Who could have believed the existence of the towers. Just like in the gas. The red-haired woman looked at the stairs while smiling. They were cleaning floor after floor, and the harvest was great.
rlin heard of the existence of towers before. Unlike the soldiers following him, he knew that in many parts of the Portal World, there were many of these towers, and what they really served. But he wasnt allowed to share the information.
The reason why they raided the tower wasnt the monsters nor the richness, but the variety of natural treasures on the top floor. But it wasnt easy to reach the top floor. Firstly, all towers had rank restrictions. If an Extol-Rank human entered the tower, it would cause the tower to summon all monsters on one floor. Secondly, there was an entry limit. The number of creatures able to enter the tower at a ti was 50, including pets.
Starting with a low-rank monster on the lower floor, the difficulty would increase if one went higher. The first small boss, as humans nad them, would have rare elental abilities, and ultimates.
From the 11th floor, the monsters would be middle-tier. Elents would once again reset to commons, while rarity and strength would increase the higher it went. The 20th-floor boss would definitely have a dangerous elent and a strong ultimate.
The one rlin and his team encountered was a spider-like monster with indestructible webs. The tallic webs were still soft and elastic but were too hard to get rid of.
From then on, the difficulty increased until the pinnacle-tier, the small boss on the 40th floor was also quite handy. It was an ox-like monster with two giant horns. rlin and fifty soldiers cooperated to kill the beast, although many of them got injured during the battle.
The beast's ultimate was phantom horns. A couple of phantom horns would surround its and could be detached from the body to attack autonomously. Thankfully they didnt lose anyone in that battle, but it reminded them how hard the battle at the top of the tower would be.
rlin looked at the last staircase with dread. The difficulty of the monsters was increasing, and even he would have a hard ti against the monster on the 40th floor if he was alone. He didnt think they could kill the monster on the top floor with the sa ease. Unlike other small bosses, they were the real deal after all.
Im, Lalla, Chinu, Parwa, and Mich will co with . Rest of you secure the floor. rlin said and rose to his feet. Although 49 soldiers following him were his best and most loyal followers in the stronghold, they were still falling short against the monster as dreadful as they would fight soon. Having a smaller team would be better.
Sir, with all due respect, we cannot accept this! A soldier walked up to rlin and saluted defiantly. They couldnt let rlin take the risk because they were waiting.
This is an order, rlin shouted.
Sir, no, sir! All the soldiers shouted at the sa ti. The girl with the redhead walked up to rlin with a smile, and said, We all know the risk, still follow you. This is our will. You have no right to ignore it.
You will be a dead-weight. So follow my orders. rlin said with anger and battle intent, but soldiers stood straight and strong. Seeing their unyielding wills, rlin sighed and looked at the stairs. Dont dare to die on .
Sir, yes, sir! Shouted 49 soldiers, quaking the tower.
Take the Strong Man formation. Shield bearers will tank the damage while rangers will stay at the back. Parwa will stay at the backmost to protect the rangers. Close-range fighters will stay behind shield bearers to deliver their attacks when the monster is in the open. Use ultimates as soon as battle starts, and dont hold back.
Yes, sir!
Lets go then. rlin walked toward the stairs
Outside of the tower, more than a hundred n were walking toward the black structure. They were donned with armor and were holding a variety of weapons. The one at the forefront had an ugly look on his face, while his eyes were emitting killing intent. The one beside him had his eyes closed and was sweating profusely.
They are battling with the boss. The battle is about to end. He said. He was the one who directed rlin to the tower and gave him his power.
rlin is really strong. But today he will die for his sins. The one at the forefront said while caressing his sword.
Are you sure about this sir? You know who he is. Cruel Heart will never forgive us for this. Man with his eyes closed opened them and looked at the leader.
Focus on the battle. The leader rebuked the man and looked at the tower. He shouldnt have exposed us.
Battle ended. Two died, while almost all of them were injured. Humanoid monsters are indeed too strong. The man said while opening his eyes. But he didnt have to report, as the tower was shaking madly. It looked like it was about to collapse. Not long after, rlin and soldiers with grueso injuries on their bodies walked out of the tower and collapsed on the ground.
rlin looked at the 100-odd people in front of him with no surprise on his face. Yo, took you long enough. He said with a mad look in his eyes. The battle was harder than he imagined, and because he couldnt use his ultimate, two of his soldiers died. He was fuming with anger.
Hmph. That unfazed look in the face of death. Just like your grandfathers! The leader said with an ugly smile and pointed his sword at rlin. I will make you regret crossing us.
Heh, you talk big, but are you sure you are capable enough to end ? rlin said with a smile.
Stop spouting bullshit. Give the orb and the tower core! The leader reached out his hand toward rlin but the latter ignored him.
You all are too naive, rlin said with a shake of his head.
