Kapitel 20: The Tower of Champions

Before Noah jumped into the swirling gray portal that led into the first floor of the Tower of Champion, he thoroughly looked at his two summoned Rift Bosses as he pulled up the number of Iron Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals.

[Iron Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals] :: Crystals that can be used to upgrade the strength of the Summons. When two Iron Rank Summons achieve Peak Iron Rank, Evolution through fusion into the next tier is possible. Currently available Crystals: 5252

He wanted to utilize the crystals as he found out exactly how much he needed before he could make the Rift Bosses rise to Peak of Iron Rank and have it be possible to cause an Evolution into a Bronze Rank Rift Boss.

If he could truly make that into a reality...the sheer thought caused him to tremble!

One must know that Bronze Rank Rifts were 10 times harder than Iron Rank ones, with a team of at least 10 Bronze Rank Blessed required to fully beat all the mobs up to the Rift Boss.

Even the Peak Iron Rank Blessed that wanted to graduate into the Bronze Rank, they had to either be carried by a Bronze Team or form a Team of 20+ Iron Blessed to stand a chance of clearing the Rift.

Yet Noah...would be able to fuse his units and call forth a Bronze Rank Dimensional Rift Boss the moment he raised their power to the Peak…

He wasted no time as he gave the command to use the Unit Upgrade Crystals on the fearsome Mammoth first!

[Frost Mammoth] :: An Iron Rank Unit that has ferocious skills of the ice attribute. 0/500 Unit Upgrade Crystals required to advance from Low to Middle Rank.

500 Crystals were required, and so he paid them!

RUMBLE!

Energy wildly erupted out as Noah paid the required number of Unit Upgrade Crystals- the body of the Mammoth shone brightly while letting out another roar as it grew noticeably bigger while its tusks became even sharper.

The count of Crystals on it then changed to 0/1000 to advance!

Noah paid this as well as the Mammoth expressed even more dangerous might, the count of crystals changing to 0/2000 to Max Out the Unit!

This was also paid for as only after 3500 Unit Upgrade Crystals did the body of the Mammoth explode with a shining light as it became twice as big as before, its trunk bellowing out grandly as it announced the arrival of a king.

OOOOH!

Noah had to plug his ears as they nearly ruptured, looking towards the fearsome creature that now towered over 6 meters!

It looked absolutely monstrous as Noah gulped with envy while looking at the ferocious aura it released.

This was nearly double if not more of the power he felt when he faced the Iron Rank Rift Bosses before!

Such a Beast was his to command…

He couldn't help but let out a smile as his eyes turned towards the Verdant Treant. He only had 1752 Unit Upgrade Crystals left, and he pumped all of them into the Treant as it shone with a beautiful green color while becoming even larger.

He just needed a bit less than 2000 Unit Upgrade Crystals to max this Unit as well, and he could then fuse the both of them to cause an evolution and bring forth a Bronze Unit!

His eyes turned towards the first portal of the tower as he gave a command, the Bronze Rank equipment he bought falling on his body as the Magma Sword was grasped tightly on his hand, the shining red light it released brightening up the waiting area as the Gladiator's Plate armor made him look like a seasoned warrior.

"Let's go!"

He walked in large strides towards the glowing portal as his eyes were locked on its rewards, and the even more abundant ones present every 5 levels!

WAP!

The figures of one man clad in a Bronze Rank armor and sword entering a portal while being followed by 2 Iron Rank Dimensional Beasts could be seen in the waiting area of the Tower of Champions.

Noah felt weightlessness as his vision went dark, only restoring itself a second later as he saw he was teleported into a dreary environment!

[The first level in the Tower of Champions had 50 Iron Rank Undead that need to be cleared.]

The Blue text box appeared in front of him as he nodded, his eyes looking at his surroundings as he found himself standing in front of a small dark castle.

The castle had clouds of mist covering it as growls could be heard inside, Noah seeing for himself the figures of 3 armored skeletons standing in front of the door that led into the castle!

The first enemies he faced were surprisingly the rare undead, relentless creatures that fought with immense vigor and were the bane of many Blessed in high ranking dungeons.

"Mammoth...obliterate them!"

Noah's eyes shone as he looked at the 3 nearest undead, the Rift Boss he commanded roaring out as it began charging forward!

ROAAR!

The undead reacted the moment the charge began as they raised their rusted swords, but the glimmering tusks of the fearsome Mammoth smashed into them too quickly as bones went flying.

BOOM!

The door leading into the castle was also destroyed as from the corner of his eyes, Noah saw the counter that stated 3/50 pop up.

The power of the enhanced Iron Rank Rift Boss showed itself clearly as it smashed two Iron Skeletons into bones with a single strike while charging into the Undead Caste!

"Good! Treant, let's go!"

Man and tree then followed the destructive trail of the Mammoth as they delved deeper into the castle, smashing every enemy they came across as the normal undead could not even withstand the two Rift Bosses.

Noah himself wielded the two Bronze Rank Equipment to take down a few undead, the Bronze Magma Sword spurting out a splash of scorching molten Magma with every strike as it made his battles with the Undead extremely easy!

None of them could get through his defenses with Gladiator's Plate as they all fell to his summoned Rift Bosses and the swings of his powerful sword.

The 50 Iron Rank Undead in the first level didn't take too long to defeat as Noah swept the small undead castle, finally causing the skeleton head of the last undead to fall on the floor as the counter reached 50/50!

RUMBLE

Energy erupted out to cover him and his pets the moment the counter hit 50, their sights changing ad they found themselves return to the waiting room once more.

The portal that made the first level shook as it surprisingly burst in front of them, the one leading to the second floor descending down like an elevator as it took over the space!

[First Floor cleared. Rewards are in the Inventory.]

The text box showed itself in front of Noah as his glowing eyes searched his interface, finding the promised rewards inside of it!

[+500 Iron Rank Equipment Upgrade Crystals], [+500 Iron Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals], [+25 Random 1 Rank Unit Shards], [+500 Iron Rank Cores], [+1 Random Iron Equipment].

He received another 500 Unit Upgrade Crystals as he pumped them into the Verdant Treant right away, leaving only 1500 Crystals left for this unit to reach Peak Iron where he could then fuse it to the Mammoth.

There were also 25 Random Iron Rank Unit Shards that he would get at every level, where he could combine 100 to summon another Iron Unit. Lastly, the loot drops he hadn't had access to before, the Equipment Upgrade Crystals were dropped in this Tower of Champions as he would be able to upgrade Equipment!

There were too many wondrous things about this Tower, but he considered the Unit Upgrade Crystals and Iron Rank Unit Shards as the most important- so he gave a command to the Frost Mammoth and Verdant Treant to rush into the 2nd level of the Tower of Champions as he wanted to obtain these and strengthen himself greatly as soon as possible...
