EX-Grade Ability Card: Tower Ascension with My Absolute Restoration-Chapter 37: We Should All Get Ready

"Hahaha, why the hell are you all even trying to escape?" looking at the next target gradually getting farther and farther away from the location he starts his slaughter, the young man asked as he laughs his heart out feeling quite satisfied as he knows that each of the monsters he killed will make him even stronger, prompting him to hunt as much of them as he could, the only thing limiting him being the fact that other monsters might target the dead ones he killed previously.

Dashing from his current position all the way towards the new target in one smooth motion, the young man once again appears in front of the new monster, swinging the jet-black sword in his hand without a trace of mercy on his face, severing the connection between this titanic snake’s monster’s head and body, making it fall down to the ground.

"That was great..." finding that there’s no more monster that he can chase, this young man then smiles as he wept the sweat on his forehead with satisfaction apparent on his face, the sword in his hand already finding its way stabbing on the snake monster’s flesh, the body of said monster already starting to shrivel in a speed visible to the naked eyes, the sword absorbing all its life force not even taking a minutes to turn this full carcass into nothing but husk and bones.

After finishing the process, the young man couldn’t help but smile as another screen from the guide appeared once again, notifying him of his improvement from absorbing this monster’s life force alone.

After looking at the improvements of his stats, the young man’s figure then starts disappearing and reappearing in certain spots in this lush forest once again, the spots he is appearing on being the location of the monsters he previously killed, skillfully burying the Evil Fang Sword within these monsters’ carcasses in a practiced motion, as if he is already so used to doing this sort of thing.

’Eight monsters of this level huh... that’s quite the harvest...’ after finally arriving at the location of the first monster he killed, the young man then starts harvesting what can be carried with him back to the city, mostly this boar-like monster’s tusks, cutting them through the Evil Fang Sword alone leaving not a single mark on the location it was severed from, looking at this part that appears to be even more precious than elephant ivory, nodding in satisfaction before he puts it in the large leather back he is carrying in his back.

"That guy... is the leader really sure that he can be dealt with by anyone on the second floor? We have been observing him for a week already, and he’s just way stronger than any second-floor ascender we know, and that’s a lot coming from us..."

"That’s exactly why the leader sent us fifth-floor ascenders to deal with him, even if he’s stronger than second-floor ascenders with a considerable margin, he will still suffer from the disparity of skill and ability mastery between us."

"Third brother is right, and besides, we also have the advantage in numbers, I doubt a single person would be capable enough to deal with dozens of us who are trained to fight together in cooperation."

From the distance, a group lurking in the shadows of the towering trees surrounding this forest whispered among themselves as they observed the young man enjoying his harvest on the ground, the shock apparent in their voices as they watched the young man slaughter eight high level monsters consecutively, just barely breaking a sweat from such a hunt that would place any other ascender of the second floor on one of these beasts’ dining plate if they were lucky, or just tear them apart into an unrecognizable mess if they are not.

"First brother has a good point, besides, he only seems to be used to fighting against beasts rather than fellow humans, and given the time period he is in the tower as well as his current achievements based on the information given by our legia..."

"Yeah, he’s definitely going down if we start the attack now..."

One of the observing figures said with certainty in their voice, their eyes glowing as their gaze landed on the young man collecting his bounty from the monsters he had slain, the greed apparent not only on this figure’s eyes but also on the eyes of the other figures accompanying them, their desire to acquire the young man’s harvest something that cannot be denied.

"Hahaha, Azrael Weiss, was it? Get ready to feel the despair of never ascending further in your entire life~" one of the figures said as they twirled the dagger in their hand, skillfully playing around it for a few moments before they held it tight, licking the sharp edge of the dagger as they look at the location of their target, only to find said target already leaving their spot.

Thinking that the young man merely moves to the next monster he had taken down, the group starts moving towards the nearest monster, only for their movements to freeze as a voice sounds right in their midst.

"Indeed, we should all get ready~"
