Chapter 1236: Ascension to the Fifth Circle (1)

Dark Ancient Tower, Fifth Layer
In the depths of the Dark Ancient Tower, at its mysterious fifth layer, lay the expansive Million Mountains.
After sending the Mind Flayers back to the Minotaur Tribe, the Holy Infant returned to his secluded training ground. He took out the storage ring he had acquired from Witch Mary and broke the restriction on it, revealing its contents.
A cascade of Aether Stones spilled out, forming a mountain of sparkling gems. The Holy Infant counted them and discovered there were a million Aether Stones in total. It made sense that Witch Mary, being both an array wizard and an alchemy wizard, would carry such a large quantity of Aether Stones to facilitate her spell formations.
“Sixteen million Aether Stones,” he murmured to himself. “Once I return to the Wizard World, I must quickly convert these into resources and combat power. I have no interest in money…”
Apart from the Aether Stones, there were numerous alchemical creatures, though most were of low quality. It seemed that Witch Mary favored quantity over quality in her alchemical pursuits. Levi, however, preferred to focus on fewer, but higher-quality creations. Keeping too many was useless; they were merely cannon fodder.
Among these alchemical creatures, only one was of the fifth level—the Alchemy Eagle. This giant eagle, known as the “Hast Eagle,” was about the height of a person and resembled a mundane golden eagle. However, it possessed the ability to solidify and manipulate its size through a size-altering spell, allowing it to appear much larger.
Refined primarily from fifth-level wind elemental metal and supplemented with other rare materials, the eagle could release the wind elemental power within the metal as Wind Blades or hurricanes, making it a formidable weapon.
