I Refused To Be Reincarnated

Chapter 190: Rewards (3)

[Attributing tailored reward. Scanning the challenger. Boss defeated, rarity increased.]

[Granting enigmatic rank item to the challenger: Grimoire Beastaria for his rating.]

Upon reading the item's rank and name, his lips curled into a smile. So far, the most practical reward he obtained in the trials was his Grimoire Lingua. Of course, the weapons were valuable in their own rights, saving his life many times. Yet, he still preferred the grimoire.

"Beastaria? Like a beast compendium?" He asked, joy filling his heart. Studying beasts to use morphomancer's magic was too time-consuming, requiring understanding down to the cellular level.

Then, his eyes bulged at the unexpected message.

[Granting mythical rank material to the challenger: Misha's Genetic Code.]

In his surprise, he almost stumbled to the ground as anger rose in him. With gritted teeth, he spat, "Change it! Don't dare desecrate her body more than it had already been."

However, the tower didn't care about his complaints or emotions and continued with its rewards.

[Attributing additional reward for being the first to beat the third challenge.]

[Granting the tier four legendary weapon Blade of Adaptation.]

Even reading the weapon's rank didn't calm him as he yelled again, "Take her DNA back and don't dare to touch her body again!"

Alas, the tower continued, causing him to curse it before confusion covered his eyes.

[Attributing additional reward for being the first to resolve the third trial thoroughly.]

[Granting the ??? Egg.]

"Why did I get an additional reward?" He mused, perplexed, before remembering a detail. The previous messages mentioned the absence of any life after his passage. Was it the way the tower wanted its challengers to complete the trials?

As he pondered, momentarily setting aside his anger, a single soul in a vast, dark expanse raised its head. Gazing at the sea of transparent individuals briefly, it focused on a small holographic screen, a warm smile broadening on its ethereal face.

"Already time to return among the living. I didn't even rest that much." Its melodious voice echoed in the gloomy space before it tapped on the YES box.

Subsequently, blinding white light engulfed and encased it in a sturdy eggshell before it fell into a deep slumber.

Simultaneously, in the boundless white room, the tower concluded its reward ceremony with familiar messages, making Adam's face distort into a grimace.

[Items granted by the tower are soul-bound. They can't be stolen, traded or lost.]

[Do you want to proceed with the fourth floor's challenge?]

With a sigh, he answered, "Get me out. I'll never come back!" This time, he was serious. The trial left deep marks on both his heart and psyche, and this emotionless construct had no morals, sending him to this dreadful place.

Moreover, he realised he had to obliterate any living being in the trial to claim the additional reward. But to do that, he needed thorough preparations.

Echoing his words, the same magic circle appeared under his feet and enveloped his body in blinding white light, teleporting him in front of the tower's giant gates.

Back in Area Eleven's plaza, he peered down at the four rewards in his hands before walking towards his apartment. 'I'll inspect them once back,' he thought when, suddenly, the ground rumbled to life. Gradually, an elegant building emerged in front of his apartment, startling and prompting him to ponder. 'Too big for a habitat, and it looks like a circular bathhouse.'

Curiosity filled his mind as his legs hurriedly took him to the mysterious structure. In less than five minutes, he reached its intricately carved golden doors adorned by calligraphy.

"Fusion pool," He read, wondering what could be fused, ideas flashing in his mind. After all, despite their excellent effects, his dagger and spear's effectiveness proved insufficient, especially against tier-four adversaries. Yet, he didn't want to abandon them and thought that by fusing them, he could give them a new life.

Acting on his idea, he pushed the graceful doors open and stepped inside the large interior, gazing at the beautiful marble pillars supporting the high circular ceiling. Then, he looked at the shimmering pool of translucent water in awe.

Whispering with mystery and power, it reflected the light in a dance of myriad colors, captivating his eyes. After admiring it for a minute, he put his items in his pockets and summoned his trusted partners.

The Beastbane dagger glinted with a primal aura, and the Ethereal Radiance with pure light as they appeared in his hands. Then, with a broad smile, he threw them in the pool, saying, "I hope you'll get a new life and continue to accompany me on my journey."

Expectation filled his heart as the weapons splashed in the mystical waters, causing it to gather and embrace them in its currents. Subsequently, a magical scene unfolded before his eyes as the water dismantled the weapons in their fundamental components before slowly reassembling them.

However, a message poured cold water on his expectations as he read it in annoyance.

[Time required for the fusion: one day.]

"Should have guessed it." He said, smiling wryly before turning to leave. Waiting a day wasn't that big of a price for an upgraded weapon, anyway.

After taking his time to scan the plaza, hoping to see someone emerge from one of the habitations in vain, he entered his room and sat on his bed with a sigh.

Next, he retrieved a tube containing a cloudy solution from his pocket and focused on it to get its description.
