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

Chapter 607

I turn my head in the direction of the odd presence that pressures the back of my mind, but I don't activate my full perception skills and buffs because I'm too close to my teammates and the Crimson City to risk letting out that much power.

Instead, I calmly look back toward Abby, who posed the question, and nod.

"You're right. We'll have to prepare for that possibility if it comes."

My head turns back toward the south, and a notification hits my inner ear.

[Skill Transfer To Main Body: Complete]

[Echo][Mythic Grade]

I raise an eyebrow at the fact that I just received a new skill out of nowhere, but then more notifications hit my inner ear seconds later.

They're all small MCP transfer notifications for just a few thousand MCP at a time.

I pull up the new skill description and find that it is similar to a mix between my body double skill and the Sun God's buff, Master of Illusion.

I'm able to create a lifelike image of myself that acts like a body double; however, it is nothing but an illusion. It cannot physically interact with the world around it, but it has far greater range than the [Master of Illusion] buff or my light magic.

I can't think of a good use for this skill right now, but a grin comes onto my face as these notifications tell me my body double has begun climbing the labyrinth in the Apex Region.

I levitate into the air while speaking up to the four teammates bending the sand with orange threads for hundreds of meters in all directions.

"We have unknown visitors from the south... but don't worry, I'll handle it. Continue your training; we might need to use this new power sooner than I thought."

Then, I fly away, headed south while small MCP gain notifications ring in my head repeatedly.

The sand below me zips by as I gain altitude and I focus on the vague pressure pulsing in the back of my perception.

No readings show up in my status or skills, but the heavy gravity in the back of my mind keeps getting closer. The eerie feeling that two beings with immense power are coming my way won't shake from my psyche.

I finally get a few dozen kilometers away from my teammates, high in the air, far enough that I'm comfortable letting more of my aura leak out from my purple limiter, and even activate my greater form to improve the range of my perception to get a better view of what exactly is coming my way at such incredible speed.

As the wisps of divine energy flow out of my True Core and tether to my buff to create a bright yellow greater form of me as I fly through the air, a ripple of divine perception soars out to the south, and I see the volcanic region that I vaguely felt before in so much more detail.

With my level rising by over 1000 after defeating the Director, and the steep climb in Divine Threads in my core after consuming every last drop of his power that he cultivated over the decades, I'm able to feel the difference in power even from just this morning when I awakened my True Core.

An endless landscape of black mountains, flowing lava, erupting volcanoes, and thousands of dungeons are scattered around the land.

In this pulse of surveillance, I watch as there are dozens of dungeons breaking, and the air quality in this region is almost two times as dense with mana as the Dark Continent is.

These are the first things my mind notices, but very quickly after, my aura meets the two gravity fields rocketing my way, and my eyes widen with surprise once I see a clear image of what's flying toward me.
