Chapter 317: Realisations

Adam was overwhelmed and shocked by the power that the Killing Move, that he had come up with on a whim, was able to unleash.

His desperation, drive and pent up rage and killing intent were all unleashed at once as he let go of all restraints that he had subconsciously been placing on his mind, body and Bloodlust Charactetristc.

At that moment, he completely embraced and unleashed all the power and emotions that he had been suppressing that whole battle and most of the time on Floor 10 by having the Hunter's mind activated completely at most times.

The spinning of the spear surpassed anything he had ever seen and it became a blur between his palms after gathering wind and momentum as it caused a small tornado within Adam's hands after he integrated the two concepts behind the Air Palm Strike Skill.

While the red tint that the tornado in Adam's hands had was due to the Bloodlust Characteristic's power being poured into the skill and Adam was unsure whether he could use the skill without it, as it was an impossible skill that could only be used by Adam.

It required one to be able to take concepts from different skills and fusing them as it also used the Spear Projectile Skill, that he had gained after reaching 10% mastery over the spear, as a base for the skill.

That was only possible with the special focus and perceptivity that Adam was naturally gifted with, and enhanced massively by the Hunter's mind and the things he had experienced through the system in the dungeon and reality.

While it also required him to be able to surpass the limits of his body and harmonise a spinning force, thrusting force and the concepts of the Air Palm Strike, which was also only possible due to the hidden power of the Bloodlust Characteristic and Adam's special body that had perfect control over his energy.

The power was too much for Adam to handle and control as it continued to increase and increase uncontrollably with the power of the spear in his hands being enhanced by the spinning and driving force.

Adam let out a roar at the top of his lungs and thrust the spear downwards at the Beast Goblin King that didn't have enough time to avoid or dodge the attack and put its arms up to block it.

"Die" bellowed Adam as his red eyes began to glow as his Bloodlust soared.

Closing his eyes from the bright flash of light and the debris that flew everywhere, Adam was launched flying and blurted out a curdle of blood as he opened his eyes to find that he was dozens of metres in the air.

Adam's body was aching all over and he could barely move it and as he looked down, he saw an enormous crater and green blood splattered everywhere.

His attack had caused the entire area to shake and completely decimated the powerful Beast Goblin King, but Adam had suffered backlash from not only the explosion of the attack, but also from using the Bloodlust Characteristic's full power.

That attack would have been enough to take down even high-level Advanced Cultivators and was so fast, powerful and destructive that even Adam himself didn't know how to react and fell crashing onto the ground, unable to use the Burst Movement Skill to break his fall.

Adam's landing formed a small crater as he blurted out another curdle of blood and lay there, barely able to move as he took a minute to catch his breath and calm down.

The Goblin Beasts that had been spectating the battle were all launched flying backwards from the strong winds that Adam's Killing Move had caused and luckily for Adam, he was attacking from above, as he would have been launched towards the goblin beasts or the castle if he had attacked the Beast Goblin King from the side.

Despite the pain that he was feeling all around his body, Adam had a smile on his face after successfully creating and using two powerful and useful skills during a battle.

He was also surprised to find that his body hadn't suffered too much backlash and damage from the use of the Bloodlust Characteristic and it was the first time that Adam had harmonised and embraced the characteristic.

It was a part of him and usually, Adam thought of it as a power that he was borrowing from the system that had negative effects, but due to his desperation and drive while attacking the Beast Goblin King, Adam unknowingly was able to harmonise his Bloodlust Characteristic into the attack.

After a short while, Adam managed to get up and sit with his legs crossed as he activated his Ethereal Recovery Skill.

While his body was automatically absorbing energy and using it to recover his energy reserves and his body's vitality so that he could recover quicker, Adam's mind was still working continuously despite being in an ethereal state.

He didn't go to see Ava like he usually would while he was using the Ethereal Recovery Skill, but that was because he had so many things that he wanted to note down and he had so many realisations after that battle that he needed to act upon.

[First thing is that I need to start using the Bloodlust Characteristic as a part of me and no longer suppress or release it. I will leave it as a part of me just like my emotions are, and my mind still controls my body and although might be influenced by the Bloodlust and the emotions, ultimately my mind is almost always in control] said Adam to himself.

[Second thing I will start doing from now on is purchasing Unique Skills and Elemental Affinities, but I can come up with skills and techniques myself or learn them from my master. I have reached a level of knowledge and understanding about cultivation and energy that I don't need to rely on others for methods, skills and techniques]

[And lastly, I need to produce more variants of my skills and become less restricted. The more skills I have of different types, activation times and power levels, I will be more versatile and capable in combat]

Adam was satisfied with how everything turned out and it seemed that for the moment, the Goblin Kings were going to stay in their towers and the other goblins couldn't go to the Core Part of the Goblin City, so he had time to recover.
