"Ouch! That really hurts. It wasn't my intention to run disappear. How come I am blamed for this?" Mike muttered as he covered his cheeks. He couldn't believe he was slapped by her. But, he couldn't make a move against her either.

He could only complain inside his heart.

"It's your fault for disappearing without giving me a chance." Thorn Princess shouted as her cheeks blushed fiercely.

"Wow! That's something new." Seeing her blushing face, Mike couldn't help but tease her.

"You got that right. I never thought icy cold beauty Thorn Princess can blush." Max nodded his head in shock. He was indeed shocked. He looked turned his head and looked at Mike, giving him a thumbs-up.

Suddenly, he felt the cold glare from the cold beauty. His skin trembled as he shifted his head to the other side and whistled.

Hearing their words, Bing Lan narrowed her eyes as she looked at Thorn Princess. She felt a huge threat from this princess. The same goes for Thorn Princess, she also felt a huge threat from Bing Lan.

Both looked at each other and lightning sparkled between them. Mike looked at them and sighed "Can we settle this later? We seriously need to clear this tower soon. I have to get out of this Lightning Spirit World."

"Are you in such urgency?" Bing Lan glanced at Mike and asked. She never thought Mike was trying to cross this for the reason to leave this world.

"Yes, I have something to attend in Zhen Xu Continent. That's why we need to reach as much high as we can faster." Mike spoke.

Hearing his words, Thorn Princess remained silent for a moment. Bing Lan nodded her head and led them to the stairs of the second floor. On the way, they discussed a bit and soon reached the staircase.

"What do you think we will face? Crazy Gorillas or Fire Breathing Dragon?" Max excitedly asked as he jumped on the stairs. Everyone looked at him and shook their hands.

"Don't jinx us!"

"Hey, it's not like there will be Crazy Gorillas and Fire Breathing Dragon," Max yelled as he climbed the stairs behind everyone else.

Half an hour later,

Roar! Bang! Bang! Bang!

"We said, don't jinx us." Everyone shouted at Max as they saw the dozens of gorillas slamming their chests and rushing towards them. Each of them had ten feet tall height and seven feet wide body. Each time they slammed their fists on the ground, everything shook.

"I think we should send Max this time. It would be a gorilla against another gorilla." Mike folded his head arms and suggested.

"That's pretty reasonable! It would be a good match-up and we can see which gorilla can win. By the way, I want to place my bets on the real gorilla." Sword Demon nodded his head and spoke.

"Since you are placing the bets on real gorilla, I will be generous enough to put my bet on Max." Then, Mike turned his head to Max and said "I'm putting all of my wealth on you. Win for me!""You guys aren't serious about this, are you?" Max looked at them and asked. Hearing his question, Mike and Sword Demon smirked at each other.

A few seconds later,

"You guys? I seriously think this is not a good idea. I won't be able to stay alive after thisssss." Max shouted as he felt his leg getting pulled by a gorilla.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

"You guys are enjoying this, aren't you?" Thorn Princess speechlessly looked at Mike and Sword Demon watching the battle wearing sunglasses.

A minute later,

Max stood in front of Mike and Sword Demon with his eyes turned blue. His body was full of bruises and the entire head was burning with pain.

"You guys are so cruel." Max painfully uttered those words as he stood in front of them. It was only thanks to Thorn Princess that he was able to successfully escape the gorilla's beating.

"I guess, you win the bet," Mike said as he walked towards the gorilla.

"You did great. Now, he has to get us the helmets" Sword Demon patted his shoulder and said.

"You were betting on helmets. Wait, doesn't that mean we can cultivate here as well?" Max suddenly felt energetic as he puts his hands on Sword Demons' shoulder and asked.

"Yeah! But, we still have to wait until we get out of this world." Sword Demon nodded his head.

Thorn Princess also got those worlds and asked "You mean we can enter Ascending to Godhood from here."

During their walk to the staircase, she had already asked a lot about this world and know some basic things about this world. So, she never considered Ascending to Godhood to be a part of this world. Yes, and he is probably going to level up after this battle.

As he said, the battle ended with Mike winning. It was completely dominated especially with the help of his new weapons. There were nearly twelve gorillas, each of them giving him fifteen thousand EXP. He instantly reached the fifth stage as he clicked on yes.

"I think I need to hunt more monsters so that I can improve faster." Mike thought for a moment and nodded his head. He walked towards Bing Lan and asked "Do you think we can find more monsters? I think it would be a good idea to improve my strength here before entering the next floor."

"After all, each floor is difficult than the previous floor."

Bing Lan touched her chin and thought for a moment."I guess, you are right. Since you can increase your realm by killing monsters, we can wander around and kill more monsters. But, wouldn't that delay you?"

Hearing her questions, Mike seriously realized his problem and thought more. Finally, he decided to stay more and earn EXPs. He wanted to improve his cultivation as soon as he can.

At the same time,

"Lucas, run away! I will hold this monster." Olive shouted as the claw of the wolf slammed at her back. She stumbled a few times and fell to the ground.

"Don't be stupid! I can't face Mike if I leave you alone." Lucas shouted as he gritted his teeth filled with blood and stood up. His chest was bleeding and he had lost one of his arms. He was holding the sword in another arm.

"And, do you think Mike can face Lauren if you die? She has already lost one of her brothers. She has only you to live. Don't make Mike's life difficult. You can't fight or help me. Just run away!" Olive shouted as she stood up while supporting herself in her legs.

The wounds on her body were healing fast but she didn't have much stamina to keep up. But as soon as she stood up, the wolf struck her once again.

Ding!

Suddenly, the wolf moved its claw above her and tried to slam it on her face. But, a sword appeared beneath its claw and blocked it.

"Ahhh! Go away!" Lucas swings the sword with all of his strength and pushed the wolf back. He rushed towards Olive and said "I can't leave. But, you must leave. Lauren is my sister but she won't stay with me forever."

"Except for her, I have no one that I truly love. I don't have a burden on my shoulder. But, you do! Don't think about the future. We don't have the luxury for that. Just focus on saving yourself! Go away!"

Suddenly, Lucas caught her waist and throw her with every bit of his strength.

"Nooooooo!" Olive shouted with the tears gushing out of her eyes. She screamed as she tried to reach out but she couldn't.

Thud!

"Why? Why? WHY?" Olive slammed her hands on the ground and shouted. She didn't even care about the injuries she suffered during the fall.

Tap! Tap!

Suddenly, she heard the footstep. She raised her head and saw a man standing in front of her. At this moment, tears gushed out of her eyes as she shuttered "Please----- save him!"

"Ahh! I guess I can do it for his favor." A man caressed his hair and disappeared.

At this moment,

Lucas was facing the wolf while breathing hard.

'Am I going to die? I guess I can't conquer. It seems I can't get stronger than this. Damn! I hate it. I wanted to know. I wanted to see the world beyond swords. I want to reach the peak of the swordsmanship.'

'But now, I can't reach that step. I need to accept my death. But…..'

Lucas gritted his teeth and bites his lips. He gripped his sword and stood in a fighting stance even though his legs were trembling.

"Idiot, you can't expect to break through in the life and death situation at every moment of your life." Suddenly, a voice rang in his ear. Suddenly, dozens of silver metal appeared around the wolf and instantly formed a cage.

Roar!

The wolf roared but the man appeared behind Lucas and caught his waist. With lightning speed, he disappeared towards Olive.

"You owe me a big favor now, Mike!"
