I, the final BOSS of the beta test server!

"As for the world of the Sixth Epoch's final night—"

"At this moment, it is in the Mysterious Tower."

Chapter 86 Canaan Files

The end of the era, the end of the night world.

And the lingering echoes of the end.

Listening to Ingrid's words, Rast couldn't help but fall into thought.

It was just a historical fragment of an ordinary night world, but the disaster it caused was already unbearable.

So, what if there was a disaster at the end of the era that destroyed the entire civilization?

"What would happen if this final night world could not be conquered?"

"I don't know..."

Ingrid shook her head. "It's said that the First Epoch's Final Echoes failed, leading to the Final Disaster that descended upon the world... directly wiping out over seventy percent of the continent's population."

"However, the time was too long ago, and technology was not yet developed. Many historical records and traditions were interrupted by the catastrophe. This is just speculation made by later generations based on archaeological remains."

"After that, every time the exploration of the Night World Era came to an end, the strategy for conquering the Final Echo almost entirely came at the cost of human lives."

"In an ordinary night world, if the coordinates are relatively remote, there's the possibility of evacuating the local residents and strategically abandoning the attack, allowing the dusk disaster to manifest in the real world and then suppressing it with technology."

"But it's clear that no one dares to allow a world-destroying disaster to unfold in the present world. At that time, even hostile continental nations would work together."

"Besides, even the final echoes of the First Age...are of no reference value to our current situation."

She took out a crest from her bosom and placed it on the sensing groove at the entrance of the Arcane Tower.

The next moment, an inconspicuous door slid open silently.

"After all, the final echoes of the First Age are, in the final analysis, merely the watershed between two eras."

"However, the end of the Sixth Epoch is not just the end of an epoch."

"And also, the end of all old history and the entire night world."

At this point, Ingrid's words couldn't help but become a little heavier.

The end of the entire night world——

It also means that all night travelers, including the Star University’s mission that has been passed down for thousands of years, will come to an end.

This undoubtedly symbolizes the release of the heavy shackles that bind the hearts of every extraordinary person.

But at the same time, no one is actually looking forward to that moment actually coming.

Because everyone knows in their hearts... even the most ordinary reverberation of a disaster requires an extremely heavy sacrifice, let alone the last reverberation.

If the process of conquering the night world is compared to a tower climbing game where "if you're a man, go to the 100th floor", then the 72 ordinary night worlds are the small elite monsters on each floor, and the final echo that appears after twelve night worlds is the middle boss.

At the end of the seventy-two night worlds, what awaits the night travelers is undoubtedly the great devil at the top of the tower.

People only have one life, and night travelers cannot go back and start over.

"The Academy and the Imperial Military invested massive resources in the joint construction of the Arcane Tower. The so-called storage of classified intelligence was merely a side benefit... The primary purpose was to suppress this Apocalyptic World."

"But there's no need to be so pessimistic."

Ingrid smiled and walked into the Arcane Tower with Last and Dean Yin. "Based on the experience of the previous epochs, the Final Reverberations will never riot until the remaining night worlds of the Sixth Epoch are fully explored and the conquest is complete."

"In fact, quite the opposite. As the world of Final Night that records the entire history of the Sixth Epoch..."

"Unlike ordinary night worlds, which only allow access to certain fragmented disaster nodes and are subject to numerous restrictions, the Apocalyptic Night World offers an extremely high degree of freedom. Not only are there no restrictions on the rank of night travelers, but almost all sequences of compatibility are also accessible."

"In the Apocalyptic Night World, you could enter any time point throughout the Sixth Epoch, from the golden age at the dawn of civilization to the end of the epoch... And even for sequences that are extremely rare in the present world, or even have been lost, once you enter them, the Night World will automatically match you with a Night World dungeon suitable for your level and abilities based on your affinity."

"The only drawback of the End Night World is that you can't enter in a group... But as a night traveler, as long as you're not afraid of danger, then the End Night World is the best option, whether from the perspective of self-improvement or exploring historical secrets."

"Elites from Starry University like Hiltina, myself included, often enter it. Once the academy applies for permission for you, you, Last, can also try entering the Apocalypse World and see for yourself."

She glanced at Rast's empty shoulders and said, "It's a pity that Dean Yin can't enter the Night World. Otherwise, perhaps in the Final Night World, he could also find a way to break through that rare sequence."

Last also glanced at the hood behind him, and saw Dean Yin was silent and motionless.

However, since this talkative ferret did not jump out to refute, it means that most of what Ingrid said is correct.

……

After entering the Mysterious Tower, the two people and the beast passed many checkpoints, including purely technological means such as iris and fingerprint verification.

There are also some levels belonging to the extraordinary side, with magical colors, such as the sphinx statue that will scan their whole body with sharp eyes and ask some strange questions, which makes Last suspect that it will jump down and bite people if they answer incorrectly.

However, under Ingrid's leadership, they did not encounter any real obstacles along the way, and they climbed up the steps of the tower.

until--

On a certain floor of the Mystery Tower, in front of a huge archive, a gigantic, nearly ten-meter-tall... gorilla appeared?

It looked at the two people and one beast walking up the stairs, and a gleam of human wisdom flashed in its eyes.

"Ingrid, Dean Silver... and Last, right?" A low, mighty roar came out of its mouth.

"Fuck, ape..."

Rust poked a ferret, implying that this giant ape was undoubtedly his kind.

Magical creatures, as the director of the Institute of Magical Creatures, isn't this exactly your area of ​​expertise?

Dean Yin rolled his eyes at him, and a somewhat impatient voice echoed directly in Luster's mind: "How can a magical beast be so cheap? This one is a genuine human, from the Forest Sequence."

"forest?"

"Well, the fifth-level ability of the Forest Sequence Elder is Druid, which allows one's body to temporarily transform into the appearance of various animals."

"That unfortunate fellow, Barbarossa, used to be a professor at Lionheart Academy. Later, while conquering the Night World, his soul was cursed and twisted. His soul and body no longer matched, and he was permanently transformed into a Druid, unable to change back. Even the Night World's Rewind can't do anything to his soul."

"He's in no condition to teach anymore, and he's too embarrassed to show up in public... so he just came to the Arcana Tower and took on a sinecure to guard it."

"Or rather, he's here to be a security guard." Dean Yin's voice was filled with a hint of gloating.

On the other side, Ingrid had already bowed slightly to the giant ape, her voice respectful.

"Professor Barbarossa."

"According to our appointment, we are here to retrieve Canaan's ninth-level confidential files."

Chapter 87: The Secret of Canaan (5k)

"Well, I received the news in advance."

Professor Barbarossa, who looked like a gorilla, glanced at Ingrid through his gold-rimmed glasses. He was clearly no stranger to this high-ranking military official. "Since you also have the authority to search the Level 9 archives, I will not interfere."

As he spoke, he turned sideways to make way for the archives behind.

Ingrid saluted him again with a standard military salute, and then brought Rast in.

As Rast followed Ingrid and passed by her.

He noticed a change in the energy around him. Professor Barbarossa lowered his gaze, and his beastly eyes were fixed on him.

"The newcomer chosen by that ferret?"

Perhaps because of his enormous size, Professor Barbarossa's voice was like a thunderous roar: "The fact that that ferret took a fancy to you shows that you must have a good character and talent."

"But judging by your weak aura, you're probably no more than level three at best. You probably haven't been to the Night World many times."

"The academy's ideals are noble... but before truly entering Reverberation, you must not be swayed by the will and expectations of others, but make your own decisions."

"You only have one life. Once you enter the night world, there's no turning back."

"It's not shameful to avoid risks appropriately and choose to escape before you have that awareness."

Professor Barbarossa's words were a bit more serious: "In the past few years of watching over the Arcana Tower, I have seen too many cases."

"It's still relatively good for someone like me to become a half-human, half-ghost. Many other high-spirited night travelers have fallen asleep in the night world, and even their corpses can't be brought back."

"What's more, while the rewards of the Arcana Tower's Final Night World are greater, the dangers are far greater than any other comparable worlds... Not only is it impossible to enter as a team, but even the historical background nodes are uncertain, making it impossible to gather targeted intelligence."

He changed the subject and spoke earnestly, "So, little Last, if you're interested in exploring the world of Final Night... you can come to me more often. I'll provide you with practical training."

"I have guarded the Arcana Tower for so many years. No one knows the world of Doomsday better than me."

The professor's gold-rimmed lenses flashed with wisdom. "If I give you special training, your chances of surviving the night world will definitely increase significantly."

"Don't bother with this big idiot."

Dean Yin jumped onto Rust's shoulder and rolled his eyes at the giant ape who was boasting about himself.

"When he was a professor at Lionheart Academy, he was a restless belligerent. He always gave the students a hard time during practical classes."

"He's become this mess now, having been transferred to the Arcana Tower as a security guard... There are only a few Night Travelers with the authority to enter the Arcana Tower and the Apocalypse World, and they all have missions to complete, so they don't have time to chat with him."

"After all these years, he's probably been bored out of his mind. Every time he catches a new guy, he uses this practical training as an excuse. To put it bluntly, he just wants someone to keep him company."

"Just pretend you didn't hear it."

It turned out to be like this...

Last looked at the huge body emitting a visible aura, and Professor Barbarossa, who was looking down at him with gold-rimmed glasses, and actually read a hint of eager anticipation in the beast's eyes.

It’s like the empty-nest elderly people in the countryside, who watch their younger generations who come back to visit leave after just a few days, and want to keep them but can’t open their mouths because of face.

"Professor Barbarossa, can I ask you a question?"

Luster thought for a moment and then asked.

"What are the specific uses of your Night Blade?"

"My Nightblade?"

Barbarossa was visibly stunned.

"As a freshman of your level, you shouldn't be allowed to ask for information about my Night Blade."

"But he's an outstanding freshman in the academy after all, so it's normal for him to be a little curious. Let's give that ferret some face."

Barbarossa's voice was filled with the majesty that befitted his status, but his response was unusually quick, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

"My Night Blade is called 'Silent Disqualification'. I've currently developed two abilities. The most basic effect, 'Withering Stone', negates any 'supernatural' that comes into contact with my body."

"Of course, this kind of neutralization of transcendents has certain limitations. For example, it cannot affect the mind and soul. Another example is that it can only completely neutralize and immunize transcendents of lower rank than oneself."

"But once I face an enemy of my own rank or higher, I can only disqualify their extraordinary abilities to a certain extent, reducing their effectiveness."

As if afraid that Last would lose interest, Barbarossa quickly added.

"The second level of ability I developed is the 'Lake of Silence'. As the name suggests, it can form an outward-facing domain, disqualifying the extraordinary within it and placing them in a state of silence."

"Of course, the limitations of the external Silence Field are greater, so it can generally only be used to bully smaller enemies."

"So, little Rust, you don't have to worry about my level being too high and unable to provide you with practical training."

"When I was at Lionheart Academy, the course I was in charge of was military combat techniques. I could also cast the field of silence on myself, suppressing my level to the same level as yours, so I could serve as your sparring partner."

As if worried that Last didn't believe it, Barbarossa's figure quickly shrank with a distorted light.

Soon, he changed from the original giant ape appearance of nearly ten meters to the size of a person who is only slightly taller than a normal person.

But it still looks like a gorilla.

Last noticed that as Professor Barbarossa shrank, the pair of gold-rimmed glasses he was wearing also shrank along with him.

There is no doubt that these gold-rimmed glasses are also a heraldic ceremonial item.

I just don't know what the effect is.

"Is Professor Barbarossa's Night Blade so special that it disqualifies all other transcendental beings?"

Listening to the professor's explanation, Rast's heart couldn't help but move, and he asked in a moonlit whisper.

"That's right. This brute is clearly from the Forest class. The long ranks of this class are primarily focused on support and logistics, and the Druid's beast transformation is only a means of survival when cornered... But Barbarossa's fighting style is no different from that of a Chariot."

"Every time we fought, he would use his druid form to transform into a giant beast and charge straight in. Everyone else's supernatural abilities were "disqualified" anyway, so a physical fight with their physique and physical skills was unlikely to defeat this reckless man."

Having said this, Dean Yin couldn't help but glance at Last suspiciously.

Given this kid's usual personality of never coming to someone's house for no reason, he's asking so seriously at this moment.

If nothing unexpected happens...
