Chapter 253: Mastering skills

Tower of Destiny, Floor 55;

Ten legendary grade level-300 beasts are attacking vigorously. 

Seven of them are getting thrashed by the lion, one after another while the remaining three were facing the Golem's punches.

The central protagonist was happily lying watching the battle… No… one-sided massacre while flapping his wings and drinking cola, cheering them up.

*Ding! You level up

"Go… Golem, that's it… punch it right in its face." "Yes, Leon, slash its throat and throw a fireball to crisp its face."

*Ding! You level up

*Ding! You level up

Only one is left on the battlefield.

Just as Leon about to finish the last monster, an arrow flew past like a lightning and struck the beast's forehead, killing it.

"Cool…" Wil brandished his bow, making a serious face as if he was the one who battled the beast the whole time.

*Ding! You level up.

*Ding! You cleared wave 2.

*Ding! You cleared the fifty-fifth floor.

"Argh… Dammit…" Looking at his level, Wil became frustrated. "Just 220 million short…"

Level: 299 (221,341,556 EXP needed to level up)

"Climbing another floor would be a waste of HP, now. And I can't go the lower floor either…"

As he concentrated on the lower floors, Wil wasn't able to find a single monster. "I wonder why they haven't been revived yet. Is it in Cooldown or should I have to clear all the floors…"

*bam*

A huge treasure box fell on the ground, pulling him out of his thoughts.

He opens it.

*Ding! You received a random peak-grade skill book, legendary-grade Appraisal scroll, legendary-grade Saddle, limit break stone*2, Demonic Essence crystal*1, and 3000 gold coins. Please check your inventory.

"Oh! A peak-grade scroll and Saddle… This time, it is a good reward."

Wil's eyes lit up as he saw the reward list. He didn't waste any time taking out both of them. It was the first pet equipment he acquired and it turned to be of legendary grade.

Destiny Saddle

Grade: Legendary

Type: Pet Equipment

Effects: User's attack increases by 25% when mounted.

Set Equipment: 1/4

Destiny Talons

Destiny Wing

Destiny Horn

All of them are still in grey color. Wil figured that as he climbed the floors, he might be able to acquire them.

Wil then clicked on the peak grade skill book and then selected Yes.

*Ding! Congratulations, you have acquired the Beast Taming skill.

"F**k**g god…" He can't but curse out once again as soon as he saw the skill name. "Too many surprises today..." A grin appeared on hi face.

It was very familiar to him.

In his third year of gaming, Wil acquired this skill in his past life by coincidence.

But as he wasn't strong enough to tame the legendary grade monsters, he was only able to tame Elite and Heroic beasts.

But, even those hundred monsters weren't enough to go against Bran. In return, he and his monsters were completely crushed.

Beast Taming (Beginner): Use the magic power to tame the wild monsters as long as they are equal to or less than your level. Tamer inventory: 1 slot. Cost: 100 mana points. CD: 12 hours.

While this skill might appear Overpowered as it has the potential to capture even a mythic grade, Wil knew this skill has its own disadvantages.

Unlike the summons that acquired from the skills or the battle companions, the beasts that were captured by this skill can't level up.

So, as the user level up, the monsters will become weak and they have to discard them away to pick a new monster.

"Well, let's maximize it."

Wil didn't waste any time and opened his inventory.

He scrolled and stopped on a slot that has the image of a green book, which represents a high-grade. Instead of simply clicking, he clicked and hold for a few seconds.

*Exchange for skill fragments?*

He clicked Yes.

*Select the number of books to exchange. 1 high-grade skill book = 10 skill fragments.

Wil went all in.

*Ding! You exchanged 24 random high-grade skill books for 240 skill fragments.

As he leveled up, Wil also received one skill fragment per every five levels. Combining with 19 of them, Wil gathered a total of 259 skill fragments.

For one second, Wil wondered whether he should hold them for a unique skill but since 1000 skill fragments are far away, he proceeds with the exchange. 

Wil then clicked on the slot and hold it once again.

*Exchange for skill points?*

"Yes."

*Select the number of skill fragments to exchange. 4 skill fragments = 1 skill point.

Wil went all in once again, gaining 64 skill points.

He proceeded to maximize every skill that's not been mastered yet.

He started with Beast Taming skill.

For beginner to Intermediate, one skill point has been consumed.

From intermediate to advanced, two skill points were deducted, and from advanced to master, four skill points were consumed.

*Ding! 7 skill points are deducted. You mastered Beast Taming.

"Okay, 57 left… More than enough…" Wil then started from the top order as he can cover all the skills either way.

*Ding! 6 skill points are deducted. You mastered Bubble.

*Ding! 7 skill points are deducted. You mastered Aura of Zenon.

*Ding! 7 skill points are deducted. You mastered Fire Pegasus.

*Ding! 6 skill points are deducted. You mastered Resurrection Ultimate.

*Ding! 7 skill points are deducted. You mastered Gravity Suppression.

*Ding! 7 skill points are deducted. You mastered Meteor Shower.

*Ding! 7 skill points are deducted. You mastered Multiple Lightning Arrows.

*Ding! 7 skill points are deducted. You mastered Weapon Transformation.

"Ah! It's over…" Wil realized that he used all the skill points and there's one last skill that needs to be mastered. It's the skill he acquired when he crossed level-250 which he didn't pay attention to, until right now.

Thunderbolt (Beginner): Summon a thunderbolt in the sky without any warning and take out your enemy by surprise. Effect: The attack contains 200% of your attack power. CD: 30 minutes.

*Slap* He slapped his forehead for another reckless behavior. 

"Sigh! Can't anything now…" He used the remaining three skill points on it.

*Ding! 3 skill point are deducted. Thunderbolt reached Advanced level.

Having nothing else to do, Wil returned to the material world and ordered the fallen Angels to sail towards the surface.
