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

Chapter 580

They all begin training in the Labyrinth under close supervision. No one other than close allies and members of the Crimson Army are permitted to enter the Labyrinth, and a body double must be present at all times.

While none of them can increase the MCP at rapid rates without my absorption skill, they do have enough prior training and power to face off against some of these high-level monsters. No creatures in the labyrinth have soul energy or Qi; they're just plain mana manifestations.

By the end of the third week of my leave to go to the exams, everyone in the army has trained up to levels 1300-1500 and have become even more formidable warriors.

I catch a few glimpses of Fisher, Lydia, Abby, and Maria all training in the Labyrinth as well every time I come back to check on the town; however, I don't see exactly how much they've progressed just yet in their long months of Qi training. This is because this body double has been out on a very specific alternate mission for a bulk of the memories I receive in the following weeks.

It heads off, deep into Sector 3 where the dungeon break happened when I made my initial dealings with the head farmer.

Using this point of access, my double spreads out to locate every single dungeon in the entire sector, looking for new skills and unique monsters to gain powers from.

There are a few found here, but the bulk of the 10 new mythic-grade skills come from my next week of explorations in the Talton Region's jungle.

Thanks to the leader graciously allowing me to see one of their dungeons, I have an access point to their region and use stealth to explore their entire dungeon network out there as well.

There is one final bit of good news that my double witnesses once I make it back to the Crimson City again after this mission.

I do my weekly check-in on Lith and Monk in Valor City.

Over the last three weeks, they have begun their methods of Qi rejuvenation on all of the past Valor City Arena fighters that were inflicted by the curse of the Lich King.

Just like Monk's master, every single one of them starts to have small bursts of energy throughout the day that increase in length after every session.

With my main body's leave from the city, the extra Qi pills that I was using to build the Soul Energy barrier around the Crimson City are all put to great use; many of the fighters are able to get out of their beds and walk about like normal for almost an hour a day now.

Even if they're all full of energy now, their status screens are still completely wiped clean.

My main body is the only one capable of extracting skill orbs because it is a function of mixing my mythic-grade absorption perk with soul energy.

The plan is to give them the option of joining the Crimson Army once they're healed, and offer them elemental skills once they're ready.

However, long-term exposure to large quantities of Qi during their treatments administered by Monk has awakened their pathways to use this energy as well.

Many of the fighters practice cultivating and channeling their Qi in their limited time while they're awake. These are elite fighters from all over the Dark Continent after all; it's not like they're going to give up their aspirations to become strong warriors just because of a single defeat like this.

At this point, as my double makes it back to the Crimson City to take another week-long shift of surveillance after a successful mission of skill farming this past week; I come back to see a sight I wasn't exactly expecting.

I watch through the memories of my double as it walks out from the bunker below the guildhall, greeting all of the new staff working to buy, sell, and keep track of resources farmed from the canyon of dungeons.
