Chapter 375 Night Invasion

Chapter 375 Night Invasion

“It looks like something on the abandoned island is pulling all kinds of monsters toward it… That’s why there are so many powerful monsters…” Dilan guessed as he stretched his stiff body.

He was currently sitting on the branches of one of the bigger trees near the beachside of the abandoned island to observe the monsters.

Two hours had already passed since the marine monsters with the ability to walk on land had emerged from the ocean and the incoming flood of monsters had yet to stop.

Dilan fought the monsters for quite a while, increasing the number of Essence points he had by a large amount. However, in the end, Dilan chose against continuing fighting because a bunch of monsters that were way too powerful for him had appeared.

Against his expectations, Silver Flood Dragons had emerged from the ocean. This was shocking, especially since the Silver Flood Dragons had been one of the kill targets with the Hell-difficulty advancement mission.

Dilan was pretty sure that this was not a coincidence and he had felt like attacking the Silver Flood Dragons just to find out how much stronger they were than ordinary monsters.

Yet, instead of acting foolishly, Dilan stopped himself because more and more powerful marine monsters were crawling out of the Ocean.

A few Tier-4 monsters or overly powerful Tier-3 monsters had been in the batch of monsters, who had entered the forest that was filled with roars, pained screams, and various other noises as they destroyed everything dead or living in their wake.

Dilan couldn’t even decipher the sources of some noises but that may be for the better because he was pretty sure that the noises didn’t mean anything good.

One particular ear-deafening roar attracted his attention because Dilan was pretty sure that he had heard a similar roar once or twice before the Primordial Ascension had occurred.

“A Tyrannosaurus Rex?” Dilan joked lightly, with bits of seriousness in his voice.

He was interested in what kind of existence was able to roar to create enough pressure and such a loud volume to cause the entire abandoned island to tremble.

It was intriguing but certainly way too dangerous to climb down the tree to figure out. Even if Dilan was slightly crazy, he was not stupid enough to approach some powerful monster if it was already enraged!

Instead, he made use of the current opportunities to the best of his ability. He bought one [Temporary Weapon Upgrade] for Balzaki, and four [Temporary Treasure Upgrades] for his other pieces of equipment, using 5,000 Essence Points before he set off.

After wearing powerful equipment that was equivalent to Tier-2 treasures, Dilan became much stronger than before. He jumped down to the ground and spent the next 10 minutes hunting down the strongest Tier-2 monsters he could find.

Dilan encountered a few Tier-3 monsters as well but he didn’t use [Switch] to increase his strength. marine monsters invaded the abandoned island and Dilan had to make sure that he could escape all kinds of monsters if they were to avert their focus from the thing that lured them toward the center of the island.

The moment a powerful Tier-3 monster, or one of the few Tier-4 monsters he had sensed before, were to attack him, Dilan would have to be able to go all out to run for his life.

He felt a bit like a coward but the Night Invasion of marine monsters was not something he could take lightly.

Being able to fight against Tier-3 monsters was already an achievement not many Ascenders at the peak of Tier-1 were capable of.

Under normal circumstances, he was not even supposed to fight these monsters because his mission was just to survive.

But Dilan was not satisfied with that anymore. What was the use of being able to survive if he had to cower in fear of being killed in front of some being? It was time to turn the tides and to survive while attacking his opponents.

This was something Dilan wanted everyone to do after returning to Milarn. There was no need for them to shy away against powerful monsters and the Temples that were filled with foreign races.

It was not the time for humans to retreat, hide and just defend themselves. On the contrary, it was the perfect time for humans to attack, become stronger, and reign supreme.

There were numerous places on Milarn that had yet to be explored and Dilan was sure that there would be more unique living forms on the tiny planet than a few mere Werewolves and Vampires.

He wanted to face a few Witches and various other beings. But to do this and to adventure through Milarn, it was necessary to be the strongest, otherwise, he would just die facing stronger opponents!

As a warm-up session, Dilan spent a total of 10 minutes fighting, killing more than 500 monsters, whose corpses he squeezed inside the storage ring by temporarily increasing their storage space as well.

[The Host shows signs of being willing to sell the Essence crystals of the Abandoned Island’s monsters. Does the host want to sell all the Essence Crystals of all the corpses collected from the Abandoned Island to the Essence Shop?]

The System notification seemed a little bit different than usual. He was pretty sure of that though Dilan didn’t mind it.

The system seemed to help him right now, so he was willing to accept that help, especially since it saved him lots of time removing the Essence crystals out of the monsters’ corpses.

‘Yes!’ He thought before the monster corpses disappeared from within his storage ring.

Dilan hadn’t expected the bodies to disappear as well but he didn’t have much use of them right now, either way.

His storage ring didn’t have enough permanent storage space to bring more things back to Milarn. That was a bit annoying, which was also why Dilan used 30,000 Essence points to enlarge his storage ring’s storage space permanently.

Bringing back the body parts of Tier-2 and even Tier-3 monsters was essential. It was useful for the growth of his group and it would allow Old Jeff and the others to create even more powerful weapons and other pieces of equipment.

Spending 30,000 Essence points in exchange was something Dilan was more than willing to do, especially since he realized that he needed more storage space to accommodate the corpses of monsters he just killed, either way.

It was more cost-efficient to permanently increase his storage ring’s space instead of temporarily increasing it for 10 minutes by spending 1000 Essence coins.

Dilan spent the next 10 hours until the sun came up waiting for the perfect timing before he would attack the biggest group of Tier-2 monsters.

Every single attack was 10 minutes long and Dilan roughly earned 70,000 Essence points with every attack he initiated.

His funds quickly increased, while he was not forced to flee from his opponents even once.

His Essence Points increased to more than 500,000 within a mere 24 hours which was exceptional.

There were still two more days left, and Dilan felt that he was getting greedier.

“If I can kill some stronger existences…and I use their Essence crystals after advancing to Tier-2…I can become even stronger…”

Even though the Abyss-difficulty advancement mission ought to be near-impossible to be solved, Dilan’s mindset was slowly changing from avoiding dangers to approaching the dangers directly.

He was ready to go all out fighting powerful monsters, especially now that he knew that it was possible for him to improve his equipment using the Essence shop.

Considering the speed at which he gathered points, Dilan was more than ready to make investments in order to increase his strength which in turn allowed him to make even bigger gains.

He began to smile crazily while licking his lower lip at the thought of what he was going to do in the next 48 hours.

“Abandoned Island…you are mine!!”
