Tower's Richest Player: My Coins Won't Stop Increasing-Chapter 57: That was not the end, no.

[2nd Floor of Tower of Cessation has been made available.]

[Clear the 2nd floor within <60 Days> or else your world will be terminated.]

"The raid party must have received rewards according to their contribution so I guess that’s a good thing." KiRA believed Zyon would have used all the means to clear the final boss.

The creature was a hell’s goat and not something one could just defeat even with a team as strong as them.

’I lost clues for him as well, it must have helped them a little.’

KiRA wanted Ziggy to be the one to clear the floor so that A2P2 could increase their influence around the world.

There were several factors that would limit his movements in case someone else cleared the floor, so he needed it to be him.

Also, since he knew the Association was still not strong enough to defeat a young hell goat, much less an adult one, he had made his preparations beforehand.

’The <Armament> was the only way to finish that creature off.’

KiRA gave Ziggy a bunch of things: potions, magic scrolls, items that would help them defeat the smaller creatures, the magic tome, and lastly, he even handed him the item that was produced after combining the 69 items he got in the cathedral.

The <Armament> that he obtained was pretty similar to the formless weapons like the sword that he was using, however, this weapon wasn’t merely a weapon meant to be used for killing.

Within the tower of trials, Armaments were some of the strongest weapons that could decide the flow of a battle and war.

They were weapons possessing tremendous potential, however, unless one was strong enough to use them, they could not bring out the true powers that these weapons had.

’It must not have been easy.’

The armaments were the last resort since they used a tremendous amount of one’s energy just to activate it.

Unless you have enough power, you cannot activate the weapon. And once used, you cannot use it for a long time either.

There were many restrictions on these weapons that were lifted according to the strength of the owners of these weapons. In the right hands, an Armament was also a power that could change the tides of the wars and battles.

’He should take good care of it.’

KiRA wanted it, but seeing the great potential Ziggy had, he left it to him instead.

He gave the Saint’s skill to Iz, he gave the armament to Ziggy, and what he had left on him was simply a material that he got from outside the cathedral... a material that he gave up for the creation of the item that was present before him right now.

"Just look at this..."

It was a sight of pure, unblemished beauty.

"Vivi~! Viv!!" (It’s sooooo pretty, master~!)

One was white and the other was black. There was originally only supposed to be one of them, but then Elder Blaik received ’enlightenment’ mid-creation and improved the design.

The Lime elder did not understand what was happening with him, however he had seen the look that elder Blaik had during that time.

It was the passionate look that all creators, all those who love what they are doing, want to possess without realizing it themselves.

This look of being one with their work... Some call it being in the Zone or in the Flow state, but in the tongue of the Dwarves, this was called [Immersion].

When one was immersed in the process of creation, it was best to just leave them or, if you’re helping them, then help them without hindering anything they’re doing.

At their level, especially, to be immersed in something at such an age only happened when they were in the process of their final creation... and, the elder who created this item knew it as well...

"I can die peacefully now."

This was the work of his life, the final masterpiece that was born from the idea of a young human who wasn’t even involved in the process of creation.

The elder who dedicated his life to the creation of artifacts with unique functionality found the true meaning of ’functionality’ within this item.

He found what it truly meant to be functional, and according to his understanding, and his life’s experiences, he moulded the hybrid item into something unfathomable.

"I would have loved to see it work as well... however..."

[Barrier Effect: 00:21:30.]

It wasn’t time for the barrier to vanish yet, but the elder who had poured his heart, blood, and soul in these arm guards was smiling peacefully right now. fгeewebnovёl.com

"KiRA." Looking at Kai, Elder Blaik gave him a look of admiration.

"I will be forever grateful for this wonderful opportunity, Forever." The elder walked to a nearby chair since all the strength in his body had left him. He was happy, however, his body did not have any strength, any energy left in him.

"It was a... treasured experience... to work on these two." He closed his eyes, his body turning cold with each passing moment.

"Call them Equinox. And... use them... well."

-Ooooooooong!

The body of the old elder started glowing with particles of green.

"Yes... elder." KiRA knelt down, feeling fortunate to witness a special scene such as this once again in this tower. "I will call them Blaik’s Equinox."

The smile stayed on his face, his green eyes finally closing forever.

His boulder-like body was, at the end of the day, still a product of this world.

He was a mortal as well.

The long lifespans of the Dwarves... it was moments like these that reminded the Players that despite the difference in life expectancy, the special races of the tower were still subject to the eternal afterlife.

"Farewell, brother." Elder Lime wished the elder who had received an end he also longed for, a bitter smile present on his face.

"Farewell..."

The Dwarven elder vanished into the particles of light, becoming one with the nature that all of them were born from.

"It was his time, Elder. Yours... will come as well." KiRA patted the back of Lime elder while standing up, reminding him it was just how life was.

The two of them had worked on this item together and yet, only one of them ascended to the afterlife.

It wasn’t just because the elder received enlightenment, it was simply fate.

His time in this world had ended, however that was not the end, no.

"How about we check what the elder cooked in his last moments?"

He created the very first hybrid item of the era, something that might stay as the only one of its kind until the middle floors.

KiRA was the owner of these special items and he was going to make sure at least the name of the elder who created it reaches the floor that they were chased away from.

"Yeah... let’s go. We do not have long anyway."

"That’s right."

The barrier will lift soon and the effect of the ’blessing’ would return.

The elder would fall asleep as well, becoming lazy once again.

’Perhaps this experience will mean something to him...’

Perhaps the blessing might not stay as long as it would have thanks to that, however, he knew he could not stay here until then.

He had obtained all that he was here for and much more. He had to move to the next step... the true prisoner was still alive and he needed to take it down before she regained her strength.

’Rest in peace, Elder Blaik.’

He did not have a deep connection with the dwarf, but he reminded him of the many of his kind that KiRA had deep connection with in the game.

He was just like them... happy, wise, strong, even funny.

And KiRA was going to carry on the legacy he had left behind.

’He won’t be the last one to leave so soon...’

There will come a time when most that he meets in his path leaves him, when he has to leave them, and when he can no longer stay with them.

He knew those times would be hard, but... the hardest of it would be no longer being able to meet them because they aren’t alive.

Death was the true end, and for the ones closest to him, for his family, for Ziggy and Iz, he could not bring about that unfortunate end.

’That’s why I must move forward.’

His actions will have consequences.

Ones that will Cause ripples in the very Laws that the system maintains...
