Chapter 23 - BRONZE I
The 6th to 9th floor were relatively easy with the Greenplains Yeti at the helm, the remaining the dreary environment of Undead as they changed from Undead Skeletons to Undead Knights and Dullahans!
Every level was filled with over 100 common Iron mobs as well as 3-5 Rift Bosses, Noah tearing through them with ease as the Greenplains Yeti didn't even give the Golden Sunflower a chance to be injured and use its healing skills.
Noah ran in conjunction with his pets as the Yeti acted like a tank that tore through everything, a few hours passing by.
From the rewards of the 5th floor, Noah had gotten a [Paladin's Helm] for the Bronze Rank equipment. His head being washed by a comfortable white light as he ascended up the Tower. This made his body now be clad with 3 pieces of Bronze Equipment when he was still in the IRON Rank!
An overabundance of rewards greeted him from the 6th Floor, but his eyes didn't register on them as he was looking at the rewards for clearing the 10th floor.
[Rewards for clearing the 10th Floor] :: …[+1 Bronze Rank Equipment], [+25 Random Bronze Rank Unit Shards], [+25 Bronze Rank Cores],[+500 Bronze Rank Unit Upgrade Crystals][+5 Health Potions], [+5 Mana Potions]
A wondrous display of treasures he could obtain lay in front of his eyes, his heart particularly being drawn to the 25 Bronze Rank Cores!
Here he expected to have to go to the Blessed Academy to get his Blessed Licence first before he could begin descending into the Bronze Dimensional Rifts to collect Bronze Cores to increase his rank, never had he expected to get them through this new feature that was the Tower of Champions!
Many mysteries surrounded it and his Idle Gaming System, but he dared not even question it as he continued his own thing.
Among the rewards, there were also the Health and Mana potions that he knew were rarities to make in the Ethereal Realm, as well as Bronze Rank Upgrade Crystals for him to finally increase the strength of the Greenplains Yeti even further!
The enticing rewards made him not waste even a second as a man, a Sunflower, and an enormous Yeti flashed away to the 10th floor instantly!

While Noah pierced through the Tower, many things continued to occur in Academy City.
On this particular day under the cover of the night, a party of dark robed figures that counted over 10 in number silently entered the City.
They didn't leave any traces as they used the cover of the night to enter the Vibrant Forest that was a mile away from the Blessed Academy.
Even though they were robed, one could still see the glimmers of silver around them that represented a shocking level of power!
They sat in a circle in the dark forest where one could barely see another person a few feet away, but these Silver Rank experts could see around them as if it were day time.
"We'll be here very briefly, in and out. As soon as our mission is complete and we confirm the target, disperse!"
The leader of these beings voiced out with a gruff voice as the others nodded.
It was a fear inducing talk that had many implications, but the eyes of the robed Silver experts remained cold and merciless!
The leader's eyes shone with light as he looked to the dark skies while muttering something.
"Change is coming…"
RUMBLE!

The 10th floor was similar to the 5th as Noah found himself on a field of bones, but this time there was a single enemy in front of him.
To clear the 10th floor, one had to actually be strong enough to take down a Bronze Rank Rift Boss!
[The tenth level in the Tower of Champions has 1 Bronze Skeleton King that needs to be cleared.]
Noah had his own Rift Boss as a pet, the Yeti roaring towards the Skeleton King that had glorious red light shooting from its eyes while it wielded an enormous sword.
BOOM!
The charge of the Yeti was stopped by the Skeleton King, the Beast finally meeting someone on its own level as it didn't completely bulldoze its way through!
But would the Skeleton King truly be able to hold back a fused Rift Boss with 3 skills?
Noah didn't wait for the answer as he opened his inventory to use the 100 Random Iron Rank Unit Shards to summon another Unit, knowing his little old self could not get anywhere near a battle between two Bronze Rank Bosses unless he wanted his little life to be taken away.
The Golden Sunflower was swaying gently by the side as it provided a [Heal] when it saw the Sword of the Skeleton King drawing blood from the sturdy fur of the Yeti.
THRUM!
Energy fluctuations flew out as Noah's thoughts were heard, the Unit Shards in his Inventory disappearing as a brand new Unit materialized in front of his eyes.
[Earth Golem] :: A sturdy creature made up of stones, it can assemble and disassemble its body as it acts as a great protector. It has the [Stone Guard] and [Pristine Stone Armor] skills among its arsenal.
A new unit had entered the scene!
