Chapter 313
A huge amount of vitality began flowing into the blade causing the air around him to tremble from the force of the energy he was gathering. The sword grew brighter and brighter until its glow almost matched the moonlight above them.But Kratos pushed too far.The energy surged beyond what he could control. Causing his body to suddenly convulse.BzzzzKratos’s eyes widened as the power he had gathered rushed back through his body. He tried to stabilize it, but the attempt failed. His knees gave way, and he collapsed onto the ground, his sword slipping from his hand.“Kratos!” Kael shouted as he rushed toward him.Varyn and Rhys remained in position, but there was no time to stop and treat Kratos properly. The dragon had noticed the sudden weakness in their formation.Its head turned toward them.The creature opened its mouth again.“Oh shit!” Varyn cursed, fear finally entering his voice.Rhys, however, remained calm.He studied the dragon’s posture and saw exactly what it intended to

The dragon’s roar had barely disappeared into the night when Kael finally reached his limit. After using almost everything he had to protect the team from the dragon’s breath, he leaned against his staff, struggling to keep himself upright. His breathing came in short, uneven gasps, and his face had lost much of its color.“I need… a moment,” he muttered, barely loud enough for the others to hear.Rhys immediately nodded. He knew Kael needed the rest, even though the situation gave them very little time to recover. They had already been traveling for eighteen hours without a proper break, fighting monsters, crossing dangerous terrain, and dealing with one obstacle after another. Kael had spent most of that time supporting everyone with his magic, and the barrier against the dragon had finally emptied whatever energy he had left.That shield had been everything he could give them.After successfully blocking the dragon’s first breath attack, Kael simply had nothing left for another bat

After dealing with the wyverns, the group continued toward Mordok Village with the package still secured inside Varyn’s backpack. Their journey had been relatively peaceful so far, but none of them mistook that luck for safety. They all understood how quickly things could change on a floor like this, especially with dragons ruling the skies.Since they had a quiet stretch ahead of them, they used every minute wisely. Rhys kept them moving while the sunlight remained strong, knowing that darkness would arrive within a few hours and make their journey considerably harder. Their biggest enemy was not only the monsters. The seventy-two-hour limit was constantly hanging over them, and losing too much time could turn an otherwise manageable quest into a failure.The terrain became increasingly difficult as they pressed deeper into the floor. During the next twelve hours, they crossed one dangerous section after another, each obstacle testing their endurance and concentration. Some paths con

Rhys had hoped the wyverns were only interested in the dead centipede, but the moment they came within range, he realized he had been wrong.Instead of descending toward their prey, the wyverns suddenly became aggressive. All three focused on Varyn and began diving toward him at terrifying speed.“Ah, shit… protect Varyn!” Rhys shouted.He and Kratos reacted immediately. They moved together, raising their swords just as the first wyvern reached them. Their blades struck its talons in midair, deflecting the attack and forcing the creature to change direction.The collision produced a sharp metallic sound as steel met the wyvern’s scales, and the force of the impact traveled through their bodies and into the ground beneath their feet.Kael was slower to react, but he quickly recovered and raised both hands.A protective barrier formed around the group, its translucent surface expanding into a dome that enclosed them.“This should buy us some time!” Kael called out as he focused on maint

The team encountered their first real danger when they reached a narrow land bridge stretching across one of the enormous gorges. The crossing was little more than a strip of stone suspended between two cliffs, with steep drops on either side that disappeared into swirling mist far below.Taking this route would save them nearly forty minutes, which made it too valuable to ignore despite the obvious danger.The bridge was barely wide enough for one person at a time, so they had no choice but to move in single file. One careless step could send someone over the edge, and the jagged rocks hidden beneath the mist offered little hope of survival.As usual, Rhys took the lead while Kratos and the others followed closely behind.They proceeded carefully, their senses alert as the wind moved through the canyon and carried distant dragon roars toward them. Every sound reminded them that they were traveling through territory dominated by powerful flying beasts.When they reached the middle of
Chapter 308
Floor 23 of the Tower of Ascension belonged to the dragons. The entire floor had a rugged landscape that reminded Rhys of Earth’s Grand Canyon, with enormous cliffs, deep gorges, and winding valleys cutting through the land. In many places, the terrain was so broken that only narrow and dangerous paths connected one area to another, forcing travelers on foot to take long routes around obstacles that could have been crossed much faster by air.For creatures with wings, however, the landscape was almost ideal. Wyverns and dragons could simply spread their wings and cross the enormous gaps between the cliffs, while land-based travelers had to deal with the difficult terrain below. What could be crossed in minutes from the sky might require hours of climbing, descending, and searching for a safe route on the ground.Because of the nature of the floor, there were no traditional dungeons here. Instead, the quests issued by the administrator generally involved transporting valuable goods, ga
