Chapter 129 | Ironfang Lurkers

Chapter 129: 129 | Ironfang Lurkers

Andrew’s eyes widened slightly.

Elite Monsters were already rare in the beginner stages of Heaven’s Domain. 3-Star Elite Monsters were even rarer, typically found only in Hard mode dungeons or special event areas.

Yet twenty of them stood before him, their iron horns gleaming in the chamber’s blue light, their hot breath steaming in the cold air.

If another player saw this scene, they would despair. One 4-Star Elite Monsters was a force that could wipe out an entire party of Level 10 players without breaking a sweat.

The combat power differential was simply too great. Each Ironfang Lurker had a Combat Potential equivalent to a well-equipped Level 10 player, and there were twenty of them in this place!

Andrew’s reaction was completely different.

His eyes shone with excitement. In his eyes, these weren’t monsters, they were walking attribute points. Walking skills. Walking treasure chests.

Each one represented a significant extraction opportunity, a chance to gain strength, agility, physique, and potentially new talents or abilities.

He almost drooled.

Cracking his neck, he slowly raised his blade.

Godslayer Blade trembled like a pervert who had been locked up for 20 years and then thrust into a brothel.

Crimson light erupted from the blade as it glowed.

"Looks like I just found a gold mine," he said, his voice echoing in the sealed chamber.

"Roooooar!"

The monsters charged.

Twenty Ironfang Lurkers, each one weighing several hundred kilograms and moving with surprising speed for their bulk, converged on Andrew’s position like a stampede of iron-armored oxen. The ground shook with their approach, and the sound of their hooves against stone was like thunder.

Andrew smiled and stepped forward to begin the slaughter.

Without hesitation, he activated the skill he had extracted from the Gray Rat King’s corpse.

[Berserk Skill Activated]

His muscles swelled instantly, his body expanding as raw power flooded through every fiber of his being.

A violent aura erupted from his body, a visible distortion in the air that made the blue light of the chamber flicker and dance.

His Strength increased by fifty percent—a massive boost that transformed his already impressive physical power into something truly terrifying.

Combined with his existing buffs—the Heavenbreaker Warplate’s stat bonuses, the Gold King’s Battle Set’s set effects, the various passive bonuses from his equipment—his overall physical power nearly doubled from its already elevated base.

Even the God Slayer Blade expanded in size, responding to the surge of power flowing through Andrew’s body. The weapon grew until it was nearly as tall as he was, a massive blade capable of cleaving through multiple enemies at once.

Andrew charged.

The first Ironfang Lurker met him head-on, its iron horns lowered for a piercing strike.

"Whoosh!"

Andrew sidestepped the attack with his enhanced agility and he slashed down twoace at the beast neck.

[-3800 Hp]

[-4000 Hp]

The body crashed to the ground, and Andrew was already moving toward the next target.

"Violent Strike."

The enhanced attack slammed into a second Lurker’s armored chest plate, shattering the iron-like protection and sending the creature flying backward into two of its companions. All three were knocked to the ground in a tangle of limbs and horns.

Thousand Cuts. A storm of blade lights erupted from Andrew’s sword, shredding through three more Lurkers that had been attempting to flank him. The attack was so fast and so powerful that the creatures didn’t even have time to react before they were cut to pieces.

Andrew burst forward like a comet, the God Slayer Blade trailing a line of destructive energy behind him.

He passed through four more Lurkers in a single dash, his blade carving bloody furrows through their armored bodies.

They collapsed in his wake, their iron horns clattering to the stone floor.

The battlefield turned into a slaughterhouse.

One monster. Three monsters. Ten monsters. Fifteen monsters.

"Roooooar!"

The Ironfang Lurkers fought back fiercely.

Their iron horns gored, their massive hooves trampled, and their armored heads rammed with bone-crushing force.

Several times, Andrew was hit by multiple attacks simultaneously—the combined impact sending him skidding backward across the stone floor but there wasn’t a single bit of injury on him.

Not to mention his defense, he also had a legendary armor on him.

The last five Lurkers tried a coordinated attack, circling Andrew and charging simultaneously from five different directions.

Andrew’s response was to activate War God’s Roar.

The Heavenbreaker Warplate’s active skill sent out a shockwave of pure force and intimidation that radiated outward from Andrew’s body.

The five charging Lurkers stumbled, their movements faltering as the Intimidating Aura combined with the War God’s Roar to erode their will to fight.

For three precious seconds, they hesitated—their bodies locked in place by a primal fear that overrode their combat instincts.

Three seconds was an eternity in combat.

Andrew killed all five before the fear effect wore off.

Twenty monsters. Twenty kills. None survived.

The final beast collapsed beneath his blade, its iron horns shattering against the stone floor as its massive body crashed down for the last time.

A deep rumbling sound echoed throughout the cave.

[Floor Cleared]

↳ All Elite Monsters Eliminated

↳ Path to Boss Floor Unlocked

The cave walls trembled, and the ox murals seemed to glow briefly with light.

Ancient runes lit up along the base of the walls, tracing a path toward a circular stone passage that slowly emerged from the wall on the far side of the chamber.

The passage was lined with the same blue-white light as the stairs, and it led downward at a steep angle.

Andrew did not rush forward. Instead, went forward and activated his extraction ability on the beasts.

The system chimed continuously as attributes, minor talents, and small amounts of mana flowed into him from each body.

The total gains were substantial, nearly forty points of combined attributes, plus 3 new skills.
