Chapter 369: Seed Acquired
So this is the tower seed. Miles looked at the small item floating in the separate room on the 50th floor. The seed was spinning endlessly in the air. It was darker than the night.
If I touch it, the door will appear for me to leave, then the tower will be demolished, Miles said and touched the seed. As soon as his finger touched the spinning seed, it stopped altogether and started to fall down. Miles caught the seed and took a step back. The tower started to shake madly, and even dust and debris started to fall.
50 floors to climb. Miles sighed and ran up with everything he had. In no time at all, he reached the first floor and saw the door once again. After he left, the tower crumbled on itself and doors fell down towards the newly created hole on the ground. Miles looked down but the only thing he could see was darkness. He turned back to the cave and started to look around.
Too bad there is nothing in the cave. Miles lamented as he looked at every nook and cranny to find nothing. There wasnt even a core.
The Queen probably consumed all of them. Coin commented.
Yeah. Miles sighed as he started to climb back to the surface. As he reached the surface, he was taken aback by human standing not far away from the hole and inspecting the battlefield. At first, he thought it was an enemy but the insignia on the mans uniform indicated that he was working for the academy.
Hello there. He called out although he didnt lower his defenses.
General Kenobi? The person looked at Miles and asked with a tilt of his head.
What? Miles asked in bewilderment.
Sorry. It is an old joke. The man laughed as he looked at Miles from top to bottom. You are Number 2 right?
That is me. Miles raised Coin to show his student ID.
Dean was worried about you since you have been away for so long. The man said and reached out for his inner pocket. As he did, Miles drew out his dagger to prepare but the man raised both his hands. In one of them, he was holding an envelope. Easy there, tiger. Dean wanted me to give you this.
True. Miles nodded as he looked at the man, who started to answer his question.
It is not. He said. One time it was to hunt monsters outside of the walls. One time it was students competing against each other. They are coming up with new ways every year, but this time it is inside the walls for sure.
How do you know? Miles asked as he processed the information.
Because, monsters, animals and walking dead are quite restless lately. Outside is too dangerous.
But, the rewards are excellent.
Oh, what are the rewards? Miles asked in wonder.
Dont know the full details, but one of them is the first-ever Frenzy-Rank, Dual Elemental Orb. The man said.
Impossible! Miles exclaimed as he halted.
Why are you so worked up? The man turned to look at Miles to see he was sweating and was pale. Oh, right you were away for a long time, you didnt hear about it.
Hear what? Miles asked hurriedly. He was the only one who could manufacture Dual Elemental Orbs and he never created one in Frenzy-Rank. Although he had a theory about it, he never had the chance to try it since his energy was elementless. But ever since he awakened the second element, he wanted to try to see if the idea he came up with would work or not.
'Can it be mother?' He asked but denied the possibility. 'She took an entirely different path and created the Mechs. It can't be her.'
The chief scientist Adam Aurora discovered the secret behind Dual Elemental Orbs and thanks to his method, the first ever Frenzy-Rank Dual Elemental Orb was born.
