Tower Ascension - Chapter 78
[You have failed the level. Your island will drop twenty times faster once it starts falling.]
The cloud of dust appeared and everything became clear to others. Zhao Ming was laid on his chest. The blood gushed out of his mouth and the tip of the spear was broken. On another side, the humanoid beast stood with the blood dripping down his hand.
The blue light flashed above him and he disappeared. Peter hurriedly rushed towards Zhao Ming and pulled him away. When he held Zhao Ming in his hand, he found his entire arm was covered with blood. Only then, he realized Zhao Ming wasn’t just bleeding out of his mouth, there were many skin ruptures all around his body.
This shows just how powerful that humanoid beast was. He was able to injure Zhao Ming to this extent. Peter hurriedly took out a healing potion and puts it in his mouth. After drinking the healing potions, he puts Zhao Ming on the ground and clenched his fist with a solemn expression.
Alexa defeated her opponent with ease but so what? Zhao Ming was brutally defeated by this humanoid beast. This time even he was shaken by the display of his powers. He clenched his hands and took a long breath.
“System, show my status!” Peter asked for his status and a panel appeared in front of him.

‘Hu! Here goes nothing. I must defeat my opponent at any cost. If I can’t beat it with my strength, I must use Trident of Destruction.’ Peter reached the middle of the island and took a deep breath.
Only five minutes remained before the island starts falling. And, once it does, it will fall twenty times faster than the previous speed. That means he must do everything to finish the battle within five minutes.
The blue light fell in front of him and the humanoid beast emerged out it. But, this time, he encountered the same opponent that Zhao Ming and John encountered. This wasn’t a normal humanoid beast.
Whoosh!
Without waiting for a single second, he clenched his fist and dashed towards the humanoid beast. His internal energy entered his veins as he throws his fist at the humanoid beast.
Bang!
The humanoid beast let the fist reach him and slightly duck to the side. He clenched his fist and smashed towards Peter’s stomach. But, Peter already saw that coming. Even so, it was harder to block since he only saw after that humanoid beast moved, so he had to smash his fist.
Only then did he realize why Zhao Ming lost. When he punched the humanoid beast’s fist, he felt like he has struck the metallic bell. Although he succeed in pushing the fist away from his stomach, he couldn’t break it.
He took the step to the left and moved to the humanoid beast’s side. The next moment, he bursts out his flame mana and condensed at his fist. But, suddenly, the humanoid beast smashed his chest with his elbow.
Bang! Thud! Thud!
Peter was smashed on the ground and he rolled a few times until he collided with the tree.
“Gah!”
Peter coughed out blood as his body stopped. He tried to get up but the pain was all over his body. He couldn’t even move properly. Fortunately, his vitality was strong enough to heal him quickly.
But, when he raised his head, his eyes shrunk. The humanoid beast was already rushing towards him. He quickly pushed his hands and lifted his body. He landed on his foot and spent ten points of internal energy to create dominating force.
Two swords appeared in his hands as he gripped them tightly. He smashed his foot on the ground and leaped on the air. He swings his body on the air and released an intense amount of flames, spending ten mana points at once.
“Fire Dragon Wings!”
At this moment, the flames condensed at the edge of his swords. He spun and formed the wings with the flames.
Bang!
His body dashed towards the humanoid beast with an intense speed. But, the humanoid beast clenched his fist and smashed against his swords.
Peter’s swords were at the front as they released the flames all over his body. When the humanoid beast smashed his sword, for the moment, his flames disappeared, or rather they were completely extinguished.
But, he was using mana to condense flames so when the fist struck his swords, the flames started burning once again.
Peter tried to block the power of his fist but he was simply unable to hold that much power. His speed died and he landed on his foot. Even so, he was still blocking the fist with his swords.
He didn’t hesitate to spend another ten points of internal energy and condense enough strength on his arms to hold that fist.
“Ahhhh!”
When Peter started pushing him back with the dominating force, the humanoid beast screamed and released his Power Intent. The next moment, Peter realized not only he was getting pushed back, but his swords were also breaking.
“Greed!”
He gritted his teeth and activated the greed. He wasn’t sure whether he can steal anything from the opponent but he wasn’t willing to just give up.
“Fire Dragon Cleaving Claw!”
Peter shouted as he released all of his flames and condensed the giant fire dragon above him. His fire dragon swings its claw towards the humanoid beast.
Seeing that attack, he hurriedly rushed back and stomped his foot on the ground. His body leaped in the air as he dashed towards the claw and smashed his fist.
Boom!
The entire dragon exploded upon the collision.
Thud!
As soon as the fire dragon exploded, the humanoid beast landed on the ground. But, his eyes shrunk when he saw the sword arriving above his head. He raised both of his hands and crossed them.
He imbued his black energy in his fist and released his power intent.
“Advance Sword Skill- Giant Supernova!”
Peter pulled down his sword. Its edge was coated with internal energy. The flames were condensed into a thin layer outside the sword while the internal energy was coated with the sword energy.
Bang! Crack! Splash!
When his sword struck the humanoid beast’s forearms, it collided against the heavy black energy. For a moment, it felt like he had collided against another sword or a weapon but the sword energy was pushed by the internal energy.
It started breaking the black energy as soon as it broke, his sword slashed the forearm. The flames had made his sword sharper. He was using barbecue grilling skills more effectively.
Bang!
The humanoid beast suddenly kicked Peter’s chest and retreated dozens of meters. He stomped his feet on the ground and dashed towards Peter. He clenched his fist as the blood covered his hands.
“Great Immortal Breaking the Void”
When the humanoid beast uses this skill, his entire fist got coated with the black energy and the power intent burst out of him. It merges together with his black energy. At this moment, Peter took a deep breath and stood on his place.
He raised his sword and released his mana and internal energy. At this moment, he didn’t release them in a small amount. He directly released half of his internal energy and mana at once.
The mana and internal energy moved to his sword. The mana formed the flames and the internal energy coated the flame. It encircled his and rose to the sky. When it reached the sky, this new energy transformed into a dragon.
