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

Chapter 493

Nearby, Monk, Maria, Arie, and Abby come to Ember's aid, and even my double high in the sky helps by opening a telepathy link between them all. However, the only voice heard in it is Ember's voice yelling at everyone.

"Run, now! This battle is about to get serious. You've done your duty. The Dark Guards are defeated, the Dark Army is crippled, and you have given Jay enough time to finally awaken. The Lich King is a monster far out of your league. The stakes of mortals losing to it are far too high, worse than death. I will hold it off alone!"

In a flash of bright red light Ember takes off toward the Lich King again, growing in size and releasing exponentially more Soul Energy by the second.

Black waves of energy come off of the Lich King's body as well, its aura grows in power as it raises its Scythe high above its head again, channeling darkness into its blade while placing its other bony hand on the desert floor that is covered in its shadow magic.

Then, its eyes pulse from orange to jet black for a fraction of a second, and another figure emerges from the mysterious abyss below the Lich King.

A figure that looks exactly like an oversized Dark Guard emerges.

However, it looks like it is made of the Black Energy that it was born from. There are rippling dark energy swirls all around it, and as it walks forward, it looks just like a walking shadow.

My body double catches a glimpse of the shadow soldier's status, and it reads [Lv. 3002].

An enormous glowing orange [0] is visible on its chest, and the Knight walks forward out from the shadows while holding a bright orange gem the size of its head. Then, starts to speed up its footsteps, turning its strides into a run.

It looks just like the gems that were used to turn the people in the surrounding towns into ghouls with the power of the [Curse of the Lich King].

Ember sees this, and mid-transformation, aims his next attack directly at this newly formed creature.

There's another shockwave that vibrates through the entire desert.

It isn't from Ember's collision with the shadow knight, it is his growing red blades that are stopped by the silver scythe of the Lich King right before he can stop it.

Ember's wings grow larger, and the black scale and draconic features that only covered parts of his body before begin to expand.

His red aura pulses more and more, pumping Soul Energy into his true form as he flies back around to attempt letting out a wave of red Soul Energy flames down at the shadow knight.

There's another explosion of power as a Dark Energy slash comes out from the Lich King's Scythe from a distance to cancel out Ember's flames. The shadow knight continues its increasingly fast paced march forward into the hordes of Ghouls, and in the direction of the Elites of the Flame Emperor's army that Fisher and Lydia lead away to safety.

The black energy that grows around the Lich King is expanding at the same rate as the red energy around Ember.

The dragon expands to nearly match the Lich King in size.

From nose to tail, he's over 40 meters long.

His eyes burn bright crimson in color, and flames erupt all over his body as he expands his red Soul Energy Aura outward to release his full power.

A crater of molten rock and sand is instantly formed beneath him, and in the same moment the Lich King lets its black aura clash with Ember's, raising its Scythe above its head again, and letting it pulse with dark energy.

The shadowy circle below it expands while Ember lets a tsunami of Soul Energy Flames down on the Lich King.

The entire ground that is covered in darkness erupts upward, making a cylinder of Dark Energy shoot up toward the sky to meet the violent wave of fire that rains down on it.
