After checking through his information, the young man notices the growth of stats that cannot be achieved in a single day otherwise, the fact that he can easily raise his stats through the help of the Evil Fang Sword absorbing his enemy's blood making him appreciate the weapon more and more.

 

"Now I only need to worry about hunting, I don't even need to deliberately raise my stats now…" knowing that these are just low-level monsters that can be found anywhere in the second floor, the young man starts becoming certain that he will hit the stats limit for the second floor in no time as he starts hunting more and more powerful creatures as he is fairly certain that this sort of improvements from absorbing the life essence of the monster he hunted will increase the greater the quality of the monster, this speculation making him unable to wait hunting greater monsters anymore.

 

"I really need to bring all these things to the city first…" looking at all the fallen monsters in the vicinity, most of them drained of their blood, Azrael couldn't help but smile wryly, thinking that he might have gone quite overkill on dealing with these monsters.

 

"Damn, why is the storage not accepting these carcasses though?" having this problem ever since he entered the tower, Azrael still couldn't help but wonder why is it that the guide's storage system just won't allow any carcass inside, and the only things that can be placed inside are the rewards directly granted by the tower to him.

 

"Such wastes…" looking in pity at the possible money that he can earn from all these monster carcasses, the young man couldn't help but shake his head in pity, knowing that he can only leave these things behind since his leather bag is already full, and there's nothing more he can use to store all these things.

 

After finally steeling his resolve to leave all this money behind, the young man then proceeds to walk away, moving towards the direction of the city with an absurd speed as he leaps from tree to tree, his movements not even making the branch shake despite the heavy load he is carrying on his back.

"I see, so he finally ascends to the second floor, huh…."

 

"That guy… finally…"

 

"Soon, soon…"

 

Muttering among themselves as they finally hear the full report of the lady barging their meeting, the leaders of the Six Great Legia starts smiling as they heard of a pleasant news relating the last person among the first people who entered the Ethereal Tower, this person potentially the key to ascending to the next floor for them.

 

However, despite their excitement, all of them are well aware that no matter what sort of talent and abilities he has, it will still take him a long time before he can finally climb to the floor they are currently on, and they all feel like they cannot wait for such a long time before they ascend to the next floor.

 

"We can't rely on him for this floor, but still, it is great that he finally moves on from the first floor…" appearing extremely serious and considering all sorts of things, the scythe-wielding lady said with her voice shaking from the apparent excitement, a feeling that doesn't get pass the other lady in the room except for the witch, said lady smiling at her as she speaks with a teasing voice.

 

"Hehehe, looks like Sister Xianxian couldn't wait to meet that scoundrel again~" revealing a smile far genuine than her previous one, this lady said with a smile on her face, the words coming out of her cheerful mouth catching the other lady off-guard, making her cheeks flush red quite a bit for a moment before she manages to regain a bearing of herself.

 

"The hell are you talking about!?" looking at the teasing beauty, this scythe-wielding beauty asked with a hint of embarrassment still lacing her voice, her panicked words causing every other person except for one to explode in amused laughter.

 

This person who didn't feel excited by the news the witch's subordinate brought, stood up from his seat abruptly, appearing like he no longer wanted to stay in this room for a second more.

 

"Augustus, aren't you going to celebrate this good news with us?" looking at him with a hint of coercion lacing his tone, the prideful-looking young man asked, his words making the other man pause from his track for a while before he turns around with a smile on his face.

 

"Sorry Lucius, but there's a lot of problem in my Legia for me to handle, I don't have time to celebrate right now…" the man replied with the same smile on his face, making the others feel like he is clearly trying to do something that might be problematic.
