Devouring Dragon Heir-Chapter 37: Ch Eating Frost Fang dungeon - 3

SKILL: Omniscient Tracking (SSS)

This skill grants the host unparalleled, omnidirectional sensory and analytical capabilities, transforming their perception into a living, real-time tactical overview of their surroundings.

EFFECTS:

Omni-Directional Spatial Mapping:

-Instantly generates a detailed, 3D topographical map of a base 5-kilometer (5,000-meter) radius around the host. This comprehensive map is projected directly in front of the host’s eyes like a holographic display, showing intricate details such as terrain contours, geological structures, elevation changes, and even hidden passages or subterranean caverns with perfect accuracy.

-The base range of 5 kilometers expands significantly and progressively with the host’s increasing strength, overall level, and the growth of their innate mana capacity.

-The map updates in real-time, displaying any dynamic changes in the surroundings, including movement or alterations to the environment.

Advanced Kinetic & Signature Tracking:

-Detects and tracks all moving targets within the currently mapped area, displaying them as distinct, color-coded markers on the mental map.

-This highly advanced tracking differentiates between various types of entities, accurately identifying living beings, magical constructs, mechanical devices, and even specific energy signatures

- host can mark anyone and their real-time location will be shown on the map at all times.

Remote Sensory Extension (Summon Link):

-The host can seamlessly link this skill to any active summons or controlled entities, allowing them to effectively act as remote "eyes" and "ears" for the skill.

-Any area surveyed or perceived by a linked summon automatically appears on the host’s mental map, extending the effective mapping and tracking range of the skill regardless of the physical distance between the host and the summon.

Spatial Memory Archive:

-The skill automatically records and securely stores real-time maps and sensory data of all previously scanned locations and realms.

-This creates a comprehensive, continuously updated personal database of explored territories, eliminating the need for manual navigation or mapping. The archived data can be accessed instantly.

Threat Analysis & Weakness Identification:

-Automatically highlights and categorizes potential threats within the mapped area, displaying their approximate power level, danger rating, and even potential weaknesses or vulnerabilities.

-This includes environmental hazards, powerful enemies, or areas of high magical concentration.

Resource & treasure Detection:

-Highlights the precise presence and location of valuable resources (such as rare minerals, unique plants, or concentrated mana nodes), hidden artifacts, and significant magical anomalies.

Klaus was speechless at the comprehensive description of his new Omniscient Tracking (SSS) skill. It surpassed his expectations dramatically.

"It almost feels illegal, will I break the world soon if grow at this pace" he finally muttered, a rare expression of genuine awe and slight disbelief coloring his tone.

"fck this is the ultimate skill for stocking people" Klaus thought.

a few hours later ....

"FUCK, FUCK, FUCK!"

"WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING?!"

A man clad in heavy, gleaming armor screamed, his voice raw with frustration, as he threw his polished broadsword onto the icy ground.

weapon clanged loudly against the frozen surface, skidding a few meters before coming to a stop. His face, visible through the open visor of his helmet, was contorted with pure, unadulterated rage.

He was Leo, the second son of the chairman of the Iron Industries,

a colossal business empire that spanned multiple sectors, from manufacturing to resource extraction and significantly, Guild and Dungeon management.

"Calm down, Leo,"

a woman beside him, her voice gentle yet firm, attempted to console him.

She was Daisy, an S-rank hunter, identifiable by the subtle aura of immense power that constantly emanated from her.

She wore a more flexible, dark-colored combat suit, designed for agility rather than heavy protection, and her short, practical haircut framed a face that was usually serene but now held a hint of concern.

She was the leader of his personal bodyguard team, hired by his father to ensure his safety and progress. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

"You want me to calm down, Daisy?" Leo shouted, his voice cracking with exasperation. He gestured wildly at the empty, desolate expanse of ice around them.

"I have a fucking academy entrance in a few weeks! I am relentlessly grinding for skill books from the dungeons of our family’s company, but the drop rate is so fucking low! And now this?!"

His frustration was palpable, a tangible heat in the frigid air.

Leo had been grinding the dungeons owned by his father’s company for weeks, specifically aiming to get stronger for the upcoming Guardian Academy entrance competition.

Being a B-rank hunter, he was always accompanied by a small, elite group of A-ranked bodyguards, led by Daisy, who ensured his safety and facilitated his hunts.

He had entered the Frost Fang Dungeon a few hours ago, full of hope.

His objective was to slay Yetis and acquire their powerful, ice-related skills, which were highly sought after and could significantly boost his combat prowess.

But all he had met were empty glaciers. They had traversed kilometers of icy terrain, following their trackers and scouting reports, but found nothing.

They had even travelled to the place specifically marked as the main Yeti tribe’s living area, a vast, ancient ice cavern known for its dense population of monsters.

To their utter surprise, almost every monster, including the formidable S-rank boss, was missing.

The cavern was eerily silent, devoid of the usual roars and grunts of the Yeti population.

Only a few younglings, the weakest and least valuable of the Yetis, remained, scattered sparsely throughout the outer regions of the dungeon.

These few kills did not fetch him anything useful, neither skill books nor significant drops.

His frustration boiled over.

The entire day, a precious day of grinding, had been utterly wasted.

The dungeon, which was known to reset its monster population only once every twenty-four hours,

had apparently reset itself prematurely, or perhaps something even stranger had occurred. One day wasted.

One day closer to the academy entrance, and no closer to his goal.

Leo hated the entire process of grinding and fighting.

He considered it a tedious, unpleasant chore.

He just wanted to spend his time around beautiful women and lavish parties, enjoying the immense wealth and privilege that came with being the son of a powerful industrialist.

If only this world worked solely on wealth and influence, and not on strength, he wouldn’t even have bothered with such strenuous activities.

He could simply buy his way to the top.

From the time of his awakening, years ago, ranking up had been a relatively simple process for Leo.

Under the careful guidance of his father’s numerous subordinates, who managed his training and arranged his hunts, he had steadily climbed the ranks.

His father’s influence ensured he always had access to the best equipment, the safest dungeons, and the most favorable conditions.

But today, despite all his advantages, he had experienced a day of his life utterly wasted.

He was the son of the chairman of the Iron Industries, a fact he often used to remind himself, and others, of his inherent superiority.

Leo often used to remind himself of this fact again and again, almost as a mantra.

Perhaps there was a subconscious feeling of wanting to hide his own incompetence, his lack of true talent or dedication, by constantly invoking his father’s powerful name.

This mindset, this reliance on inherited status rather than earned merit, had made him similar to a third-rate villain in the web novels Klaus used to read the kind of character who was simply waiting to be face-slapped by the protagonist, utterly unprepared for genuine challenge.

As Leo struggled to get a hold of his anger, to rein in his frustration, a sudden, subtle shift in the air was noticed by him.

It was a faint ripple, a momentary distortion in the ambient mana, almost imperceptible.

Then, what he saw next horrified him.

The very reality around them seemed to glitch itself.

The solid ice walls of the dungeon, the distant glaciers, the ground beneath their feet all shimmered, warped, and then fractured into countless shimmering pixels, like a broken holographic display.

"The fuck??" Leo exclaimed, his rage momentarily forgotten, replaced by sheer disbelief and a primal fear.

Daisy, the S-rank bodyguard, and the other A-rank guards were flustered as well.

Their eyes widened, their combat-hardened instincts screaming that something profoundly unnatural was occurring.

They drew their weapons, but there was no visible enemy, only the impossible distortion of reality.

Before they could anticipate anything, before they could even utter a single word of warning or prepare for a magical countermeasure, they were violently ejected.

Their heads spun crazily, their bodies feeling as if they were being pulled through a shredder, as they were forcibly expelled from the gate.

When they finally got a hold of themselves, their vision clearing, they found themselves lying on the grassy soft ground outside the gate’s entrance.

The air was no longer cold, but much warmer and humid.

They scrambled to their feet, looking back at where the massive, shimmering portal of the Frost Fang Dungeon should have been.

What they saw horrified them, as if reality was playing a cruel, impossible joke.

The Frost Fang Dungeon, the gold mine of the Iron Guild,

the strongest dungeon in their possession,

the very foundation of their family’s wealth and influence, had simply disappeared out of thin air.

Where the colossal, pulsating gate had stood moments before, there was now only a solid, unremarkable rock face, as if it had never existed.

The mighty dungeon was gone.

As for the perpetrator of this unprecedented phenomenon, the one who had systematically cleared the dungeon and then absorbed its very core, he was already long gone.

Klaus, having completed his objective, had activated Apex Velocity and was now dashing towards his next target at unimaginable speeds, a silent, invisible blur across the landscape,

completely unaware of the chaos he had left behind or the profound impact his actions would have on the powerful Iron Guild and the world at large.

His mind was already focused on his next objective.
