Altair had slipped the knee guards directly onto his knees and then stood up to test how comfortable they were.They were quite comfortable.Although made of a metal as hard as adamantium, they were strangely flexible.It was quite clear that they were a very good pair of small armour pieces.When the young man sat back down on the floor, he waited a little longer.He really didn’t want to move from where he was, so staying put was his best option.He kept thinking about what had happened, and eventually, after a long while, a door and a gate opened up before him.[Please forgive us, Mr Altair Moon.It appears there has been an issue within the system. Based on our research and checks, such a floor should not exist.You will be considered to have successfully passed the twenty-first floor.If you wish, you may proceed directly to the next floor.We would like to apologise for our oversight and are presenting you with this gift.]Altair was still trying to read the system window when,

As he levelled up, the young man realised his mana had reached its peak, and without a moment’s hesitation, he unleashed his ability:“Funeral Bell of Letum!”The moment Altair spoke the spell’s name, the surroundings began to shift.As darkness began to spread, the young man planted his feet firmly on the ground and lunged forward.At that moment, he activated the ‘wave’ ability he had only just acquired.As he did so, a five-metre-wide wave of fire began to advance towards the High-Demon standing closest to him.With a single swing of his sword, the High-Demon sliced the wave of fire in two.The curse emitted by the Funeral Bell of Letum had clung directly to the High-Demon in the south, turning the High-Demon’s throat pitch black.Whilst the demons struggling with the fire around them could barely move due to the Funeral Bell of Letum, Altair simply continued to move.The moment he leapt upon the High-Demon, who had split the wave of fire in two, he sensed a massive surge of mana f

He wanted to rest for a while before passing through the Altair Gate.Even if he wasn’t physically tired, he knew that taking a breather and resting for a while was good for the body.After catching his breath for a while, he realised it was time to move on and got to his feet.He could now proceed towards the twenty-third floor.However, just as he was about to do so, a system window appeared before him:[The rewards for levelling up consecutively and clearing the 23rd floor have been combined, and the system has deemed you worthy of a suitable reward.The user has earned four ‘Skill Enhancement Stones’.]When Altair looked at this reward, he didn’t know what to say.“Four skill enhancement stones,” the young man said, beginning to ponder to himself.[You serious? That’s very rare, you know? And you’ve got three of them. That sounds very good.]Upon receiving a message from Aether, Altair curled his lip. Although Aether’s apparent excitement pleased him, he didn’t know which skills t
