Tower Ascension
Chapter 33 - Floor Zero Dungeon- Part 5
Hodder sighed and snapped his finger. In an instant, Alice glowed with blue light. Her mana level and internal energy rapidly grew. Not only that, but she also got one passive and one active skill in her mind.
The climber has one major disadvantage. The system decides the number of skills they can possess. Unlike them, normal folks can choose as many as they want.
As the blue light fade away, Alice turned her head at Peter and jumped. Her lips felt on his cheeks as she disappeared in the mid-air. She was teleported to the first floor.
Feeling her soft lips, Peter sighed "Parting is always hard."
Listening to himself, he laughed. He had almost parted away from his loved one and family in earth. He raised his head and stared at the small door with seriousness in his eyes.
"It seems you need some rest before you challenge that room," Hodder spoke as he looked at Peter\'s poor condition.
"Yes," As he said, Peter took out a few chickens. Using the flames, he started grilling the chickens on his sword.
"Alright, I should go. You can only rest for three hours." Hodder smiled at his behavior and disappeared. Suddenly, he appeared near the clouds. But this time, he wasn\'t alone. There was another man standing next to him.
"So, you seem to have arrived early. It seems you have already bought some administrations" Hodder spoke without even looking at the man. This man was wearing a black suit over a white shirt and black pants. He also had a watch in his hands and sunglasses on his eyes.
"Of course, I wouldn\'t miss someone with such unique skill. If you have power, you can do anything you want." The man chuckles with his handsome face. He had short silver hair.
"So, you want to recruit him now?" Hodder asked with some doubts in his tone.
"Depends on him! If he joins my Guild, then he will live but he doesn\'t then he will die." The man speaking was none other than Lucifer. He arrived before the third day.
"Unfortunately, he is already inside the dungeon," Hodder spoke.
"It doesn\'t matter. I bet he is going for the main inheritance. It only makes him more valuable." Lucifer spoke as he turned his head at Hodder and asked.
"But, I don\'t understand, why can\'t I find his information from other administration?"
"I don\'t understand what you mean. He hasn\'t even crossed the Zero Floor." Hodder chuckles.
But, suddenly Lucifer radiates a cold aura and looked at Hodder with sharp eyes as he takes off his sunglasses
"Don\'t try to fool me! You are the head of all administration. You can delete and hide the information of any climber you want. Whenever the climber enters the tower, his information goes through you and then transferred to others."
"What are you trying to achieve?"
Hearing those words, Hodder made a big smile "Do you really think you can do whatever you want just because you have that Wand? You can only make three changes inside the tower. And, you only have one last left."
"You are not god. You are not strong enough to change anything on your own. I don\'t understand why those cowards even listen to you."
Hearing his words, Lucifer\'s eyes shrunk. Hodder wasn\'t wrong. But, soon a smile appeared on his lips as he spoke "Because I have the chances cross the hundredth floor. You know what it means, right? As long as I can cross the hundredth floor, this whole tower will belong to me."
"That means everyone and everything will be mine, including you."
"Sorry but you can\'t. You neither have enough strength nor enough Faith. You still have dozens of opposition standing against you for the Faith of the people. They will never let you be the God." Hodder shook his head and instantly disappeared.
"We\'ll see!" Lucifer gritted his teeth with hatred in his eyes.
...…
Inside the Dungeon, Peter was devouring food. He was totally hungry and after finishing three chickens, he waited for a while. It was still unbelievable that he finished three chickens. But, it was due to his recent changes.

\'I hope I can face off against the monster beasts inside the Hidden Room.\' Peter took a deep breath and walked towards the Hidden Room. The door wasn\'t big and fancy. And, it was also closed.
He opened the door and walked inside an empty room.
Grr!
As soon as he entered the room, he heard the wolf\'s sound.
Click! Click! Click!
Slowly, the lights turned on. They were hung in the ceiling. As he fell on his eyes, he was able to see his surroundings. One, ten, no there were hundreds of wolves in front of him. And more importantly, his eyes almost popped out when he saw their status.

\'I guess, it\'s going to be impossible to win a battle, right?\'
Peter helplessly sighed as he looked at the number of wolves.
Hundred wasn\'t a low number especially when they are above you and you can\'t improve in the middle of that battle. And, there a big boss at the last.
\'My strength should be equal to the tenth-level monster beast and my agility should be above them. It is still in my favor. But, that thing bothering me. If it would be this easy, why didn\'t anyone win? There must be something that I don\'t know off.\'
\'Something that I must understand.\'
Grr! Roar!
But suddenly, he got awake from his thoughts as one of the wolves pounced towards him. Peter didn\'t flinch. He clenched his fist and took a step forward. While the wolf was still in the air, he slammed its jaw.
Bang! Thud!
The wolf flew away and collides with the wall. When he took back his punch, he frowned as he look at his fist. But, before he could relax, two more wolves rushed towards him. He raised his foot and smashed their heads.
Bang! Bang! Thud!
Both of them ended up colliding with the walls and falling to the ground. Finally, Peter decided to take offense. He pressed his foot on the ground and rushed towards the wolf. With his agility at thirty, he moved like the wind.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Without even giving them a chance to read his move, Peter punched every wolf he got. But suddenly the wolves also started using wind manipulation to run faster. They ran around the massive room, trying to match his speed.
But until then, Peter had already killed twenty wolves. He didn\'t stop though. He kept moving with his incredible speed and hitting the wolves. But soon, he found the wolves had already caught up. He stopped and turned around.
His movement made the wolf behind him surprised. Without giving it a chance to move, Peter punched. His fist moved straight to the wolf\'s head. But suddenly, the swung its claw as it.
Bang!
Its paw and his fist collided, stopping each other. Seeing this, Peter looked at the wolf with wide eyes as he got pushed back. Suddenly, a realization struck his head. He instantly used two points of internal energy into his fist and improved his strength.
Only then he was able to keep his feet stagnant. At this moment, the wolf couldn\'t push him but he wasn\'t able to push the wolf either. At this moment, his eyes fell on its status.
[Creature- Wolf (Lv.8)
Rank- Common]
Splash!
Suddenly, another wolf took a chance and slashed its claw at Peter. But his offensive only made Peter use another point of internal energy and gave it a round kick.
Bang!
As he kicked, he turned around and saw the status of that wolf. It didn\'t die but it was seriously injured.
[Creature- Wolf (Lv.7)
Rank- Common]
He hurriedly took many leaps behind and looked at the wolves with wide eyes.
\'Damn! No wonder no one could complete this hidden room. It\'s impossible. There are hundreds of wolves and you got only twenty-five points of mana and internal energy. More importantly, it was their physical attributes.\'
\'Damn! I should\'ve thought this earlier. Level five was the limit for a reason. It must be this. Once you level up after level five, your physical attributes improve by four instead of two. Level Eight Wolf had the strength of 22 points.\'
\'I had the strength of 20 points. I had to use two points of internal energy just to get an equal footing. The level nine wolf is going to have twenty-six points of physical attributes. It\'s vitality, stamina, everything will be at the second-best.\'
\'This leaves me a question. Can I truly kill the Boss even with my Dying Divine Breath?\'
