Chapter 145: Tower of the Void
Seeing the notification, Noan frowned. He knew well that within Vylyss's body, there existed three distinct types of energy: one pink, one black, and another white.
After seeing this system notification, Noan realized each type of energy represented a different soul.
Although the System indicated that collecting all three souls would unlock Vylyss's hidden potential, this wasn't particularly important to him.
After all, he possessed the innate talent of Almighty Fusion; even without activating Vylyss's hidden potential, he could still significantly strengthen her by relying solely on his talent.
Moreover, he didn't know exactly what would happen once the three souls were gathered.
Would Vylyss's personality change?
Would she be exposed to any danger?
Because of this uncertainty, Noan didn't pay much attention to finding the remaining two souls.
"It seems this Class isn't particularly useful aside from letting me hear or encounter strange entities trapped in some unknown place."
Noan sighed and shook his head, feeling disappointed. Despite all his efforts to obtain a Mythical Class, it provided no immediate benefit.
At that moment, his eyes fell upon the Mythical Challenge Chest, hoping it would contain more practical rewards.
"System, can I leave now?"
[Ding! You may exit. Please wait a moment.]
Immediately afterward, Noan reappeared within his territory. Vylyss appeared beside him, looking at him with confusion.
Noan also observed her as though trying to detect any subtle changes.
However, Vylyss seemed just the same as always, completely unchanged. Yet, Noan still couldn't shake off the uneasiness lingering within him.
"I hope I'm just being overly cautious," he sighed softly, murmuring to himself.
Hearing this, Vylyss tilted her head and asked curiously, "Master, what are you talking about?"
"No!" Noan quickly shook his head and asked urgently, "Vylyss, when we separated earlier, where did you go?"
"Huh?!" Vylyss looked at him in confusion. "Master, after clearing the ninth floor, weren't we immediately teleported back here?"
Noan was slightly startled by her response, inwardly suspecting that perhaps Vylyss's memory after clearing the ninth floor had been erased.
He didn't ask further since he knew Vylyss wouldn't harm him, and naturally, he genuinely trusted her.
Feeling uncertain, Noan asked cautiously, "Vylyss, do you feel anything strange within your body?"
Hearing Noan's question, Vylyss's face suddenly turned red. She stepped closer to him and playfully whispered, "Master, why don't you check for yourself?"
Noan: "..."
"All right, you go rest now. I need some quiet time," Noan quickly replied.
"Master, wouldn't it be much more enjoyable if we rested together?" Vylyss smiled seductively.
Hearing that, Noan could only nod helplessly, knowing she wouldn't easily let him off.
…
That night, after an intense battle, Noan lay exhausted on his bed, staring out the window.
At that moment, he opened his status panel and gazed at the chest glowing with five-colored radiance in his Storage Space. He immediately commanded, "Open chest."
[Ding! You have successfully opened the Mythical Class Chest. You have received the following items:
Mythical Support-Class Outfit Random Innate Talent Card – Rank SS+ Troop Quantity Multiplier Card x5 (effective up to a maximum of 50 troops each) Hero Evolution Card x2 (usable on heroes rank D or below) Energy Crystals: Rank F x50,000; Rank E x20,000; Rank D x5,000; Rank C x1,000; Rank B x100; Rank A x10; Rank S x1 Auction Coupon: 99% discount in the Auction Hall of the Chaotic World (single-use only) Territory Blueprint – Tower of the Void.]
Seeing the rewards from the chest, Noan immediately felt cheerful once again.
The fact that the Mythical Class hadn't offered him any significant new abilities was quickly thrown to the back of Noan's mind.
He didn't immediately use the troop quantity multiplier card. After all, this card was limited in number but not in troop rank. Thus, he held onto it until his troops had achieved higher ranks.
He imagined himself possessing 50 rank-S troops. Using one multiplier card, he would instantly have 150 rank-SS soldiers. Then, by employing his innate talent, 'Almighty Fusion,' he could combine them into 50 rank-SS+ soldiers.
Fifty rank-SS+ troops would be an overwhelmingly powerful force capable of sweeping through any empire.
By then, even if his innate talent were revealed, he wouldn't need to worry because he already possessed sufficient strength to defend himself.
For lower-ranked Lords, a troop multiplier card wasn't particularly meaningful. But for high-ranked Lords, especially those at ranks C or even ranks A and S, such a card was something they'd fight to the death to obtain.
Right now, Noan didn't just have one multiplier card—he had five of them.
Next was the Hero Evolution card. Noan didn't intend to use it immediately, either.
After all, he could utilize his innate talent, 'Almighty Fusion', to create higher-ranked heroes, rendering this card nearly redundant.
No, perhaps not entirely.
He planned to save this card until one of his heroes reached an exceptionally high rank, requiring immense resources to evolve further. At that point, he would use the Hero Evolution card.
Thus, Noan decided not to immediately use either the 'Troop Quantity Multiplier Card' or the 'Hero Evolution Card'.
His eyes then focused on the Mythical outfit explicitly meant for his Class.
…
Name: Mythical Outfit for Whisper
Status: Severely damaged
Rank: ???
Description: You can transform into any clothing style you desire. Usually, it forms an energy shield around your body to prevent death once (Cooldown: 3 days).
…
Seeing the description, Noan felt quite pleased. Although it didn't have many uses, it still provided him a chance to prevent death. Moreover, this life-saving effect could be reused every three days.
Gradually, the number of defensive trump cards he possessed increased. Now, he only lacked a reliable way to escape from danger.
Although his innate Spatial Talent allowed him to teleport away, he could only teleport up to 5,000 meters at most with his current energy capacity.
Even if he managed to teleport farther in the future, what if his enemy could predict exactly where he would appear next?
Just like during his battle on the 10th floor, Kotarok had precisely known the position where he would teleport. Thus, Noan had been forced to teleport repeatedly until his energy was entirely depleted.
Fortunately, he possessed the innate talent of Immortal and the Abyss Cube; otherwise, he would likely have died there.
Noan tested the Mythical Outfit by turning it into a pair of gloves. Indeed, it could shapeshift similarly to the Abyss Cube.
However... it didn't have the Abyss Cube's special effects, so Noan didn't plan on using it as actual clothing. Instead, he transformed it into an energy barrier around his body. This way, the outfit's special effect would still protect him even if he were attacked in his sleep or caught off guard.
Furthermore, since the outfit was currently in a "Severely Damaged" state, he was certain additional functions would be unlocked if he managed to repair it in the future.
However, he wasn't in a hurry. For now, he felt sufficiently safe.
After two upgrades, his territory also possessed a protective dome, which could withstand a full-force attack from a rank B level-5 monster.
At this moment, Noan's attention shifted toward the new territory blueprint—the Tower of the Void.
He attempted to select the Tower of the Void, but a system notification quickly appeared.
[Ding! You cannot build your territory according to this blueprint because your current territory has already been built using a different architectural style.]
Noan frowned upon seeing this message. However, suddenly recalling something, he quickly selected the option again.
[Ding! Do you wish to replace your "Apocalypse Bunker" with the "Tower of the Void"?]
"As expected..."
What do you think?
