_Note: You can combine neutral Insight Trial Tablets to increase their grade and quality of trial.
'Interesting,' Erix's eyes glinted. 'This reward is good.'
Suddenly, Zerol appeared and said, "This is the best series reward of 30s floors. You can use them individually, but I suggest that you save them and use them by combining at least two or three Insight Trial Tablets. Doing this will make you progress faster than using the tablets individually."
"Cool," Erix laughed and nodded. "Alright, I shall do that."
"You will get seven more Tablets, so a total of eight. You can combine and requantify them for higher effect as you see fit."
"Got it."
Erix moved to the 32nd Floor.
[32nd Floor]
[Challenge]: Defeat the Colony of Arbourer Spiders.
[Minimum Power Level Required]: 235,000.
[Chances]: 1
[Reward]: Insight Trial Tablet.
Erix also cleared the 32nd Floor without any hiccups. The clone just made his life easier because it wielded all of his powers, allowing him to use all of his skills and reserve of Prana, Spirit, and Soul….however, at 50% of the originals.
But even if the clone only had 50% of the stats as Erix, it was still powerful due to Erix's arsnal of powers!
…
Erix continued and reached the 35th Floor after half an hour, which had a different reward.
[35th Floor]
[Challenge]: Defeat the Wyvern King Zaulan.
[Minimum Power Level Required]: 250,000.
[Chances]: 1
[Reward]: Jackpot Slots Ticket x 1.
"What's this reward?" Erix asked, surprised.
Zerol arrived and chuckled, "This is a luck-based reward. You can use the ticket to summon a slot machine and earn a reward based on your luck."
"Interesting. I am not much of a fan of this, but what can I do?" Erix shrugged and challenged the floor.
Erix arrived in a huge forest with thousands of meters tall trees and even bigger mountains further away from the forest.
In the sky, Erix sensed a powerful presence closing in from the direction of the mountain range. He soon saw a hundred-meter-long red-scaled Wyvern with a giant wide wingspan even longer than its body.
The flame-shaped patterns on its body and scales shone before it roared and immediately rained thousands of condensed red-orange beads in the area where Erix was standing.
*Boom… Boom… Boom… Boom… *
The intense chain of explosions ranges, rattling the space itself and actually causing it to distort such that Erix couldn't teleport.
'Cool. A powerful and destructive enough power can indeed make the space distort and unstable,' Erix's eyes glinted as he was surrounded by a protective barrier of Nihilir that destroyed the flame power of the explosions.
But he only stayed for a second before flying up at his fastest, using Space matter to create a clean field around him at the cost of consumption of Prana since it endured the explosion of power.
In the next second, the Wvyern felt Erix's movement and streaked like a flame towards him like a meteor.
Erix reacted swiftly, conjuring Erasure Void Rods around him and executing Dimensional Chaos Punch by throwing his fist forward. He also used his clone to execute the same set of moves.
[Dimensional Chaos Punch]
_Attributes: Metal, Nihilir, Death, Chaos, Punch, Devorex Metal.
_Effect: A punch that encloses an area of space around the target before hitting and initiating chaotic destructions within it to destroy the target comprehensively.
The meteor turned Wyvern was instantly trapped within the dimension field of Erix's punch and exploded, rattling and distorting space.
But Erix's punch projectile exploded as well, bursting into dark purple sparks as it dismantled the Wyvern's defense before the effects began, negating the life within it with Death power while the Life aspect in the punch also helped it by sucking the life it.
The Wyvern had powerful Vitality so it didn't die instantly with the two Dimensional Chaos Punch, but Erasure Void Rods readily pierced into the wings, limbs, chest, and head of the Wyvern before exploding, creating seven holes as the already injured Wyvern instantly died.
Erix was struck by the Wyvern's attack as well and was struck back but the barrier nullified all the damage. Even if Erix was injured, his toughness was far higher than Wyvern's.
[Congratulations. You have completed the challenge.]
Arriving back on the 35th Floor, Erix saw a ticket materializing before him.
Erix didn't want to save this ticket, so he infused Prana into it and used it.
The ticket turned into sparks before conjuring a half-body-sized slot machine before Erix.
There was also a small chart hanging to the side that displayed the lowest to highest rewards. The slots only displayed numbers from 1 to 9 in three sections. The reward was based on the sum of all three numbers.
The highest was 9-9-9 and the lowest was 1-1-1.
'Let's see,' Erix rubbed his palms a couple of times before he pulled the lever.
The slot machine lit up with colorful LEDs and light designs as the numbers started spinning.
Zerol appeared nearby and started watching as he said, "I can't affect this by the way."
"Yeah," Erix nodded. After waiting for a second, he pressed the stop button.
*Trink*
9
The first slot showed the highest number 9, causing Erix's eyes to shine.
*Trink*
9
"Woah?" Erix was surprised. "One more."
*Trink*
3
"…"
[Congratulations, you have acquired the Intent-type skill scroll— War Cry.]
[War Cry]
_Type: Intent-skill.
_Concept: Roar
_Cost: 5% of Spirit force and 5% of Soul energy.
_Effect: Release a roar that affects spiritually marked allies within 1 kilometer to increase their tenacity and physical attributes by 20% while the unmarked living beings will have their spirit force's potency and physical capabilities reduced by 5-15% for 10 seconds.
_Note: Intent-skills' effectiveness depends on the difference in the Spirit and Soul power differences.
"Intent-skills…I heard we can make them once we go through Spiritual transformation," Erix muttered. Lilith and Aria had reached a higher realm of Spirit power, so they were capable of creating them, but Erix and others hadn't reached there yet.
"Indeed. However, you get an Intent-skill rune, so you can still execute this skill," Zerol said and grinned, "Well, you can use this skill's rune to learn and gather knowledge. Spirit transformation requires a powerful trigger and based on my knowledge and observation, you and Rin won't be able to do this anytime soon."
"Huh?" Erix was surprised. "What kind of trigger?"
Zerol shook his head. "The kind of trigger is different for everyone, but the basis of it is suffering and endurance. You need a trigger that pushes your mental limit and breaks it."
"Well, if you go outside of the planet, there are indeed life-threatening and such trigger-inducing places for one to reach a higher realm in Spirituality, but the death rate is 90% in those because stupid people think they can do it, and fail to endure the suffering and dies."
"It's all about the mind and the situations, your mentality, and circumstances that trigger it."
"I see…" Erix nodded in understanding. "It seems that there's no use thinking much about it."
"Onward to the next floor."
Erix disappeared and arrived on the next floor.
[36th Floor]
[Challenge]: Defeat the 300 Demon Fairies.
[Minimum Power Level Required]: 255,000.
[Chances]: 1
[Reward]: Insight Trial Tablet.
