Chapter 187: 184. Gaze of terror
'Why is my spirit points in decimals now?' Collins thought as he looked at his stat screen.
[Spirit points (sixth class): 2.6/3.2]
Collins tapped on the screen and he was shocked as that particular section expanded.
[Spirit points (sixth class): 260,800,034/325,550,000]
'Ah, these numbers are quite huge.' Jude immediately dismissed the screen. Seeing such large numbers made his head spin for some reason.
Three items appeared before him and he picked up the first two which seemed like opposites of each other. The first was a ring which was orange in colour with a small snake head designed piece of metal on it.
[Item - Flame ring of demolition]
[Rank - Fifth class item]
[Description: Formed from the core of Bo, the flame serpent of Amazon, this ring can grant the user the power of the flames which demolishes nearly everything at sight.]
[Usage - 20 minutes of control everyday.]
'I've never been this lucky. Nima and Bo weren't killed by me so I didn't get any notifications but I'm getting rewards for them.' Collins grinned.
'Those two were at Sixth rank. To get an item higher than the rank of the monster I killed, it must be sheer luck.' Collins looked to the other ring which had a blueish metal which was cold to touch.
The ring had a small blue pearl inside the flat top of the ring which glowed when he wore it.
[Item - Frost ring of Glaciers]
[Rank - Fifth class]
[Description: Forged from the heart of Nima, the amazonians serpent of ice, the ring gives the wielder control over frost fire.]
[Usage - 40 minutes per day]
"Huh? Why 40 minutes for frost and 20 minutes for flames?" He mumbled as he looked at the details on the screen in front of him.
'Maybe it's the quality.' Collins shrugged it off and then he picked up the most important and most sought out item of this apocalypse.
'A golden ticket!!' Collins had to stand up as he looked at the golden card in his hand which was golden and bland and had a yellow glowing border which really made it seem mystical.
As he even moved his hand the ticket let out a whistling sound as it left a trail of golden light which had a delay before the light totally vanished.
[Golden ticket: Your chance to go to heaven's tower and gear up for what's coming next.]
Ever since humans had heaven's tower, things were going easy for a lot of people after they killed a few monsters and got heaven's tower points.
Now that humans loft freedom to the tower, the golden ticket is no doubt, now the most wanted item all around the world.
Collins didn't rush it now and finally checked his adaptation.
[Adapt to Gaze of terror.]
[Yes] | [No]
Tapping yes, Collins began to feel a slight burning sensation in his head and then he felt a pile of information enter into his head and his eyes widened.
Bascar growled as it saw Collins' expression changing rapidly and then Collins just came back to himself.
[Adaptation - Gaze of terror]
[Description: Eyes that harness the power of fear in any creature. This power can leave enemies wide open at times for a deadly strike from the owner.]
Collins' pupils glowed a bright white colour and his scelera turned black as his pupil became a slit like a snake's eyes.
"So this power is what I felt when I looked into Rava's eyes?" Collins mumbled as he remembered the snake's gaze and he chuckled as he sat down to eat.
Bascar already ran off and was dragging the black snake's body towards him.
...
The battle between a god and divine beasts took place in Amazon today, and not only was the creatures of the island aware that Rava was dead, but also the creature of the seas.
From below the island into the sea, red blood leaked into the ocean in massive amounts, coloring the waters for miles and miles to come.
Meanwhile Collins just sat down there, using his flame ring to roast him some meat and then cooling it with his frost ring.
After eating that night, Collins closed his eyes and rested on Bascar's body as he was about to enter the tower.
"If not because I trust you I would never close my eyes on this island." Collins said and Bascar just yawned, showing it's wide jaw, fangs and canines which looked extremely deadly.
Collins brought out the golden ticket from his pocket and then he looked a few miles away where a sword was pierced into the ground.
[Enter heaven's tower now]
[Yes] | [No]
Without wasting time Collins tapped Yes and then he instantly felt his eyes close and him leaving his body. He floated upwards and looked down to see his body and Bascar sleeping closely and then he suddenly shot towards the Earth's surface.
'I completely forget this feeling,' Collins thought with a smile. He completely forgot the feeling of astral projection.
'Nothing.' Collins thought as he broke through the Earth's surface and flew towards the sun.
Before, he could hear the sound of wind but he wasn't feeling it, cold, heat, nothing, it was like his entire body was numb or something.
He closed his eyes and blocked his eyes as the sun got too bright and then soon, he felt his page on a solid surface.
Collins opened his eyes to see the white road to the tower now having golden designs and patterns.
The golden tower itself remained the same and the multiple bridges leading to different ends were there too.
Collins walked towards the castle and he immediately went passed through the wall when he got close.
'Hm?' Collins raised a brow as he looked around and saw that the space still resembled a library.
"Welcome to heaven's tower... again." A bored voice came from the stairs by the end of the room and Collins walked towards the fairy.
