Chapter 581: Second Floor (2)

According to the information Leo had gained about the God Tower, even Mythical Grade Heroes and cultivators would die if they were careless.

Therefore, when he sensed how easy the challenge for the second floor was, Leo felt something was fishy.

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

Despite the sudden increase in the difficulty of the challenge, Leo felt satisfied as he had enough time to think of a solution to clear the second floor.

‘So, the main enemy of this floor is the Energy-Draining Ground.’

The moment he received the system notification, Leo stopped running and felt that his energy was not draining anymore.

‘I will be drained of my energy if I move and if I don’t move, I will be crushed by the monster horde.’

The energy drain from the ground below him was so huge that he might die from over-exhaustion, therefore after some thinking, he decided not to move and think of something.

‘Judging from the speed of the monster horde, it will take at least three minutes to reach me, before that, I have to come up with a solution.’

Soon, he started his calculations while trying his best to figure out a way to clear the second floor.

‘Thanks to the God Tower’s restrictions, I don’t have many options and I could only think of one thing.’

Currently, Leo didn’t have talents, or the items he collected before entering the God Tower, leaving him with only one option.

‘Even if I use that thing, I don’t think I can last those last two minutes. Lasting one minute by drinking the Diluted Recovery Potion will already be a good thing but lasting two minutes is absolutely impossible.’

Since the monster horde takes three minutes to reach him, Leo only needs to survive for another two minutes to clear the second floor.

So, he thought of using the Diluted Recovery Potion to recover his stamina drained by the ground to survive against the incoming monster horde for those two minutes.

However, Leo felt he would be crushed to death by the incoming monster horde within a minute.

‘Damn it…I have no talents or items to last for that last minute. If I don’t survive for that last one minute, using the Diluted Recovery Potion would be a huge waste.’

If Leo didn’t clear the second floor after using the Diluted Recovery Potion, he would be taking a huge loss because, inside the God Tower, Diluted Recovery Potion was quite valuable and Leo didn’t want to use it unless he was confident in clearing the second floor.

‘What can I do to survive for that last one minute?’

Leo racked his brains for the last one minute while looking at the monster horde getting closer to him with each passing second.

‘Should I try my luck with the Diluted Awakening Potion?’

Even though he would have only a 10 percent chance to awaken a Quasi-Divine Talent after drinking it, Leo’s chances of surviving would gradually increase.

What’s more, if he could successfully awaken a new talent, Leo wouldn’t have to use the diluted recovery potion anymore to clear the second floor.

‘Damn it…let’s try to survive the second floor first and think about merging the Diluted Awakening Potions in the future.’

Once he thought of the Diluted Awakening Potion, Leo no longer wasted any time as he decided to use it now to see whether he could awaken a talent or not.

‘Diluted Awakening Potion’

‘Swoosh’

With a thought, the potion appeared in Leo’s hand and he drank the golden liquid in it.

‘It tastes like honey.’

Leo commented on the taste as he waited for the potion to do what it was supposed to do.

‘Swoosh’

The moment Leo gulped the entire potion, his body emitted a dim golden-coloured light.

Leo didn’t feel any pain whatsoever; instead, he felt his stamina was being recovered at an incredible speed.

‘Is it an additional effect or what?’

It was a pleasant surprise for Leo regarding the effect of recovering stamina from drinking the Diluted Awakening Potion.

Nevertheless, it was quite helpful for Leo who barely had any stamina left in his body.

‘I hope I can awaken a Quasi-Divine Talent.’

Seeing that his body was still emitting a golden glow, Leo became quite hopeful in awakening a new talent.

‘Ding,

The master has failed to awaken a Quasi-divine talent by consuming the Diluted Awakening Potion.

Before the golden glow on his body could disappear, the system had already informed him that he had successfully failed in awakening the talent, making Leo bitterly shake his head.

‘What is there to expect when the awakening chance was only 10 percent.’

Even though Leo became quite hopeful a few seconds back, he controlled his emotions by remembering the 10 percent success rate in awakening the quasi-divine talent.

‘Anyway, the good thing about drinking the diluted awakening potion is that it has completely recovered my stamina…I think I will run for 10 kilometers before the ground drains all my energy.’

By increasing the distance between him and the monster horde by 10 kilometers, Leo was confident in surviving the last two minutes without drinking the Diluted Recovery Potion.

‘Time to run at full speed.’

Without further ado, Leo took a deep breath and ran at his full speed.

‘Swiish’

With his strength of Level 5 legend grade along with his Legend-Grade Starlight Steps movement technique, Leo ran more than 10 kilometers in less than 10 seconds.

‘Ding,

Please stop running, master.

Just like before, Leo received the system notification, asking him to stop running because if he ran anymore, he would die because of over-exhaustion.

‘With the additional 10 kilometers, I can easily survive for three minutes, not to mention the two minutes I needed.’

Leo heaved a sigh of relief as he was fully confident in clearing the second floor now.

Leo didn’t move anymore as he kept one eye on the timer and the other on the incoming monster horde which was a couple of kilometers.

[1:00]

[0:59]

‘Roar’

However, just when the timer reached one minute, Leo felt the monster horde’s speed had increased.

‘It looks like I have to use the diluted recovery potion and run again.’
