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

Chapter 508

I start by clearing out the rest of floor 39, dungeon walking from monster to monster to drain their MCP, and opening up spatial magic portals to store their corpses in my storage.

Instead of leaving their bodies to dissolve in random places throughout the floor, having to wait up to a full minute for some, I see it as more time-efficient to keep their corpses on me and have them all dissolve together after I'm done with farming for the day.

I clear out every floor from 38-30 next with fast strikes, dungeon walking to every new monster and killing them before they even know I've arrived. A few hundred million MP worth of mana control is absorbed, and over a thousand monsters' bodies are stored in my storage before coming back up to floor 39 to catch the one mutant minotaur that respawns right on schedule.

I repeat this routine for a few hours, piling up corpses in my storage, collecting over a billion MCP total, and holding seven near A-Grade fire stones in my item storage before I decide to change things up.

I let the massive pile of corpses dissolve before me on the 39th floor, collecting close to a million MP worth of pink mana crystals and over a thousand high B-grade crafting materials.

Then, I let them all fall into my storage while activating my Soul Energy, letting a visible red aura leak out from my core, the same output as the aura I was using while fighting Rodrigo at his maximum strength in his ranked-up form.

I pull out my Flame Emperor's Sword because the dark blade I tested earlier seems to still be very unpredictable and hard to control.

I whisper under my breath while dungeon walking up two floors. "This should be enough to fend off whatever is on the 41st floor, it'll be a good change of pace instead of just farming the lower ones all night..."

The last few times I attempted fighting the monster on this floor, I never even managed to get a look at it.

Its status never even showed up in my mind's eye.

The only thing I know about this floor is that it is a dark cave system with a fast-moving monster that uses slashing attacks and conceals its presence very well.

The instant I teleport into the darkness, I hear the sound of humming energy and barely audible fast-moving steps on the rocky ground approaching.

In less than a tenth of a second, a sharp blade-like surface comes rocketing toward my midsection.

I smile as the dark green bug-like claw collides with my Soul Energy shielding and bursts into an eruption of energy.

There's an angry hiss that echoes through the cave and I see the shadowy outline of a four-meter-tall mantis creature circling me in the dark, ducking in and out of crevices in the cave while eyeing me down and waiting to send off its next attack.

My inspect and appraisal skills finally pick up on a few of this monster's readings.

"A mythic grade stealth skill, huh...? Just like mine."

My eyes lock onto the barely visible golden collar around its neck, being partially blocked out by its stealth skill.
