Chapter 289 The Blessing of the Gods Brings Joy

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Benovia looked excited.

The most enjoyable part of ascending to the first, second, and third tiers is dealing with the monsters in the early stages.

These monsters, which can be instantly killed with a single spell, are pure freebies, allowing you to enjoy yourself before you suffer.

That was what Benovia originally thought.

Until she suddenly noticed that several monsters were still resolutely walking towards her after she had wiped out three waves of monsters. It wasn't until the fifth spell hit them that they split in two, turning into stepping stones and magic.

This situation made Benovia frown.

After some testing, she determined the characteristics of this monster.

"It takes five spells to kill it? No, it takes five hits to kill it... What a peculiar rule. Only in the realm of gods would such a strange monster appear."

To deal with this monster.

The best way is to——

"Acid Rain Technique!"

Acid rain fell from the sky above all the monsters with strange mechanics.

This is a second-tier water-based area-of-effect spell with a high-frequency attack characteristic. Each raindrop carries a corrosive negative effect, posing a significant threat.

However, it has a drawback: it can be blocked by almost anything and is basically impossible to break through a shield. Excluding corrosive substances, its power is similar to that of ordinary raindrops; it does cause damage, but not much.

This was Benovia's way of complementing other spells, but for now, it was best used against monsters with these strange mechanics.

Other monsters were unaffected by the acid rain, but all monsters that required multiple attacks to kill instantly dissolved under its influence.

But just as Benovia breathed a sigh of relief, she suddenly noticed a light appearing not far away.

Upon closer inspection, a monster resembling an orc shaman appeared among the monsters, holding a staff and bestowing blessings upon other monsters.

"What is that?" Benovia's eyes widened.

But this is just the beginning.

As monsters and meteors attack, more and more monsters with various mechanics gradually appear.

Some monsters, when killed, will split into several smaller monsters, and when killed again, they will split again... until they are burned by fire magic.

Some monsters don't charge; instead, they hide at a distance and spray acid. This acid corrodes magical shields, but when it encounters other monsters, it strengthens them, giving them the corrosive properties as well, which is quite disgusting.

In addition to that, there is also—

Attacks will automatically counterattack with the same spell;

It has extremely high defense, but it will quickly regenerate if it is not instantly killed.

It starts off very weak, but after one hit it starts to evolve until it becomes unstoppable. Only by ignoring it can you make the opponent commit suicide.

The monsters that can evolve have only minor differences, and some can fake evolution. In reality, they are self-destructing infantry that rush over to self-destruct... and other monsters with strange mechanisms.

Benovia went from being composed at first to becoming utterly disheveled.

Although killing these monsters will greatly elevate her level and grant her a lot of magic power, increasing her foundation for entering the third tier.

But Benovia didn't want to touch them at all.

"Disgusting!"

Once again, due to negligence, a fake evolved beast, which was actually a self-destructing monster like a Creeper, exploded at close range. Benovia was struggling to support herself with her staff, panting heavily.

The girl looked up, only to see that the monsters seemed to continue endlessly...

Come again...

Benovia checked the remaining supplies; there weren't many scrolls left, and most of the auto-trigger equipment had been activated.

Under the influence of the rules, anything beyond one's own rank becomes invalid, and most of her emergency equipment is practically useless.

An idea popped into her mind—

Pray to the gods, young girl!

Give me everything!

"Although I am willing to give everything to the gods, this is not my limit yet!"

"Gods, perhaps you are watching. I want you to see my efforts, so that... you may grant my wish!"

Ross, who was observing from the shadows, couldn't help but think of Benovia's wish.

"I wish to take my father's place on the throne, I wish everyone could have bread and meat at every meal, I wish to realize the legendary happy scene from a thousand years ago..."

He chuckled softly: "It will happen."

Above the sky, along the central line where all the starlight trails converge, a beam of light descended, isolating all the demons.

Benovia looked up at the phantom of Ross that appeared in the sky.

"God...Master..."

A look of infatuation appeared in the girl's eyes, and a smile played on her lips.

She felt the light enter her body, and all her depleted magic power was instantly restored.

She received an enhancement from Ross.

Although she felt she hadn't reached her limit yet, she was still overjoyed at that moment, and a smile involuntarily crept onto her face.

He was practically grinning like an idiot.

"Hey Hey……"

Okay, I'm already grinning like an idiot.

Ross was speechless.

So this time he didn't say anything, offered his blessings, made a brief appearance, and then disappeared.

Benovia, now enhanced, began to wreak havoc on all sides!

She stared at the monsters that would evolve if they were hit.

So you guys are going to evolve indefinitely, huh?

Let's see how far you can evolve!

Benovia used all sorts of spells at will. With an endless supply of magic, she ruthlessly pushed herself and her puppet to the limit in casting spells, unleashing spells without restraint and launching a barrage of attacks.

She had forgotten what she was supposed to do; all she knew was that she was going on a killing spree!

Benovia continued her search even after the last monster was killed.

"Where are they? Where are they? Stop hiding, I know there are invisible monsters... Huh? How did I get to the third tier?"

The girl blinked and realized that she had unknowingly reached the third step and had already completed the ascent.

Benovia felt a lingering sense of satisfaction as the restorative effects within her body slowly faded.

Indeed, divine blessings are more delightful!

Back in reality, Benovia felt the surging magic within her, sat down on the spot, and began to control it.

As her rank increased, the refinement of her magic power decreased significantly as her total magic power increased, making it somewhat difficult for her to control for a while.

However, she quickly brought all the magic under her control.

She checked the time and realized it was already afternoon; her afternoon meditation time was in ten minutes.

"Perhaps I shouldn't let Celia and the others know that I'm at Tier 3... Maybe one of them has already reached Tier 3, but is deliberately hiding it from others?"

Thinking this, Benovia gathered her magic power until it appeared to be only at the second tier.

This convergence is only backward compatible, meaning it only works on those of the same or lower rank; it also has some effect on those of the same rank, but it is difficult to detect unless magic is used; it is ineffective on higher rank.

"In case others sense it after they advance in rank, I will not use magic when I encounter them during meditation."

Benovia smiled as she sensed that her magic power was only at the limit of the second tier.

"Let's leave the first promotion spot to someone else."

Chapter 290 They wouldn't want to see me make a fool of myself, would they?

A tranquil meditation room.

Benovia was the first to enter, and she went to her spot and began meditating immediately.

Although it's not time yet and I won't be five times more efficient, I don't know what to do anyway, so I might as well just meditate.

When the others arrived, Benovia secretly sensed their presence.

It seems that everyone is at the second-order limit.

So, is there anyone who reached level three before me?

Benovia was very curious.

However, if one tries to sense it carefully, it will inevitably reveal one's third-tier status.

After hesitating for a moment, she gave up on doing so.

"Fine, I guess I'll be the last one to advance," Benovia thought, entering a deep meditative state as five times her usual magical power surged in.

……

"In two more days, I should be able to start climbing the steps."

Celia glanced at the others, but didn't sense any change in anyone.

"Could I be the first person to ascend the steps?"

The girl was a little excited.

She asked Ross in her heart, "Lord Ross, may I ascend the steps in a couple of days?"

Ross nodded and smiled, "Three days from now is an auspicious day for ascending the steps. Don't practice spells these two days; instead, draw as many scrolls as possible."

Others use scrolls to climb the steps, which is very expensive, but for Celia, the only cost is the materials, which is a piece of cake.

During this time, apart from practicing spells and trying to reach the second-tier limit, she spent all her time drawing scrolls, just to use them when ascending the steps.

"Will Benovia and the others be going up the stairs in the next couple of days?" Celia couldn't help but ask Ross.

Ross smiled slightly: "There won't be any tomorrow or the day after."

"That's good."

The girl's heart leaped with joy.

……

Three days passed quickly. Originally, Celia planned to skip the morning meditation class and go directly to the steps after applying to the school. However, after thinking about it, Celia decided not to skip the class. It would be a pity to waste five times the meditation efficiency.

So she submitted her application in advance, meditated as usual that morning, and only returned to her dormitory after that. After taking stock of her props, she began the ascent trial.

"It's a familiar place again..."

Celia surveyed the numerous metal pillars around her.

“It seems a little different; there seems to be a layer of ice inside these metal pillars.”

"That's because your element is ice, that's why it turned out this way."

"Oh."

Celia summoned her puppet, equipped it, and began her journey.

Similar to Benovia, as she moved forward, all the surrounding pillars flew up, shattered in mid-air, and turned into countless fragments that spun in the sky with Celia as the center.

The attack method is similar to Benovia's. First, a few pillar fragments fly down to let Celia test her skills, and then a large number of monsters attack.

To be fair, Ross also added a bit of... well, I mean, an interesting mechanic to Celia's ascension.

While Celia struggled with the situation, Ross smiled and said, "Those special monsters hidden among ordinary monsters carry five to ten times more magic power and foundation than ordinary monsters. You should welcome them rather than suffer through them."

Celia: "..."

After defeating a wave of monsters, the girl reached up and touched her cheek, forcing a smile: "Like this?"
