Reborn as God: The strongest system

The wind whipped violently in response to a great shockwave in the ruins of the second floor. A giant toad was mangled with savage force as it died in agony.

Esdras got a treasure chest out of it that had [basic antidote slips] they were like small bandaids that could be stuck anywhere on the body and would activate automatically to cure any basic poisons.

He decided to come and clear the second floor at once, since he pretty much finished the exploration phase he only had to beat the boss.

The warning he got from the mysterious Ishtar was another reminder that he had to finish his business here as soon as possible.

However there were some things that he couldn't just let go of, for example this dungeon, the EXP and the magic items he was getting from it. It could be said that greed was a powerful thing.

Either way, tomorrow his three elemental sigils were going to be completed at which point he intended to use the EXP he had to rise a level and even becoming a full fledged True mage if possible.

Unfortunately becoming a True mage in this forest didn't have many advantages. After all, a mage's power didn't come from how much mana they had but the spells they knew.

And Esdras didn't even know any cantrip let alone a spell. Of course he could learn some cantrips later on from Celine and David but the general situation remained unchanged.

After figuring that out he decided to farm as much EXP as he could on his way to the pyramid.

In better conditions he would have liked to completely clear out the monsters but life was a series of unexpected events.

So in this way he killed quite a few monsters until he stood at the entrance to the pyramid.

All in all he gained at total of 280 EXP and dozens of different kinds of potions. Now his total amount of EXP amounted to 1019, the most he ever had.

He decided to leave most of the potions and many new pairs of [eye of Ageruus creeper] out of the pyramid as carrying a bag of items and potions was a distraction that he didn't need.

However Esdras didn't enter yet, he focused his mind on the system and consumed 180 EXP to level up his Vigor knight class from level 3 to level 4.

As soon as he did so he experienced the magical feeling of his Vigor expanding and filling his entire body. This moment was as if time came to a stand still.

But it lasted the span of a single blink.

Esdras could feel it clearly now, he no longer had to focus his mind to channel Vigor into his attacks, every single one of his movements contained Vigor.

Of course that was at different intensities depending on his intentions. After all, he didn't want to break a hole in the ground every time he took a step.

Something that needed an immense level of concentration and effort now only needed a thought. His stats haven't changed, even his Vigor didn't increase.

He also gained an acute control over his body, he was incredibly flexible and durable, he was capable of superhuman acrobatic skills. His actual fighting power may have doubled as of now.

Unfortunately the next level which meant the next realm, Vigor core, needed 520 EXP. Good new is he also got two Skill points and two Stat points.

Esdras wasn't sure if he wanted to breakthrough just yet. Carrying with him only the bare necessities, some water, three health potions and one stamina potion. Oh, he also had two antidote slips on him.

Inside the pyramid he was no longer as confused with it's structure as he was the first time but he was very curious about what kind of magical effects made it like this.

This time he realized that the current path he was taking was different from the one he took the first time. There was no mistake since he followed [Vetaran's hunch].

On the way he noticed another one of those trap rooms and looked inside, after checking from traps he didn't find any. Obviously that wasn't good news, it just meant that the trap was hard to detect by normal means.

But the treasure chest inside was very tempting, he was aware that the trap was there but the treasure also had something valuable inside it for sure.

Anyway he had brought a few things in his small backpack besides water and potions for situations like these.

Steeling his heart he took out a short rope (7 meters long) from his backpack and tied it around the chest whole making sure not to move it in the slightest.

He walked out of the room and in one single pull he yanked the chest out. The moment the chest left the platform, a hole opened in the ceiling and a Gelatinous cube fell right on the entire platform.

Within ten seconds the entire room turned into a black mush that releases nauseating gasses. Esdras felt his scalp going numb.

No matter he opened the chest.

[Infernal pact: a rare grade item, used to form and enforce any law or agreement by any party. Those who break the agreement whether knowingly or not will suffer the consequences as specified in the contract without fail, in the name of Hell. In addition they will face the eternal wrath of ####.]

Wow, he got his hands on something awesome. Three yellowish parchment papers, not one but three! It was absolutely worth it.

This was an absolutely unbreakable contract. Well, not really, but whoever dod that will actually suffer the consequences of breaking the deal. And it looks like he could actually put in whatever he wanted?

Moreover hell was apparently real?

Esdras carefully put away the infernal contracts and proceeded to the intersection of staircases it was the left upper staircase that was trapped, so obviously or rather probably the one on the right was the correct choice.

He was about to face the boss.
