Chapter 729 - Kyles Requests (1/2)
Firia finished her Lightning Tribulation, and they went toward the group, helping them again. As expected, Firia's strength increased exponentially because she just leaped from Martial Monarch to Martial Saint.
Alex, on the other hand, was still the same as ever, struggling in the 9-Star Martial Monarch.
Three months later,
Nelson appeared before him as they were waiting for the next floor to come up.
”Young Master. I have grave news for you.” Nelson hesitated for a second. ”There is a change of schedule; it seems.”
”Hmm?” Alex furrowed his eyebrows. ”What do you mean?”
”I have once said that we might only reach the twentieth floor after six months, right?”
”Indeed. I do remember that information.” Alex nodded with a solemn expression.
”However, we will soon deal with the nineteenth floor.”
”Yeah. I am worried about this as well because I am afraid that the pillar has changed because of us. Just like the first time we came here, I don't want to fight something unknown like this.”
”That's the problem. Because of the sudden change of this event, those kingdoms have moved up their schedule. Their reinforcement will come in a few weeks to a month. By that time, we might reach the twenty-fifth floor… And the moment the inheritance place opens up, we might reach the thirtieth floor.”
Alex furrowed his eyebrows. ”By the looks of it, it isn't necessarily bad for us. The problem is what those people will do because of this sudden change and what kind of huge phenomenon the pillar will show us for the last six months.”
”That's what I am worrying about right now.”
”Just inform me when the royals come and what they do later. I will respond in any kind.” Alex nodded, thinking about his next move. ”I will be able to reach the 10-Star Martial Monarch with the help of the twenty-fifth floor. If you are still unsure, you can sneak inside their reinforcement right now… But I doubt there will be much information you can get from them.”
”True enough. They won't necessarily discuss anything important at a time like that.” Nelson looked down and fell into deep thought. ”I will be staying for now and go according to the Young Master's plan. I hope that Young Master can reach 1-Star Martial Saint in this place… Or even further.”
”Haha, I hope that as well. But you know that I need to consolidate my power first, right? I don't have enough time.” Alex sighed.
”Then.” Nelson bowed to him and disappeared.
Alex sighed and opened his system.
[Gacha Ticket x3421]
[Premium Ticket x0]
[Dart x0]
[Gacha Card x1]
[Gacha Coin x0]
[Gacha Hammer x0]
[Summoning Ticket x0]
[Summoning Coin x0]
”Hmm… I have many Gacha Tickets right now. As expected, I can acc.u.mulate this much after killing more than two hundred thousand monsters, even though the rate has become lower and lower as I increase my strength.” Alex wondered whether he should use it or wait until he returned from this place.
[This is not the first time you get this much. In fact, you have gotten this many Gacha Tickets on a single occasion. But you always used it twice, so it never reached a number this high. Though, you can open it right now and save some EXP Cards. Isn't it good to know how many EXP Cards you will have as an assurance later?]
What the system said was reasonable. If he knew he had some assurance, it might lift some burden in his mind later. ”Sure. Use everything like usual.”
[Processing.]
[Summoning Coin (R) x1]
[Super Cleaving Axe (UC) x1]
…
…
After opening his Gacha Tickets, the system immediately opened every single Summoning Coins he got from the earlier draw and to his surprise, he managed to get 93 Rare EXP Cards.
Alex wanted to be happy, but he also couldn't say he was thrilled by this number. This was probably the most EXP Cards he ever had. Unfortunately, he still remembered that the Spirits needed six to seven EXP Cards to raise one level. It couldn't even increase his spirits by two levels.
”Still… I shouldn't complain about this. It's still better than nothing. Anyway, the main way to raise their level in this place is by killing monsters.” Alex shook his head and remembered another thing. ”I almost forgot this one. How about the reward for completing this pillar? Don't you have it for me?”
[Mission: Beat the pillar
Reward: Gacha Hammer x5
Description: Show them who's the boss.]
He became speechless the moment he read the description. ”What do you mean to show them who is the boss? Who actually do you want me to show it?”
[Plide Kingdom.]
”Wait. What?” Alex tilted his head in confusion. ”I only have a problem with the Tiger Mercenary while I don't really care about the Kingdom itself. Besides, there is a possibility of me destroying them first before we enter the pillar.”
[There is still that Guild Master. Once it's broken, it will never go back perfectly. Besides, the Earl was also annoying, so just slap them with your power.]
”Oi.” Alex twitched his eyebrows. ”Even if I beat the pillar, only Firia will make her appearance since I am not supposed to be here. If I show myself here and the other people realize, they might want to know the secret and other things, and the situation will become unpredictable.”
