Three Towers Game

Chapter 294 The Second Trip to the Tower of Slaughter Comes to an End

The door is ajar.

It turns out that those gods who seemed omnipotent, who traversed the three towers, could also fall to the dust and had to join forces with humanity.

Watching Wen Xishu shake hands with Sagittarius, Albert felt a pang of emotion.

This battle was hard-won, but the gains were substantial. After this battle, the zodiac was no longer an unshakeable force for him.

Even within the Three Towers, they are merely higher-level NPCs.

Albert was pleased that Old Jin had found the bunker, allowing humanity to improve themselves through three methods: slaughter, cunning, and desire.

From this perspective alone, humanity's rate of advancement even surpasses that of the monsters in the Three Towers War, and even surpasses that of the constellations.

It can be said that Lao Jin found the most correct answer.

During the conversation with Sagittarius, Lao Jin suddenly understood everything. It was as if he had been given a mission.

The birth of Xiao Jin, Xiao Jin's ability to simulate constellations... it seems that everything is also related to the Heart of Fusion.

The Heart of Fusion is also crucial to Long Xia's Hidden Dragon Plan. Albert couldn't understand how Old Jin's Heart of Fusion had ended up with Wen Xishu.

What caused Lao Jin's departure?

Albert longed to understand all of this, but he figured only Wen Xishu could give him the answers.

And he also realized one thing—

The arrival of the Three Towers and the end of the world actually have nothing to do with constellations.

But the apocalypse granted the constellations authority above other creatures, allowing them to plan ahead.

However, these constellations were, in the end, a group of young people, or even a group of children, at that time.

Their plans were disorganized, and coupled with the curse that they were destined to fight each other to become gods, they were unable to unite and combine their respective powers to deal with the end times.

This has led to the current Three Towers War being more like a constellation war.

Judging from the feedback from my own tower climbing and even from Wenxi Tree's tower climbing, it seems that gaining the favorability of the constellation is the most important thing.

But it's all just an appearance.

Clearly, what brought about the apocalypse was a higher-dimensional existence.

Perhaps humans turning into monsters is essentially evolution, a response to those beings.

"I should leave here," Sagittarius said.

"I will keep everything from today a secret, and I hope you will keep it a secret as well."

Being defeated by humans is naturally shameful.

Sagittarius knows very well how strong Albert's fist is, and how many miracles Wen Xishu has performed.

But others don't know.

There are also meetings between the constellations, and he didn't want to suffer too much humiliation.

Wen Xishu suddenly asked:
"Do you know my brother... Wen Chaohua? Logically speaking, you're in charge of dealing with those who overstep their boundaries, while Capricorn is in charge of extradition. And since you two have a very good relationship, perhaps you know about him?"

Sagittarius shakes their head:
"I've never heard of this person."

Wen Xishu sensed something was wrong:

"But you once locked onto me when I tried to summon him."

Sagittarius suddenly fell silent.

He looked closely at Wenxi Tree, as if he was once again shocked by something about it.

Sagittarius had actually recalled not long ago that this wasn't the first time he had tried to shoot Wen Xishu.

Wen Xishu also looked at the archer:

Why aren't you saying anything?

The archer shook his head and said:
"I forgot."

"So many people have been shot that they've forgotten?"

"Yes, I forgot."

"You didn't lie to me?"

"Since our fates are intertwined, even if I deceive you, it's for your own good... Besides, I haven't lied to you. I forgot."

Sagittarius was quite surprised, but he stuck to this answer—he had forgotten.

Since he had made up his mind to cooperate with the archer, Wen Xishu couldn't delve too deeply into the matter. It seemed that he would have to increase his magic resistance and go to the Wen family's old mansion to investigate Wen Chaohua's secret.

"Finally, if I encounter enemies in the Tower of Ghosts in the future, can you help me? Maybe by launching a surprise attack from out of nowhere?"

Wen Xishu hadn't really held out hope. But, to her surprise, Sagittarius nodded in agreement.

"Really?"

"of course can."

"But for specifics, you'll have to ask the guides. They'll tell you the details and how to use it." Sagittarius seemed genuinely eager to get back.

He seemed to sense that someone had crossed the line again.

Wen Xishu wanted to ask if there were any slogans among the constellations that could intimidate the guides... but Sagittarius's body had already begun to become illusory.

He is about to return to his own chaotic realm.

There, he was virtually invincible.

Albert was still somewhat worried at that moment, after all, defeating the archer was achieved by eliminating the archer's advantage.

If the archers were allowed back into that undetectable area, they would be in danger.

At that moment, the shooter also looked at Albert:

"My fate will have the same ups and downs as his. I believe I will become stronger, and then we will fight again."

Xun Hui understood that this was a challenge; Sagittarius acknowledged that he had lost to the old man and therefore longed to win back honorably.

This made him feel a little more favorably toward Sagittarius.

After all, it seems that Sagittarius still has one arrow to shoot, but it does not deny the fact that it has lost.

"The treaty has been dissolved. Consider it a gesture of good faith on my part."

This was the last thing Sagittarius said.

Then, Sagittarius disappeared.

For Wen Xishu and Albert, this journey had come to an end.

Albert had absolutely no interest in killing monsters in this Tower of Slaughter. He said:

"I still haven't had enough. Come to think of it, I haven't had a chance to ask him what his zodiac sign is."

Wen Xishu said:
"In terms of power, he should be close to the bottom. At least in my impression, Scorpio and Pisces are the ones who can directly interfere with us. They don't even need to use their own fighting power to deal with us."

"They can easily defeat us simply by exploiting their rules."

"As for combat power, Sagittarius's combat power may not be low... it may even be above average. The strongest in terms of combat power among the constellations should be Leo."

Albert agrees with this analysis; the most powerful element in the Three Towers game is still the creators of the game's rules.

"I really want to see how it goes with the other zodiac signs."

Although he had reached his limit, and although in a sense he couldn't even defeat the "fully-formed shooter," Albert was certain that once that door was opened...

One's own spiritual practice is meaningful.

In this way, he would be even less confused.

"Principal, we've succeeded. Now it's just time for the trash to roll. Thank you so much. Without you, my biased view of the zodiac signs might have lasted much longer. You are a true legend."

Wen Xishu was generous with his praise, and it truly came from the bottom of his heart.

He had anticipated the outcome of the battle, guessing that the old headmaster might win, but he hadn't expected him to win so decisively, leaving the constellation utterly helpless.

Albert simply smiled and said:

"Don't underestimate a vengeful old man, hahahahaha..."

What kind of hatred can last for decades? What kind of vengeful will can shatter nothingness and elevate a person to the pinnacle of humanity? Wen Xishu didn't speculate much. But thinking about it, someone like the old headmaster, even in the world of obsessions, would probably be an extremely terrifying existence in the Tower of Ghosts.

……

……

bunker.

After Albert and the others entered the Tower of Ruth, Evelyn began to pray, hoping that Albert would return safely.

Wenren Jing was right next to him, also praying for everyone's safety.

The bunker was so calm and peaceful.

Because inside the bunker, no one knew what the bunker's strongest fighting force had actually done.

The true number one in the Tower of Slaughter, the number one player on the Tower of Slaughter's ladder, the number one player in the Tower of Ghosts... With this lineup, it seems that it should be enough to solve any crisis.

But only Evelyn and Wenren Jing knew just how terrifying the existence these Bunker Lights were about to challenge was.

In Evelyn's view, the power of those constellations was simply unreasonable.

Albert was undoubtedly very strong, stronger than anyone could imagine. But Old Jin was no weakling either; once the top fighter in the bunker, he could only retreat when faced with the arrows shot from the constellation, his fate unknown.

If it were Albert, could such a fate really be changed?
The old man and the young man in this tower of desire can only pray now.

Evelyn couldn't imagine what would happen to the bunker if Albert died. Although Rovon, William, and the others were old friends... deep down, Evelyn knew very well that their lust for power could very well ignite a civil war within the bunker.

Fortunately, the bunker's miraculous and legendary combination has not come to an end.

……

……

Three days later, at the place of guidance.

With his gaze passing through layers of doors and clocks, the red-haired cleaver raised his head higher than the black-haired cleaver this time.

“Congratulations, my friend, you’ve really pulled off a spectacular feat this time. You’ve accomplished something… grand and blasphemous. Oh, I shouldn’t say that, I don’t want to be targeted by that lord, damn it, blasphemous! Blasphemous! Not grand at all!”

"Sagittarius, though defeated, you are still glorious! And you, my friend, you are simply a miracle."

The red-headed man felt like his left brain was attacking his right brain; he was incoherent and quite agitated.

Wen Xishu knew that he had done something big.

Although it took only a short time to defeat Sagittarius, it was meaningless because the kill was not actually accomplished and it was just a setback. So, with Albert's help, Xun Hui and Wen Xishu's group returned to the original Crimson Church.

Unfortunately, Albert did not find the nuns from that time in the church.

The monsters in the church have changed several times over. The savior-level being known as "Our Lady" has long since left the Church of Isalo.

Albert then prepared to trek across the long distance to the ninetieth floor. Meanwhile, Xun Hui and the others began their arduous battle against the monsters on the seventieth floor.

It has to be said that after leaving One-Punch Man, everything started to feel real.

They began again, just as they had done at the beginning, carefully avoiding the red houses and trying to find elite, rare, and even common species below the leader level to fight.

Even someone as strong as Xun Hui would try to avoid fighting the Red House if he encountered it, because he had several burdens with him.

Because the kill value cap is too low, it's easy to exceed it... so Xun Hui can only try to avoid powerful monsters and find weak monsters to feed his "teammates".

During this process, Yue Yun and Nissen's presence became slightly more noticeable. After all, their Luta stats were higher than Wen Xishu's.

After three days of effort, Xun Hui finally completed the journey through more than seventy levels without any major incidents.

The moment Wen Xishu activated the login device by the campfire, he was incredibly excited.

Because it's finally time to claim the reward.

Ignoring the guide's incoherent ramblings, Wen Xishu couldn't wait to start checking his own panel.

The biggest change is that Wen Xishu's Slaughter Tower level has been directly upgraded to level 29, and the maximum Slaughter Value has increased from 200 points to 460 points.

Now, Wenxi Tree can deal with some of the more powerful elite species.

Another benefit is the improved inventory and sequence slots; the sequence slots have increased to 8, and the inventory has increased to 12 slots.

This allows Wen Xishu to have more room to maneuver.

But the reward this time didn't stop there. Defeating Sagittarius also gave Wen Xishu a very special constellation rune - Rage Stacking.

Kill Sequence Runes can only be used to socket into Kill Sequences.

Zodiac Rune - Overwhelming Fury Rune Description:

"If my arrow doesn't kill you, the next one certainly will!"

Rune acquisition method: The earliest humans recognized by the archer have a certain chance of obtaining it.

Rune effect: "When you are enraged, your next sequential attack after equipping this rune will always be stronger than your previous attack."

Sagittarius's arrows are more deadly than the last. This characteristic is actually a rune effect.

Without hesitation, Wen Xishu embedded the rune into his ultimate kick.

This is a real, conceptual level of power. I wonder if the old headmaster has obtained the rune. If he has... it can be said that by maintaining anger and reaching the required number of attacks, he can break through the limit.

Of course, Wenxi Tree's gains didn't stop there.

The red-headed man said:

"How about that? Isn't it a pleasant surprise? But there's something even more surprising waiting for you."

The black-haired ghost wanted to speak, but ultimately remained silent, staring at Wen Xishu with a resentful look that seemed to say, "I was here first."

Wen Xishu ignored this drama queen and said:
“I remember Sagittarius saying that he could help me.”

"Yes, this power is called Starfall."

Red-headed Lu Bu efficiently produced a die, a twelve-sided die.

However, the other sides are blank, with only one side depicting a "bow and crossbow" pattern.

“Here you go. Logically, this should belong to Mr. Albert, but you and Sagittarius have formed a deeper destiny connection, so it ended up with you. Besides… Mr. Albert doesn’t seem to need this kind of assistance.”

Wen Xishu quickly learned the properties of the die. Although it was called a die, it only resembled one in shape; in reality, it was more like a piece of jewelry or a totem.

Orange item: Starfall.

Effect: D-tier effect. Consumes all tower power to summon the full power of the constellation's attack. Also consumes all the gains from the next round of the Ghost Tower.

At first glance, this effect seems to have absolutely no cost-effectiveness.

But after looking at it, Wen Xishu immediately realized that this thing actually had steps.

Rank C effect: When your expected completion level is 5, you can consume all your Tower Power (minimum 5 points) to summon a full-force Constellation Strike. (Limited to once per Tower of Horrors challenge)
Rank B effect: When your expected completion level is 6, you can consume half of your Tower Power (minimum 3 points) to summon the full power of the Constellation. (Limited to once per Tower of Horrors challenge)
Rank A effect: When your expected completion level is 7, you can consume one Tower Power to summon the full power of the constellation. (Limited to once per Tower Challenge)
S-rank effect: When you achieve perfect elimination of obsession (ignoring completion level and only using the best performance as the standard), you will be able to summon the full power of the constellation without consuming any Tower Power.

Wen Xishu understood:

"This thing is linked to the progress of my exploration in the Tower of Ghosts. The closer I get to the pinnacle of my exploration, the less it consumes... In fact, if I achieve something like what happened not long ago, when I helped a few assassins defeat Cain..."

"Can I really get a free full-load constellation attack?"

Red-headed Lu nodded:
"Yes."

Wen Xishu said:
"But then again, if I've already achieved perfection, would I still need his help?"

The red-haired man laughed:

"If you are just one arrow away from achieving the pinnacle of exploring the Tower of Mysteries, then you might as well expend Tower Power to summon this arrow. After all—once you achieve the pinnacle, there will be no more costs."

Wen Xishu finally understood.

This assistance was indeed significant. It can be said that in future explorations of the Tower of Horrors, whenever encountering obstacles in combat strength that prevent us from achieving a high level of mastery, the archers can be used to overcome them.

The purpose of this item is essentially to encourage those exploring the Tower of Ghosts to do their utmost to fully understand the Tower of Ghosts levels rather than relying on invitations.

With this, Wenxi Tree can be considered to have a reliable "guardian".

This thing is almost as strong as Albert's fist.

In the future, when I climb to the higher levels of the Ghost Tower and encounter those saviors or top-tier ghost stories, I'll have a safeguard.

Looking at this harvest, Wen Xishu couldn't wait to start the next adventure in the Mysterious Tower.
