Dimensional Keeper: All My Skills Are at Level 100 Chapter 1557 About to level up?

"I'm not entirely sure," Luna answered, giving her head a light shake. "It all unfolded way too fast. We were on Orion in one instant, and suddenly we were here. That said, I picked up on something odd. Upon my arrival, my power stood at the fifth level of the Law Manifestation Realm, but it got brutally forced down to the peak of the Law Refinement Realm soon after."

Luna halted for a second before going on. "I ran into some of these beasts back when they were at the Law Manifestation Realm, but since my strength dropped, I haven't spotted any at that power again."

Her face grew graver as she shared her thoughts. "I suspect we've been sucked into a hidden realm inside Orion. If that's true, the fight between the masked guy and those elves probably shook the void crack loose, making it widen and pull us all in."

After pondering for a short while, she continued, "This realm seems capped at the peak of the Law Refinement Realm. Why else would my cultivation get slammed down to that exact point?"

Max gave a small nod while absorbing her words, grasping how the dimension's limits operated and matched his own findings.

"The strongest auras are clustering at the heart of this hidden realm, from what I sense," Max stated, his look sharpening with gravity. "If I'm right, that's our best shot at escaping."

"The heart of the hidden realm?" Luna's brow furrowed as she eyed him intently. "That's odd—I sense nothing that way. How do you pick it up?"

Max shrugged casually, his voice steady and detached. "Believe me or don't—it's up to you. If not, I'll just grab Isabella and head out alone."

Luna eyed him thoughtfully for a beat, her stare unwavering as she mulled it over. Then, after a quiet pause, she said, "I've got no solid path right now, so I'll follow your guidance for the time being."

Max's lips curved into a subtle grin. "Good enough."

"Let's get going then," Max declared, turning his focus back to the battlefield.

With a mere thought, the black flaming swords pinning the devil beasts roared back to fury, their blazes surging as they feasted on the skewered forms below. In mere seconds, swords and bodies alike vanished completely, erased without a remnant.

Luna and her companions showed little astonishment. To their eyes, Max had merely incinerated the fiends into oblivion.

Before long, the party pressed onward, straight for the core of the hidden realm.

By chance, this route matched Lucia's trajectory. Given her careful, deliberate speed, Max felt certain they'd cross paths with her shortly.

Those perilous auras he mentioned? Max knew he'd amped that up a touch to steer Luna's crew the way he wanted.

Yet the domain's core wasn't some mundane spot.

Since claiming this dimension, Max had felt a massive spatial ripple pulsing from there—something immense and chaotic, warping space on a grand scale like nothing he'd encountered.

Should his gut prove true, that ripple held the exit key or hid something vastly greater past it.

Trekking further over the barren killing fields, the team quickly learned the road ahead brimmed with peril. Again and again, those nightmarish devil beasts burst from the wastes, lunging out of nowhere to encircle them with insatiable ferocity.

But led by Max and Luna, every ambush crumbled fast. Her peak Law Refinement Realm might crushed and contained the foes with deadly skill, while his black flames unleashed total annihilation. United, they shredded every horde blocking their advance.

Whenever the beasts fell, Max ensured no remains lingered. His dark fires silently engulfed them, siphoning their essence to bolster his Infernal Energy, then the group pushed on.

Hours slipped by as they delved deeper into the realm.

A rhythm emerged all too soon.

Every few hours, as if obeying a hidden rhythm, fresh waves of those monsters would spawn. They burst forth from the desolate earth, from the cover of shattered ruins, or materialized from thin air, enveloping the team in ceaseless onslaughts.

Relentless combats started draining the rest of the group. Though they endured every skirmish, the strain never let up. The beasts showed no weakening, and their hordes didn't thin out. If possible, it seemed they were lured deeper into a region swarming with even denser packs of these fiends.

Still, ignoring the rising pressure, Max marched ahead unflinchingly, gulping down each slain monster on the path, his power surging gradually as the party delved further into the enigmatic core of the secret domain.

While advancing steadily, Max came to an abrupt stop, his face altering as a faint shift stirred inside him.

"What happened?" Luna questioned at once, her gaze sharpening as she stared at him.

"I think I am about to break through to the Law Awakening Realm," Max stated softly, his voice steady yet confident.

Just as those words left his lips, he distinctly sensed the built-up energy in his body hitting its breaking point. After consuming countless devilish beasts, every one wielding might at the Law Awakening Realm or even the Law Refinement Realm, his cultivation naturally teetered on the edge of progression.

"You are about to level up?" Luna echoed, her astonishment plain. She failed to grasp how this abrupt advancement could occur. From her observations, Max hadn't ingested any Divine Crystals or devoured special resources usually required for surging from Rebirth Realm peak to the initial Law Awakening Realm stage.

"Please keep watch for me while I break through," Max requested, shifting his eyes to Luna and Isabella.

Isabella nodded promptly, her trust in him unwavering, while Luna's eyebrows creased faintly as she weighed the matter.

"Make it quick," Luna urged moments later, her voice grave. "There is no telling what we might encounter next in this place."

Max offered a brief nod, already bracing for the breakthrough.
