Developing their own skill was a massive achievement, but to create a skill capable of mass destruction was something only a handful of people were capable of.
AOE skills were rare in the Tower, especially ones that have a huge area of effect. The one Kapali was displaying now was a sword move. By imbuing the sword with mana, it was possible to do long-range attacks. That's something a lot of people were capable of doing. In fact, it was no exaggeration to say that every proper swordsman would be able to execute a similar skill.
But this skill...it was different. Although a bit weaker, it was comparable to the power of "Twilight Beam" and its range was as wide as a "Dragon's Breath".
A being capable of bringing forth power equal to that of a Dragon! Shiva stood there completely in awe of the swordsmanship performed, even a noob like himself was able to tell the power that was put into that skill. It was a fact that Kapali was a great swordsman in his previous life, but this skill... was just beyond his imagination.
A deep red flash flew through the hall for a brief instant, followed by a deep silence. The scarecrows stopped in their tracks and time seemed to draw to a crawl.1s...2s...3s... then, slowly, the upper body of all 26 scarecrows slid off from the lower torso, then falling lifeless to the floor.
[Your summon, Kapali, has learned a new Sword technique]
[His position as the "Candidate of Heavenly Demon" seat has been strengthened]
He didn't know what the message meant, but the next messages were enough for him to feel accomplished.
[You have cleared the 96th stage]
[An incredible achievement has been made]
[You are the first person to clear the 96th stage]
[You have gained the title 'Record Breaker']
It was a message from the Tower, one which stated the creation of a new record. An indicator of the beginning of a new era.
[Your achievement shall be forever etched in the Towers Records]
The Crazy necromancer's first proper achievement was made on this day, which would forever be remembered as the beginning of his long journey.

After going through each message, he decides to appraise his new gains. Once again, his view was blocked with messages.

Shiva was looking at his rewards, he was overjoyed! The benefits of this floor were greater than all the previous seven-floors combined. He got a unique skill, a new stat that increased the number of his summons, and he also got some magic stones for free, he was on clouds nine.
"Status," he said loudly as if to tell the world about his achievement.

"That bastard, waiting till the last minute to show off. Who knew he was so cool..." Shiva mumbled. He then thought back to Kapali's performance towards the end, more specifically his new skill.
[Annihilate: -
The second move of Death demon's swordsmanship.
When activated, stacks up all last uninterrupted continuous attacks and deals the damage equal to all stacks in a single move.
mana usage- 1/5th of total mana
cooldown - 6hrs]
It was a stack-based skill. For Kapali, who hasn't missed a single strike since the first horde, the attack just dealt the damage that he had been stacking up from the very start of the challenge. An incredible skill was added to his summons and by extension his, arsenal. Shiva, who was over the moon with his rewards, exited through the floor. He arrived on the 9th floor of the Tower,
As soon as he came out of the Tower, he heard people murmuring and looking in his direction. He was confused as to why they were looking at him. He then noticed a person standing in the entryway of the 9th-floor with a big mace in his hand. He was muscular with blond hair and brown eyes, the ferocious aura of a beast surrounded him. For some reason, Shiva got the impression he seemed to be waiting for someone.
That's when it happened. A message was displayed to everyone all around the 8th and 9th floor
[The previous record set on the 8th floor has been broken]
[A new record has been set and a new legend begins]
It was a short two messages indicating the new record of the 8th floor, but the people went into mass hysteria hearing these two announcements.
Luckily for Shiva, the Tower didn't mention his name, or else who knows how many crazy dogs would have been hounding him down. He put up his cloak to cover his face as he started to try to sneak away from the crowd.
"Where are you going? I am waiting for you here for a long time now!" The muscular man said looking towards his direction with a shit-eating grin, plaster on his face.
One thought ran through Shiva's mind.
'Shit!'
