Gaming Sword Magician - Chapter 176

And at this moment, Whittaker saw an eye-grabbing announcement plastered on the skies of the tenth floor: ‹Tenth floor Ranking board, Three-Clawed Cursive Panther Secret Boss Crowned Seat: Life Taker No.1 (low-ranked ruler!)›

He was the fastest to kill this boss as an E-ranker. Hence, he was crowned as the no.1 contestant to kill the secret boss of the tenth floor. This would be forever recorded on the ranking board of the tenth floor and he would be a legend on this tower for every newbie. His name will be known by a lot of contestants until someone manages to kill the phantom in a shorter time than him and becomes the new crowned one.

Shua! Shua! Shua!

After this announcement, the remains of the Secret boss of the tenth floor pixelated, and then numerous items appeared in its place.

In the monster tower, special rewards were handed over to any contestant killing Boss and Floor Boss. Most of the time, the reward was an increase in total mana capacity or an increase in the length of the mana pool for mage. Similarly, it was an increase in battle energy or strengthening of the body for a battle master. However, there was a rank limit.

An E-ranker will receive a reward if he kill an E-F-D rank or higher Boss or secret boss but a D-rank contestant won’t receive any rewards if he kills an F-rank boss or secret boss. The rules of the tower states that the bosses can only be one rank weaker than the contestant otherwise there won’t be any reward.

Furthermore, the rewards were handed out to the entire team as a whole according to their contribution. This was extremely beneficial for Whittaker as was an E-ranker who had solo killed an E-rank secret boss with 4 mins. Since he was the sole contributor, all of the rewards were obtained by him.

It dropped a lot of good things. Excitedly, Whittaker moved closer to the formation walls to see what the Three-Clawed Cursive phantom dropped!

“Corrosive Fingernails, a crafting material; Steel- Fur Breastplate, a 1-star armor!; Mana Light, Increase the length of the mana pool by 100; Battle Light; Increase battle energy by 2.5 points; Three-Clawed Cursive Sword, a 3-star top quality weapon; Maze Formation control Medallion, the treasure I have been looking for!”

“Secret boss of the tower is definitely worth a lot of money. A single kill and I got a lot of items. No wonder why the currency of the tower is more valuable than the currency of the real world! No wonder why the peoples are crazy to explore the tower!” Whittaker thought after he inspected all the items that the boss dropped.

These items can be sold in the real world. The effect of mana light and battle light were also applicable in real life. His mana pool will increase in size after he absorbs the light, so will his battle energy after he absorbs the battle light.

Lastly, the medallion is used to control the formation set up in this forest. It can be used to open a path that leads directly out of the Evergreen Maze Forest.

Since the Secret boss was dead, there was no need for the formation to remain erect and he also needed to pick up the loot. In mere seconds, the black-haired young boy retrieved his formation items after he caused the instantaneous collapse of the Mana Wall-Flame Wave Confinement and Kill Formation.

“The power of formation is simply Incredible! It’s just as Elder Zachary said, Formation master possesses the ability to defeat enemies more powerful than themselves. They can even solo an army all alone.” Whittaker exclaimed after recollecting the formations items.

In an online video, he had seen the strength of the three-clawed cursive Panther for himself. Even a group of D-ranked awakened are sometimes not enough to trap and take down this Secret boss; However, just by using a formation consisting of a few formation items and two magical rune designs he soloed a Secret boss.

‘But there are three weaknesses of a formation master. First of all, a person needs sufficient funds to purchase formation items. Secondly, they need sufficient time to set up a formation. Lastly, the enemies have to enter the range of the formation!’

Whittaker’s comprehension about formations reached a deeper level as he stored the equipment and picked up the battle light and Mana light in each hand, and he then absorbed both of them at the same time by putting them in his mouth.

Gulp! The Mana Light rushed to his mana pool and Whittaker could feel that it was increasing the size of his mana pool. Whereas the battle light rushed to his battle core and Whittaker could feel that the total capacity of his battle energy is increasing.

After several minutes, Noah’s notification popped up in his vision.

‹Mana pool total capacity: 2000»2100›

‹Units of mana in mana pool: 2100/1600. Units of mana in Mana-devouring hair (passive): 100. Total Mana units: 1700 ›

‹Battle energy increased: 35»37.5›

Whittaker just needed to eat rare treasure and increase the size of his mana pool to 3000 and then meditate or kill bosses in the monster tower to make a breakthrough to D-rank as a mage. Similarly, he just needed to execute some posture, exercise, ear rare treasures or kill bosses to increase his battle energy and reach D-rank battle master.

All the situation was a possibility for him but first, he needs to reach the safe zone of the tenth floor. For that purpose, the formation control medallion was utilized.

‹Formation control medallion (low-rank)

Condition: Personal item (Bounded to Life Taker)

Effect: Allows the user to open a safe path that leads out of the Evergreen Maze Forest›

This item was bounded to Whittaker and others couldn’t steal it. Moreover, personal items couldn’t be sold either. Hence, it could only be used by him.

He clutched the medallion in his hand. Then, with a slight raise of his hand, the medallion released a twinkling yellowish light and a holographic screen opened in his vision.

‹Utilize the power of the medallion to open up a path that leads out of the forest?›

‹Yes/No›

Without a doubt, he choose Yes.

Hu Hu Hu Hu!

The surrounding began to shake. To his right, the overgrown bushes and trees drilled into the ground, left behind was an open ground surrounding by greenery on each side. It was a clear winding path, a trail that led out of the Evergreen Maze forest!
