Ding!

[The [Appraisal: Lv10] Skill Effect has been Activated.]

[Youʼve entered the [Haunt: Miasmic Jungles of Jath-hu]

[Description: An ancient jungle that has been infected by the Miasma of the Old Gods from ancient times. A tribe of Demons have called this jungle their home for generations, until the Genie took over their temple as his throne and sent beasts to eliminate them.]

[Three Powerful Jungle Kings are roaming the Miasmic Jungles of Jath-hu, defeat all three of them for the Miasmic Barrier Formation to temporarily disappear.]

[Special Tip: It might be easier to defeat them and locate them with the help of the Jath-hu, the Demon Tribe that lives in these Jungles.]

I explained to my comrades about what I had learned by using Appraisal at Level 10. Most of them were surprised my Appraisal Skill was so high level to begin with. Most of their Skill Levels didnʼt surpass 7 while I had one at 10 for a while now.

”Well yeah it is Level 10, but thatʼs not exactly the point here. It is a special skill that displays information and tips at this level, so I guess we could follow its advice.” I recommended.

”I had never heard of such people existing before.” Said Luminous. ”But I guess it is worth giving it a shot. Weʼve already trusted people back then and I suppose we cannot go wrong by helping those that are being oppressed by the Genie.”

”Yes! I want to do it!” Elfina was motivated. ”If we can help these people, we can have more allies and… We may redeem ourselves a bit.”

”Very well, where should we go first then?” Wondered Sol. ”This Jungle seems like a labyrinth by itself. It is hard to locate ourselves here, unless I were to burn it all…”

”Well, canʼt we just fly and seek them?” Brunhild asked.

”With the barrier there, thatʼs a bad idea. We may not touch it but just by being in the skies within the range, it generates an energy-draining aura, it would weaken us over time.” Luminous said. ”For now, letʼs walk.”

”Then maybe I can-” Frank was about to say something but I interrupted him.

”Wait, wait, I can do it… [Appraisal] + [Starlight Eyes] = [Star Seeking Eyes]!”

FLAASH!

I combined my Appraisal with my Eyes to seek the areas where these Demons were located. The combination of both Skills created an amazing tandem, whatever I wanted to seek was within my grasp this way!

In mere seconds, I quickly detected several dots spread around the large jungles. The Jath-hu were all living in small groups of people, hiding within large areas with caves, some were closer to the Jungle Kings than others.

”Hmm, the closest Jungle King is to the southwest. Letʼs go.” I said, quickly leading my party.

BBBBZZZZZTTTT!

As we were moving there, suddenly, the sound of a swarm of insectʼs moving their wings rapidly while flying echoed at the distance. It was a gigantic swarm of mosquitoes; each one was big as two meters.

Ding!

[The [Appraisal: Lv10] Skill Effect has been Activated.]

[Youʼve been spotted by a large swarm of [Carnivorous Blood-Sucking Aberrant Mosquitos (B+++ Rank)] x326!]

[Theyʼre very hungry and thirsty!]

”Ah, be careful with the mosquitoes~” I sighed, waving my hand and unleashing an Aura of Dominion combined with the power of my Swarm Dao.

Ding!

[Youʼve activated the effects of the [Dao of Dominion] and the [Dao of Swarms] at the same time!]

[Youʼve created a powerful [Dominion Aura] over these weaker beings!]

[Some of the Swarm have immediately decided to serve you.]

[Some of the Swarm have rejected your dominion and attack!]

FLUOOOOSH!

A red Aura encompassed them, some resisted while others became our friends immediately, about 20% of them obeyed me and stayed out of trouble, but the other 80% simply flew directly towards us to eat some lunch.

”I guess I cannot have all the things I want, huh?” I swung my hand, as my Aura converged with many Divine Authorities and Daos together into a massive, black-colored metallic claw.

Ding!

[The Power of [Ouroboros] has converged with the Grand Supreme Dao of Primordial Gluttony and several other Skills, Divine Authorities, and Daos!]

[Youʼve temporarily created a Divine Living Artifact out of the materialization of these powers: [Abyssal Claw of Gluttony]!]

”[Abyssal Claw of Gluttony] Tear them to shreds.”

CLAAAAASSSH! SLAAASH! CRAAASH!

”BBBZZZZZTTT!”

Hundreds of these giant mosquitoes were crushed into pieces, splattered over the floor and left as nothing but piles of meat and guts, I ate a few of them through my Aura of Gluttony, Ouroboros Embodied herself as she was quite hungry too.

”Chomp, chomp…. Hmm, taste bad.” She sighed.

”Yeah, I told you the werenʼt going to be good.” I sighed.

Ding!

[You have slain [Carnivorous Blood-Sucking Aberrant Mosquitos (B+++ Rank)] x276!]

[You earned 13850000 EXP]

[LEVEL UP!]

[Your Level has increased from Level 74 to Level 75!]

[All your Stats have increased.]

[You earned Skill Points and Stat Points.]

[You have absorbed the power of these creatures; new Skills have become available in the Skill Library.]

[The [Carnivorous Blood-Sucking Aberrant Mosquitos (B+++ Rank)] x50 have become your Dominated Subjects.]

[Silva] has absorbed them into her Dungeon, turning them into new Dungeon Monsters.]

Silva took care of the new crew of insect friends, as she absorbed them like Kirby and then turned them into Dungeon Monsters, added to our army.

”And done.” I sighed, walking towards our goal. Everyone else saw the scene with a bit of surprise, but mostly everyone except Elfina was already used to these scenes. Weʼve fought so many monsters that dealing with a swarm of overpowered mosquitoes was no big deal.

”T-That was cool…” Elfina said while being slightly surprised.

”Well, youʼll get used to this, Elfina.” Sol sighed. ”Anyways, I can feel eyes looking at us though…”

Weʼve only walked for a kilometer but we have already begun to sense several stares from all around us. The show I made of killing all those mosquitoes must have drawn the attention of the Jath-hu quicker than we expected.

Ding!

[The [Appraisal: Lv10] Skill Effect has been Activated.]

[Several eyes are glaring at you suspiciously.]
