A moment later the smoke disappeared. Xenos was standing there... unharmed. Even his clothes were intact.
"Maybe you can warm yourself a bit in winter with this fire," he said.
Everyone was surprised.
"N-no... this is impossible. How are you unharmed? How are you still alive? Why?" the boy said with a panicked voice.
"Maybe I didn't tell you that I'm level 20, did I?" Xenos said.
"How did yo...," the boy couldn't finish his word. Xenos instantly appeared before him and caught his neck. He lifted him from the ground with one hand.
"I won't have killed you, if you hadn't tried to kill me first. So this is self defense." He continued "And if anybody dares to call me a murderer, then be prepared to be the next target."
Nobody made a sound. They heard the threat.
The boy was struggling. He tried to kick Xenos to break free. But Xenos used more pressure in his grip. The boy tried to apologise, but Xenos didn't let him do it.
"You said there is no law. So, it's fine if I kill you. Actually even if there was any law, I still would have killed you. I would have killed every single one standing with you."
Then he threw the boy's body outside the auditorium. He used all his strength in this throw.
The speed was so great that as soon as his body collided with the wall, it burst apart. His every bone, organ and flesh turned to paste. Almost everyone vomited seeing this situation. But nobody could spoke. They heard the threat. They didn't stand up for Xenos. Now if they stand up for that boy, they will surely get on his bad side.
At that moment everyone knew what situation they were in. They have made a monster out of a human.
"Oh man... that was satisfying. Maybe I should try it sometimes," Xenos said.
Hearing this, the other boys who stepped forward at that time to attack Xenos and other who bullied him before, felt like their soul has left their body.
At that moment William said in an angry,"How can you be so cruel?"
"Did you tell them the same thing when they made my life miserable?", Xenos said without giving him a glance.
"I've had enough of your drama. I wanted to hide it, but I can't anymore. I'm actually a legendary clas holder, which is holy Knight. I'm currently level 7. I know the level difference between me and you is great. But I challenge you to a duel. If I win, you leave everyone alone... deal?", William said in a serious tone.
"Oh... playing the legendary role of the protagonist! OK, let's do that.", Xenos said with a funny tone.
They started the battle and in an instant Xenos disappeared and appeared behind William. With a single strike, he made William unconscious.
Everyone was stunned. At last, they thought that they had hope. They thought William with his legendary class could win despite the great level difference. But their hope shattered in an instant.
Then Xenos walked towards the entrance. He had broken the door. He bought a hard door from the system and attached it in it's position.
Then he turned towards everyone and said, "With this no monster can enter anymore. You all are safe from monsters."
He ment to say they are safe from monsters, but not from him.
Then he said, "I have works to do. Once I'm done, I will come back. I have cleared the whole school. You can run, but if you survive, I will find you."
Then he left and came at the roof again. It is lucky place after all.
Then he said, "Start trial."
[Ding. Starting the the trial of ascension. Moving to 'The Tower of Ascension.]
A portal appeared in front of him and he entered it. Then he appeared in an field about 10 meters in radius.
[The flow of time in the tower and the real world are different. 1 year in the tower is equivalent to 1 second to real world. You will not age inside the tower.]
[The tower of ascension is divided into 100 floor. From floor 1 to 50, you will recover every time you clear a floor. From floor 51 to 90, you will recover in every 10 floor. From 91 to 100 you won't recover.]
[You will get a status based on how high you climb in the tower. This status will always be with you.]
[The status are :
Commoner : Floor (1-10)
Soilder : Floor (11-20)
Elite : Floor (21-30)
Noble : Floor (31-40)
Viscount: Floor (41-50)
Count : Floor (51-60)
Lord : Floor (61-70)
King : Floor (71-80)
Emperor : Floor (81-90)
Monarch : Floor (91-95)
Ancestor : Floor (96-99)
Progenitor : Floor (100)]
[In every floor you will fight monsters equivalent to that floor's status.]
[From floor 1 to 10 you will get your stat points bosted by 2X in every 10 levels as well as the required experience points to level up will be doubled in each level. For floor 11 to 20 it will be 5X and for floor 21 to 30 it will be 10X. Please clime higher floor to know the multiplications for higher floors and for your future development.]
[Floor 1 trial will start in 10 seconds.]
[10

Then a level 20 goblin appeared in front of him.
He instantly killed it.
[Congratulations for clearing floor 1.]
Then a portal appeared and he went inside.
In the 2nd floor the field became 20 miter and the pressure increased by 2X and the number of goblins were 2. He killed them like before.
In floor 3 the field was 40 miter and the pressure increased by 3X and there were 3 goblins.
He cleared from 1 to 10 very easily like killing a mosquito. In floor 10 he faced 1024 monsters. It took him almost 1 day to complete the first 10 floors.
In floor 11 the number of goblins became 5, but there was something else. They had status like the system mentioned before.
[Goblin
Level : 20
Status : Soldier]
That means they will get 5X bost in power than before.
Then Xenos calculated and figured that in every floor you have to fight monsters similar to that floor's status and the monsters will have power equivalent to their status. The size of the field will also increase by the same multiply that the status give.
'Looks like reaching the 100 floor will be difficult.' He thought.
Actually it is more than difficult. Well... unless anyone is born strong or have a heaven breaking treasure, maybe he can reach the 50th floor... somehow.
Xenos cleared from floor 11 to 20. In every floor the monsters were multiplied by 5. He literally fought 5¹⁰ monsters in floor 20. It took him almost 5 years even after continuous killing. In the tower he could get food from the system for free. So, there was no food problem.
At this time all he knew was killing. He didn't see anything but monsters in decades. But he didn't give up. He have to keep going. Even if it takes millions of years.
When he was bored after killing, he would take rest and remember the enjoyable days with Ethan. He knew it will take a lot of time.
He doesn't have anyone who cares about him or he cares about. He doesn't want to become weak.
The monsters were also becoming stronger. They were getting better in both quality and quantity.
If it weren't for his 'War Dominator' title maybe he couldn't even cross floor 30 even by playing survival and it would have taken him more than 1000 years. But as the number of monsters are increasing, so does is his killing efficiency.
But the main problem is the pressure. Maybe it is increasing by plus 1 in every floor. But in 100th floor, he have to face 100X pressure and maybe fight 100 beings with Progenitor status. Though it will take a lot of time to reach there.
Then the portal to the 21th floor appeared and Xenos entered it.
