Absolute Dweller

‘The other shadow creatures didn’t provide experience or settlement rewards upon defeat.’

Normally, when using Absolute Dweller’s Eye, even ordinary humans, monsters, and animals like cats and dogs displayed a level.

The only exception, when levels didn’t appear, was for summoned entities, like the Iron Knights controlled by Kang Deok-soo.

Creatures brought into existence through an awakening ability had no displayed level.

‘That means all of these shadow creatures…’

They must have been summoned by that monster’s ability.

That explained why they provided no experience or rewards.

‘Level 71, huh.’

Excluding the Ice Dragon, this was the highest-leveled monster I had encountered so far.

‘But… its actual strength doesn’t feel that overwhelming.’

Right now, my avatar was fighting it alone.

If the Shadow Master truly possessed the full power of a level-71 creature, there was no way my avatar could handle it alone.

Even with my retainers taking care of everything else, allowing the avatar to focus all its strength, the level gap was absurd.

The avatar was only level 50.

Even with the Avatar title buff, which increased all stats tenfold, there was still too large a difference.

Sure, my avatar was exceptionally strong for its level.

But the monster was also exceptionally weak for its level.@@novelbin@@

‘It’s probably a combined level, factoring in all the shadow creatures it controls. And…’

I used Absolute Dweller’s Eye to observe the battle more closely.

The avatar’s entire body was clad in a dark blue aura, forming a suit of armor—a fusion of Aura Protection and black energy.

Normally, merging awakened abilities with enhancement skills resulted in a synergy boost.

But for the avatar, the efficiency was on an entirely different level.

Using Teleport, the avatar suddenly reappeared right in front of the Shadow Master.

And struck forward with its fist.

At the same time, the dark blue energy that had been spread across its body concentrated entirely into its fist.

And then—

FLASH—

A burst of black holy radiance exploded, and in an instant—

The avatar’s fist pierced through the Shadow Master’s head.
