{This sucks. I'll have to use that knife again.}
Although the power it gave was too good, he still couldn't handle the kickback of it.
Neo thought about it and decided to see if he could make do with half the power and see how much it would take to kill it.
He treaded forward carefully, there was a settlement, a broken down city, in sight. There were some monsters. Neo made quick work of them, he found that they have the same essence spheres as the monsters in the Ascension Tower.
{Must be special to the floor bosses.}
‘Twin Towers specialty.’
Neo sneaked into the city. He found it was filled with monsters that rampaged through the city and there were nothing but ruins here. He moved around to spot the boss, but no luck, and 2 hours were in.
"Not here." Neo left the city, and soon another city came into sight.
This one was also in ruins, but it was bigger than the one he passed through. After entering this one, he moved
The battle remained ongoing for a while now and Blaze had chipped away two thirds of the monster’s health and received wounds from it as well. The shield wasn’t able to defend every attack completely, and the Nether energy that was making things worse in his body, was also the cause. Bang* A huge hammer hit the monster in its face as it moved back a little. Blaze put the hammer over his shoulder with the golden sword in his other hand, thrumming with blue light. "This guy sure is tough." Blaze said as he looked at the one-eyed monster, as the other eye became useless because of him. But it didn't discourage him as he kept on fighting and swung the hammer again. This time it was the axe side, the target was its face again. The monster had also become more alert. It used its claw to strike the hammer and send Blaze away. 'It's ready.' He slid back and stabilized himself by plunging the hammer (axe side) into the ground. "Well then, nice knowing you. Ugly." Roar* The monster roa
Blaze moved around as he dodged the attack while making his blades sharper and more powerful with the surrounding Nether, but this time the Nether was directly absorbed by them and not through his body, making him not suffer the pain and damage again. He attacked the demon and the slash this time was a cm deeper. Roar* The demon roared and said something in a strange language, but Blaze somehow knew what it meant. "Insolent? What are you? A teenager?" He attacked again as the cut was a little deeper now, but its regeneration was too powerful, as it would regenerate as fast as it was wounded. "This is going nowhere." Blaze said and took out the Soul Reaver. "Let's charge this baby up." Neo got to it as Blaze put all the nether in the other blade and fused the two, forming a broadsword. He held it in one hand as he did a horizontal slash. The demon brought its gigantic sword from above. Both swords clashed, and Blaze was swept away to the other side of the hall. -500 His hea
The crown had no stats, as it was an ordinary piece or that it was simply incomplete. The reason Neo said that he would've died was because if he had gotten this crown before the fight with the Andromalius. The demon would've been able to use the [Divine Punishment] as he'll be a thief than and from the name, Neo felt that, that skill was not a tickle monster. {Good luck, I guess.} Neo put the crown away as he felt that this one and the one he got from the divine realm would merge like the two towers did. The Tower never gave him anything useless. He checked his current level and found that he was at level 20. {How much experience did that guy gave?} Neo opened the logs to see. 『 Successfully Defeated Gloomfang.』 『 +10,879,700 Exp.』 『 Level Up!』 『 Absorbing Soul.』 『 Absorption Successful.』 『 +19 Strength, +12 Intelligence, +16 Agility, +18 Vitality, + 21 Stamina.』 『 Strength has reached the peak of Unevolved.』 『 Agility has reached the peak of Unevolved.』 『 Intelligence
Neo didn't know what to do about the crowns and tried different methods to interact with them, but everything was futile as they became inactive after the tattoo formed. The Tattoo handed out the same result, inactive, so he left it alone for now and left the chamber to take a bath, as he was still covered in blood. He arrived at the first floor and walked toward a bathroom facility. Everyone in the surrounding area took one look at him before ignoring him as this kind of state was normal here, and they were used to it, but one figure was not as it saw Neo's state and bolted toward the inn. …. 8 p.m. Neo woke up, looking at a pup sleeping on the bed, with drool coming out of its mouth and a butterfly fluttering its wings on its head. Neo's face involuntarily had a smile coming on it. He moved his finger forward, and the butterfly flew over to it and Neo brought it closer to him. "Morning." Bolt woke up and shook its head before growling in response. Neo ruffled its head as he w
Blaze looked at Myra, then at Mira, who was also waiting for his answer with bated breath, and said, "After this." He pointed at the meal, and then asked, "Why?" Myra felt a sense of déjà vu as she took a deep breath and said, "I want to do a team trial." She then waited for him to answer, and her nervousness increased as she didn't hear him say anything and even felt that she asked too much. At this moment, she heard him asking, "What is a team trial?" Mira became stunned and wanted to strangle him, wanting to ask him to give back all of her anxiety. Myra, meanwhile, saw his clueless look and knew that he wasn't pulling their leg and explained what that meant. The team trial, as the name suggested, was a trial when a party complete their trial together. Of course, the trial will become several times more dangerous and challenging, but the rewards would also increase like their limit of attributes would increase, but the result also mattered as the Tower gives a final ranking ran
[Name: Authority of Thief Description: Allows the user to control the essence of thievery, punish and judge one on it. They can steal anything they want from their targets, including skills, abilities, and even memories.] {…} "…" {That's like an upgraded version of Power absorption} "If I take it from someone else and from the name of the skill, they'll lose the ability to use that skill." {Seems that way, and the energy required for this will definitely will be huge.} "About the [Stone Skin]" {Restricts movement.} Neo dropped the matter and thought about ways to strengthen it so that it doesn't have that drawback. His thoughts then went back to corpses of Aurelius and Andromalius. He sent Nether energy into the tattoo but nothing happened. He then tried with Divine energy and then again nothing. "What is happening?" {“Where should I look for the answer?“ Would be the correct statement.} He kept supplying energy, but nothing happened. Helpless, he stopped, and one more thi
As Neo approached the counters, he caught a glimpse of the fairies gracefully tending to the needs of others in the city of Veridale. These fairies, delicate and ethereal, possessed an otherworldly beauty that captivated the eye. Their slender forms shimmered with a radiant luminescence, as if bathed in a soft, golden glow. Their translucent wings, reminiscent of delicate stained-glass, fluttered gently behind them, casting a subtle cascade of iridescent colors in their wake. Each fairy's wings displayed a unique pattern, adorned with intricate designs that resembled intricate filigree. Their attire mirrored the natural elements of Veridale, with garments crafted from gossamer fabrics in hues of pastel greens, blues, and pinks. The fabrics seemed to sway with an unseen breeze, lending an air of enchantment to their presence. Tiny blossoms, intricately woven into their hair and garments, added a touch of whimsy and charm. The fairies' eyes sparkled with a mischievous glimmer, reflec
The trial had Myra travel into the forest of the Twilight and find the temple of the divines to prove her conviction by taking a trial there. He then turned toward Mira, who had a simpler one. She needed to gain the trust of Stormcallers and form a contract with a storm elemental. Neo nodded as he turned toward the city and walked toward it. "We need to gather some information." The girls followed him. They had their guard raised, ready for anything, but Bolt, meanwhile, was very energetic as it ran around, and its body crackled with lightning. Psyche was normal, as it didn't go down from its 'nest.' After traveling for a while, they found a gate, with strange being entering and leaving the "city." These beings were a captivating sight to behold. They moved with grace and fluidity, their forms constantly shifting and flickering like lightning in the sky. Their bodies were a little transparent, which radiated an inner luminosity, casting a soft glow that illuminated their featur
