Let alone years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And though the angels were one of the strongest races in the game, Alex knew there were still variables at play, especially with races like the demons or minotaurs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's why he was prepared to step in and personally destroy the [Strongest Minotaur], the [King of the Elves or Dark Elves], and even the [Demon King] if it came to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now that his orders had been given, it was time to focus on the next objective, one that he had already planned in advance: the Towers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It made sense to do them now, especially because clearing them would take a significant amount of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, there was a good chance he could handle two other critical objectives while doing so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Find the \"Token of Wrath\" in the \"Tower of Wrath\".]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Find the \"Token of Nightmares\" in the \"Tower of Nightmares\".]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both were tied directly to the towers, but another key goal weighed on his mind too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Upgrade the \"Undead Lord\" talent to A-Rank, and use the \"Talent Upgrade Scroll\" to bring it to S-Rank before the \"Chosen Games\".]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That talent had fallen behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His summons were too weak now, far too outdated to keep up with what he was facing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the potential was still there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Somewhere within that class was a possibility, either a swarm of upgraded summons or one monstrously strong undead ally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they weren't strong enough to be useful long-term, they would still be assets against the [Lich], who was likely one of the strongest enemies during the Chosen Games.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lich, too, had power over the dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex needed every edge he could get.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After answering a few final questions from the angels and giving them a highly detailed location of the [Level 3 Demon City], a place he had marked ever since defending the [Fox Tribe Village], Alex finally pulled open his [World Map].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system had marked both the [Tower of Wrath] and the [Tower of Nightmares] earlier when he had asked about them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that info readily available, navigating to them was no longer an issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Strangely enough, one of the towers was actually quite close to Angel City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no reason to wait any longer, Alex unfurled his wings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two massive ones from his [Dragon Bloodline], and two brilliant white ones from his [Angel Blessing].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Together, they gave him the appearance of something no longer fully human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a powerful flap of all four wings, Alex launched into the sky, soaring upward before tilting forward and flying in the direction of the nearest tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no hesitation in his flight.
