(From Perspective)
We talked for a few more minutes before ending the call. It looks like the situation is really serious. As long as I get to Barron City safely. Then I can easily survive those assassin attempts. And also I learnt from the call that other than this city everyone is broadcasting about the Star Tower.
I think it's due to some emergency protocol. I don't have any choice to wait for Elder Thornton. I told my Uncle to inform him. In case my call wasn't able to connect Elder Thornton in time. I let out a deep sigh, hoping the Star Tower people will sort out the situation sooner.
Then my mood turns better thinking about rewards. I took the reward from the storage ring and seeped my consciousness into it.
"Wow"
Meridian Washing Pill – Medium Grade – 1 bottle.
Small Realm Promotion Pill – Medium Grade- 1 bottle.
Essence Recovery Pill – Medium Grade - 1 bottle.
Blood essence Pill – Medium Grade – 1 bottle.
Healing Pill – Medium Grade – 1 bottle.
Credit Points – 100,000 Will be wired after the competition.
My eyes opened wide by calculating the reward. All of the pills were in medium grade. There are three types of pill I have never tried so far. Meridian washing Pill, Small Promotion pill and Essence Recovery Pill.
But looking at their name I can guess what they were used for. My eyes constantly fell on a small promotion pill. If I can reach my limit in the initial stage of Special Trainee. I can use this pill to increase my success rate in getting breakthroughs. Especially the Medium Grade Pill, So there is no chance of failure.
Thinking about breakthroughs, I could not help but think about Uncle and Mr. Arthur. Both of them remain in Peak Stage quite so far. If I give them some pills, it can increase their chances of getting breakthroughs to reach Elite level. Obviously, I'm not going to hand them the entire pill. Just in case their strength increases because of this pill. Then my safety can be guaranteed little.
Then my gaze falls on the essence recovery pill, with the name itself we can understand it is used to recover our essence. It will come quite handy during battles. So, there is no need to do research about it. Then I started with a Meridian washing pill in my hands. I can understand a little bit about it. I think this pill is used to nourish the meridian. Lastly, the blood essence pill and healing pill, I'm quite used to it by taking them.
And there are 100,000 Credit points. Star Tower is really generous in their reward system. Though I felt a little disappointed in not getting anything related to my lightning element. I doubt whether Star Tower management includes elemental related resources in their reward system or not. But my gut feeling tells me that the reward system includes pills and credit points. Even one bottle of Medium Grade pill will be sold at a high price if placed in auction.
So, I'm totally happy with the rewards. More importantly they play a life saving role during a crisis situation. Looking at chaos unfolding outside of the city, I don't know whether they intentionally placed these pills in their award system. I smiled wryly imagining that. It would be best if I don't get to use this in the worst situation. Then placing all those pills back in the shortage ring. I remembered the unknown monster that I faced on the 19th floor.
After recalling every bit of its appearance and it's behavior. I logged into alliance site to check it. Just as I'm working on it. I received a call from Mr. Arthur, seeing that I attended the call without thinking..
A small holographic image of Mr. Arthur appears above my watch. Seeing Zack's face, Mr. Arthur said, "Zack, You created a miracle. It's hard to believe you have cleared 18 floors successfully. No one in our Red Stone City has done this before. I can't remember even someone from the surrounding city has done this before. On top of it, You have achieved the number 1 position in the leaderboard ranking. The media here is going frenzy." Mr. Arthur said everything without taking a break.
Hearing that I smiled, I don't know whether Elder Thornton and Uncle James told him anything. If he knew about Exact situation he wouldn't be this enthusiastic. Thinking that I smiled wryly in my heart. But I don't want to spoil his mood. He had just recovered from the last turmoil in the campus. It's best if he doesn't know.
Then we talked about a few other things before we ended the call. After ending the call, I thought, from the beginning, he didn't ask me about the competition. Looks like he knew the competition was going to be held for a month. Which is also good, it saves me from explanation.
Then I continued searching in the alliance network. I didn't ask Mr. Arthur since the content is not allowed to disclose till the end of the competition. Otherwise, I would have asked him in detail. But I believe, even in our campus, there is no description of this unknown monster. Looks like I need to go back and study more thoroughly. With my brain's power it's quite easy for me to remember all the details.
…
Inside the Star Tower,
Darius case appears at the 10th floor,
His fiery temper explodes after seeing Five, Initial Class 1 Monsters.
"Mutated Mountain Tiger –Initial- Class 1 Monster.
These monsters were not Elemental Monsters but Bloodline Monsters. Seeing Darius' presence they began to surround him one by one.
On the other hand, Darius immediately released his Special Trainee aura to disrupt their momentum. Though they are at the initial level. He thought it's quite a hassle to deal with five of them.
Like he expected, his aura frightens the monster. One by one let out a furious roar. They are sensing level suppression. The monsters were hesitating to attack.
Using that opportunity Darius fired huge flame balls at the monster. Seeing the fire balls, these monsters finally let down their attack and begin to run away. But Seeing the situation, Darius didn't get fazed. There is no time limit to clear this floor. As long as you can kill this monster. You can ascend to the next floor.
Some time later, he roasted all the monsters on this floor successfully. And he appears on the 11th floor.
11th Floor,
As Darius appears on the 11th floor. He finds Class 1- Black Tailed Snake Monster. Which is at Mid level in strength.
Seeing that his eyes flashes in surprise. He clearly remembered about Zack's number 1 standing in the leader ranking. At first, he thought it was fluke. But right now by experiencing for yourself. His expression turned solemn. He clearly knew the number is going to increase like last few floors. He couldn't help but to say recalling about Zack, "That guy is indeed strong. I don't know how many floors he has reached. " He said to himself.
Then his eyes set on the Snake monster. Which is coming towards him while hissing. He decided to end it quickly to reach other floors. After raining down the Snake monster with constant fire balls. The Snake monster loses its life and dissipates into thin air. After recovering his peak state, he reaches the next floor.
…
Alternatively,
Ella Downs appears on the 8th floor. She faces three initial level Class 1 monsters.
"Mountain Ape- Initial level – Class 1 Monster."
Seeing three low level monsters appear before her, Her eyes flashes in disdain.
She didn't even bother to use blood line power. So far with level suppression alone, She had successfully cleared the past few floors. Now this time also she released her aura to suppress the monsters.
Seeing her power level, the ape monster frightened in fear. Then she moved, in a blink of an eye she appeared before them. One by one she smashes her small fist against those monsters.
"Bang" "Bang" "Bang"
Those monsters weren't even able to defend against her fist. In the end they dissipate into thin air. A bright light falls over her. She appears on the next floor.
9th Floor,
When she appears at the 9th floor, She finds four Class monsters. "Initial – Class 1 – Wild Bull Monster"
This time too, she felt at ease. Instead of flexing her muscles even more. She brutally attacks those monsters one by one. While doing that she didn't even constraint her aura. After smashing these four monsters into thin air. She finally stopped, "I think only Peak monsters can pose me any threat " She said to herself. Then she remembers about Zack. Recalling his records she doubts whether he is a bloodline warrior or not. Shaking her head, She waited for the bright light to fall over her. Though she didn't even consume her strength. yet the bright light falls on her.. Then she reaches the next floor comfortably.
