Chapter 72: Chapter 72: Level Up Feast (2)

Adonis and Valentina stepped onto the altar.

As soon as they did, the frozen hall vanished. In its place stretched an endless snowy plain under a pale gray sky. Towering pines heavy with frost lined the horizon. Wind howled, carrying the distant screech of wings.

Floor 2: Frozen Tundra.

They moved quickly.

Valentina took point, Blood Devourer already drawn. Adonis followed, Harem Sword buzzing chaotically in his grip.

First pack appeared within minutes.

10 Arctic Wolves, Level 24, larger than the previous floor’s. They circled, breath steaming in white clouds.

Valentina got his signal. She thrusted the blood devourer onto the snow, muttering loudly,

“Crimson Domain.”

Once again, blood pooled beneath her feet, spreading in a thirty-meter radius.

As a result, the wolves’ paws stuck to the frozen ground.

They snarled, clearly struggling a lot.

Adonis activated Relentless Thrust.

The black blade became a violet streak.

Swoosh, swoosh, swish

Four thrusts were executed in half a second, piercing four hearts cleanly.

Those four wolves dropped dead before they could break free.

Valentina spun as her Blood Devourer sliced through the remaining four in a single horizontal arc.

Splash—

Heads rolled, and crimson essence flowed into her weapon, making the blade glow brighter.

They barely took the time to distribute their attribute points, then kept moving forward.

Floor 3: Ice Caverns.

This was constructed of narrow tunnels lit by glowing blue crystals.

Its predators were Frost Serpents, Level 26.

Their long, translucent bodies blended seamlessly with ice walls.

Valentina’s domain slowed them.

Adonis’s Sword Art swept through the tunnel in a crescent wave.

Those Violet-black blades shredded scales and flesh. Serpents burst into icy shards.

[ EXP + 1,400 × 14 ]

[ Levelled Up! ]

Floor 4: Blizzard Ridge.

It was a open plateau. But the stronh hale-force winds reduced the visibility to ten meters.

It has Arctic Griffins (Level 28)

They had eagle heads, lion bodies, twenty-foot wingspans.

Like a ancient horror, they swooped down from above.

Adonis leaped away, then activated his Half-Draconification form.

From his back, a pair of ashen-silver wings burst out, allowing him to fight in the air..

He met the first griffin mid-air.

“Clang!”

Sword clashed against talons, creating sparks of falling embers.

He twisted his bodh and drove the blade through the beast’s chest.

“Screech!”

It shrieked once and plummeted down. “BANG!”

Valentina, staying grounded, raised Blood Devourer skyward.

“Blood Rain Judgment.”

Instantly crimson meteors rained from above.

The Griffins tried to flee, but they were too late.

Boom. Booom. Booom.

Explosions of blood and feathers lit the white blizzard red.

[ EXP + 2,800 × 7 ]

[ Level Up! Level 10→ Level 11 ]

[ +80 attribute points ]

Adonis dumped 20 into Intelligence, 15 each into Strength, Agility, Defense, Charm, Luck.

Then, continued on grinding.

Floor 8: Crystal Labyrinth.

It was mystical place of Mirrors of ice reflected endless copies.

The view alone was disorienting. Fortunately, the system appraisal was saving grace.

[ Phantom Wraiths, Level 32.]

These monsters were hidden in reflections.

They were very tricky enemies, and needed to be cleared in a single strike.

Adonis whispered a plan into her ears.

Valentina nodded, unleashing her Crimsom Domain again.

Crimson domain successfully spotted them, and bound them with blood chains.

Seeing thr opportunity, Adonis used his strongest art.

“Chaos Ultimatia”

For the first time Adonis unleashed Chaos Ultimatia.

Instantly a terrifying explosion of violet energy erupted in the Labyrinth.

“BOOOM!”

It annihilated mirrors and wraiths alike.

[ EXP + 3,500 × 15 ]

[ Level Up! ]

[ Level Up! ]

Floor 12: Eternal Frost Lake.

Floor 12 was a frozen surface.

It main attraction were Ice elementals, level 35 giants of living frost.

Adonis activated Half-Dragonifaction again.

Valentina stayed topside. Her blood energy rose upward, forming several sharp lances.

Both of them charged at once.

[ EXP + 4,800 × 4 ]

[ Level Up! Level 13 → Level 14 ]

[ +80 points ]

20 Intelligence. Rest split evenly.

Floor 16: Avalanche Pass.

A narrow canyon where snow constantly fell.

Snow Behemoths (Level 36) ambushed from above.

Adonis and Valentina fought back-to-back.

His Chaos Ultimatia annihilated through rock and flesh. Her Blood Rain Judgment turned avalanches into burning craters.

Their coordination was almost perfect now.

[ EXP + 6,200 × 7 ]

[ Level Up! Level 15→ Level 16 ]

[ +80 points ]

As they cleared the nineteenth floor, the ground was littered with valuable drops.

Adonis gathered Frost-Iron Ore, Griffin Talons, and several C-grade Water Cores. These were treasures that would fetch thousands of gold pieces in the Capital, but to Adonis, they were merely fuel for his eventual rise.

​Now, after 2 days of non-stop slaughter, they stood before the massive, ice-encrusted gate of the twentieth floor.

​Adonis checked his status one last time.

​The growth was monstrous. In just 48 hours, he had achieved what most students took years to accomplish. His presence was no longer that of a talented youth, he radiated a hunter’s aura that even made the air around him tremble.

​“Are you ready, Valentina?” Adonis asked, voice now deep and resonant, like a budding powerhouse.

​The Vampire Queen adjusted her grip on her sword, showing a feral, hungry smile.

“The blood in this place is cold and weak, Adonis. I hope the one behind these doors has something richer to offer.”

“That is for sure.”

​Adonis placed his hand on the gate.

With a trace of draconic strength, he pushed.

​The doors opened to reveal a massive amphitheater made of black ice. At the center sat a throne of frozen bones, and upon it sat the Floor Boss: The Frost-Giant King, Ymir’s Echo.

​The giant stood nearly 30 feet tall, his skin the color of a bruised glacier, covered in armor made from the scales of ancient sea serpents.

In his hand was a club carved from the trunk of a world-tree.

​The moment Adonis stepped into the arena, the Giant King stirred.

The sheer pressure of his aura forced Adonis to plant his feet firmly to avoid being blown back.

This was a Level 40 elite entity, a trial meant for a party of veteran Swordmasters, not a lone student and his familiar.
