I, the final BOSS of the beta test server!

Therefore, even a news agency with a pervasive nose has very little information about the number one student in the college.

However, the few fragments that have survived are shocking enough.

Not only does it take first place in the obelisk rankings based on its contribution to the Night World strategy.

Even in terms of pure combat power, Axia is recognized as the best in the entire Star University.

In the third grade, she surpassed the fourth grade at that time with the fourth level, and even broke through the fifth level of the previous chief, firmly occupying the top spot in the Obelisk ranking.

And now Axia has reached the fifth level... Almost all students recognize that she is the strongest person in Star University.

The only one who could possibly challenge Akshia's status is Hiltina... But Hiltina is only in the second grade after all, and has just broken through to the fourth level.

By the time Shiltina breaks through to level five and reaches the same level as Akshia, she will most likely have graduated from Star University and will no longer have a chance to compete.

but--

no matter what.

Judging from the various information collected by Last, this person who is now ranked first in the Obelisk and the strongest among the students of Star University should be a pure combat-type night traveler.

There's no need to even gather intelligence.

The long steps of the "Death God" sequence and the night blade called "Angel of Death" are enough to explain everything.

No matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with the word "doctor" who saves lives.

A strange sense of disharmony arose in Rast's heart, and he wanted to ask Dean Yin for more details, but a certain ferret cleverly avoided all his questions.

Helplessly, Rast waited for the arrival of the "doctor" that Dean Yin mentioned. He had nothing to do...

I could only sink my spirit into my mind.

He was ready to sort out his gains from this night world—

And find out the real reason why the night world replay was ineffective for him.

……

[Night World Quest - "Echoes of Disaster: Guardian of the Mist" Completed]

[Current task rating: A++]

【Task rewards have been issued】

[Sequence experience points have been issued, the specific progress can be checked by yourself]

[You have acquired the inherent skill: "Desperate Plea"]

……

You have forged a new "fate" and the Fool's Library: The Long Stairs of Destiny has been unlocked.

[You unlocked a new card - 『Destiny』 Gray]

Chapter 75: About the incident where I overheard the thoughts of the most beautiful girl in the academy (Three in One)

"[Destiny] Gray"

Looking at the line of shining blue text in the spiritual world, Last fell into deep thought.

In other words.

The long sequence that Gray possesses is called "Destiny"?

Last had previously consulted the database of the Arcane Tower of the Ruins Institute and wrote down all the sequence information.

So he was very sure.

"destiny".

This is a completely new sequence of long steps that has never appeared in the modern world, and there is no record of it in ancient books, not even a name left behind...

It is very likely that it is a unique sequence, just like his own "Tower" and Dean Yin's "Moon".

There is only one such copy in the world, and it is impossible to find a second extraordinary person of the same sequence.

Of course, as a time traveler with memories of past lives.

Rast naturally knew that the Destiny card was also one of the twenty-two "Major Arcana" cards in the Tarot deck.

"Destiny?"

"It matches Gray's ability to go back in time and warp the trajectory of fate quite well, as she demonstrated in the Night World."

In this case, it is no wonder that this sequence is extremely rare, and even the Ruins Institute has no record of it.

At such a young age, Gray probably hadn't even reached the first level before, but the power she displayed could only be described as supermodel.

If it were any other sequence, let alone being at the same level 1, even if it was level 4 or 5, it would be very likely to fail in Frozen Water Town if one wasn't careful.

What if the extraordinary people in the "Destiny" sequence could be mass-produced?

All I can say is that the numerical planners of "Snow Moon Emblem" did put some effort into the game balance, at least they did not forget the theorem that "strength is positively correlated with difficulty of acquisition", which is something that krypton gold games must abide by.

Of course, it is better than raising the planned horse high.

What concerned Last more was another message contained in this line of azure text.

By establishing bonds with the extraordinary beings in the night world, you can also unlock Tarot cards and the corresponding sequence long levels in the "Fool's Library"?

The hidden meaning in this is not simple.

According to Hiltina's introduction, including the information Rast himself found in the Mystery Tower, the current mainstream academic view is that—

The world that the night traveler experiences in the night world seems real, but in fact it is just an illusion that the night world once recorded and projected and simulated.

Reflections of the past, echoes of history, and the embers of civilization.

That is something that has long since passed away. Even if it seems and feels real, it is ultimately just a memory, an afterimage, and not a real world.

However, can these illusory and illusive things... also forge a bond with me, and even allow the "Fool's Library" to unlock new cards?

Or--

The night world is actually not as simple as the "reverberations" and "reflections" that travelers think it is.

Even Canaan and Xiao Ai...

Luster forcibly interrupted the thoughts that were constantly wandering in his mind.

He knew very well that no matter how many guesses he made in his mind, they would be nothing but empty talk before they were actually verified.

It has no practical significance and will only distract him unnecessarily.

Last focused his attention back on the messages from the spiritual world.

First of all, there are the rewards for completing this night world.

This time his mission score was "A++".

According to the information in the Arcana Tower, in the Night World's ratings, "F" to "A" are regular grades, and the plus sign at the end represents additional points above the regular grade.

"EX" means something that cannot be measured numerically.

His previous score for completing Deep Blue Harbor was "EX", but this time it was "A++". Judging from the rating alone, it should be a bit lower.

Of course, this was also within Last's expectations. After all, what he had to face in Deep Blue Harbor was the Iron Cross of an entire city, and the true body of the evil god who was very likely to have descended from the sky.

If it weren't for Last's three hundred years of repeated trials and errors, completing the nearly impossible backboard, accumulating incredible experience, and successfully preventing the God's Descent...

Even if a fifth-level or even sixth-level night traveler came to the night world of Deep Blue Port and faced a completely divine evil god, there is a great possibility of defeat, and even survival would become a luxury.

The real mastermind behind Dongshui Town is not as exaggerated as he seems. He is just a fully activated pollutant that can borrow some of the power of the god "Zhu Yue".

The real difficulty in the strategy of the Frozen Water Town Disaster Reverberation lies in breaking the time and space loop caused by Gray... and those teammates who got lost in the disaster reverberation first and became hostile puppets.

As long as these two problems can be solved, even a transcendent who is bound to the peak of the third level due to the reverberation limit has the possibility of passing the level.

Of course, even though Last had just reached the second level and cleared the Echo of the Disaster, even with the assistance of Hiltina, the "A++" rating was still relatively objective.

In Starry University, most of the strategy team members' scores when entering the Night World only fluctuate between C and D, and there are also some geniuses like Rodri who always have an F score.

"According to Hiltina, if you score A or above, there's a high chance that clearing the game will yield unique skills and emblem equipment."

"And yet, I scored so high this time, yet I didn't receive any new emblem equipment..."

"In other words, the inherent skill produced should be quite good."

Thinking of this, Rast felt a little bit of anticipation in his heart.

The rewards for missions in the Night World have always been extremely stingy.

In addition to the fixed sequence experience points issued according to the score.

Below an A score, there is a 99% chance that only one-time consumable items will be rewarded, such as the "Instant Healing Crystal" that Hiltina used to save herself from the brink of death in Deep Blue Harbor.

However, this kind of disposable extraordinary prop can only be used in emergencies and is not of much help to the overall strength of a night traveler.

Therefore, the most precious rewards in the Night World are naturally the "inherent skills" and "heraldic attire" that can permanently enhance the strength of a transcendent.

The former can be understood as a permanent passive skill. Some powerful inherent skills can even be compared with the abilities of the Sequence Master itself, or even the Night Blade, such as Rust's "Heart of Iron".

This inherent skill, combined with Last's extraordinary willpower, means that almost all mental abilities cannot take effect on Last, unless it is a dimensionality reduction attack that surpasses him by several levels.

Needless to say, the Heraldic Suit was extremely powerful. As the only extraordinary equipment that could be brought into the Night World... at the same level, the combat effectiveness of the Six Gods Suit and the Empty Equipment was naturally worlds apart.

Unlike inherent skills, the heraldic equipment is not bound to the recipient, but has the possibility of soul unbinding and trade and gift.

However, the emblem is also the most difficult to obtain. Not only can it only be produced with an A rating or above, but even if a costume is really dropped, its type may not be to your liking... It's like if a rapier user like Hiltina were to use a spear-shaped emblem costume, it would naturally be awkward no matter how she used it.

If there weren't so many thresholds, with Hiltina's "True Name Liberation" Night Blade, she would have to buy at least ten or eight pieces of equipment, and every time she entered the night world, she would wash it with a light cannon first.

Of course, this is mainly because Hiltina is unwilling to admit her identity as a princess, and she has rejected all resources and support from the royal family.

Otherwise, given her status as the first princess of the Granville Empire, it would not be difficult for Hiltina to prepare a few gifts for herself.

This time in Frozen Water Town, she seemed to have released the true name of the rapier twice in succession, completely destroying the ceremonial dress called "Shining Morning Star".

I don't know... if there is any way to forge another one.

With such thoughts in mind, Last looked at the new inherent skills he had acquired this time.

Desperate Plea

[Category: Inherent Skills]

[A dream atop the ruins, a mottled shadow... The girl calls herself an evil monster, denying the past, denying everything, forever trapping herself in a lightless bubble of fantasy. In the dark, starless nights, she desperately prays for light to arrive.]

So, the hero who answered the girl's prayers and cries, shattered her false dreams, and allowed her to escape the quagmire of despair and move towards the future once again...was he actually an illusion, or was he real?

[Skill Effect: When the holder is near death, refuses death once.]

[The cooldown period of this skill is one complete Night World Reverberation, or 30 days of real-time time outside the Night World.]

[Current inherent skill cooldown time: 14 days, 23 hours, and 11 minutes]

When on the verge of death, completely refuse to die once...

In other words, it is equivalent to giving yourself an extra life.

Whose famous sword is Siming?

And... looking at the cooling time status bar, I have already triggered the "resist death" effect once?

Last recalled Dean Silver's earlier description.

According to it, when it just came out of the night world, it was not much better than the living dead, and had half a foot in the ground.

Presumably, it was the effect of the skill "Desperate Plea" that allowed him to hold on to his last breath and not directly become one of the stars on the Starry Obelisk.

Thinking of this, Rast's mind moved slightly.

His consciousness sank again and he entered the "Library of Fools".

Rast felt like he was once again in the dark tower.

He stood at the center of the tower, with endless darkness in front of him, and only the faint shining of stars in the distance.

In the deep darkness, there are twenty-one pale long steps, starting from the ground under Rast's feet, extending upward to the highest point of the tower, the end of the distant deep space.

However, compared to when they first entered, nineteen of the twenty-one long steps were sealed with light golden chains.

The "Library of Fools" is much brighter at this moment.

A small half of the pale long steps have been completely unsealed. At the starting point of the steps, a series of illusory cards are slowly rotating, and bright spots of light are gathering around them.
