant peak where the Attack Titan dwelled. "Forward. Maximum speed. Destroy everything."
What followed was not a climb, but a conquest. Levi, now Knight rank and benefiting from Lucian's increased stats, charged ahead, World Splitter Axe leaving devastation in its wake. Lesser rock elentals and mindless titans that wandered the lower slopes were obliterated by single swings or crushed underfoot.
Baltzer, now King rank and clad in his Legendary Regalia, was a storm of destruction. He leaped across chasms, King's Judgent summoning arcs of lightning that vaporized foes. When a group of three smaller titans charged him, he activated [Earth Shaker].
"THOOM!"
He slamd the hamr onto the ground. The plateau trembled violently, fissures splitting the rock. The charging titans lost their footing, stumbling and falling. Baltzer charged forward, lightning crackling around him, bringing the hamr down on the closest one's head.
"CRACK-KABOOM!"
The titan's head exploded in a shower of rock, gore, and blue lightning. Chain lightning leaped to the other two stunned titans, causing them to convulse before Baltzer finished them with brutal efficiency.
The Infernal Mastiffs acted as cleanup crew, their Shadowfla Breath washing over lesser enemies, their jaws tearing apart anything that survived the initial onslaught.
Lucian himself flew forward using Crimson Shadow Step and Shadow Pounce in quick succession, bypassing entire sections of the mountain. He arrived at the upper plateau, the Attack Titan's domain, far ahead of his shadows.
The ground trembled. The Attack Titan erged from its cave, larger and more imposing than Lucian rembered, steam venting from its hardened skin. Its eyes fixed on Lucian, burning with familiar rage.
[Attack Titan — Warlord of Unyielding Fury]
[Level: 35]
[Type: Boss Monster]
"Round two," Lucian grinned, Dragon Soul Devourer appearing in his hand. This ti, he had backup.
The Attack Titan roared and charged, its footsteps shaking the mountain. Lucian t the charge head-on.
"CLANG!" Their initial clash sent a shockwave blasting across the plateau.
But this ti, before the Titan could follow up, a bolt of brilliant blue lightning slamd into its side.
"KA-CHUNK-ZZZZT!"
The Titan roared in pain and surprise, staggering slightly as electricity coursed over its hardened skin. King Baltzer had arrived, leaping onto a nearby ridge, King's Judgent held high.
"ROOOAR!" Levi arrived monts later, charging from the other flank, World Splitter Axe raised for a Sundering Blow.
The Attack Titan found itself facing not one, but three significant threats. It roared in fury, trying to swat at Baltzer while blocking Levi's axe with its forearm.
"BANG!" Levi's axe bit deep, shattering the Titan's hardened skin.
While the Titan was distracted, Lucian darted in. "[Mountain-Cleaving Slash]!"
The golden-red arc sliced across the Titan's back, carving a deep, steaming wound.
The battle devolved into a brutal, chaotic lee. Levi, with his imnse bulk and legendary gear (though still incomplete), acted as the primary tank, absorbing and blocking the Titan's furious blows with his shield. His axe constantly hamred at the Titan's limbs and torso in retaliation.
