"This can be a problem." Neo said and turned his attention to the Twin Towers to see how was the progress. He just looked at it for a while before moving his gaze away from it. "I think it---" He stopped midway through as he found himself in a white room again. "Where are we?" {The Celestial Abyssal Tower or what I call the Twin Tower.} "Is it repaired?" Neo asked as he looked around and found two doors standing opposite to each other. He looked at them and found one shining with a bright golden glow while the other had a dark blackish aura surrounding it. Both of them had rune and shapes carved on them. Both doors had carvings of strange creatures but the difference between them was that one of them had a golden radiance and people had wings of feathers while the other door had blackish aura around them, and they had horns and wings made up of skin like bat wings. He looked at these doors for a while before moving toward the door with the golden glow. Arriving before it, Neo pu
Blaze didn't falter; instead, he spun the greatswords in a tight circle, and the flaming tornado intensified once again. The monsters were thrown back once more, and some of them were consumed by the black flames. But the skill suddenly stopped working, and the whirlwind deactivated. 'What now?' Neo asked as he felt that they were in a pinch, but Blaze still had a grin on his face as he said, "Remember the idea?" The [Authority of Flame] burned brightly as his body was again engulfed in black flame along with the blade. Blaze narrowed his eyes as he saw the monsters speeding toward him. He sneered and moved one of the greatsword above his head. The blade erupted in flames, becoming brighter and more black with each passing moment. As the monsters came closer, he brought the greatsword down in a powerful arc, and a slash of fire erupted in an arc from the blade, sending the creatures flying. "Let's see if this works." Blaze muttered as he started spinning and the fire on greatswo
Blaze whistled when he saw the scene and now knew how he jumped up 4 levels, but then the pain also told him the reality of how reckless he was and almost destroyed himself. 『 Congratulation on successfully defending the formation.』 『 Checking for what Keeper needs.』 Neo felt like he got scanned by something and was a little surprised, as this differed totally from how [Ascendance Tower] worked. Now he was waiting for the reward. 『 Received: Body Strengthening Technique.』 『 Received: Low grade Divine Healing Elixir.』 A potion bottle appeared before Neo, who was looking at him with a raised eye as Blaze said. {Should it go like, now I have to find a potion only to find its recipe then look for ingredients for them then look for a powerful alchemist to make the potion for me or learn alchemy and something along the line that would help me make companions and such.} This line of thought impressed Neo, and he said, "High Luck did all of it." {Yeah, and spoiled the fun as well as
Neo opened his eyes, calm and collected. "How long was I practicing?" He asked as there wasn't any sun or anything that could help him tell the time. He took out his holographic phone and looked, only to remember that everything in the dimensional portal had its time frozen. "A day or two must have passed." Blaze moved around, his muscles produced a cracking sound. "Let's check this." He said as he used the essence sphere to check whether it worked or not… 『 Strength +3, Intelligence +2』 And it did. He tried with others and found that every stat has been strengthened except for the stats Luck, Perception, and Wisdom. He stretched a little before using [Aether Manipulation] on more essence spheres before thinking about it and trying to use the skill like he was manipulating flames and spread it around, but it failed. He had to gather all the spheres before turning the green ones into the [Tower coin] while keeping the others there, as even with the green one, that took most of
Blaze put a finger in his ear and shook it, irritated by the whistling noise it was giving out. Neo's focus was on the notification. 『 Defeated Level 20 Floor Boss Ursus.』 『+35,000 exp.』 『 +3 Strength, +2 Vitality.』 『 You have received: Vereil. 』 A piece of metal appeared in front of Neo shining in light and after the light dimmed down, a cyan color ingot was behind it. Neo looked at it and found it to be light as a feature. {What is this?} Blaze said as he tossed the ingot up. It fell back quickly even though it was too light. "I don't know. Must be for forging." Neo caught the metal and used [Inspect] [Name: Vereil Properties: Enchanted Conductivity: Vereil is a metal that naturally conducts magical energy, making it ideal for enchanted objects or devices that require magical power. ➠ Elemental Resistance: Vereil has a natural resistance to elemental damage, making it particularly effective at shielding against spells and attacks that deal with fire, ice, lightning, or
Blaze looked at the two with a raised eyebrow as he expected them to be thugs or something that wanted his money and such, but again, the scene was not going according to the script. He asked, "Do I know you?" Myra felt a little embarrassed as they came out too blunt, so she tried to salvage the situation and said, "Can we go somewhere to talk?" He scrutinized them for a while before nodding and walking toward a restaurant. It was 1 pm, and he spent a little too long learning the art of butchery. Myra and Mira followed him and entered one. He ordered some dishes and asked, "Who are you?" Myra was silent, mulling over what to tell him. "My name is Myra, and this is Mira." She knew Neo had [Inspect] skill of a high level, so telling lies about this was just distrust, and she didn't want to start their cooperation based on a lie. But she didn't know that Neo had already used [Inspect] and knew their names were. He was just saying that as a formality and didn't expect them to answ
Blood drained from their faces, but Blaze could not see as both of them wore a veil and covered themselves with a cloak. 'It's pretty shady for them to dress like that.' {Might be that they are going through some complications.} Still, he knew what was going on in their minds and moved forward as he said, "Let's go." Myra found his confidence weird and wanted to stop him, but she felt something different with him this time, and hesitated for a moment before following him into the dungeon. Mira, who was shocked to the core, felt this surreal and wanted to cry when she saw Myra and Neo going into the dungeon. She felt they got a different notification than her and ran behind them to tell them to turn back, but it was already too late, as they were in the first chamber already. When she arrived, she got a notification. 『 Myra Verres invited you to a party.』 Mira wanted to ask if Myra was okay going on this suicide mission because she was not, but still reluctantly accepted, as she
{So, I have been thinking.} "I know, and the answer is no." {Tch, party pooper.} Neo collected everything, it took him over an hour, but that much time was necessary for others members to regain their stamina. He walked back and was surprised as he saw the girls had removed their cloaks and veils. The first beauty, that should be Myra, had long, flowing black hair that cascaded down her back in gentle waves. Her piercing, icy blue eyes could cut through steel, and her angular features gave her an air of mystery and intrigue. Despite her icy demeanor and indifference towards everything around her, she had a beauty that was hard to ignore. She wore a black, form-fitting outfit that hugged her curves and accentuated her figure, adding to her alluring presence. It was clear that Myra was not someone to be underestimated, and her beauty only added to her dangerous aura. Then came Mira, a charming woman with delicate features and soft, wavy hair that cascaded down her back. Her almond-
