Tower Ascension - Chapter 87

From the gate, Peter walked inside with a weird expression on his face. Although it was already night, he could still feel things around him. He was confused because the violence spreading just inside the gate was three times more than the day. He couldn’t understand the reason for a moment.

But, he didn’t stop. He did take the sword in his hand and coat it with the sword’s energy. Although he wasn’t sure to attack randomly, he won’t wait around if others attack him.

Splash!

Suddenly, he swings his hand to the right and sliced the head of a man. The man was holding a hammer above his head. If Peter hadn’t reacted in time, his head would have been smashed.

At the same time, he got twenty-seven EXP but he quickly ignored it and walked ahead. He found these people were getting truly active. Suddenly, he halted his footstep. He raised his palm and six swords made out of sword energy appeared above his palm.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! ……

Splash! Splash! Splash! ……

The next second, six new EXP notifications rang on his mind while he continued on his path. At this moment, there were two girls who were scared and begging for help.

While Peter walked ahead, he walked very slowly. He was waiting for more people to take action. He wanted to see what would happen to those girls. And, if bad things happen, he will get more chances to attack.

Splash! Splash! Splash! Splash!

And, just as he thought, the moment those girls ran away, a few more thugs stopped their path and tried to assault them. These thugs made Peter remember why he didn’t want to kill people randomly. He is handsome. If he wants a lady, he can get plenty with ease especially with his good looks and well-built body.

And, what’s so good about being evil? If you truly want to be evil, you must abandon your good personality? Because you will live with the guilt if you don’t. And, he can’t do that. After all, he still has his parents, sister, and a girlfriend.

Peter continued on his journey but slowly. He was trying to find more opportunities. But, after two minutes, he noticed something. It seems everyone in this city was bad.

After those two girls successfully left far, they killed a man who was weaker than them and took his possession. Seeing this, he couldn’t help but tilt his head. The next second, twenty swords appeared before him.

With his new mastery over sword skill, he could produce up to thirty swords with his spirit power. He didn’t hesitate to shoot his twenty swords. Because, now he didn’t care who was wrong or who was right.

Everyone just wanted to loot and kill each other. That’s why Peter knew he didn’t have to hold his hands anymore.

Splash! Splash! Splash! Splash!

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

In an instant, twenty people fell to the ground but this instantly attracted the attention of other people. When they saw Peter alone, they instantly rushed towards him with the intention to kill him.

Peter frowned when they saw them rushing towards him. But, suddenly an idea came to his mind.

Royal Rumble!

Inside the ring, everyone fights each other but when they encounter a very strong opponent, they instantly gang up on him to defeat him fast.

But, this meant nothing to him. Peter closed his eyes and the flames gushed out of his body, gathering at his sword. Two swords on his hands blazed with flame as he raise his hand and swings his body.

“True Sword Skill- Thousand Burning Sun Hurricane!”

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The hurricane of fireballs encircled those people inside it and burned them alive. The screams of those people rang throughout the city. In an instant, hundreds of people were caught inside the explosions of those fireballs in a hurricane.

“Level-up!” As soon as his quest got completed, Peter asked for the level-up. The next moment, he reached the thirty-three level and a new status appeared in front of him.

“Nice! My stamina and vitality were very low. I need to bring them to the stat of others.” Peter muttered as he walked out of the corpses of hundreds of people.

As he walked away, he muttered “It wasn’t hard especially when they were the ones coming to kill me. The people of this city seem pretty approach. I can easily unsheathe my sword and kill them when they show such hospitality.”

“But for now, I should return back to the hotel. I don’t want to attract level thirty-five yet. I need to slaughter others and coming at different times and different places seems a good idea. And, that idea needs to be tested as well.”

After few minutes, he reached in front of the hotel. After he entered the hotel, he found a huge crowd gathered. It was nearly twice as big as day. And, the hotel lady was quite busy as well. As he walked in, the hotel lady spotted him and greeted him.

There was a trace of worries in her eyes. He was surprised when he saw her expression. After greeting her, he returned to his room.

“Zhao Ming, do you know why the hotel lady was act…?”

Just when he walked in, he saw Zhao Ming over the young girl who showed them the room in the morning. Zhao Ming’s lips were over her lips and she wasn’t resisting him at all.

Zhao Ming and the young girl also found him. Three were frozen for a moment. But, Peter quickly left while saying “You two can continue. Let’s talk later!”

While saying that, Peter also left thumbs up for Zhao Ming. He returned back to the hotel main room while asking for his status.

Peter was startled seeing the new numbers on the quest. But, he quickly got the idea about the numbers and focused entirely on the status panel.

“Umm! System, can you remove those traits and inventory from the system status? It feels quite big for me to look at it every time.”

A few seconds later, a new status panel appeared in front of him with few changes.
