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

"I sense a Celestial Grade Physique... Seraphel... is that you...?"

The voice is low and slow, echoing in the back of Abby's mind.

It feels distant, as if it is speaking into a void, unable to see or feel anything, but sensing a disturbance, so it reaches out.

The entire black skeleton is flowing with the green soul energy that Abby sends through it, and a pillar of light the width of her restoration circle erupts into the sky, parting the demonic clouds.

Maintaining the connection itself is putting an absurd amount of mental strain on the healer who, moments ago, believed this planet full of weak mortal creatures was far beneath her.

Now, she's shocked at the energy readings coming off this corpse and replies through the telepathy link back into the void that called out to her, speaking strange words.

"No... I'm not who you're waiting for. I'm a human."

She remembers looking back in the databases in the moon base, along with the briefings from Bri and Alveron. The name Seraphel came up in the tombs of their ancient writings, so the connection there is clear.

However, the mention of a Celestial Grade Physique means nothing to her. After a few seconds of no response, she pours even more of her pure soul energy into the bones, making them glow bright white and green.

With this rush of energy, another low and slow voice echoes again, this time feeling even further away.

"We failed... and it has been long enough for the humans to rise... but that means the Demons have not yet sealed the Upper Realm."

Abby's eyes widen even more as a wave of fatigue from expending so much energy washes through her; she accidentally exposes herself to the brutal waves of Noble Vibrations that have become even more amplified, emanating from this skeleton.

It makes her focus even more while replying back, placing a full palm on the glowing green nose of the Wyvern corpse.

It feels as though she's replying to an echo of what used to be a mind. It's listening, but there isn't a living being there. She's only restored the will and memories of what used to be.

A cold feeling creeps into her palm, even though her energy form is fully activated, making it harder and harder to continue channeling energy into these bones.

"That's right. We can still ascend to the Upper Realm. But no... the humans have not exactly risen. My strength is an exception among the masses. There are only a few that can fight off the demonic forces, like the ones that took over this world."

An echo comes back.

"You've reclaimed Kelfar? A human... Indeed, an exception you must be..."

The voice drifts further away in Abby's mind, and the cold aura creeps up her arm as the Vibrations from the bones intensify and her fatigue worsens.

The entire skeleton is glowing bright green now, as its bones are completely saturated with Abby's restoration Soul Energy.

The cold becomes so intense that it begins to streak through Abby's body. However, in turn, she starts to feel emotions and visions surfacing from the abyss in her mind, connected to this dead being.

Sorrow, hope, and hatred mix together in a blend of chaos as visions of a massive battle on this world resurface.

Abby watches thousands of Wyverns flying through the sky in a lush green world filled with lakes, mountains, and endless colorful forests.

The Wyverns are blue, red, white, and brown, all following their leaders, heading toward an ominous black tower that has appeared on their world.

Glimpses of thousands of Demons with dense yellow true cores descending onto this world flash in Abby's mind, and a war that lasts years flies by in seconds within her consciousness.
