Chapter 1580 Grinding Demonic Energy
Divine Power flew off my body and soul, as it was injected into the Dream Dungeon that was recently assimilated into my Divine Realm. The abandoned futuristic city trembled, as hundreds of Divine Monsters were instantly born through the Dream Dungeon's powers. They all had the shape of gigantic arachnid robots with red metallic armor, the same Boss-type foe we had to fight at the very beginning of our exploration of this Dungeon, named Goliaths. They also had long, scorpion tail-like guns behind them, which they used to fire powerful beams. And above all, giant, sharp metallic claws to tear apart anything they wanted.
Ding!
[You have exchanged 100.000.000 Divine Power, which have been injected into the Dream Dungeon's Core!]
[The Dream Dungeon's Core shines brightly! One thousand Rank 9 Divine Dream Monsters have been created! They have been programmed to be hostile to you, be careful.]
"Good, here they come." I smiled. "Gabriel, Armor Form. Belle, Spirit Fusion. Rose, wait there, you'll combine with the weapon I am going to create."
"Yes, master!"
"Alright, I guess."
"Are you not calling Aegir for this, Master?"
FLASH!
Gabriel, the Holy and Technomancy Divine Spirit swiftly transformed into a mass of golden colored metallic pieces, covering my entire draconic body with an additional layer of powerful holy armor. At the same time, Belle fused with me, giving me greater Dream Power, perfect to deal with Dream-type Monsters. Lastly, Rose floated nearby, waiting to combine at any time.
"No, Aegir is busy. She has been training and cultivating her own energies for a while now." I answered. "She has a lot of untapped power and potential, apparently she said she should be a hundred times stronger than she is now. Most of such power would be born when the rest of her siblings revive but she said she can tap into a bit more… I think she got rather disappointed on herself after that fight against Marchosias."
"Is that so?" Wondered Rose. "Well, I hope she can grow stronger so she can be of more use!"
CLANK, CLANK!
The gigantic mechanic monsters began swarming the entire city. They couldn't fly though, so they were left staring at me and firing their beams while clanking their giant, metallic claws. Just have some patience, will you?
"Now… Let's first start with the initial effects of {Infernal Wolf's Blazing Rampage}!"
I felt Demonic Energy encompassing my entire body, as I started being set ablaze completely. My health points were going down slowly, although due to my immortal body, they regenerate instantly right afterwards. The effects of this Demonic Ability's health drain were completely useless against someone with an immortal body such as me.
FLASH!
Like a blazing meteor, by titanic body impacted the city. Dozens of Goliaths were immediately impacted. Rank 9 at Peak Stage or not, their bodies were completely unable to resist the rampaging attack, flames exploding everywhere as their bodies melted away and turned into masses of molten metals and circuits.
BOOOM!
The Goliaths didn't falter though, as twenty of them died on the spot, several dozen more came to attack me from all sides. Their beams impacting my body constantly. My armor and scales holding back the damage quite well, as I quickly swung my claws as the effects of the skill's basic abilities were still active. Aside from the explosive damage of the charging attack, while still charging, I can constantly increase my attack power up to a thousand percent, while ignoring their defenses up to fifty percent. I clawed my way through them, my damage kept increasing and increasing, I felt a rush of ectasis after admiring how strong I've gotten. Rank 9 monsters at peak stage were being devastated without any effort.
But this wasn't why I summoned them here anyways…
"Good, it's good. But that's not everything else…" I smiled. "Now, {Demonic Spirit: Fire-Spitting Demon Wolf Marchosias}!"
FLUOSH!
Two gigantic blazing demonic spirits in the shape of Marchosias were summoned in an instant, each one taking a few thousand points of Demonic Energy, quite cheap despite how strong they were. The two roared, without seemingly any autonomous mind of their own. It seems they didn't have any memories of being Marchosias.
"{Demonic Spirit Weapon}!"
By activating the Demonic Ability's special effect, both of them, each one a hundred meters tall, swiftly shapeshifted. Transforming into a gigantic blazing demonic sword and a gigantic blazing hammer. I wielded them both with my bulky, scaled, and armored hands, their blazing power covering my body.
"Good, let's begin the farming now! Ashlock, eat the corpses to convert them into even more Demonic Energy for me!"
"Kyuuuh!"
Ashlock fused into the hammer, while Rose fused into the sword. I slashed and crushed the Goliaths one after another, pieces of metal constantly flying everywhere. Demonic flames spreading as I let myself enjoy some stress-reliving fight where I didn't had to worry about anything else.
CRASH!
BAAM!
CLASH!
BOOOM!
I continued fighting until the summon duration of the weapons ended and they disappeared. But there was no cooldown in this Demonic Ability at all! So I simply summoned them again by spending a bit more Demonic Energy. Because of the lack of cooldown, I could simply keep these babies as much as I wanted. Eventually, after an hour of endless massacre, I stood over a pile of destroyed robots, Ashlock expanded his countless tentacle-like red-colored bark-covered roots, opening countless of demonic jaws and devouring everything else. Slowly converting it into Demonic Energy with his special Predation Ability. Some of such energy also became the source of his growth.
Ding!
[Using the {Demonic Spirit Weapon} of Marchosias, you have successfully absorbed +265.500.000 Demonic Energy!]
[Ashlock has absorbed an additional +127.000.000 Demonic Energy!]
"Oooh! Now this is what I call farming! For a hundred million divine power I get over three hundred million Demonic Energy? I like this!" I smiled. "Oh? Ashlock, you're…!"
"Kyuuh!"
Ashlock's entire body started growing larger and stronger, as I felt his entire existence become much more powerful and well defined. He was evolving.
FLASH!
