Chapter 580: Second Floor

‘Even though I want to drink this Diluted Awakening Potion now, I will save it for later.’

Leo removed the thought of drinking the potion now as he thought of his super special talent [Fundamental Merge].

He believed that he could merge multiple diluted awakening potions into a concentrated awakening potion to guarantee his chance of awakening a quasi-divine talent.

Currently, he could not use that particular talent; however, when he leaves God Tower, he could use it to merge the diluted awakening potions.

‘As for getting more diluted awakening potions, I am sure there will be more of them waiting in the higher floors of the God Tower.’

Leo was not worried that he would not find more diluted awakening potions as he believed in Heaven’s Voice.

‘As far as I saw, Heaven’s Voice is always rewarding me with the things I need. So, I believe I will get more diluted awakening potions by clearing the floors from Heaven’s Voice.’

Leo was quite observant of such things and believed that the Heaven’s Voice was an entity that would bless him with the things that he needed.

‘Anyway, let’s take a rest for now.’

Leo looked at the timer and silently muttered to himself before resting his back on the bed.

‘Ding,

Detected that the master has successfully cleared the first floor.

‘Ding,

A revival card is unlocked and added to the master’s existing revival cards.

‘Ding,

Total revival cards: 3.

While he was resting, Leo received a series of system notifications regarding the revival card.

However, he was not surprised about it as he already learned about it through Linus.

‘I think I received three potions because of my age…especially that diluted awakening potion, it must be an additional reward.’

While resting on the bed, Leo thought of different things as he looked at the timer.

…..

[Challenger, are you ready to challenge the second tower of the God Tower?]

Time continued to pass and one hour passed by in a flash as Leo came out of his thoughts when he heard Heaven’s Voice.

“I am ready.”

Leo didn’t need any rest to begin with as all his injuries were healed thanks to the [Nether Rage Booster].

So, the moment he heard Heaven’s Voice, Leo was excited to enter the second floor of the God Tower.

‘Swoosh’

Without any delay, Leo disappeared from his resting room and appeared in the open ground.

[The second floor’s challenge is survival. Survive for 10 minutes against the incoming horde]

The Heaven’s Voice didn’t give much time for Leo to check his surroundings as it announced the second floor’s challenge.

‘Roar’

‘Roar’

In the next second, Leo heard the roars from the distance.

‘Thump’

‘Thump’

.

.

Along with the roars, Leo could feel the rhythmic movements of the ground below him which gave a familiar feeling to Leo.

‘I had this feeling countless times; however, this time, I should do the completely opposite thing from what I used to do before.’

Leo had a bitter smile on his face as he muttered to himself while looking at the faint silhouettes of the monster horde in the distance.

‘From the looks of it, they must be at least 10 kilometers away from me.’

Thanks to the flat terrain and with the help of the system’s calculations, Leo could estimate the distance between him and the incoming monster horde.

‘Even though they are not fast, they are not slow either. It’s time for some action.’

As soon as he decided what to do to clear the second floor, Leo didn’t waste any time and started running in the opposite direction from the monster horde.

That’s right!

It was after a long time, Leo was running away from a monster horde; however, he was not embarrassed by it because the main objective of this floor was to survive.

With his current battle prowess, Leo was sure that he would be killed by the monster stampede before he could fill the [Nether Rage Booster].

Moreover, according to the system, every single monster in the monster horde has the strength of a peak legend-grade strength.

So, even if he managed to fill the [Nether Rage Booster] somehow, Leo was not confident in killing all the monsters in the horde with the temporary boost he would get by activating the [Nether Rage Booster].

‘Swoosh’

Soon, Leo started running as he wanted to increase the distance between him and the incoming monster horde.

‘It is just a 10-minute survival challenge. As long as I maintain my speed, I can easily clear this floor.’

Compared to what Leo used to think about the challenges inside the God Tower, the current challenge didn’t seem hard.

Even if he ran a little slower than the incoming monster horde, he could easily clear the second floor.

.

.

[9:00]

[8:59]

Above Leo’s head, an illusory timer appeared as it moved at Leo’s speed.

‘One minute passed….Nine more minutes.’

Leo didn’t run at his full speed as he saved his energy in case the difficulty of the challenge increased with the decrease of the time.

.

.

[8:00]

[7:59]

.

.

[7:00]

[6:59]

However, there were no changes in the challenge, making Leo frown.

During the past four minutes, the distance between him and the monster didn’t decrease; in fact, it increased even more, making Leo barely see the silhouettes of the monsters.

‘Isn’t it going too smoothly for the second floor of the God Tower?’

On the first floor of the God Tower, Leo had nearly died from the attacks of the Devil Fishes; however, now, on the second floor, even though the enemies were powerful, clearing it was very easy.

‘Nevermind…it seems I have overestimated the God Tower.’

Leo didn’t think much about it as he maintained his pace while keeping an eye on his surroundings for any sudden attacks from the monsters.

.

.

[5:00]

[4:59]

‘Huh? Why do I feel tired all of a sudden?’

After another two minutes, Leo suddenly felt exhausted and out of breath.

‘Ding,

Master, the ground below you is draining your energy at an incredible speed. Please stop running; otherwise, you will die from over-exhaustion.

‘Damn it…the difficulty of the floor is finally here.’
