World’s Fastest Level up! - Chapter 87

Chapter 87 – The Fourth Floor – 『Dead Beast Jewel』⓪

As I stepped inside the fourth floor, the scene that spread in front of me made me doubt my eyes.

“What on earth is this…?”

First of all, there was a 1-meter high pedestal with four circular depressions as if made to insert something inside.

However, the pedestal wasn’t something that made me surprised. But the unrealistic scene that spread beyond the pedestal.

An area with 50 meters in width and about 300 meters in length with hundreds or even thousands of magic attacks going back and forth on such a vast straight path. Although I can’t see clearly because of the distance, it looks like there was no magic beyond that.

Flame Vortex, Ice Spear, Lightning Strike, and Kamaitachi. Each one of those magic had the power to easily destroy the human body.

“Although this scene alone is already abnormal, there is another problem.”

Then, I turn my sight to the left and right. There were a total of four huge gates, two on the right and two on the left with magic power of an abnormal density leaking from the inside. It was an aura that draws a line, no, two, or even three lines from the enemies I have fought so far.

“The atmosphere is clearly different from the third floor below….! What the hell I will be made to do here?”

Just when such a question appeared in my mind, the sound of the system reverberated.

『The quest for the fourth floor is 【Dead Beast Jewel】. Please break through the wall of magics and reach the objective.』

”
”
『In each of the four rooms on the fourth floor exists Dead Beast of Fire, Dead Beast of Ice, Dead Beast of Lightning, and Dead Beast of Wind which protected their own jewel. By plundering the jewels and inserting it into the dent in the pedestal, the activation of magic with the same attribute of the jewel will be stopped.』

『Recommended level to subjugate the Dead Beast is 50.000』

『Only in this quest subject is allowed to retire in the middle of the quest. However, if retire is chosen, the subject will never be able to challenge the Isolated Demon Tower again.』

The sound of the system finished after telling some ridiculous things to me.

“Wait, did it say 50,000 just now?!”

Spontaneously, I asked. But of course there was no response. Then, I slowly took a deep breath.

“Let’s calm down and analyze the current situation. According to the explanation of the quest, I don’t actually have to defeat the four dead beasts. All I have to do is take the jewel that those beasts protected, right…against such level 50,000 monsters? Isn’t it impossible?”

Even after my statuses were raised due to the effect of the Nameless Sword, the difference was still about five times. It was also unclear whether [Stealth] works against beast-type monsters which means, the success rate was relatively low.

“No, the sound of the system didn’t say that I must take the jewels. The condition for clearing the quest is just to reach the objective point. In other words, if I could endure this wall of magics, I should be able to clear the quest! Yes, as long as this wall of magics…”

I took one magic stone from the [Item Box] and threw it into the wall of magics. And as a result of being swallowed by the sea of magic, it shattered into pieces in less than a second.

“Un, it’s impossible!”

I don’t want to boast, but my magic resistance was quite low. Even if I have the Demon Wolves Ring (True), it produces little effect in this situation.

This means, I have only one option left.

“….. I can retire in this quest.”

The option to retire which was previously only available before challenging the next floor could be selected during the quest on this floor. From there, I made one hypothesis that the quest wasn’t meant to be cleared to begin with.

In other words, the sound of the system implied to ‘give up and retire here’ as there was no other option.

I’m sure that advice is correct. The current me doesn’t have the ability to protect my self from the monsters that surpassed level 50,000 nor the ability to endure the powerful wall of magics.

Thus, giving up like what the sound of the system advised might be the correct answer.

However,

“I have vowed,”

I remembered my fight against the Nameless Knight. In front of such a formidable enemy that was far superior to me, I thought.

I don’t need the ‘correct’ answer.

Even if it’s foolish, I should keep moving forward according to my own will.

–That’s why, for such me, the word ‘give up’ was not suited!

“I’ll do it.”

Even if this quest was something that was prepared to kill me. I possess no legs to turn back!

That’s why I am–right now, will challenge the biggest challenge in history!

“I will be the one to clear this quest– as the fastest in the world!”

◇◆◇

『The fourth floor – Quest 【Dead Beast Jewel】 has been cleared』

『The fourth floor capture reward – Level has increased by 200』

“Yay!”

Approximately 300 seconds later, as a result of using [Transfer Within Dungeon], I safely transferred to the other side of the wall of magics.

Although I felt that the sound of the system seemingly lost its vigor when announced that, I’m sure it was just my imagination.

Un, let’s leave it like that!

In this manner, I broke through the fourth floor.

『Total level-up in 【Isolated Demon Tower】: 787 Levels』(At the end of the fourth floor)
