[CH598+ Continued] Dungeon Diver: Stealing A Monster's Power

Chapter 674

"As I said before, this is just the start of today's fight. The opponent I just defeated is likely to be my easiest win. I'm not going to be able to do this without your help. You can hear me, see my actions, even peer into my system notifications, and feel everything I'm feeling. I'm going to take a moment to rest and rank up; the only thing I ask of you is to spread the word. Whether it's for entertainment while watching the show, or you feel obligated to save this world together, tell a family member, send a transmission to a friend outside of the 8 Great Regions or Dark Continent. We'll need every link we can get."

Then, I press [YES] to rank up. Instantly, a familiar white light washes over me.

Mana and divine energy cycle through my body, creating a warm and satisfying sensation all over.

It takes a few minutes, just as Ember said it would.

My calm resting state is broken by the sound of notifications in my mind.

[+10,000 Strength]

[+10,000 Mental Strength]

[+10,000 Speed]

[+10,000 Agility]

[+10,000 Defense]

[New Buff!] [Divine Elemental's Astral Form]

Once I open my eyes again, all of my fatigue is gone, and even the two divine energy wounds on my chest have almost completely healed.

I take a deep breath in and out while standing to my feet and opening my status to see a brand new buff.

My eyes shift over to Ember and I see he's received a new buff as well.

[Divine Dragon's Astral Form]

My eyebrows raise as my voice echoes through the empty room.

"What's an Astral form...? It looks like we both received one..."

He replies while staring up at the silver demonic statue.

"It's far rarer than a Greater Energy Form. I believe you met one while we were inside that purple construct. Rarely does more than one entity per planet receive a form like this. I've had one before... This room will be too confined to show off its full power, but it will certainly help us during these trials if we run into a problem. It will be very straining to use this while we're yellow cores, it won't be worth the fatigue and strain to even test it out..."

I grin, remembering the green serpent, cyan knights, and enormous Dark Blue Giant that I witnessed within that construct, and think of how strong I'd be with a form like that.

Then, my eyes track back down to the skill section of my status, and I see I have enough [PP] to upgrade a mythic-grade skill to the next rank.

I upgrade [Absorption] without much extra thought, and the [Mythic Grade] tag beside it turns to [Divine Grade].

My eyes skim over the section that shows my ability to now upgrade every single one of my current mythic-grade skills to Divine Grade after killing an entity with the same skill. Even my Superior Grade Elemental Skills can all be upgraded to Supreme Grade if I kill anything sharing that skill, no matter the grade.

Another textbox hovers at the bottom of the skill info, right above the [Upgrade] Option.

[Pair Skill For Additional Perks]

It shimmers in white and yellow divine light, while the rest of my status remains blue.

I press it, and the entire info sheet ripples with yellow threads, spreading throughout my status interface and turning the Absorption skill completely yellow.
