While Others Cultivate, I LVL UP In My Sleep Using The Dungeon System

Adam had been injured more than Marco and had also been forced to use more energy, but their battle was far from over and was only just starting to peak.

Marco had activated the Bombardment Style that was his ultimate battle style that he would only use against opponents that he recognised as worthy, while Adam was only just getting warmed up.

Only by facing tough opponents could one truly progress.

That was something that they both agreed on and Adam had had his fair share of tough battles in the dungeons, but this was one of the most thrilling battles that he had experienced in reality against an opponent that he admired.

It wasn't his power, but his incredible control over his muscles and body that were truly impressive, along with his character.

However, both didn't want to back down or lose and even though they didn't have anything against their opponent and felt favourably towards them, they both desired to come out on top.

The best thing they could do in respect of their opponent was fight with their full power and that was exactly what both of them were planning on doing.

[The Unique Collector Skill and my Form Switching are off-limits in this battle, but maybe I might go against what I had initially planned and use my Bloodlust Characteristic to increase my power and be able to match you] thought Adam to himself as he was suddenly struck by Marco's fist.

Adam had blocked it, but he had fallen into Marco's trap and as soon as he did, a second, then third attack followed and although the first fist wasn't as strong as Marco's previous attacks, the power of his attacks began rapidly increasing.

"So this is the Bombardment Style," said Adam as he felt as though he was trapped in an endless flurry of attacks that grew more powerful and were destroying his body.

Before they could do too much damage to him, Adam used the Step Skip Skill to get away from Marco and out of his seemingly endless combination of attacks.

The Bombardment Style also involved attacking in a manner that would allow him to continuously attack without needing to pause and the attacks were perfectly gelled and led onto the other.

Breaking out of it would be extremely difficult and even Adam felt as though he wouldn't be able to do so without the Step Skip Skill or some other trump card that he had.

He had blood and wounds all over him, and appeared to be physically battered, but the fire in his eyes hadn't died down in the slightest and it was that fire that made Adam and many others so great at combat.

The will to never back down, lose or give up.

"Come at me again" roared Adam as he unleashed more of his power and prepared himself to take on Marco's Bombardment a second time.

By rapid contractions and relaxations in all of his muscles at the same time, Marco was able to enter a state in which his strength and speed were greatly enhanced, however it was straining for his body to maintain.

The faster the fluctuations in his muscles, the hotter his body became and the more energy he used, while he would also experience more strain, but the speed and strength increase that he would experience would be greater.

Adam couldn't mimic such a way of increasing his power, but he had no need to, and it was a way of increasing one's strength that would cause strain and push one's body to its limits, just like the Bloodlust Characteristic's power that he had.

By controlling the Blood Burning and Blood Berserker extensions, his power could greatly increase for a short period of time just like Marco's, so unlike the Reflection Style, the Bombardment Style was one that Adam could copy.

The only issue was his combination of attacks was too complex, flexible and continuously adapted and changed, so it was difficult for Adam to copy in order to create a Bombardment Style of his own.

However the Hunter's Mind and the Mind Ring made it so that his mind was capable of almost anything and he felt his head aching, but still drew out more power from the Mind Ring.

[I need to be able to copy those movements and attack patterns, otherwise, I won't have gained anything from this battle and I also won't be able to beat him without using more of my trump cards] thought Adam to himself.

His daggers, fire elemental affinity, Unique Collector Skill, Beast Transformation and Soul Skills were all things he didn't want to reveal and use in his battle against Marco.

If he did, he was quite sure that he would have taken down Marco with ease and very quickly, but they were the ultimate trump cards that he used freely in the dungeon and only when he was forced to in reality.

In order to copy the Bombardment Style, he would need to experience it used against him again, and with his increased speed and power due to the Bloodlust Characteristic, Adam was hoping to be able to block most of the attacks and keep up with Marco's great speed.

Marco blitzed through the air and struck Adam with a frontal kick to the head, which Adam narrowly avoided, but was followed up with a spinning hammer fist to the face.

Adam couldn't dodge it in time, so had no choice but to block it, and as soon as he did, Marco would experience a burst of speed and take the instant that I was dazed after blocking, to attack me a second time.

That was the spark to the bombardment and with his attacks becoming faster and more powerful, the target would become overwhelmed and unable to escape it.

Once again, Adam used the Step Skip Skill to get out of it and then called for Marco to try again, continuing to watch and learn from Marco.

After experiencing it a few times, Adam finally managed to break out of it for the first time without needing to use the Step Skip Skill and he had finally succeeded in understanding Marco's attack pattern.
