[CH200+ Continued] Dungeon Diver: Stealing A Monster's Power

Chapter 261

I choose [YES].

As the fragments of white dungeon mass collapse in on themselves, being dragged into the core and a very fast rate. I activate my Temporary Minion Perk, attempting to take control of the deceased Boss.

It takes a moment to activate as I enter a lower level. Just 20% under the max will be much easier to handle.

[Level 400]

Threads of white and pink light attach the black hole of mana to my fingertips.

Just like the times before when I used this skill, I begin to gain full control of the deceased creature's body.

Even so, the swirling black core has already absorbed more than half of the floor in the dungeon.

We all float high above the ground as the swirling mass and light flash constantly below.

A few seconds pass, and I gain full control. My mind's eye can see exactly what the Metal Warrior see's as it stores dungeon mass in its core.

It seems it didn't get to fully exploit this feature when we battled... but I'm curious to see how it works in the near future.

I could stop the chaos, but decide to keep up the show. Fisher and Lydia probably have enough questions already, there's no need to give them any more.

Plus, absorbing every last white metal fragment may come in handy if I want to summon this creature again. I knew something felt off about this material, it's not normal dungeon mass, but I can't quite put my finger on what it is.

Our main mission is still to get to the top of this Labyrinth. Not much else matters right now, so it's a question for another day.

Simultaneously, the blinding white transfer magic of the Boss Room activates, bringing the 3 of us up to floor 24.

"Item Storage."

Not wanting to miss out on the potential loot of a ranked-up mutant boss like this, I place the bonded core into my item storage.

My mana threads snap and dissolve the moment it enters my pocket world. Then, the white transfer magic fades.

My black boots sink into the ground as the familiar sensation of hot sand under my feet and the glimmering rays of sunshine beat down overhead.

I take in a deep breath and the smell of salt water and fish fills my nose.

The crash of a nearby wave makes me raise my eyes to see an ocean in front of us for as far out onto the horizon as I can see.

I turn around to be surprised by the sight of an ocean off in that direction too.

To my left and right, the waves of a deep blue sea fill my vision once again.

Lush green palm trees grow high in the sky to give off a bit of shade, and smaller plant life grows below it.

We all relax knowing that the Boss Room fight is over, but I can't help but realize the new problem we're facing.

I whisper to myself.

"This is a desert island..."

Fisher replies with a laugh, pointing his blade into the deep blue water.

"Yeah, there's more too. Plenty of islands for as far as the eye can see!"

He's right.

There's dozens of them way off in the distance, similar to the one we stand on now.

Every few hundred meters, a small golden desert island with a patch of palm trees pops up.

In between each of them, there's deep blue water and calm rolling waves.
