SSS-Rank Awakening: My Talent Multiplies Everything novel Chapter 214

Chapter 214: Floor Invasion [2.]

"Fuck."

Kael stared at the crimson notification hovering before him, his expression darkening as he read the words again, a floor invasion. The instruction to prepare to defend himself was enough to make it obvious that whatever was coming wasn’t going to be pleasant.

He was still in relatively good physical condition after the battle, but his mana reserves were already sitting at roughly half their original capacity.

Several of his abilities were also unavailable.

Shadow Between Steps had only three uses remaining, and three of his Void Echoes had already been destroyed, so entering another fight in this condition would already place him at a considerable disadvantage.

Unfortunately, the Tower didn’t seem particularly interested in his concerns.

The gloomy bone-filled yard suddenly lit up.

A brilliant golden radiance descended from above, flooding the entire area with warm light. Against the crimson sky and the countless bones scattered throughout the battlefield, the sight should have been almost heavenly.

For Kael, however, it felt like the exact opposite. His eyes immediately locked onto the source of the light, his body instinctively tensing as he watched the golden radiance gather into a single point.

The light slowly began to dissipate.

A figure emerged from within it.

Kael’s eyes narrowed.

The newcomer was a small, compact man with a shaved head and a remarkably serene face. He wore charcoal-colored robes with saffron-colored patches around the shoulders, while several strings of prayer beads were wrapped around his left wrist.

He looked like a monk.

Kael stared at him for several seconds.

To be honest, this wasn’t what he had expected when the Tower announced an invader.

He had imagined someone rugged and battle-worn, perhaps a scarred veteran covered in equipment and carrying the unmistakable presence of someone who had spent years fighting their way through the Tower. Instead, the man standing before him looked like the kind of trusted adult children would happily accept candy from without a second thought.

The monk simply stood there.

Calm.

Peaceful.

Almost harmless.

That somehow made Kael even more uncomfortable.

Before he could examine the man further, another notification appeared before his eyes.

[Floor Invasion has been initiated.]

[Assessing overall situation...]

Kael’s attention immediately returned to the screen.

[It has been detected that the Invader is more than 10 Floors above the Invaded.]

Kael’s eyebrow twitched.

[It has been detected that the Invader is more than 20 Floors above the Invaded.]

His expression changed.

"How’s that even fair?"

He wasn’t stupid enough to think of himself as an ordinary challenger. His strength was already far beyond what someone on his current floor should possess, and he had repeatedly proven capable of defeating opponents who should have been considerably stronger than himself.

But there was a difference between being an irregular and fighting someone who was several floors ahead of you.

Ten floors was already troublesome.

Twenty was ridiculous.

Yet the notification continued.

[It has been detected that the Invader is more than 30 Floors above the Invaded.]

Kael’s face slowly stiffened.

[It has been detected that the Invader is more than 40 Floors above the Invaded.]

His eyes widened slightly.

[It has been detected that the Invader is more than 50 Floors above the Invaded.]

The corner of Kael’s mouth twitched.

"Surely that’s enough."

The notification ignored him.

[It has been detected that the Invader is more than 60 Floors above the Invaded.]

Kael went completely silent.

Then another line appeared.

[It has been detected that the Invader is under 70 Floors above the Invaded.]

Kael stared at the screen.

Under seventy floors.

His mind went blank for a moment as he processed the implications.

He was currently on Floor 20.

That meant the man standing before him could potentially be somewhere beyond Floor 80.

"That’s ridiculous."

There wasn’t even enough emotion in his voice to make it sound like a complaint anymore.

This wasn’t a difficult fight.

This was a joke.

Kael’s gaze shifted toward the monk.

The man still hadn’t moved.

If this person had truly reached a floor somewhere beyond eighty, then he had survived and conquered a massive portion of the Tower. And if he was climbing through Hell Difficulty as well, then his achievements became even more absurd. Hell Difficulty wasn’t something just anyone could casually clear.

This was completely unfair. What was he even supposed to do exactly? 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
