The 8 Rings of Zest!

I'm approaching the servants and ask,

"Mister Rolec, who is this Master you guys always said?"

Rolec replies,

"We can't tell you that. We are not allowed to say our master's name."

I ask,

"Hmm, is your master on the 100th floor?"

Rolec replies,

"Yes, our master lives on the 100th floor."

I nodded and left. Since we are free for 2 days, I don't want to waste my time doing anything useless. I'm going to meditate until lunch is ready.

The food is ready and we all eat lunch together. Agmuzan ask Kiel,

"Miss Kiel, what kind of terrifying spell did you use earlier?"

Kiel replies,

"Ohh.. that was my unique spell called Ice Tear, it's a doom class spell from this rod I found in the cave from killing the Elder serpent, I named my rod Briyzkiel. This is a Divine Arcana quality rod, and nobody can use this rod except me."

Kiel lends Briyzkiel to Agmuzan and the others. As Kiel said, nobody can cast a spell with that. So if anyone tries to steal it from her, it's useless.

2 days have passed, and we have been here for a week. If everything is going to be harder, it will take us a few weeks or even a month. Kiel surprisingly mastered Persuade in less than 2 months. So, after we did preparing ourselves, we continue exploring the Tower.

One week has passed, and we are on the 70th floor. We took a lot of breaks. As I expected, the guardians way stronger and faster. Agmuzan's and Moglod's teams can no longer keep up with the monster's strength, some of them barely alive. Sorenamu's team still can handle them without a problem. But with just them and our team, it's exhausting. The guardian we fought on the 70th floor is a giant Chimera. Everyone is exhausted and planning to rest here for 2 days.

12 days have passed, and we are on the 80th floor. The guardian is a Hydra, it took us an hour to even kill that. Also, chimeras are on every floor now, and we barely made it here. We took daybreak on every floor because it was exhausting. Agmuzan's and Moglod's teams can do nothing at all, so they became our backups. Sorenamu's team now can no longer keep up with the monsters and guardian's strength. Vivi and I finally mastered Persuade, I can feel the overwhelming power after I followed the white strings and obtained a white orb while meditating. Next is Deceive, and Tessera said that the string's color is dark purple-red. It will be a lot harder to follow them, so we need a lot of concentration when meditating.

10 days later. We reached the 90th floor, luckily there's no guardian on this floor. A fancy room like on the 51st floor, The Servants is here with us again. From 81st to 89th floors, everyone's attacks and magics are no longer affect the monsters, except for me, Kiel, Zee, Den, and Vex. We did all the work. Sorenamu says,

"We can't make it to the 99th floor. We all are depending on Mister Zee's team too much. I hate to admit it, but it's best for the rest of us to leave the Tower through the servants. They will send us back to the 1st floor."

They all nod. Agmuzan says,

"We can't believe you guys are only Advanced Ranks. You guys at least Insane or even Wicked Ranks. But thanks to you, we managed to reach the 90th floor, and of course, it showed us how much power that we need to reach this floor. We are unworthy to even step our foot in this floor, so like Sorenamu's said. We will leave the Tower tomorrow."

Moglod says,

"Yeah, this is it for us. We are satisfied with this, and Mister Zee... We believe you guys can reach the 99th floor, so when you face the butler. Tell us everything, we would love to hear it from you guys! We all very lucky to have you guys with us."

Zee replies,

"Mister Sorenamu, Mister Agmuzan, Mister Moglod. Thank you for carrying us from the 1st floor, and we will meet you guys at the pub soon and we will talk and drink all night."

We bow to show our gratitude to them for carrying us and allowing us to join their team. We spent 2 days here. Agmuzan, Moglod, Sorenamu, and their teams left early in the morning with Rolec. Now it's just 9 of us, and we will continue exploring the Tower later in the afternoon. Zee says,

"Val, Vivi, Kiel. Are you guys still can handle the monsters?"

I reply,

"Honestly Mister Zee, We don't know yet. But we still want to continue, and we already reach this far. It's kinda waste to give up now."

Edith says,

"Not with that equipment. You know the story of Zest the Death Spreader right?"

Edith and are staring at each other and she continues,

"I guess it's okay to lend him one of your Rings, right Zee?"

Zee nod and removed his gloves. We see the legendary 8 Rings on his fingers, and he says,

"I'll show you all my weapons, and you can choose which one do you want,

1. Ring of Permafrost's Rapier. Left index finger.

2. Ring of Zephyr's Axe. Left middle finger.

3. Ring of Spark's Spear. Left ring finger.

4. Ring of Grime's Halberd. Left pinky finger.

5. Ring of Void's Scythe. Right index finger.

6. Ring of Depth's Sword. Right middle finger.

7. Ring of Hearth's Dagger. Right ring finger.

8. Ring of Radiance's Bow. Right pinky finger.

So which one do you want to try?"

My eyes are glimmering with joy. The Rapier is so thin and long, it's glowing light blue and steaming cold. Zee said, every single attack from this rapier will make an absolute clean-cut, no matter how hard or strong, it will make a clean cut, and freeze the target when hit. I tried to pick it up, but it's too heavy and I can't even swing it.

The Axe is too big for me. It's glowing light green, and it's vibrating like crazy. Zee said, if I'm holding the Axe, I can control the winds by my imagination, and cut everything I want. He said the Axe can even create a massive tornado equal to calamity class spell, and destroy everything.

The Spear with feathers at the bottom of the blade and the blade is thin and sharp. It's glowing bright yellow and sparkles around the blade. Zee said that the Spear can do projectile attacks with lightning, also it can control the weather and create a lightning storm equal to the calamity class spell.

The Halberd's blade is thick yet it's thin on the edges, its blade looks dark. Zee said, it can create an earthquake and control the ground, like creating spikes, walls, or even move the ground like water but as solid as a mountain.

The Scythe with the blade on the bottom, and a wide blade with pitch-black color and so shiny that it reflects everything like it's sucking all the reflection inside the blade. It's glowing dark and black smoke covering its blade, Zee didn't tell me the details of the Scythe because he said it's a secret. He forbid me to pick the Scythe.

The Sword with a unique carving on the blade and flowing water like a sea inside the blade. It's glowing like sapphire and it's coated with water. Zee said that the water's sharpness is limitless, the faster the water spinning, the sharper it gets. Of course, it can release an infinite amount of water and shaped like the blade, and can be adjusted as long/wide/sharp as I want.

The Dagger with a unique shape. It's glowing dark red and it looks like a solidify fire. Zee said this dagger is too dangerous for me because a single cut or hit from this dagger will melt anything and it will not stop until there is nothing left.

A white-colored wood Bow, with a glowing gold string. Zee said the bow doesn't require an arrow to shoot, and it will spawn a light-shaped arrow when I pull the string. The speed of the arrow is impossibly fast, he said it's faster than the speed of light, also it can penetrate anything easily and with a massive destruction power.

I reply,

"I'll take the sword, Mister Zee. But is it alright?"

Zee shrugs and says,

"Yeah, if Edith said so then it's alright. But after we are done here. I'll ask Shive to train you with her full power as the price."

I laughed nervously and hope he's joking. Edith says,

"Well since you're holding a Godly Weapon, you can clear the rest of the floors alone."

I reply,

"Uhh... I don't know if I could, but I'll try."

Vivi and Kiel cheer me up and believe in me. We go up to the 91st floor, and all the guardians from each floor are here. I unsheathed the Depth's Sword, and ready my stance. Zee says,

"Use your imagination to control the sword. Imagine a water whirlwind, and imagine that water is spinning as fast as you can, but focus on the sword."

I do as Zee told. Suddenly the water spinning so fast that, it's no longer visible on the sword. I'm charging in and slash the monster like it was nothing, not just I cut the monster but when it hits the body, the body gets twisted and sucked to the water flow on the sword. In less than 5 minutes, I killed all the guardians. The guardians that took us a lot of time to kill, now it's just died in one hit.
