You tell me, this is called daily youth?

"Retreat. Don't take the tower climbing reward. There's only one reinforcement point on the second floor. There's no need to fight so hard. We can hold the first floor for seven days without any problem."

He made a prompt decision. This time his mission was to reap the benefits. If he sent all his companions back, he would not be able to report to Senior Gojo.

Before the second wave of blood came, Nanami Kento was ready to start, but just when he turned halfway, his legs seemed to be stuck and could not move at all.

The blood wave disappeared. Yes, the floor that was roaring just now was suddenly calm, but no player was overjoyed. Instead, they were nervous.

As veteran players, we all know that something big is about to happen, something that is difficult for players to resist.

Sure enough, a figure appeared at the end of the horizon. He was walking very slowly, but each step was hundreds of meters. He was approaching rapidly in a flash, and a terrifying sense of oppression came towards him.

Nanami Kento raised his gun and felt his heart beating wildly, almost leaving Kyojuro behind while the others hurried out of the tower.

But he put down his gun again, because—

"Why is it him???" Huang Quan opened his mouth slightly. This man had black hair and black eyes, and was not good-looking. He was Li Dan whom he met on the first floor before.

It's not an illusion, and the tower is unlikely to show leniency. There is only one result.

"He controls the tower's authority. No wonder the blood waves disappeared." Nanami Kento breathed a sigh of relief, then became nervous again. "Kyojuro, don't act so eager. I don't want to be killed by you!"

The blond man, holding a long knife, stared at the man intently. After a long while, he said, "He's not hostile. He gives me a good feeling. Hmm, hmm, he should be a good person."

He is extremely dangerous, how can he still be considered a good person?

Nanami Kento was used to his companions' bad habit of jumping to conclusions, and he let out a breath.

"Okay, trust your dumbass instinct this time."

Interesting, he is worthy of being the Flame Pillar, his eyes are so big and his voice is so loud.

Yuki 'slowly' approached, and saw the legendary 'Flame Pillar' for the first time. Players like this would not change their hearts even if they were beaten badly by the reincarnation game.

He folded his arms and stared at her openly, neither humble nor arrogant, and was upright.

Being able to shatter a twenty-meter-long blood wave, its strength should be above Monster II, which is not weak.

Yuki didn't have a combat power detector, so he could only make a rough judgment, but he was sure that the other party was no match for him.

"Hello again, everyone from the Evil Extermination Team."

No one answered, or perhaps they didn't know what to say to a player who controlled the tower and could obviously keep them inside if they wanted, with no one able to leave.

"Are you Mr. Li?" The Flame Pillar was straightforward and didn't think too much of what others thought. He smiled and extended his right hand: "If there's a chance, I'd like to learn from you."

The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Nanami Kento started to exchange glances, while Yuki glanced at the Flame Pillar.

"why?"

"Because we agreed not to be enemies. We are friends even if we conquer the tower together. Besides, you are much stronger than me. Only by learning from the strong can I better protect the weak."

The voice was loud and clear, and he really took his oath to heart.

"I'll definitely spar with you if I get a chance, Kyojuro-san."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at Yuki's kindness, but then became nervous again.

"Hey, you know me?"

"In a certain copy, I worked with the hunters, and the enemy was none other than the 'One Hundred Demons Night Parade'. I know something about your camp." Yuuki decisively put the blame on Levi. Anyway, they couldn't verify it.

Yuki had mentioned this before, but at that time it was a strategy to build closer relations. Now that he was in an absolute advantage, he could add some chips.

"Have you killed ghosts too? Who were they?" Kyojuro asked curiously.

Yuki looked at the Flame Pillar meaningfully. This man was one of the rare players in the reincarnation game who could judge people by their appearance.

"One is called Qi Aza, his body is covered with green lines, and he loves to use fighting spirit. The other is called Zhenren, he's some kind of special cursed spirit, his abilities focus on the soul. Oh, and there's also a green ghost."

......

The expressions of the six players all changed. There was no need for a lie detector. Those evil spirits would leave no one alive once they fought. To be able to say it so clearly was definitely a real fight. Moreover, with the oppressive feeling given by this person, who would dare to say that he was bragging?

What did he do?

Nanami Kento remembered what Gojo Satoru said and felt gloating at the time, laughing at those idiots who had planned for so long but ended up suffering heavy losses.

It could only be him.

Jianshan Huangquan had no doubt that this man was too powerful, and even if the three of them joined forces, they might not be able to defeat him.

"Thanks. That upper-rank monster killed many of our companions both inside and outside the game. Now that the real one has returned alive, you'd better be careful, they will definitely take revenge." The Flame Pillar didn't think too much about it and immediately bowed ninety degrees.

"You have avenged our blood. Please come visit us when you return. In this instance, I will follow your lead."

It was so straightforward, so quick that Nanami Ken didn't have time to hold him back. I know you are very touched and excited, but you can't hand over the bottom line to others all of a sudden. How can you talk about business?

But he remembered his senior's words and did not stop him. Didn't Gojo Satoru want to find an ally to fight against the evil spirits? There was already one ready.

He is powerful and we have a common enemy. We have to find a way to drag him into the water. It would be a good idea to get closer to him first.

Yuki didn't know that the office slave had so many thoughts. He was slightly stunned. This was the first time he met someone who bowed down to him.

When he came to his senses, he realized the problem.

I definitely don't have any domineering aura. The Flame Pillar is too straightforward. And then look at that hesitant Nanami Kento...

Hundreds of ghosts are parading at night, the ghosts are strong and the people are weak. Oh, you want to find allies for help, and it just so happens that I offer myself to you.

This little trick could not be hidden from Yuki at all. He quickly modified his plan. Now he had the strength to step into the vortex of various camps, but his own troubles were even greater. It was hard to say who would drag whom into the water.

"It's a simple favor, but since we're destined to meet, it's easy to talk." Yuki paused and asked, "Why do you think there's hint number four?"

[Tip 4: Each camp can only choose one tower to enter. You can change the target. Tip 3 conditions will be reset.]

"It means we can't split our forces, it means retreating would be dangerous, and it means we can't just try anything." Nanami Kento was clearly the brains, and after seeing Yuki's expression, he made his final decision:

"This means that with the next phase of the collaboration, I think there will be a new battle for the towers."

"Smart! Players and plot characters in the same tower have locked themselves into an alliance. Combined with hint three, the conventional strategy given by the game should be for all forces entering a tower to cooperate." Yuki nodded approvingly. This elite office worker is indeed very intelligent.

"But you killed all your partners." The man looked helpless.

"Hahaha, I just took a different strategy route. Every player should be able to analyze the deeper meaning of hint two."

[Tip 2: Activating a sub-tower requires the approval of a witch spirit or relevant permissions. The witch spirit will automatically activate the tower at the appropriate time.]

Once the witch spirit is activated, all you have to do is replace it yourself. This is a dangerous route with huge rewards. Nanami Kento originally wanted to take this route, but gave up after trying it.

This requires absolute strength and the key must be mastered. Even if it is Yuki, without the help of the Soulless, he will most likely be exhausted when he faces the Witch Spirit.

"There's another way. Kill the Soulless and any player who dares to climb the tower, gain reputation, and get a chance to meet the Witch Spirit." Jianshan Huangquan interrupted, and when he saw everyone looking at him, he quickly waved his hand.

"Of course, this path requires special skills and timing, and in some ways is more difficult."

"Haha, anyway, we have Mr. Li to protect us from the wind and rain. Our first phase of the mission has been completed." Rengoku Kyojuro laughed heartily, and then his eyes were bright: "Tell me what your mission is, and we can sign a contract."

Cross-faction contracts, these people are quite rich.

Seeing Kento Nanami's speechless expression, Yuki did not make things difficult for them. To be on the safe side, he still signed the contract.

The two parties agreed to form an alliance in this copy, not to take any hostile actions, not to explore each other's secrets, and to gain benefits based on their own abilities. If anyone violates the agreement, the contract will be terminated immediately.

【Contract reached】

The whispered assurance made everyone feel relieved. Such broad content actually lacks binding force and relies more on mutual trust.

"The mission is simple: if a player captures a tower, it will inevitably lead to a counterattack. The tower's defenses don't distinguish between friend and foe, so I can only shut them down. You only need to do two things."

Yuki held up two fingers and said slowly, "First, bring in all the Soulless outside the tower. This is the covenant between me and them. You should also know the role of the Soulless. Second, hold the first floor. Kill any remaining explorers one by one."

It is indeed simple. This is the layout for the next stage. It will definitely be beneficial to completely master a tower.

Nanami Kento immediately analyzed the result. The Soulless Ones were the key to the copy and could be used as a trump card against the Witch God. They would definitely diversify their investments and take as much as they could.

But now that there is an alliance, it is like a crack in the wall. He will choose to go all in anyway. This is not a free ride, but a portal to the next stage.

The various forces in the Red Earth Continent will definitely not sit idly by, especially the Alliance. As supporters of the Witch God, they will definitely do their utmost to retake the tower and plug the loophole.

Nobles, players, anyone who is qualified to enter the tower will come.

"Wait, will this attract direct intervention from the Witch God?"

"If He could have interfered, He would have done it long ago. At least I can't seize the authority of the witch spirit." Yuki replied calmly. The rules of the game are above all else, and the copy settings are the basis.

"That's right, with you here, no explorer can recapture the tower." Nanami Kento still has some confidence in this. They are afraid of the tide-like attacks and are good at team combat.

The number of explorers entering the tower, including helpers, cannot exceed 100. Now that two days have passed, many of them must have died. Players who are truly capable of completing the prompts will not disrupt the situation.

"I'm not here, but my companions will assist you. This mission isn't easy." Yuuki instantly broke his illusion and saw Rengoku Kyojuro's disappointed expression. "Don't worry, there will be many opportunities for us to fight side by side in the future."

The members of the Demon Slayer Corps turned their heads and saw more than a dozen people coming down from the third floor, and there was only one player among them.

"You want to leave the tower?" Nanami Kento asked.

"Well, I also have two tasks, so I'll leave this to you all. Rita, come with me, and the rest of you can assist Miss Huang Quan and the others."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Peggy and the others didn't care; they thought the Chosen Tower Explorers were all one tribe. Philen's eyes flickered, wondering why these Night Parade of Demons players were so easy to talk to, why they were so obedient and served as his subordinates.

Yuki didn't explain, just nodded slightly, and ignoring the girl's screams, he held her under his armpits, stepped on the sea of ​​blood, and disappeared in the distance in a few flashes.

The first task will definitely not be hidden from Nanami Kento. Since he controls the tower, he has the initiative to activate the tower and start the second stage, which is what the saying goes, blocking the progress.

Yuki is the only player who has gained freedom of movement. He can calmly enter the top floor and activate the tower without having to worry about the conditions being reset.

Using this condition, he can obtain intelligence and even contact other players.

But no one could guess the second task. According to hint four, a camp can only choose one tower. Logically speaking, Yuki has been bound after becoming the owner of Shura Tower.

But just like being able to sign a contract with any faction and team up with any player, can the 'None' faction enter all towers?

At the very least, I have to help my seniors master the second tower and make the best preparations to see which other players can play with me in the next stage.

A new plan has been brewing, centered around "nothingness". With the experience of the "global insect plague", Yuki has become more calm.

.......

After leaving the tower, the bright sunshine appeared again. Yuki narrowed his eyes and looked towards the military camp not far away.

With flags fluttering, an army of about a thousand people was gathering outside the tower. Scanning the patterns on the flags, he found that there were more than just wizards from the Mesopotamian Kingdom.

"As expected, the alliance can communicate with the outside world and spread the news across the continent. They reacted very quickly."

Yuuki used the second Fool's Mask and transformed into a blond, blue-eyed boy with a look of approval on his face.

Getting other kingdoms to abandon their goals and send their own explorers here would mean countless transactions, and the Mesopotamian Kingdom, as the landlord, had to open the way.

The tower explorers had not arrived yet, but the army had already set up camp. The sentry saw someone coming out of the tower and blowing a bugle, and the frightened wizards were running out of the tents.

The soulless ones who had stayed outside the tower must have hidden themselves, and Yuki was too lazy to look for them. He looked towards the center of the military camp, where many people in gorgeous armor were peeking around, and all the wizards were lined up around them.

Unfortunately, the range of the field is only twenty meters, and it is impossible to pull the entire military camp into the furnace.

Clang——

With the sound of metal friction, Yuki drew out his two swords, and the blades reflected a dazzling light.

Fortunately, they don’t deserve it either.

Chapter 6: Following (K)

Duchy of Fulda, Tower of War.

This gray tower is built on the mountains and is also towering into the clouds. Apart from the color, it is no different from the Shura Tower. There is even a small town at the foot of the mountain.

As the exploration of the tower begins, the abnormal prosperity is gradually fading away, and horror legends are spreading in the bar.

"Have you heard? Something happened at the Shura Tower. Someone has taken control of the tower, and the Alliance has issued a punitive order to the entire continent."

"Nonsense! The Wuling is the incarnation of the god. Let alone whether we can defeat it, who dares to fight against the god except the rebels and the chosen tower explorers?"

"Really, my uncle's neighbor is the guard wizard. He has gone with the Grand Duke to provide support."

"It's just that the noble lord went hunting in a different place. It's not something that hasn't happened before."

"But the merchants said that something really happened in the Meso Kingdom. All the wizards in the country, including the king, were killed. The whole country is in chaos."

"Who killed him?"

"I don't know. They say he was killed by someone who was going to help the rebels go in."

"Your joke is a bit outrageous. I advise you not to talk about state affairs, or you might get caught by the nobles and thrown into the dungeon."

......
