Chapter 153 - New System Feature
After settling Snow and other beings that could be cultivated in the Elemental paradise he currently had, Ajax sat on his soft bed and opened the user interface to check the new system feature.
'Ding,
The new system feature 'Battle Hall' is unlocked. Use the System guide to know more about it.
"It has some cool name," Ajax used the system guide that comes whenever a new system feature is unlocked.
As soon as he used it, the information relating to the Battle Hall came to his head.
'Ding,
System feature:- Battle Tower (Level)
Description:- A place where the host can send his elemental spirits or spirit beasts and as well as himself to battle the monsters that are guarding a specific room.
Whenever a monster guarding the room is defeated, there is a small chance to learn one of its skills.
This Battle tower is mainly used for improving the battle experience of an individual.
Rewards:- A special reward will be given to the host whenever a level of the tower is cleared by himself or his team.
Note:- 1) Only an individual can participate at a time.
2) Once an individual who participated in clearing the Battle Tower dies, He/she will be teleported out of the Battle Tower.
3) Only one entry per month for an individual.
"Woah! I didn't see this coming," Ajax didn't expect the new system feature would be related to improving his battle skills.
He carefully read the lengthy description not to miss any important point.
"Hmm," Ajax quickly understood the working of the 'battle tower' system feature.
He already knew about the 'Battle Tower.'
As it was a standard training artifact in every main family and the sect to increase their young elites battle techniques and battle experience.
So, already pretty much related this feature to it.
However, when compared to other Battle towers, his battle tower has two main advantages.
The first advantage was, it had a small chance to impart a battle skill of the monster of a specific room after it was defeated.
The second advantage was, For every level of the tower he cleared, he would be bestowed a reward by the system.
Although the sects and the main families also give rewards for those who completed a specific level, how could their rewards be compared with the Almighty system?
"System, how many levels are there in total and the number of rooms per each level," Ajax asked as he didn't know about his Battle Tower.
'Ding,
In level 1, it has ten rooms.
'Ding,
The host needs to improve his strength to know about the number of levels in the Battle Tower.
"Oh Almighty system, can't you just say it," he asked the system, but he got no reply from the system.
Ajax shook his head and stopped pleading.
'I think this system has some motive behind his every action,' Ajax thought as he pondered about all the system features he was getting lately.
For example, the follower tab was to increase his followers as though it was preparing me for something in the future.
And Quest tab forced him to learn Alchemy.
'I wonder, how did I get this system?' this question always lingered in his head.
He asked system about its origins many times, but the reply he always got was,
'Ding,
The host's strength is still not sufficient.
Please improve your strength to know about the system.
So, after getting no useful information from the system, he stopped bothering about its origins.
"Should I try the first room of the Battle Tower level?" but quickly, he changed his mind to take some rest before challenging the Battle Tower.
As he was dead tired from the past few days (But in reality it's only 10 hours) he wanted to sleep on his comfortable bed which he missed for a while.
He went through a lot in the Five elemental world, which made him tired, and he just wanted to take a good rest for this night.
"Instead, I can send one of the spirit beasts or elemental spirits" As he rested on the bed, he thought of an idea to send someone to test the waters in the Battle Tower.
'Who should I send,' Ajax didn't think much as he directly selected his present strongest elemental spirit 'Volcanis' who had the cultivation strength of the level 8 Elemental spirit commander.
"System, I want to use the new system feature 'Battle Tower,'" he asked the system after settling in his comfortable bed.
'Ding,
Activating the Battle Tower
'Ding,
Please select a participant.
Two system notifications chimed in his head as the information appeared in front of his eyes on a holographic screen.
"I select Volcanis," Ajax replied while stretching his body as though he was stopping his sleep.
'Ding,
Fire elemental spirit Volcanis will be transported to the Level 1 of the Battle Tower.
'Ding,
Host, do you want to watch the fight between your elemental spirit and the monster guarding the room in level 1 of the tower?
"I can watch? Let me see it then," His previous tiredness was gone as he wanted to watch the battle before going to sleep.
Soon a holographic screen appeared in front of him.
On the screen, Ajax looked at the Volcanis, who was opening a massive door that looked large and sturdy.
Ajax already explained Volcanis about the battle tower.
As he learned about the Battle Tower, Volcanis interest piqued as he thirsted for strength and wanted to improve his battle techniques and skills, so that he could help his master in the future.
After what happened in the five elemental world, everyone, including both spirit beasts and elemental spirits thirst for strength, has improved.
Especially Volcanis, who had a very proud bearing around him, wanted nothing but power and should not escape from an enemy with a tail between his legs.
As soon as he opened the doors, Ajax was awed by the environment inside the room.
The entire ground in the room was covered by mud with sharp spiky rocks pointed out from the mud.
Amidst the muddy ground and spiky stones, a colossal monster looked like a boar with a long, blunt snout, small eyes, and two sharp tusks that were extremely black.
Its entire body was covered by a thick hide, which made it look like it was wearing some armor.
