"<Spite>," I chanted as the King Ant shot towards me again, the Monster stumbling slightly as the effect of my debuff hit it, before it screeched and leapt forward, whipping its claws at my stomach.

I sprang back, the tips of its claws nicking my armor, before it shot up into the air again, my gaze shifting up as it swooped down rapidly, slashing at my head with its claws as it closed in on me.

I swiftly ducked under the swing of its claws, before driving my left palm up towards the middle of its body, before my eyes widened slightly as it suddenly twisted its body across in midair, evading the reach of my hand before driving its claws towards the top of my head.

I raised my blade up as fast as I could, narrowly blocking its strike, before I turned around as it zipped back and landed behind me.

I lunged at it and drove my blade towards the middle of its chest, before I suddenly raised its left arm, my blade piercing through its palm and plunging into its forearm, my Mana and stamina starting to get replenished before it suddenly clamped its claws around my blade, starting to raise its other arm.

I quickly snapped my wrist across, my blade forcibly bursting out of its arm and splitting its hand and forearm in half, a chitter of pain ringing out, before I slammed my foot onto the middle of its stomach, its feet skidding back several meters upon impact, the King Ant keeling over slightly.

It let me stab into its arm on purpose, it wanted to create an opening to deal a killing blow against me.

Fortunately, there aren't many things that my blade isn't capable of cutting through, so it didn't work.

"<Lethargy>," I chanted as it shot towards me again, disorienting the Monster as it closed in on me.

It let out a ringing screech and leapt towards me, before I spun across and slipped behind it as it whipped its left arm across to spray its oozy liquid towards my eyes, but it was a bit too slow to launch the attack.

I narrowly evaded the spray, before slamming my left palm against its back, unleashing Slumber followed by Mana Pulse, eating away at a large chunk of its stamina before it shuddered and screeched sharply in pain, furiously spinning around and driving its right arm up towards me.

I swiftly reached out and grabbed its wrist before its claws could reach me, its arms convulsing as I unleashed another burst of Mana Pulse, cracks spreading out across its exoskeleton over its hand and forearm.

I whipped my blade up, slicing through its elbow joint and severing its right forearm, the gloopy liquid pouring out and splattering across the corpse pile below.

As the Monster shakily stumbled back in pain, I swung my right foot out and slammed it against the middle of its torso, launching it back through the air before unleashing a rapid volley of piercing Negative Energy arrows.

It regained its balance right in the nick of time and veered across, one of the arrows grazing its left side, before it weaved through the air to evade the rest.

I think it's safe to say that this fight is as good as over, so time to bring it to an end...

"<Command: Get Over Here>."

An alarmed screech rang out as it began to fly towards me, straining to resist as I shot forward, before launching myself up into the air, straight towards it, with a pressurized burst of Negative Energy from my heels.

"<Devour>," I chanted as I closed in on it.

The shadowy jaws expanded around its head right as it broke free of the effect of Command, but it was too late, the jaws snapping shut before the King Ant could get out of the way, tearing its head clean off.

I grabbed its shoulder as it began to plummet, before wolfing down the rest of its body with the jaws of Devour.

I started to head back to eat the forearm I severed earlier, before...

<Confirmed, you've consumed enough to max out your stats now>

Alright, let's fucking go!

I already know what the numbers are going to be, but let's have a look anyway. I finally did it, I've maxed out my stats:

HP: 2100

MP: 3000

Strength: 2100

Agility: 3000

Vitality: 2100

Perception: 3000

Power Level: 2,550,000

Wow...yeah, I'm feeling pretty good about myself right now.

And this is excluding all my boosts...my Strength and Vitality are effectively at 2310 thanks to the ten percent boosts they get from passive effects of my Wrath and Sloth Classes.

Not to mention the overall ten percent boost I get when I wield Desecrator, which I almost always do. And of course, then there's Enrage and Descent, not to mention Arouse.

I feel so...giddy and triumphant, I've finally reached my peak as far as power goes. If I count the raids at the Academy as my starting point, it's taken around two and a half years to get here, it feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

"<Based on your expression, I take it this means you've reached your full power>?" Inquired Superbia with a smile.

"Mhm, yeah, I sure have," I replied with a cheerful grin, before adding, "Now, then, let's get out of here. We should leave before-..."

I tensed and trailed off as I sensed murderous intent directed at me, quickly turning across in the direction I sensed it, manifested Drain in front of myself right in the nick of time as a massive blast of Negative Energy came shooting down towards me from a large tree atop the cliff, just barely managing to swallow it up.

I let out a slow exhale and narrowed my eyes as I spotted two figures coming into sight, an Archdemon and a Wind Dragon.

"Wow, you actually managed to respond to that? It would seem that Fenelza was not exaggerating, you really are a threat. Your Aura indicates as much as well. However, in your current exhausted state, you are far from your best," Remarked the Archdemon with a smirk...
