[Dragon Ancestor's Lance of Destruction - Unique Weapon (Lv. 2)

Durability: 110,000/110,000

Quality: Perfect

Damage: 3,600-7,600

Description: A one of its kind spear that has never existed in the history of Faust. It is made from the broken shaft of the Dragonlance, Holy Gold, and a little bit of Mithril, God's Steel and Soul Essence. During its creating, it was mixed with Lunar Dew and the heart blood of the Ancestor Dragon, granting it Supreme might and a sentient spirit that can grow the weapon's power endlessly as long as it is wielded by someone worthy.]

After growing by a single level, it had gained an extra 10,000 points of Durability, which was extremely welcome. It would be a shame if, despite the weapon's awesome power, it was snapped in half by an entity like Thanatos.

However, the greater direct benefit was that its damage had increased by a whole 100 points, for both the minimum and maximum damage range!

Darius wasn't sure if it had a level cap, but even if it was 100 like some of his skills, it would mean that – as long as every level boosted the weapon by 100 points of damage to both ends - the final damage range of the item upon completion would be 13,500 - 17,500!

At that point, he might even be able to use it to ono-shot a super-powerful Grandmaster, and it would surely be able to at least lightly damage a weak God. This motivated Darius to continue and to empower his weapon further.

Where else would he get better facilities to upgrade his weapon than right here, right now?

Hundreds of Master Insects and even Grandmasters would be perfect for the weapon to climb more than a few levels.

Only the Insect race might have such a huge number of Master stage enemies! What's more there was literally no repercussion for killing them!

The other continents either had them scattered about or affiliated with a stronger power. Not to mention that their numbers were not that high due to various political and social issues.

Here though… just look at them!

Hundreds of thousands of them emerged continually on the battlefield, trying to wear the three of them down using superior numbers, all in futility!

Gunner kicked the earth before him, leaping all the way back to where Xela was shielded.

The half-giant then thrust his Omega Blow towards the Isolation Ward, exploding upon its body. All the Insects of it screeched in pain as they were blown off.

Darius teleported rapidly within a second, appearing near a flying Insect and stabbing it within an instant before appearing near another. By the time these multitudes of Insects landed upon the earth, they were long dead.

Their blood was ripped from their body, along with some entrails, slowly wafting through the air towards their destination.

With his free hand, Darius cast Wind Blade Barrage at a nearby group of bugs, which was not enough to kill them, but more than enough to hamper them.

He then proceeded to weave through them, striking only once before moving on. Impressed by his master's prowess, Gunner was not one to be overshadowed like this.

He stretched his hand out and dragged a Master bug over using his Soldering Gauntlets' special ability, as he charged an Earthen punch with the other hand. When the greenish-brown fist collided with the head of the target which had been hurtling over, the outcome was as expected.

Its skull was blown open, leaving a dead and twitching corpse beneath Gunner's feet. Gunner then cast the Vanguard special skill Engage, which forced all enemies within a range of 200 meters to concentrate on him.

Suddenly, a large chunk of the Master Insects paused from their clamoring to get to the front and swarm any foe, then turned to focus on Gunner. The short spell of silence was creepy with their various eyes glancing upon him as if he was the only thing in their world.

Gunner didn't wait for them to snap out of their trance and rushed at him. He stretched out both his hands and cast Eraser Cannon from each of them. Two huge greenish energy beams blasted out, tearing through a line of bugs before him before exploding in a small mushroom cloud near the back.

Gunner breathed out a bit roughly from that. As he had learned these skills and got them approved by the Supreme System, he could also use them manually to avoid the 1-second per active skill limitation of the Supreme System.

Since their power was dependent on the amount of power he infused into them, he had invested a huge chunk of his MP, knowing that it would regenerate back quickly with the buffs from Xela.

That was why the two beams did so much damage even without activating his Earth's Guardian.

The skill usually cost only 100 MP and dealt 1,056% earth damage at level 40, but Gunner had invested a damn near 2,500 MP into it.

Naturally, the effect would be much better, though since he split it into two beams, it was not as crazy. Still, the system-based version was no chump, especially with his super high Strength stats currently.

Seeing his actions, the various Master Insects that were enthralled with him became spooked, but the effects of a mental skill like Engage was absolute. They found themselves rushing at Gunner willingly or unwillingly.

As for the half-giant, he couldn't have asked for anything more. He grinned like a beast and charged forward with both arms outstretched, a greenish-brown light forming upon them.

Earthen Lariat!

The Insects before him were like bowling pins and Gunner was like an unforgiving bowling ball. They were knocked aside like flies blown away by a fan. Once Gunner finally stopped his charge, he had already reached the other end of the cavern.

All Insects in the path behind him had either been knocked on top of each other or were incapacitated by a short stun. This time, Gunner activated his system-based Eraser Cannon and shot it towards a heap of the bugs that were the largest of the lot.

The green light collided with the heap, and then in the next second, erupted with a small explosion that was bright and hot.
