Standing before the treasures chests they had earned from the twentieth floor, Marcus, Mrazivý and Roxene unceremoniously kicked them open.

They were still a bit peeved at how painful this floor's trial was and the normal anticipation for what might be inside these chests was replaced by lingering anger.

Still when they saw what was inside elation soon took over as the dominant emotion they were feeling.

'I suppose this being the twentieth floor the dungeon is finally going all out.' Marcus thought as he looked at what he had received.

Within his chest were only three items but they were all definitely quite useful.

The first item was a familiar purple metal and Marcus happily took out the ingot of amethros.

Alongside to though were two skill orbs which he assumed would hold some powerful abilities.

'Would you like to learn the skill blazing spirit.'

'Would you like to learn the skill share spell.'

After activating both orbs and figuring out which skills were inside Marcus could not help but let a smile appear on his face.

He had read about both of these skills in the royal archive in Borealia and they were on the list of skills that Boreas found valuable.

Blazing spirit in particular was a skill Marcus had been wanting and even thinking about purchasing with his skill points, since it is part of the set of stat raising skills and the one that would boost his spirit stat.

'He had also written down share spell. Normally you can only have one of the same buff spell in affect at a time, but this allows anyone who has it to use it on another person when the spell is cast. Though the tier of spell has to be at the same level as the skill or lower.'

Ecstatic to receive both of these skills, Marcus quickly learned them both and looked at his status which had once again gotten stronger.

When he was done looking through his stats and skills Marcus looked back at when they entered the special done for the second time nearly two months ago and examined his progress.

'This place really does make you a lot stronger if you are willing to put up with it. I have gained two levels and gotten some useful skills. Not to mention all the valuable materials and unfished but powerful spells and enchantment formations. And there are still plenty more floors to go.'

Satisfied with how his status was coming along, Marcus swiped it away and turned his attention towards his companions.

"So, what did the two of you get. It is time to compare who got the best rewards."

At Marcus' promoting both Roxene and Mrazivý confidently brought out their spoils from the twentieth floor.

In Mrazivý's hands was a single rainbow-colored fruit that glistened vibrantly.

Its shape was a bit odd, looking a bit like a dragon fruit as the closest example Marcus could remember from Earth.

Roxene on the other hand had nothing, as like Marcus she received two skill orbs which she had already learned.

'I got the skills adrenaline rush and unshakable vigor. Both pretty powerful and useful skills.' Roxene said with her head held high.

However, Marcus quickly brought her down by pulling out his amethros ingot and divulging the skills he had obtained.

Both of them had obtained stat boosting skills in blazing spirit and unshakable vigor so those equaled out. But share spell was a rarer skill than adrenaline rush and the amethros ingot put Marcus way ahead.

'Fine you win this time.' Roxene said begrudgingly.

"Ahem!

"I believe you are forgetting someone." Mrazivý said as she held out the rainbow fruit.

Though despite it looking like a rare natural treasure, neither Roxene nor Marcus would consider it a premier item.

Just boosting up stats would not really be considered as valuable as skill orbs or Marcus' amethros ingot which had equivalent value to some unique skills.

Still, Mrazivý seemed assured that what she held in her hands was better than the two skill orbs and amethros ingot Marcus had gotten.

"Okay what does it do? Give you plus one thousand to each stat." Marcus said.

Of course, if it did that would be quite the natural treasure. Yet when he heard what it actually did, he could not believe such a powerful item actually existed.

"Nope, nothing so mundane as that. This natural treasure is known as the Fruit of Amelioration and will raise my level by three up to seventy. Along with bring all my stats to their peak and in a perfect balance for my skills and abilities. And since I am currently at level sixty-seven it will bring me up to my absolute peak of power."

For a few moments after hearing this Marcus and Roxene just stood there in a daze. Staring blankly at the fruit in Mrazivý's hands.

Then once their minds had fully processed just how incredible it was they practically lost it.

"What in the hell?! How did you get something so powerful. It is basically a one off of our supreme skill greatest potential, but with the bonus of leveling you up three times. How is that even something that is allowed to exist!"

With a smug smile Mrazivý held up the rainbow fruit that was certainly above even what Marcus had obtained.

"And now to use it." Mrazivý said as she brought the natural treasure up to her mouth.

She took a single bite into it and her eyes went wide.

​ As a complete reflexive reaction, she brought her hand up to her cheek and practically squealed in delight, before quickly eating the rest of the fruit.

A moment later she started glowing and Marcus who was ready with his creature appraisal skill watched as her level rapidly went up to seventy.

"Ah, I have never tasted something that delicious." Mrazivý said with one of the brightest smiles Marcus had ever seen her give.

In fact, he rated it at around the same level as when he proposed to her.

"I am sure it tasted great, but what about the effects? I can see you level has gone up, but how about your stats?"

Like she had suddenly remembered that the fruit she had just eaten was not only a tasty treat, Mrazivý held out her hand and began flexing her muscles to gage the difference in her stats.

"I certainly feel quite a bit stronger now." She said while slowly moving her body and feeling out the differences.

After doing that for around minute she swiftly pulled out her sword and began filling it with mana.

A few hundred rapid test swings later and she had a pretty good feel for how much stronger she had gotten.

"I would say that was quite the profound increase." Mrazivý said with another smile forming on her face.

"Yeah, I would say profound is an apt term for how much stronger you got in just one go."

Having watched Mrazivý practice Marcus could tell that she was a league above her previous level of power.

That fruit had truly brought her to the peak of her strength as a level seventy, and now Marcus figured that beating her even with using all of his powers would be an uphill battle.

"I suppose that we will have to call this your win. That natural treasure was simply too powerful to compete with. "Marcus said while shrugging his shoulders in defeat.

The three of them then spent a few hours to relax and test out the new skills and abilities they had gotten. Before turning towards the teleportation circle that would take them to the waiting area between the twentieth and twenty first floor.

When they stepped on it a flash of light filled their vision and they felt the familiar sensation of being whisked away.
