"All you have to do is inject your mana into this relic it will open a portal that will lead us to the exit." She took out a small stone that gave off strange energy and gave it to Alvine who looked at her with absent air.
"Don't stare at me like that, I'm the guardian of the key and I can't use it to open the gate, if you killed me to have it, you will be recognized as the new guardian and you will find yourself in the same condition as me. But if I had given you the key, not only could I not escape with you, but I would die under the effects of the curses of the tower. Do you now understand why it was the only solution for both of us to get out of here?" Seeing Alvine staring at him with annoyance, she could not help explaining to this guy who even distrusts his existence.
"Very well I understand. Being my contracted beast, not only will the tower no longer be able to hold you back if you connect your soul to mine, but I would not be considered the new guardian and I could use this stone to open a portal. You truly calculated everything in advance." Alvine was in admiration of her intellect.
Not wanting to waste more time, Alvine had returned to his human form and the scythe he held in his right hand disintegrated into particles and returned to his body. Subsequently, he injected mana into the small stone that absorbed just like a drop of water on the cloth. He staggered because of the sudden dizziness that had been caused by insufficient magical energy.
|EP 30/6800000|
'What?! This little stone has just pumped all my EPs?!' He looked deadly at the girl who stared at him with a mocking smile.
"Hehe, I wanted you to feel the same pain the first time. I forgot to warn you that stone needs magical energy that is equivalent to the magical energy of the five divine Magi. It took me five years to fill it with magical energy despite being at the grade of the empress. So you who are at the level... hm? A master rank mage?! Sigh, we are stuck here for a long time! And besides, how could you reach the tenth floor by being a master rank mage? I remember being beaten against holy-ranking animals on the fifth level. Has the difficulty of the dungeon weakened over the years?!"
While Yuer was constantly speaking, Alvine needed to listen to only one sentence from her... "the stone needs the energy of five mages of divine rank to open a portal!" If it were someone else, maybe he would sink into despair, but Alvine who was a living reservoir... had no problem with that!
*Exchange my necessary RE for my EP! * he said with a mischievous smile.
|13,6RE/6799970EP|
|EP: 6800000/6800000|
Instantly, a wave of breaking energy emanated again from his body and was instantly absorbed by the small stone as if it were a black hole. Yuer's discouraged expression lit up with disbelief. 'Did I see badly?!' - that was all she could think of at that moment.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut Alvine did not leave her in doubt. He performed the same non-stop operation for a minute before the small beast was satisfied by absorbing ten times Alvine's PE, which was recharged in blocks after each absorption.
The stone that was originally gray is now pure gold.
|Odin stone -520: treasure of divine grade|
|utility: the key to the immortal world after undergoing divine tribulation. |
'Hm? A key to the immortal kingdom?' His surprise was only brief before his expression became usual.
"How can you have so much magical energy? Are you truly a master rank mage?!" Yuer who was standing next to Alvine could not help but ask her with disbelief.
Instantly, a golden portal appeared in the middle of the room and both knew what it meant. But Alvine was nervous because of small detail, his system still did not warn him that he succeeded in his mission with the dungeon. It could only mean one thing... this floor is not the top floor!
"Yuer, stay on your guard. The place where this portal leads is not our final destination." Alvine warned her in a monotonous tone.
"I think the same thing." Her instinct said the same thing as Alvine. Strangely, they communicated as if he had known himself for several years before their meetings. It was because as long as the contract that bound him was not broken, no one can hurt the other... normally. But Alvine who had the competence "Heart of the Demon Gods" protects him from all kinds of submission!
Alvine went through the portal followed by Yuer who followed in their footsteps behind him as if she were afraid of being left behind.

Ding...
|Congratulations for surviving in the dungeon. |
|your rewards are ahead of you|
When Alvine came out on the other side of the portal, his system told him the news he expected the most. But when he read the following words of the system, he almost fainted with anger. Despite all the effort he made, the system did not reward him personally, instead, he was like in a museum with some treasures exposed here and there! They all looked rusty. Yuer stood behind him, silent without interrupting him, and was waiting to see his actions.
Alvine looked at the objects in front of him, which were all rusty as if he were going to turn into dust at the slightest contact.
|Primordial sword| |grade: -|
|Ring| |Grade: -|
'Tsk, Artifacts without class. Maybe it's because they're broken.' He said to himself, walking lazily towards the rusty sword in the window. When he grabbed the sword, all the other objects were driven to the ground! The room was empty. He only had the rusty sword left in his hand with his eyes wide open!
"Shit! Not only are they useless, but I don't even have the right to have them all! What an unnecessary reward...
|Do you want to restore the original energy of this sword? |
Before he could finish complaining, the system asked for confirmation with its lines of words.
*Hm? How many EP does it take to restore your energy? * since his event with the Odin stone, Alvine has been suspicious of the artifacts inside the tower. They look banal but in reality, it hides a deep story. Indeed, he was not wrong to be wary of this sword...
|the sword can only be restored with your RE points. |
|Calculations of RE-reacquired for its activation... |
|1000000RE are necessary to restore and activate the sword. |
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"What?! 500 billion EP? What is this abnormal sword?"
"Why are you screaming all of a sudden? What's wrong with this sword?" Yuer blocked her ears with her fingers.
"Huh? Do you see this rusty sword? It is like the stone that brought us here. But unlike the Odin stone which must store more of the magical energy of five divine rank mages, this sword requires the divine energy of more than one hundred thousand divine mages! I'm not talking to you about their magical energies, but about the divine energy!" Alvine put the rusty sword in his inventory. And turned around to check the room to see if there is something else left... without paying attention to Yuer who no longer knew what to answer with Alvine's assertion.
"Let's get out of here, we'll see after what the sword can do after injecting the amount of energy it requires. Oh yes, I almost forgot, once outside you have to let me manage before things get calm." He turned around to activate the golden stone that was in his hand.
"Um." She slightly nodded her head by tightening her grip on a rusty ring that was hidden in her hand, it was the other rusty treasure that was supposed to disappear underground with rusty armor and rusty helmets that had all disappeared underground!

"How?! This useless beast!!" The divine king gnashed his teeth when he saw Alvine and Yuer leave the holy dungeon and save!
As for Emilia, she seemed happy to see Alvine escape unscathed without the slightest scratch. It's time to go get it back. Sorry father, but I'm no longer your little girl that you always have to protect. I'm strong enough to take care of myself.' She made her decision internally. She turned around and left without giving a word to her parents.

"Grrr!"
The two gigantic doors of the tower trembled sharply, and the archaic seal that had sealed the door faded as the seconds passed. Everyone was on maximum alert. As for Sabrina, she always stood in her place with platitude! Her white hair was brushed by the winds while her eyes were fixed on the door.
Zeles, the demonic elder ordered his soldiers to gather in front of the large door of the tower and be ready in case.
When the door opened enough, two silhouettes could be seen vaguely rushing to get out of the tower.
It was none other than Alvine, who had suffered trials of successive deaths. This has changed the aura that now emanates from him.
And Yuer the fox princess who had been a prisoner in the tower for several centuries!
