Towers Of Heaven - 71 Book 3 Chapter 66
It was rare for Shenlong’s group to hang out ever since they split into pairs. Either Jason was on an expedition, or someone hunted overnight. There was always something. Luckily, the day Jason returned from his last trip, it just so happened everyone was in the haven. Hence, under Roy and Jason’s encouragement, the group decided to head to the 30th floor to relax and catch up.
That night, they reserved the top floor of Four Clovers, a high-end restaurant. The establishment frequently served nobles, and usually, only Dukes and above were allowed to eat on the top floor. The Alliance had a close partnership with a few kingdoms, so they held a similar status.
When Jason’s group entered the restaurant, a middle-aged man dressed as a butler approached them. “Do you have a reservation, sir?”
“The Alliance,” Jason flashed a small ornament, his guild symbol.
“Ah, we’ve been expecting you,” The butler bowed, just enough to show respect but not enough to degrade himself. Gesturing with his hand, the butler said, “Please follow me.”
As the butler led Jason’s party up the stairs, he asked, “Have you been to the top floor before?”
“I have; they haven’t,” Jason pointed at Shenlong and the others. Inwardly, he groaned at what was about to happen.
The butler nodded and flashed Amara, Carly, and Olivia a gentlemanly smile, “The founder of Four Clovers was both a renowned magician and chef. Back then, the competition was fierce, and Four Clovers couldn’t attract enough customers to pay the bills. To resolve this, the founder used his skills to create a magical world.”
After a minute of listening to the restaurant’s history, the group arrived on an empty floor. When the butler snapped his fingers, something miraculous occurred. The floor, ceiling, and walls disappeared, replaced by a vast starry expanse. Countless galaxies surrounded them, with comets shooting here and there.
“Wow,” Roy gasped as he took in his surroundings.
“How beautiful!” Carly’s eyes twinkled as they reflected a nearby spiral galaxy.
The butler led them to a small platform atop which sat a table. When they sat down, the butler inspected everyone’s expressions before muttering, “Very good; no one threw up today.”
With a clap of his hands, the butler summoned a handful of menus, which he passed around. “Four Clovers serves many things. Of our most renowned selections”
It only took a few minutes for the food they ordered to arrive. As they ate, the butler frequently returned to take care of their needs, and soon, an hour passed.
“Whew,” Roy collapsed into his chair and rubbed his belly. “Feels like I gained 10 pounds.”
“You can still eat more if you haven’t gotten the bloated debuff,” Jason chuckled as he glanced at Dubaku and Tank, who fell asleep after drinking too much alcohol.
“Wait, that’s a thing?” Amara gave Jason a doubtful look as Roy immediately resumed eating to test it out.
“Yep,” Jason nodded, “it makes you throw up for an hour.”
“Uh,” Roy froze, then promptly spat out the food he was about to swallow. “I’ll take your word for it.”
Carly laughed at Roy’s antics before turning to Jason with a curious expression. “So what did you name your mount?”
“I haven’t,” Jason shook his head. “It’s like a robot, so I figured there was no need to name it.”
“Oh, Felix isn’t like that,” Carly’s eyes sparkled as she recalled her majestic unicorn.
Roy whispered to Olivia, “Have you noticed Felix is kinda egotistical?”
Carly gave Roy a nasty glare as Olivia answered truthfully. “Yeah, it’s like he knows he’s handsome and owns it.”
At that, everyone looked at Jason, who blinked his eyes innocently. As if he didn’t realize what everyone was talking about, Jason asked Shenlong, “So why’d you pick an eastern dragon over a western one? It looks weird.”
“What did you say?” Shenlong nearly stood up and pulled out his divine grade spear then and there.
“A show of hands for the western dragon,” Roy announced and raised his hand, followed by everyone else. The color drained from Shenlong’s face as he collapsed into his chair, unwilling to accept this reality.
“Why did everyone create mounts based on mythical creatures?” Olivia clicked her tongue in annoyance. A few weeks ago, after Jason showed off his mount, everyone couldn’t help from doing the same. Unfortunately, the new trend revealed how lacking everyone’s creativity was. There were at least twenty dragons, thirty phoenixes, and fifteen unicorns.
Roy, who chose a dragon, quickly defended himself, “Because they’re freakin’ awesome, that’s why!”
“I didn’t know so many people would copy me,” Amara got angry just thinking about it. The day she saw Jason’s mount, she went out and farmed up enough essence to create an ice phoenix. To her disbelief, she saw at least two people with the same mount when she returned to the haven.
Jason suddenly remembered something and turned to Shenlong, “I heard from Peter you created a few skills?”
“Mm.” Shenlong sat up with pride. “Imagination and intent are needed, along with repetition.”
It took a lot longer to create a skill if you weren’t a god’s champion. Shenlong was the first to succeed, and after sharing some tips, it didn’t take long for the other m-serum users like Carly to follow in his footsteps.
Roy glanced at Shelong with an envious gaze, “How many skills have you maxed out?”
“For Godslayer?” Shenlong caressed his beard as he glanced at his information. “Oh, it seems I’ve maxed all my spear-based skills. About 20 or so.”
“20?!” Roy nearly jumped in fright. “Does that include your newly created skills?”
“Mhm.”
Everyone’s jaw dropped as Roy exclaimed, “Are you a monster?”
“You’re overthinking it,” Shenlong chuckled. “I’ve spent my entire life learning martial arts. All I did was convert the techniques I practiced into skills.”
Everyone fell silent. While the m-serum increased the rate skills leveled up, maxing out a skill in less than two weeks was absurd. Only a peerless genius could accomplish that. Since Godslayer reduced the cooldown of hero-grade skills by 70%, that meant Shenlong was the best person to use the weapon.
Jason coughed into his hand and changed the subject. “Have you guys formed an ultimate rune?”
“I have,” Amara puffed out her chest and raised her chin. “I can split into four clones, with each one possessing one of my elements.”
“You started training in wind, water, and earth?” Roy asked excitedly. “Can you fly?”
“Yep,” Amara grew haughty when she saw the envy in Roy’s eyes.
“I have an ultimate rune,” Carly spoke up. “I can connect everyone’s regeneration rates. Um, only up to ten people, though.”
“That’s great!” Jason was amazed. “The synergy between Unity Aura and your ultimate rune is off the charts.”
“That’s what I was thinking,” Carly smiled from ear to ear.
Roy, Olivia, Jason, and Shenlong shared their ultimate runes after Carly. Roy could buff his allies and reduce the energy cost of their skills. Olivia could leave a mark on a target, and anyone who attacks the mark will deal additional damage. Lastly, Shenlong could create phantoms based on his attack speed. These phantoms would replicate his actions with a slight delay.
After sharing their new skills, the group recounted their experiences or interesting monsters they came across. Eventually, the butler returned and informed them the restaurant was closing. With the bill paid, the party returned to their homes and fell asleep.
