Chapter 139: Two Legendary Cards
"Why did you kill him? Don't get wrong I would have done the sa, but you who saved soone only to kill him in the end, it feels weird." The old man asked Ed while they were heading out of the hideout. They could see so of the slaves that were saved running away in the distance. While so others went inside the hideout to look for any leftover treasures.
"Because he was red," Ed's answer left the old man stupefied. He had no idea about Ed's Map, so he couldn't understand what was said. Ed continued and cleared things for him.
"He tried to kill , his savior. Imagine what he would do to others." The old man was listening keenly to Ed's words. "Well to be honest if he went his way I wouldn't have done anything to him, but since he chose to hurt I wasn't going to let it slip. I'm not a hero so don't say I could have helped him beco a better man or anything like that. I have my principles and I live by them. Whether my actions, which are defined by my principles, qualify as justice or as evil, it isn't up to to decide. I hope this answer satisfied your curiosity."
After he finished speaking, Ed caught the old man's hand and teleported him to the village. The old man's feet turned into jelly because of the unexpected teleportation.
"You should have a card right? Bring it out." Ed told him while extending his hand. The old man didn't have any reason to refuse. His points were taken away by the bandits, and only his na remained. The only reason why the bandits let him keep it was because of the tracking function it had. Ed actually didn't know about this function.
'Edmund.' Ed read the na written on the card while transferring so points. He gave the man a total of 50.000 points, more than enough to keep him entertained if he knew how to use it well.
The villagers were throwing a party due to having escaped the tyranny of the bandits. So bandits who survived were going to be executed in public. So villagers were mourning the loss of the ones who died in the battle. These ones were extrely aggressive towards the surviving bandits. "We weren't going to attack you, I swear!" one of the bandits who knew his ti was close to running out tried to weasel out of his situation. Unfortunately, his pleas fell on deaf ears.
Ed didn't care about what was happening. He went to his inn room by teleportation. After taking his disguise off, he summoned his companions and started cooking for them. Everyone fought hard during the battle. Especially those tasked with the protection of people. "By the way, what power did the leader have?" Ed asked Sieg and Raikou who fought him.
"He had a smoke that could eat away at the life force of living beings," Sieg answered as he was the one hit by the black smoke.
As Ed was making small talk he didn't really care. He continued cooking for a while and then went to sleep. In the next morning, he went out to hunt so more monsters.
Ed last saw Johan three days ago, which ant he moved to the next floor already. Ed spent four days hunting outside to spend his ti. Unfortunately for him, he didn't get the Gacha tickets he wanted, only one dropped from over 100 monsters. Ed was baffled at the sudden drop in drop rates of the tickets. Granted, Ed didn't get to fight many high leveled monsters, but he expected to at least get another ten tickets.
Ed headed towards the teleportation circle of the next floor. Luckily for him, people didn't attempt to escape to the next floor. Otherwise, he would have needed to spend an extra couple of days on this floor. He strolled one last ti in the village, hoping to see sothing that would interest him as he still had so points left. Sadly, the only thing that caught his attention was the old man he saved, starring at him while he was walking.
'He couldn't have recognized right? I even changed my voice!' Ed was surprised but didn't show it in his movent or face. He remained the sa and headed to the teleportation circle. Since most people were injured during the battle, no one attempted to leave this floor. Ed felt lucky as he walked into the teleportation room. These rooms existed only to house the teleportation circles. A group of people was inside speaking to each other. The group of people was there to monitor those that wanted to leave the floor.
"That little girl was so fast! I wonder where she's from."
"You should have seen the black-skinned one that saved !"
"A pale skinned person saved as well. He was so handso and cool, and-" "We know! You already told us."
"Well you guys repeated your encounters many tis, why shouldn't I?!"
The four people kept bickering about being saved. Ed realized that they were talking about his companions and quickened his steps. Ed didn't speak a word to them and instantly teleported to the boss area.
The boss was standing in the middle of a thicket. The body of a lion, the head, wings, and front legs of an eagle. The boss this ti is a Gryphon. Ed quickly asked the system about its rarity since its aura was veryunderwhelming. It was an Epic rank, Heavenly Establishnt level 6 monster. Truly underwhelming. The battle went in a different way compared to Ed's battles ever since he started killing Legendary floor bosses. The difference in difficulty was clear. Especially since Ed managed to level to Heavenly Establishnt level 3, making all his monster level 6.
"What is this feeling" Ed clutched his chest as he felt different. Emptiness filled his heart. 'I know what is missing. The feeling of accomplishnt." Ed thought to himself as he was teleported by the light.
In front of him was a mountain. He was now on the eleventh floor of the Tower of Strength. A desolate area surrounded the mountain, and the sky was covered by dark clouds. Not even the light could penetrate through these clouds. Such darkness would not trouble Heavenly Establishnt cultivators. Their heightened senses could adapt in a short ti. Ed could see that the top of the mountain was above the clouds. He thought about flying directly there but decided against it. He would be getting stronger if he killed monsters.
Ed noticed an entrance in the foot of the mountain. It was clearly the start of the eleventh floor, not this desolate area. He activated his dinsion and entered it. Reviewing the notification, he noticed that he got one Gacha ticket and 300.000 Exp from the Gryphon. 'That's less than hen' Ed thought.
He opened the Gacha interface, which now had one ss component.
"Use twenty tickets to exchange for two Legendary cards," Ed told the system, who did so. Two golden tickets appeared in Ed's hands as he inserted them into the Monster Gacha and the Skill Gacha.
