The Seat of Light's Energy Amplification
Now that he had discovered that creatures from the Dark Continent might exist within the Ruins, Ian naturally didn't hesitate any longer.
He raised his hand and waved it, and soon the energy of the "Seat of Light" present was absorbed into his hand.
A soft white light emanated from his palm.
He re-manifested the [Superpower Hat], and with the added energy, the [Superpower Hat]'s effects would be amplified dozens of times.
He wouldn't dare say he could move the entire Ruins using only Telekinesis...
However, he could still scan the entire Ruins with his mental energy in a short time.
Instead of using a "circle," he used mental energy to scan. In an instant, with the blessing of the [Superpower Hat], a vast amount of mental energy spread out, like an invisible net, completely enveloping the entire western region.
"Strange... there's nothing there!"
Ian frowned, but in his perception, he did not detect any living creatures or corpses.
His mental scan, compared to the "circle," revealed things much more clearly.
Let alone tangible monster skeletons.
Even if there were a needle buried underground with Worm crawling on it, he could still accurately pull it out.
Therefore, it is highly likely that the monster is not present here.
He couldn't help but look at Jin.
"What if those monsters have moved to other parts of the Ruins? Let's go check other areas."
Kim watched Ian intently as he played his game; at this point, there was nothing he could do to help.
However, he truly trusted Ian completely.
It's true... things that are extremely difficult for other Nen users are far too easy for Ian in front of him.
Especially the scene where the other party used that immense energy with such nonchalance.
Jin knew that he probably would never be able to squander his Nen Abilities so recklessly in his lifetime.
The two returned to the East District.
However, as soon as he arrived, Ian's expression changed slightly.
He sensed many strange creatures, unsure if they were from the Dark Continent that left the claw marks, but they certainly existed... and they were moving!
"So, did you find anything?"
Jin asked a question, his Nen subtly emanating from his body, ready to strike at any moment.
After all, Ian could be unprepared for the creatures of the Dark Continent, but he couldn't. Even the most insignificant little thing here could harbor deadly danger.
Ian raised an eyebrow, pointed in the direction of the eastern region, and said with a slightly more serious expression.
"Jin, I think I've found what we're looking for. Over there, many strange creatures I can't identify are awakening. They... seem to be looking for me..."
Jin was stunned when he heard his words.
However, upon seeing Ian's radiant appearance, his expression changed.
"Could it be those monsters?!"
Ian obtained the "Seat of Light," and the monsters that left claw marks are attracted to light, so they are the most likely to appear at this time.
Ian nodded. These strange monsters were rather odd; they seemed to be able to block his mental scan, making it impossible to determine their exact form.
However, a slight smile appeared on his lips, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
"Let's go, let's meet these monsters and see what they're capable of that dares to trespass into my castle."
By this time, Ian had come to regard these Ruins as his forbidden territory.
He grabbed Jin and instantly teleported to the sky above the eastern region. As soon as they arrived, they saw that strange, pitch-black life forms were crawling out of the densely packed wells.
Their bodies were shrouded in a layer of black mist, making it impossible to see their appearance.
However, their distinctive features are also quite remarkable. Each monster has sharp claws on its tentacles as it crawls on the ground, and upon closer inspection, one can discover that various kinds of "divine runes" are naturally growing on their claws.
"Throat--"
As soon as Ian and his group appeared, they seemed to smell the scent of prey, raising their heads in unison, their heads shrouded in black mist tilted back, staring directly at where Ian was.
"I never imagined these monsters would hide in a well like this..."
Ian felt a little nauseous and said with disgust.
"Luckily, we didn't go down the well to investigate earlier. It looks like there are quite a lot of these things..."
"Jin, do you think they're alive or dead!?"
To be alive or dead...
This is an important question, after all, these monsters have existed for at least 200 years. How did they survive during this long period?
Why did he suddenly wake up now?
"I don't know, but at least they've appeared, which is good news for us."
"As for their true identities, we'll find out once we catch one..."
Kim answered, and Ian nodded in response.
"That makes sense, then... let's get started!"
"[Invincible Turret], come out now!"
Without hesitation, Ian stood high in the air, knowing that these monsters wouldn't be able to touch him unless they could fly. So he wasn't worried at all. With a casual wave of his hand, the Light Bracelet on his wrist activated its energy, causing the disc to re-form beneath his and Jin's feet.
Then the menacing-looking [Invincible Turret] was placed right there.
The steel turret, nearly four meters tall, looked quite menacing. Suddenly, its radar began to rotate, and then, as Ian intended, it swiftly launched an attack!
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"...
Ten cannonballs right from the start—let's welcome these monsters!
Intense flames erupted in the well below, simultaneously blasting the monsters shrouded in dark mist into screams and retreat.
Clearly, they are not brainless; they do feel pain.
Ian acted like a conductor, pointing here and probing there, all the while chattering away.
"Here!"
"There!"
"Invincible Turret, blast it!"
"Let's see if they can really gain any momentum. They're still a long way from meeting me!"
Although these monsters shrouded in dark mist seemed endless, their numbers appeared to increase the more they were bombarded.
But Ian had nothing to worry about.
Using the [Invincible Turret] would make it difficult to deplete his Nen value, and besides, he still has the power of the "Seat of Light" right now.
It can be said that most of his items can be enhanced by the energy of the "Seat of Light".
Especially things like the [Invincible Turret], which inherently consumes energy.
Below, strangely, more and more pitch-black monsters crawled out of the well, like an endless stream of ants.
At first, Jin thought he could handle it.
But even now, his expression has changed...
There's no other reason than that there were simply too many of them; it's unbelievable that they were able to hide so obediently in this well before!
Is it in hibernation?
Or are these monsters constantly splitting apart?
Jin tried to discern the abilities these monsters relied on.
Ian's expression changed slightly when he saw the densely packed number of monsters below, but this only fueled his anger.
"You want to fight me to the death, huh!"
He noticed that the monsters were starting to gather together. Despite not being able to fly, they were trying to accumulate and reach him in the sky.
The next moment.
He transferred the energy of the Seat of Light into the [Invincible Turret].
If it could speak, it probably would say something right now.
"Invincible Turret Super Evolution!"
"... Ultimate Star Destroyer Cannon!"
