Chapter 372: Stats Nearing a Trillion!
Ludicrous levels of crimson-colored energy tendrils were being emitted off the top of Azmond's katana, as a good chunk of the Twenty First Floor was quickly covered in his sword aura.
After getting his sword aura to level 5 and his sword law to level 7, his control and understanding over the essence of the sword only grew deeper.
And through such a connection, he was able to better utilize his sword aura in conjunction with his base form aura.
"...T-This is ridiculous" Amonroth muttered as he looked at the blood-colored sword aura trump over a tenth of the Twenty First Step.
He had watched this human invade the Twenty First Step with a combat strength around the Fourth Cataclysm Tribulation Transcendence Realm.
And now, six months later, his strength has already breached past the Early Mahayana Realm!
That wasn't even to mention that his cultivation base was originally in the Nascent Soul Realm, and now it was in the Middle Soul Transformation Realm!
Everything about this human was completely absurd! He was an aberration!
"...What are you?" He questioned with a terrified look on his face.
"..." Azmond looked down at the face he was standing on as he replied, "Me...? Oh, I'm just a hero for fun."
"....." Amonroth's city-sized eyes were left wide open when he heard his response.
"... I see So you're a hero? That explains your increase in strength" He added with a relieved expression.
If he were to die, he at least wanted to die in the hands of someone with great renown.
And who had better prestige than a hero?
However, he was soon taken out of his fading thoughts by Azmond, as he leaped across his face and landed on the middle of his forehead.
Following his abrupt movement, he blurted out, "Wait! What the hell did you just say!?"
"...." Amonroth felt a little sting from his jumping, but he was more focused on the panicky voice of the human invader.
"Why do you seem so surprised over the fact that there are other heroes besides yourself?" He inquired.
He had never heard of a hero who was unaware of the existence of other heroes, but it looked like he had found his first one today.
"Who cares! Just tell me what you meant by 'as expected of a hero'!" Azmond shouted.
"....." Amonroth was under no obligation to tell his enemy anything; however, he would rather not be tortured before he died, so he replied, "The heroes come from other worlds of unknown origin and rapidly grow in strength before they integrate their beliefs and ideals into Asterion's culture."
"Afterwards, they travel out into the Starry Expanse, never to be heard of again," he added.
Amonroth was going to stay silent after he finished his explanation; however, he suddenly recalled something that was related to the heroes and also to his revenge against this human.
It was also the thing that preoccupied him while Azmond was doing as he pleased on the Twenty First Floor.
That 'thing' being the 'Rehoming Project', also known as the 'Behemoth Abomination'!
Amonroth found his voice as he bellowed, "...You wish to know more about the heroes!? Very well, I'll personally show you the culmination of the efforts of a hero who stayed behind millions of years ago, during the archaic age!"
"!?" Azmond didn't understand the abrupt change in Amonroth's attitude.
However, he wasn't given the time to ponder, as the entire Twenty First Floor started to violently tremble!
RUMBLE!!
Everything from the mountains and seas to the forests and cities had immensely powerful tremors spread throughout them, as something was coming out of the crimson-shaded ground surface of the Twenty First Step!
"You wanted to know, human! So I shall show you what the hero dubbed 'The Insane One' had envisioned all those years ago! He left the 'Rehoming Project' up to us! And after millions of years of iteration after iteration of failed hybrids, we were finally able to create the perfect specimen!!"
Amonroth's delirious and crackly voice reverberated as he looked toward the source of the tremors with reverence in his gaze.
"..." A cold gleam flashed past Azmond's eyes as he gazed down at the now mindless Amonroth.
He decided to open Amonroth's system interface one more time before he put him out of his misery.
A bright light flashed.
BLING!

"..." After perusing over the new information revealed in Amonroth's status screen, Azmond swung his black and gold katana down.
Amonroth felt his impending death plummet down on him, but he still had a fire in his eyes as he roared, "You may kill me now, but you will soon die when the Behemoth Abomination appears above ground!! And your death will be far more excruciating than mine!!!"
