Chapter 198: Chapter 139: Divine Level Soul Dominator

...

’Oh, so it’s not just me.’

Lu Cang had been thinking he wasn’t being cautious or humble enough.

’Now it seems I was being far too humble.’

Lu Luwei pouted. "Hmph..."

"It’s just one promotion to a Level 2 Profession."

Low Level Professions had very little impact on High Level ones. In Lu Luwei’s opinion, Lu Cang taking on so many Low Level Professions was a waste of his Talent.

If those Low Level Professions weren’t holding him back, his Mage or Warrior Profession would have reached who-knows-what Level by now.

A confident smile spread across Lu Cang’s face, a hint of pride finally showing through. "But it’s not *just* that."

Chi Cheng stretched out his arms and hoisted Lu Cang up. "Let’s go! We’re all ready, aren’t we!"

The usually stoic Obades actually raised its stone arm. "Ooh!"

Chi Cheng declared, "Finally, time to go all out again!"

"Obades! Go on in!"

Obades nodded and strode forward.

It vanished from everyone’s sight.

Next to enter were Chi Cheng and Kumironi, stepping in together.

After them, Izparut paused for a moment before stepping inside.

Lu Luwei followed, entering the Dungeon.

Lu Cang was the last to go.

The order of entry into the Dungeon was extremely strict.

This was to maximize their chances of survival.

No matter how powerful they were, they never lost their sense of awe when truly entering a Dungeon.

Stepping into the Dungeon, they saw no Demons. The first thing that met their eyes was a massive boulder sealing the cave entrance.

Lu Luwei spoke up. "The Perception interference is strong... My Perception can only penetrate this rock to see one kilometer inside."

"There are no Demons waiting in ambush behind the rock. There are three forking paths. The middle and left ones are dead ends with traps, and only the rightmost path goes through. It has traps too, but I can disarm them."

’So this is an Observer...’

’Having an Observer on the team changes everything.’

’Although I can see inside just fine myself. My Final Sense’s Perception can’t be blocked.’

Chi Cheng took down his Heavy Sword.

"So, our first step is to smash this rock, right?"

Lu Cang said, "No, there’s a Magic Restriction on this rock."

"If we smash it, it seems like it will trigger a chain reaction with something inside."

"It’s better not to break it."

Lu Cang was now a master of Trap Science, and he identified the trap Restriction on the boulder at a glance.

"I can undo it."

"Iz should be able to undo it too."

"But, I’ll do it."

Iz nodded and gestured for him to proceed.

Lu Cang touched his hand to the stone.

Decryption Scholar Skill: Transparent Breakthrough (Level 301).

This was Penetration, a skill learned by a Level 2 Decryption Scholar.

Lu Cang had already trained this Skill to the highest Skill Proficiency Level.

It was a Soul-Gathering Stone, a rock that contained countless resentful souls.

The proper way to deal with it was to perform Purification on these resentful souls. If the stone were shattered by force, the souls would fly out in a frenzy and strike back at whoever broke it.

Chi Cheng likely wouldn’t be afraid of these souls.

However, something inside that was bound to the stone would probably undergo a strange transformation as a result.

Judging by its structure, destroying the stone would likely destroy something inside along with it.

After a moment of thought, Lu Cang decided to use his Death Priest abilities.

Divine Level Soul Dominator.

SHHIIING!

In an instant, all the souls were drawn directly into his body!

These wild, resentful souls were transformed into a part of his Noble Soul.

The Cave of Desperate Wails was filled with resentful souls, Undead, Ghost Souls, and all sorts of evil, suffering-type Demons.

They just so happened to be easily countered by his Death Priest abilities.

As the souls were extracted, the stone before him seemed to become lighter.

Lu Cang gripped the stone with both hands, moved it backward, and lifted it out of the way.

"That should do it."

The path ahead was now open.

Just as Lu Luwei had said, there were three forking paths.

Just then, a spiritual message entered his mind.

Lu Cang instinctively tried to reject it, but then realized it was from Lu Luwei.

She wanted to share her Perception with him.

’Oh, right. This is an Observer’s ability: Perception sharing.’

Lu Cang relaxed his Spirit.

Her Perception merged with his.

WHOOSH!

As the Perception spread out, Lu Cang experienced Lu Luwei’s Perception Range for the first time. It was terrifyingly vast.

Her Perception probed inward, mapping out every area not protected by a Restriction with perfect clarity.

He could clearly see how many forking paths and turns the cave had, where the traps and treasure chests were, how the Demons were distributed, the type and Level of each one, and even the direction of their gazes and the locations of their weak points.

"Can I attack directly?"

Lu Luwei took the bow from her back.

From their current position, she was already within attacking Range.

If she started attacking from here, firing Arrows specifically at the Demons’ weak points, they would be riddled like porcupines by the time they reached her.

Moreover, Lu Luwei could probably conceal the origin of her Arrows.

The Demons would have no idea where the attacks were coming from.

Lu Cang put himself in the Demons’ shoes.

’If I were one of these Demons, and Arrows suddenly started flying from all directions... but my Perception couldn’t detect the enemy, I’d have no idea where I was being hit from.’

"Ah, are you going to start now?"

"But my buddy here needs to comprehend his Extreme Battle Intent."

Lu Luwei pouted slightly. "Is that one enough for him to work with?"

Lu Cang felt his shared Perception being guided to focus on a single Tier Six, King Level Demon.
