MTL NOVEL Chapter 283: Extreme Weather 97th Floor
***
Six months later.
Dark Pillar 96th floor boss room.
[CONGRATULATIONS!]
[You have successfully completed the Dark Pillar's 96th floor boss challenge]
[The next floor of Dark Pillar Tower has been unlocked]
[Floor Access Privilege: 97th]
[Want to go to the next floor?]
[Yes] [No]
Aaron fell to his knees, his breath coming in short gasps indicating that his energy was almost depleted when conquering the legendary fire lion monster.
It was the 96th floor's ruling floor boss, there were a total of four more floor bosses Aaron had to defeat to reach the 100th floor of Dark Pillar.
He took a level 10 HP Potion, then downed five pieces of the item. That way, the amount of HP depleted will be restored as before.
In this battle, Aaron got some good news. He had killed many maze monsters and wild monsters on the 96th floor.
That made him level up by 25 from before, the higher the level of the monster, the higher the EXP obtained.
[DING! Congratulations on reaching the Young Great Ruler mage tier]

[Level: 1003]
Aaron smiled. The experience from killing the floor boss earlier was so great that it was able to help him level up. He didn't expect that he would level up five floors in six months.
Previously, Aaron could reach dozens of floors within six months. However, that doesn't mean Aaron's abilities are weakening. Instead, he got stronger because he could conquer one floor in one month.
"I'd better get up to the 97th floor soon, I have a lot of things to do," Aaron explained.
He pressed confirm at the floor teleportation position, making another panel appear showing the countdown until the teleportation between floors began.
[Teleportation to next floor confirmed]
[Destination: 97th]
[Initiate teleportation to destination in five minutes]

Aaron looked back, he saw the door of the floor boss room open slowly. Visibly, no one was outside the floor boss room, it was quiet with no other mages.
Since Aaron had been raiding monsters from the 81st floor to this floor, such a scene had become commonplace and not so distressing.
It was only natural since Aaron was the only one who managed to reach this floor.
He walked alone until the clomping of his footsteps echoed in the place, the gusts of wind and drops of cave water adorned the silence there, making the situation so quiet.
Even so, no maze monsters came to attack. All the maze monsters had been defeated in the 96th floor monster raid this time, it took Aaron about six hours to kill them all.
That way, Aaron could ensure that he managed to defeat them all and get the amount of experience he needed. With that experience, Aaron could level up quickly.
This was Aaron's fourth time raiding the same floor. Since the goal was to increase individual levels, Aaron was not at all worried about wasted time.

Aaron closed his eyes, his body continued to glow blue into tiny magic particles that flew into the sky. Aaron's figure completely disappeared from the outer area of the floor boss room.
When Aaron opened his eyes, he saw himself in front of the 97th floor light stone. What surprised him was the temperature of the place, much colder as if this floor had an eternal winter weather mechanism.
Aaron activated his magic aura, using that power to warm his body. Slowly, Aaron's body temperature normalized and was not affected by the temperature of the surrounding environment.
He stepped forward, each step accompanied by snow that melted when near Aaron. The man noticed that as far as the eye could see, there was nothing but a forested area with trees filled with piles of snow.
"I didn't expect a place like this here," Aaron replied.
Because he wanted to see more, Aaron flew up while maintaining his purple magic manipulation. From the sky, he saw many wild monsters roaming within the forest.
They seemed to have adapted well to the extreme environment on this floor.
From the front, he saw an iceberg covered with eternal snow. Many large size monsters ruled the place, it was enough to make Aaron wary.
"At least there is no safe place for humans other than the stone of light," Aaron replied.
When he wanted to return to the location of the stone of light. He was shocked by the vision image of one of his clones, Lewis.
Aaron stopped flying, started closing his eyes and saw what Lewis saw. Currently, Lewis was on the 50th floor, he came as a representative of the 25th Sky Sword. They called him the champion of Sky Sword 25th.
Not only Lewis, but Eloise and Emily also came upstairs. The grand elders gave three slots to them because they could work well together, given their well-established chemistry.
Currently, a big tournament was being held in Noah City, bringing together members from other groups to compete for the prestigious title of the best group.
Among them all, Aaron saw the figures of Killian, Elsa, Alfredo. They did not come as participants, but as guests of honor.
Earlier, the three presidents had gone downstairs to train their members for this big tournament. Currently, the tournament was organized and the battle was about to begin.
"Looks like I have to go back to Noah City to see this tournament in person," Aaron replied.
He returned to the stone of light and summoned one of the clones formed from condensed purple magic energy. The clone was passive, meaning it was only tasked with gathering energy.
"Stay here and collect natural energy. Use your magic energy to warm yourself," Aaron explained.
"I understand."
"Let me know immediately if the 97th floor Dark Pillar will be opened," Aaron replied.
His clone nodded. It began to sit cross-legged in front of the light stone and began to absorb dark energy into its body, the result of converting natural energy into dark energy.
Seeing that he had a clone that would tell him, Aaron decided to leave the floor back to Noah City.
"Hopefully, he won't notice me being there."
