Daniel’s gaze fell on the wooden titans, dozens of them, and now all of them were dead.
Even though their strength ranged from Half Step S Rank and some even at False S Rank, none of them could resist him.
Even he was a little surprised at his current strength, far beyond what he had expected. It might not be wrong to say that below a true S Rank, he had no opponent left.
Cough, cough!
"Looks like I have some limits too." Suddenly, he coughed up a few drops of blood. Seeing this, a bitter smile appeared on his face.
In truth, even though he managed to kill them all, it didn’t mean it was easy for him. The only reason he could kill them so effortlessly was that black orb made from the Law of Death.
At first glance it may have seemed like just an ordinary orb, but to create it he had used up all of his mana and remaining energy inside his body.
He had even been forced to use part of his life force and spiritual power to boost it. All of this left his body in an extremely weakened state.
If he had been able to use his skills, he wouldn’t have needed to go through such trouble. With [Eternal Judgment] and a bit of boosting, he could have killed them all without much effort.
Still, even now, from his perspective this was an absolute victory. Dozens of wooden titans with power far beyond Rank A. Whether he turned them into Fallen or devoured them, this was a complete win.
He walked toward them, without hesitation deciding to devour half of them and turn the other half into Fallen. Although it might have been better to go to William first, he wasn’t too worried about that man.
His intuition told him William was completely fine, and he was certain that man was hiding many secrets.
He activated Everlasting Physique and his stomach turned into a devouring black hole.
Suddenly, half of the wooden giants were swallowed and disappeared without leaving a trace, as if they had never existed in the first place.
[Your physical strength has increased significantly]
[Your physical strength has greatly increased]
[Your physical strength has increased significantly]
[Your physical strength has ...]
[Are you sure you want to create a Fallen?]
[New Fallen successfully created]
He glanced briefly at the notifications. He didn’t need them to know how much stronger he had become.
By devouring half of the wooden giants, his physical strength had increased to a terrifying level. Not only that, but by turning the other half into Fallen, he had obtained ten percent of their stats.
A massive current of power surged through his entire body, power that made him feel like he could now destroy the heavens and the earth and nothing could stop him.
It was an intoxicating and strange feeling, something he had never experienced before, at least not to this extent.
"Now I can kill the same number of wooden giants without even needing the death orb." He muttered to himself with a smile.
Fortunately, his energy and mana were recovering quickly, and it wouldn’t take long before he returned to his peak strength.
His gaze then landed on the massive stone that was still in its place. He vanished from his spot and reappeared right in front of the stone.
The stone acted clueless, pretending to be just a normal rock, but only God knew how terrified it was at that moment.
"I’ll give you five seconds to spit out the human you swallowed, otherwise you’ll meet the same fate as them." Daniel said coldly, not caring.
The stone showed no reaction and continued acting like an ordinary stone.
"4"
"3"
"2"
"1"
"So you really want to die." Daniel smirked and raised his sword. Seeing the blade, the stone panicked and suddenly lost its solid form.
It started trembling and a huge mouth appeared on it. Moments later, it looked like it was starting to vomit...
William’s body, along with some other fluids, was spat out of the stone’s mouth and thrown onto the ground. Then the stone turned solid again, as if nothing had happened.
"How disgusting and weird." Daniel said, then glanced at William’s condition. Since he was covered in some kind of sticky liquid, Daniel decided not to touch him.
"Well, looks like he’s still alive." Seeing that William was still breathing, Daniel let out a sigh of relief. No matter how strong he was, he preferred not to be alone in this dungeon.
"My Lord, a human is approaching from the distance." The Fallen descended softly to the ground.
"A human? Strong?"
"Stronger than this man, slightly weaker than you."
"Slightly weaker than me? Interesting." Mischief flashed in Daniel’s eyes. He actually had a guess about who that approaching human might be.
But if his guess was right, then it was really strange, because for a Rank A to exist who was almost as strong as him was an extremely rare and nearly impossible thing.
He dismissed his Fallen and turned his gaze back to William, who seemed to slowly be opening his eyes.
"Where am I?" After opening his eyes, William looked around and frowned.
"How nostalgic." Daniel laughed and used a little mana to shock William out of his daze.
"Thank you." William stood up, checking his condition, and expressed his gratitude.
"No need to thank me, better clean yourself first."
"Understood." He nodded, and with a wave of his finger, all the sticky fluids covering him vanished as if they had never existed.
"What happened? Where are those giant trees?" He looked around, but none of those massive trees remained.
Instead, there was only a massive crater filled with ashes. The sky and surroundings were now completely clear.
"Well, nothing important." Daniel decided not to explain, since even if he did, this man probably wouldn’t believe him anyway.
After all, what Rank A could fight that many Half Step S Rank titans and win so easily?
"I see. Then shall we continue on our way?" William, noticing that the masked man didn’t intend to explain, didn’t press further and changed the subject.
"Better wait a bit, someone is coming here."
"Oh? A human is coming? How do you know that?" He asked with confusion. As far as he knew, using spiritual senses here was impossible, right?
But before Daniel could answer, a beautiful figure appeared in the sky above them, staring down at them.
"Diana?" William muttered when he saw the young woman who had suddenly appeared.
