nThe first round was still on-going so Athan sat down and started comprehending the intents while Tiana also decided to sit in meditation to gain a deeper understanding of her Lightning Inferno Intent.

nAfter 3 hours, Athan comprehended Water Intent to Intermediate level.

nAfter 7 hours, Athan comprehended Lightning Intent to Intermediate level.

nAfter 10 hours, Athan comprehended Wood Intent to Intermediate Level.

nEach time before starting to comprehend the Intent, Athan would grab Elemental energy and turn it into its primal form before studying it. For example, right now he had dark energy hovering in his hand and he was closely feeling and studying it, Like its effects, its properties, etc.

nAfter studying it for an hour, He closed his eyes and sent his consciousness to the deepest part of the whirlpool before starting to comprehend the Dark intent according to his understanding of the dark element.

nAfter 2 hours, He comprehended the Elementry Level of Dark intent and after another 4 hours, He comprehended the Intermediate Level of Dark Intent.

nHe also tried to continue comprehending the Advance Level but Laksel was right, It was impossible to comprehend Advance Level before stepping into Origin Intent Plane because after reaching an intermediate level in various Intents, He would feel as if he was blocked, Like when you are walking on a road but after walking for a while you suddenly hit a dead end.

nTo remove this dead end, He would have to be baptized by the origin.

nSo moving on, He opened his eyes after comprehending the intermediate level of Dark Intent and started studying Light energy, He had never created any Light Element spells because he did not understand the element but now that he understands, he was planning to create a powerful spell of light element.

nAfter 9 hours, He also comprehended the Intermediate Level of Light Intent and decided to create a healing spell of Light element.

nThe healing spell is straightforward, The light energy itself contains healing properties and he just has to control the compression rate of energy and the amount of energy.

nHe decided that the spell will in the form of motes, The small light motes with a concentrated amount of Light energy, Thus its name would be .

nThe Light element's other specialty is that it has high resistance against other elements except for dark elements but it also works well against Dark elements, In short, Both Dark and Light elements are nemesis of each other.

nAfter studying Both Light and Dark energies, Athan found out that the Light element has high resistance against other elements except for the dark element while the Dark element has the effect of weakening other elements except for the light element.

nOpening his eyes, Athan thought, ' Now I have comprehended Intermediate Intent of Fire, Air, Wood, Earth, Water, Lightning, Dark and Light, And the only one left to comprehend is Space Intent. '

nHe then looked at the Timewatch he created using Mystic Energy inside his Mystic Realm and found out that 26 hours have passed.

n' Well let's hope the round continues until I finish comprehending space Intent. '

nHe barely entered into deep meditation for half an hour before he had to stop.

nAn announcement reverberated everywhere along with a big display in the sky.

n The First round is officially over, The 2nd round will start after an hour.

nAthan heard the announcement and thought, ' Looks like this is it for now, As I won't be able to comprehend the intermediate level of Air intent in an hour. '

nTiana also opened her eyes hearing the announcement.

nLooking at her, Athan asked,

" Did you have any gains?

"

nTiana nodded with a smile and said,

" I feel like I will soon be able to comprehend the Intermediate Level of Lightning Inferno Intent, Also I think that my power has increased due to reaching a deeper level of understanding in Lightning Inferno Intent.

"

n

" That's good. Anyway, Let's just wait now as one hour will pass by soon.

"

n...

n...

n It's time for the 2nd round.

n The 2nd round this time is Challenge Tower, To pass this round one needs to at least pass floor 30. Those who can not pass floor 30 will be eliminated and sent back to their home via teleportation.

n Those who pass floor 30 will get 10 points. After that, you can continue to challenge the next floors for more points so do your best.

n The 2nd round starts in 10 seconds.

nAs soon as the countdown hit 0, Athan arrived in a round room, The room was not too small but also not too big. It was around 25m in diameter.

nJust as he was wondering what is the challenge about, A BBC appeared in front of him.

nA Big Black Crab, 2 meters tall and 4-meter wide with menacing pincers and big eyes.

nAs soon as it appeared, It opened its mouth and released a jet of black water.

nHe dodged it easily before doing a long jump towards it. Arriving on its back, He gave a solid punch and defeated it easily.

nAfter it disappeared, The floor he was on elevated and he appeared in another round room.

nThis time, Two wolves appeared in front of him as they both charged towards Athan while barring sharp fangs but they were also defeated easily.

nHe did not use any energy and he was not planning to use energy unless necessary because if he wants to reach higher floors then he has to tread carefully and save energies as he is not given any break time after passing floors.

nOn the 20th floor, He finally used the first spell.

nThe enemy was a light element turtle that had high defensive stats and ability and it also released earth boulders which were no joke so Athan decided to end it by using < Dark Bubbles> on it.

nAfter comprehending Intents, His spells clearly became very powerful.

nIn the subsequent floors, Athan had to use one or more spells depending on the enemy, Fortunately, his spell's attack power was enough to defeat enemies in one hit otherwise he would possibly have to use more energies.

nThe enemy on the 27th Floor which looked like a silver sparrow proved to be quite troublesome because it was too fast.

nIts size was the same as normal vultures found in his previous life, From the magical beast he had seen so far, This sparrow was the smallest.

nBut even tho it was small, It was just too fast and it also released spatial blades that were making slashes on Athan's body that were proving to be troublesome so he also put up a to block them.

n

" The problem now is how to kill that sparrow, I just need to hit it once and it will be defeated but I've already wasted a and a but couldn't hit it.

"

nAfter thinking for a few seconds, He suddenly remembered a spell that he had not used in a long time or actually never used after successfully making a spell rune of it.

nNodding his head, Athan thought, ' Hmmm, It will definitely work. '

n

nA tornado formed in front of him and rapidly increased in size as Athan poured more energy into it.

nAfter a few seconds, The tornado got big enough to cover 75% of the room's space which caused trouble to the sparrow's flying ability.

nAfter defeating the sparrow, Athan didn't encounter any troublesome magical beast like that and smoothly reached floor 30.

nOf course, he had to use spells on those floors too because otherwise, they would prove to be troublesome, His body alone is not enough to deal with those beasts as his body's stats are capped at 10

/10.

nPresently on the 30th floor, Athan's opponent finally appeared.

nIt was a monkey...with normal human size, brown fur, and black wings.

nAs soon as it appeared, It waved both of its hands and two dark blades shot towards Athan at a fast speed.

nAthan also unfolded from his back as he dodged the attack.

nHis control over the maneuver became a bit better after comprehending Lightning Intent and Air Intent, But he felt that he had more control over his Lightning wing than Air wing which was an obvious fact.

nAthan didn't dilly dally and summoned But instead of throwing it, he dashed towards the monkey with the spear in hand.

nThe monkey ran away while releases dark blades, But Athan put up a on himself and soon caught up to the money and threw the spear when he was sure that it would hit the monkey.

n*swoosh*

nThe monkey got hit by the spear and it was paralyzed thus sealing its fate.

n Congratulations! You have passed the 30th floor along with the 2nd round.

n Reward: 10 points.

n You will be transported to the 31st floor in 5 seconds to continue the challenge. Do your best.

nAs soon as he arrived on the 31st floor, A display appeared in front of him along with a monotone voice.

n To pass this floor, Use a spell with an Attack unit of at least 200 on the rock in front of you.

n

" oh, looks like the format of challenge changed, Will it be the same in the next round?

" muttering this, He looked In front of him and saw a white square rock.

nAfter thinking for a moment, He summoned a and threw it towards the white rock with his full power.

n*Phtisss*

nThe spear hit the rock and dissolved, But after that, a screen appeared on top of the rock which displayed a number.

n Attack Power: 104

n' I see...'
