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

Chapter 522

It may create a greater shell than body hardening does, but the downside is that the caster cannot move their body out of this cocoon while activating it. A neat addition to my status, but not one I'll likely be using much in the future.

I stand over the final boss's corpse and watch it dissolve away with the dungeon, and I'm transported back to the open field.

The dungeon disappears, and I activate my All-Seeing Eye to attempt catching any luminite fragments or special drops that might occur after clearing a dungeon like this, but nothing happens.

I was expecting for something to happen, and am slightly confused when nothing does. I can't figure out where the luminite that was powering this dungeon's transport magic has even gone, but decide not to dwell on the idea for too long.

The excess mana just evaporates into the air, and the 5-meter-long insects that were terrorizing the land fade away with the dungeon, ceasing to exist.

I jump into the sky and begin my return trip, but given that I have a few minutes to spare on the way back, I stop by a few E and D-grade dungeons near villages and set dungeon walker points just in case I want to return back here in the future without having to fly across an entire continent.

Once the red barn comes within range, I drift down with a smile on my face beneath the black helmet. Then, once my feet hit the ground, I speak to the surprised man with my static disguised voice.

"The break is cleared. You have nothing to worry about anymore. I assure you, I will have men sent here to survey the area whenever there are any more surges and have breaks cleared before you even know they've happened. I look forward to doing business with you in the future."

I turn to Lith next.

"Now, we have business to attend to in the Bedrock Region, don't we?"

He chuckles to himself and pulls the labeled transport crystal from his item box.

"Indeed we do."

As I crush the crystal, Carson waves goodbye with a puzzled but very relieved and happy look on his face.

"T-Thanks. See you next month! Mr. Sector 2 Leader, Sir."

Once the bright flash of transport magic fades, the three of us are left in a dark dome-shaped room.

The center of the floor is a white transport platform, but outside it, it's all made of grey stone.

A light turns on at the back of the room, and a large man in +100-200% defensive armor stacked head to toe filling all 12 item slots on his status walks forward with 3 guards on both sides of him also wearing the same caliber of gear and they're all between level 400 and 600.

The man in the center of them is level 902, standing over 2 meters tall, with enough muscle mass to double or possibly even triple my own. Despite his large stature, my eyes stay locked on his five skills that appear when I use appraisal.

Body Hardening [Legendary Grade]

Extreme Strength [Legendary Grade]

Extreme Speed [Special Grade]

Swordsmanship [Special Grade]

Appraisal [Special Grade]

I've seen a status like this before. Brutus, the leader of the Vice Region, had very common skills artificially stacked on his status, and the gear matches his too."

His mana control is pretty strong as well, nearly matching a level 700-800 monster in the labyrinth, so this man is not power-leveled. This power was earned. He is just very reliant on his gear and skills while most likely being a very smart and tactical fighter.

I would even assume that this is just one of the top elites in this region coming to pick up the ordered goods, but the glowing golden ring on his finger that slowly leaks Soul Energy that matches the Sun God's makes me positive that this is the Regional Director I'm looking at right now.

His strong and demanding voice echoes through the dimly-lit dome-shaped room.

"It is wonderful to see some new faces in the bulk item trade industry. Let me see the quality of goods you've promised, then I'll decide if they're worth the prices I'm about to pay. I, Regional Director Maylack, welcome you three to the Bedrock Region."
