You tell me, this is called daily youth?

He originally thought that this was a maze-like spatial illusion, but as a professional, Lingling would definitely not make a mistake. He lowered his head and recalled all the clues since entering the copy.

The one walking ahead of us is 'Hall of Valor', they have entered the Skyclave Tower, wait, the Skyclave Tower?

Yuki's eyes narrowed. In the midst of his busy schedule, he had obtained information about various towers from the most inconspicuous mortal intelligence brokers. From what happened later, it could be seen that these brokers had extremely high professional ethics and their information was very accurate.

"What are you thinking about?" Yuki suddenly turned around and looked at Philen.

"Climbing, what else could it be?" Philen was puzzled. This was a monotonous and boring journey, and it was deep into the tiger's den. Everyone was very nervous.

The Tower of the Sky will turn your thoughts into reality. If you want to climb it, then climb endlessly.

"I understand. Everyone, focus on ignoring these stairs and just think about getting out of here."

Leave? There has to be a way out.

Everyone looked at each other. This was easier said than done, because all you could see was an endless staircase, just like a pervert would become erect when seeing a beautiful woman. The thought was instinctive.

But this does not pose a problem for the players. Self-hypnosis is a basic skill, and Rita and others can close their eyes and pull others forward.

"Get out, leave here. I don't want to climb. I just want to face the witch god."

Yuki didn't need to close his eyes, but let the idea spread in his brain, eventually occupying every inch of his mind, and then he moved forward firmly.

Level one, level two, level three.

The long staircase to heaven began to become blurry, and in the blink of an eye, it was as if a mischievous child had covered my eyes and I could not see anything.

The sudden light outage was very scary, like stepping on empty air and falling into the abyss.

"Is there really a change?"

"Hey, why can't I see anything? I clearly turned on the flashlight."

"Calm down and count yourselves."

Yuki could also only hear chaotic sounds, his heart was beating violently, and his emotions changed from joy to anxiety.

Beyond the long staircase was endless darkness, and there was the sound of clacking gears in one's ears. No one knew whether this was a good thing or a bad thing, or perhaps this change was worse than climbing the long staircase.

A mercenary instinctively wanted to retreat back to the long steps, but he heard a scream, followed by the sound of bones and flesh being shattered.

"Don't move! I know what's going on!"

Within two seconds, Yuki came back to his senses from his dazed state. This trap was really disgusting. Humans suddenly fell from the clouds into the abyss, and it was inevitable that they would panic.

"That was the power of the Sky Tower just now. We have now stepped into the Lightless Tower. Don't move. This tower is mainly composed of mechanisms."

The contents of each tower will be different every time a tower is explored, but the information about the city is freshly released, compiled by the explorers who have escaped in the past few days, so it will definitely not be wrong.

No light can be produced, but the names of "Tower of the Sky" and "Tower of No Light" have been heard. This step forward will inevitably advance the main storyline.

The atmosphere was a bit weird. Yuki felt that several eyes were focused on his vest. We agreed to be idiots together, but you secretly explored the copy?

Yuki didn't bother with such complaints and said directly: "Rita, light the way forward."

"Huh? I don't know any lighting magic."

"Fool, the authority of the witch god created a lightless world, and your purification is the brightest light."

Yuki cursed, and then he heard a rustling sound. The girl took out the soul crystal, crushed it, and purified the air around her. It was a weak soul torch, but it allowed everyone to see each other's faces and the horrific scene around them.

Above his head, a ceiling covered with spikes fell down, surrounded by black knives with two soft silk ribbons, and in the air there were fist-sized "bees", their tails were full of thin steel needles.

Silent and without any signs of life, even without any breath blocking them, the devil's eyes could not see these dead things.

The atmosphere was a little awkward. Just as Philen behind him hurriedly raised his staff, Yuki took a glance and was ecstatic.

There were hundreds of these creations, the closest of which was less than ten meters away. But looking at their distribution, most of them were surrounding him and Rita, while the space in the middle of the team for Philen, Lingling and Xiaowu was almost empty.

Does not attacking the most vulnerable ones mean looking down on them? Of course not. The first step of a lightless assassination is the most sudden, so of course you have to choose the main target.

This was not an instinctive defense mechanism, but a conscious act of targeting. He targeted me in order to reclaim authority.

Nanami Kento's face turned pale. He was not blind, so of course he saw the deployment of the witch god's troops. This was a conscious and targeted action. In other words—

It is possible that the witch god has really awakened.

Clang——

The blood-red blade was unsheathed, and the blood-red light cleared the surroundings. There was one thing about Yuki that was different from himself during the "Global Insect Disaster".

As one of the strongest players, he is qualified to use brute force to eliminate all threats, even second-tier bosses like Wu Ling cannot stop him.

"This is the clue you want. Now, follow me."

......

Strength can defeat cleverness, and strength can, to a certain extent, replace intelligence and speed up the attack.

As far as the Shura Tower and the War Tower are concerned, even if Yuki is a fool who just rushes forward, no one can stop him except Wu Ling. The only difference is the price.

"Not to mention, there are no witch spirits in the mausoleum."

Hey.

One foot stepped on the dark stairs, and the splashing lava emitted white smoke, but could not leave any trace.

They returned to the stairs, but this time the stairs turned black and were no longer endless.

Behind is the fiery red cloud, making people forget the huge crater just now. There are about a hundred steps in front, and the end of them goes deep into the dark sky.

The sky was like a broken mirror, covered with dense cracks, and only one piece had fallen off, revealing a dark entrance.

The so-called mausoleum defense is to replicate the contents of several high towers, and the Shura Tower and the War Tower are not included in it, which is enough to explain a lot of things.

"I said that He can't stop me unless He takes action personally." Yuki turned around. The journey that day was difficult and long. The material handed over to Hiyori was enough to write a story of more than 100,000 words.

Everyone in the team was exhausted and injured, and the number of people was reduced by nearly half. All the mercenaries were killed, leaving only Peggy, and the only soulless people left were Rita and Jies.

Everyone looked at Yuki in confusion and excitement. He had led the team all the way here and was now cutting through the steps and conducting ignition experiments.

They were already accustomed to this kind of mysterious and powerful operation, and turned their gaze to the end of the stairs with fear.

Skyland, Purgatory, Elves, Desire, and Darkness: several unfamiliar authorities appeared one after another, each with a different appearance, but the core was the same:

These defense mechanisms are delaying the tower explorers and are specifically targeting the Soulless and Yukiro.

It could be considered a coincidence once or twice, but it would be terrifying if it happened every time. Even if Yuki deliberately walked at the end of the team, he would be enveloped by the rising volcano.

"The Sorcerer God's condition is very strange. He consciously chooses his targets, but he doesn't adjust after repeated failures." Nanami Kento took a breath, a little confused.

The defense is very powerful, but too rigid. To deal with Jiecheng, there must be at least a witch spirit in charge.

"This is what's called a nap, right? If a mosquito buzzes in your ear while you're half asleep, what would you do?"

The metaphor is strange but accurate, and everyone immediately understands the state of the witch god. He can hear mosquitoes flying around him, and then consciously slap them with his hands, but he never wakes up to look for insecticide.

"But if a mosquito really bites him, the Witch God will open his eyes. No wonder that 'Hall of Valor' hid after seeing us." Isayama Yomi felt tremendous pressure and finally understood why the two players who caught up with him did not contact him.

In the boundless forest, they finally caught up with the players of 'Hall of Valor', but the two sides did not face each other directly. At that time, they wondered if it would be more convenient to explore the tower together?

"Hint five requires you to stay in the mausoleum for seven days before returning. Are they trying to save time?"

"No, in that case, they should just stay at the Infinite Stairs. Those two must have realized that something was wrong with the Sorcerer God and came in to investigate. Since someone was ahead exploring the way, they were happy to make way."

Tip 1 just gives players a common goal, but no one wants to take risks.

Yuki had already understood that everyone wanted to take advantage. As for the two people, he looked at them from a distance and found that they were just like in the picture, one with Saber's face and the other a little girl.

He is so unchivalrous, he should not be Aurelion. The girl has black hair, so she is not Illya.

As a former Moon fan, Yuuki was actually quite willing to get in touch with Valhalla, but the other party went their own way throughout the entire dungeon and remained neutral, so he didn't want to approach them in a flattering manner.

“He is always watching over us.”

Yuuki's creepy words are the scariest ghost story at this moment.

Every player is a veteran of countless battles. After getting close enough to the core of the mausoleum, even without the clues from exploring the tower, their intuition tells them the answer:

This crow's mouth was right. The witch god had awakened, but for some reason he had not awakened completely.

Gulu.

Feilun swallowed subconsciously and tugged at Yuki's sleeve obediently: "The witch god's status has been confirmed, otherwise, let's go back the way we came."

This sentence resonated with everyone, and everyone nodded, especially Peggy, the mercenary with little presence, who knelt on the ground almost devoutly.

You sleep, I won't disturb you.

"Are you scared?" Yuki glanced away.

"Hahaha, how can a man say he's afraid? He's just a little cowardly." The Flame Pillar laughed dryly, but no one understood his dry humor at this time.

"Be rational, we can get the same result if we go back. Who among you can bypass hint five? Besides, I have already analyzed the plan on the way to explore the tower." Yuki had a blank expression on his face, with only calmness in his eyes.

Three plans and fifteen contingency plans. It must be difficult to just write them down.

Everyone's expressions froze. When the signs of the witch god's awakening became clearer and clearer, Yuki had already made a plan, one of which was aimed at the current situation.

The black stairs are infusing energy into the crack every moment. Why is it pretending to be asleep? It's because it hasn't woken up yet. When a spirited witch god appears, how can the players stop him?

Therefore, it is necessary to wake it up in advance and interrupt this slumber, but the problem is that the witch god has been awake for four days and his strength is now terrifying.

"But we only need to hold on for two more days, and we can also unite with other players." Nanami Kento clenched his fists, his expression a little ferocious, a common emotion among players.

I'll take the benefits and you take the risks. Why should I do such a terrible thing as awakening the witch god?

"Don't be so optimistic. We're not even related. Why would you sacrifice yourself to let us escape? You've been through at least a dozen dungeons. When did players ever unite to fight the boss?"

Yuki's words were cruel, but that was the truth. Players' cooperation was limited to two or three factions, and players like those in the Tower of War were already being abnormally decent.

"There's no friendship, only the current situation. Now there's a great chance to weaken the Boss. Are you really going to watch him recover for another three days?" Yuki touched the black stairs with his scabbard, making a 'dong dong' sound.

[Hint 1: The Witch God will fully awaken after seven days. Players can choose to terminate the resurrection ceremony or defeat the Witch God.]

The hint was a bunch of nonsense without any punctuation marks. The word "thoroughly" hung over their heads like a knife. Under Yuki's leadership, they had already reached the core of the mausoleum and understood the meaning of every word in the hint.

When the seven towers were activated and the Tower of the Witch God appeared, the Witch God had already begun to awaken. The stairs under his feet, which Rita was completely unable to purify, were like main pipelines, continuously providing energy.

"We can choose to terminate the resurrection ceremony and bring all the soulless people here. We will definitely be able to cut off this ladder." Huang Quan's eyes turned and he chose to settle for the second best option.

"I told you, the Witch God is watching the giant island. He won't just sit there and watch us lay mines outside." Yuki pointed at the fiery clouds behind him, his tone flat. "Besides, how are hundreds of Soulless Ones going to get through the defenses? Every death is one less."

No one spoke now. They had already experimented with Rita on the way, and the witch god in a dormant state would also concentrate his firepower. With just a few soulless people, only two were left under heavy protection.

"Is there really no other way?"

"Well, I mentioned it in my plan. If we can't strengthen ourselves, we'll weaken the enemy. We'll disrupt the ritual three days in advance and try to keep the witch god's awakening incomplete. Mr. Nanami, don't you want to unite the players?" Yuki looked over and said with a sinister smile:

"Facts speak louder than words. Let them face the Witch God directly, and they will naturally make a reasonable choice."

There are three days left, and other players will enter the mausoleum one after another. If the Witch God wakes up early, no one can run faster than their companions. They will either fight to the death or die together.

But Yuki had another thought: Isn't the Judge just looking for cannon fodder? I want to see who is more terrifying, the Sorcerer God or the Judge.

"Directly erase the conditions for returning in seven days?" Nanami Kento took a breath. This was too cruel. "You will be hated to death by other players."

"I don't crave the fools' understanding. Give the Sorcerer God three more days to recover. Even if the fools want to unite, it will be too late." Yuki looked at the tense faces and changed his tone to command:

"According to the plan, I bear the greatest risk. What are you afraid of?"

Chapter 26 The Lost and the Reincarnated

Step into the night and pick the stars.

Yuki walked very slowly. The higher he climbed, the more pressure he felt. A powerful and ominous aura leaked out from the cracks, and the sound of his violent heartbeat could be heard in the dead silence.

A boss that surpasses the 'monster'.

Yuki stared at the crack in front of him, his thoughts like a tide, countless ideas emerged and disappeared, the smell in his nose was called 'time', and the fragment in his mind was called 'death'.

According to the mechanical believers, there is a huge gap between the epic level and the monster level, and they are the real big guys in the reincarnation game.

From Monster III to Monster IV, a dozen or so specialization points are enough, but from Monster IV to Epic level, even if I get the achievement, I don’t know how many points are needed.

There is no experience bar setting in the reincarnation game, but Yuki smelled the scent of time and felt what it means that there are always mountains beyond mountains.

There's a world of difference between the two. How many level 6 items and specialization points are needed to max out physical fitness or characteristics?

He didn't know, but he knew that according to the settings of the reincarnation game, even if a paying player earned 10,000 enhancement points, it would be impossible to reach this level. That required completing an extremely difficult task and achieving an epic achievement.

"But I've already reached the epic level. All I need are points. Sooner or later, I'll be able to join this level."

As he thought about it, Yuki gradually straightened his back. Unlike the Flame Pillar and others, he only lacked accumulation.

We must be confident and we should be confident. If we can put an end to the war between humans and insects that lasted for countless years, why can't we face the witch god directly?
