Darius Supreme Chapter 117
Advertisement
Darius then nodded to Gunner who began to glow with the familiar greenish light of his bloodline energy. Darius simply activated blink repeatedly in the direction of the capital city.
His form soon blurred and appeared exactly 100 meters away, yet Gunner was able to keep pace with him. The fellow moved by using his strength to kick off the earth, sending him shooting forth like a bullet.
He did this each time his propulsion slowed down. While this might be faster than traditional running, it had steep requirements for Strength and Endurance, otherwise anyone who did this would only last a second or two.
However, when Darius completed his first 500 blinks, he noticed that Gunner was only a few seconds behind him. The duo sat down to rest for 5 minutes before resuming their journey.
Once they emerged from their warp, the duo continued blinking/leaping forward. Darius and Gunner were higher leveled, so their mana regenerated faster. Unfortunately, by some bizarre logic, mana regeneration was not tied to their Intellect stat, but their level.
It seemed to be a fixed rate per level, and at level 20, Darius gained 20 points of mana every second. At level 19, Gunner's was 19 points per second. So in truth, their MP had fully regenerated within a minute, but they spent some time recovering Gunner's stamina.
Now that they pushed forward again, they covered a large amount of distance. Eventually, Darius's mana was emptied after 500 blinks once more, and Gunner came to a stop beside him a second or two later, panting slightly.
Darius had to admit, Gunner was an absolute beast. To achieve what he was doing and coming out with a slight pant was something which should be impossible for anyone else at this stage.
The Giant race of Faust was truly something else if a mere half-breed like Gunner was already this crazy. Darius had already chatted with Gunner, so as for his heritage, they planned to sort it out when they both became Adepts.

Once they rested for another 10 minutes, this time slightly longer in order to allow Gunner enough rest, they continued their blink-leap technique.
As such, Darius and Gunner appeared in the plains before a large city wall. Even with Gunner's strength, Darius doubted he could leap over it in one go, especially given the ramifications such an action would entail.
With towers attached to the fortifications and more than a few gates carved into those walls, Ando City was truly magnificent. There were no lines, traffic moved freely in and out of the city, carts carrying waste and other exports out while others carriages goods and imports in. There were also carriages, caravans, and the like moving people from one destination to another.
Normally, a city would have four gates, one at the north, the south, the east, and the west. However, Ando City had more than 8 gates that Darius could tell from his map, and the inside was about the size of Niger.
With such a large urban area, Darius knew that there were more than 780 million Andrato Citizens situated in this city through the official census. It was a staggering number once one considered that this was a single city, not a country.
When Darius had researched the population and landmasses of Faust, he had been convinced that Vena and Caesar must have lacked any real grasp of geography and sociology, deciding to copy-paste aspects of Earth and just doubling or even tripling it in size.
For one, without dungeons and the general rich resources, this world would be perpetually in a state of war, eventually being ruined as all life came to an end.
Luckily for them, they had been gifted dungeons with 'infinite resources'. On Earth, just a few dungeons would have to be harvested regularly to theoretically end world hunger as the price of various commodities would plummet to nothingness.

When supply tops demand, price falls.
However, the issue in Faust was that harvesting these dungeons was easier said than done. The majority of these fellows could not properly take advantage of their 'infinite resources' due to various failures, so resources were still in high demand.
Even then, the rate at which they harvested was not far from enough given their number, putting the flaws aside.
There was also the fact that all dungeons were not made equal, and they focused on different aspects. As a result, the towns and cities were reliant on trading their goods with each other to make up for these deficiencies.
Darius could enjoy exotic meals in The Great Escape Inn, especially specialties from the Wood Dungeon because it was located nearby.
However, if he were to visit Yunian City, which possessed a rare spatial attribute dungeon, he might be able to buy Bags of Holding and similar items cheaply, but the cost of food would naturally be higher.
Anyone who went to school understood this logic.
Darius and Gunner walked right into Ando City, the guards gazing at them with uncertainty. He Analyzed them all, as it had become second nature, and noticed that their captains were all Amateurs. Once they laid eyes on the duo, their faces changed greatly.
Darius ignored them and took in the sight of Ando City.
It was truly a magnificent area of urbanization, despite being medieval in style. Darius had seen illustrations and maps while reading, but they had not done the area justice.
The difference between the capital and Listo was as clear as day. Listo was quite impressive, but the roads here were wide enough for double lanes on each side. Carriages and various vehicles constantly moved up and down in an organized fashion
There were appointed traffic guards at each junction directing traffic, acting as humanoid traffic lights. The pavements were wide and had hundred of people busily walking up and down, either shopping, on their way home or to work.
The city was neatly organized, with this entrance area being filled with service businesses, like inns, taverns, restaurants, and the like. Darius even saw spas and clothing shops as well.
The duo walked in a bit further and saw that the next band was full of market goods, groceries, potions, equipment, and more. The sheer amount of shops selling things on both sides of the road was amazing.
