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

Chapter 553

Every step I take closer to the light blue tear in space before me sends more high-pressure waves of gravity against my concealment barrier.

It makes me focus more and more of my physical and mental capacity on keeping the limiter stable, drowning everything out in the room.

The chatter of applicants behind me goes completely mute, even the two A-class guards by my sides fade out of my senses, and all I focus on is walking forward.

My foot hits the blue space, and it falls through as if there is nothing there.

My next step follows, and my full body falls through the rift.

Instead of the hard mana-shielded floor, my foot hits rock covered in moss and dirt.

My head comes through, and I take a deep breath of the cool, crisp air, feeling a large gust of wind hit my face.

As I walk further away from the rift, the waves of gravity start to cease, and reality around me hits my senses again.

A loud whistling sound hits my ears, and I turn my head to find myself on a cliff's edge.

Down below me, large white clouds drift by.

Looking off into the distance, even with all of my advanced perception upgrades, looking out into the horizon almost a full 70 km, there is nothing but open air and rolling clouds with a light blue sky backdrop.

To both my left and right, I see the cliff's edge go on further than I can see as well.

I'm on a triangular peninsula of land in the sky, with the bright blue rift at the very tip of it, and the only direction I can travel is further inland.

From the point where I stand, the land stretches outward for a few hundred meters before I see the dirt and moss grow much greener and lush trees, pools of crystal clear water, rock formations, and all kinds of shrubbery grow. Looking even further in the distance, even bright colored fruits grow on some of the trees.

Other than the whistling wind below me, everything is silent.

Some high-sailing clouds in the distance move over the edges of the land, but they clear away and dip back down beneath the cliff as it looks like the morning sun is revealing more and more land the more I internalize everything.

I take more steps forward and begin analyzing the air and my surroundings with my buffs and skills now.

The air is far less dense with mana than any environment I've ever been in. It feels like there's even less than being out in the isolated desert of the Dark Continent.

There are still small particles to absorb here and there, but it isn't enough to sustain me for any long-term battles like dungeons or the simulation rooms I practiced in earlier.

I'll have to use mana crystals and MP potions to re-up my MP bar occasionally.

My aura of enemy detection and all-seeing eye spreads out through the wilderness, making scans of anything moving or made of mana for many kilometers through the trees and clouds, and what I get back as readings is unclear.

There are small pockets of mana that my enemy detection picks up as living organisms, but there is no level nor visuals to support it. I only get rough location readings and relative strength levels based on how much mana control they're putting out.

I'm not too concerned, as the readings I detect have the mana control strength of a barely ranked-up hunter; but in using so many detection perks at once another realization hits me.

My Rising Emperor's Domain is deactivated.

I can't sense any of my links of loyalty at all, nor can I see their geo-locations.
