EX-Grade Ability Card: Tower Ascension with My Absolute Restoration-Chapter 56: Strength Beyond the Second Floor’s Limits

"Arrogant... human... you will pay for... this insolence!!!" having its words interrupted right in the middle of speaking, not to mention the one cutting it being a human that it thinks is beneath it, the Abyssal Rot Eternal Flower couldn’t help but feel angrier than it has ever been, intending to spare the life of this little creature so that it can torment it in its Abyssal Rot for all eternity as it absorbs its enemy’s seemingly endless life force.

Hence why it acts the next second, its grotesque face changing once again as the smaller face recedes all the way back, leaving a void on where the mouth should be, this only being the start a black fog starts coming out of the now empty mouth of the bigger face, travelling more like raging steam as it goes straight towards Azrael’s location at an astonishing speed.

While looking at this threatening new attack coming closer to him though, the young man merely stands there as multiple active skills start being triggered, the effects it brought making a newfound power surge all across his entire body, making him feel like a transcendent being in the second floor of the tower.

Seeing all the stacking effects of the current skills, paired with the stat boost that the Evil Fang Sword provides, Azrael couldn’t help but smile as he stood tall reaching almost twenty meter in height, still paling in comparison to the towering Abyssal Rot Eternal Flower but now having a size more than enough for him to neglect the immediate effect of the Abyssal Rot fog.

"I can only keep this up for two minutes at most, so let’s end this fight" standing straight in front of the Abyssal Rot Eternal Flower, no longer minding the effects of the Abyssal Rot fog in his currently almost twenty-meter-tall body, the decay that was previously more than enough to wreak havoc on his body now barely making him feel pain, allowing him to focus more on dealing with this monster.

Now that he is this size though, he noticed a major problem, and that is the fact that he can no longer wield the Evil Fang Sword as it doesn’t have any way for it to alter its size to match his current one.

Thinking of something else though as he recalls the use of the Murderous Aura skill, he brought his favored weapon once again as he starts materializing his killing intent into a shape, turning the Evil Fang Sword into its core, making the intent take form in just a few moments following the core’s shape, transforming into a bright crimson copy of the Evil Fang Sword fitting the size of the giant that Azrael turns himself into.

As the glowing crimson completely covers the Evil Fang Sword’s brilliant black, it reacts to this as the weapon starts vibrating once again, expressing its joy as it felt its master’s strength, the bright crimson made from Azrael’s killing intent turning into complete black as the treasured weapon melds its bloodlust with it.

"Just great!! HAHAHA!!" looking at the sword in his hand, almost as if there’s nothing that changed, only he feels even closer to his treasured weapon now, Azrael expressed in a pleasant surprise before he dashed closer to the body of the Eternal Flower, the previously arrogant and confident flora now hesitating whether it would win this death match, the sprouting fear in its mind making it so that its movement is duller than it was previously.

Having decade-long knowledge in the battlefield, this state doesn’t slip past Azrael’s senses as he smiles seeing this, not allowing this chance to slip past as he starts increasing the intensity of his attacks even further, cleaving larger and larger pieces from the flower’s body with each swing of the sword.

"Come on now!! I thought I would pay for something? Was it insolence? What the fuck was that? Can it be sold for money?" Azrael said with the manic smile still plastered on his face, the Eternal Flower can only show absolute horror on its face as it looks at its enemy who is gradually severing its connection with its body.
