Chapter 200: Increasing strength!

Quest Completed: Nasty Contestant Killer

Rewards Obtained: 3 Floor Skip Crystal

Advance Guide notified Whittaker who was surprised to see that the quest still hasn't disappeared. The quest Nasty Contestant Killer was shown as active in his status even though he had completed it.

"What? Advance guide, is this quest repeatable? Will I get rewarded by Floor Skip Crystal once again if I hunt down contestant killers in the Grand Canyon?!!!" Whittaker asked to clear his confusion.

He thought that maybe it's a malfunction caused by the Advance Guide. And if it isn't then it's very happy news for him.

To both your questions, it's a Yes. The quest can be repeated endlessly. As long as contestant killers exist, the Rulers of the Monster Tower can hunt them down to earn the rewards listed in the quest description Advance guide said in a gentle feminine tone.

The tower spirit had enough. The contestant killers had repeatedly disregarded the Rules of the tower and this had annoyed him to his wit's end. Hence, he had ordered this quest to every ruler and made it repeatable.

However, unlike Whittaker, most rulers were not exactly interested in this quest. The rewards were pretty casual, after all.

The Floor Skip crystals were only a treasure in Whittaker's eyes but not the others. As for the Ruler coins, the Rulers of the tower earn more through "Plenary Quests" than completing this newly issued quest. 

Hearing her words, a thoughtful look appeared on Whittaker's youthful face.

'Every time I complete the quest, I'll get Floor Skip Crystal. I'll need 21 Floor Skip crystal to reach the 31st floor. In total, I just need to complete this quest 6 more times and I'll have enough Floor Skip crystal to reach the 31st floor.' Whittaker calculated the number of times he'll need to complete the repeatable contestant killer quest before he has enough floor skip crystal to reach the 31st floor.

Then he focused his attention on Advance Guide.

"Previously, I had to kill 3 D-ranked contestant killers to complete the quest. From my calculation, I believe that to complete the quest, I need to kill 10 F-ranked contestant killers or 5 E-ranked contestant killers or three D-ranked contestant killers or 2 C-ranked contestant killer, or a single B-ranked contestant killer. Am I right, advance guide?" Whittaker asked the ball floating beside him.

Yes, it's as you think Advance Guide replied before silence took over.

"There are bound to be more contestant killers inside the Grand Canyon. I will head deeper inside the canyon after absorbing the mana and battle light of the contestant killers I just killed," Whittaker said before picking up the equipment from the ground.

He stored the pieces of equipment in his spatial ring, and he then began to absorb the glittering blue Mana Light and glittering golden Battle Lights.

D-rank Mana Light (9-star)

[Description: Mana Light obtained by killing the peak D-rank mage, Logan

Effect: Increase the length of the mana pool by 200]

D-rank Battle Light (7-star)

[Description: Battle Light obtained by killing D-rank battle Master, Ragna.

Effect: Increase battle energy by 5 points]

D-rank Battle Lights (9-star)

[Description: Battle Lights obtained by killing D-rank battle Masters, Eliot and Ragna.

Effect: Increase battle energy by 5.5 points]

As the mana light went inside his body, it transformed into waves of energy that went into his mana pool and began to upgrade it.

Ding! The Guardian has successfully absorbed Logan's Mana Light

[Length of mana pool increased: 21002300. Mana in the mana pool: 1600/2300. Mana in Mana Devouring Hair 100/100. Total mana: 1700] Noah notified Whittaker who was beaming a happy smile.

'The size of my mana pool has increased pretty rapidly ever since I came to the Monster Tower, this place is simply a treasure trove.' 

As he thought, an intelligent light flickered in his eyes.

"I guess this is the very reason why many contestants kill other contestants. In the awakened continent, increasing the length of the mana pool is costly and solely depends on how much rich a person is. However, in the monster tower, a constant can easily increase his mana pool by absorbing mana light which is obtainable through killing floor bosses and contestants." Whittaker said under his breath.

In the awakened continent, everyone needs to use spirit flowers or treasures with similar treasures to increase the length of their mana pool. However, the monster tower defies this universal rule. The existence of Mana Light was the same as heaven defying treasure. And it is one of the reasons why many contestants go down the wrong path of killing their own race.

Contestant killers believe that killing other contestants is an interesting, faster, and easier way to increase the length of their mana pool and become powerful. That's one of the reasons why they kill other contestants nonstop.

Opening his mouth, Whittaker absorbed the two battle lights at the same time.

Ding! The Guardian has absorbed the battle light of Ragna and Eliot

The Guardian has gained 10.5 Units of Battle energy

[Battle energy increased: 37.548]

"Now, I am just 2 battle energy away from becoming a D-rank battle master. The main problem is that I need to mediate the for weeks before I can increase my units of mana to 3001 points." Whittaker said.

In the past few weeks, he had opened fifty of his blood vessels and energy pathways by using the opening Elixirs and also physical training to absorb its effect. He had received these Low-level Blood vessels and energy pathways opening Elixirs (3-stars) by completing Elder Zachary's initial trial. 

He still had some left and he could use to open the rest of his blood vessels and energy pathways. Reaching D-rank battle master in a few days wasn't a pipe dream but the same couldn't be said for a mage.

He could increase his mana pool endlessly but even then he won't reach D-rank mage.

'As a mage, I need to meditate for hours to increase the suction force of my mana seed. Only by increasing the suction force of the mana seed can a mage hope to increase the total amount of mana in his mana pool,' Whittaker thought before he crossed the gorge and ventured into the Grand Canyon!
