Chapter 73: Dungeon Break (5)

Elior might be able to stand up if he tried, but moving was another thing. After healing all wounds, it would take at least a week with no physical training. That's why he needed something else to help him in the process. 

[Congratulations! You have gained enlightenment. You have touched the realm of one with the universe.]

[You have killed a Corpse Fly LVL 107.]

[You have gained 1700234 karma points.]

[You have killed a chaosfiend two levels higher than your order. You have gained 150% more karma points.]

[You have levelled up.]

[You have levelled up.]                     

[ . . . ]

Within the second, Elior levelled up eight times for killing a third-order beast, but he was waiting for something more. The reward for creating this miracle.

[Congratulations! You have become the seventh person in the history of the Mother Universe to kill a monster two levels higher than yours alone. Such a feat is no less than a miracle.]

To think there were seven more people who did something like this. But considering he was not the only one with such an overpowered ability, it did make sense. He looked at the vortex and could tell it would collapse any moment now. In between, he has to take the reward and prepare to escape from here.

[You have gained the title: Predetor

Predator: Unique

You will not fear in the presence of higher-order chaosfiends or entities. The unique grade ability also gives resistance to mental corrosion as well as you will have a savagery aura when enabled even entity of the same level will turn still in fear.] 

[With the showcase of such a feat, the Guardian system will reward you with any ability of your choosing limited to the unique grade.]

Elior knew what he wanted, but choosing that did not seem a viable option in his current state. So he scrolled in the tab of only the unique ability. Fortunately, unique grade abilities were not a lot in number, barely a couple hundred, and finding what he needed did not seem to be a problem.

[You have chosen Progression.]

[Please confirm your choice.]

Elior did, gritting his teeth, yet another notification came stopping him from getting his hands on the ability.

[Apprentice Elior, your body has reached the limit to take another ability. If you merged with another foreign ability in your current state, there might be serious backlashes.]

[Saving the choice of Apprentice Elior as a safety protocol. You can take this ability anytime when you have reached the second order.]

'Right, I really forgot about this,' he thought. There was clearly a limitation to one's body on how much foreign power one could take in. If he was in a perfect situation, he would surely wait to reach the second-order before thinking about marching with a foreign ability. Moreover, the higher the grade of ability, the larger space it took in the soul, he would seriously have some backlashes if he took this now.

But he had no other option.

"Overwrite," he commanded at the system.

[Apprentice Elior attempted to overwrite the system protocol . . .]

"Overwrite," he commanded again, not having time to read the entire thing.

[Please stay calm. The ability 'Progression' will be infused with the body and spirit shortly.]

Then a piercing pain came. It was nothing like the normal grade poison resistance that only infused with his body and slowly merged with the soul over time. Unique grade ability was entirely different. The body could not actually hold on to everything of its ability, as it needs space in the soul to work properly.

The piercing pain continued for a few seconds as his soul and body fused with the ability. Elior kind of felt a glitch in his soul and body as the backlash of fusing with something he over his limit, but he ignored it for now. Healing was something he needed the most in his current situation.

Abruptly, the vortex started to clear out and it would be there for a dozen seconds before the dungeon would break and those huge things would come at him.

[Congratulations! You have gained Progression.]

Elior swirled the familiar yet foreign ability immediately with the small amount of mana he had. The little amount was not enough for now, so he invested eight more points into his intelligence and used more mana on the ability.

All the wounds on the exterior of his body, from the small cuts to the torn flesh that he got from the vortex, started to close off. It was healing in the naked eye. Technically, it was not authentically healing. Progression is an ability that uses mana to age the cells of the body. So currently, all his wounds were taking nature's course and healing on their own.

Though it takes a lot of mana, with the already healing potion he added, it was working fine. He left the cracked bones for now, as it would be a problem if he messed up the spots.

Elior stood up and saw the vortex breaking the chaos wall of the dungeon. All his external organs would have been patched up, though he still felt pain. Picking up the only rapier that remained close to him, Elior steadied the mask, though one of his eyes and nose could be seen from outside. Still, it was unrecognizable with the dried blood on his face.

He heard the screeches of the corpse fly again and barely prepared to battle again, though now his entire goal was to flee.

A huge corpse fly came at him again, and Elior started to move fast on his legs.

The dungeon shook for the last time then and the chaos wall turned non-existence.

Fortunately, he saw half a dozen figures incoming as well—moreover, he knew a couple of them. The one leading was none other than Roan while a white clad slender figure was standing just beside him. So he thought his job was somewhat successful. 

"I have done my part, now it's your turn," Elior said, running out, ignoring the huge fly behind him as it would probably have more people to eat now.
