You tell me, this is called daily youth?

Without using his full strength, the witch beast guarding the gate died on the spot.

A monster with a comprehensive strength of about Extraordinary III is not worthy of Yuuki's full strength, but his effortless performance is still quite shocking.

Just an appetizer.

Yuki put away his sword and did not get angry. God knows how many floors the Shura Tower has. Anyway, according to the nature of the reincarnation game, it is impossible for players to mow down the invincible players.

"Hurry up and go, those things are coming again."

Everyone turned their heads and saw the mummies gathering together like building blocks, and another giant was being quickly constructed. They couldn't help but feel their scalps tingling and quickly jumped onto the altar.

The killing will never stop, the witch beasts will never end, and anyone who wants to bully the weak will be exhausted sooner or later.

"Recover your magic power quickly." Yuki put his arm around Philen's shoulders, and his pale face finally looked a little better.

"How much strength did you use just now?"

"Qi Cheng, what's wrong?"

Philen didn't say anything, but was obviously relieved, and even moved a little closer to Yuuki's arms.

The man’s character can only be said to be not annoying, and only strength can bring a sense of security.

"Okay, let's go to the next level." Yuki shouted, looking to the east. The magical light was approaching, so he let the mercenaries go first.

This is the responsibility of cannon fodder. Peggy left without saying a word and stepped into the beam of light. She could see the light spots rising up. Yuki still didn't move and counted seriously.

29 people, 29 spots of light, it seems there is no problem.

Nodding slightly, Philen also stepped onto the stairs. Yuki fell last and looked back before stepping onto the stairs.

Like a well-disciplined army, the witch beasts all over the mountains stopped at the same time, then shattered and turned into dust.

"Using the team as a marker won't divert the trouble to deal with the other explorers, but if I join forces with them, these monsters won't disappear."

He almost understood, and then he felt his whole body floating up, overlooking the wasteland.

Not far to the east of the altar, a larger expedition group was advancing. It was undoubtedly the coalition of nobles, and its members had been reduced by nearly half.

Further to the south, the energy lights flickered, and it was clear that another team was approaching.

Alliance or Night Parade of One Hundred Demons?

Yuki thought about it for a while and felt that it was most likely the latter, because the alliance gave people an impression of clear goals and professionalism, and it was impossible for the progress to be so slow.

"Humph, you entered the tower last, hoping to get something for free."

He withdrew his gaze, or rather, his eyes darkened, and the vague feeling of moving in space came again, and his consciousness spread rapidly.

This feeling lasted only for a moment. Soon, an extremely strong and nauseating smell of blood entered the nose, and the sounds of many people vomiting could be heard.

His vision returned, as if his optic nerves were damaged, and endless blood-red filled his entire field of vision.

Yuki stood on an isolated island, surrounded by blood-red liquid. There was a red moon in the black sky, dyeing all people and objects red.

There is a light gate standing on the isolated island, which is no different from the first floor. He can go back through this door. Obviously, other teams that climbed to the second floor will not appear here.

After the mountain of corpses, is there a sea of ​​blood?

Looking around, there was a boundless sea of ​​blood. The sea water completely blocked the devil's vision. The white skeletons of unknown creatures were floating in it. They were very huge, like islands.

"what!!"

Suddenly, there was a shrill scream beside him. A mercenary jumped up with red eyes. His companions around him hurriedly pinned him down. After a flash of magic light, it finally quieted down.

Mental erosion, but why didn't I react?

Yuki saw the problem at a glance. Apart from thinking that the place was smelly, he was very calm. He happened to see a flash of light in the distance, which was at the location of the next staircase.

"Someone's getting ahead of us." Yuki called over the sweaty Peggy and asked bluntly, "How many floors does this Shura Tower have? You can't stand climbing it slowly."

"Well, for the record, a lot of times we didn't make the climb."

Yuki nodded. This also applies to players. To complete the first stage of the task, you don’t have to climb. You just need to hold on for seven days and wait for the Tower of the Sorcerer God to open.

"None of you have ever been to the top floor?"

"Usually they hold on to the 1st or 2nd floor, but some of our predecessors have climbed to the third floor."

It's a very reasonable answer. If what you expected is correct, the higher you go, the stronger the enemies will be. Of course, this doesn't mean that hiding in the lower level is absolutely safe, but for a group of extraordinary wizards, they can at least use tactics to make up for it when facing opponents of the same level.

But players will definitely not linger, especially monster-level players.

Yuuki still had some energy left, and more importantly, there was the whispering in his head.

[Player Yuki, you have reached the second floor of the Shura Tower. Your participation rate is 100%. As the first climber, your rewards are doubled, and you will receive 4 reinforcement points.]

There are rewards only if you climb up. This is how the reincarnation game encourages players to take risks, and then the rewards for the first group of players to climb up are doubled.

Philen's participation was slightly lower, and he only received 2 reinforcement points.

"You want to stay here?"

"Yes, you see, the terrain here is very suitable for defense. If we can't hold on any longer, we can go back to the first floor to regroup. According to records, the rest time is about two hours, and then..."

Peggy spitted everywhere as she excitedly told Yuki about her plan, not even bothering to keep it a secret.

When you return to the first floor from the second floor, you will randomly appear somewhere in the wasteland, but two hours is enough for everyone to recover, get reinforcements, and then conquer the floor again. As you accumulate experience, the difficulty will continue to decrease.

This loop continues indefinitely until the tower is activated.

It is indeed simple, just like a bug. At least the difficulty of delaying it for seven days will be greatly reduced. Even Philen is tempted, but he knows that Yuki will not consider it.

This man has far-reaching plans, how could he stop?

"That's a good idea, but this dungeon has two phases. I need to quickly master this Shura Tower so I can seize the initiative."

Ever since joining the reincarnation game, Yuki has never thought about surviving with the lowest rating. He only wants to be the winner so that he can grow quickly.

"No, we must continue to climb up, kill the witch spirit as quickly as possible, and seize the initiative to activate the tower."

Kill the witch spirit? Become the master of the tower?

Peggy's eyes widened and she almost called Yuuki a lunatic. Is this the kind of idea a human could come up with?

"B-but our companions haven't come in yet."

"Once I take control of the tower, I can bring them in anytime." Yuki glanced at him, then looked at the several restless mercenaries and waved his hand: "Either follow me or die here. It's your choice."

We are trying hard to hold on, but can we really hold on?

Peggy couldn't make up her mind. It would definitely be more dangerous to go forward, and it would be safer to stay here. As long as they stopped hiding their strength, they were confident that they could hold out until the tower was activated.

At this moment, he was stunned as if he had received an order, and finally clenched his teeth.

"Brothers, follow up and fight him!"

Crash.

Yuki stepped into the sea of ​​blood. The "sea" was not deep, only reaching his waist, and ripples spread out in all directions.

"Look, they're catching up now."

"There are core members of the rebellion mixed in with the mercenaries. No wonder you hesitated when climbing up. You must be confident that you can hold on to the first floor." Feilun seemed to have a mysophobia, preferring to waste his magic power floating in the air.

“Do you want to dig it out?”

"Let them hide their strength if they want. We'll be honest eventually. It's more fun when we all bet together." Yuki seemed unconcerned, glancing at Philen above him. "You should use this time to recover your magic power instead of constantly depleting it."

"This bloody water is so dirty, I don't want to swim in it."

Yuuki rolled his eyes and simply patted his shoulder: "Then sit on my shoulders and fly when you encounter an enemy."

Philen gripped his staff tightly and looked at the calm sea, feeling that some monster would emerge from it. He hesitated for a moment and then slowly landed.

A soft and warm touch came from the back of the neck, and two slender legs stretched out of the robe and clamped the neck. The brain quickly calculated based on the contact area.

This hip circumference surpasses everyone else.

"good."

"What's good???" Philen's face suddenly became alert.

"Well, you've eaten well, and you're pretty heavy."

......

"Then I'd better fly."

This little episode made the disgusting smell of blood much less severe. In the end, Philen still rode on Yuki's shoulders and watched a group of people moving forward in the sea of ​​blood towards the next beam of light.

There were giant skeletons all around, like pale islands. Her expression changed as she saw the ripples on the sea becoming more and more obvious.

Not right.

Yuki also stopped and stood in the waist-deep sea water to look around. The mercenaries also stopped and drew their weapons.

It's coming. This place is not like the first level where there are witch beasts chasing you all over the mountains. I was not attacked when I was on the island just now. Of course, it's not like the witch beasts on the second level are all asleep.

"Front! Look ahead!!"

With a cry of surprise, everyone looked up and saw huge waves rising from the sea of ​​blood, coming from far away and rushing towards them like a wall.

All kinds of arrows and magic spells were fired at the same time, like trying to cut the water with a knife, which only made the water flow faster. Only a few waves could be splashed. When the huge waves approached, everyone's expressions became ugly.

It's not just waves, there are also dense black spots in it, which look like sesame seeds.

"Level 4 magical beast, sharp-toothed fish!"

Yuki didn't know what a sharp-toothed fish was, so he quickly asked people to jump onto the skeleton nearby.

"Defensive witchcraft, full power!"

Energy shields rose up one by one, and huge waves hit them and shattered them, but what was left behind was terrifying.

Beyond the defensive magic, there were densely packed witch beasts. They were about as thick as a forearm and were a kind of fish with sharp teeth. They were frantically gnawing at the shield.

There are too many of them. Even if the wizard can kill one with one shot, it is impossible to kill them all. The key is that one wave comes after another.

Yuki felt countless hateful gazes converging on him. It was he who brought everyone to their death. Now it was too late to retreat one level.

But Yuki didn't care at all. He glanced at Philen, who understood and the azure light spread along the sea of ​​blood.

Detect magic.

With the Demon Eye ineffective, Fren's detection magic was unrestricted, spreading far into the distance along the waves. Meanwhile, Yuki turned around and looked at the sweat-soaked Peggy.

"Don't hold back on your strength, use whatever skills you have."

“I, this…”

"Stop talking nonsense. On the first floor, some people were not afraid at all when the blood line spread. To be more precise, the blood line went around them." Yuki looked at several mercenaries covered in blood. They were wearing heavy armor, without even a bit of skin exposed.

Yuki had a clear idea in his mind and had long noticed that something was wrong with the people in the team. The reason why Peggy didn't insist on letting him bring in the follow-up troops was because some core figures had already taken advantage of the opportunity.

You little brat, you want to hide this little bit of acting skills from me?

Waves of blood came one after another, and the witch beast was gnawing at the protective shield layer by layer. In just a few minutes, the sharp-toothed fish had piled up layer by layer. It was no longer meaningful to let Peggy stand in the front at this time.

If the defense is breached later, Yuki may not die, but they will definitely not survive.

"What do you want?" A voice that could not be distinguished between male and female came. This was the second mercenary who faced Yuki directly besides Peggy.

His armor was thick, but he never attacked during the entire battle, and his soul was extremely pure, purer than any newborn baby seen in the town.

"The Soulless are the core of the rebellion?"

"How do you know?" The mercenary couldn't hide his surprise. This person had been under surveillance all the time and it was impossible for him to have had time to find out such in-depth intelligence.

"Of course, we use our eyes. We have all kinds of strange skills. You can't be completely unaware of them."

Yuuki pointed at the red-glowing demon eye, and as he finished speaking, panic and murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

If this eye was obtained by the alliance or the nobles, they would have no hope of survival and all their compatriots would be uprooted. But when he saw Yuki's sword, he abandoned such a stupid idea.

"No wonder we couldn't fool you no matter how we acted. But how did you know about the existence of the Soulless?"

"Does it matter? I'm tired of this scene. I want to climb the tower, and you guys are going to face the witch god. Can we help each other?" Yuki was extremely decisive and saved thousands of words of explanation.

The blood wave washed over, and the 'why' was indeed not important. Yuki was just expressing his attitude. He would only give him a ride here, and they would also have to help with the road clearing work.

If he dares to stop the exploration of the tower, he must be capable. He has to use the situation to force the other party to show his skills, and then make a judgment based on the value.

He is the only chess player.

"The biological reaction is five kilometers away and cannot be accurately located. How are we going to get there?" Philen, who was acting as a radar, suddenly spoke, and Yuki looked at the mercenary, who clenched his fists.

"We can't resist the huge waves, but the witch beasts will ignore us. If we can get close enough, we can find these foul monsters."
