[CH399+ Continued] Dungeon Diver: Stealing A Monster's Power

Chapter 422

"So that's the Void Creeper Lord."

I turn to Ember, and he responds.

"Oh? You actually met it?"

"Meeting it isn't exactly what I'd call that... More like it killed me the second I laid eyes on it."

Ember nods.

"Sounds about right... If you were killed in an instant, you have nothing to worry about."

He turns back to the direction where the rift closed moments ago and continues to speak through our link.

"It's already been too long back in that world for that creature to remember you even existed. I've never been myself, but I assume pests like us jump through the rifts all the time."

I tell Ember the details about what happened, and we both have a good laugh, but also appreciate the perspective of power it just showed me.

Those greed-filled eyes and its overwhelming strength is burned into the back of my mind. Even kilometers away, all my senses were scrambled by its passive aura. The more I think about it, the more I understand there isn't even a point in being scared. The power gap is so large it's impossible to understand. In that world, it has absolute dominance.

Even though it was only for a brief second, through the eyes of my double, I still have a perspective of what is possible. It's clear I only grazed the surface of its capabilities, but power like this is something I one day aspire to achieve.

In this world, there are still many monsters and people far stronger than me. I have to master the power at my fingertips and continue to train by only facing opponents I am certain I can defeat. By taking it one strong enemy at a time, with careful and calculated steps, I can rule like the Lord of that world...

Thinking back further, I recount the image of what my body double saw when it tried to sense me from afar when I re-entered The Great Plains. I really do seem like just a weak unawakened human from the perspective of non-Qi users now.

With a thin smile, I whisper to myself.

"Perfect."

Then, I open up my item storage and let Ember hop inside.

"I have some work to do."

The last 2 months inside the Titan's Domain were even more productive and eye-opening than the first 3.

I managed to almost double my Qi capacity again, gaining an additional 120% by cutting my rest and relaxation time down, while upping the training output to not consider fatigue into account. In doing this, I managed to burn through an additional 1.6 Billion MP in just 2 months.

I upped the ante on using my buffs and elongated my time gathering Qi by combining the two training methods together. Once I became able to conjure physical Qi around my body at a constant rate for long periods of time, circulating it in waves around the outside of my body rather than inside added to my control considerably.

This gave a large surface area for new Qi in the room to gather upon me and also allowed me to multitask gathering, control training, and training my Qi barrier.

I used a Full restore potion around the midway point when my mana fatigue became overwhelming, and it completely washed away 90% of the tiredness. With my growing control, I only needed about 5 hours of sleep every 7 days by the end of it all.

That's a 260% increase in Qi capacity and a 3 billion MP increase in total control since the start of this session.

As I use Dungeon Walker to teleport myself back to the 28th Floor of the Labyrinth, there's a thick flowing white layer of Qi present around every square centimeter of my body. I've gotten used to holding up the highest setting of a barrier, and with my immense control training, it's become an extension of myself.
