Chapter 178 - Only 'Dark'? What About The 'Cave'?!
Unification!
The Ki inside my energy core started changing as it was undergoing some sort of chemical change, I could feel stings of pain coming from my heart as if someone dropped a drop of molten steel deep inside, it was only thanks to my 'Pain Immunity' & 'Heat Immunity' that I managed to take it with a grain of salt…
[ 'Heat Immunity' has leveled up! ]
[ 'Pain Immunity' has leveled up! ]
[ 'Heat Immunity' has leveled up! ]
[ 'Heat Immunity' has leveled up! ]
[ 'Heat Immunity' has leveled up! ]
[ 'Heat Immunity' has leveled up! ]
[ 'Heat Immunity' has reached the intermediate rank and evolved to 'Fire Immunity'! ]
'Phew…'
Thanks to the unprecedented skill evolution that took place in my 'Immunity' skill, I was finally able to breathe in relief as the internal heat subsided, I could also feel that the Ki transformation was coming to an end!
I slowly used my mental energy to scan the energy core which was twice as big and shining faintly, I scanned the Ki inside of it as my synchro with the Ki was still stabilising after the churning transformation ended.
As soon as my mental eye was laid at the Ki I could only remember one scene, the smooth interchanging between my two elements!
'It seemed like the path that 'Weapon-Mastery' followed didn't differ much than its origin skill 'Omni-Mastery'...'
These thoughts flashed through my head as I looked at the Ki which interchanged constantly, albeit at a speed slower than my elements, but it showed signs of developing to the same route of 'Omni'...

Day 15!
I woke up early to get ready for the last obstacle in my way to the end gate of the underground hall, which should be the way to the next floor supposedly housing real demons, not fake ones like that counterfeit dark assassin.
15 days couldn't be described as an impressive record for conquering the underground hall, considering that I only had 10 days left to explore the mysterious second floor, but I didn't have much of a choice to begin with, it could only be blamed on my tight schedule and how very little I knew about the two floor gates to begin with…
I summoned out 'Lightning Cloud' from the ring as I headed towards the last gate on the right side, wanting to finish them as fast as possible, I felt incredibly confident this time with the support of my 'Elemental Domain' boosting over 2 meters in diameter and my Tier-4~5 weapon abilities which give an incredible amount of Ki at the level of a Tier-6 weapon master or even a peak Tier-6 weapon master who is only half a step away from evolving into a Sword Dominator!
Of course, the quality was only peak Tier-5 at best, but that was more than enough to kill 500 minotaurs who only had physical prowess and cooperative formations!
However… as soon as I touched the back void at the entrance of the last cave, something that's quite unexpected took place!
The void suddenly agglomerated and coagulated into a black ball, and only then did I see the gate at the other side of the underground hall, behaving in the same way through my 'Omni-viewing Eye'...
The two balls behaved as if they were the two different sides of a magnet and headed towards each other, all before getting crashing into each other just in front of the end gate…
The crushed particles were quickly turned into fluid like matter once again, forming a gate like any other, the only difference was just that it was suspended in mid-air with no cave behind it to show why it was named as 'dark cave' by the people of the domain...
I stepped back as I watched cautiously, preparing to engage in battle in case monsters rushed out of it like a flood, I had countless scenarios playing out in my mind as I prepared for the worst…
But even then, I was still helpless when it came to the actual situation…
Vrrrmmm!
