Stop, I'm about to become a boss!

Chapter 186 Wake Up
When Linton stepped on the [ladder], he immediately realized that such a long distance is not so easy to climb.

As soon as the forefoot stepped into the range covered by the golden glow, "heaviness" immediately turned into a tarsal maggot, climbing up from the veins of the foot to the top of the skull, and then attached to the soul, down, and down , so that the pressure perfectly penetrated into every physiological structure and soul ocean of the human body. At that moment, it felt like the heaviest mountain in the world fell from the sky, and the person under pressure could not move.

In a crisis, before Linton adapts, the body's stress system responds faster than the brain.

The majestic magic power gushes out from the body, trying to drive away the outsiders who invaded the body, but these pressures have completely integrated into every part of the body, and what the magic power can do is to temporarily relieve the damage caused by the pressure to the body.

"call."

Linton, who had recovered, let out a sigh of relief.

"It's really a tough challenge."

In fact, after the magic power unfolded, the pressure he endured has been greatly relieved compared to when he was caught off guard just now. If he maintains such a state in the first stage, he feels that he can go to the first stage [Ladder of Heaven] ] end.

The reason why it is difficult is because under normal circumstances, it is impossible for him and Iris to climb the [ladder].

When most of the contestants are forced by the [Restricted Zone] to step on the ladder in the central ruins area and fight, they will definitely break out in conflicts that are almost indistinguishable from the battlefield.

While bearing the increasingly powerful pressure, at the same time, we must be wary of the ulterior motives of everyone around us.

To say that this kind of challenge is difficult is even a little too light on it.

On the other side, Iris also thought of this question.

"This kind of trial. Can anyone really pass the level?"

Miss Knight is skeptical about this, and this attitude accounts for 90.00% of the nine, leaving the rest for Linton.

Facing Iris' question, Linton just shook his head: "Under normal circumstances, it's almost impossible."

"What about before? Has anyone succeeded before?"

"There has never been such a trial before." Linton spread his hands, "The way to win each individual battle is different, and the rules and mechanisms this time are also unprecedented, um, unprecedented in this world."

Without waiting for Iris to question his last sentence, Linton suddenly opened his hands.

[Magnificent Moment · Divine Revelation]
Since the skills he possessed were not completely disabled, it would be a waste of money if he didn't make good use of the enhanced skills he had obtained.

The pressure given by [Heavy Kamui] is a restriction that acts on the body and soul at the same time, and the magic power acts as a buffer in it. If the effect of the buffer and the quality of the stressed part are strengthened at this time, then the adaptation to the pressure The degree will also increase some levels.

However, when the divine revelation came and the faint golden light fell on himself and Iris, Linton felt the changes in his body, but was stunned.

Almost instantly, the pressure on the two of them dissipated without a trace.

"This..." Iris' eyes widened, "Why did the pressure suddenly disappear completely?"

"What did you do?"

"I just strengthened the two of us a little bit. Maybe it's too strong?"

Linton replied uncertainly. .

During the days when the players arrived, he accumulated a considerable amount of [Piety] through the players. At the same time, he hadn't experienced much battles before, and there was almost no consumption during this period, so for this time A rare opportunity, he invested thousands of [Piety] at a time.

The effect of [Divine Enlightenment] is that every point of [Piety] can increase one's attributes by [-]%, and if it is a thousand points, it will double the original attributes.

According to Linton's investment, although it is divided into two parts, the improvement rate is still very considerable. From the panel alone, it has more than doubled.

This is already an attribute that completely transcends the level line. Facing the current pressure, it is normal to feel relaxed?

No, not right.

Linton frowned slightly.

Even if the strengthening is strong, it is impossible to completely offset the pressure gained, so that you can't feel it at all, right?

Raising his head, Linton looked up.

The end of the ladder went straight into the clouds, and there was no end in sight, but at the moment when he looked over, Linton always felt that there seemed to be something waiting for him.

"Let's keep going."

Miss Knight nodded, followed behind him, and gradually climbed up.

"One thousand one hundred and eight, one thousand one hundred and nine, one thousand 110. Sir, we seem to be entering the next stage. Would you like to take a break?"

Stopping, Iris turned her head to look at the man beside her.

Their progress speed is not slow, but this ladder is too high, even though the negative effects brought by [Heavy Kamui] have been reduced to no longer exist, but due to gravity and physical strength, they still climbed a dozen or so It took 10 minutes to reach the end of the first stage - here is a name to criticize someone whose physical fitness is only in double digits after being strengthened and starts at the beginning.

"Let's do it for a while." Linton readily accepted the proposal without trying to be brave.

He has no idea what will happen next, so it is very necessary to preserve his strength and take a rest.

"However. Let's take two more steps and then rest."

Linton took a step forward and went up two squares.

When the pace stopped at the thousandth and 110th square, a buff icon representing gain suddenly appeared on his status bar, and the experience bar was also filled a little

[Consolation for the Warriors: Your physical strength, magic power, and spirit will be greatly restored]
[Rewards for warriors: get experience points x10000, get free skill points x1]
Looking at the reward, Linton blinked.

There is actually such a benefit to climbing the ladder?Why didn't you mark it before it came up?

Linton thought for a while, but figured out some joint points.

These rewards may be aimed at specific elite groups.

Putting these reward regulations in the trial regulations may stimulate some people's chicken blood and make them more motivated, but in fact, even if most people have motivation, they are unlikely to persist here.

And those who can get here don't need to specifically explain the rewards, they can naturally get here with their own will and strength.

Although the rewards at this time are not many, they can also supplement the contestants who have consumed a lot of energy, which is more or less a timely help.

However, when Linton recovered, he observed himself carefully, only to find that although he had acquired the experience points, the buff seemed to have no actual effect on him.

His physical strength still hasn't been significantly replenished, and the consumed mana is still recovering at a normal speed, which is completely indistinguishable from the normal state.

"Why is that?"

Linton feels that since he came to this world, there has never been a day when there are so many questions as today.

First, I was able to cross the restriction and enter the restricted area for no reason, and then I climbed the ladder without pressure, and then I couldn't accept the reward buff set by the gods on the ladder
gods?

Suddenly, Linton's mind flashed.

He suddenly remembered that he was freed from pressure restrictions only after he was endowed with [Divine Enlightenment].

Is it possible that the power of Allah has expelled the restrictions of the Molten Lord, so that he does not have to bear the so-called [divine power] at all, and it is precisely because the power of Allah protects him that the buffs from other gods cannot be applied to on him.

The more Linton thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was getting closer to the truth, but when he looked at the skill bar again, he doubted his guess again.

If it is said that the power of a god cannot be applied to a person under the protection of another god, then it is understandable that one's [Divine Apocalypse] is not locked, but why is the skill from the profession not locked?

Moreover, the [God's Hand], which also belongs to the power of the gods, has also been blocked.

"Headache"

Linton couldn't figure it out.

He lifted it away again and looked towards the sky.

Intuition told him that perhaps when he set foot on the top of the sky, all questions and confusions would be answered.

When the sun in the secret realm gradually fell into the horizon, Linton and Iris finally reached the end of the ladder.

However, when Iris stepped onto the last step full of expectations, imagining that there would be some strange sight that is hard to see in the world, her face suddenly froze. .

"That's it?" Iris couldn't understand everything in front of her.

I thought that the end of the ladder might be a world beyond the reach of human beings, but in fact, there is only a vast platform here, and other than that, it is empty and there is nothing.

"Is there nothing hidden there?"

Miss Knight looked left and right, stepped here and there, and finally got nothing but disappointment.

"It's really true, didn't you say nothing, will there be any [divine punishment]?"

Linton squinted at her: "Don't forget, people said that it will open after 72 hours, and it's not that time now, isn't it normal?"

"I know, but." Iris pursed her lips, muttering something that no one could understand.

Thinking about it, when a person goes through thousands of hardships and goes to the end of the world to find treasures, only to find that the so-called end of the world is really just a borderline, with nothing but air, and even the magic power is pitifully thin. Disappointment will inevitably spread in the heart.

Linton patted Miss Knight, comforting her with actions.

At the same time, he also had some doubts in his heart.

Nothing at all?

For a moment, Linton thought of the kind of players who were keen on card bugs when he was a player.

It took a lot of hard work to create models, characters, and everything that designers and programmers couldn’t think of, just to see what’s in the house that can’t be entered, what the top floor of the secret dungeon looks like, deep in the sea, What kind of picture will be presented.

Unfortunately, the final fact is that what these players end up with is basically only paper-like modeling, a snow-white follow-up, and unknown information that cannot be seen.

Linton feels that he is now playing the same role as this type of player.

If you get stuck with a special bug and enter the central ruins area ahead of time, and then use this bug to go up the ladder without pressure, what you get in the end is just such an empty space that looks like it hasn't been loaded yet.

just
"Is it really empty?"

Linton was reluctant to believe this fact.

From the time he stepped into this restricted area, he felt that there was an inexplicable existence that was guiding him to move forward, and when he reached the ladder, this feeling became more obvious, and the process of climbing the ladder was also in some ways. Ruowu led him to explore forward.

It's just that when the end point is reached, this inexplicable feeling disappears.

why?
"Do you think that when I come here, I can naturally activate the hidden things?"

Linton seemed to realize something.

Looking back on the journey, he didn't have a locked skill, and why he was able to enter the unopened area. He still doesn't know yet, but after climbing the ladder, he knows why he easily stepped onto the top floor.

Closing his eyes, Linton clasped his hands together.

[Magnificent Moment · Divine Revelation]

The next moment, the raging black flame seemed to wake up from a deep sleep, and fell from the sky, falling to the ground with a completely opposite color and posture.

And at the moment when the black flame appeared, all the golden lights on the ladder began to surge, tremble, and... run away at the same time, like a riot.

"Sir!" Iris' pupils suddenly dilated.

She knew all the skills that Linton possessed, and she had seen the appearance of him when he released these skills, but this time, it was different from any other time.

In the eyes of the lady knight, each of Linton's spells is full of mystery enough to make people study and explore for a lifetime, but the mystery is the mystery. His spells, except for the red lotus magic that belongs to the witch, are full of mystery. In addition, none of them are aimed at hurting people.

But now, when thousands of tiny black flames fell from the sky into the sky ladder, nibbled at the golden light, and then developed in the direction of swallowing, Iris was keenly aware of the strange aura contained in it.

Not destruction, not destruction, but outright...death.

"gentlemen!"

Iris hurriedly called Linton again, but she didn't get an immediate response as usual.

She turned her head sharply.

Only then did she realize that something was wrong with Linton.

The necromancer still kept his eyes closed and his hands clasped together, but he didn't respond to Iris' touch at all, as if he had traveled far away and hadn't returned yet.

"boom--"

Another huge black flame fell, shaking the platform so that it was about to collapse.

Iris stretched out her arms to wrap around the stiff body of the necromancer, saving him from the embarrassing scene where he fell headfirst to the ground with a big bag.

It was precisely because of this action that she noticed the abnormality on the ground.

"Gold. Gone."

At this moment, the golden veins on the platform have been completely occupied by black flames, and after being linked, they finally outline a strange picture.

Iris stood in one corner, unable to see exactly what the picture was about, but if someone looked down from a higher sky, they would be able to know what the specific things depicted in the picture were.

That is
— a throne.

And the two of them are in the center.

Under the drowsy sky, Linton opened his eyes, but the person he saw was not Iris.

"My lord, are you awake?"
