Adam's face tensed when he heard about this obliteration. While any other gar would think they were completely immortal, he knew it was not the case. If his soul were to be injured, or killed, then this damage would be real.
It was just that it was hard to find soul damaging ans in the mortal world, which was why players didn't have to worry and almost no one died. But Adam was currently in a Divine Artifact belonging to an evil god, it was probable Ardrith was telling the truth.
Seeing he now had Adam's attention, Ardrith said "But don't worry, with my help, you can go around that trap. Disable it, even."
Adam asked "How? That's a trap set by a deity." Ardrith replied "While I am only a spirit and that makes less powerful than back when I had my body, it also gives so advantages."
He pointed upward and said "As a spirit I fused with a part of this tower to survive, after all not even a legend could have survived for so long. Only a god can live for millions of years."
Adam found this curious too, but he also knew that there was a way for a Legend to beco near immortal, and that was the power of faith. The human Legends on Earth used this to live for far more than 10 000 years.
However, doing so on Epoch was almost impossible because all the faith went to the different gods and great devils, and trying to steal faith from them was near impossible.
Ardrith said "I have beco this artifact's semi spirit, aning we are both linked. While I cannot take control of it, I can still hold so power over it. One of which will allow to disable the trap. In exchange, all I want you to do is to give my a body back."
Adam asked "Do I have to kill soone and give you their body?" Ardrith shook his head and said "Of course no, I don't want to just possess a body, I want a body of my own."
"The Blood Tower is a very powerful spatial artifact that can use the 60 sub dinsions in it to store whatever you want, including living beings. Another function is to create illusory monsters that can be as powerful as a Level 250 Legendary Monster."
He added "To create a body for , you will have to sacrifice the ability of your tower to create illusory monsters, as well as so materials."
Adam shrugged and said "I accept." Although losing such a powerful ability was a sha, he wouldn't be able to get the tower in the first place without Ardrith's help, so he didn't feel reluctant to give away one of the tower's abilities. Moreover, a nearly infinite inventory was quite the reward as well.
Seeing Adam agree, Ardrith was ecstatic. He said "Then go on your way! You must reach the 60th Floor and clear it!"
Adam waved his hand and said "Sure, sure."
Adam walked toward the entrance of the next floor and disappeared.
On the next floor, Adam saw a battlefield, with many ghosts roaming about. Usually, Adam would have cleared a floor like this as fast as possible, but when he saw the ghosts he decided to do otherwise.
anwhile, outside, every vampire had beco tensed when they saw Adam's token had reached the 55th Floor, and every second seed like a year for them. And when they saw the token light up and move to the next floor, cheers echoed out in the crowd as everyone cried in relief and happiness.
Then, hours and hours passed, and Adam reached the next floor. And the next one. And the next one.
A few days had already went by, and Adam had cleared the 59th Floor. Adam had found several interesting floors on the way, including this 59th Floor as it was actually a Water World.
He made great advancents in all his skills and Concepts, and had even earned an unexpected reward. He also found out that Ardrith was able to follow him as went around, and could cross the different floors, except from the 60th one, or so he said.
Adam had long ago told him to screw off though, as he wanted to be alone in his training. Only now, as he was about to enter the 60th Floor, did Ardrith reappear. That was only to warn him about the 60th floor though, and make sure Adam was going to hold onto his promise.
Adam rely scoffed and entered the 60th Floor.
anwhile, outside, the vampires couldn't believe what was happening, and a few had actually fainted. The Aqua Sovereign had reached the 60th Floor They all looked at the food on the tables, when they set it they already expected to throw it away to the beasts, but as the days passed they felt like they could start to sll the alluring at, the nicely grilled vegetables
When Adam entered the 60th Floor, he found himself in a strange area. The sky was black, the land was red, the air was hot. In front of him, was a literal army, of demons.
While the other floors made an effort to place so landscape and were great to train in a particular concept, the 60th Floor had nothing of a training ground. It was a battlefield. Nothing more, nothing less.
As soon as he appeared, the demons started charging toward Adam, but were a few hundred ters away so he used a couple of seconds he had to look at their status, and he was spooked.
[Demon] (Ancient, Chosen, Level 50)
HP: 10,000,000/10,000,000
The Ancient Rank was the one between Elder and Ancestor, a rank exclusive to Chosen monsters That ant Adam had to face hundreds of monsters, each as strong as a Sovereign.
Adam now understood why the Blood Tower was said to be impossible to clear. Even if one reached this floor, clearing it was almost impossible.
But the word almost was the essence here, as Adam knew he had a chance. He had reached a level that was definitely above the other Sovereigns, every ghost of a Sovereign he had t, he had killed them, and he didn't even struggle to do so.
So demons were running on the ground, others were flying toward him, and they all released an Aura that was quite powerful. However, he knew those weren't the most powerful kinds of Sovereigns either.
Despite all being Ancient Rank demons, Adam was certain Neith, who was a rank below, could kill one of them, so despite those being Chosen Ones, they belonged to the lower class. If they were to try to climb the tower, they would be stopped on the 50th Floor. That still made them fearso opponents, but they were manageable.
As the demons ca closer and closer, Adam clasped his hands, and the area started shaking. Suddenly, a gigantic wall of water appeared in front of him and quickly grew higher and higher as it began moving forward.
In under a second, a hundred ters tall and five hundred ters wide wave of water had appeared, and it was heading straight toward the demons.
The humans seed smarter than the previous monsters as they tried to move away, but apparently it wasn't enough as they were hit by the wave of water.
All the demons lost over 1.6 million HP as they were hit, and the ones in the air fell to the ground. Steam also began rising from the ground as the water touched the hot ground, which covered everyone's vision.
The drenched demons, who all had a few broken bones, started launching large scaled attacks, all as powerful as B Rank skills, but because of the steam they weren't able to see anything.
All the water coming from Adam's water tide had been transford into steam, and what the demons didn't know was that they had dood themselves.
Suddenly, all the steam in the area moved toward the demons, as if they were focal points that drew in steam, and although they didn't fear the burn from the steam, as it accumulated around them it strated transforming into ice.
They couldn't even struggle as the ice gathered around them, and so even appeared within their bodies as they breathed in so steam. And the ice didn't just imprison them as even as the steam turned into ice, the ice still continued shrinking on itself, crunching the demons within.
Only after ten seconds were the demons able to react as they exploded in fire, vaporizing the ice within themselves as well as the one trapping them. This explosion skill was as powerful as a B Rank skill, and having hundreds of them activated at the sa ti created an explosion so big that it wasn't so different from Adam's [Inferno] skill, if not more powerful.
As the demons were trapped, the surrounding temperature had dropped by hundreds of degrees and hit slightly under 0, making it a perfect place for Adam to recuperate his aura.
Altough it only took ten seconds for the demons to free themselves, because of the great environnt Adam was able to recover 2000 Aura per second, thus recovering 20 000 Aura in those ten seconds.
As the flas spread all around the area, Adam bore the brunt of the damage, instantly losing 150k HP, leaving him with only 40k HP. However, it also allowed him to recover even more Aura as he switched his cultivation technique.
Tanking this attack had even spiked his recovery at a never before speed, allowing him recover more than half of his Aura, pushing it to 150k.
As the demons prepared themselves to attack him, Adam clenched his fists in excitent. As expected, the combo of the two A Rank Water skills he had learned worked well together, as all the demons had lost half of their health.
