Tower Ascension - Chapter 93

The next moment, a cool breeze touched his skin. Inside his body, the mana and internal energy flooded. His strength, agility, vitality, and stamina also soared to a whole new level. At the same time, Peter felt his sword energy soaring for some reason.

He didn’t understand at first but when he looked at his status, he finally understood.

“From level four to level eight, I am only two-level away from upgrading True Sword Skill. Fortunately, it is a skill gifted by the system. I can improve it just by getting more proficiency.” Peter muttered after looking at his status. He turned his head around and walked towards Zhao Ming and Sunny.

“So, you did huh! I guess we will be working alone.” Sunny murmured as she saw Peter walking towards her. Half of his clothes were burned. Fortunately, his underwear was still strong.

“You can not put us and alone together. And, worrying about a small group of people is much easier than worrying about too many. We don’t have time. We don’t have energy. Let’s just go with the flow. As for the future threat, we will just face them when they come.” Peter shook his head and reassured her.

He wanted to comfort her but his attention was grabbed by the status panel in front of him.

[You have completed the Quest]

[You have received the regular rewards]

[God of Slaughter has sensed your kills. He has taken an interest in you.]

[You are granted a skill]

‘Woah! God of Slaughter? I guess my act of killing thousands of humans made him feel closely related to me. Wait, did it just say he sensed me? So, does this mean gods can sense me in a certain scenario?’ Peter’s brain got wrecked for a moment but he quickly bruised it off.

He opened his inventory separately and found the new skill.

[Items- Healing Potion*15 (C/R), Sword*3, Bow*1, Ring*6, Passive Skill*1, Armor*2 Active Skill*1, Wooden Arrows Skill, Mana Coins*4165, Key of Guardian*1, Trident of Destruction, Mana Crystals*16500, Active Skill*1 (L), Common Treasure Chest*1]

[C- Common, R-Rare, M-Mystic, E-Epic, L-Legendary]

Seeing the active skill, he couldn’t help but click on it. Seeing his behavior, Zhao Ming and Sunny understood that he was using his system. So, they didn’t disturb him,

[Billion Swords Return to the Sect

Rank- Legendary

Description- One sword can make a difference if it is equivalent to billion swords. And, a billion swords can make a difference when a shield can’t block them.

Effect 1: Allow Climber to condense billions of swords in a single sword

Effect 2: Climber can store the single sword in his body and produce more swords from it

Effect 3: Climber can fill the main sword with his sword energy whenever he has the chance.]

‘Holy shit! This is insane. Doesn’t this mean I can stay at home and forge a legendary sword that will never run out of sword energy?’ Peter couldn’t help but open his mouth wide. At this moment, his Stone Heart suddenly got stuck in the traffic.

But, the traffic light turned green soon and he quickly recovered. As he recovered, his brain started thinking more seriously and several thoughts rang in his brain.

‘Wait, giving me a legendary skill out of nowhere? It seems this God of Slaughter is being too generous. But, why? There should be more than thousands of people who have slaughtered thousands of people. So, why me?’

‘Or, is he running a charity?’

Peter didn’t know how to answer this. So, he quickly removed those thoughts and said.

“Learn!”

[Would you like to consume one slot of Active Skill for Billion Swords Return to the Sect?]

[Yes] [No]

Peter didn’t hesitate to click on yes. After all, he was already at the thirty-fifth level which means he can store up to eight active skills but he only had four. Now, this active skill makes the number five. After his slot was consumed, the information about this skill entered his brain.

In less than a few seconds, he memorized the entire book. He turned his head at Sunny and said “Let’s start!”

Sunny was startled by his reaction. But, she still nodded her head. Peter turned his head at Zhao Ming and said “For a month, I will rely on you.”

Zhao Ming nodded his head and Peter took out the Trident of Destruction.

“For a month, you can use this. But, remember, each time you use this, you will lose one year of your lifespan. So, be careful.”

This made Zhao Ming stare at Peter with confusion. Peter smiled and said “Don’t worry, if you betray me, even if this trident could boost your attack by five times, you will still die at my hands. Of course, I trust you and that’s why I gave you this.”

Zhao Ming didn’t understand where his confidence comes from but he has already regarded Peter as his friend. He wouldn’t betray his own friend. He nodded his head and took the trident in his hand.

“And, when others arrive, tell them to train hard. Once I come out, we are going to the next floor.”

“Alright!” Zhao Ming nodded his head and Peter finally left towards Sunny.

Zhao Ming stood there while holding the trident in his hand. For a moment, he was quite confused. In fact, if it was someone else, they might have run away with this trident. But, he wasn’t stupid nor he was a betrayer.

He couldn’t help but helplessly shook his head “Now, I need to explain this properly to that little brat. I hope she doesn’t start attacking me out of nowhere.”

Murmuring to himself, Zhao Ming sat down in front of the mass of corpses. There were so many corpses that he couldn’t even count properly. He sighed and waited.

On another side, Peter had already followed Sunny to the back of the hotel. The backyard was just a garden. After she reached near the garden, she took out a small chip from her hand and placed it on the ground.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The next moment, that chip starts sending huge shockwaves. These shockwaves were so powerful that even Zhao Ming was trembling to another side. Slowly, the ground cracked and the golden light burst out.

Sunny turned her head at Peter and said “Jump down! You will find a pool of golden liquid. Meditate in that pool for an entire month. The Holy Dragon Luck will enter your body and slowly reshape your talent.”

Peter nodded his head and jumped.

“Wait, aren’t you even going to doubt me a little?” Sunny couldn’t help but shout.

“Haha! I will say the same thing I told Zhao Ming. You can try but believe me, the betrayal is the worst thing that you could do to yourself. Because you will not even get a chance to regret….”

Slowly, his voice starts fading away. Peter was going down at a great speed. The distance was quite huge.

Splash!

After two minutes, he finally landed on the golden water. But, as he landed, he sank until his legs hit the bottom. And, when he stood up, he realized the water only reached his neck. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes while standing.

He can’t hold his breath.

How can he even think of sitting down? He didn’t know whether this will work or not. But, he was going to try. But, suddenly, a scroll fall down from the top and struck his head.

“Ouch! That hurts!” Peter screamed when he felt the metal side of the scroll striking his head especially when he was completely unprepared. He took the scroll in his hand and a notification panel appeared in front of him.

[Would you like to learn Underwater Breathing Skill?]

[Yes] [No]

Seeing this skill, he couldn’t help but let out a smile.

“Now, that’s what I truly wanted. Well, I have four empty slots so it wouldn’t matter much.” Mumbling to himself, Peter clicked yes and a new panel appeared.

[Would you like to consume one of the Passive Skill Slots for Underwater Breathing Skill?]

[Yes] [No]

Without any hesitation, he clicked on the yes and the next moment, he was already the master of breathing underwater.

‘Hopefully, I won’t grow any gills.’ Peter takes a long breath and dives to the bottom. Although the water was pushing him out, he still managed to reach the bottom. He opened his eyes for a moment and looked around.

‘Damn! There is nothing here. How is this water golden? Wait, is this even water?’

‘Whatever! I need to absorb the Holy Dragon Luck.’

‘So, let’s start!’
