While Others Cultivate, I LVL UP In My Sleep Using The Dungeon System

Chapter 481 - One Chance



Marco continued his attacks aimed at Adam instinctively, and launched himself towards him, while Adam could barely move and quickly used the Step Skip Skill to act.

The moment of hesitation that Marco experienced was all Adam needed to find out what exactly Milo had done in order to make Marco suddenly go wild and increase his power like that.

If he wasn't able to end it soon, not only would he have no choice of winning against him, but Marco was also likely to suffer irreversible damage due to the strain that the power is likely to put on his body that can't handle it.

Confronting him about it and accusing him of intervening or cheating wouldn't do Adam any good and things had turned out just as he had hoped they wouldn't.

Withdrawing his Death Devouring Daggers, Adam had one chance to stop Marco in his tracks without harming him too much and while also finding how exactly Milo had managed to cheat.

Adam had a fraction of a second before Marco's next attack reached him and by using his Mind Ring's power to its fullest, he finally realised what it was.

There was a minuscule refraction of light behind Marco's neck and it would have been impossible for anyone else to notice it, but with Adam's keen senses and unbelievable focus, he was able to do so.

He didn't make it obvious to Milo that he did and also made it seem as though he couldn't move as he stood there seemingly helplessly as Marco attacked him.

Suddenly, just as Marco's rapid and powerful attack was about to hit Adam, he disappeared and appeared a metre away from Marco.

Adam hadn't used the Step Skip Skill or switch to his Soul Form to do so.

It was all thanks to the Ghost Step Movement Skill that he had stolen off the Silent Ghost and managed to master to a point that even surpassed the Silent Ghost that created it.

The essence of the Moment Skill was to create an illusion that made it seem as though one had disappeared and it was done by sudden, rapid movements using energy following a specific method to produce such effects.

Adam had also made his own addition that would allow him to follow up with the Step Skip Skill and Marco who was already shocked by Adam's sudden disappearance, couldn't react to his attack.

Knowing he only had once chance, despite his low HP, SP and energy stores, Adam unleashed any power he had let to ensure that he came out on top, while he also didn't want to harm Marco who seemed to be fighting unconsciously.

Appearing behind Marco, with his Death Devouring Daggers that granted him a small power boost that allowed him to pull off his previous manoeuvre, Adam slashed at the back of Marco's neck.

With such a big opening he could have dealt him a decisive blow that killed him, but doing so would only cost Adam as Marco would become his subordinate after he won the battle.

All he needed to do was cut deep enough to take out the needle that Milo had used to increase his power, and he succeeded, while in the process also recovered slightly by siphoning some of Marco's energy and blood.

As soon as he did, Marco stumbled backwards and fell onto the ground, suddenly overcome by a wave of fatigue and pain all over his body, and Milo couldn't believe what he just witnessed.

Even he couldn't react to Adam's manoeuvre and attack that he couldn't believe Adam actually managed to pull off, since a few moments before he seemed to be on the verge of death.

While he couldn't help but want to get his hands on Adam no matter the cost.

Such an incredible specimen was one in a billion and maybe the only of his kind in the entire world, with so many different capabilities, secrets and infinite potential.

Little did he know Adam was the only of his kind in the universe and that he was yet to show all of his capabilities, with some of his hidden trump cards being much more amazing than what he had already shown.

[Milo, one day you will regret trying to cheat, but for now there is nothing I can do to you] thought Adam to himself as he called Rex over and prepared to leave.

"I have one and keep your word about granting me freedom in this country," stated Adam as he began walking away.

He acted as though he was fine, but he could barely walk straight and had needed to push himself quite a lot during his battle with Marco, especially while trying to learn his Bombardment Style.

Staggering away with Rex by his side, Adam suddenly sensed danger and without thinking, he kicked Rex away and used the Step Skip Sill to get away.

If he had reacted a millisecond later, a blade of energy would have sliced his back and after sustaining such a deep wound, he would be completely defenceless and wouldn't be able to stay conscious.

Knowing Milo could possibly try to go back on his word, Adam was on high alert and that was the only reason he would be able to react so quickly, but trying to dodge an attack of that speed and power in a real battle would be extremely difficult.

Rex was shocked by Adam suddenly kicking it, but immediately afterwards saw the blade of energy strike the ground and leave a deep scar, making it feel grateful for Adam saving it.

While it also felt useless and weak, relying on his master even when they were fatigued and injured.

"You are one amazing individual. Even in the state you are in, you were able to avoid that attack and save that monster by your side. Even Marco would struggle to do that," said Milo as he approached Adam.

He had an evil smile and his true nature and intentions had been revealed, while Adam wasn't surprised by his actions in the slightest and was still staying calm.
