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

Chapter 753

Fisher tries to follow after Monk, but every footstep closer to the black bones he takes, the colder his body gets.

It is not like the icy cold aura that envelops Lydia.

Her ice actually feels full of energy, as Fisher can sense the mana creating it.

This aura that seeps into his mind and body as he takes another step feels like the absence of energy itself.

Even the demonic energy swirling around this world does not flow into the skeletal structure of this dead monster.

The imagery of the demonic beasts he just killed, slamming their soul weapons against the rib cage of this creature and their full-force strike being deflected back, repeats over and over as he tries to step even closer.

However, the water-wielding swordsman stops, as his mind feels as though it's becoming dull, and his grasp on the system slightly wavers.

The dominance of whatever creature once lived and left these bones behind lingers... and he takes a step backward out of respect, wondering how strong it must have been when it was alive to make him feel inferior even in the presence of its corpse.

Both Luna and Lydia feel a very similar emotion, as they have stopped their steps a few meters behind Fisher when their minds and systems dulled.

The three of them cannot even see where Monk has gone, as their senses cannot pierce the vibrating barrier.

Luna summons her buff to create thirteen massive eyes in the sky above the skeleton.

After a blast like that, any additional aura put out into the world will be negligible.

Her range at full power easily spans the entire desert, and she whispers under her breath for Fisher and Lydia to hear.

"You may have cleared the area out here, but that put an even bigger target on our heads... I sense hundreds—no—thousands of them."

Luna sees countless enormous sandworms erupting from the desert, and every stray wolf and orc turns their heads to the center of this flat terrain.

Not only are third- and second-class beasts attracted to the shockwave, but many first-class monsters of a similar stature to the ones killed just now feel the powerful exchange—but know this is not the work of the Kings.

To the eroding brains of demonic energy-infected monsters, where there are fights, there must be rewards worth fighting over.

From all of the surrounding regions, their strongest warriors begin wandering this way.

While for some, it may take a few days to arrive, others can get here in a matter of hours or minutes. Though, with thousands of beasts attracted to a single point in the desert, many more fights are sure to break out along the way.

Luna's many eyes widen as she watches all-out war break loose, and the main forces slowly drift toward them in the center of the desert.

Fisher and Lydia turn, and their auras begin to glow brightly again.

The icy swordswoman pulls her blade from her sheath, and the water wielder's weapon glows blue.

"Looks like we have more work to do."

"Indeed. We'll hold them off until Monk is done inside."

—

This is exactly what they do.

Ava watches a sped-up holographic feed from Fisher, Lydia, and Luna as this massive battle in the desert rages on for days.

No feedback is shown from Monk, but Ava's mind is racing with questions.
