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

Chapter 678

The scale disappears once it looks as though it's been absorbed entirely, and all of the white light around Ember dissipates as well. I can't even tell if anything has changed, other than the pleasant expression on his face now and his apparent lack of fatigue.

As he begins reverting back to his full human form, I notice a slight golden shimmer beneath some of Ember's scales, like their true color is peeking through for the first time.

However, a headache pulls my vision away before I can observe any further, and I do as Ember instructed and drop the Low-quality Divine Ether pill into my mouth.

It dissolves instantly, and tastes sweet like candy.

The white glow spreads throughout my body quickly, feeling similar to when Abby uses her Restoration skill, but with a strange divine twist to it. It feels as though I'm just being healed back up to full health, but at the same time, an innate potential deep inside feels like it's being brought up to the surface, where I would usually have to dig far deeper to grasp.

Just as soon as the warm feeling washes completely over me, it leaves just as fast, and the white glow completely disappears with the two black boxes with it.

All of my fatigue, ringing in my ears, and even the pins and needles all over my body have completely left me. Yet, I don't feel especially refreshed; I just feel normal...

Two lines of text hover in front of my eyes, the first in yellow, and I feel my Soul Sword vibrate in my hands as the system text rings in my inner ear.

[The Divine Emperor's Soul Sword Evolution Attribute has reached Lv. 1!]

The second is in shimmering silver, above the arching doorway, in the ancient tower's voice that rings in my mind with even more clarity than ever before.

[Proceed to Trial 2: Mind]

Around the outside of the tower, the surges of links of loyalty surpassing 30 million increase the general's stats by an immense degree.

It is much needed, as two new high-level yellow-cored generals come rocketing toward the crimson army from their rear. The only forces waiting strong enough to stop them are The Saint in his large white pure Qi-infused Greater Form, and Arie now releasing one of his poisoned arrows toward one of them as they approach.

However, the greatest boost is noticed in Abby and Maria, as a fuming mad bronze-horned Demon with a True Core burning in its chest collides with both of them at extreme speeds.

One of its shimmering bronze daggers phases right through Abby's Immortal Form, while the other is stopped by a massive blue Soul Energy Sword.

There are two massive eruptions of energy that ripple through the desert, the first being the nearly equal exchange of the Demon's dagger and Maria's energy blades, while the second is Abby flying around to the demon's back and stabbing through its armor with two daggers of her own.

All three parties involved in the exchange are blown backward, and two gashes are visible on the Demon's side, but both the black obsidian-colored armor and the Demon's flesh become covered in purple Demonic Soul Energy and heal back to perfect condition almost instantly.

No one wastes any time getting back into the clash, but the Demon is now wary that Abby is hard to hit, and the Ice Goddess can match his overwhelming physical strength even with Demonic Soul Energy imbued in his strikes.

Even though this Demon is at the lower tier range of a True Core's size, its seven-meter-tall natural stature and Demonic Strength are similar to a middle-level true core human, surpassing that of almost all order members other than the big three.
