Apocalypse Cheater-Chapter 62 More Shadows Soldiers Ranked Up Part 2

The evolution of the shadows wasn't limited to physical changes alone.

Their minds had also undergone an extraordinary transformation.

Among the six Unique Shadows, which now included the Disastrously Caxaer evolved from the Mutated Caxaer, a new level of intelligence had emerged.

They could converse and interact much like humans, forming a bridge between their once-beastly nature and a newfound consciousness.

These unique shadows were no longer mere creatures bound by instinct, they had evolved into entities capable of reasoning and thought.

Their speech, though still a work in progress, mirrored the expansion of their minds.

Their intellect had surpassed their ability to express themselves, a clear indicator of their rapid growth.

What stood out the most was their newfound autonomy.

Unlike before, when they followed Daniel's orders unquestioningly, these evolved shadows could now coordinate with each other without needing his direct guidance.

Their ability to attack strategically and execute complex manoeuvres showed that their minds had surpassed their master's intentions.

In Daniel's past, he often heard the saying, "If monsters could cooperate with another species, they would have been scarier."

Monsters were notorious for their pride and solitary nature, often preferring to rely solely on their own strengths.

The concept of cooperation rarely crossed their minds.

However, the transformation in these shadows challenged that notion.

The shadows' evolution had unlocked a level of cooperation that was previously unimaginable.

When they united their powers, their collective strength became overwhelming, surpassing even the most fearsome adversaries.

The shadows had transcended their solitary instincts and had become a united force that could challenge even the mightiest of opponents.

The progression of the shadows was accompanied by a significant enhancement in Daniel's own abilities.

The bonuses from every hundred levels had an immense impact on his stats, bolstering his overall power.

The pattern of these stat increases was straightforward, at Level 100, his stats received a boost of 200.

With each successive hundred levels, he gained an additional 100 in each component.

From Level 100 to 600, he acquired a total of 2.7k Stat Points, excluding SP.

When adding the SP gained from the beginning of Level 1, the combined Sp in each category reached 4.2k.

His journey to achieving the Sovereign class had unlocked even more potential.

The transition to the Sovereign class granted him 200 Sp automatically.

And with the Advanced Mastery, he gained an additional 500 Sp.

Consequently, his stats, without passive boosts, now reached an impressive 4.9k.

The magnitude of this growth was something Daniel could hardly have imagined in the past.

The sheer number of stats he now possessed left him in awe of his own progress.

However, he remained grounded and diligent, recognizing that his skills were equally crucial to his advancement.

Skills like the Immortal Phoenix Transformation, Djin Equip, and Djin Weapon hadn't been neglected amidst his other accomplishments.

As he continued to refine and enhance his abilities, he understood that a balanced combination of stats, skills, and strategic thinking was the key to surmounting the challenges that lay ahead.

Climbing higher up the tower was no easy feat, as Daniel had to face the ever-increasing abilities and prowess of the Unique Bosses' attacks.

On some floors, he encountered monsters wielding invisible and soul-based skills, causing him damage like he had never experienced before.

To counter these challenges, he often relied on his Immortal Phoenix Transformation.

Triggering this transformation turned him into a blazing blue phoenix with majestic wings.

The metamorphosis significantly boosted all of his stats by more than double. I

n this form, he resembled a radiant Blue Phoenix, and his vulnerability to soul attacks was nullified as long as he remained in this state.

The title "Immortal" carried its weight, and his transformation granted him an invulnerability that allowed him to decimate any monsters that held an advantage over him.

Floor 500 stood out as a reminder of his growth, there, he had faced a Unique Boss who caught him off guard, resulting in his arms being brutally torn off.

In a burst of blue flames, the torn arms were swiftly engulfed, reattaching themselves to his body as if the phoenix's fire held the power of regeneration itself.

Fueled by rage, he transformed into the phoenix and unleashed its ferocity upon the Unique Boss, using its mighty beak to brutally tear the monster's head from its shoulders.

Between Floors 401 and 499, Daniel made a crucial decision to focus on using skills he had rarely used before, the Djinn Equip skills. The disparity between? Cry of the Corpse(B) lay in their levels of superiority.

Although the skill itself heavily consumed mana.

Yet, Daniel's high mana regeneration rate, coupled with his strengthening, enabled him to harness the skill to its fullest extent without fear of draining his mana reserves.

At Floor 600 Unique Boss, the monsters possessed nearly impenetrable defences.

His struggle to break through their fortitude prompted him to unleash the Infinite Mass Punch by using the speed of light.

Surprisingly, this move managed to land a critical blow, unveiling its potential as his ultimate punch.

Daniel's experiences led him to realize a cheat that bestowed him with an unequivocal edge against powerful foes.

This signified that his strongest punch, the Infinite Mass Punch, should be enough to tackle any formidable monsters in the future.

This realization spurred him to explore another untapped resource, the Ruler's Authority, a sovereign skill that had yet to be utilized.

Upon employing the skill for the first time, genuine shock gripped him. 𝘣𝘦𝘥𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝑚

As the truth of the skill's potential unravelled, he couldn't help but exclaim, "This is a lowkey overpowered ability."

His widened eyes mirrored his astonishment at the hidden capabilities of the Ruler's Authority.

He pondered whether the skill leaned more towards manipulation or control, and upon testing it, he discerned its control-based nature rather than pure manipulation.

This revelation added another dimension to his already vast arsenal of powers and tactics.

The Ruler's Authority opened a gateway to uncharted realms of control and manipulation.

Within its grasp, all three fundamental states of matter, solid, liquid, and gas, bent to Daniel's will.

The epic scale of his newfound ability seemed boundless, unleashing a symphony of control over the very essence of existence.

This skill did not grant Daniel the power to transmute matter or morph it between states.

Its domain was mastery over the manipulation of pre-existing matter, reframing the laws of nature in his favour.

Though it could not alter matter's intrinsic nature, it permitted him to conduct a dazzling ballet of control across the battlefield.

As he delved into the depths of the Ruler's Authority, he uncovered its potential as a strategic marvel.

Within its grasp, he could commandeer his weaponry, guiding them like relentless predators towards his adversaries.

Blades, projectiles, and tools transformed into guided missiles, finding their mark with unerring precision.

The power of control was not limited to his own armament.

With a flick of thought, he redirected the weapons of his enemies, rendering their own devices instruments of their downfall.

His foes were left helpless as their weapons turned against them, an astonishing display of strategic mastery that shifted the tides of battle.

In combat's crucible, the Ruler's Authority surged as an indomitable force.

A weapon of precision, it emboldened his every move, transforming the very battlefield into an orchestra of matter under his command.

And so, with this newfound power, Daniel stood at the precipice of a new dawn in his journey, ready to reshape the world around him to his advantage.
