Tower Ascension - Chapter 76

Alice stood in front of the humanoid beast and clenched her small hand. After reading the panel, she knew she must defeat this humanoid beast or else, it would be devastating. There is no room for compromise.

“Great Fire Dragon Transformation!”

Without any hesitation, she transformed into a fire dragon. The red scales appeared around her body. It covered her hands and legs. Her nails remained the same but the extra layer of dragon nails emerged. Her hands seemed like the claw of a dragon.

A pair of red wings appeared behind her and a tail also emerged from her butt. Her height nearly reached seven feet.

Bang!

When the humanoid beast saw her transformation, he also opened a pair of black wings behind him. His wings flapped and his body burst towards the sky. His wings flapped so hard that it created the sonic boom in the sky.

But, the next second, Alice also flapped her wings and rushed towards the sky. The flames encircled her hand as she prepared an attack. Her speed didn’t lose to that humanoid beast but the man was flying too high in the sky.

“Fire Rocket!”

Alice clapped her hands and slides them away, creating a spark of flame. The flame transformed into a rod and flew towards the sky. Alice stopped as soon as she launched the attack and fell towards the ground.

Boom!

When the flame rocket reached a certain distance, it exploded. The explosion was so powerful that it covered thousands of meters in radius. After falling to a certain distance, Alice swings her body and adjusted it.

She flapped her wings and flew out of the range of the explosion. After reaching a certain distance, she turned her head towards the sky and flapped her wings. With her insane speed, she flew towards the sky.

After she flew over the explosion, she didn’t see the humanoid beast.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a figure dashed out of the explosion and startled her. She hurriedly released her flames and formed a sphere around her. The man who came out was none other than a humanoid beast. His entire body was covered with black feathers.

He released the black energy out of his fist and smashed at the flame barrier. His fist struck it and blew away the flames like the massive wind. Seeing this, Peter and others clenched their fists. They didn’t expect the opponent could break that fire barrier with ease.

But as soon as the barrier got broken, a massive cannon made out of flames appeared in front of him. Only then, others realize why the barrier was weak. Alice was creating this cannon and didn’t get enough time to strengthen her barrier.

“Fire Cannon!”

Bang! Boom!

Her fire cannon shot a powerful ball of flame that struck the humanoid beast. Its speed was so high that it pushed the humanoid beast several miles away and exploded. The humanoid beast was in the middle of the explosion but Alice didn’t take a break.

She immediately fly above the explosion and condensed the massive amount of flames. The next moment, ten giant pillars of flames emerged from those flames. This made Peter and others speechless.

Alice was using her flame as if there is no end to it. This is impossible for anyone else. Because to use so much flame, one must spend a lot of mana. And, nobody has infinite mana. But, Alice is different. She was using only twenty percent for her own mana and eighty percent of mana from the surroundings.

This was only possible because of her physique. And, this is what makes her so special. Except for the old man, nobody knows about her physique.

At this moment, her ten flame pillars stood above the explosion. As soon as the flame extinguished, Alice clenched her fist, ready to strike at any moment. In the middle of the explosion, there was a huge ball, covered with black feathers.

Slowly, the feathers started fading away. Inside the feathers, it was the humanoid beast. He wasn’t injured much but his feather was burned. He felt the intense heat from the sky and raised his head. When he saw ten giant pillars of flame falling towards him, he shouted “What kind of monster are you?”

At this moment, his voice was full of hostility, fear, and anger. He didn’t understand how Alice could create so many devastating attacks that should have emptied her mana. Although she only used three attacks and one defense, she was still consuming her mana through fire dragon transformation.

The humanoid beast released an immense amount of black energy and condensed the ten giant tentacles. These tentacles were ordinary. When Peter saw that, his eyes shrunk. He could feel a different kind of force in those tentacles.

“Power! He has comprehended Power Intent just like your power attribute in sword energy.” Zhao Ming’s eyes shrunk as he explained. With the Power Intent, the battle could shift drastically. But, he didn’t understand how this humanoid beast comprehended Power Intent.

Intents are the smaller form of laws. The destruction or power laws are harder to comprehend. So, people try to comprehend the weaker and duplicate versions of these. And, thus the intent was created.

Intent holds the advantages of law but can’t be used as law. If one comprehends fire law, he can use the fire law to set fire in anything even in water. But, Intent can’t do such things. And, one can use law on its own.

But, Intent needs a carrier. In this case, black energy is the carrier for the Power Intent.

As soon as those tentacles appeared, they grabbed the pillars from the middle. The intense heat of the pillars started melting those tentacles, but the constant flow of black energy kept healing those tentacles.

“Ten Pillars of Heaven!”

“Ten Pillars of Heaven!”

“Ten Pillars of Heaven!”

“Ten Pillars of Heaven!”

“…..” At this moment, the humanoid beast knew he had fucked up. Peter and others understood this man had fucked up. The more desperate she got, the more power she uses. He doesn’t know that she was using the mana from the surroundings.

That’s why he spent half of his energy creating those tentacles. Before he could do anything, forty flame pillars fell on him.

Booooooom!

As soon as one of the flame pillars struck that man, it exploded, followed by others at the same time. At this moment, a screen panel appeared in front of them.

[Congratulation on defeating the enemy]

[The island has entered the safe mode for ten minutes. After ten minutes, the island will fall at its regular speed.]

[To ensure your safety, win the next battle or admit defeat early.]

[If you win three battles within ten minutes, you will complete the dungeon]

Seeing the panel, Alice hurriedly flew towards the ground. As she landed on the ground, she dispersed her dragon transformation and dashed towards Peter.

She jumped into his embrace and shouted “Brother, I won!”

Peter didn’t know what to say. To say she was naïve, her thoughts were pretty mature. To say she was mature, she acts cute and lovely in front of him. He knew this is what she wished to be. So, he can’t interfere in this.

He sighed and patted her head “I knew you would win. How could my sister lose?”

Hearing his praise, Alice proudly raised her head.

“So, who is going next?” Zhao Ming ignored her and asked.

Peter turned his head at John and said “You go!”

“Huh! Why him? Shouldn’t we try to cross this dungeon as soon as possible?” Zhao Ming stared at Peter and asked.

Peter shook his head and said, “Do you think this dungeon is going to be that easy?”

Hearing his question, Zhao Ming froze and shook his head.

“I was always curious why Alexa’s grandfather asked me to form a team rather than soloing the tower. After all, I am not weak and it would be fast. But, then I started thinking more about this and realized he might be correct.”

“Do you think the tower will let us win that easily? Although it is just an assumption, I think the next opponent will be twice as stronger as before.” Peter answered as he deeply stared at the sky.

“Then, why are we letting him go? Shouldn’t I or you go for the battle?” Zhao Ming looked at him with confusion and asked.

“You should focus more on my words. If the next opponent is twice as strong as the previous opponent then the next opponent after that will be four times stronger which none of us can defeat. But, if we lose, then the strength of the next opponent might get halved.”

“After all, if it doesn’t follow that rule, then there is no chance of crossing this dungeon. So, we sent John. If it goes as my assumption, he will lose and the power of the next opponent will be closer to Alexa. She would be able to win.”

“And, if she wins then, it is good but even if she doesn’t, the power of the next opponent will only decrease then you can easily win. As for the final opponent, if Alexa doesn’t win, its power will be equal to the first or maybe second opponent.”

“But, if she wins, then, you could still win which means I don’t even need to fight and we can cross this dungeon with ease. After all, your strength is twice as strong as Alexa. That’s why I want to send John for the second battle, Alexa for the third, you for the fourth and me for the final ”

“Of course, if my assumption is wrong, then we would still win.. Unless it is the condition where the power level only doubles up after each battle whether the opponent loses or wins, we have chances to win in every other situation.”
