Chapter 461  Vale's Tower Ascension ( 5 )

Hu~

Vale's body trembled, but there was a newfound strength emanating from within him. The torment he had endured had not been in vain. With each passing second, he could feel his Incorruptible Body solidifying, honed to perfection.

He could feel that the transformation was already over, but the Body Spell was still active.

A surge of elation washed over Vale as he realized that his Incorruptible Body seemed to have gained a new ability.

Thanks to the Spell Model in his body, he could tell that he no longer just had a strong defense against Corruption or other invasive Spells like hypnotism and curses but also a physique that allowed him to be unaffected by his own Spell Dispersion!

This would allow him to just spam the Spell Dispersion if he encountered a Spellcaster!

Vale couldn't help but smile at this idea.

He then shifted his attention to the black sword. Aside from the Bronze Treasure Chest at the bottom of the stairs leading to the sixth floor, he realized that the black sword might also be a reward.

He decided to pick it up, and to his surprise, his system was actually triggered!

[ Otherworldly Item has been discovered. Would you like to extract it? ]

"Yes!"

Vale answered without hesitation. It was the first time he got this notification from an item that was not an Immortal Fragment or Immortal Shard.

[ Extraction Successful. Phantom Sword Technique has been learned ]

"What?"

Vale was stunned as the Phantom Sword was sent to his mind, allowing him to learn the technique without any problems… Although he hadn't tried using the method yet, he could tell that it would not take that long before he could reach an acceptable level of mastery with this sword technique!

Just like that, Vale had learned a new Sword Technique!

'I wonder if I could also fuse Shadowblade and Phantom Sword…' Vale thought, but he suddenly noticed the changes in the Hall.

The pillar started shaking as if it was about to collapse.

This was the signal of the Tower telling him to enter the sixth floor quickly.

Vale then took the items inside the Bronze Chest… They were three talismans and he didn't check them and just kept them in his pockets.

Anyway, he wasn't a Talisman Expert.

He then swiftly ascended to the sixth floor and met the next challenge.

"So it's another battle?" Vale thought.

He found himself confronted with a different challenge. As he surveyed the Hall, his gaze shifted upwards, revealing a ceiling adorned with intricate webs.

The air hung heavy with an eerie stillness, broken only by the faint scuttling sounds that reached his ears.

His attention was drawn to a pair of crimson eyes, glinting in the dim light.

A large spider emerged from the shadows, its legs skittering across the web-filled ceiling. But it wasn't just one spider that Vale faced; his Magic Zone detected the presence of numerous arachnids lurking in the shadows, their presence sending a shiver down his spine.

Although he wasn't scared of them, their sight was still quite horrifying…

'I wonder how the other two defeated these creatures? Did we have a different challenge? Or do they have a special ability that works against spiders?' Vale silently thought as he recalled Lexie and Ceres reaching the seventh floor.

The sight of the multitude of spiders engulfing the Hall already sent a chill coursing through his veins.

With a deep breath to steady his mind, Vale focused his gaze on the menacing creatures before him. His grip tightened around his sword, his mind calculating the move he had to make to eliminate all of them.

There was no room for hesitation or doubt; only swift and decisive action would see him through this tricky situation.

'Well… Since I just obtained the Perfect Realm of my Incorruptible Body and learned a new Sword Technique, I might as well put them into action.' Vale mused…

As the spiders closed in, he used his Stormbringer once again and charged forward using his Phantom Sword Technique, slicing through the air with lethal accuracy.

Whoosh~

Each swing of his blade was met with a flurry of retaliatory strikes from the spiders, their sharp fangs and venomous bites a constant threat.

Vale swiftly moved through the chaos, dodging webs and evading the lethal jaws of his arachnid adversaries.

'So this Phantom Sword is really good in one-on-one combat but lacks in crowd control.' Vale thought as he couldn't help but compare his Shadowblade to the Phantom Sword.

Nevertheless, as he continued using the Phantom Sword, he felt himself being integrated into it more and more.

His movements started appearing as if he had honed his skills through years of training and dedication.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

With every spider defeated, another seemed to take its place, their numbers seemingly endless.

'They just keep coming…' Vale complained, but he wasn't worried at all.

His determination remained unyielding… He also felt that this was actually a good opportunity to make sure that his Phantom Sword Technique wasn't just a memory in his head but also a technique that he could use in battle.

The clash raged on, the battle growing more intense with each passing moment.

Vale's body glistened with sweat, his muscles straining with the exertion. After 15 minutes of combat against the unending spiders, he could feel the weariness creeping in, but he refused to succumb to the slight fatigue.

The spiders may have outnumbered him, but he possessed an indomitable spirit that propelled him forward... Well, that was certainly his immense Force that he hadn't fully used yet.

"Haha… I think I've mastered it!"

A triumphant chuckle escaped Vale's lips as he effortlessly cleaved through four arachnids with a single powerful swing of his blade.

His gaze then shifted to the imposing figure of the massive spider looming above him, its eight legs poised in a menacing stance. However, instead of rushing to aid its dying offspring, the spider remained eerily still, observing Vale with unblinking eyes.

A surge of resoluteness coursed through Vale's veins. If the spider queen refused to act, then he would take matters into his own hands.

Vale then taunted the enemy above him... "Since you're content staying put, I'll eliminate all your offspring first!"
