You tell me, this is called daily youth?

Yuki quickly modified his plan. He originally thought that it would take seven days to complete Hint Five, so if he entered the mausoleum in advance, he could make up enough time. But now it seems that there is no such lazy route.

Hey.

The thousand steps have reached the end, and a huge tombstone stands in front of you. It is like a huge wall without any gaps, and the breath of the witch god is extremely heavy.

It looks huge from the outside, but it's definitely even bigger inside. Everyone understands that this copy involves 'space', which is a very high-end power.

Everyone turned their heads to look, and to be honest, they were all very nervous. They knew too little about the dungeon, and it was irrational to go straight into the final stage.

"Really not waiting? There must be a lot of clues buried in this city waiting to be discovered." Isayama Yomi blinked. She had participated in more than a dozen dungeons and had never gone to meet the Boss so ignorantly.

Of course Yuki is not stupid. He didn't go to dig, but someone else did. Thousands of murals have been photographed by the Void Puppet, and Hiyori is analyzing them with all her strength.

The girl had never felt so comfortable before. Someone was doing the errands for her, and she had the Judge 'guard' by her side, so she could read the dungeon with peace of mind.

"I have to go and see what's going on. I'm very concerned about the condition of the witch god." Yuki couldn't explain, nor did he need to explain. The tiger head was used at this time.

If it were any other camp, they would have disbanded long ago. The members of the Evil Extermination Team looked at each other and nodded reluctantly.

At least so far, Mr. Li can do everything.

Entering one by one, just like entering the tower before, the seemingly hard outer wall will turn into a quagmire and suck people in once touched by hands.

This feeling was very uncomfortable. Yuki noticed a flash of blood-red light on his body. This should be the effect of the mark.

A mausoleum?

When I opened my eyes, a huge room appeared in front of me. It was not as complicated as I had imagined. The black crystal-like walls and neat floor tiles extended into the distance. There were thousands of steps in the middle. Looking up, there were actually white clouds.

A huge room without a ceiling, with seven huge statues lined up on both sides, each of which is over fifty meters tall and portrayed with lifelike features.

"It's the Shura Witch Spirit and the War Witch Spirit."

Yuki recognized two "familiar people" at a glance. They seemed to be still alive, some were grinning, some were plotting. Then he switched to the demon vision, and all he saw was pitch black.

The energy concentration is too high and I can no longer see anything.

"How big is this hall?"

“Infinity, because there’s no ceiling.”

“Those steps go straight up and up, and you can’t see the top.”

The players were whispering to each other. In the distance, there was a staircase that rose at a sixty-degree angle. It was completely dark and went straight into the clouds.

Everyone has gigantic fear and seems anxious in front of such a huge building. They found traces left on the ground, and they thought that some players must have walked ahead.

This is strange. How could someone be faster than them? Why not search the city properly?

The bigger the better.

Yuki actually breathed a sigh of relief. If he came in, he would have to face the witch god directly, and if he retreated, he would have to face the judge. Wouldn't he be like a rat in a bellows, unable to move forward or backward?

He pulled out Blade Blood, activated the item, and a spear of light erupted, stabbing it fiercely into the ground.

Ding--

Several cracks appeared, and the power that could penetrate a mountain could not advance an inch. After it was pulled out, a powerful energy surged out.

Black mist spread in front of him, and the cracks on the ground were quickly repaired, just like a broken mirror that has been put back into shape.

Yuki glanced at the mist, took out his hunter's musket, and loaded it with incendiary bullets.

boom!

A huge ball of fire was ignited, which scared everyone. Fortunately, the breach was repaired and the surging energy was quickly burned out.

"Just like the covered bridge, this floor is filled with a high concentration of soul energy."

Yuki was lost in thought, feeling as if he was standing on a big river. The terrifying energy was rushing up the stairs and then converging at a certain place.

This makes the aura of the witch god in the tomb several orders of magnitude stronger than outside, to the point of blocking the demon's vision.

"This witch god must be very powerful." Nanami Kento said some nonsense. As the final boss, of course he is powerful. He thought about it and realized that he only controlled two high towers and a group of soulless people who could restrain him.

But just look at Rita's stupid look and you will know. She is just short of saying the famous line "I am fighting the witch god, is this true or not?"

It can definitely be dealt with, but the variable in this copy lies in the judge.

Yuki wasn't amazed. He pointed at the giant sculptures and said, "Did you notice the expressions on those sculptures?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound. Because the statues were so huge, the expressions on their faces looked lifelike. Anyone who was not a fool could guess that these statues were witch spirits.

Five of them looked up to the sky and cheered, two of them lowered their heads in thought, and the two who were thinking happened to be Shura and War.

"Why does the Alliance want to retake the towers? They're clearly still operational. Are they really just afraid that we'll stall for time?"

"Also, when I was living with the Shura Mark, the game clearly indicated it was 'not activated'. Under what circumstances would it be considered activated?"

"Do you think there's a possibility that the Wizard God is split into seven, and any wizard who usurps the Wizard Spirit Mark must spit it out, and only two types of people will keep it?"

Yuki's step-by-step enticement made everyone come back to their senses. The two types of people are players and soulless people. Players, in particular, will never make mistakes with the endorsement of the game.

"Even if He is resurrected, will He be incomplete? Oh, if I had known earlier that I would unite all the players to take away the power, wouldn't He have become a hairless chicken!" The Flame Pillar thought for a while and slapped his thigh hard.

"That's the ideal scenario, but it's impossible. Even if the players unite, the strength of each faction is not equal. Even if we take a step back, who would be willing to share the benefits with others after taking the tower?"

Yuuki's words left the Flame Pillar speechless. Most players are selfish, and a camp can only control one tower. It is impossible for them to fight to the death and let others sit on the throne.

If the guess is correct, with the two towers in hand, it is equivalent to usurping nearly one-third of the power of the Witch God. What else does he need?

Everyone suddenly became confident again. In addition to weakening the boss before the battle, they also brought with them almost all the soulless people in the Red Earth Continent. If they continued to make progress, they would probably be sanctioned by the game.

"Let's go and take a look upwards. I told you there are clues inside the mausoleum."

No one moved, and the atmosphere became strange, especially Rita, who looked afraid to get close, but even more afraid that the players would just walk away.

"We still have five days left, so why not stay here? That way we only need to hold on for 48 more hours to return." Nanami Kento was still so cautious. The players would eventually gather here and fight against the Witch God together according to the prompts.

"If the Sorcerer God's strength is average, we can unite and kill him; if he's still ridiculously weak after being weakened, we can use other players as scapegoats."

It was a sinister idea. Yuuki had originally thought so, but with the uncertainty of the "Judge", he couldn't do it.

With the witch god in front and the judge behind, how can I survive?

"Didn't you find that entering the Tower of the Sorcerer God went surprisingly smoothly?" Yuki didn't even mention the Judge, but one sentence woke everyone up.

Yes, the huge city has no defensive force, the witch god has no sense of existence, and no one would want to defeat him.

"Either the witch god is a fool, sleeping like a pig and knowing nothing about the outside world. Or the witch god is an idiot, deliberately giving the opportunity and then jumping out to bestow despair." Yuuki said slowly. After learning from Hiyori's strategy, he actually already knew how to terminate the ceremony and completed hint one.

Cutting off the corridor bridge would cut off the energy supply. This is difficult, but not impossible.

Yuki didn't know the witch god, but if he put himself in his shoes, he would know that an old scoundrel who could spend more than a thousand years planning and penetrate silently like water dripping through a stone would never leave any loopholes.

"Either he's already resurrected, but needs time to recover. Therefore, he's unwilling to waste even a single ounce of energy. He's letting the explorers kill each other, searching the city for clues and wasting time. The closer to the seven-day mark, the better."

"Look inside this mausoleum. Meeting the Witch God won't take just one or two days. We and Valhalla were the first to enter the mausoleum, and that's assuming the basic requirements are met and we haven't investigated any leads."

Yuki didn't make any random guesses. He had a perfect strategy for the first stage, which gave him the upper hand because of hint four. You should know that the equally perfect War Tower player had just made a start in the city investigation.

They paid the price of 'ignorance' and entered the mausoleum as quickly as possible, but they still needed to hold on for 48 hours after the deadline.

No one spoke. This was just speculation, but no one thought the Witch God was an idiot.

"It really doesn't make sense. There are witch beasts in the tower, but such a big city is empty." Jianshan Huangquan touched his cheek and was immediately interrupted by Philen.

"Who said it's empty? There are still quite a few players hunting outside, all planning to enter the mausoleum at the right time."

Yes, the seven towers are enemies of each other. Why should the Witch God waste his power and let the explorers kill each other? Whether it is soul crystals or props, humans will never lack reasons to kill.

Being a pacifist is useless. There are obviously a lot of clues hidden in the city outside, deliberately avoiding combat. You have to spend time and energy to decipher them.

"Seven towers, seven powers, seven days of restrictions, this feels so familiar."

Ever since the bloody disaster, Yuki has become very sensitive to numbers and looked around at everyone.

"Now you know why I'm in a hurry."

"That makes some sense, but there's a price to pay for being so impatient." Nanami Kento, whose IQ was clearly much higher, shook his head. "We haven't really explored the city properly. We don't even have a strategy for the route. Are we just going to climb up the stairs like this?"

"Yes, go straight up. I need clues to confirm my guess." Yuki nodded decisively, which made the office worker's face turn purple. He was a veteran and had never seen anyone enter the dungeon to go directly to find the final boss.

"This, this doesn't make sense."

"You think I'm taking a brainless risk?"

Nanami Kento's lips moved, but he couldn't speak. It was now almost certain that the witch spirit had divided the power, and this man had two towers in his hands before entering the second stage.

If he guessed right, he would have destroyed the Witch God's plan; even if he was wrong, as long as he retreated, the early advantage would not be lost.

"Don't rush to make a decision. Once you get closer to the Sorcerer God, you'll know His true state."

Yuki walked towards the stairs ahead. He had the power at his fingertips, so his first guess could be easily verified. As for whether the witch god was asleep or just pretending to sleep, wouldn't it be enough to just go and take a look at him?

If you can't wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep, it's because your slap in the face isn't loud enough. Besides, there's something Yuki has hidden deep in his heart.

Whether he is asleep or dozing, the witch god must wake up and create huge waves in this muddy water.

Should I attack the Sorcerer God first, only to be exhausted and then be killed by the other two? Or should I deal with the Judge first, only to be exhausted and then be crushed by the dungeon boss?

How can it be!

Chapter 5: The Witch God Has Awakened (K)

The current situation is both complicated and simple.

The Witch God's attitude is very clear. Just read the prompts backwards. Once he wakes up, all players will be his prey.

The Judge wants to kill me, and judging by Tiger Vanguard's willingness to take the risk, he's given plenty of carrots and sticks.

You cannot stay where you are. If you meet the Judge, they will fight directly. The latter just doesn't know how many players there are in the Shura Tower and is afraid to act rashly.

After the preliminary preparations, in their eyes, there are two people in the Ether Particles, there are several people in the Evil Elimination Team, and then "Taiyi" is a lone ranger. This strength makes them very wary.

So they turned to the War Orphans and Thorn Rose, which created an intelligence advantage, but Yuuki knew with his ass that the Judge would not completely trust them.

"They will definitely go find more players. According to Hiwa, there are still players from at least four factions left."

Yuuki muttered as he walked up the stairs. The enemy now formed a double cheese sandwich around him.

This is an unsolvable conspiracy, but Yuuki has found a glimmer of hope, that is, the judge is also a player, why can't he be the prey of the witch god?

The steps are gradually becoming lighter, it’s just that there is one more variable, and the new plan is gradually unfolding.

Yuki looked around and felt as if he was climbing among the clouds.

The hall they came from was covered by clouds. There were endless long steps going up without any support. Even if the witch god came out of the coffin, Newton would have to lie down directly in it.

This structure completely violates the common sense of physics. Fortunately, the long steps are more than ten meters wide, which is enough for dozens of people to walk side by side. Moreover, the players all have flying abilities or props, so they are not afraid of falling to their death.

But they didn't.

Yuki glanced at Rita and the others who looked nervous. He thought that none of their ancestors had ever entered the mausoleum, and he felt that even the air was filled with malice.

"Wow."

Isayama Yomi quietly hugged the girl from behind, and there was a scream. Yuki saw Rita's black hair stand up, and was scared to tears on the spot.

"Is this Huang Quan a child?" Philen looked speechless as he watched Huang Quan stroking the girl's head. Rita didn't appreciate it and was attacking him madly with her little fists.

"This is called livening up the team atmosphere. Everyone is so nervous. Didn't you notice that Huang Quan has been standing guard right beside us?"

Philen was stunned for a moment, then nodded imperceptibly.

"Stop, you can't finish climbing these long stairs." Yuki called everyone, and everyone realized the problem.

Their speed was not slow, but they couldn't even see the backs of the team of players in front of them, which was obviously abnormal.

"Mr. Li, I don't sense any spatial folding or direction misdirection abilities, which means this is not a maze."

The little girl named Lingling slowly shook her head. She had a low presence and with three captains around, she had almost no right to speak.

Yuuki looked directly at Nanami Kento, who adjusted his glasses and said, "Sergeant Bell was once a corpse hunter, specializing in scouts. That's for sure."

What is a corpse hunter?

Yuki didn't know which world this person came from, and chose to believe what the other party said. He was obviously a supporting player like Hiyori.

"So we're not standing still, but are still moving forward?"

"From the feedback from the props, our spatial coordinates are indeed constantly extending." The black-haired girl, with a kind of wild innocence, shook a bell covered with numbers in her hand. "Mr. Li, if there are no ghosts hitting the wall, we can retreat back the way we came."

"That's a waste of time." Yuki didn't even consider looking back. He looked up and could see endless stairs through the clouds.

This is neither scientific nor magical. Who would build an infinite staircase in their own home for no reason?
