Tower Ascension - Chapter 90

Hearing his words, a smile appeared on her lips as she raised her head.

“Do you think I am bad?”

Peter shook his head and spoke “Everyone is selfish and true love is hard. Everything needs a start. Just think of this as an arranged marriage. Well, this isn’t bad. But, I am not sure it will last long. I can’t leave my girlfriend.”

“If she can’t accept this, then I can’t accept you either. But, I can still protect you, give you the status that you want. At least, as long as I don’t die. Now, can we talk about the way to become the king?”

At first, Sunny’s expression darkens. Although she didn’t love Peter, she knew she had to start from somewhere. And, she is willing to do so. But, if Peter isn’t willing to do anything then how can she do it?

But, she was still satisfied with his promise to give her status and protection. After all, that’s all she wanted. If she has the status, she can grow stronger and that’s her end goal. And until she gets strong, she will need someone’s protection from the Information Office.

Of course, she doesn’t believe Peter can truly protect her especially if the higher-ups attack her. That’s why she wanted to get emotionally attached to Peter. Because she knows Information Office holds great importance to Peter, at least the young miss of Information Office does.

She knew they do not want to kill Peter. And, as long as he doesn’t die, she will not die.

“There is a mana vein under this city. But, that is only the cover. The truth is completely hidden. That mana vein isn’t a normal mana vein, it is the source of Holy Dragon Luck. And, this is saved for the son of Information Office leader’s nephew.”

“This is why they have established a hotel in this part even though the motto of Information Office is to share information and earn profit. This is completely different from their motto. We are here to keep it safe. And, only I know about this.”

“Even I wasn’t informed about this. They just build a hotel in this slaughter city and gave me the responsibility to take care of it. I was always very curious about this project. Because they were not only losing money, they were also very strict on establishing their control over this place.”

“For that, they even teamed up with Ascension Guild. The Information Office Leader’s nephew is a genius who has inherited Divine Sun Physique. Next month, he will reach sixteen and they will send him to climb the tower.”

“Generally it takes a month to absorb the source of the Holy Dragon Luck. That’s why you need to get started right now. But, there are two things we must do before anything else. First, we need to gather your team so that they can protect you.”

“Of course, while you absorb the Holy Dragon Luck, your surrounding will gather an immense amount of mana from the entire floor, so anyone near you will improve at the rapid speed. On another hand, this will lead many others towards you.”

“Second thing you need to die is slaughter this city. Of course, you can also try to conquer them. It might just work but if you want to convince them to leave, it won’t work. The people are very cautious about their improvement.”

“If they leave this place, they know they can’t improve much. That’s why they will not leave this place. And on another hand, they will actively try to kill you if you show them mercy. Because during your absorption process, you will be at your weakest state.”

Hearing her words, Peter frowned and asked “But, I don’t understand one thing. If I steal something from Information Office, they will definitely hunt me down. So, why are you siding with me? You should know that I am not strong enough to face them if they want to use every method they have to kill me.”

Peter’s words made her mouth open wide. She stared at him and said “I never thought you would think such a thing. This made me, even more, convinced of my decision. As for your question, you are half right. First, there are reasons that made me choose you.”

Her tone started tearing up as she continued “First, I want revenge and I don’t care even if I die. Two years ago, that beast assaulted me. Not only did he do that to me, he even made his other friends assault me, treating me like a pig.”

“I am just a lowly girl without any status or power. But, I wanted revenge. I wanted to make him suffer. I know I am taking advantage of you. But, I want him dead. Of course, I might be wrong. They might attack you and kill me. But, it doesn’t matter.”

“Because once you absorb the Holy Dragon Luck, it will merge with your body. The best part of Holy Dragon Luck is its power to make your enemy unlucky. This is why the people from the top floor leave this tower and fight.”

“The effect of Holy Dragon Luck only shines inside the tower. Once you go outside, it won’t affect you. And, if two people with Holy Dragon Luck fights, their luck will cancel each other. Of course, going outside is a bit harmful to anyone.”

“Because once you go outside, you might retain your power but it will only be a few percentages of your true strength. This is why everyone has their eyes on your key but they also do not want to kill you now. Otherwise, they would’ve made their move.”

“Because crossing the hidden floor, you would need an incredible strength. It’s almost impossible unless your powers suddenly burst out into higher levels like taking power-ups potions. But, even those won’t be able to help you.”

“That means whoever crossed the hidden floor is one in the existence. Of course, if you die, another one with the power to cross the hidden floor will be born. But, the problem is it might take ages. Since nobody can cross the hundredth floor, they can only gather three Holy Items of Trinity.”

“Trident of Destruction, Book of Knowledge, and Avatar of Vishnu. You already possess the Trident of Destruction. With that, you can pretty much destroy anything as long as you have enough power. Book of Knowledge will grant you the comprehension of laws and supreme knowledge of the tower.”

“Finally, Avatar of Vishnu will allow you to create the avatar with the same potential as you and the growth level even higher than you. But, you would still be able to control them and even merge with them. Trident of Destruction represents pure destruction, end, and rebirth of everything.”

“Book of Knowledge gives birth to the knowledge of everything which represents the creation of everything.”

“Avatar of Vishnu represents preservation which can be used to preserve different universes, different domains, at the same time. Book of Knowledge is found at the twenty-fifth hidden floor. And, Avatar of Vishnu can be found in fifties hidden floor. Once you get all three of these, you can challenge the hardest hidden floor which is the seventy-fifth hidden floor, and get the ability to merge all of these with you.”

“Yes, this will not only grant you the power of Trinity but also remove all of the restrictions. I don’t know much about this. But, it is said if you pass seventy-fifth hidden floor, you will be pretty much able to pass the hundredth floor.”

“Unfortunately, except for you, nobody has crossed the hidden floors. This is creating two different voices on the upper floor. One voice wants to keep you until you cross the seventy-fifth floor, and then kill you.”

“But, another voice wants to kill you. Because they feel if you cross the seventy-fifth floor, you will be unbeatable on the same floor. They want a person who is completely under their control to cross these hidden floors.”

“That’s why they are doing everything to learn about your people outside the tower. Because they can use them to threaten you. But, Hodder and some other admins are hiding your information completely to the point even Information Office knows very little about you.”

But, soon she stopped. She felt strong killing intent from Peter. She knew this was because she mentioned his family. She couldn’t help but sigh.

“If your family is your weak point, it will only make matter worse. You must reach the twenty-fifth floor as fast as you can and get the second guardian key. On the tenth floor, you will get the aura to hide your presence inside the tower.”

“You need to buy those. I believe you will have more than enough fame points until then. Buy as much as you can. Only then you will be able to keep your family safe.”

Hearing her words, Peter’s killing intent calm down and he took a deep breath.. He turned his eyes at Sunny and asked “But, I don’t understand one thing. Why are admins protecting my information?”
