Chapter 163: Tower of Death: Please Call Me the Tower of Dreams

"After this, I won't bother you again. In the future, I'll have to trouble you to find another outstanding fighter to represent Shuchiin in the Kengan Tournament."

Amuro Toru adjusted the mask on his face. Although the old man behind him couldn't see, he still showed a perfect fake smile and said, "Master Shinomiya, thank you for your care during this time."

"Oh? It seems you've completed your mission, young man. How's the situation on Yuanliu Island? After all, as you know, I don't pay much attention to what's going on there anymore."

"We're old now, and we're no longer as strong as we were when we were young. With limited energy, we can only give up some unimportant things. We really can't accept our age. —— Young man, please ask your boss for me."

Old Man Shigong Yan'an's characteristically skinny and short body was still half hidden in the darkness. Like an ordinary old man caring about his younger generation, he began to ramble on, "Oh, by the way, now that you've completed this mission, what are your plans for the future?"

Old fox!

Amuro cursed inwardly with a forced smile. If someone said that this old guy didn't know the current situation of Yuanliu Island, he would be the first one to disbelieve it!

I'm afraid that the detailed information about what happened on Yuanliu Island that night was passed to Shigong Yan'an without having to wait until the next day.

It's like - before Toru Amuro became this old man's fighter as a representative of the Black Organization, he never thought that he would have such a deep connection with the Black Organization.

but……

Amuro Toru's mind shifted. The old man's question was quite what he wanted. He also jokingly said with the same respect for the old man, "After that, I plan to apply for a job at a 'famous' paranormal agency to make a living. After all..."

“I’m unemployed now.”

Amuro Toru glanced in the direction of Shinomiya Gan'an and said almost explicitly, "I think the head of the Shinomiya family should be familiar with this firm, right?"

In response, Shigong Yanan only uttered a puzzled nasal sound:

"Oh?"

……

……

Just when Xia Yan didn't know that a black-skinned policeman had brought the Japanese into the village and sold him directly, wanting to use him as a cannon fodder for exploration.

"Squeak~"

"Are you back already?"

Yukinoshita Yukino, who seemed to have not appeared for a long time, casually stretched out her hand and pushed the door of the office open unexpectedly. Her eyes couldn't help but light up slightly.

After taking a calm glance at her clothes and calmly compressing her mind, Yukino opened the door with a calm expression and walked into the office. Then...

"Puchi~"

Yukino's success was broken in a second, and she couldn't help but chuckle with her hands covering her mouth and her face slightly turned.

Because at this moment in the office, there was a person with a quilt standing in front of the desk with his back to her, seemingly fiddling with something.

The quilt lovers in Tokyo are very concerned about your health.jpg

Just by seeing the back, I instantly confirmed who this guy was, Yukino. For some reason, this thought flashed through my mind.

"Are you... going to challenge that tower again?"

Xueno came to the front of the quilt spirit and glanced at a blue light panel floating in front of him. Then she stretched out her bare hand and pulled open the corner of the quilt on the side of the man's face. With a faint beautiful smile on her face, she subconsciously poked the man's flushed face.

"more or less."

Xia Yan grabbed the funny little hand with one hand, and held a cup of hot tea he had made in the other hand. He moved to the sofa and sat down. Then, he looked at the panel in front of him with great interest, as if he was following a TV series.

Xueno also poked her head over from beside him curiously: "What is this?"

"During the Death Tower challenge livestream, if a challenger performs an excellent or entertaining battle, they can choose whether to allow other challengers who have entered the Death Tower to watch it. This is similar to the cheering spectators at the Colosseum, a mechanism for showing off and gaining glory."

Xia Yan said with some emotion: "I didn't expect that the tower actually has this function."

This time he did not lie. After all, he was the first and only challenger before. There were not even other "audiences", so naturally he could not trigger this prompt.

Xueno came over and took a look. After thinking for a while, she reached out and picked up the corner of the quilt that Xia Yan was wrapped in. In his weak state, his senses were dulled, and before he could react, Xueno naturally curled up in his arms.

"Uh…"

Xia Yan's left arm naturally crossed over Xue No's back, almost half hugging her, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

Yukino was concentrating on staring at the panel in front of her, as if she had no idea what she had done... If her ears hadn't been a little red, Xia Yan might have actually believed it.

"..."

But after thinking about it carefully, Xia Yan pulled the quilt over their heads, and then the two of them curled up on the sofa in this cold winter.

……

……

Tower of Death, fifth floor.

Challenger...

Iron Broken Lian!

Juukisama's right fist was like a pile driver, turning into afterimages and hitting the chest of a dragon man with a lizard head, a yellowish body and a strong body.

"puff!"

While the dragon man was dying, spewing out blood and fragments of internal organs from his mouth, the Ten Demon Snakes quickly took two steps back and walked towards the edge of the place.

Here, you can see blood and corpses splattered all over the ground, just like a monster murder scene.

In addition to this type of dragon man, there are also small pterosaurs on the scene, which are less than the height of human thighs, have wings on their arms, and come in two types: blue and khaki.

Dragon people, pterosaurs, goblins, minotaurs, cat demons...

Juu Kisara felt that he had seen quite a few new and strange enemies in this Tower of Death, but all of them combined were not even one ten-thousandth as shocking as the scene before his eyes.

"Woo~~~"

From one floor of a towering tower, looking out, in the distance, a vast, mist-shrouded, hazy green mountain range is visible. Below, buildings are lined up like ants, and...

The presence of these magnificent views was mercilessly taken away. A city? A mountain? An island? Floating in the air?

No, it was a giant whale as big as a continent swimming in the sky, and it was letting out a long and deep roar.

The giant beast of the sky: the giant whale soaring in the sky and sea!

Passing through the monster-infested woods, climbing the towering tower that reaches the Sea of ​​Sky, and seeing giant whales as big as continents swimming in the sky - just witnessing this magnificent scene that can satisfy all young people's fantasies of fantasy adventure is worth the return ticket for a trip to the Tower of Death.

"Wow~"

Unfortunately, before the Ten Demon Snakes could watch this scene carefully with shock, the scenery around him suddenly began to fade away.

Two prompts pop up instead.

[Death God Dreyfuss wishes to admire your next battle on this floor, and this battle should be remembered by the world—you can choose to open the perspective of this battle on this floor to challengers of the same period!]

[Is it open?]

[You have triggered your causal connection. Your opponent is: Projection...]

Juu Kisara considered the first hint for a moment, only to find that his martial arts and moves were nothing worth hiding, so he chose "yes." As for the latter...

He was too lazy to take a closer look.

"Hoo~breath~"

At this time, the scene around the Ten Demon Snakes has turned into an extremely silent and eerie primeval forest. This place is naturally incomparable to the magnificent fantasy scene just now.

But the slight physical discomfort that continued to form due to the disturbance of the external magnetic field as the forest formed was probably something that Juuga Ouma would never forget until his death.

"Here, could it be?!"

"Yes, that 'could it be'—oh, you've really grown a lot taller..."

Hearing this familiar voice, Wang Ma hurriedly turned his head and looked in the direction of the voice, and the next second, his eyes widened.

There was a man walking over there, his hair tied in a ponytail and slapped in front of him, wearing a gray cloak. He exuded a sense of unruliness, but at this moment, he had a relieved expression on his face. He smiled happily and said, "You have grown up, Wang Ma."

Battle scene: Hungry Ghost Sea, Erhu Style's inherited secret technique, where the Oni Ao is learned.

[Enemy and Us: Juuki Ouma vs. Projection Juuki Nito]

"what!"

"You don't have to worry about whether I'm an illusion or not. Although I'm just a projection of the past standing here, there's no doubt that I'm also the real Ten Demons, Snakes and Two Tigers!"

Ten Demon Snakes Erhu glanced at the stupid apprentice standing in front of him and almost guessed what he was thinking. Then Erhu said with a sigh of relief: "I didn't expect that I could meet you again in this way, Wang Ma, it seems that you have encountered a lot of things."

However, the scene that he saw afterwards was something that even Erhu was a little surprised about.

"Hahahaha! Wang Ma, you're not going to cry just because you see me again, are you?! If you do that, I'm going to..."

Seeing Wang Ma raise his left hand and slowly wipe the corner of his eyes with his thumb and index finger, Juukishe Nitora couldn't help but laugh and "scoffed": "I'm a little touched~"

"……maybe."

At this moment, Juukishima Ouma lost his usual pretentiousness and instead smiled sincerely, "It's just as you said. The longer you live, the more unexpected surprises you'll encounter, Erhu."

"Oh hahaha~, it seems you've changed a lot, Wang Ma."

The relief in Erhu's eyes didn't diminish in the slightest, but his body movements were in the Erhu Style. "But even if you say so, I can't show any mercy. After all, this is one of the rules here."

"Just show me the peak of martial arts you can reach even without me, Ouma."

"Well, please bear witness..."

Juukishima nodded gently, his expression softer than ever before.

"Master."

……

……

The panel turned, showing a battle scene of another Death Tower challenger.

I have to say that even though Kiryu Setsuna was not a human being, he was indeed much stronger than Ouma during this period. Not only did he do what Ouma failed to do: he tore Ryumin, the disciple of Byakuya, to pieces!

Now he is much faster than Wang Ma and has reached the ninth floor of the Tower of Death.

but……

Xia Yan unconsciously gathered the quilt with his left hand. Xue No's slender waist made her cheeks even hotter and more attractive, and Xia Yan sighed secretly.

It was said that the enemies on the fifth to tenth floors of the Death Tower would be between level three and level four.

Why were the opponents he had shaken out before more powerful than the other? He had encountered more than ten fifth-level opponents, and the opponents Kiryu Setsuna encountered... couldn't be said to be weak, it could only be said that most of their strength was average.

But Kiryu Setsuna's good luck seems to have come to an end at this level.

At this time, Kiryu Setsuna was in a dim underground passage, surrounded by thick concrete load-bearing pillars, and on the most conspicuous pillar, the words [V14] were written.

[Battle Scene: Antique Cafe Raid, Route V14]

Teammate: SS-rank Half-Hellraiser Kaneki Ken (Level 3 Silver)

[Clearance conditions...]

Kiryu Setsuna also found that the challenge of this level of the Death Tower seemed particularly special. Not only was there a white-haired boy beside him as a teammate, but this teammate was also extremely powerful.

The conditions for clearing the level also changed from the usual killing of a certain enemy to something very special, with only three words displayed on the panel:

【Live! 】

Kiryu Setsuna felt something was wrong, but he was not the type of person who would think too much and make comprehensive preparations, so he just silently followed the white-haired boy, Kaneki Ken, who seemed to be a little dazed, and moved forward together.

Within two seconds, Kiryu Setsuna and Kaneki Ken, who seemed to take him for granted as a companion, both widened their eyes. They actually saw a sea of ​​blooming white flowers in this dark underground passage?!

In this sea of ​​white flowers of the other shore, there stands quietly a figure with white hair and white clothes, which seems to complement each other particularly well.

Then, under the blooming corrupt "sea of ​​flowers", Kiryu Setsuna was trembling all over in a trance. He was the first to break free from the murderous illusion and looked down.

This wasn't a sea of ​​flowers at all; it was clearly a sea of ​​countless corpses piled up layer upon layer. Furthermore, all of these corpses were wearing masks of black dogs and monkeys. These...

They're all ghouls!

[Due to your ghoul/kagome identity, you encountered an enemy of cause and effect...]

【Arima Takashi! 】

Death stands in front!
