Tower Ascension - Chapter 67

[Congratulation on completing the first floor]

After they took down the monsters, a message appeared in front of them. Seeing the message, Peter mumbled “I finally understand why those levels were weird but difficult. If crossing the floor could be this easy, then everyone would’ve it.”

“Yeah! Fighting is not a problem but those levels were truly difficult.” Alexa nodded her head answered. For her, the first two levels were hard but the third level was on a completely different level. She almost dies one time.

“Was that truly hard? I found those levels too easy.” Alice pointed at her cheek and spoke.

Hearing her words, everyone gave her a weird glance and Peter asked “Alice, tell me what did you enter in the first three levels?”

“On the first level, I encountered nothing. On the second level, I played in a huge playground. As for the third one, it was a little hard since it was a maze but I didn’t encounter any trouble. So, I easily reached the fourth level.” Alice explained.

When they heard her, all of them glance with weird gazes. Suddenly, Peter bursts into laughter and patted her head.

“It’s good that you are safe.”

He wasn’t worried about her strength but not all kinds of challenges can be tackled with strength. That’s why he was happy for her. Even though it was unfair, he didn’t care.

After all, everything is unfair.

“Congratulation, participations!” Suddenly, the hamster wearing a coat appeared in front of them. His appearance startled them but why they saw him, they calmed down. All of them had met this hamster. He is the admin of the first floor.

“Would you like to receive your rewards and head to the second floor?” The hamster asked as he raised his head.

“Yes!” Peter nodded his head with excitement. Due to the previous battle, he has earned an enormous amount of EXP enough to let him enter level fourteen. Others also got an enormous EXP but they couldn’t improve their levels.

Hearing his words, the hamster nodded his head and snapped his finger. The next moment, a few messages appeared in front of him.

[You received 3+ levels]

[You received one Rare Treasure Chest]

[You received three Common Treasure Chest]

[You received 1000 Mana Coins]

“Open the Rare Treasure Chest!” Peter spoke as he looked at the golden chest. Although this was a rare treasure chest, he knew it can’t be compared with a rare treasure chest on the hidden floor. That treasure chest was unique.

[You received Rare Rank Bow]

[You received Rare Rank Armor]

[You received 5000 Mana Crystals]

[You received Sky Piercing Spear Skill]

Seeing these rewards in the air, Peter froze for a while. Now, he wasn’t alone so he must find out who needs what. He thought for a while and asked “Alexa, can you work with Bow?”

“Yeah! I don’t mind using it.” Alexa nodded her head. The rewards were wrapped in a white bubble.

Peter took out the Bow and gave it to her. He took out the armor and gave it to Alice. Then, he looked at Zhao Ming “I want to take Mana Crystals. Will that be okay?”

“No problem! And, this skill is just right for me.” Zhao Ming shook his head and took the book. As for Peter, he took out held the bubble with mana crystals. In an instant, those disappeared and entered his inventory.

After that, he commanded “Open three Common Treasure Chests!”

[You receive 500 Mana Coins]

[You receive Common Rank Bow]

[You receive Common Rank Ring]

[You receive 500 Mana Coins]

[You receive a Passive Skill]

[You receive an Active Skill]

[You receive 20 Mana Coins]

[You receive Rare Rank Ring]

[You receive Common Rank Ring]

Seeing these items, he suddenly remembered those items he gained from the hidden floor. He thought for a moment and asked “You can take whatever you want.”

“You decide.” Three of them answered at the same time. Their answer startled him but he simply smiled.

“Alright, we have one thousand twenty mana coins which would be 255 for each.” Peter separated the mana coins for each then he looked at the Passive Skill and Active Skill. Basically, both of these skills were common rank.

Alexa took them. Although they weren’t useful to her, she could still sell them. Finally, Zhao Ming chose one rare ring. As for Alice, she took the ring that gives strength. And, Peter took a ring that gives endurance and the bow. To compensate Alice, all of them gave fifty mana coins to her.

That would be one hundred and fifty mana coins. Originally, she wasn’t taking it but they forced her. After all, they don’t want anyone to suffer loss. After taking those rewards, they all turned at the hamster

“So, are you ready to leave?” The hamster asked.

They looked at each other and nodded their head. John also walked near them. When the hamster looked at John, he turned at Peter and asked “Are you sure?”

Peter nods his head and said, “I guess it is just fate.”

The hamster nodded his head and continued “Be careful! He is betting everything on you.”

Hearing his words, Peter’s eyes narrowed. Just when he tried to ask, the hamster snapped his finger and made them disappear. Suddenly, his eyes shrunk.

“Someone messed up with the teleportation. Damn! Who did it?”

For a moment, his eyes were full of anger but soon a trace of sadness appeared in his eyes.

“Hodder, can he really do that? If he succeeds, we can be free but what if he fails? Those guys are already corrupted. They won’t let him go that easily. Hush! I don’t understand why you are so optimistic.”

On Second Floor,

Peter, Alexa, Alice, John, and Zhao Ming appeared in the middle of the city. They appeared next to the fountain which made them a little confused.

[Restriction has been cleared]

[You leveled up]

[You leveled up]

As soon as he landed, a few messages appeared in front of him, bringing a spark to his lips. Before he looked around, the new status appeared in front of him.

Originally, he needed a powerful bow for his arrow skill but he needs the Mana Crystals even more. That’s why he decided to be settled with mana crystals. After all, if he wants to be rich, the mana crystal was the fasted route.

“Peter, it seems like we are in a certain trouble.” Alexa’s voice rang on his ears and startled him. He turned to her and followed her gaze. His gaze followed the group of people at the surroundings.

“No wonder we got teleported to the city. Normally, we should land near the grassland.” Peter’s expression turned ugly when he saw the group of people around him. All of these were incredibly powerful. He gritted his teeth and tried to find a way to escape.

“What should we do?” Zhao Ming asked with a serious expression. He was still considering whether to escape alone or follow Peter.

“Escape! All of you escape right now! I will meet you later.” Peter bites his lips and shouted.

“No, I am not leaving you alone.” Alice instantly held his hands tightly.

“Yeah, we don’t want to leave you alone.” Alexa nodded her head.

“You don’t understand. I can fight them. Don’t worry, I will not die. But, I can’t protect you guys. So, you must run.” Peter already had a plan in his head. He knew what he must do. That’s why he was asking them to leave.

He crouched down and grabbed Alice. He looked at her eyes and said “Remember, I won’t die. But, I can’t see you dying. Believe in me!”

He instantly grabbed her and threw her to Zhao Ming.

“Run!”

As he shouted, Zhao Ming held her tightly and ran away. At this moment, Alexa held John on her back and ran away as well.

“Don’t let them escape!” The man standing in the middle shouted as he pointed the sword at them. In an instant, ten people rushed towards them. All of them were level twenty-five. And, all of them were also powerful.

“System, hundred points to agility!” Peter kicked on the ground and rushed towards them as he spoke. The next moment he kicked the ground, he was already in front of the man at the front. The sword in his hand swings to the side but the man still saw him.

Ding!
