Dimensional Keeper: All My Skills Are at Level 100-Chapter 608: Leveling Up Twice!
Chapter 608: Leveling Up Twice!
Commander Leone stood tall, his expression unusually solemn as he leveled his spear toward the black cube. Every inch of his body radiated a sharp, unyielding aura—the embodiment of years of relentless spear training.
Spear Concept surged from him like invisible waves, and at that moment, he channeled all of it to the very tip of his weapon, forming a terrifyingly precise point of destruction.
A low hum echoed through the hall as his energy condensed, sharp enough to slice the air around him.
Taking a deliberate stance, his feet steady and his grip unshakable, he thrust his spear forward with a roar, unleashing all his power into a single, concentrated strike.
Bang!
The moment his spear struck the cube, it vanished into it like water into sand. There was no recoil, no spark, just eerie silence—and then, the cube lit up faintly as glowing numbers appeared: 3698.
"Brother Shen, I got more than you!" Leone barked out a laugh, his face breaking into a wide grin as he turned toward Shen. His pride swelled, not in competition, but in the rare feeling of triumph after years of unshifting hardship.
The cube made a soft grinding sound before a small red orb emerged from a slit at the center. Though similar to the one Commander Shen had received, this one pulsed with noticeably denser energy, vibrating with a subtle heat. Even those nearby could sense its potent strength.
Commander Shen’s lips twitched as he fought the pang of jealousy rising in his chest. "Tch, lucky bastard," he muttered with a smirk.
"Haha, good, good!" Commander Leone chuckled heartily as he caught the orb and sat down cross-legged without wasting a moment. His hands glowed faintly as he absorbed the red orb of energy into his body.
Within moments, the orb dissolved, and his aura surged violently before stabilizing—he had broken through. From 5th level Master Rank to 6th level Master Rank.
His shoulders trembled, and his eyes welled up. "Good..." he whispered again, this time softly, as tears trickled down his weathered face. He hadn’t cried in years—not when he faced death, not when he accepted his limits—but this... this moment of resurgence, this second chance... was overwhelming.
"Now, it’s my turn." Elias grinned, eyes gleaming with anticipation as he stepped forward, drawing a sleek sword from his back. The air around him grew sharp, tense, as he released his Sword Concept—perfection stage of level 1.
A dense wave of sword intent surged outward, making the air itself vibrate with invisible blades. At the same time, a radiant green glow enveloped his body, forming a thick, shimmering layer of energy that clung to him like armor.
Max watched carefully from the side, narrowing his eyes at the sight. ’That green energy... is that the Reverse Technique? The same inheritance technique Silus used?’ he wondered, recognizing the signature flow of energy that reversed physical and spiritual impact. Silus had used it before in battle—and now Elias was showcasing a more refined version of it.
As the tension in the room reached its peak, Elias adjusted his grip and took a firm stance. He merged the full power of his Sword Concept with the Reverse Technique, channeling everything into one attack. His breathing slowed, then deepened, before he slashed forward with explosive force.
"One Sword Slash the Sky!"
A blinding arc of green-tinged sword light erupted from his blade and crashed into the black cube. The energy was so immense that the very floor cracked beneath his feet. And yet, the cube devoured it all in silence, swallowing the overwhelming force like a black hole, leaving behind nothing but a deathly stillness.
’That attack... it’s too strong!’ Max thought, his expression darkening as the pressure from Elias’s earlier strike still lingered faintly in the air. The sheer force behind it had been overwhelming—brutal and refined, filled with concept mastery and raw energy.
He could feel it in his bones, in his instincts. It wasn’t an attack he could take head-on. Not now. Not even close.
’The difference in our base strength... it’s a massive gap. An unbridgeable one at the moment.’ Max thought calmly. He wasn’t unfamiliar with fighting above his level. Back in the Lower Domain, he had overwhelmed people a full realm above him. One rank, one and a half rank, even more—if they weren’t talented, if they weren’t monsters, he could kill them.
But that was the Lower Domain. Everything was different here. In the Middle Domain, especially among the Four God Nation’s elite, geniuses weren’t just talented—they were cultivated, shaped, enhanced from birth. Their concepts were deeper, their foundations more stable, their techniques lethal and efficient.
A half-step in rank here was equal to a chasm elsewhere. And it hit Max hard—he had fought hard to get here, but now he was truly standing on the edge of a higher world. A world where strength wasn’t just about cleverness and survival—it was about overwhelming might.
’I guess this is also what Blob meant... The gap in each level from Expert Rank increases as the rank increases.’ Max thought calmly.
Then... glowing numbers appeared.
4687
"Hmph, only that?" Elias frowned for a moment, clearly displeased by the score. But a second later, the irritation vanished from his face, replaced with excitement. Despite the dissatisfaction, the score was still significantly higher than the commanders’—almost twelve hundred points more.
That difference alone suggested the reward he would receive might allow him to break through not just once, but twice. The thought made his heart beat faster.
With a soft humming sound, the cube opened, releasing a brilliant red orb of light that floated steadily before him. This one was different—it radiated intense power, visibly stronger than the orbs the commanders had received.
Elias could feel it: the energy pulsing from within the orb was wild and condensed, nearly overflowing.
"Good," he murmured with a smirk, reaching out to claim his prize. This was what he came here for.
Without wasting even a second, Elias crossed his legs and sat down in place, clutching the vibrant red energy orb with both hands. His expression turned serious as he began to absorb it, drawing the condensed power into his body with controlled breaths and deep focus.
Compared to the two commanders who had absorbed their orbs within moments, Elias’s process was slower—likely due to the sheer density and intensity of the energy contained in his orb.
It took a few solid minutes, his body trembling slightly as it adjusted to the influx of overwhelming energy. Then suddenly, it happened.
A violent wave of aura exploded from him like a burst dam, rippling outward and making the air around him quake. Power surged through his meridians, his spiritual sea, his muscles—every fiber of his being began to evolve and ascend.
First, his strength leveled up through from the 5th level of Master Rank to the 6th. His energy hadn’t even settled when it began rising again, skyrocketing straight to the 7th level of Master Rank.
The shock of such rapid progress brought even Aria and the two commanders to turn their heads with widened eyes. It was rare—nearly unheard of—for someone to level up twice in a row, especially within the Master Rank, where every breakthrough required not just energy but understanding, refinement, and a deep sense of control.
