Chapter 190 2000 Point SDI... finally.
While Dante did not attach a Celestial Tether between himself and the spiders in order to understand what they were thinking, he actually didn't need to go so far given the body language of the arachnids after he appeared.
Even he himself felt a little bad about what he was doing, for it was a little overboard ethically. However, it would take too long to move about and hunt different D Rank and above monsters in the wild given how they were spread out, so this 'dungeon' was truly the best bet for him.
Of course, Dante didn't plan to take long anyway. He took out his Blood Battle Halberd and attached his recently expanded Blood Qi that had changed its form after it broke through.
It was now thicker and more malleable, feeling a lot less like 'water' and more like 'jelly'. From the Martial Master realm ongoing, martial artists could change their blood Qi into shapes and create armors, weapons, and even projectiles to use, but the quantity and quality depended on the specific realm.
Dante did not want to use his space rank spells like the last two times because while it would guarantee an instant kill, it would destroy everything on this floor, rendering the hard work of the spiders moot.
Call him sentimental, but he felt that it would be better to use a less environmentally destructive method to deal with his targets so that they could continue where they left off when the Spider Queen gave birth to the next batch.
Dante took one step forward as his body blurred. A sharp wind raged around the small cavern, and before a normal human could blink their eye, all the Spider Warriors who had not taken even a step since they appeared were slashed into two, split at the middle.
Dante casually used a space spell to gather the corpses together and absorbed them all at once. However, surprisingly, Dante did not let the huge wave of power enter his body but rather into his avatar first.
In Dante's opinion, it was better to have a stronger avatar, so that even if he left it somewhere dangerous while he did other things, it would be strong enough to weather any blow. His foes could attack his lifeless quantum avatar all they wanted but be unable to even leave a scratch.
After dealing with the E ranks, Dante glanced down and made a simple move to appear in the next level. The Spider Lords were already aware of his presence and had formed a battle group meant to deal with him.
Unlike the crass Spider Warriors, these Spider Lords were far more refined in appearance and looked far more deadly. They even had far better habitations and some semblance of a civilized settlement here.
Dante shrugged and did not give these fellows the same respect that he did for the Spider Warriors and cast the 1st Rank Astral Flare. He didn't dare to use the second rank version after seeing what it did in the Zero Gate World.
If the outcome was the same, then only ashes would be left of these Spider Lords, which was obviously not something he could absorb, now could he?
The spell did its magic and released potent light rays from a void portal that lanced everything in its way to death. The projectiles were small enough to leave ruined corpses behind, not enough to disintegrate them… yet.
Dante shook his head and gathered the corpses into two different groups, one small and one large. He had already checked the stats of the Spider Lords and did the calculation, so the smaller pile should allow him to gain just a bit over 500 points in all fields after absorption.
And this was only because the Spider Lords had relatively balanced stats compared to their lesser compatriots. If it were up to the usual method, Dante would have to over-absorb stats in many fields, and he hated that the most because it caused a very painful reaction each time.
Dante brought his hand to the small pile and absorbed the stats into his main body directly. Immediately, he felt his power soar by more than a quarter as his body became full of power.
When the absorption was done, he only had to fire a beam of reddish-purple lightning with golden hues out towards the side which contained the excess. This greatly pleased him because it meant that his control over his body had increased to the point where he could willingly suppress the excess energy explosion and release it through an alternate means.
As for his SDI… well, did you need to be told?

Dante couldn't help but feel emotional when looking at his current SDI. He still vividly remembered when he first got this and all his stats were below 1 point, leading Beatrice to call him a Neanderthal.
He still remembered how excited he was when Beatrice gave him the gene changer that set his stats at above 2 points, even bowing to her in gratitude.
He still remembered when Xue Bing gravely warned him about terrifying fellow students who had SDIs that could even reach the 300-point level among some of the top students, telling him to be cautious.
It was an experience that changed one's entire mentality, looking back on where you came and understanding how far you've come from there. Especially when it was the kind of journey that caused a great change in power and status, something that the previous you could never have even dreamed of.
Dante sighed deeply and sent his main body out before absorbing the remainder of the Spider Lord's corpse into his avatar. Since this one did not have a stat point limit, his stats easily broke through the 5000-point limit.
However, this was of little value to Dante as he took out an Enhanced Energy Elixir and sent it right in front of the cowering Spider Queen who was terrified by the sudden execution of all her Spider Lords at once.
When the Enhanced Energy Elixir suddenly appeared before her, landing on her huge F-cup breasts since her upper body was mostly that of a human woman - she should actually be fully humanoid with spider legs on her back at the S Rank but she deteriorated and became more spider-like each rank she fell - it bounced on them and fell into her hands.
While she was obviously stunned, Dante transmitted his thoughts through a telepathic wave using his high Intelligence passive ability, informing her what the elixir did and how to use it.
The Spider Queen wanted to ask who he was and why he was doing this, but she had grown too weak to use psychic power like before. As such, Dante naturally left the world - and his avatar - without giving an explanation as to why.
This left the Spider Queen feeling extremely confused and conflicted.
Dante himself did not think too much about it and logged out. He found that Beatrice had fallen asleep while curling into his bed, and he couldn't help but give her forehead a light peck before choosing to enter the Magus World next.
Now that he had raised his stats again, he had to go and update his spells, inform his faction for better treatment and access to information as well as check up on his little protagonist he left here and how they were doing.
Dante closed his eyes and beamed down into the Magus World. His avatar was still in his meditation chamber without being disturbed, which was something Dante expected. After all, unless the Celestial Arcanists were uprooted one day, no one would come and disturb their star pupil.
Besides, much like those funny Immortal Cultivators, Mages were often able to seclude themselves from the world for years upon end. They would not be surprised that the 3rd Rank Dante could disappear for a few years, much less a month or two.
The moment Dante entered his avatar, he realized how weak it was. He had never meditated or tried the Knight Breathing technique in this form, so he decided that much like his avatar in the True Martial World, it was time to train this one too.
As such, before he even thought of doing anything else, he first opened his quantum depository and took out a Quantum Vitality Serum to begin practicing the Primal Ape technique.
