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

Chapter 576

The moment I stop and put my sword away, the appearance of me being unawakened and powerless comes back.

I try the same exact thing for my mana control aura output, as well as soul energy and raw Qi as well.

I'm extremely glad I trained with Ember for days before coming to this exam to learn what certain mana control levels feel like, because the purple-cored limiter I'm wearing acts in a similar fashion.

Whatever skills or powers I actively am showing during an active attack are shown in their full glory. However, when I'm standing at rest, the artifact acts as a cloaking device almost. An invisible veil that suppresses all energy coming off of it to the eyes of an outsider.

It takes me almost a full minute to get the hang of things before I see Nat, Dane, and Marcie all flying my way after hearing my message.

The air magic user and spear-wielding tank look and carry themselves almost exactly the same as I left them before.

Both of their mana controls have far surpassed a billion, making them at the peak of the B-Class hunters. At the rate they've been farming these past few weeks, each of them should have hundreds of red fragments.

They're completely clean of divine energy, as it's clear Nat has been healing them and taking the threads that invade their bodies.

Coming up the rear in their flight path, I see the white-haired healer covered in a bright red aura of threads from cleansing them after their last kill.

She activates her healing magic, drinks a regeneration potion, then uses her daggers to channel the excess energy and eject it with a few flaming crescents into the sky.

All three of them drift down to meet me on the shore with a whole new aura of confidence about them.

I speak up once they hit the ground.

"To sum things up, I made it to the top and claimed this construct's ultimate prize. It's about to collapse in on itself, and I think it's best we don't wait for that to happen."

All of their eyes open wide while I look up at the sky, then back down at them.

"So, it's time to wrap things up. I don't know if we have seconds, minutes, or hours left; but it's best not to leave things to chance."

I turn to the ocean, thinking about the black orbs that fell from the islands in the sky days ago when the green serpent destroyed the floating obsidian forests.

Nat speaks up to break my train of thought.

"What about you? Are you coming with us? -And where's Emrie?"

I nod, but still look out into the ocean.

"Yeah- I'll be following right after you. Emrie... is on his way too. I just need to check one last thing."

Marcie nods.

"Very well, don't have to tell me twice."

Then, takes a crystal out from her item storage.

Dane does the same, nodding with a smile and letting the teleport crystal hover above his hand with wind magic.

"We've farmed more than enough to win this thing. We already wiped out our only competition."

I smile, then turn to the teleport platform about 50 meters away and point a hand toward it.

"Good."

Without warning, I let a fireball out from my palm wrapped in yellow threads of divine energy and it obliterates every bit of evidence I created one in the first place, leaving a round crater in its place.
