Tower Ascension

Chapter 47 - Battle With Some Bounty Hunters



Peter froze at his words and thought about it. He knew this old man won\'t give his granddaughter to some random dude that visited the shop and had a nice conversation.

\'This old man has planned something. He knows a lot and that\'s why he dares to trust his granddaughter with me. It seems I can only be more careful around him. But, on the upside, I got a powerful backer inside the tower.\'

\'Backer on the outside and backer on the inside. Now, I can work smoothly.\' Peter thought to himself. After that, he says goodbye to the old man and Alexa. He leaves the black market and then walks up to the information counter.

"Do you have the location of Hounds, Red Goblins, and Fire Lizard?" Peter asks as he puts his hand on the table.

"It would cost three mana coins." The lady smiles and tells him the price before revealing the information.

\'That\'s freaking expensive. Wait, does this mean the higher floor will only get expensive? Shit! I need to earn more mana coins.\' Peter thought to himself but still ended up taking out three mana coins.

"Hounds can be on the northern part of Persia Forest. Red Goblin lives in the eastern part. Though I would suggest you make a circle around the forest rather than move from the middle. Because Fire Lizards lives there. So, unless you are powerful enough to face them, keep yourself safe!" The lady took three mana coins and answers his question.

"And, where exactly is this Persia Forest?" Peter asked with a little confusion.

"It is the nearest forest where you got teleported to." Surprisingly, the lady didn\'t ask him for mana coins and answered.

"Thank you!" Saying so, Peter left the information office. But, he didn\'t notice the lady picking up a telephone.

"Yes, he has left the information office." She speaks.

"Are you sure he is the one?" The caller asks with a hoarse voice, trying to intimidate her.

"Yes, his face can\'t lie. Capture him and we will get five thousand mana coins." She answers with ill intent in her eyes.

"Yes, he won\'t be able to escape." After hearing his response, she puts the call down. At this moment, Peter was completely unaware of the danger he will face soon.

At this moment, Peter was carelessly leaving the city. He has various thoughts in his mind while he was walking out.

\'I haven\'t met Alice. But, it is a good thing. It won\'t be a good idea since I am going to leave soon. With, those materials, Anne can start her training. Unfortunately, that world doesn\'t have mana so I got no choice but to use Mana Crystals.\'

\'I need to find a way to store mana from mana crystal. Then, we can merge it with the stamina to produce internal energy. Once internal energy is produced, it can be merged with a human body and strengthen it.\'

\'It seems I need to call those friends back. After all, I can only choose trusted people for this job. But, am I doing it correctly by making her CEO? Well, it has to be her or me. Since the earth has no access to mana, I am going to use this as my benefit.\'

As Peter walked out of the city, he sensed some auras around him. He couldn\'t help but sigh.

\'This is going to be troublesome. They don\'t seem weak at all.\'

Peter rolled his eyes to the left and saw five people approaching him from that side. His eyes turned to the right and saw another group of five. He also sensed some people from behind.

\'Well, let\'s give it a shot. I can\'t reveal that I can teleport to floor zero.\'

Thinking so, Peter stopped. As soon as he stopped, those people got startled but still approached him since Peter didn\'t run back to the city. Well, he doesn\'t think that city will protect him knowing that he was wanted by Lucifer.

In no time, Peter got surrounded by fifteen of them. He looked at his right side and asked "Is that the information office which gave you my information?"

"Dying person doesn\'t need to know." One of them spoke as he took out a dagger. The blue mana flow from his hand and coats the black dagger.

\'It seems I need to use fake face whenever I approach the public place.\' Peter raised his eyes at the man sprinting towards him and thought to himself \'I hope I can still earn enough EXP by killing them.\'

He took the sword from inventory and condensed the flame around it. He pressed his foot on the ground and leaped on air. He swings his body and condensed the intense flames around the sword.

"Triple Moon Strikes!"

On air, he slashed his sword three times. Right slash, left slash, and the straight chop rushed towards the man. Seeing those attacks, his eyes shrunk. He didn\'t get notified of Peter\'s level. But, the thickness of mana condensed in this strike, and the sharpness of each strike made him pour an intense amount of blue mana into his dagger.

Bang! Bang! Boom!

He moved his dagger and tried to cut those flaming blades. Unfortunately, the last one still hits his chest and explodes. The man fall to the ground as his chest suffered terrible injuries.

"Damn! We make a wrong estimation. But, we still have numbers." One of them muttered with his hoarse voice and raised his hand.

"All of you, kill him together! Don\'t fight alone."

As soon as they heard those words, they immediately understood his intention and rushed towards Peter. Several different colors of mana bloomed around him. Different weapons appeared on their hands.

"Fiery Strike!"

"Silver Lance!"

"Hammer of Destruction!"

\'Well, this is going to be troublesome.\' Peter thought as he released his internal energy. Three points of internal energy infuses on his fist and strengthen his offense. At the same time, he activates two rings. In an instant, his strength and agility soared.

He pressed his leg on the ground and moved his body to the right, the closet one, only leaving the afterimage. He swings his hand and moved the hand holding the sword. This way he dodged the sword while he clenched his fist and punched.

Bang!

Before even others could react, he rushed to the second one and jumped. The lance went from below his lower body as he kicked on that man\'s face. This time he wasn\'t so lucky. Before he could make a move, a man holding a hammer smashed his head with that same hammer.

Bang!

Blood dripped his head but Peter didn\'t give a shit about that. He took a step back and smashed his neck with the elbow.

Bang! Bang!

Suddenly, two men rushed from their side and thrust their fists towards him. But, Peter was quick on his feet as he jumped up. He splits his legs and kicks their head. At this moment, his strength was 56 points which are equal to that of fifty-six human strengths combined.

Just a kick was able to dislocate their face bones.

\'Damn! Damn! Damn! We never got this information. He isn\'t a mere climber who just climbed up from floor zero. He must be above level ten otherwise it\'s impossible to be this strong.\' The one who commanded them freaked out when he saw Peter killing his men.

They weren\'t even putting up a fight for Peter. Of course, he didn\'t realize that Peter was boosting his strength with that ring item.

"It seems I must interfere." His eyes turned red as he spoke. Slowly, an armor surrounded his body. His armor was gray and he had a tail as well. But more importantly, he had long claws on his hands.

Roar! He pressed his foot on the ground and sprinted towards Peter with a roar. As soon as he reached near Peter, he raised his right claw and slashed. But, Peter caught him way ahead so he jumped towards the man.

For a moment, the man didn\'t understand why Peter was rushing towards him while showing his bare chest.

Bang! Crack! Crack!

Peter didn\'t let him attack his body. Although it was called armor, it only had the trustworthy chest plate. Except for the chest plate, arm and leg plates weren\'t strong. They could easily be broken. When the claw smashed on the chest and broke it into pieces, Peter caught his hand.

Five points of internal energy transformed into dominating force and infused in his hand. With all that dominating force, Peter punched in his stomach.

Bang! Crack! Splash!

The fist pierced the armor, breaking it into dust, and pierced the body. At this moment, that man had nothing but confusion on his face. He didn\'t understand why Peter was able to burst through his armor.

Currently, Peter\'s strength was above level thirteenth strength. Even though he was able to ten with the powerful wolf armor, he didn\'t know Peter\'s strength level. After level ten, the strength upgrade once again multiplies.

Peter didn\'t know that. He only knows that his current strength was almost double his true strength.. Unfortunately, Peter almost forgot that he was still bleeding and there were still few men left when he got engrossed by his own strength.
