I tried to hold on for as long as I could, but the heat really was sothing else.
This kind of heat was not sothing that a mortal could resist.
This was sothing that only those immortals that I read about could resist.
Though it was too bad that there were no such immortals in our current world.
Even after the appearance of the dungeons, there were only so cultivators that had appeared. However, these were worldly cultivators that hadn't broken through the shackles of this world and could only be considered powerful Awakeners.
The strongest cultivator was soone who had created his own force called the Mount Hua Sect.
They were a mysterious sect that closed themselves off from the outside world to cultivate according to their techniques. They rarely opened up to the world and rarely ca out, so they were a force that was filled with mystery.
But the strength that their mbers demonstrated made them a place to fear.
Just the ones that had co down to the world to participate in events were already high ranking Awakeners.
So far, there had been two S Ranks, five A Ranks, and dozens of B Ranks that had co from the Mount Hua Sect.
No one knew just how powerful this sect really was.
Perhaps it really was a place where immortals cultivated…
But putting that digression aside…the real problem now was the heat that was around . It was getting stronger and stronger without a single chance to resist it. The longer that I stayed in this room, the more that I was cooked by this room…
I really couldn't do anything against this heat.
It even started to hurt to breathe.
Was this how it felt to be cooked alive?
I looked at the blue phoenix as if I was hoping that there was sothing that she could do for .
But the blue phoenix just looked at as if she was waiting for to die.
The only thing I could do was give a bitter laugh as I felt my body functions slowing down.
Eventually, I couldn't feel anything anymore and I fell down on the ground.
With my last bit of strength, I could see the blue phoenix looking down at with what seed to be a smile.
That was when I really wanted to punch her in the face.
…
"So you failed again."
When I appeared in the white room, I found the guide standing there waiting for with a smile on her face.
That also made want to punch her in the face, but I was able to hold myself back.
Instead, I asked, "Where does that blue phoenix even co from? Why is she so unreasonable?"
The guide stood there with a faint smile on her face without saying a thing.
The way that she looked at , it was almost as if she was saying that I already had my answer…
What answer?
All that happened was that I got killed again!
But seeing that she wasn't going to say anything, I gave a sigh and said, "Just leave alone if you don't want anything. I want so ti alone to think."
However, the guide didn't disappear after I said this.
She just stood there looking at with the sa smile on her face as she said, "Who says that I don't have anything for you?"
I couldn't help looking at her with a surprised look when I heard this before asking, "What is it?"
The guide raised a hand and tossed sothing over to before saying, "Since we won't et again the next ti you die, I figured that I should give this to you now."
I easily caught this thing since it was a simple toss that ca my way, but when I saw it, I couldn't help being confused.
That was because the thing that the guide had tossed was a simple coin.
There wasn't anything special about this coin nor were there any special markings, but this coin was clearly sothing special. I could tell because of the material that this coin was made of, it was not a material that I was familiar with.
After looking at the coin for a bit, I looked back up to find that the guide…was gone.
After she tossed the coin, she disappeared without saying a thing while I was distracted by the coin.
As for what this coin was…I still had no idea.
Shaking my head with a bitter smile, I eventually put the coin away.
But at the sa ti, I couldn't help looking at the tir that was over the door.
I only had ten minutes left.
I had wasted ten minutes trying to figure out what that coin was…
Was it all a ploy by the guide?
No, she wouldn't be that an, right?
I really had no idea since I didn't know the guide well enough to comnt on this.
Still, since she gave this thing to , there must be a reason for her giving this coin.
I would just see what I could do with it in the future.
For the rest of the ti, I tried to figure out what to do.
It was just too bad that I wasn't able to figure out a single thing.
Though I did rember sothing from the twenty fifth floor.
The small dragon had told sothing about this fiftieth floor.
He had told that if I wanted to fight the blue phoenix, I needed to make it quick.
He had said that five minutes would be my ti limit.
Thinking about it now, I finally realized what he ant by five minutes.
It was the five minute ti that I had before the heat suddenly turned up, that was what the small dragon had been warning about.
Taking a deep breath, I stepped into the portal since there was nothing else that I could do.
Whether I was prepared or not, this was my final attempt.
