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

Chapter 574

The shimmering gold and silver light grows larger from Ember's chest and begins to cover his entire body.

There is a pulse of light that completely envelops him and spreads out like a shockwave around us.

In the moment, Ember's dragon form looks like it is made of pure, indescribably bright, and powerful divine energy.

Even looking at it through a screen that is replaying the events, something deep in the back of my mind tells me these shimmering threads are somehow at a level that far exceeds even the purple energy that has created this entire construct.

Once the threads hit their maximum luminosity, they begin to contract back. I watch all of the threads vibrate and consolidate near Ember's neck, getting brighter and brighter until they compact into a single point within his mouth.

His black glossy scales are completely void of divine energy the moment he lets out the small ball of energy from his mouth, and it's propelled forward to create a fantastic shimmering beam of light that cuts through the green threads like they're floating dust particles and a high-powered air jet is shooting through it.

The gold and silver pillar of light bursts through the aura, disintegrating everything in its path, clearing out a tunnel in the sky for me to follow.

Immediately after the beam is shot out, Ember reverts to his human form, and I jump upward to catch him in my storage.

The next images of me letting out my own attack at the green serpent are not shown on the screen; however, they aren't necessary; I vividly remember it doing no damage at all...

Instead, the video follows the golden and silver beam upward through the green layer in the sky.

It phases through the tip of the serpent's nose and doesn't slow down at all.

It appears as if the beam is even traveling faster the higher into the air it climbs.

In a matter of seconds, the shimmering energy pierces into the cyan-colored layer of sky, then breaks into the dark blue sky just as quickly.

The next image that appears before me is the ethereal beam colliding with a slowly spinning dark purple gem at the top of the construct.

The gem is the same size as the one I'm nearby now, but it looks dull and almost black in color. The purple threads that slowly stream off it are not moving at the rate I'm witnessing them move now.

It collides with the purple crystal, makes it pulse with golden and silver light, then disappears into the air like nothing was ever there.

The moment it disappears, the crystal pulses with a purple glow that almost fills the entire screen with its luminosity, erupting with purple threads for a full minute straight before calming down.

Afterward, once the light clears, it shows its bright purple glow just like how I see it now; vibrant and full of energy.

Then, the purple energy being beside me cuts the video off right there, retracting her dome of threads around me, but continues to slowly walk near me with a featureless face.

Her mouth forms, and she talks again.

"So now you know why I've brought you here. A human Soul Bonded with a Divine Beast, and on top of that, one that is notorious in our history."

Her mouth smiles, then disappears, and I feel the same emotional aura of excitement being pushed out from her as her graceful walk around the glass-like platform continues.

I reply.

"What do you mean our history?"

Her earlier words from when I first made contact with the purple gem replay in my mind and I speak up again with another question before she can even reply.
