My sword breaks through the dark purple core at its moment of weakness; and I feel it shatter to pieces.

When Celestial energy tries to flow back in, it creates a violent reaction and the cyan core beneath it destabilizes from the pressure.

My blade tears through the rest of its flesh and slams down on the hard black floor below.

The mutilated corpse is blown in half; and a ru...

An explosion of bright white and blue ice bursts off the impact point of this Demon’s clawed hand and Maria’s sword as it is summoned into existence.

Some of the explosion bursts out of range of my ether senses, but the impact of the hit vibrates through me with just as much intensity as the hit I blocked.

The only difference is Maria is taking the brunt of the physical damage t...

Our next movement is a stride away from these pulses of Celestial Energy.

My body becomes riddled with fear, and it is only amplified by the vibrations that share the same emotion connected to me.

We barely just managed to stand up, and are having a hard enough time walking. There is no way we’re ready to face an unknown enemy. We need more time to grow stronger…

After a f...

Another 500 Celestial Energy Cycles each pass.

I can move all of my fingers at once, and even shift my whole hands.

My back muscles against the hard ground are able to flex and shift.

My abs and pecs feel strong, now able to contract and withstand the weight on top of me.

I can bend my legs and move my feet to grip against the hard black rock ground.

Maria is able ...

I try to activate my telepathy channel with Maria, but nothing comes back.

My throat feels heavy, and I can’t even move my lips to speak.

It is a combination of the overwhelming gravity, mixed with my fatigue, but even though my body is stuck, my mind still wanders.

It’s so quiet… and dark…

I can’t even summon a system screen in my mind.

It feels like I�...

An enormous Royal Demon sits on a cyan-colored throne, looking down a long and wide palace entrance hall.

There are hundreds of bright pillars at its sides, holding the enormous structure upright, with archways overhead, stretching millions of kilometers across the sky.

In between each archway, hundreds of High Noble Demons of the Morvale Family stand at guard, motionless, staring f...

Dungeon Diver CH874

The sky of the green zone flashes with a burst of white, blue, and red light so bright that every Lord beneath it is blinded by the intensity.

The deep cyan cracks spread over the sky, and the entire zone, from its top to bottom, is enveloped in cold and hot Royal Vibrations.

The remaining Citadel shake violently, and even the bottom of the Realm trembles.

It feels like realit...

Dungeon Diver CH873

Maria’s cores, body, mind, and soul are at the brink of shattering. Everything is unstable, and pushed way too far beyond its safe limits.

The cracks that break out from her body force more and more cracks to form in the green zone itself, forcing open new fractures in space and making the distance between us seem even further away despite me moving closer.

I see Celestial teardro...

Dungeon Diver CH872

As a ripple of white celestial light trails behind me, over a billion futures flash by in my mind.

This includes images of myself not making it to Maria in time, watching the entire top of the green zone be encased in ice, and the cracks leading to the cyan zone opening up far too wide to close; destroying this zone in a far more violent fashion than Miriel’s plan to fill it with corrup...

Dungeon Diver CH871

My full mind is occupied by the task of absorbing this never-ending wave of corruption I’ve allowed to flow into my body.

It acts much differently than the corruption that was attacking my Sacred Body before, as I’ve given it pathways to follow without any pushback. In turn, it does not try to destroy me either. My Royal Vibrations are aligned with the final desires of this Demon.

Dungeon Diver CH870

On the far side of the green zone, a Wyvern and human bonded pair still glow with blue and green light, radiating Celestial energy while they fly upward through the remains of a massive Demonic High Noble Wyvern they have blown to bits.

Their energies mix, and their vibrations bounce off each other. While separate in their individual nature, both now share essence from the other.

Se...

Dungeon Diver CH869

All of my senses become covered in a bright white light.

I feel my extremely refined ether pool grow hotter. It has already been tethered to the system via my mana pool, to create Celestial Energy; but the moment this upgrade is triggered, something shifts deep within my soul.

My Soul Energy Core contracts, then pulses outward like a beating heart. The shockwaves of white Celestial ...

Dungeon Diver CH868

Miriel chokes on the thick air and falls to his knees from the pressure they are all emitting.

The fact that they are speaking through a hologram, and from different zones of the upper realm, while still exerting this much pressure down on him, is like nothing he’s ever felt before.

Yet, even as this pressure fills the room, he does not pass out.

Miriel only smiles while sta...

Dungeon Diver CH867

The feeling of breaking through from a Noble to a High Noble is still quite fresh in this Demon’s mind.

After hundreds of thousands of years, seeing for himself that no race in this galaxy has ever come close to the strength of a Noble Demon, it is not just the words of his family that make this a fact in his mind.

Miriel is certain there is no race that could ever come close to t...

Dungeon Diver CH866

While notifications rush through my mind, countless memories do too.

In the past, I’ve absorbed memories from monsters and beasts with thousands of years of experience, and even a few over ten thousand years.

Not only do I gain the visual and emotional memories of opponents I kill, but I also gain the instincts, battle techniques, and honed movements they have trained during their...

Ember ranks up after reaching level 100,000 and receives the [Celestial Dragon’s Sacred Body] buff.

It begins to activate, as he finally lets fragments of medium-quality ether left inside his mental storage for times like these, flow through him. Yet, as his true Celestial energy purifies and grows his body outward, growing over ten times larger than his Astral Form, he thinks to himsel...

Dungeon Diver CH864

The pressure between us fully releases once Miriel has to pull the coiling corruption attacking me from all sides back in, adding to his black living armor.

Instead of attacking, he must go on the defensive.

“What is this madness? A human with a Celestial Body? All of the latent potential in the Lower Realm should have been snuffed out! This does not make any sense!”

I fee...

Seconds earlier:

“This may be our last meeting… Fallen One. The Upper Realm will be sealed after this stunt you pulled. It’s been your best try so far, but you are not strong enough to defeat me, Miriel’s one weakness…” The Demonic Dragon beams directly into Ember’s mind.

A deep white and purple claw mark is visible across Ember’s underbelly, and across the bottom of...

Dungeon Diver CH862

The three cores falling through the green clouds, being battered by hundreds of tendrils of corruption are being cracked and fractured more with every hit.

Thousands more coiling tornadoes of Royal Vibration infused corruption follow downward, as in these milliseconds within my mind palace, Miriel Vermillion has closed the gap even further. The ruler of the green zone of the Upper Realm i...

Dungeon Diver CH861

The next wave of hundreds of dark corruption coils comes crashing down toward my cores.

Instead of aiming to destroy my greater form, they all have a much smaller target to land on, the three damaged cores covered in a veil of soul energy, divine threads, and a purple layer of an external artifact’s protection.

I don’t have a perfect visual of what is going on outside my mind af...

Dungeon Diver CH860

Time passes, and the collection of memories lay open all around me, from all of the most intense breakthroughs, epiphanies, and energy consolidation moments from my own life and many other monsters.

I relive them over and over, and the coiling tendrils of corruption keep getting closer to me in reality outside.

Abby and Seraphel land two devastating blows on the Demonic Wyvern they ...

Dungeon Diver CH859

I’ve used this skill a few times before, so when my perception of reality around me starts to slow down to a halt, and the majority of my active mind sinks deep into my consciousness, I’m not alarmed.

In the past, the activation of [Mind Palace] created a mental construct that looked like a small white throne and a library with neatly ordered books throughout a few dozen long rows. 2025-05-05 23:00:06 +0000 UTC View Post

“What are you talking about—” Ava yells back in response, then sifts through her spectate feeds to see exactly what he’s speaking of.

The outside of the entire Citadel starts to crack from the pressure that builds up in the center.

Not only do cracks start forming around all of the Citadel’s outer walls, but the barriers made of thick ether protecting the citizens of the G...

Demonic Noble Wyverns are falling from the sky.

Some fall straight into the sea of corruption.

Others are skewered by the edges of sharp citadel parts.

Over half even fall down onto the battlefield between Arie, Raven, and the Demonic Berserkers.

The first collision of energy between this final wall is Raven jumping out from her pocket dimension and slashing through the ...

Dungeon Diver CH856

The bright white flash of light in the sky above the Sea of Corruption may have knocked out dozens of wyverns and killed thousands of demonic beasts down below, but the Celestial Energy–imbued, High Noble Vibration–infused, Black Lightning–crackling Demonic Wyvern does not stop its mission to kill the small human and Blue Wyvern.

It explodes with dense bolts of electricity and chomp...

The outer edges of Maria’s black Soul Energy core already glow a light green coloring from the divine energy seeping out. Her Royal Blue Soul Energy fills her greater form, but other than the small amount let out upon its activation, this icy energy has not been fully tapped into yet. Doing so would have been catastrophic with allies nearby.

When she uses portions of it, like at the sta...

A warm blue notification pops up in Abby’s consciousness.

[Soul Bond]
[YES][NO]

Dense strings of ether in her mind connect to the soul weapon in her grasp, and countless memories from Wyverns that are not her own.

The massive blue Celestial body of water behind her, that is Seraphel, feels warm and inviting.

Their divine and soul energy cores both already pulse and ...

“A goblin? This is what all the fuss is about? What happened to the green zone after our lord left?”

The Demon yells down in a demeaning tone, laughing afterward while his flesh, horns, and the dense demonic energy around his body grow in size.

Even the soul weapon in his grasp grows, making the size difference in the clash against Ava’s smaller form far more exaggerated.

Dungeon Diver CH852

In the center of the Grand Citadel, more and more of the Inner City’s fragmented and crushed buildings are all swirling about in the air.

Large portions of the ether, divine energy, and mana-based structures are flowing into my Astral Form. It strengthens the shielding that forms around me, as well as allows me to grow even larger in size; while simultaneously re-summoning the Soul Swor...
