Finally seeing that all those years of feeling like the growth of his stats stagnated once he hits the ceiling of the first floor is just the tower limiting his actual strength, with his stats growing quite a lot after all, Azrael couldn't help but feel even more satisfied, his expression all smiles as he navigates the guide and read through the information about the improved version of his Divine Restoration ability.
[Absolute Regeneration (EX-Rank Growth-type Active Skill Card)]
[Comprehending the nature of the blessing from the god of life and death and transcending its original strength, the possessor of this ability unlocks its full potential for growth, granting the possessor with an immortal, yet still destructible body that can regenerate even from the smallest of cellular remain, this process is now accelerated and will take at most half a day in order to completely recover from a single cell.

[Grants the possessor the ability to extremely accelerate the effects of any regeneration-type abilities and skills, including but not limited to body regeneration and also regeneration of all sorts of energy that can be stored in the body of its possessor]
Reading through the information of this newly acquired Absolute Regeneration, Azrael nods in extreme satisfaction as this new upgrade of the Divine Restoration is just what he had expected, and not only that, he also acquired a bonus that seems to be even better than the skill itself.
'I heard that those who reached the higher floors also managed to acquire all sorts of energy they can use… is this one of them? But what does that dormant mean?' reading the information about the Immortal Energy, the young man still got quite some questions that he knows he can't find the answers right now, which is also the reason why he thought that there's no need to dwell too much thought about it, comforting himself with the fact that he will eventually find out more about this in the future.
Returning to checking all of his gains, he finally lands his attention towards the other rewards that he got from defeating the Fortress Golem, items that the golem dropped after its death including skills and raw materials, the value of the both of them possibly enough to start a conflict between ascenders should they find out about them.

After checking through the loots he obtained, Azrael rejoices once again with his hand clenched into a fist, his expectations of the rewards completely surpassed as the skills alone are of pretty great use to him already, not to mention the materials he obtained being more than just a simple bonus, as he might be able to improve his equipment with them.
"Time to head to the Ascension Platform…" after finally packing up the loots and learning the skills, the young man finally decided to leave this place the contains a decade worth of memory for him, a place where he continuously improves himself steadily albeit slowly, a place that he would rather not return as it is in no way a fun experience to him.
Coming out of the cavern, Azrael was hit by the light of the day, and oddly enough, he couldn't help but feel like the world is a bit more colorful than usual, making him wonder whether this is just the effect of being quite happy for finally having the qualification to ascend the second floor of the tower.
Taking in a breath of fresh air, he then starts stretching his entire body, performing a set of movements in a practiced precision before he lets out a sigh of satisfaction, his figure transforming into a blur as he starts moving at an incredible speed, swiftly running through the land all while occasionally jumping from tree to tree swiftly, his movements something that no ascender of the first floor can ever imitate.
