Chapter 104: Great Items
’Damn, even lady luck doesn’t seem to be on my side right now’ thinking how hard it would be for him to raise his stats to that amount, the young man couldn’t help but shake his head wryly as the only method he can think of being the Epic-class monsters of even higher classes, this having both a good and a bad side.
The good side being the fact that he has a passive skill that he can use to detect those monsters whenever he enters another floor, this very skill the same one allowing him to hunt all five Epic-class monsters that resides within the span of the entire second floor of the Ethereal Tower.
The bad side is that despite the fact that he has this skill, it takes a whole lot of effort to hunt down such monsters, as not only are they far stronger than any other monster that exists in the floor they are in, except for the boss monster and the treasure guardian, a monster known only to the young man that is Azrael, they are also intelligent enough to escape once they come to realize that they are not able to win in a fight.
Not only that, but even if he can hunt all those monsters down, they barely provide the amount of boost he needs in order to meet the expectation of the quest that was just issued to him, and there’s not a lot of those monsters around, possibly only having two or more in the third floor but not too much more when compared to the second floor’s five Epic-class monster.
’I need to climb a lot of floors in order to complete this quest...’ he repeated to himself as the reality of this begins to sink in, the wry smile on his face indicating how much of a roller coaster this series of notifications are, bringing him absolutely up before crashing down as he starts realizing the time it will take for him to complete a single quest.
"Whatever, it took me ten years to complete that particular hidden quest, who am I to complain right now? I only need to reach higher floors, if I did it once, I can do it all over again..." Azrael motivate himself as he clenches the fist holding the night black sword, said sword vibrating as if to express its support and agreement to its user as it lets out a shrill, energetic sound, prompting its owner to smile brighter than the one he had previously.
Now that he feels like this quest is way easier and will take shorter amount of time compared to the time he used to ascend to the second floor of the Ethereal Tower, the young man then regains his vigor once again, feeling quite motivated to fight against the treasure guardian of the second floor even more due to such quest, completely forgetting to look forward to what sort of greatest treasure the second floor has to offer.
’Now this...’ after gathering himself once again to check the items the he received, he couldn’t help but still feel surprised no matter how many times he reads through the information of one of the items that he received, still in disbelief that an item like this can exist.
