Darius Supreme

Chapter 406 - 406

From miles away, the trio were able to see that almost the entire eastern segment of the continent had been crushed by the explosion of green light that surged up to the sky, even displacing clouds. 

They could only watch with solemn faces as a powerful shockwave no weaker than the one from a nuclear blast swept over them and beyond. This was just the effect of a single skill from Gunner's repertoire, but its effects were cataclysmic. 

The trio had now come into contact with the true power level of Faust, making them aware why they didn't see the Gods or True Lords frolicking about and causing trouble. 

A few fights like this and there would not be much left of Faust... 

Just like how nuclear weapons were kept on Earth but not used as it would harm everybody, so too did Gods and True Lords not fight easily for it would harm their very home on a fundamental level. 

It was better to fight proxy wars, which was even why they bothered wasting time setting up churches, building factions, naming paladins, etc. 

Darius transformed into his human form while Gunner and Xela resumed their usual faces. They each gazed at the other in silence before shaking their heads. What needed to be said did not have to be said, they already understood it right away. 

Darius teleported them to the ground and sighed. He then noticed that the Supreme System was pinging him. 

[You have gained 30,720 EXP, etc.] 

[Gunner has gained 30,720 EXP, etc.] 

[Xela has gained 30,720 EXP, etc.] 

[You have leveled up x8! You are now level 40(+12). You have gained 0.8 Ability Points and Skill Points to spend as you wish!] 

[Gunner has leveled up x8! He is now level 40(+12). He has gained 0.8 Ability Points and Skill Points to spend as he wishes!] 

[Xela has leveled up x8! She is now level 40(+13). She has gained 0.8 Ability Points and Skill Points to spend as he wishes!] 

They had killed around 16 Adepts and those 2 initial Masters. The rest either gave no experience or had escaped the final blast. Darius wasn't surprised by this, as the main force had already been greatly culled by the bugs before they were all destroyed. 

With the Grandmasters having fled, that should bring a temporary end to the underground expedition. They would have to gather, discuss how to deal with Darius and co, then consult their higher-ups and all that. 

This should buy Darius some time, but it would only be a week at best, assuming the Gods and co were like ants in a hot pan, anxious to have the Insects weakened every year regardless of the cost. 

Darius was surprised though, that Gunner's Eraser Cannon did not damage any Insects below the earth, unless they were too weak to give experience. Then, how deep were the truly powerful Insects? 

Well, he would find out the exact measurements soon, wouldn't he? 

It was time to head below the earth and see what these insects had to offer in terms of resistance. Darius did spare a glance to check Xela's changes as well.
