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

Chapter 413

She rolls her eyes and snaps back with her own joking remark.

"Yeah right, I doubt you could have laid a finger on me even if you found me sleeping back then."

We both chuckle, but stare back at the growing dust cloud as I explain how it was really triggered.

"I managed to get a crafting skill of my own in the Dark Continent and mixed two of the wrong ingredients together to create this... Or depending how you look at it, maybe two of the right ones. It's a long story, one I can tell you after we witness this creations full power and get out of here."

The corner of my lip curls upward as the swirling dome of sand expands even further and the wind starts to pick up even 200 meters away from the eye of the storm. The deep low-toned buzzing gets louder and louder too, expanding throughout the entirety of the dungeon. I feel a small percent of my MP get drained with every gust.

In just about 60 seconds, the diameter of the cursed element stone's pull has increased over 10 times, and the gaping hole in the dungeon floor has become over 40 meters wide and deep.

Bri responds.

"I think we should get back... Or possibly leave this dungeon for good."

She reaches for my hand and I grab on to teleport us backward again another few hundred meters.

The entire dungeon shudders as we do and the dome of destruction grows larger at a faster and faster rate. Massive hills of desert sand and rock formations begin to fall away into the growing mass of violent wind.

Just 30 seconds after, the stone has created a 100-meter deep hole in the desert floor, making a dome over twice that in diameter, and its mana draining winds reach us even half a kilometer away.

Sand golems are being sucked into the enormous wind-powered black hole, and everything made of mana does too. My rings, necklaces, and even the direction of my fluttering cloak have a slight pull toward the center of the mass. Trace amounts of mana are sucked from both mine and Bri's bodies.

However, the interesting part is we're not being pulled in ourselves, only mana. While the environment around us is getting sucked in and even the helpless dungeon mobs, our flesh bodies are not affected by the pull at all.

This doesn't mean I want to find out what would happen if we get any closer, but it is an interesting phenomenon.

I dungeon walk both of us backward again, over a kilometer away to find ourselves at the dungeon exit portal.

Far off in the distance, the dome of sand and energy continues to grow. Even here, the buzzing mana and MP draining winds reach us slightly. It's been just under 2 minutes since the stone was dropped, and it's already done this much damage.

The entire dungeon shudders again and the blue spinning portal near us shifts to a crimson tint. A grin crosses my face as I speak up.

"Let's let the guards report the break, then get them out of here before they get themselves killed."

Both Bri and I activate our light magic and stealth skills, then walk out of the red glowing portal back to the outside world.

The higher level guard with a fire magic skill awakened is staring straight in our direction, but can only see the spinning red mana glow as his partner speaks through a silver transmission tablet.

"Hello? Hello? Is anyone there? I'd like to report unusual activity at the Green Ridge Lookout Dungeon. The portal has turned from blue to red, this is a break. I repeat. The portal has turned from blue to red, this is a break."
