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

Chapter 494

"Pledge your loyalty, or burn to ash!"

My voice echoes through the desert, using my screech perk to make my entrance known.

Just moments ago, memories of the entire battle flooded into my mind from a body double that was killed in the shockwave following the Lich King's transformation.

Even while traveling over a kilometer above the desert, my dark blood-red soul energy aura melts the desert sand below.

It looks as if an enormous ball of fire is rocketing through the desert and burning everything in its path.

I'm fully armored up, using my ranked-up buff to create the manifestation of my dark black greater form while an even larger layer of Soul Energy surrounds it and manifests an enormous black flaming sword.

My eyes are locked on a wave of orange light that is fractions of a second away from engulfing my teammates and turning them into pawns for the Lich King's army.

My eyes pulse, and my aura grows as the desert turns to a sea of liquid glass below me.

Everything and everyone is engulfed in my Soul Energy's Flames.

I position my trajectory downward to aim my blade at the enormous shadow knight with a [0] on its chest stained in an orange light.

Then, my wave of fire collides with the overwhelming wall of energy that is the [Curse of The Lich King].

The collision makes another devastating shockwave of energy almost equivalent to the collisions of Ember and the Lich King just moments ago.

The orange wall of energy tries to eat away my blood-red flames, but it does not tear them apart with ease like every other roadblock it manages to instantly phase through.

A unique trait of these flames starts to absorb the energy that eats away at it, and just milliseconds after the collision, the massive ball of fire begins dismantling and pushing back the orange cursed energy.

It spreads throughout the impossibly wide and tall wall, like a colony of fire ants attacking its prey and consuming it faster than it can move forward.

My teammates who were moments away from certain doom are consumed by my flames, but the link through my Rising Emperor's Domain treats their mass as a part of my own body and passes through them like a warm breeze.

The thousands of newly awakened Ghouls and Wraiths on the other hand are incinerated and absorbed into the dark red flames.

All of their weapons, broken cores, and charred remains fall into my fire and end up inside my item storage once they're killed.

The swirling orange Soul Energy left behind in the atmosphere does not dissipate, it is eaten up and absorbed by my flames as well.

I swing my blade from a downward position, starting at the ground and up to the sky to release a Soul Energy attack straight at the Dark Guard with a [0] on its chest.

The liquid glass of the desert is parted as my energy slash rips through it, hundreds of kilometers into the earth, tearing through the shadow knight's armor without any resistance at all.

I fly right over its head as it's sliced in two, then incinerated by my flames.

[Level Up] x226

Level-up notifications ring in my ear, alerting me that I've hit level 1785, but this upward slash that took out the Dark Guard wasn't even the main purpose of my attack.

My gaze is still held steady on the Lich King that is wielding an impossibly large scythe, and the instant stat increases from this kill only powers my movements forward even faster.
