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

Chapter 496

I give him cooking supplies, high-end drinks, and miscellaneous gear and supplies to throw a celebration for the Army volunteers once they've finished washing up and resting.

Many of my teammates want to do exactly the same thing. Arie meets back up with Luna. Monk helps his master find a room with a comfortable bed and good food to rest. Lydia and Fisher decompress on their own and socialize with the army recruits, rehashing moments of battle together.

Then, Abby, Maria, Ember, and I all go back to the guildhall in the center of the city.

Instead of going inside, we all float up onto the roof and overlook the town as word of what happened today slowly spreads amongst the villagers by word of mouth.

None of us speak a word to each other, we just enjoy the view as people live their lives and the sun slowly moves over the horizon.

Soon, Arie and Luna meet us up on top of the roof as well.

Then, Monk, Lydia, and Fisher all make their way here too.

I share my craftsmanship skill with everyone, and we even sift through all of the B Grade Materials down in the bunker to find more gear to maximize their crafting possibilities. Everyone gets major upgrades.

Fisher and Lydia both make many concealment cloaks similar to mine by merging the Wraiths' cores and imbuing my conceal skill. They hand them out to everyone here on the roof. Ember and Monk are the only one's that prefer not to take the gift. The other's that do will now be able to alter their appearance to whatever they can imagine even when I'm not sharing my concealment skill with them.

Arie and Abby make pendants and rings out of the purple spider eyes.

Maria uses the core of the 5th Ranked Dark Guard to create a set of blood-bonded armor with over 350% Defense buffs and high magic resistance to all of the elements. Then, she merges all of the large fragments of the 1st ranked dark guard's sword to create a brand-new blood-bonded sword with over 500% Strength enhancements. She doesn't imbue the sword with any skills or weaker element stones, hoping that she'll get to fight a strong ice monster in the future for its element stone.

While they do this, I make my own new weapon in the same fashion that Maria did, but I have both the weapons base material, as well as the element I want to imbue.

The potential of the craft I'm attempting here excites me.

I take all of the broken pieces of the Lich King's Scythe and stack them on top of each other, using telekinesis to keep them floating in the air. The only reason this blade broke was because the Lich King sacrificed it to pull it from Ember's grasp. Before its base was shattered by its dark portals and structural integrity began to fall apart, this blade withstood attacks directly from my fully powered Soul Energy attacks.

Its fragments all read [Lich King's Scythe] [+519% Strength][+444% Mental Strength][Hidden Ability].

It still vibrates and longs to be imbued with Dark Magic again.

So much so, that when I take the Lich King's Dark Skull from my inventory, the Dark Element Stone that has merged itself inside this creature's remains still tries to seep its way back into the floating pile of shattered blade.

I activate my newest skill, Superior Dark summoning, and allow black tendrils of energy seep from my hands to meld with the energies that loom around, even imbuing Soul Energy into this magic to increase its strength and simulate the kind of magic I'd use during battle.

It creeps into the fragments of the blade, and mixes with the pure Dark Elemental energy coming out of the skull.

I cut open my wrist to allow far more blood than necessary to pour out, soaking the blades and regenerating my blood to create a foolproof secure bond. I remember Bri saying the more blood the crafter uses, the more control over the blood bonded craft the wielder will have.
