The clone looked at the lock on the staircase and after studying it for a few seconds decided that there was no way in hell he was ever breaking that lock.

There was a high probability that he could find the key somewhere in the library, most likely in one of the drawers of the librarian's desk, but in the end he decided to take the brute approach with 100% probability of success although it was a bit slower.

[ Giant Summoning ]

The clone summoned the 3 giants in the middle of the library and ordered them to start punching a hole through the roof.

The clone himself used [ Energy Blast ] and [ 9 Ashura sword slice ] to help the giants in the process as the three of them began relentlessly punching across the roof.

While the lock on the staircase was reinforced with some sort of magic, the ceiling wasn't and under the strength of the giants and the attacks of the clone, a hole was carved into it within 1 minute.

As the clone climbed onto floor 66, he paused for a second and looked at the giants on the floor underneath as he glanced at their massive HP pool that was waning ever so slowly.

An idea quickly formed in the clone's brain as it said " The three of you, work together to punch a hole in the side of the mage tower, then throw these books out of that hole with all your strength - a…. "

*KRRRR*

The giants suddenly turned to a pile of rotten bones as the clone was alarmed as the hole within the ceiling that he had just created began mending by itself.

' What the fuck? ' The clone wondered as its heart began beating out of its chest.

The phenomenon he had just witnessed now was the mage towers' own self mending properties and intruder tackling systems into play.

The giants were neutralised by the system and the hole in the ceiling started to be repaired automatically.

' There does my escape route ' thought the clone as it did not dally a second longer on floor 66 fearing that judgement might come for it too, however, a serious problem had presented itself before the clone now because it had no way to exit the mage tower safely now.

Looking at its HP bar which had shrunk to almost 40% of what it was only 10 minutes ago it felt a sense of urgency as it quickly explored floor 66-75.

Floor 66-75 seemed to be residential quarters for the grand mage and his sexual partners as well as quarters for servants on duty 24x7.

There were a lot of valuable artefacts and precious artwork within the rooms, as the clone indiscriminately stole everything from golden side lamps to artwork pieces to the side of the bed frame if it was made with gold.

The clone only had 1.5 minutes left before he needed to escape, however the clone had still not found the secret behind zogaroth and his research which is why he had to proceed to checkout the last 5 rooms.

Floor 76-77 seemed to be the master control area of the mage tower, the part from where one could monitor the entire city and unleash the mage towers destructive capabilities if needed. It was arguably the most important 2 rooms in the entire mage tower, but sadly there was nothing that the clone could steal from there.

Floor 78 was a treasury, a goldmine where countless precious gems, platinum and gold coins of ancient denomination and special artefacts were stored.

—-------> In total the clone raided close to 25 tonnes of gold, 1 tonne of platinum, 300 kg of rhodium and 40 kilograms of Ruby, sapphire, blue quartz and other gems.

In addition to these he found 3 artefacts of immense value

[ Truth Orb ] ( ancient ) - An ancient truth orb which glows green if someone is telling the truth, while glows red if one is lying.

Restrictions - Effective only under tier6

[ Infinity rope roller ] ( ancient ) - A rope roller that will continue producing a piece of mana rope until mana is poured into it without limit.

[ Water Jug ] ( semi-legendary ) - A 10L jug of water that will refill itself automatically every 2 hours.

The clone smiled as he looted these items, but with only one minute left now, he hurried onto floor 79.

On floor 79, 4 bodies that had not yet fully decomposed sat leaning against the wall with a weird mass of flesh which looked like tree roots growing out of their brains and disappearing into the wall behind.

( ????? ) [ Abyssal Mage ] ( Tier : ???? )

( ????? ) [ Abyssal Mage ] ( Tier : ???? )

( ????? ) [ Abyssal Mage ] ( Tier : ???? )

( ????? ) [ Abyssal Mage ] ( Tier : ???? )

The clone tried to scan their identities but was unable to determine anything except their class which was abyssal mage.

This meant that the other party was definitely tier6 or higher and still alive/ semi-alive.

Shivers went down the clone's spine as he looked at the four weird men who were probably sitting here like this for centuries.

Mustering its courage, the clone walked up to floor 80, the last floor on the mage tower and there he saw a man sitting on a chair behind a wooden desk looking at him with his bright golden eyes and an expressionless face.

The clone fell flat on its bum, as he did not expect to see anyone living inside this mage tower, but this man there was alive and fully functional.

" Evis the Valero? " (do you speak elven?)

" Dremis des Dracona? " (Do you speak Draconic )

" Chiik, civlk chkkkee? " (Do you speak orvish)

" Does thou understand English ? " ( Do you speak bipedal English?)

The man asked the clone who stood back up and said " English "

Nodding his head the man looked at the HP bar above the clone's head which was no different from a level 30 tier0 individual at the moment and sighed deeply as he said " Vestrate Restrorum "

Immediately, the clone's HP bar began expanding once more, reaching it's original state before the contamination.

The clone breathed a sigh of relief as it saw this, it had just been awarded 12 extra minutes within this tower!
