Nanami suddenly fell silent.
She had just claid the top spot in the Endless Tower a few days ago, suppressing the once-mighty Yu Qingcang, which was a huge honor for Japan.
But now, everyone’s focus was gradually shifting to an Undead Mage!
This attention should have been hers, Nanami’s!
And besides, in these past two days, that Undead Mage has been climbing the tower layer by layer, once in the morning and once in the evening, almost like clockwork, as if punching a ti card at work!
Nanami already felt an invisible pressure gradually closing in.
"Regroup the team, rest, wait for my return." Nanami mused aloud.
Then, under the strange gazes of the crowd, she headed to the dungeon hall.
Usually boastful and enjoying the spotlight, today she oddly concealed her appearance.
This was the first ti Nanami was facing this Undead Mage directly.
On the rankings, the tenth-place Undead Mage’s position wasn’t particularly high, yet it was exceptionally glaring!
Globally ranked in the top thirty, the only conventional profession!
An Undead Mage who had never appeared on the rankings before!
Also, the only one who hid their personal information, marked only with question marks!
But it’s this mystery that left Nanami baffled, clearly just an ordinary common Undead Mage, yet exerting an inexplicably imnse pressure on her!
Her eyes fixated on the ranking board’s Undead Mage as if her gaze could penetrate the panel to see beyond the Forbidden Sea, to behold that Undead Mage!
At this mont, in the dungeon hall, many Professionals from Japan were also paying attention to the Endless Tower’s rankings.
"Is it that Undead Mage again? This is too arrogant!"
"Two layers every day, one in the morning, one at night, unfaltering, this isn’t climbing, this is routine!"
"Goddess Nanami just got the top not long ago, won’t she be pushed down?"
"Hard to say, this Undead Mage seems quite strange."
"If Nanami really gets pushed down, wouldn’t she be furious?"
"When Nanami first entered the rankings, she wasn’t this fast, right?"
"Not at all, the difference is enormous!"
...
Every word reached Nanami’s ears.
Her face turned steely, biting her teeth hard, she silently turned and left the dungeon hall.
Returned to Ikenai Grand Shrine.
Nanami glanced at the reorganized team and said solemnly, "Today’s raid is canceled, everyone disperse."
Upon hearing this, everyone felt as if they’ve been granted amnesty!
They participated with a spirit of facing death bravely.
After all, the mortality rate was too high!
Now suddenly being canceled, it was as if they’d gained a new lease on life.
Then, Nanami summoned the high-level mbers for a eting!
In the eting room.
Nanami asked, "Has anyone investigated that Undead Mage?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other, but no one spoke.
Of course, no one investigated!
How to investigate?
Cross-border teleportation has been banned by Longxia, so we can’t go, and the other party hid their identity, how to investigate?
Moreover, wasn’t it you, Nanami, who said not to investigate?
Thinking an Undead Mage wasn’t necessary to pay attention to, now what’s up? When things have beco urgent, you think of investigating?
Seeing everyone’s confused faces, Nanami felt a wave of anger inside, but she indeed had said not to bother with that Undead Mage.
So she could only clench her teeth and remain silent.
At this ti, one of the high-level mbers cautiously said, "I paid minimal attention, not exactly investigating, just felt it a bit odd."
"Speak." Nanami looked at the person.
The person took out a list and put it on the table.
He began to speak, "I checked the global ranking list, since only the top thirty can be viewed, it’s clear at a glance, currently, the highest global level is still Yu Qingcang, and the last in the thirtieth place, the lowest level is 53, but among the top thirty, there’s no Undead Mage, let alone one hiding their personal information."
This indeed wasn’t considered an investigation, all was evident at a glance.
Upon seeing the Undead Mage climbing the tower, everyone naturally assud the other side had a high level.
But now it seems.
It’s an Undead Mage not even reaching level 53!
Nanami was stunned, incredulously saying, "You an, this Undead Mage rushing the Endless Tower layers these two days isn’t even level 53? Are you kidding ?"
"Although it’s quite bizarre, that’s indeed the case, their level is definitely not reaching 53, this can’t be mistaken." The person replied.
The strange feeling in Nanami’s heart grew even stronger!
An Undead Mage not even at level 53, approaching on the Endless Tower!
She was clearly at level 61, while the other was at level 55, whether it was the profession’s strength, level, or tower layer, there seed quite a gap.
Before, every Professional on the rankings, each layer’s challenge was extrely difficult!
Occasionally, even High Combat Professionals would suddenly disappear from the rankings.
That ant they perished in the attempt while climbing!
But now, the six-layer gap between that Undead Mage and her made Nanami feel an imminent crisis!
"Investigate! Imdiately send soone to cross the Forbidden Sea, head to Longxia, investigate that Undead Mage!"
"Moreover, keep an eye on the Endless Tower rankings. If that Undead Mage continues to climb, inform at once."
"Compile past national war reports, all notable Undead Mage data from Longxia!"
...
Nanami finally began to take things seriously.
What she needed to observe the most was whether that Undead Mage would continue climbing around six o’clock tonight.
If the other party continued climbing and completed their layer in the shortest ti among the sa tier, that’s what Nanami least wanted to witness!
After the eting, Nanami sat alone in the chair.
Her hands drooped over her pristine legs, trembling slightly, not out of fear, but tenseness, a pressure out of nowhere struck against her heart continuously.
Everything, rests on tonight!
She even thought of advancing to the sixty-third floor, but imdiately dismissed it.
No, it’s too risky!
And all of this is within Liu Xinxin’s plans!
On the other side in the dungeon, Liu Xinxin and Lu Ran stood together, while Ye Hongyi and Lei Tai went out to deal with Elites and the Boss.
Liu Xinxin squinted slightly, smiling as she looked at Lu Ran.
Her mouth curled upwards.
"What’s your current experience?" Liu Xinxin asked.
"23 at 97%, should quickly reach level 24 after lunch, but the speed seems to be slowing down." Lu Ran complained.
"You little rascal, you’re still not satisfied? This is already quite fast!" Liu Xinxin said softly.
They continued until dinner ti.
Lu Ran’s level reached twenty-four in the afternoon.
Slightly past six o’clock, they left the dungeon on schedule.
Liu Xinxin told Lu Ran, "Go ahead, 56th floor, make it swift."
"Alright!" Lu Ran licked his lips, heading towards the Teleportation Array to the Endless Tower.
At the sa ti.
Japan, Ikenai Grand Shrine.
Nanami, along with the Shrine’s high levels, gathered here, the entire eting room filled with a stifling and oppressive atmosphere.
Even Nanami’s palms were sweating, and the soft chair seed uncomfortable, making her backside damp.
