I have a hero simulator

In the original novel, there are five major obstacles here: the three gluttons, the sword master Red, Shaula's transformation into a giant scorpion, the group of monsters outside the tower, and the black shadow that devoured the tower.

Except for the last one, which has not been encountered yet and has no solution.

Pandora ordered the witch to teach them to join forces with Shen Yuan to attack the Sage Tower together.

The Witch Cult, acting as cannon fodder, not only resolved the attack of the group of monsters outside the tower, but also sent Gluttony and Wrath to fight against the giant scorpion-turned Shaula. Finally, Lust was sent to clean up the obstacles, and they led their subordinates deep into the underground palace to dig out the location of the shrine of the Witch of Envy.

On the contrary, Shen Yuan and his group chose to go to the Sage Tower on the upper level to complete the trial.

......

"[Keraino] - the fifth floor of the Watchtower, the first floor above ground."

At the large spiral staircase connecting to the sixth floor, they came to a huge hall with almost no features except for a huge door leading to the outside of the watchtower.

The door is about ten meters high and is connected to some kind of mechanical opening system that relies on touch sensing to open and close.

"Are we going out?"

"No need, go to the fourth floor (the second floor above ground)!"

"This is [Archeyune]..."

The Greedy Witch was flipping through the Book of Wisdom. She seemed to know the name of every floor here and its general content.

This floor is the Guardian's lounge, Shaula's residence, and also contains the Green Room where the elves reside. It provides healing springs and various conveniences to those who enter.

"Save point?"

Looking at the hall that looked like a place for people to get supplies, a term from the game popped up in Shen Yuan's mind.

This is exactly the same as the save point.

There are fountains for healing, canteens and restaurants, and rest rooms.

"Keep going, to the third floor!"

"[Tagit] - the entrance to the trial."

Echidna closed the Book of Wisdom and walked up the spiral staircase with everyone else, entering a pure white space that seemed extremely inconsistent with the outside world.

In the space, there stood a huge and smooth black stone slab.

"what is this?"

"The Trial Monument. If anyone touches the stone slab, the entire space will enter a 'Trial' state, and a series of identical giant stone slabs will appear and fly across space, eventually floating in the corresponding positions of stars and their constellations."

Echidna patiently explained, "The first trial will take place on this floor, challenging the challenger to 'touch the most glorious moment of the hero destroyed by Shaula.' If the trial is completed, this place will become a great library, where one can read the numerous books of the dead."

“Who is the enemy? Sage Shaula?”

"Isn't she being entangled by the Archbishops of Gluttony and Wrath? How can she proceed with the trial?"

"If she hadn't come, I might have just cleared the level."

As he spoke, Shen Yuan touched the black stone slab. With a glare of light, the black stone slab emitted a dazzling light.

Then, the stone slab split into several pieces and scattered throughout the white space, but was soon found by everyone.

"What's next?"

“I don’t know.” Echidna said this, and then she speculated, “I think it has something to do with the Sage Shaula. Her true form is a giant scorpion. Could it be related to scorpions?”

"I understand."

Hearing this, Shen Yuan reacted instantly.

If arranged according to the constellations, Shaula represents a cluster of stars in the constellation of Pseudo-Scorpio, located in the northern part of Scorpio and is the second brightest star in Scorpio.

Interestingly, this trial refers to astrology and legends that only exist on Earth, and the condition for passing is to touch the stars that represent and constitute the target.

Of course, it doesn’t form a Scorpio.

The hint above was clear: "Touch the most glorious moment of the hero destroyed by Shaula." In Earth's mythology, the hero who was killed by the scorpion was called Orion, and after his death, he turned into the constellation Orion.

In other words, the answer is "Orion".

As expected of Shen Yuan who had read the script, and considering his identity as an Earthling, he quickly arranged the scattered black stones in the white space into the shape of Orion, and then touched the brightest stone among them.

"Buzzing—"

In an instant, the white room was surrounded by dazzling light.

The sounds and sights were left behind, everything disappeared, and finally -

"Trial passed."

The moment the light disappeared, Shen Yuan and others were in the center of a room surrounded by countless bookshelves.

"Amazing!"

Emilia, Rem, and the others were stunned. Even Echidna couldn't believe that someone could pass it in one go.

In particular, this legend is known only to time travelers. Among the locals in the other world, only a few have heard of this story. It is also a level designed by the sage himself.

This meant that the First Sage might be a time traveler, and that Shaula had designed this trial after hearing many stories about Earth.

"Keep going, to the higher levels!"

After solving the puzzle, Shen Yuan did not feel any sense of accomplishment. Instead, he felt that it was too easy.

But little do people know that this level is the most difficult one for many people.

"[Electra] - Fourth floor above ground. Trial 2."

After walking up a long flight of stairs, Shen Yuan and the others, led by Echidna, arrived at the location of the second trial.

There is only one sword on this floor, inserted vertically in the center of its space.

"Sword? A combat-related trial?"

His intuition told him that once someone touched the sword, the second trial in the Pleiades Watchtower would begin.

"I come."

Shen Yuan walked forward and grasped the hilt of the sword directly.

......... ........ .......

However, the moment his fingers touched it, a surge of magical power appeared, and a red-haired man like a ferocious beast appeared not far in front of him.

"Hahaha, it's finally here!"

In front of everyone, the trial officer of this floor stood leisurely in the room, laughing like a shark.

"He is the [First Sword Saint, Red]. The condition for passing this level of the trial is to gain his approval."

"That voice? Hmm, Echidna? I didn't expect you to still be alive... But judging by your actions, you seem to be aiming to reach the top of the tower and confront the dragon. Excuse me, but until then, I'll be your opponent!"

Although he was the first generation sword master, the being before him was only a "spiritual body".

"Defeating this soul in the final duel will mean the end of the trial, right?"

Shen Yuan, carrying the Scythe of Souls, smiled happily. This trial was a piece of cake for him.

"Be careful, Red is a master swordsman! He possesses immense strength, and in his youth, he slew countless dragons with his dragon sword!"

"No problem, I'll challenge him."

Shen Yuan took a step forward.

"Young man, don't be too proud. This is all I need to deal with a novice like you who doesn't have great skills."

Reid smiled and picked up a wooden stick to deal with Shen Yuan.

This action was simply astonishing, and so were the others. Everyone knew that Shen Yuan was very powerful and could easily defeat strong men like the Melancholy Demon.

However, the first generation sword master in front of him showed a ferocious smile, and he spoke as if he respected his opponent.

"Since this is the first attack, please allow me to go all out—how about that!"

As he shouted, Reid took a step forward and assumed the stance of drawing his sword.

"Then give it a try."

Shen Yuan also showed a malicious light because of the provocation. His Soul-Taking Scythe emitted a faint green glow and exuded an aura of destruction.

——Soul-sucking Strike (380 million layers)!

This was the first time Shen Yuan used the power of God. Since it was a full-strength attack, he had to give the opponent enough respect.

"What? You're hiding this kind of power, you bastard? But—look carefully, this is the pinnacle of swordsmanship, the ultimate secret of swordsmanship!"

However, Reid, who sensed this terrifying aura, laughed even harder, and the wooden stick in his hand instantly drew a parabolic slash.

The slash was as fast as thunder, transforming into a surging wave of light that engulfed everything it encountered and crushed them.

This power can cut through light, air, space, and even dimensions and concepts. It is the ultimate secret of swordsmanship.

"Powerful Dimensional Slash! But are you sure you can hurt me?"

At the moment of the slash, Shen Yuan's figure strangely turned into a black shadow and poured into the body of the first generation sword saint Red, making his slash miss, and the sound also came from Red's soul.

"what?"

Red looked at his shadow in astonishment. The shadow was in the shape of a young man with long hair, not him.

Then, the shadow made a strange movement, as if swinging a sickle. In an instant, he felt an immense weakness and pain. As the huge damage was accompanied by the soul-sucking attack, Red's soul turned into countless fragments. He finally uttered a sentence helplessly: "So that's it..."

——The ultimate secret of assassination [Shadow Splitting (R Skill)]! 2.

Chapter 262: The Dragon Appears! The Witch of Jealousy Appears!

The air is filled with the smell of death.

Before the first generation Sword Saint Red started his attack, Shen Yuan touched his weapon in advance, and Shen Yuan exchanged shadows with him as early as when he was preparing for the battle.

Red didn't know that his shadow had already changed. The moment the battle started, Shen Yuan used [Shadow Rift] to invade his soul, destroying it from the inside out, instantly causing more than 300 million damage. For Red, this value was enough to kill him hundreds of times.

Even though his swordsmanship was very strong, he was still helpless against this God of Assassins.

The results of the second trial are as follows.

——The one who achieved it, Shen Yuan.

——Those who failed to achieve it: Emilia, Beatrice, Ram, Rem, Pandora, and Echidna.

——The "Trial" ends.

——Trialist, death.

It is equivalent to Shen Yuan killing Reid who is in charge of this floor, so everyone has passed.

There's no way around it, rules are meant to be broken.

"Let's go to the last floor, [Maia]. The top floor of the tower, where the final trial is held!"

When the Greedy Witch said this.

Everyone arrived at the end of the stairs, ready to go, and came to a huge door of glory.

"Open this door, and the trial begins."

"Leave it to you, Shen Yuan!"

"come on!"

Without a doubt, it was Shen Yuan who pushed open the door with all his strength.

He faced three trials alone and had passed the two major tests of intelligence and strength, but when he pushed open the third door, everyone was stunned.

They all showed expressions of shock and disbelief.

"That is--!"

It’s hard to imagine, and I dare not imagine it.

Echidna's eyes widened as if she had seen an old acquaintance, and the beautiful white-blonde girl Pandora also revealed a dangerous smile.

The others, Ram and Rem, held each other's hands, while Emilia stared at the "creature" in front of her in amazement.

What she faced was a terrifyingly powerful being wrapped in blue glowing scales.

Throughout the entire Lugnica Kingdom—no, it should be said that everyone in the world knows about this existence.
