Omni-Mastery

'This makes more sense.'

While this was my first time evolving a title, it was easy to get that the second option would surely surpass the title's first option or else it wouldn't be very logical for it to be an 'Evolved Title'.

It meant that while I had my current stats at an average of 20 points, they effect on my body was actually 22 points, it may look a bit insignificant now, but it had the potential to be a very overpowered option as my stats grew!

I was truly glad that I decided to start this training session before entering the gate as it made me more relieved to enter now after experiencing a practical increase of 14 points all at once!

That being said, as it was starting to get late, I didn't plan to make a camp of some sort and wait to start early tomorrow as I planned to not waste anymore time, not to mention that I was actually brimming with vigor from the stat increase.

[ 'Demon Base Corruption gate' (Two-floor) ( Special )

Status: Active

Current location: outside the gate ]

[ Time till outer invasion ] : [ 166d: 3h: 12m: 36s ]

There was plenty of time before the gate exploded, but to me, who didn't have much time at hand, I had less than 25 days to take down this time-ticking bomb.

I dusted my leather armor as I readied 'lightning cloud', ready for any possible ambushes as soon as I entered the gate and stepped into the dark cave…

[ 'Faint Immunity' has leveled up! ]

[ 'Faint Immunity' has reached lv.5! ]

'Ugh.'

A terrible headache assaulted my head as I opened my eyes, unlike my previous entries to gates, this one was a very terrible experience.

Luckily, I regained my vision less than five minutes later as my mind cleared up.

What welcomed me was a long tunnel ahead with no sign of a monster spotted, I moved slowly as I examined the road which seemed to look like a real normal tunnel.

'Sigh.'

I spent ten minutes moving slowly but the scenery didn't change much, so I started running through the tunnel at half my normal speed.

...…

'Really?!'

Even an hour later, nothing much has changed, I made sure to leave marks and the like to see if I was in some sort of an illusory maze but the result was nothing but negative.

It seemed like I was truly running in a very very verrrrrryyyy long tunnel!

I decided to give up on lowering my speed for extreme cautiousness as I used my whole 22 points of speed, activated my 'Body of Elements' at my legs, and initiated 'Lightning Steps'!

I gave it my all as I dashed straight ahead, even the longest tunnel in the world wouldn't last a day at my full speed (not that I knew if there was any tunnel as long as that anyway).

3… hours… later…

'YES!'

I finally saw some faint light as the end of my long vision, if my eyes weren't playing a prank on me for being too bored from the repeated scenery this should be the end of the tunnel and also the end of my misery (Boredom)...

I flashed through the opening as I tightened my grip on the sword, even the calm me was aching to fight out some monsters to relieve the stress that this tunnel has caused me.

But what I saw wasn't exactly what I expected at all, there was still no monsters running around everywhere nor there was an instant boss room before me.

'Looks like I will need every minute starting from now on…'
