With every swing of his sword, massive numbers of the pitch-dark monsters would die.
Every slash brought Jason one step closer to his next meal.
And with every creature he consumed, Jason’s physical strength swiftly replenished.
[Part of ’Approaching the Door of Death’ consumed!]
[Physical strength, energy, and injuries significantly recovered!]
[Satiety +20!]
[Satiety: 311]
...
[Part of ’Approaching the Door of Death’ consumed!]
[Physical strength, energy moderately recovered!][Satiety +10!]
[Satiety: 321]
...
From the moment he began consuming the initial parts of ’Approaching the Door of Death,’ notifications of increased satiety would intermittently appear before Jason, the recently depleted satiety visibly replenishing at a remarkable rate.
As he watched his satiety rapidly rise, and the monsters disappearing in droves, Jason remained extremely calm.
Because he knew very well what his current power was built upon.
The Chen Xi Sword!
Real combat with the Chen Xi Sword required the ’dawn’!
Once dawn passed, against these dark-hued monsters, he would only be left with Protection Against Evil.
Dodging just moments ago, relying on an ample supply of food, Jason tested Protection Against Evil against the monsters before him.
The effect was quite good.
A strike and the monster disintegrated into ash, not even a speck of sulfur powder remained.
But that was just one!
And how many monsters were there in front of him?
One gaze across the teeming mass revealed an uncountable number.
Moreover, Jason had his own main mission, to survive for 30 days.
And now only 10 days had passed.
20 days were still left!
With the consumption rate of Protection Against Evil, even with his extraordinary talent, facing such a number for another 20 days was impossible.
Therefore, Jason began to try out other secret techniques he had mastered.
The Charles Burning Technique was naturally the first choice.
Whoosh!
A conical flame burst forth.
Within a 45° angle, an 8-meter long, 0.8-meter high flame, akin to a dragon’s breath of fire, instantly engulfed the dark, humanoid monsters before him.
However, faced with such fire, the monsters were only mildly hindered.
It was clear that the flames were ineffective.
No, that’s not right.
The flames at the current level could not harm those monsters.
If it were a higher level...
Jason subconsciously glanced at the requirements to upgrade the Charles Burning Technique from expert to master level: 40 satiety points, 3 Excitement of Feast.
The former was well within Jason’s reach, but the latter?
He had 7 points of Excitement of Feast, just one point shy of meeting the requirement to elevate Protection Against Evil to master level.
Compared to the Charles Burning Technique, Jason undoubtedly favored Protection Against Evil.
Not only because Protection Against Evil was the only method he could apply against the bizarre at any time, but also because the level of Protection Against Evil restricted the ’[War Pattern.Pruess.Griffin.Shadow Hidden Body Forging Technique].’
Once Protection Against Evil was leveled up, relying on his talent, [War Pattern.Pruess.Griffin.Shadow Hidden Body Forging Technique] would inevitably reach a new level too.
That would be an all-around enhancement!
His strength would certainly reach a new degree!
Moreover, Jason could not confirm that the master level Charles Burning Technique would be effective against the pitch-black humanoid monsters before him.
Thus, he temporarily gave up on upgrading the Charles Burning Technique.
"Wait a moment!"
"When I’m left with no other choice, then I’ll try upgrading the Charles Burning Technique!"
Having made his decision, Jason immediately released another secret technique he had mastered.
The Flash Technique!
Well, it was ineffective.
On the contrary, those pitch-dark monsters seemed to become more vigorous.
Afterward, Jason activated Mist Concealment.
Thick fog suddenly appeared, enshrouding both Jason and the monsters within it.
Instantly, the monsters that were pouncing towards Jason halted in their tracks.
They began to look around in confusion, searching for Jason.
Effective!
Jason watched the scene unfold before him with considerable surprise.
In the previous secret base beneath the ’Shelter,’ these monsters were not hindered by darkness in their sight, so he didn’t expect the fog to obscure their view.
But the current situation told Jason otherwise.
And after comparing the two situations, Jason swiftly concluded they were different.
In the previous pitch-black corridor, he had repeatedly wielded the Chen Xi Sword.
Here, he remained motionless.
Light, perhaps?
Thinking about the performance of these pitch-dark monsters during the Flash Technique just now, Jason had some speculations in his mind.
The next moment, when light shone from his hand, those monsters instantly locked onto him and charged at him once more.
And when the light from the Flash Technique faded and the fog once again enveloped them, the monsters looked around in confusion again.
This discovery gave Jason a flicker of surprise in his eye and also alleviated the last bit of concern in his heart.
He dispersed the fog.
"Continue."
Facing the swarm of monsters rushing toward him, Jason swung his sword.
The monsters died in droves, and whenever one died, more would emerge from the intermingling light and shadow, only to be slain by Jason’s Chen Xi Sword.
The 20-meter-long Light Sword was like the Reaper’s scythe, harvesting these unknown monsters.
And more ’food’ was consumed by Jason.
These ’foods’ were all named ’Parts of Approaching the Door of Death,’ but their forms were bizarre and varied.
Sometimes it was a table, sometimes a chair, or even just a teacup.
For Jason, though, all it took was a single opening of the mouth to consume them.
At most, he just sucked their ’flavor’ dry and spat out the residue, as if eating sugar cane.
