Chapter 113: Tower of Mariuk part-3

"A million per 10 seconds, huh? I guess I worry for nothing."

As the lava erupted from the volcano and engulfed Kallius for a second before disappearing, his hp started to drop by 1 million per each second. But, realizing that his total hp is only decreased by 20%, Wil sighed in relief and spoke, "Dromeus, heal him. Kallius… continue your job but don't go closer than 20 meters."

Kallius nodded and shot a Fireball towards golem before he quickly dashed towards the second one while Dromeus quickly brought back him to full health with ease. 

"I thought he would die for sure as players rarely survive this ambush before. I forgot that it's damage over time and is only 10 million max damage. With 75% of my stats, He has more than 50 million hp. Still, I should have warned him before since five of such attacks can kill him."

As Kallius brought all three of them together, Wil unleashed "Absolute freeze" and froze them in the Ice.

Once they are trapped inside the ice, the rest became easier for the minions to finish them off quickly.

*Ding. You level up.

*Ding. You level up.

*Ding. You level up.

Throwing the drops into inventory, Wil proceeded to the fifth floor.

Unlike the previous floors, the fifth floor doesn't have any kind of lava puddles or exploding tiny golems. Only eight Heroic mobs, the lava golems with mages on top of their shoulders were waiting for him.

"Kallius, same thing as before. Gather eight of them at one spot. Don't forget to maintain a distance between 20 and 30 meters. Dromeus, as usual, follow him…" Wil ordered him while giving a warning again.

Getting his order, Kallius nodded like a puppet and flew towards the giant lava Golems that are simply standing far away from each other like a statue.

Even though each of them had 52 million of hp, it didn't take long for the party to finish them after Kallius gathered them and Wil spent used Arrow shower, to rain arrows from the ceiling 

*Ding. You level up.

Notifications rang in his ears rang nine more times and Wil reached level-175 directly. Meanwhile, Felix reached level-150 and grew the fourth tail along with receiving another skill.

Fox-Fire Manipulation: Felix gathers magic from surroundings and creates a blue fireball by its tails. The size and the power of the fireball increase by 10% for each tail increased. It can manipulate the direction while attacking the enemy. Cast time: number of tails*1 seconds. CD: 1 hour.

A wide smile appeared on Wil as he looked at the new skill, "Finally, Felix got attack ability. Since its blue fire, the damage will be twice its attack. Even though the current one has only a 130% attack, it's actually 260%. With my golem's buff, it'll be raised to 520%. That means the current one can take out a heroic mob with ease."

Looking at the four-tailed Silver bluish Fox, Wil said, "Okay, Felix. I'll be counting on you from now onwards. Let's become the best partners."

*wow*

Felix barked in response and revealed it's canines that became even sharper than before, although there are no other visible changes on the outside except for an addition of a tail.

The young man sitting on the shoulder of a giant Golem, his two servants followed by a fox stepped on the stairs and started climbing towards the 6th floor.

Like one expects, the sixth floor is also unique and different from the previous floors.

But, this time, the danger lies with the environment rather than the enemies.

Reaching the floor, Wil saw there was a simple 30 sq. meter platform more than 150 meters away. On it, there stood four mages in a square formation while their staffs are glowing.

While the platform was protected by four giant golems that look similar to Wil's Golem except for their green eyes, the rest of the entire floor filled with poisonous gas.

"Hmm, if I remember it correctly, it takes 100K hp per second. That makes 6 million damage per minute. That means the rest of them can barely last 10 minutes. On above it, one must defeat the four guardians with their mages healing them.

And this golem might self destruct at a random time. It's a bit dangerous for Kallius and Golem to tackle them who are slow at dodging. Hmm…" 

Wil who thought of a strategy, and ordered the fallen angels and the Golem to stand down and then jumped down beside Felix.

Caressing its fur, Wil said, "Felix, for this fight, it's just you and me. You take the right ones and I take the left ones. Remember to attack only one and after finishing it, move on to the second one."

*wow*

Felix barked and rushed into the poisonous gas environment. Wil didn't worry about it as it has more than 300 million hp and walked towards the first golem on the left side without caring about the declining hp as he can easily heal himself on the spot.

"-100000" "-100000" "-100000" "-100000"…

While he was losing 100 thousand of health per second, Wil reached 50 meters range from the Golem. Since he stopped at a spot that's out of its range, it wasn't able to detect him while giving him the opportunity to shoot a fire arrow.

*Ting*

As soon as he releases the string, the fire arrow shot like a lightning and pierced its chest. A critical appeared and it instantly downed to less than 10%. 

"44,687,528"

"Damn, almost got killed. After this, I should enhance the equipment and unseal some of the stats of accessories with the legendary appraisal scrolls I got from the battle-shop."

After getting attacked, the Golem started to rush towards him. Wil simply finished it with a normal arrow and then aimed at the next one. This time, he shot an ice arrow thereby not only killing it but also helped Felix to finish the second one by the time it resisted the freezing effect and become free.

*Ding. You level up

*Ding. You level up

*Ding. You level up

*Ding. You level up

After destroying the four golems quickly in a mere dozen seconds, the mages disappeared on their own and they proceed towards the 7th and the final floor of the dungeon.

While they were climbing the steps, Wil and Dromeus started healing the rest of them to full health as they were exposed to poisonous gas while going to the exit.

The final floor is on the terrace of the tower. Just like the fifth floor, it's a plain platform with no traps or special environment.

There was only one enemy. A Giant Golem that's standing in the middle of the platform, which is supported by six heroic grade mages wearing robes while the hood covering their faces.

All six of them are not only healers but they are also providing a buff to its stats.

Emberstone Golem, Muriek

Grade: Legendary

Level: 200

Hp: 676 million

Description: Muriek, a once known Master alchemist has been turned into a Golem because of a failure in his experiment.

Inspecting it, Wil mumbled, "Hmm, there is a 30% increase in its health. That means it's a 30% buff. Usually, a level-200 legendary grade has around 10 million of attack power. So, around 13 million. As for defense, it's 2.6 million.

The only issue people face with this monster is its critical rate and resist. Well, it doesn't matter to me, either way. I can finish it off with "Heavenly push" in one second."

As he raised his hands towards the Golem and about to unleash his trump card to finish it off in a single move, Wil heard a bark from behind.

*wow*wow*

He stopped and asked as he turned his head towards his pet, "Felix, do you fight it, alone?"

*wow*

Felix barked giving him an affirmation.

Wil stared at it and thought for a while, "Hmm, with Golem's buff, statistically, Felix is stronger than the Golem. But, if it blindly charges, then, it might lose. Let's see what it can do.

If it can do well, then, I can leave the future hunting it to Felix while I relax and enjoy the free exp. After all, I sacrificed 50% of the exp to it.

But, then again, I should thank the first explorer's buff for it though. If not for 100% exp buff, I would think of leveling it up only after I reach level-200." 

Understanding its thoughts, Wil nodded and pointed his finger towards the enemy, "fine. Go and battle it to your heart content."

As Wil walked behind, Felix looked at the enemy and growled and revealed its canines and revealed its sharp claws from the legs before dashing towards the enemy.

Sensing the enemy as fox entered its range; the Emberstone Golem raised its hand and made a fist before punching towards Felix, which dodged to the right and scratched it with its claws.

"12,612,381"

Looking at the enormous on Emberstone Golem's head, Wil nodded in satisfaction, "sure enough. Felix can win this duel with ease as long as my Golem stays active."

Just then, the six healers raised their staff, and green magic energy started flowing from their staff towards the golem and healed 7.6 million of hp bringing its total health to 671 million.

Meanwhile, the Golem stomped on the floor heavily and Felix flew into the air. Looking at the tiny fox, the Emberstone punched it with the right hand, hitting it right on the spot.

"-12,821,359"
