Alter Dimension: Lucky Dungeon Master
Chapter 144 Trial Cleared, Trial Tower Achievement!

After deflecting Alex's knife, the dragon opened its mouth and breathed out blue fire!

Fwoosh!

The heat from its fire was so hot that it melted the sand, turning it into glass.

Seeing that, Alex said, "What? Just because you transformed and managed to defend against my attack, you're acting so confident now?"

"Don't worry, I'll let you suffer soon."

The moment his words dropped, Alex casted [Tidal Wave].

"[Tidal Wave]!"

Immediately, Alex's mana gathered on the sandy ground and water started rising out of nowhere.

The sound of the water waves echoed in this desert which is very unusual.

Soon enough, the tidal wave had already reached the height of 20 meters.

Alex turned to the dragon and said, "Let's see if your fire can handle this!"

Without delay, Alex pushed the tidal wave towards the dragon.

Honestly, the size of that water is just a bit higher compared to the height of the dragon and would normally not do any damage to it.

However, this wave in front of it is not any normal wave.

It's a [Tidal Wave] created with mana!

Like a disaster, [Tidal Wave] continued to push forward, heading towards the dragon.

And it didn't take long for the dragon's fire breath to hit the [Tidal Wave].

Boom!

Without surprise, a huge explosion occurred as the two attacks met each other.

With opposite elements that contain equal firepower, they just ended up negating each other, resulting in both of them vanishing.

There was a momentary silence as Alex and the dragon looked at the place where both of their attacks just disappeared without saying anything.

After a few seconds, Alex turned his eyes at the dragons and looked directly into its eyes.

Then he said, "I guess my [Tidal Wave]'s power is just the same as your fire breath, huh."

"And here I was thinking that I'll get the upper hand since water suppresses fire."

Alex added, shaking his head in pity.

While saying that, Alex didn't stop moving.

At this time, he already arrived just a few meters away from the dragon and picked up the fallen knife.

The knife trembled in excitement once Alex touched it.

Bzzzt!

Alex chuckled, "Alright, alright, let's end this flying lizard first."

Bzzzt!

With a knife in hand, a sharp light flashed through Alex's eyes as he said, "I wonder if your barrier is enough to defend against my next attack."

Next, Alex once again used [Energy Slash] to charge mana to his blood red knife.

Chiiiii!

Mana started surging towards the knife at a fast speed and in no time, it had already reached 10 thousand mana!

However, Alex didn't stop there.

Right now, Alex wants to test out the current limit of the knife after it has gone through a

At the same time, Alex knows that with just 10 thousand mana, the possibility of breaking the dragon's barrier is low.

That's why, he decided to put as much as he can in this next attack.

Feeling the mana rushing through it, the knife started to feel excited which was then transmitted to Alex.

Alex looked at the knife with a smile and said, "What? Are you that excited to get a taste of dragon's blood?"

"Heh, then let's not waste more time!"

Trembling, the knife agreed.

At the same time, the mana in the knife has also reached 30 thousand!

"This much mana should be more than enough to break that lizard's barrier."

"I guess I won't be able to replace out your current limit right now."

Even though he said that, Alex wasn't so disappointed.

After all, the knife can only handle 10 thousand before it goes through an upgrade.

But now, it can even take more than 30 thousand mana!

It increased by multiple times!

Because of this, Alex's curiosity about this knife grew more and more.

Anyway, Alex stopped pouring mana on the knife and without hesitation, he slashed it at the neck of the red dragon!

Shiing!

A sharp milky white crescent energy came out of the knife and shot towards the dragon.

When the [Energy Slash] arrived at the dragon's range, the barrier surrounding it immediately showed itself and tried to stop the attack.

However, the power contained in that one slash is so powerful that it didn't even take a second for the dragon's barrier to break!

Shatter!

Then without stopping, the [Energy Slash] headed to the neck at the now frightened dragon.

"ROO-"

Whish!

The dragon attempted to let out a roar but the [Energy Slash] had already arrived and slashed through its neck.

The head of the dragon flew in the air and blood sprinkled out of its severed neck like rain.

The knife in Alex's hand started vibrating wildly because of ecstasy!

Bzzzt! Bzzzzt! Bzzzzt!

As it starts raining down with the blood of the dragon, some of it falls onto the knife and it starts trembling more in excitement!

Noticing that, Alex laughed and said, "You're really happy to absorb dragon's blood, huh."

"I don't know if this will come with beneficial effects to you, but there's nothing bad to let you absorb more of it."

Saying that, Alex walked closer at the dragon's dead body and stabbed the knife at its neck, to let it absorb more blood.

After doing that, Alex looked at the notifications in front of him.

[You killed a 3-Star Level 136 Red Dragon, +1,300,600 experience points.]

[Ding!]

[You have cleared the most difficult level 'Abyss' in the 2nd trial of the Trial Tower!]

[Congratulations, you made a feat that has never been done before!]

[Please choose your reward: Legendary Weapon x1, Cure-all Elixir x1, One-time Elementary Annihilation Skill Scroll x1, Orichalcum x10, Random Treasure Chest x1...]

[Congratulations, you have successfully advanced to Tier-2!]

[Please choose your reward: Random Item, Stats Multiplication x5, Random Unique Skill, Random Pet Egg…]

…

When Alex laid eyes on the reward notifications, his eyes lit up.

"I get to choose two rewards? Awesome!"

"Let's see, let's see…"

Alex started browsing through the long list of rewards available for him to pick from full of enthusiasm.

There are a lot of items on the list and some of the rewards in the two rewards selection lists overlap with each other.

After a while of hard thinking, Alex has finally come to a decision.

"Okay, I'm done thinking. I'll just pick this and this!"

Alex decided to pick [Random Treasure Chest] for the achievement reward and [Random Unique Skill] for the trial completion reward.

You might be thinking, 'Why didn't he pick the Stats Multiplication x5?!'.

Well, that is because after thinking for some time, Alex has come to the conclusion that getting a new unique skill might become more useful in the long run.

Since Stats are easy to earn with his unique skill [Sacrifice], Alex is not that keen in picking the stats multiplication.

Anyway, by the time Alex finished picking, the knife on the side had also finished absorbing the blood of the dragon.

Bzzzt!

Alex looked at the knife and smiled,

"You're done? Then I will sacrifice this body now."

Saying that, Alex pulled out the knife from the dragon's corpse before using [Sacrifice] on it.

[You 'Sacrificed' Legendary-class 3-Star Monster, +250 free attribute points.]

Seeing that, Alex nodded in satisfaction.

Turning around, Alex looked at the knife and said, "Since we're leaving the tower, I'll place you back inside the inventory for now."

Bzzzzt!

After the knife replied, Alex placed the knife back in his inventory.

After he did that, Alex took a deep breath and said, "Once I leave here and go back to the Trial Tower's lobby, I will receive the rewards."

"Since the unique skill that I'll get is random, it's for the best if I turn on [Fortune] now."

With a thought, Alex turned on [Fortune] and the world suddenly turned into Alex's favor.

At this time, Alex started glowing with white light before suddenly disappearing in the sandy sky island.

The next second, Alex appeared at the Trial Tower's lobby.

Just when Alex arrived, a notification from the system appeared in front of his eyes.

[Congratulations, you acquired the Unique Skill 'Synthesis'!]

Hearing that, Alex's eyes looked curiously at the skill description of [Synthesis].

[Synthesis]

[Rating: Unique]

[Effects: Select two items or skills that you would like to synthesize. Item or the skill's rating might decrease or increase depending on the compatibility of the two selected things to be synthesized.]

[Description: For every use of synthesis, consume 1000 gold coins as the energy source.]

…

After seeing the new unique skill he got, Alex put on a thoughtful expression.

Alex is thinking whether [Synthesis] is a good skill or not.

"Hmm, since I have the skill tree, it feels a little redundant."

"But, not every skill is included in the skill tree, maybe this can still end up useful somehow."

With such thoughts, Alex decided to put his thoughts about the [Synthesis] for next time when he actually used it.
