Chapter 333: The Tower

Sir, what is this place? A girl with short red hair asked as she looked at the giant tower in front of her. The tower seemed like it was reaching the sky. The pitch black tower was standing proudly as if nothing could faze it.

It is our destination. Look alive, people! Merlin shouted with authority. He was the leader of the expedition, so he was more careful than ever.

Two weeks ago, a person approached him when he was hunting alone. What surprised Merlin was, that he failed to feel mans existence didnt matter how close he was. It wasn't an assassin technique nor Veil, but a superpower or an ultimate. Otherwise, he would be able to feel at least a little bit of mans energy.

The man informed him of this tower, and what was inside of it. He wouldnt believe him if the man didnt offer him his superpower. At first, Merlin still had some doubts, but after finally copying the mans superpower for more than five minutes, he accepted the mans offer.

Yes, sir! The forty-nine soldiers saluted silently and walked behind Merlin. There was a 50-meter radius circle around Merlin, removing their presence. This was the power he copied. So long as the owner of the power didnt want to, no one could feel those in the circle.

Merlin used this power to sneak his men out of the stronghold to the tower. Not that he had to, it was only a facade.

When they were at the foot of the tower, he looked at the weird entrance. It had strange drawings resembling runes, but not anything he saw before. He had seen monster runes and rune orbs. But this wasnt similar to either of them. But he still could feel the power inside the carvings.

They were still not too strong for Merlin and the soldiers. They swept through the floor with ease and kept on moving. Until the 10th floor. There, for the first time, a monster with a truly dangerous element appeared. It was a frog-like monster with a colorful body.

Be careful. It is a rare type of poison element and can corrode whatever it touches. Including your lungs. Merlin warned. Create an air bubble around your head lest you breathe it in.

Yes, sir. Soldiers saluted and formed air bubbles with energy, before approaching the monster. The monster in question was looking at them with hatred. Purple gas was seeping through his body and mouth. Wherever it hit, it would melt everything. Be it hard metal the ground was made of, or the trees around.

Merlin looked at the monster with a grin and attacked without any prior action. He appeared beside the monster and the spear in his hand shone with red fiery energy. When it was in front of the monster, the orange light mixed with a fire element and pierced through the monster from its head. Merlin looked at the monster and smirked. Is this the 10th-floor boss? But the next second, he realized the monster was expanding.

Fall back! Merlin shouted and dashed away as fast as he could. But he was still too late. Just when a big amount of corrosive liquid was about to hit him, a purple barrier came out of his ring and stopped it in front of him.

Merlin looked at the ring with a sigh. Would have never thought you would save me, brother. He muttered under his breath. Although the monster was just a middle-tier monster and couldnt damage Merlin seriously, the final attack was strong, and his body was weaker than Frenzy-Rank monsters.

Sir, be more mindful. One of the soldiers said while looking defiantly at Merlin. Merlin nodded and walked towards the stairs.
