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

Chapter 262

We island hop above the massive crab creatures that explode from the sand below devouring every bit of sandy beach one after another. The string of islands slowly sinks into the ocean floor as we move forward.

The orange and red culprits all range from level 495 to 505.

I send an occasional flaming shot down, but Lydia doesn't bother. I kill 3 in total, but unfortunately don't gain any levels.

I'm sure if I stuck around and farmed here for an hour or two I'd be able to reach level 500 in no time.

There are only 4 levels left, surely I'll make it there soon.

After another half an hour of flying passes, we make it to the final island. A lone Boss Room portal sits on the sandy shore next to a single palm tree.

The deep blue ocean gently crashes and ripples behind it.

Like clockwork, as a mutant crab erupts from the ground below, we jump through letting the creature throw a fit by itself and destroy the island.

Transfer magic flashes and brings us to a nearly identical island. The only difference is, behind us there aren't any remains of fallen sandy shores.

It's a deep ocean on all sides, a small sandy beach devoid of life is all we get. The sand stretches out on all sides of 20 meters or so and the ocean waves crash onto the shoreline.

I shift my feet in the golden ground, preparing for something to attack. While gripping my sword, my gaze moves around the island and I power up my stat-boosting skills.

It's best not to be overconfident. Like Lydia said earlier, everything beyond this point will be uncharted territory for her and myself.

The unstable ground starts to shake and churn under our feet. This is definitely the time to make some distance between us and the incoming threat.

The white-haired ice wielder and I both leap into the air as more sand crumbles away beneath our feet.

By the time we make it up 10 meters half of the small island has sunken into the ocean's depths. A dark red colored crab waves its pincers and long legs in our direction in its place.

It's a level 530 King Crab.

I glow red and Lydia glows light blue. She actually draws one of her blades this time. The hunter is finally starting to get serious.

With two downward swings, the dungeon boss doesn't even get a moment to think.

It's sliced in half with blades of ice and fire in a matter of seconds.

It does show some resilience, as its shielding and body hardening activates. White light shines bright but its hell shatters still, failing to stop either of our incoming strikes in the end.

The Boss Room of the 24th Floor is completed in under 10 seconds.

[Level Up]

We glide down to the sandy beach to collect a massive pink mana crystal and a fragment thick red glowing shell.

It's a piece of the crab's shell with an impressive +3000 Defense buff. I'd like to have it, but considering I stole the last mutant Boss' core without asking, letting Lydia keep this one doesn't bother me.

The mage holds onto it as we're transferred to the next floor.

Her voice can be heard through the bright white transfer magic.

"Floor 25... We're getting into the real dangerous territory now. The Association usually only lets teams of 3 seasoned B-Rank hunters farm on floors above this level. Prepare for the worst. Anything can happen."
