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

Chapter 386

I make sure to reactivate my Rising Emperor's domain buff and give Abby Absorption to aid her in farming MCP and more temporary skills as we travel higher up the Labyrinth.

The level 623 Ice wielding Serpent King Boss is taken out in a single blow.

[Level Up]

I gain a single level, bringing me to 609. The excited look on Abby's face shows she gained a level too.

We're teleported into the next dungeon, and the scenery isn't like anything I've ever seen before.

The ground is fairly even, but colored a pale red. There are some large structures in the distance that block off areas, making it seem as if there's only one path to travel in this dungeon. There are no trees or plants in sight, just the crimson-colored stone. It's almost pink, but is dark enough to contrast with the white sky and radiates just enough mana to give an eerie feeling.

As I take a step forward, I feel the grip on the bottom of my boots is more secure than ever. It feels like I'm on a track field, ready to sprint. The floor is covered in tiny little bumps, and the further we walk in, the more odd this place becomes.

Approaching the first large rock structure, I can see multiple pathways that go right through it, twisting and turning, but all making it to the same endpoint on the other side.

There's even the faint pathway of a trail going around the rocks, looking as if all of this is man-made.

I activate my enemy detection skill and get to the bottom of this mystery in an instant.

In the entire dungeon, there are no more than 10 monsters in total, and they seem to be traveling in groups, and at speeds faster than any creature I've detected before.

"Get ready to fight.... And go all out. These ones are fast..."

There's silence in the air, but Abby does as I say, getting her earth magic ready, glowing light green while looking around the dungeon with a curious gaze.

"Any second now... two of them are coming our way."

Another half a second passes, then the ground below our feet begins to vibrate and make a rumbling noise.

Then, from seemingly nowhere, two bright white flashes of light come from two separate paths in the rock structure ahead of us.

Abby's aura flashes from green to red as she immediately activates her red hydra's buff.

I erupt into flames, activating every single one of my stat-boosting buffs to get a similar effect. It's not until the two creatures are less than 20 meters away with their silver long swords drawn that I get a good look at them.

They're very humanoid-looking beasts with light red skin that is just a faint shade darker than the rocks and dungeon around us. Standing at roughly my height, but not wearing any clothes or armor. They have no eyes, no mouths, and no distinguishing body features. They're just a pair of arms, legs, and blank faces; carrying long swords. Both are level 630 with two skills, Legendary Grade Swordsmanship and Legendary Grade Extreme Speed.

They don't make a sound and sprint toward us without any warning or emotion in their steps.

As they get even closer, the white aura around them shifts to red, and I witness both of their ranked-up buffs [Crimson Speed] activate, doubling their momentum.

Both Abby and I run forward the instant they emerge from the rock formation and the clash of intense buffs, mana shielding, ranked-up skills, and my own wave of Qi imbued in my blade commences.

I feel my wave disintegrate the faceless monster before me, and feel Abby's Hydra buff do the same to the one she was facing to my side.

However, this doesn't stop the eruption of built-up power that follows. Fire, rock, mana, and blood from our enemies are released, blowing us backward in the blast.
