Still, with the monster refusing to come out, Azrael feels like one way or another, the treasure on the second floor will be of an equal value, if not greater than the Ability Upgrade Card that he acquired once he defeated the Fortress Golem on the first floor.

Of course, being completely aware of the nature of the tower, where the higher the floor is, the harder the challenges are, and the harder the challenges are the more rewarding it is, Azrael already has an idea of this fact, only wondering to himself about such thing as he thought of his other ability's property.

'It's only a matter of whether I will hit the lucky chance once True Treasure Hunting triggers…' he thought to himself as he recalls his other ability's absurd nature of basically forcing him into a gambling, where winning will make it so that that treasure he acquires becomes even better than its initial state, and losing practically makes it so that the treasure turns into a half-unusable stuff.

'I need to deal with this thing still though…' as he looks at the massive sword wave that continues to wreak havoc across the stone mountain, the young man thought to himself with quite the wariness on his tone a she felt like this sort of attack will only serve to make his opponent angry at him, something that he pretty much expected already given how powerful these treasure guardians are.

"Come on, come out of your hiding now!!!" as he watches one of the mountain's peaks got completely obliterated by his attack, the young man then shouts with all his might waiting for anything to come out of the mountain made purely out of petrified dead bodies of the victims unfortunate enough to find themselves wondering near the domain of such monster.

As he waits for any signs of response, he once again opens the guide, searching for the description of the quest he is supposed to complete, feeling quite perplexed as different to the hidden quest that he had when he was facing the Fortress Golem, this one is a completely different quest albeit both of them being related to the greatest treasure of the floor they are in.

[Mountain Madness (Second Floor Prime Treasure Quest)]

[Far beyond where any ascender of the Ethereal Tower's Second Floor dares to explore, a towering mountain with most of its peaks piercing through the skies stood tall, a majestic sight due to it being made purely out of stone that is weathered by the harshness of time.

Rumors has it that every single rock that is located within this place, no matter the color, shape or form, are originally beings that are unfortunate enough to wander near this place, their entire bodies turning into stone the moment they do so, their lives slowly slipping away from themselves as they suffer from being between the state of life and death, completely aware and conscious as their bodies are turned into statues.]

[Mission: Discover the true nature of the monster causing this phenomenon and make it so that it no longer happen, no matter the cost.]

[Rewards: Completely depending on the contribution of the ascender to the quest. Grants the right to ascension to the tower's third floor to all participating ascender in the subjugation. In addition to the original potential rewards, due to the existence of the ability: True Treasure Hunting, completion of this quest will also grant the ascender a single reroll ticket.]

[Reroll Ticket]

[A ticket granted by the master of fate itself, changes even the very worse of situation into one filled with opportunities not only to improve oneself in a meager manner but also allow the user of this item to leap through the dragon gate to ascend to the heavens in one step. (Note that the one who created this item gravely exaggerates its description along with its true use.)]

[Effect/s: Tearing the ticket grants the ascender the right to reroll the multiplier given by the True Treasure Hunting, this also raises the possibility of acquiring a better multiplier than the previous one by five percent.]

After reading through everything as he still waits for any response, Azrael felt like it has already been some good quarter an hour or so despite the fact that it wasn't even a few minutes had passed since his massive attack changes the landscape of this place, this action of his seemingly provoking the treasure guardian lurking in this floor as a black figure reveals itself ascending from the depth of the mountains.

'That is…' seeing the appearance, the stature of the monster that he is about to face, the young man couldn't help but frown as contrary to his original expectation, or possibly even belief that these treasure guardians should all be towering monsters intimidating enough to suppress anyone else through sheer terror alone, this monster's appearance makes it far more troublesome for him to fight against this monster than fighting against the fortress golem.

Standing just a little bit taller than some of the tallest humans, its height reaching almost eight feet tall, the young man couldn't help but wonder just what sort of existence it is that is guarding the second floor's prime treasure, this being not done with its grand appearance yet as gradually, multiple arms start growing from its sides before it starts emitting a golden light, making it appear like a benevolent buddha had it not been for the murderous intent filling its eyes, its amount something that might be enough to fill the entire area itself.

[Detected a progress in the Second Floor Prime Treasure Quest: Mountain Madness]

[Detected the nature and identity of the monster guarding the prime treasure of the second floor…]

As he reads through these two messaged that popped out of nowhere via the guide, Azrael couldn't help but pause for a while as his eyes widened, reeling in quite the disbelief as he read through the nature of the monster he is about to face.
