My Idle Gaming System-Chapter 39: Relentless Advancement! II

Noah found a tall building that served as a temporary tavern and lodging for Blessed and other important beings, swallowing his pride as even after being kicked out of his childhood home, he told himself to persevere as he first grew stronger.

When he achieved Silver and even GOLD Rank as he led Rift Bosses at the same stage, would anyone be able to hinder him from where he wanted to go?!

He let the wrath foster in his heart as he and the two girls appeared in front of the front desk of the tall building that was called The Elegant Pearl Inn. A Blessed with the insignia of a bloody crown and sword smiled towards them as this force had already begun to take over everything to do with City 8.

"One Iron core per night, with dinner and breakfast costing 2 Iron Cores."

The Blessed spoke with a smile as ugly prices that would cause common Blessed to go penniless within days were heard, Noah simply pulling iron cores from a satchel he had on his side.

"Two-"

He was about to ask for two rooms, one for him and another for the two girls, but they pulled on his hands at the same time as he turned to look at them. He saw their eyes as he knew the two girls still held a tinge of fear in their hearts, and they did not want to be separated a few hours after witnessing cruelty and not yet understanding how the conquerors of this city would act towards them in the days to come.

"One room, with meals for three for dinner and breakfast."

He three a bunch of Iron Cores on the table as the eyes of the Blessed shone with a smile, looking towards Noah as his eyes looked over the two girls beside him up and down.

"What a lucky guy you are, huh?"

Noah kept his cold expression as he grabbed the room key, the three of them going up the stairs of the Elegant Pearl Inn as they finally entered a wide room with a single bed and a small couch, as well as a small bathroom on the side.

"You two get a chance to relax."

He spoke towards the two tired girls that were emotionally and physically exhausted as he sat on the small couch and was lost in his thoughts.

The two girls went to freshen up as they soon fell asleep from exhaustion, Noah remaining the only one awake in the room as his now cold eyes opened the Idle Gaming System Interface.

He was reminding himself over and over again of ruthlessness and the fear he felt as he replayed the scenes of his mother and father dying in front of his eyes. He did not want to forget the scene as he made sure to remind himself every few minutes!

He saw six boxes that represented six rifts, three shining with a gray light as the other three shone with a bronze light. He clicked on all the Iron Rifts as he collected the Loot Resources after another 24 hours.

[+975 Idle Exp][+2700 Iron Rank Cores][+60 Blazing Armor][+61 Blazing Spear][+59 Frost Shield][+64Frost Sword][+57Frost Boots][+70 Verdant Shield][+62 Verdant Armor][+67 Verdant Helm][+89 Iron Rank Minotaur Shard][+93 Iron Rank Mammoth Shard][+101 Iron Rank Verdant Treant Shard][+5400 Iron Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals]

A shocking amount of loot after having cleared the Rifts to an average of 24 minutes, but they didn't bring the same feeling of wonder to Noah anymore as he looked at the calculatingly while planning ahead!

He waited for 24 hours to pass before he collected the loot resources from the 3 Bronze Rifts for the first time, as he planned to use the Iron Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals to make more Bronze Beasts.

From the Idle Rewards and Climbing the Tower of Champions, he now had enough to bring 4 Units to the peak of Iron and fuse two new beasts!

He looked at the two resting girls as he didn't go to sleep himself, a light of spatial energy wrapping around him as he disappeared.

SHAA!

Silence returned into the room as the two girls that were 'sleeping' rose up, their eyes glimmering with shock after seeing Noah disappear into thin air!

In the Tower of Champions, Noah pulled out the Light Wisp and Golden Sunflower as he pumped the Iron Rank Upgrade Crystals into them, enhancing their strength into the peak.

[Two Units match the requirements for fusion and evolution. Start the process?]

"Begin."

His cold voice lingered in the waiting room of the Tower as a flash of light erupted in front of him, a new Bronze Beast appearing in front of his eyes!

[Illusory Willow] :: A rare creature consisting of the light and earth element. It has strong immunity to physical damage as it is proficient in the [Grand Heal], [Grand Enhancement], and [Rejuvenating Aura] abilities.

A powerful Healing Unit came to be as Noah went ahead and summoned another Iron Verdant Treat from the Idle Loot resources he had just obtained. He brought this creature upto to peak iron as well, having the choice to pump the Earth Golem next and combine them both. Being of similar elements, he didn't see why not as the scene from earlier repeated, the Earth Golem and Treat being fused as another Bronze Unit was born!

[Elder Stone Treant] :: A creature with a unique physiology that is hard to damage even by Peak Bronze beings. It is proficient in the abilities of [Vine Field], [All Around Protection], and [Stone Throw] abilities.

Just like that, two new Bronze units were born, Noah seeing both of them leaning towards the earth element as when he collected enough Bronze Rank Upgrade Crystals from the next floors of the Tower and through the Idle Resources in 24 hours, he wanted to see if he could combine them or the Yeti and Fiery Chimera to make a SILVER Rift Boss!

His gaze was filled with a terrifying light as the scene of him kneeling was played again and again, putting himself through enormous mental torture to punish himself for his actions as he summoned the Yeti and Fiery Chimera.

With 4 Bronze Rift bosses by his side, he delved into the 16th floor of the Tower as he went towards the 20th!

It was the same scorching hot desert environment from the 16th to the 19th Floor, Noah coming across Desert Scorpions, Worms, and Snakes in varying sizes as gradually, the numbers of those in Iron Rank began to thin out.

By the 19th Floor, every creature he faced was in the Bronze Rank as they moved in pairs, Noah working in conjunction with his four Bronze Units as the Yeti and Chimera were the Damage Dealers, the Illusory Willow acting as the healer while the Elder Stone Treat gave support as it used its numerous vines to restrict the movements of enemy mobs while the damage dealers pummeled them to the ground.

He aced through the four flours as each of them gave similar rewards.

[Rewards for clearing the 19th Floor] :: [+2000 Iron Rank Equipment Upgrade Crystals], [+2000 Iron Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals], [+50 Random Iron Rank Unit Shards], [+2000 Iron Rank Cores], [+50 Bronze Rank Cores] , [+2 Random Bronze Equipment], [+1000 BRONZE Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals], [+10 Health Potions], [+10 Mana Potions]

Adding up the 1000 BRONZE Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals he received on the past four floors and the 2000 from the exclusive reward of clearing the 15th floor, he had 8000 that he had chosen to pump the powerful Greensplains Yeti with as its power in the BRONZE Stage was currently terrifying!

Yet its counter before it could fully be fused remained at 8000/10,000 as Noah needed just 2,000 more to max it.

If things went like this, it meant the rewards for the 20th Floor would get him a max Bronze Unit as he would have to clear either the next 5 or 10 floors to gain enough Bronze Upgrade Crystals for him to fuse SILVER Rift Boss!

The dream of doing so was actually not too far away!
