I, the final BOSS of the beta test server!

It seemed as if some inexplicable disaster was about to befall the Mystery Tower, swallowing up everything including himself.

But eventually the dazzling light gradually dimmed, and he turned back into the handsome young man who had amazed Ingrid when they first met.

Last's slightly trembling hands suddenly steadied themselves: "Senior, I want to ask you a question."

"From ancient times to the present, there has been no definitive conclusion as to whether the echoes of history in the night world actually exist, right?"

"Ah."

Ingrid nodded. "The Night Travelers across the entire Western Continent have been discussing this issue for nearly a thousand years, with no result. Perhaps they will continue to argue for many more years."

"The historical background of the Night World's Reverberations does indeed originate from past history... but if it were truly just a mere illusion and echo, it would never have been possible to materialize so realistically."

"According to the records of the Mysterious Tower, even a true Legend cannot detect any difference from reality upon entering the Night World. No matter how one observes, it is clearly a real world."

"Besides, if everything in the night world is illusory, how do we explain the twilight disaster that befell this world?"

She lifted a strand of black hair from her forehead. "So, some scholars have even speculated... that the world we live in today might be a remnant of a vast, time-spanning night world, and that we are merely unwitting copies of the projected world."

"Of course, unless the night world we live in collapses one day, this conjecture is destined to be unprovable and unfalsifiable, and has no practical significance."

Ingrid smiled. "However, if the speculation about the final echo is true—"

"Then perhaps if we conquer all seventy-two night worlds and then clear the final Echo of the End, we'll be able to learn all the secrets of the night world."

While answering, Ingrid was observing Rust's expression out of the corner of her eye.

His face returned to its usual calmness, and even his dark pupils became silent again, like a clear pond that swallowed up the light, leaving only the deepest darkness.

If it were an ordinary person, they would probably think that Last's fleeting expression was just an illusion.

However, as a sixth-level transcendent, in the process of constantly using the Night Blade "Yin Iron", his control over his body has reached the limit of human beings -

Ingrid knew very well that it was not an illusion.

This junior student in front of me, who seemed indifferent to everything, clearly had something extremely terrifying hidden in his heart.

It's like... a demon returning from hell.

Chapter 89: In the field of physical skills, I would like to call you the strongest

Ingrid shuddered slowly.

After activating the Night Blade "Yin Tie", she released her survival instincts and the restrictions of her genetic locks, ignoring the pain and fighting violently... and her colleagues in the military often called her "Demon".

But just now, Ingrid felt that a real evil spirit was staring at her. She couldn't tell at first, but when she thought about it now, a chill ran silently through her body.

She subconsciously wanted to speak, but found that Rast had stood up and walked out of the archives.

"If I can clear the Final Reverberation... will I know the truth about the Night World?"

"Or to put it another way—"

"Since the power of the Night World can easily recreate lost fragments of history, even the Legends cannot tell the difference."

"So does that mean..."

"As long as you master the power equal to that of the Night World Master—"

"Even something that is originally illusory can become real according to one's will?"

Luster's voice came from far away at the entrance of the archives, and Ingrid could only see his back.

"Thank you very much, Senpai."

"No matter what, this trip to the Mysterious Tower was not in vain."

"Although, given the difference in our current status, saying these words may seem a bit arrogant...but later, I will definitely find a way to repay this favor."

……

After returning from the Mysterious Tower, Dean Yin was somewhat confused to find that his long-term meal ticket plan seemed to be ruined again.

Originally, when Last was lying in the school hospital for treatment, Dean Yin stayed by his side all day long, enjoying the closeness with that pure soul every day.

Dean Yin even felt that his long-term sequence progress, which had been stagnant for a long time, began to improve slowly but steadily.

It had a premonition that as long as it persisted at its current pace, in a few years at most or a few months at short, it would be able to break through the barrier that had blocked it for many years and take a step forward.

However, at this most critical moment, Last suddenly betrayed the organization and decided not to stay at home with him.

After relying on the merits of conquering the Frozen Water Town Disaster Echoes, his obelisk ranking was raised to 19th place, and with the help of Hiltina, he successfully applied for permission to enter the headquarters of the Mystery Tower and the world of the Sixth Epoch's Final Night.

Rast began to live a life that revolved around the shooting range, the Ash Court, and the Arcane Tower headquarters.

I rarely even go back to my own dormitory, and most of the time I just find a place to spend the night.

This forced a certain otaku ferret who originally liked to stay at home all day and was reluctant to go out... to experience the life of a book king, spending the whole day reading or on the way to read from morning to night.

There's no way around it, after all, excellent meal tickets like Last are rare.

The opportunity to break through the barrier and go further is right in front of you. Even a lazy dog ​​like Dean Yin has to consider whether this is his only chance in his life.

I can only open the book together.

……

And the other side.

Professor Barbarossa at the headquarters of the Mystery Tower received an inexplicable surprise.

Originally, he thought that Last was just being polite, but he didn't expect that this seemingly weak little guy would actually enter the Mystery Tower on time every day to come to him for practical training.

This also made Professor Barbarossa, who had worked as a security guard in the Mystery Tower for decades and was bored, become restless.

Before he suffered the soul curse and turned into this shameful look, he taught military fighting skills in Lionheart Academy and was a complete battle maniac.

And now that Rast has come to me on his own initiative, isn't this a ready-made sandbag... No, isn't this a raw stone that is green and tender and needs to be carefully carved by myself?

If I don't train this apparently weak little guy, Last, who can't even lift a finger, to be invincible in close combat and able to face all kinds of dangers, then it would be my fault as a professor at Lionheart Academy.

however--

With such respect for teachers and passion for education.

In just half a month, Barbarossa's mood changed from surprise to shock.

……

Swah——

The cold light of the bayonet pierced the air, causing a sonic boom.

Then, it paused in front of the giant ape's heart.

"I surrender."

Professor Barbarossa raised his hairy hands in defeat.

lost.

The humans, no, the orcs were defeated.

He looks quite weak from the outside, and at first glance he is a gigolo who lives off women by hugging their long white legs.

However, when Barbarossa used the "Silent Disqualification" Night Blade as he had promised before, suppressing his physical fitness and rank to the same level as Rust, relying solely on fighting skills and Rust's training.

He was horrified to find that he had been killed by the explosion.

He is clearly a second-level rookie. Judging from his appearance, he is no more than 20 years old. According to the information from the college, he is a freshman who just enrolled this year.

But for some reason, although the techniques used by the opponent were different from the military fighting skills he mastered... his proficiency in close combat was many times more exaggerated than his own, who specialized in this field and earned the title of Titan by relying solely on physical skills.

and--

The fighting skills used by the opponent, and the deadly intent implied in every move, made Barbarossa secretly frightened.

It was clearly so-called "actual combat training", but every move of Last was filled with strong murderous intent... He completely abandoned the beauty of the movements and techniques, and his only pursuit was to kill the target with the least physical effort, the shortest time, and the most efficiency.

"How many people have you killed?"

Professor Barbarossa narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the young man in front of him.

If he hadn't known that Fanxing University had a strict review mechanism for freshmen, he would have almost thought that the person in front of him was a murderer who had massacred several cities and was guilty of heinous crimes.

Even those high-ranking military officials who had personally experienced the battlefield and walked out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood did not have such a strong murderous aura.

"To be honest, I haven't killed many people. The occasional killing was always out of self-protection. Even when I was playing the clown, I would stop at the right time."

"Because Xiao Ai doesn't want me to become a perverted murderer who takes pleasure in taking lives."

Luster smiled slightly: "Except...some things that are no longer human."

"never mind."

Barbarossa shook his huge head and glared fiercely at Dean Yin, who was lying on a wooden table not far away and lazily eating dried fish.

This ferret must have known something in advance, but kept it secret and refused to say anything, watching his colleague being humiliated.

The cliffhanger was intentional.

Dean Yin naturally ignored this fake magical animal. He swung his furry tail and gracefully put the small dried fish into his mouth.

This guy Luster really hasn't killed many people -

If we calculate that he killed a few hundred Iron Crosses in one cycle, he would have killed tens of millions of Iron Crosses.

"Anyway, I can't teach you anything anymore."

Professor Barbarossa sighed and looked at the young man in front of him:

"In the field of Taijutsu—"

"I, Titan Barbarossa, would like to call you the strongest."

Chapter 90 Holy Grenade

[[Forest] Barbarossa's current bond level increased from 2 to 3]]

You have unlocked a new original text.

[Night Blade "Silence Disqualified" - Wither Stone has been unlocked]

……

[The current number of unlocked long-stage sequences has exceeded the first critical point, and the "Fool's Library" has further revived]

[Restrictions lifted, you can use the original texts belonging to different cards at the same time]

[Available original codex slots +3, currently remaining available original codex slots: 3/6]

……

As Professor Barbarossa in front of him said the line that made people suspect that he was about to dance at the next moment.

In Rast's mind, a line of blue words appeared that he had been waiting for for a long time.

"Silence is disqualified"

This psychic Night Blade was finally obtained by Last.

As the number of unlocked long-level sequences in the Fool's Library reached six, the number of original text positions doubled.

This was a pleasant surprise for Last.

After all, with the increasing number of original texts in the Fool's Library, he also felt that the original text slots were a bit insufficient. If he turned on Intuition, he would not have the Eye of Secrets, and if he turned on True Name Liberation, he would not have the Disqualification of Silence.

It can be regarded as a solution to an urgent need.

"I understand, Professor Barbarossa."

"Anyway, thank you for your guidance during this time."

"This is the wine I brought you this time."

"Because you said before that you prefer dark beer, I've changed some of the types and brewing methods based on your taste this time."

Last pointed to the insulated box he brought not far away and expressed his gratitude.

Because he found that the druid professor in front of him liked to drink, Rast also made full use of his expertise as a bartender and sommelier in Deep Blue Harbor, and often brought in various kinds of good wine from outside as an auxiliary means to increase the bond level.

If it weren't for this catering to his needs, coupled with Last's amazing talent in fighting skills, Professor Barbarossa's blood, which had been a security guard for decades but still had a strong passion, would have once again been boiling, and he would have rediscovered his passion for fighting...

There was no way that Last could raise Professor Barbarossa's favorability to level 3 in just half a month and obtain the original copy of "Silent Disqualification: Withering Stone".
