“Pledge your loyalty, or burn to ash!”

My voice echoes through the desert, using my screech perk to make my entrance known.

Just moments ago, memories of the entire battle flooded into my mind from a body double that was killed in the shockwave following the Lich King’s transfor...

Dungeon Diver CH493

A deep voice echoes back to Ember’s challenge as the desert ground behind the marching Ghouls turns pitch black.

“It seems I haven’t hidden myself enough to get past the eyes of a fellow Divine Beast.”

An enormous black shadow has been cast across the sand, and it begins to ri...

Dungeon Diver CH492

Just over 200km away, back underneath the town, the dark red energy that seeps out from the final isolation pod begins to flow out at a much faster rate.

It is equal parts Qi and Mana, and they are so finely intertwined, they have almost become Soul Energy, but there is still a vital cataly...

Dungeon Diver CH491

The massive arachnid monster falls into the ravine with its two severed limbs by its side.

Both Abby and Arie follow it downward with their weapons poised to kill.

The tendrils of purple Soul Energy still violently pierce through Abby’s vital points, but they phase through her heart...

Dungeon Diver CH490

The Dark Guard shreds the rest of its armor, revealing a dark grey-skinned man standing over 3 meters tall with considerable muscle mass, staring across the battlefield with four green eyes, each labeled with an orange glowing number [1].

Even underneath the black armor, this monster wears ...

Dungeon Diver CH489

On the battlefield, the loud cracks and shockwaves of Qi and Soul energy between Monk and his old master echo throughout the sky.

Their rate of contact and intensity keeps rising, and they begin to land proper hits on each other too; it's not just blocking and equal force counter moves anym...

Dungeon Diver CH488

Monk and the Dark Guard that looks like an old man in white robes are the first to confront each other in the air above the mountains to our left side.

I can see the blue text hovering above the man's head in my inspect skill reading [Lv. 1602].

White energy seeps out from Monk's body...

Dungeon Diver CH487

Just 20 minutes pass before we all agree on the plan of action, and begin floating over to the housing where the 37 members of the Flame Emperor's army are all waking up to get ready for another day of training.

They're all greeted by a telepathy message directed into their heads.

"To...

Dungeon Diver CH486

The dead of night hits and we check on the Isolation pods while Luna stares out into the desert.

My teammates' pods say less than 4 hours remain, while my own pod is at just under 16.

The tension from the uneventful day is eating away at the back of everyone’s minds. However, once w...

Dungeon Diver CH485

The words that escape her lips aren't exactly what I expected.

Ember did mention she’d be able to see his true form, but I assumed he meant in the heart of battle. Or that she’d be able to perceive that he is a soul energy user too.

I wasn’t expecting her to see through his disg...

Dungeon Diver CH484

Hours pass.

I have my body double periodically dungeon walk back to the town to check on the energy readings to see if Maria has woken up from her rank-up process, but no signs of her completing it have come back.

Meanwhile, my method of sharing mana control with these recruits to boo...

Dungeon Diver CH483

Maria's level rises by 71, bringing her to level 1065 in an instant.

By the way she’s looking at her status, it's clear there is a rank-up notification in front of her waiting to be accepted.

However, she recalls my description of the others' rank-up process that I told her about on...

Dungeon Diver CH482

My inspect skill picks up a reading as the black armor of the 5th Ranked Dark Guard falls away.

[Lv. 1572]

Its status is just like every other one of them, with no skills or items, but a [Curse of The Lich King] branded in orange lettering on its Buffs section.

The immense amoun...

Dungeon Diver CH481

I expand the range of my all-seeing eye and enemy detection once I hear Luna shouting. My range reaches out as far as the town nearly 10 km away on one side, but I can’t sense anything in the opposite direction.

On full blast, I can feel the readings of rogue dungeons up to 50-70 km away ...

Dungeon Diver CH480

Long flowing blond hair and sharp royal blue eyes emerge from the white wave of Qi flooding out from inside the isolation pod as the door fully opens.

Maria steps forward and everyone is left in silence as we witness a pure outline of bright white Qi, twisting and swirling around her body.<...

Dungeon Diver CH479

After the first 4 hours pass, everyone matches the same level as the strongest boss that can possibly spawn, level 997.

Just about 500 million MCP is gained by each of them fighting. Luna does not have the combat ability to kill a minotaur, but she comes along for the ride and gets power-le...

Dungeon Diver CH478

I enter the middle room with Abby and open the hatch to the underground bunker with a single click.

A wave of visible dense Qi flows out, and I feel my body naturally absorb it once it hits my skin.

We both begin walking into the bunker down the spiral stairs, and I close the door abo...

Dungeon Diver CH477

As the sun fully sets, I go to the canyon of dungeons and teleport back to the labyrinth to update Ember and my double on the news.

Afterward, one of my doubles that was farming the labyrinth takes the post of surveillance on the town while Ember and my final double continue their dungeon c...

Dungeon Diver CH476

The group below me begins to shift and talk amongst themselves.

A few speak up and ask specific questions about things from general city growth in the future, to the reason why I’m fighting Sector 1, and finally how I’ll be able to train them and grant them power if they wish.

One...

Dungeon Diver CH475

I airstep upward to appraise the silver diamond spear tip falling through the air before opening a spatial magic portal to let it fall into my item storage.

[Metal Fragment of Infinite Regeneration][+338% Strength][+290% Mental Strength][+277% Defense][Hidden Ability]

In the same upwa...

Dungeon Diver CH474

The orange soul energy spreads from its eyes to surround its entire body.

Its three horns atop its head grow larger and begin to turn into a shimmering orange metallic color.

The creature's eyes look sharper, and I can tell that it is now operating on a whole new level that just fract...

Dungeon Diver CH473

The silver-coated creature stares at me, completely unharmed after taking a point blank hit from my most powerful attack.

I’m positive I just blew apart and incinerated over 70% of its body, but in mere seconds it managed to completely regenerate despite me destroying all of its organs an...

Dungeon Diver CH472

“Let me handle this… Dumb bird…” is the only thing I hear as the same silver arm that blocked my attack punches the brown bird in the underbelly.

Its wind magic attacks all disappear in an instant, and it goes flying high into the air without even having to flap its wings. It isn’...

Dungeon Diver CH471

The man doesn't get a chance to reply as I airstep toward the center of the city, activating my stealth skill and expanding my All-seeing Eye to find the closest dungeon to my location right now.

At my current speed, I’ll get to the main hub in less than a few minutes, but the underground...

Dungeon Diver CH470

Abby replies.

“Of course. Good luck.”

I walk out the door again, but this time, I use extreme speed and wind magic to quickly fly through the desert back to the canyon.

Once I set foot in a dungeon, I teleport to the dungeon hub in Vice City.

I change my face and appea...

Dungeon Diver CH469

I try not to laugh, scanning his status to see he's level 219 and has one of those rare team buff skills that increases everyone's strength stat by 25% in a small radius for a limited amount of time.

It's a great skill to have for helping newbies learn to fight, and beneficial to hunting sq...

Dungeon Diver CH467

She takes a step closer to the glass window of the octagonal reception center and continues to speak in the same tone.

“First of all… I thank you for saving me and everyone else that was captured by these horrible men. However, my eyes are sharper than anyone here. I’m not agreeing to...

Dungeon Diver CH466

I take a few minutes to explain to Maria how I believe the gathering process in the pod will go. I give her some technique advice on long-term cultivation training. Isolation pods are a little bit different than my time in the Titans' domain, though.

They make the user slip into a calming a...

Dungeon Diver CH465

After clearing the boss room 18 times over the next 45 minutes, everyone in the group reaches level 994. We could most likely push everyone up to 997 if we farmed here for a few more hours, considering the Minotaur Boss consistently appears at level 993 to 997. However, the minuscule gains aren't...
