Another global announcement rang out as Sam killed Asmodeus.
[Congratulations to "Sam Walker" for being the first human in history to complete the "Fourth Layer" and killing the Layer Boss: Asmodeus.]
Sam stood over the corpse, catching his breath.
"I guess that's done with," he muttered, sighing as he wiped some blood from his lip. "Fuck, that was close."
He had barely made it out alive.
His [Eternal Barrier] had shattered, and at one point, he genuinely thought he'd die.
But at the very least, he hadn't needed to use [I Always Come Back].
Sam lifted his [Primordial Sword], and a single black tendril extended from the blade.
It pierced Asmodeus' chest, digging into the remains of the Forsaken Lord's heart.
With a sudden pull, the tendril yanked out the core of Asmodeus, still pulsing faintly with power, and absorbed it into the blade.
Immediately, Sam felt the effect.
