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

Chapter 687

The black and purple dragon pulses with murderous Demonic Soul Energy, making the room twice as heavy as when the demon released its aura of intimidation, and its eyes lock onto Ember with genuine rage.

"You're an Overseer... We were wrong... The Divine Beasts that reincarnated to this new world for their cycle were not all killed off..."

Ember grins, showing his sharp teeth while responding.

"Yes... I stayed on my last world longer than expected. I wasn't able to ascend in my last life. I managed to make it to this world just in time. But—an Overseer? Don't group me in with those underachievers."

Ember's True Core pulses, sending waves of yellow divine light all over his body. Its unique ability is being manifested for the first time, and a bright yellow fire moves up from his chest into his throat and out his mouth in a blinding display of light before the purple dragon can even process the words he just spoke.

A pillar of bright yellow light, crackling with trace amounts of silver threads, hits the Demonic Dragon's left wing, searing right through with almost no resistance at all.

There have only been a few other instances when an ability like this was used in the past, one of them being when Ember displayed his Soul Energy's unique properties, dissolving a mountain within a dungeon.

His True Core's Divine Flames seem to have a similar property, dissolving through the Dragon's flesh like it's water dripping away.

The pillar of flames hits the back wall of the room, and a wretched dragon's pain-filled roar erupts from the demonic monster.

A moment of terror and realization courses through this beast as it was caught off guard, and the monster turns its head to see the edges of the hole where it was hit expand, dissolving its wing even more.

It lets out a wave of dense purple and yellow divine demonic soul energy from its mouth straight at the wound nonstop, surging high up in the air away from Ember while relentlessly attacking its own wing.

---

This collision makes the room fill with even more heavy aura, alerting both myself and the Demon that the battle between our bonded pairs has begun.

The Arch Demon before me doesn't even change its expression as the yellow and purple energy explodes above us; it still swings its sword to kill with no hesitation.

Now, with no incentive to find the Demon's stats, all I have to use my Foresight ability for now is to dodge and get a feel for my opponent's battle style.

I swing my blade upward and jump out of the way to do exactly that.

Red and purple aura collide as our swords meet, and we're both pushed back.

I follow the optimal path, and we collide five more times, blipping all over the room's floor, circling the silver pillar in the center of the room.

Two massive dragons clash in the sky a second time; however, an ominous dark purple Greater Form expands out from the Demonic Dragon in order to block the second pillar of Divine Fire without losing more flesh.

The circular wound in its wing hasn't been healed, but after excessive Demonic Soul Energy regeneration, the spreading dissolving properties finally stop once it doubled in size.

The activation of its Greater Demonic Form makes the Dragon over 150 meters long and creates a new heavy aura in the air.

Another seven exchanges go by between myself and the Demon, circling the pillar of silver light again.

I manage to get a far better feel for my foresight ability, as each dodge and block I act on leads to the next exchange, allowing me to pair up possibilities and dance around the battlefield, missing deadly blows by millimeters over and over again.
