You tell me, this is called daily youth?

"It's not very effective against single targets, but it's a godsend against groups. I underestimated that Death Staff."

In this area, the Death Staff has the greatest effect. Fear will be superimposed due to the status, and it can actually scare people to death.

This battle was easy. If they were fought outside, Yuki could still handle it, but it would require some effort. It was impossible for him to do it so easily. He killed all 150 people without even using his full strength.

After two attempts, the potential for growth is very large. Take the Demon Breaker's Long Sword for example. Yuki is not a supernatural being, so how can he use the Phantom Dual Swords to create afterimages while holding the Demon Breaker's Long Sword for defense?

Here you just need to hint at the target to create a reflective mirror above the enemy's head, and even the huge consumption will be reduced by half.

"But it's not enough. The hunter's trap is too fragile. It can't withstand a few full-strength attacks from monsters above the monster level. If they escape from the area, I can only watch."

"Also, the area is too small, only two thousand square meters. It won't be long before it's filled with corpses."

Looking around, I saw corpses piled up in the wasteland, making the already dark red earth even bloodier. Various weapons and flags were scattered there, like a chaotic battlefield.

When he killed the witch beast guarding the second floor, he discovered that this area could actually preserve corpses, like embellishments to flowers.

But he couldn't use these things, so he treated them as a huge warehouse.

He bent down to pick up the bones from the tower explorer's body and covered his face with them.

"Strengthen it! When will I be rich?"

Yuki was very depressed, which was also the reason why he climbed the tower. Since entering the tower, he has accumulated 9 reinforcement points.

But it's not enough at all. It takes 4 to upgrade the Hunter's Light Net to one level, and 8 to expand the field. The Demon Breaker's mirror is too small and needs to be upgraded. Also, the Death Scepter's stacking debuff is more useful than I thought, so it's better to upgrade it.

Don’t forget, bloodline skills are even more terrifying, and it takes a full 4 enhancement points to go from LV5 to LV16.

"Let's take it one step at a time. As long as the game doesn't target me, I'll be able to level up sooner or later. First, invest 6 reinforcement points in upgrading the Demon Breaker's Longsword. This thing is the most useful in the Western Fantasy World."

Yuki invested the six reinforcement points that were still warm, and upgraded the Demon Breaker's long sword inserted in the field to the mysterious level (level 5). Only then did he release the field. He looked up and was slightly stunned.

Wow, you came here so quickly just by smelling the scent.

Several people were standing in the distance. The leader had a ponytail and a pocky hanging from his mouth. It was none other than Isayama Yomi. Next to him stood Nanami Kento, who looked like an elite office worker.

There was no witch beast siege, proving that the 'Night Parade of One Hundred Demons' had broken through the first level, and then the expression was strange.

The Night Furnace domain will leave behind corpses, so they can't see the battlefield, but they are not fools.

"Mr. Li is really amazing. He used battlefield props that can strip away space and wiped out all the enemies within half an hour." Nanami Kento clapped his hands lightly, full of vigilance. This kind of prop is very precious, and it is also terrifying that one person can wipe out three teams of tower explorers.

"you know me?"

"We contacted the mercenaries who left earlier and conducted a few inquiries."

Now I understand that entering the tower is also a process of continuous purification for Peggy, replacing those messy mercenaries with her own companions, and those who quit are caught by the players.

"Did you kill them?"

"No, the first rule of our camp is to never kill indiscriminately." Nanami Kento adjusted his glasses and spoke in a long tone, "In other words, we only kill those who should be killed."

If I hadn't encountered the cursed spirits, I would have almost believed it. That's right, they would never put themselves in the same camp with those evil ghosts.

"A group of extraordinary natives, not worth mentioning."

"One or two people are indeed not worth mentioning, but if hundreds of people are waiting in formation, it will be very troublesome."

"You came so late just to observe?"

"Intelligence is the prerequisite for all work. It doesn't matter if it's a little late."

The two of them asked and answered questions, just like colleagues discussing work in the company. They were indeed late, but they also got important information:

The wizards in this copy are very powerful in forming formations, but they are far inferior to the wizard beasts of the same level in single combat, so they are very afraid of Jiecheng and are unwilling to step within a hundred meters.

Neither advancing nor retreating, the two sides were in a stalemate, and finally it was Yuki who broke the silence.

"What faction are you from?"

He had intended to engage with these players, and judging by their impression, they were good partners.

"What camp are you from?" asked Jianshan Huangquan, holding out a strange dog head in his hand.

"Headhunter." Yuki made use of the waste and was too lazy to think about it anymore.

Green light flashed in the dog-head's eyes, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. In the reincarnation game, players who were willing to report to the correct camp were generally not hostile. This time, cause and effect were involved, and revenge was brought about.

Headhunters, why haven't I heard of them?

Yuuki's strength is at least above Monster II, which is quite strong in the entire game.

They looked at each other, and finally Nanami Kento answered: "Evil Extermination Team, ha, we are quite destined to meet."

Yuuki also laughed. Apparently, the name "One Hundred Demons Night Parade" was not accepted, which indirectly confirmed the contradiction between the two camps.

"Ghosts? I did encounter a group called 'One Hundred Demons Night Parade'." Yuki saw the expressions of several demon killers change slightly, and he didn't bother to tease them: "But I killed them. Those things are too dangerous and cannot cooperate."

The dog's head flashed green again. It was obviously a lie detector or something like that. Just this short sentence relaxed the originally tense atmosphere.

"You are right. Those evil spirits should be wiped out. Suddenly I feel you are pleasing to the eye."

Nanami Kento strode over without asking which ghost Yuuki had killed. Isayama Yomi put away his dog head and it would be impolite to try again.

"You went up to the second floor?"

"To be precise, I passed the second floor. Do you want to know?"

"Of course." Nanami Kento said decisively, adjusting his tie. "The information you have can save us a lot of trouble. Please introduce yourself again—"

"My name is Kento, this is Miss Yomi, Xiaowu, Lingdang, Zaemon, and a companion are at the altar."

A thin boy, a black-haired girl with a bell around her neck, and a man as strong as an ox all nodded in greeting. They were wearing the same black uniform and looked quite imposing.

Yuki looked at them one by one, and didn't recognize any of them except Isayama Yomi. They must be extras in some world.

"One person is missing?"

"Unfortunately, Yuki was killed in action."

After passing the first level, the seven-man team lost one member, proving that climbing this tower is not easy and those cannon fodders also have their meaning.

"The second level is a sea of ​​blood. Be careful of the witch beasts in the waves. Don't fight too long. Pass through the sea of ​​blood as quickly as possible and defeat the Level 1 witch beasts guarding it. Their strength is probably around Transcendent IV, so it won't be difficult for you."

Yuki was also very straightforward and immediately threw out the chips. The members of the anti-evil team concentrated on writing down every word and did not suspect that they were being deceived.

"That's straightforward. We will never take the initiative to become your enemy in this dungeon." Nanami Kento gave a thumbs-up, but after thinking about it, he felt it was unconvincing and added, "If I do, I'll be forced to work overtime until I die."

It was a strange promise without any contractual guarantee, but Yuuki knew that this was serious. The word "overtime" was too vicious for a corporate slave.

The oath is not important. What is important is whether you have the ability to make the other party fulfill the oath.

"Then you should catch up as soon as possible, and maybe we can have deeper cooperation later."

"Do you want to face the witch spirit directly?" Huang Quan interrupted. This man was very strong, and perhaps only the witch spirit in the tower could threaten him.

Yuki half-knelt, stepped down hard, and disappeared without a trace like an arrow.

"It's to kill Wu Ling!"

In an instant, the man disappeared, leaving the members of the "Evil Extermination Team" looking at each other in confusion. This man was stronger and friendlier than they had imagined.

"It seems we're lucky to have passed the first stage successfully." Nanami Kento adjusted his glasses. "Anyone who has killed a demon is a friend. It seems he has also made enemies with demons. We can build a closer relationship."

After leaving the closed world, the boundary between the dungeon and returning is not so clear, the hatred in the dungeon can also be carried out, and even a camp specializing in hunting and killing has been born, called "Hunters".

"But the original plan was that we should control the tower." Jianshan Huangquan reminded.

"Come on, climbing the tower isn't as easy as we thought, and we're missing a crucial element. I'm curious, why are those people so fast at conquering it when their team is so overcrowded?"

Everyone looked at each other, unable to articulate a reason as to why they hadn't hired cannon fodder and simply wanted the seven-man team to come and go as they pleased.

"Maybe it has something to do with the Soulless?"

"Well, but apart from knowing the name, we have no contact. How much intelligence can we gather in a day?" The man picked up the briefcase and waved gently, asking everyone to follow.

"Don't underestimate our instincts. This guy is at least at Monster III level. Our raiding speed isn't as fast as his, and we're trying to steal his benefits. Isn't that courting death?"

Monster III and above.

Everyone's heart trembled slightly. This level was already quite terrifying. Their three captains were only at the Monster II level. They could win if they besieged them, but most of them would definitely be killed.

A stronger one has released kindness, so there is no need for them to be greedy.

"So we'll just be spectators in the first phase?"

"Well, there are rewards for climbing the tower anyway. Collect more soul crystals; they're sure to be useful." Nanami Kento was very rational, looking up at the stairs ahead. "As for the second stage, it depends on the prompts. If there's no forced combat, why not cooperate with Mr. Li?"

......

The third level, the bone cemetery.

Yuki was lost in thought as he looked at the various skeletons scattered all over the mountain. This was a real cemetery, with skeletons of humans and monsters everywhere. Every step he took was accompanied by the sound of bones breaking.

Looking ahead again, the fourth-level stairs are not far away, and unlike before, there is a vortex at the connection of the stairs.

"This tower only has four floors. Fortunately, I thought it would never end."

Yuuki was growing bored, and seeing the fluctuations of the battle in the distance, he realized that his progress was catching up.

"Well, but it becomes more difficult the higher we go. It's no longer possible for us to keep going." Peggy was very knowledgeable. They were already struggling on the second level. If Yuki hadn't acted decisively, they would have been scattered by the huge waves.

"Then you take your men to stay here and defend with all your strength. Don't die before I activate the stairs." Yuki's plan went against Tiangang. How could a tower explorer clear the way for cannon fodder? Aren't all cannon fodder risking their lives to test the way ahead?

So Peggy was also stunned for a moment, and nodded sincerely: "Yes, sir."

The rebels' vigilance was reduced a lot, not only because of Yuki's strength and care, but also because he had pledged his allegiance, a super big pledge of allegiance.

He actually killed all the noble tower explorers by himself and brought back the bones of his compatriots. These people were supporting characters, but they were also enemies, and he persecuted them a lot.

"Rita, Jisi." Yuki called out to the two dazed Soulless girls and said succinctly, "You two, come with us. Clear the stairs as quickly as possible. I want to reach the last floor before those Alliance explorers."

"The rest of the Soulless, hold on to the team. Now is not the time to hide anything. A little more effort means one less person will die."

"How do you know we are hiding our strength?" Rita was very surprised and her attitude softened a lot.

"Bullshit! If you were just to be human shields, how did you survive the continent-wide encirclement?"

Yuuki cursed with a laugh and beckoned to Philen, who immediately prepared to attack.

Their interests were aligned, and if they wanted to continue climbing, they had to rely on Yuki's strength. The group looked at each other and made up their minds.

At least according to the records, no chosen tower explorer would take such care of them.

Bags of bulging soul crystals were handed to the soulless people. Before Yuki could ask any questions, Rita had already taken out one and held it in her palm. Her expression was very much like that of a bard, except that she was holding a guitar.

"Do you know why we are called the Soulless?"

Ask me now, go and listen to countless epics of resistance filled with blood and tears, and you will surely admire us and become our true partners!

Yuki glanced at her and answered directly, "Because this world is filled with the energy of the witch god, but some people are born pure, like insulators, and cannot be corroded, and cannot enjoy the benefits of extraordinary power."

"You are such a boring person." The girl hung her head. It was painful for her to reveal secrets to Yuki because he always guessed the correct option.

"Hey, you're kind of right, but we've also developed a special power system over the years. The effects vary depending on each person's aptitude."

She held the soul crystal in her hands and made a praying gesture. Yuki was puzzled when he saw the extremely solid stone suddenly shattered and turned into fine dust that spread out. He switched to the demon's perspective and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Purification, they purified the energy in the soul crystal, and used this energy to erode the surroundings like a chain reaction, forming a black hole in the air.

Every soulless person was doing the same thing, and the spreading black hole covered the entire team. Yuki noticed that everyone's state was different, some were tired, some were in pain, and some were at ease.

"This purification also has a price. Is it a kind of ability that can split the soul, inject it, and then spread it?"

It's like a drop of ink falling into water and slowly spreading out. Its function is also very simple.

Ah ah ah ah ah--

A shrill, painful and desperate scream came from above his head. Yuki raised his head and saw a strange face hanging in the sky.

It is made of clouds, but it is extremely clear. It has four eyes, a face covered with fleshy granulations, and a mouth that is so big that it looks like it is pouting painfully.

A terrifying shock wave swept through the entire cemetery, driving people almost crazy, but the "black hole" that just spread out was like a spatial barrier, and the people trapped in the center just covered their heads slightly.

Without this barrier, everyone except Philen and I would go crazy on the spot. This is more like a barrier that isolates the power of witchcraft.

Yuki tried hard to suppress his laughter. The soulless people were more valuable than he had imagined. They were the aliens of the world, insulators, and a bit like Kamijou Touma's hand.

In essence, there is definitely more to it than this and it can be further developed.

"Let's go quickly. Each soulless person has a limited amount of purification. The witch god's energy will continue to penetrate, and we have to keep replenishing it."

Rita urged, she had to reveal some more secrets.

Several soulless people stood in the center of the mercenary formation, constantly breaking soul crystals, and were visibly weakened.

"Okay, Philen, hold on to Jis." Yuuki pointed at the little girl with golden hair and a thin body, who was no more than fifteen years old, and then, despite Rita's resistance, he held her under his armpit.
