[Congratulations to Lord End for being the first to Hunt a fellow Lord!]
[Congratulations to Lord End for being the first to subdue a fellow Lord!]
Somewhere in the Dungeon Realm sat a beautiful lady with black hair and violet eyes looking at the notifications while twirling a crystal ball on the tip of her finger.
"Lord End again... I would prefer to subdue someone capable, though if that's not an option I wouldn't hesitate to kill him." Her violet eyes flashed golden for a split second.
"Ugh, why does my World Trait have to be so uncontrollable, it takes too much aura to keep it going..." She groaned as she massaged the bridge of her nose.
The young lady stood up and in a flash of blue sparks pulled out a black sword similar to Ends, but much thinner and longer.
"It's about time I go hunting and test the real capabilities of this Relic." The young lady Lordess Empress sighed to herself.
Lordess Empress sighed. "It's going to be a real pain in the ass with all the other Lords knowing I have a Relic, but at least Lord End probably has the most attention with all his achievements ringing out every other day..."
Stepping away from the rock she was just sitting on she took the small crystal ball and pushed some aura into turning it red before throwing it to the other side of the cave.
when the crystal ball landed on the ground a massive amount of small Tierless creatures pounced on it from their hiding spots.
Empress smiled. "Well, whatever... I'll just keep Hunting, and hopefully reach Tier-1 before I challenge any of the other Lords." She said before laughing merrily at the swarm of small Beasts before walking towards them.
"With this Relic, it'll be a slaughter!"

Back at the Hanging Forest Shelter, End was staring at the Echo he had obtained from Hunting Lord Tiny.
Echo: [Tiny's Badge]
Type: [Tool]
[Tierless]
Lord: [Tiny]
The badge itself was shaped like a polished black gem that he could pin to his clothes, but the effects he found the item to have surprised him.
Wearing the badge would allow End to manipulate the weight of objects he was holding, but sadly this effect did not spread to living beings and only applied to items bound to his soul like Echos as he had already tried it on a Dungeon Crab he picked up.
Echos obtained from killing Lords were considered to be far more effective than any other Echos of the same Tier, but they were incredibly rare to obtain which made End question once again whether he had godly luck.
Seeing the potential usefulness of the Echo, End had pinned it to his shirt which was still covered in grime because he didn't have enough water to spare for non-necessities.
End was smiling at the loot he had obtained from interfering in the small skirmish, which included the two small daggers used by the Tierless Lords, and the most useful of all the things he obtained. His Realm Trait: Abyss Touch
Realm Trait: [Abyss Touch]
Description: [The Abyss can touch anything regardless of armor or weapon]
Smiling ear from ear End was testing out the Trait on a bunch of Dungeon Crabs by poking them with a knife, though with not enough force to pierce through their armor with not even Tierless equipment.
But to the surprise and enjoyment of End, the small dagger which was covered in a pitch-black fog slipped right through the crab's shell-like butter, instantly killing it.
'A Trait that ignores defenses, as expected of a Unique Realms Trait.' End thought to himself.
The black fog only lasted a minute before dissipating which made End frown. 'With my current energy preserves, I can only make it last a minute... though I'm lucky to unlock it before the evolution at Tier-1'
Most Realm Traits had certain requirements to be unlocked which was the same situation for World Traits, but World Traits' requirements were usually more difficult and severe. All End had to do to unlock his Realm Trait was kill two fellow Lords or Lordesses, and this requirement would be the same for the other Lords of the Dungeon Realm.
Though End would be at a considerable advantage because he unlocked it before he evolved at Tier-1.
When Lords increase their Tier they will also go through an Evolution which will both increase their energy preserves and augment their bodies to be better suited towards their current abilities.
This Evolution would also change the Lord's species depending on their current abilities and their body's condition. Some Lord Clans had even adopted the practice of replacing their organs with monster parts to further develop their evolution.
Though most Lords and Clans would agree that if you Awakened your Bloodline, World Trait, and your Realm Trait you would go through an Evolution that would put you at a greater advantage against other Lords of the same level.
With End unlocking both his Bloodline and his Realm Trait, he would be put at a considerable advantage against the other Lords even without his World Trait unlocked. Even though the World Trait was the only one he knew the requirements to unlock due to all the other people he talked to on his home planet StormFall.
End sighed. "I'm unlikely to come across anything that would help me hit the requirement while I'm this deep underground sadly." He muttered to himself.
Looking at the pile of loot Ends eyes glowed blood-red as he saw the corpse sitting there, he could almost feel the blood running through their bodies.
Feeling slightly conflicted about the idea of drinking Human blood, End just shrugged his shoulders and thought to himself. 'I'm already acting like a Vampire drinking blood, I might as well drink Human blood too.'
After drinking the two Lord's blood a few notifications popped up in front of his eyes.
[Tierless Lord Blood consumed]
[Bloodthirst is greatly refining your body]
[Tierless Lord Blood consumed]
[Bloodthirst is greatly refining your body]
End's eyebrows raised in slight surprise before he chuckled to himself. 'I should have known that Lord Blood was more effective for my Bloodline, just like Lord Echos.'
Just as End was about to lie down and relax after a good meal he heard one of his wooden gongs clatter alerting him to the presence of an intruder, but that wasn't the most attention-catching detail...
From all around the Hanging Tree Forest, End could hear the flap of bird wings flying in one direction, and they sounded angry.
'What could anger all these damn birds?' End though thinking he should take a look.
