The Tower remained Noah's topmost focus as after he talked with Rose and Annalise, he left the two girls to train with a few Silver Blessed as he made his way to continue past the 35th Floor.
With the powerful addition of 3 Light Element Units and his team being fully 6 SILVER Rift Bosses……he tore his way across the Tower as he could see his speed of progression was about to be explosive!
This time……he planned to do a speedrun!
The rewards for the 35th floor were just as stupendous as they should have been, Noah gaining 30,000 Bronze Upgrade Crystals and 10,000 Silver Rank Upgrade Crystals on top of 5 SILVER Skill Books and a variety of Potions.
He took the passive skills for himself as the active Offensive skills like [Frost Barrage] and others would be saved for Annalise and Rose.
His main focus at this moment was the Silver Rank Upgrade Crystals, these being the things that could produce a GOLD Unit for him!
He needed 50,000 for each Unit to do so, and he was barely halfway through collecting them for the first Unit.
With this on the line, he tore through the 36th through the 39th floor in a matter of 3 hours as he collected more loot, another 10,000 Silver Rank Upgrade Crystals falling into his hands as he was ever closer!
The levels of the Tower continued to be just as difficult, where the numbers of Silver Mobs increased and the Silver Rift Bosses he had to take down were even more numerous.
At the rate it was going……he expected to be facing a GOLD Rift Boss by the 50th floor!
Such a reality was terrifying to think about, but it meant that he would also very soon gain a creature at that very same Rank of power as he neared the 50th floor.
Such a thought was the reason he would persevere on today's speedrun!
The 40th floor was an expansive frozen area that had rough winds flying about, containing over 10 powerful Rift Bosses within that Noah had to take out before he advanced forward.
With a Light Pegasus and a Fiery Light Falcon raining down attacks from the air and 4 more powerful Units on the ground, the Rift Bosses were taken down in half an hour as Noah advanced forward relentlessly!
Abundant rewards more numerous than the normal floors flooded to him as usual, forging forward as he could almost taste the power of a GOLD Unit!
The 41st floor was then cleared.
42nd!, 43rd!, 44th!
On the 44th floor that signified the 10th floor he had cleared on this single day, he finally went above the 50,000 Silver Rank Upgrade Crystals to enhance a single Silver Unit to the peak!
Aside from the 20,000 he gained from the 35-39th floor, the 40th floor alone granted the increased rewards of every 5 floors as it gave him double what he received on the 30th and 35th floors- it granted him a stupendous 20,000 Silver Upgrade Crystals for that single floor.
The 41st through the 44th floors had granted him another 12,000 Silver Upgrade Crystals as aside from these, he had an overabundance of Skill Books, Silver Equipment, Cores.
But his shining eyes focused on the now 72,000 Silver Upgrade Crystals from todays floors and the ones he had collected so far as with these……he was more halfway to making a GOLD Unit!
'Of course……it has to be one of the power Light Element Units.'
He rested his tired body while popping a Mana and Health Potion into his mouth, enjoying the sugary taste while thinking of the possibilities.
He had truly been speedrunning the past floors, rapidly getting the rewards he wanted as his goal was right in front of him.
Most floors took over an hour or more, a lot of time having passed as Noah remained in the Tower of Champions!
He glanced at the rewards of the 45th floor and above, his heart shaking as when he did the math…he truly just had to pass a few floors above it to get his hands on what he wanted!
'Haaa…'
He breathed out his exhaustion as he looked at his Units, popping in more mana and Health Potions as he restored himself to his peak before he dove into the 45th floor.
The environment was in a frozen mountain, with the level being filled with over a dozen Silver Rift Bosses he had to find across the snowy areas.
This single level alone was harder than any he had come across before, taking him an hour and half to wade through before he and his Units finished the last Silver Rift Boss.
RUMBLE!
Their figures were returned to the waiting room as Noah's eyes were bloodshot, having not slept the past day as he had been constantly diving into the floors of the Tower of Champions for the past hours.
Shockingly, a day had already passed as night had descended in the outside world, but as he saw the rewards of the 45th floor and how close it brought him to his goal……he had to force himself to continue!
[Rewards for the 45th floor…+20,000 Silver Rank Upgrade Crystals…+5 Silver Rank Skill Books…]
Similar to the 40th floor, 20,000 Crystals greeted him as they brought his total number to……92,000.
When he saw this number his bloodshot eyes glanced at the floors above 45 and their rewards as……he knew no matter what happened tonight, he had to keep going.
This was because from the 46th to the 49th floors, the loot rewards each held +5,000 Silver Rank Upgrade Crystals within them!
It meant that just clearing 2 more floors would put him over the 100,000 that he needed to fully bring two Silver Units to their peak before he could call forth a Gold Unit.
For this……he had to continue.
The environment of frozen wastelands continued for the 46th floor, the Potions and the abilities of the Tree Pixie to rejuvenate and heal his body being the only thing that kept Noah going.
At this point, all the enemies they faced were Silver Rift Bosses by the dozens, the only lucky thing being how they were all spread out across the frozen wastelands so they couldn't group up around Noah and his Units!
The Light Element Units showed their superiority even against the Flesh Giant and the Horned Serpent as within one hour and a half, the vast 46th floor was cleared.
With bloodshot eyes that shone with a blue splendor, Noah delved into the 47th floor as it seemed to be the most grueling one so far, purely in terms of how tired he was at this point as he kept his focus by equipping the Light Bow and shooting deadly arrows towards their enemies.
The floors of the Tower of Champions were becoming much vaster and significantly harder as he continued to rise, the difficulty being ramped up great as Noah would need to quickly upgrade his power if he wanted to keep clearing the levels safely!
But all it took was a matter of time.
After close to 2 hours……the 47th floor was also cleared!
'Fucking finally…'
Noah let out a tired breath as he saw the number of Silver Rank Upgrade Crystals hit 102,000.
Fifty thousand into each Silver Units, and the fusion of them into the GOLD rank would take place!
Just days after stepping into the rank of SILVER, Noah was about to call forth his first GOLD Unit!
