[Processing…]

Viktor inhaled through his teeth. He knew that the credit he received would be cut. Even though his main goal wasn’t seeking rewards, still, he still didn’t expect to get only 1,000 spirit stones.

In total Viktor has 32,000 spirit stones credits, including the rewards he received when completing the level 30 Challenge Quest in the previous Pillar. Viktor accesses the [Store] first before entering the second hall to start the Quest Challenge.

He spent all his credits on buying various items. In total there were 9 tier 2 weapons with the criteria of the heaviest and cheapest._-.

After getting what he needed, Viktor went to the corner of the practice room to find a quiet and quiet place. Then he took out all the items he had just bought from the storage ring.

“I didn’t get any new skills after raising the Core of Anvil to 6th stage. Let’s see, how much effect it has on my skills.”

[Metal Tempering]

[You have successfully tempered tier 2 material with excellent quality.]

A smile appeared on Viktor’s lips after seeing the results of metal tempering. With his stage 6 Core, he can increase the metal 60% stronger.

Then Viktor began to forge one by one.

Beads of sweat started to appear from his forehead. It’s been about 1 hour for Viktor to do [Metal Tempering]. A lot of energy flowed out of his body, but Viktor’s condition was far from exhausted.

[You have successfully tempered tier 2 material with excellent quality.]

“This should be enough.” Viktor’s face lit up, he couldn’t wait.

All the equipment was put together in Viktor’s hands. Then he closed his eyes.

[Metal Fusion]

Energy flows from within his body, then out onto the surface of the skin of the hand. Slowly, the pile of metal items in Viktor’s hands coalesced and became a kind of liquid.

<Seems like something is going to get really strong>

After hearing the Djinn’s words in his head, Viktor opened his eyes and then started to circulate energy throughout his body. Slowly, the liquid that was in his hands propagated along with the flow of energy. Not long after, Viktor’s entire body was covered by metal.

[You have completed a metal fusion.]

[Your body has been strengthened.]

[You have received 30 points in battle power]

[Strength – 79 (109)]

[Agility – 120 (150)]

[Endurance – 78 (108)]

[Battle Power – 86 (116)]

Still, with the model, and signature of the metal guardian, silver and gold, but His body felt much more powerful than before

Swooosh!

Viktor darted to and fro in his new armor. Then try to apply the [North Fist] movement to see how big the effect was.

While Viktor was busy trying out the power of his new armor, suddenly a female voice sounded.

“Metal Guardians!”

Immediately Viktor stopped his action. He turned towards the voice, saw a familiar figure coming from the corridor.

“Anna—!”

Too excited about his new armor, Viktor forgot to change his tone of voice. Immediately he pretended to cough, as if something was bothering his throat.

“What’s the matter, Anna?” This time his voice turned heavy.

While Anna herself seemed to raise her eyebrows. He was surprised by the change in voice just now. But on second thought, he thought he heard wrong.

“The others are ready for the level 31 challenge. Everyone is waiting.”

“Okay.”

Viktor and Anna headed to the second hall level 31. The people were ready for battle, as could be seen on their excited faces. Some were seen stretching, some were warming up by swinging their weapons. But not a few also calm down joking with others.

Their attention was diverted after the arrival of Viktor in his armor form.

“Metal Guardians?”

“The commander has arrived. Time for us to fight!”

The recruits seemed even more excited, coupled with the appearance of the Metal Guardian, they were sure that there would be something special this time. They couldn’t wait to fight the monsters at level 31..

Viktor who saw the confidence of the recruits smiled with satisfaction from behind the mask. Then he walked through the crowd, towards the gate at the end of the hall. Behind the gate was the third hall, the nest of level 31 pillar monsters.

Viktor opened the gate and entered the next hall, as did the other 1000 recruits.

After everyone had entered the third hall, the gate closed. The atmosphere became quiet. There was no sound other than their breathing.

Not long after, the ground they were standing on shook. Even the dust to jump. Only one or two people feel it.

“Hey, you feel the shaking?” asked one of the recruits.

“No.”

The longer it takes, the stronger the shock. The people exchanged glances and gripped their guns tightly. Their faces began to stiffen. Some held their breath. They could feel the presence of monsters, but could not see them.

A few moments later, from the end of the hall appeared the figure of a monster with a human-like stature.

Their bodies were large and tall, at least five times the size of a human body. His entire body has black hair, except for the legs and arms. They have a large head with a broad chest. His arms were long, almost touching his knees. Even their short legs were 5 meters high.

[Cave Troll – pillar monster – level 70]

[Battlepower 76]

“Monsters are coming! Everyone get ready!” cried Anna. Instantly the people began to prepare for battle.

If it was estimated, their number reaches 150. Even so, the recruits were still nervous, as this was their first time facing a giant.

“Formation form!”

Then the recruits began to divide the formation into five groups. One group advanced first to face the monsters, after feeling overwhelmed, they swapped positions with the other group.

And so on until all the trolls have been wiped out. But reality doesn’t go according to plan.

The recruits seemed to have a hard time dealing with the Trolls’ rampage. They require extra force to injure the troll’s tough, thick skin. Meanwhile, the trolls simply swung their arms and damaged the formation’s defensive line.

“Change!”

Rotating group. Those in the front row retreated, being replaced by the second row.

Bang! Bang!

“Arrrrgh!”

After watching the recruits fight for a while, Viktor decided to jump in.

Swoooh!

A flash of black shadow shot past at high speed.

Splat! Splat!

Viktor fearlessly fought in the midst of dozens of trolls alone. His two ax-wielding hands swung and killed the giant monsters. Every time the swing of the ax hit the trolls’ skin, their body parts were sliced ​​open and tens of liters of blood gushed out.

Anna who saw the Metal Guardian figure fighting a troll alone looked surprised, her mouth wide open. Likewise with the recruits who were fighting on the front lines.

“Is he really a Sky Realm?”

For the size of the Sky Realm, Viktor’s strength could be almost equal to that of a Saint Realm. Even Anna, who was a Sky Realm, didn’t have enough courage to fight dozens of Trolls on her own.

Seeing Viktor fighting valiantly, the recruits’ combat morale started to burn again.

“Captain Anna, give us orders!” cried one of the recruits behind him.

Anna finally wakes up after being amazed by Viktor’s greatness. Then he looked at the recruits, his face looking more and more eager to fight.

The Head of the Golden Rose immediately understood what order to give. “All attack! Put up what you have!”

“AAAAAARGGH!”

A thousand people instantly charged at the trolls herd, there was no longer any doubt in their hearts.

“Aaarggggj!”

The trolls roared in pain, as dozens of humans slashed through their bodies repeatedly.

The entire hall was flooded with Troll corpses, Within thirty minutes, 150 cave trolls destroy to pieces

After defeating the cave trolls, they continued their journey through the corridors and went up to level 32.

Viktor actually wanted to go back to the camp to recover those injured from the battle against the trolls. But their spirit was still burning.

“Metal Guardian, we are still strong!”

“We are still able to continue fighting.”

Hearing their excited voices, Viktor finally complied with their request. They continued their journey up the pillar.

During climbing levels 32 to 39 there were no significant problems. The recruits fought bravely, Anna also began to give instructions to attack more aggressively.

But when they got to the 40th floor, the recruits started to face difficulties. They were up against a Mountain Troll who was twice as big and tall as the Cave Troll. But in the end they managed to beat them with numbers. Of course, Viktor’s role as the spearhead as well as the morale of the fighter was very influential.

Viktor along with the 1000 recruits continued to climb the pillars, every monster they encountered was wiped out. There were no words of fear and defeat in their minds. Around 800 recruits reached the Sky Realm stage. They level up quickly.

But not so with Viktor. Every time he completes a level he only gets one or two spirit forces. Even after breaking through 20 levels, Viktor got 35 spirit force.

Without realizing it, they had been in the pillar for two weeks and reached level 50.
