Chapter 453 - Reaching The Last Floor Of The Tower Of Refinement



Just at the point of perceiving the feeling of superimposing the three weapon energies through 'Fusion', I couldn't help but rush my elements into the stream as well, performing the elemental weapon techniques that I have stacked till this point…

[ Your 'Vital Accuracy Swordsmanship' has leveled up! ]

​​

[ Your 'Wind Swordsmanship' has leveled up! ]

[ Your 'Lightning Swordsmanship' has… ]

[ Your 'Thunder sword… ]

[ … ]

'It finally broke!'

The effect was simply miraculous, the barrier that had been stopping me from advancing for the whole last month simply melted away. Just elevating the influence of my sword energy managed to elevate my understanding of the techniques along with it!

Aside from 'Darkness Swordsmanship' which hasn't even been pushed to the limit yet as I acquired it recently, the rest of my 'Swordsmanship' techniques jumped directly into the advanced rank!

'This is simply too great!' 

Despite focusing all my attention on the breakthrough of my techniques, I couldn't simply ignore the strength aspect either. After all, even though it was just the addition of one more type of weapon energy, the intensity almost doubled from the original fusion state.

In fact, even the system's evaluation didn't deny this point…

[ - 'Sword Energy (SS)' ]

According to it, the core weapon energy in the fusion state was already the same as that of a peak sword dominator, at least in quality alone.

As for quantity…

'Nothing is perfect after all.'

Originally, the one part I was most confident in was energy quantity thanks to the support of the 'Unification' and the base of 5 different energy weapons, but the consumption in energy in the 'Fusion' state was just as overwhelming as its increase in power!

Of course, that was already great, it was meant to be a type of 'Burst' ability, and while it wouldn't last that long, my energy reserve could at least last long enough for a crucial battle.

'Most importantly, now that it's this effective…'

Having quickly analyzed the advantages and shortcomings of 'Fusion', I couldn't wait any longer as I already deactivated it, before switching into spear energy, but...

'It doesn't work…?'

Slight disappointment couldn't help but surface in my mind as I didn't manage to feel the momentary epiphany this time, making it impossible to break the door to the advanced grade for spear techniques in one go just like I did with sword ones.

However, such disappointment didn't last long. After all, 'Fusion' did still have a positive effect on weapon technique training, not to mention that I was already very close to achieving a breakthrough just by relying on the effect of 'Darkness Unity'.

Moreover, the most important point was that one of my powers could achieve peak strength even if it's for a short time, making it even more possible for me to participate in the main battles that I could only support from behind back then in the Nature Domain!

Of course, the peak strength that I could perform wouldn't compare to that of those practitioners who stayed on that 'peak' for years, considering both battle experience and depth of weapon understanding, but I wasn't just a weapon practitioner either!

Though just as underdeveloped as my weapon abilities, my elemental control abilities could also place me at the peak among elemental practitioners, even if not in a very high position, not to mention that I was almost done carving my fifth flow channel!

'Alright, let's quickly finish the last two tasks I have so I can get out of here…'

Suppressing my feeling of confidence so that I wouldn't lose my cautiousness nor grow arrogant, I directly went into the Tower of Refinement to finish off one more floor before the time of my rest came…

`~~`~~`~~`

Two days later…

"Meow!"

"Sorry Light, rest time is over, I need to finish this quickly so we can leave this place at last…"

Looking at little Light who gave such a 'life-threatening' pitiful look, I almost faltered under his 'puppy eyes'.

However, with how gloomy this whole place was, I was still able to resist chilling out with Light. Such quality time deserved to be spent in a more refreshing place.

'This shouldn't take long…'

Aside from a slight change in the amount of time spent on weapon technique training, my routine was more or less the same for the last two days. Despite that, the results were still much more impressive than the last whole week!

Other than completing another elemental flow channel, all my weapon techniques had already managed to reach the advanced grade. Naturally, that didn't include 'Darkness Unity', but even then, it had already reached level 9 of the intermediate grade, it wouldn't take long before it followed its 'Colleagues'.

Thanks to the wondrous effect of 'Fusion' coupled with the battle pressure produced in the Tower of Refinement, I was able to achieve progress very smoothly.

Considering everything to this point, and having already cleared the ninth floor of the tower, I was only one floor away from completing my preliminary task, all that would be left would be to dash towards that hateful demon and finally leave this space.

'Well, he doesn't really seem that hateful at this point tho…'

The gains that I have managed to obtain from falling into this trap couldn't even be summarized as a 'Blessing in disguise', it was obviously much more than just that. If I didn't have to suffer so much at the very beginning, perhaps I could even consider being slightly lenient on him…

'Well, I could try going lighter at him depending on his attitude…'

Putting my mocking thoughts aside, I directly stepped into the tower as I readied my dual swords. I was definitely looking forward to 'butchering' the last obstacle that stood between me and complete purification!

So far, despite being only one floor away, only slightly more than half the Darkness Cell has been purified, it seemed like that only by clearing the last floor would the true effect of the tower be shown...
