Chapter 128: Climbing the tower


    Despite being crushed by the rocks, Gctic didn''t die immediately, he still had a few HP left and was blocked under the rocks.


    However, before all the rocks could even fall to the ground, Adam appeared. Because he was using [Charge], each of his steps extremely heavy, and so without even noticing he applied even more pressure onto the rocks on top of Gctic.


    Before anyone could react, Gctic finally died, in a terrible manner. The extreme weight crushed his bony so hard that his muscles liquefied and his bones were grounded to little pieces no bigger than sand.


    Even with the pain parameters at the lowest, the yers would still feel 1% of the pain, and even 1% of the pain from such a death was traumatic.


    When Adam got out of the mansion, he was surprised to see a group of people standing in front of him, moreover he could feel their leader was quite strong, and he was probably the Guild Leader of Cosmos.


    He wanted to say something to him, but he felt his feet were sticky, and so he looked down. Seeing the deformed corpse impossible to recognize, Adam couldn''t help but pity this person, for having such a terrible luck.


    He stepped out of the bloody mess and looked at the strongest person here, Sky Devil, and asked "Are you Cosmos'' Guild Leader?"


    Sky Devil regained his senses as he said "I am." Adam nodded and said "Are you sure you want to fight against me? You won''t be able to kill me." Sky Devil replied, with neither anger or scorn "I would like to see that."


    Adam grinned at that and unsheathed his sword, sending out a steam flying sh before sheathing it again.


    Sky Devil already had his shield in front of him and his guild members behind him, so he thought they would all be safe, but when the flying sh hit his shield he lost his countenance.


    The sh was much stronger than he thought, making him stumble back, but he was able to keep his shield standing despite the 2000 damage he took from the vibrations alone.


    Adam, as soon as he shed out, he sheathed his sword back and ran away. Sky Devil frowned and said "Contact our members to surround him. Let''s chase him."


    The team ran after Adam, trying their best to follow him, but he was unexpectedly quick for a Berserker.


    Adam headed for the center of the city, but a team of yers appeared in front of him, blocking his path. The streets were quite big, and from what he could see there were between 30 and 40 yers blocking him, from all sses.


    In a split second, Adam decides to stomp the ground with [Icy Stomp]. He didn''t need it to kill them, but he had to attack them before they attacked him. A Sovereign and several SS sses were chasing behind him, and if he had to defend himself against the attacks of the group in front of him they would most certainly catch up to him.


    A wave of frost burst from under his foot, and in an instant the group in front of him turned into ice sculptures, the stomp dealt almost 60 000 damage, so even the few Northmen among them who had ice resistance lost all their health.


    Aside from killing all the yers, the surrounding 15 meters was covered in ice. Adam didn''t even stop after stomping and continued running, the ice on the ground did not slow him down in the slightest, neither did the dead yers who burst into pieces as Adam ran through them.


    A few secondster, Sky Devil and his group arrived too, but they were forced to slow down because of the ice so they wouldn''t slip. This allowed Adam to widen the distance between them.


    Adam was heading for the center most edifice in the city, a big mansion with a tower in the center of it.


    As the center mansion, probably the mayor''s mansion, entered his vision, another group appeared to block his path, but there were only 10 of them this time.


    Since his [Icy Stomp] was on cooldown, Adam acted differently this time. He continued running toward them, as if he wasn''t going to attack, and checked the sses of those in front of him. From their weapons Adam quickly concluded there were 6 Elementalists, 2 Assassins and 2 Swordsmen.


    A n formed in his mind, and so he ignored the two assassins who disappeared and the two Swordsmen rushing toward him. Even as they prepared to strike him down he continued running.


    However, the mages also fired their spells toward him. The spells fired by Bronze Elementalists were very quick, not as fast as a bullet, but at least as fast an arrow, and so most people wouldn''t be able to dodge them.


    But Adam wasn''t just anyone, he had opened 3 Gates and his stronger Soul made his brain activity faster than other people, so he was able to react better to the spells.


    The moment they left the staffs and wands of the Elementalists, Adam activated [Whirlwind sh], bing slightly faster. This allowed him to dodge the two swordsing for him, as well as the six spells.


    At the same time, the two Swordsmen and six Elementalists he passed by were all hit by wind des, all losing 13 000 HP. As Level 30 yers who didn''t open the 3rd Gate, all of them died on the spot, cut in two by the wind des.


    When Adam''s [Whirlwind sh] boost of speed ended, Adam was closed enough to the mansion, but he didn''t want to enter it. Instead, he jumped on top of it. The 7 meters jumped looked surreal, but Adam''s stats were more than enough to allow him to do such a jump.


    Jumping on top of the roof of the mansion allowed him to have a better vision of his surroundings, and he saw many yers were converging toward his position. Adam then continued going for the tower at the center of the city.


    The tower was quite high, about five hundred meters tall, and the higher one was, the thinner the tower became.


    Adam jumped at the tower, but instead of gripping his hand and his legs to the tower, he only ced his feet against it, as if he wanted to walk on the tower like it was the ground.


    And that''s exactly what he did. Thanks to his [Clingy Ring], climbing was easy for him, as he could run vertically on the tower.


    When Sky Devil and the others reached the tower too, they all looked at Adam in wonder. Why was he doing this? All he was doing was destroying any path of retreat for himself, he just made killing him annoying.


    On the side, one of the elders asked "Do you think he might have a flying mount? Maybe he is going up there to fly away?"


    But Sky Devil shook his head and said "It has been confirmed his pet is a spider, and a Berserker can only have one pet. Come on, let''s follow him." Unlike Adam, they were much slower as they had to climb like normal humans. Of course, their strengthened bodies made them better climber than any climber on Earth.


    As for Adam, when he was about 200 meters up the tower, his [Icy Stomp] was off cooldown, and so he once again used it. No one was hurt, but the area 15 meters below him and 15 meters above him was frozen, making climbing much harder.


    Even if they went around the 30 meters frozen area, they would lose a lot of time. After that, Adam was able to quickly reach the top of the tower thanks to his [Clingy Ring]. As he did so, he used his skills to freeze many spots, making climbing much harder.


    The top of the tower was pointy, and thest 50 meters of the tower was barely three meters in circumference.


    When he reached the tip top of the tower, Adam steadied himself against the strong wind, and started to meditate! While Sky Devil and the others were trying their best to climb the tower, he was already in a state of perfect equilibrium, working on his 4th Gate.
