Chapter 320 - Who's The Real Monster?
Dozens of fleshly buildings were razed to the ground, and thousands of worker-class bugs swarmed towards Fenriri, while millions more were on the way.
The low-ranking Scruxs were driven crazy by Fenriri and Albion's wanton destruction.
But no matter how they tried to get rid of them, the worker-class bugs were only cannon fodder, whose purpose was none other than to become EXP.
+12 EXP
+8 EXP
+17 EXP
+3 EXP
The amount of EXP gained was minuscule compared to the crawlers in the city, but when Fenriri killed hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands of them, they accumulated into a hefty sum.
Ding!
<You have leveled up!>
<You have leveled up!>
…
The system alerted, and before long, Fenriri had already reached Lv.22 Hunter while her claws became stained with shades of green and red.
Some distance away, Albion lifted a broken building with brute strength and hurled at the big hive, shaking it greatly as he glanced over to check on Fenriri from time to time.
Her physical strength grew at an astronomical rate.
She might have the small body of a young wolf-girl, but she already has the tyrannical strength of a super gorilla!
The cultivation method of the Iceborn World Tribe made use of spiritual energy to augment and improve their bodies.
It contains an energy-gathering aspect, but it was mainly a body refining cultivation method, contrary to the Asura Empyrean Arts that Albion practiced.
His Asura Empyrean Arts contains all three energy gathering, soul tempering, and body refining aspects, but the core of the cultivation method was ultimately energy gathering.
'If she was at the same level and cultivation rank as me, even if she practices an inferior method, her physical strength is likely to be even greater than my own,' Albion thought.
Of course, that was under the assumption that he does not start practicing a body refining cultivation method, which he saw no reason why he should not.
Body Refiners benefits the most from the Hunter System's empowerment.
And even though he wasn't a Body Refiner yet, his energy cultivation was so high that his physical strength was similar to a Body Refiner of a lower cultivation rank.
The Soul Sprite's ability to improve people's physical strength was very mysterious.
'Body Refiner would at least show clear changes in their mass and density, yet there are no such changes under the system's physical augmentation,' Albion pondered.
'Soul Sprite… EXP… Soul energy…'
As he thought about these three points, it became clear that the system's augmentation had nothing to do with the body but the soul—soul augmentation that manifested its strength in reality.
Albion's eyes flickered.
In that instance, he understood the truth.
It was like using telekinesis to enhance his physical strength. It was all based on his will.
A stronger soul will have a stronger will, and when one's will is powerful enough, it can even bend the world's law and change reality.
The power to create and destroy with a single thought; was a concept that everyone in the Nine Divine Heavens pursued.
It was especially true for the Asura Emperor and the other Immortal Emperors who stood at the peak of the Nine Divine Heavens.
To become something greater than Immortal Emperor, capable of ruling over everything in existence.
To be the one True God.
'The Immortal Emperor all pursued it as their ultimate goal, but none had achieved it. Was it truly possible?' Albion wondered.
No, it definitely was.
However, it was something that was still far out of reach for him to be concerned.
After shaking his head, Albion continued to stomp the bugs and hurl large fleshly buildings at the hive to rattle the hornet's nest.
His Eyes of Asura failed to see through the dense mass of flesh and blood, and he had no interest in entering such a disgusting hive.
Thus, he could only choose this method to draw out the enemy.
+12 EXP
+19 EXP
+4 EXP
+13 EXP
Even now, Albion was also getting passive amounts of EXP in addition to his own kills, yet Pompom was nowhere in sight.
He could only assume it was trapped somewhere inside the giant hive.
…
…
…
Boom… Boom…
Underneath Blackshore Caverns, the underground city of the Scruxs continued to shake terribly, causing veins to snap and cracks to appear on the ceilings and walls.
"Dammit! Who dares to attack our home?! At this rate, the entire earth is going to collapse on our city!" a noble-class Scruxs cried.
Shortly after, another noble-class Scruxs dropped down in front of the Broodmother-class Scruxs and made a request.
"My queen! Please give me the order to lead the army and confront our foes at the gates! It's because we've been laying low for too long that the enemy grew the courage to launch a large-scale attack on our territory!"
"As I said, we should have started our aggressive expansion plan sooner! My queen, please give the order! I would also like to lead the troops into battle and enemy!"
One by one, the noble-class Scruxs all voiced their intent to battle.
They were already in favor of the aggressive expansion plan, and the human attack on their territory only further fueled their desire to proceed with it.
Queen Kakina was silent for a moment before turning to her human strategist.
"What do you think?"
"I still don't think the aggressive expansion plan is a good idea—But I cannot deny the fact that we are under attack. So we have to show them how terrifying we can be."
"Then I shall give the order. All of you shall lead the main troops out and vanquish our enemies! Spare none of them alive! Show them the terror befitting of the Scruxs!"
"Yes, my queen!"
Luther Krebs and the ten noble-class Scruxs led ten million-strong soldier-class Scruxs out of the underground city.
But when they arrived on the surface, they were immediately stunned.
There was no large-scale attack from any human army.
There were only two people.
Boom!
Albion hurled another massive object at the hive tower, causing numerous fleshly veins at the bottom of it to snap before the hive tower finally toppled over.
"W-What kind of monstrosity is he?! Such brutality!"
"We were going to fight such a monster?! F*ck, humans are scary!"
The noble-class Scruxs were all shocked.
