Chapter 208: Chapter 143: One’s Own Extreme Battle Intent

Alright...

One more arrogant than the next.

Teams like this are usually the first to die.

An image couldn’t help but surface in Lu Cang’s mind: one moment they’re boasting about being invincible, the next they’re sliced in two. ’I hope you guys really are invincible. I’d hate for the precious trust I just gave you to crumble so soon.’

The group left the Cave of Desperate Wails through a different fork in the path.

Along the way, they killed quite a few more Tier Six King Level Demons.

This time, Lu Cang actually remembered to focus on comprehending his Battle Intent.

He fought his way through all sorts of Tier Six King Level Demons, but comprehending his Battle Intent felt like being constipated—it was right on the verge of coming out, but never quite made it.

Fortunately, Lu Cang wasn’t in a hurry.

’I probably won’t even be the main fighting force in this Dungeon anyway.’

"Let me try something first."

Lu Cang stood before the Dungeon, one hand aimed at its entrance.

The knowledge he’d acquired yesterday flashed through his mind.

’All Dungeons are part of a Nest. A Sacrifice to a Dungeon is an act that alters the region of the Nest it connects to. It can be broken down into vertical depth and horizontal depth... Vertical depth is the Tier. Horizontal depth... is my Sacrifice.’

’So, where will this Sacrifice lead?’

Lu Cang raised his hand, pouring fifty thousand souls into the entrance.

The black Dungeon entrance shifted slightly, but the change was minuscule...

Chi Cheng stared at the nearly unchanged passage before them.

"That’s... it?"

"Yeah. In any case, let’s give it a try."

"Fair enough," said Chi Cheng.

Now that he was a Level 2 Death Priest, the returns from his Sacrifices were higher, and the diminishing returns on increasing the soul count weren’t as severe as before.

Lu Cang suspected that a 50,000-soul Sacrifice now was probably equivalent to a 500,000-soul Sacrifice before.

Of course, when Sacrificing to a Tier Four Dungeon, a 50,000-soul Sacrifice had already summoned twelve Tier Four Nation Destruction Level Demons.

When Sacrificing to a Tier Six Dungeon, the effect might not be as significant.

Lu Cang couldn’t be sure if this amount was enough to summon a Submerged Land Level Demon.

’But... if it’s not enough, I can just add more.’

’It’s not a one-time deal, anyway.’

The group exchanged glances.

They nodded to one another.

One by one, in order, they entered the Dungeon.

Before them was no longer a cave, but a vast ocean...

Lu Luwei’s Perception linked with his.

Lu Cang instantly sensed the presence of many Nation Destruction Level Demons.

There were Tier Four, Five, and Six Nation Destruction Level Demons.

All of them were far out at sea.

The sea itself wasn’t a Demon, just an ordinary ocean teeming with souls.

Chi Cheng hoisted his Heavy Sword onto his shoulder.

But his face was filled with disappointment.

"Sigh... No Submerged Land Level Demons."

"Bro, looks like the Sacrifice wasn’t quite enough this time."

It was true. His Perception couldn’t find any trace of a Submerged Land Level Demon.

"In that case, I’ll go kill a few King Level Demons and we’ll try another Sacrifice..."

Lu Cang’s figure vanished in a flash of white light.

The others sat down on the beach.

Obades, Chi Cheng, and Izparut held a deck of cards.

"Pair of sixes," said Chi Cheng.

"Pair of nines," said Obades.

"Joker bomb," said Iz.

"Holy shit, Iz! Did you use Magic to peek at our cards?"

"Heh, I would never do something like that."

Lu Cang was killing enemies.

Lu Luwei was beside Obades, trying out her newly acquired Bow Skills.

Kumironi wasn’t entirely at ease, so he was watching out for Lu Cang.

「About two hours later.」

Lu Cang returned, covered in blood.

Chi Cheng’s eyes lit up. He could feel the Extreme Battle Intent radiating from Lu Cang.

After battling an untold number of Tier Six King Level Demons, Lu Cang had finally comprehended his own Extreme Battle Intent.
