The Ancients Really Knew How to Have Fun

Chapter 35 The Ancients Really Knew How to Have Fun

The eighth floor of the Tower of Lamentation.

Ding ding ding!

Two longswords, one red and one blue, clashed repeatedly, producing a series of crisp clanging sounds. Flames and frost splashed everywhere, causing Bai Qi, who should have been quietly watching the battle, to flee in all directions.

The ferocious beast on the eighth floor is the evolved form of the Hellfire Ghost Flame, the Hellfire Sword Demon.

[Name]: Hellfire Sword Demon

[Race]: Undead

[Growth Level]: Tier 1, Level 4

[Bloodline Level]: Low-ranking Lord

[Racial Skills]: Soul-Burning Sword, Ignite, Intimidate

[Introduction]: A ghost that controls flames, it has formed a body by using the longsword in its hand. Its weakness is its greatest strength.

Although it is still at the first tier, the racial level of the Hellfire Sword Demon has increased by one tier, and it has entered the lord tier.

Lords, as the name suggests, are qualified to lead elite and servant-level pets of the same kind. The most direct evidence of this is the essential skill for lords: intimidation.

It was precisely because of this skill that Alpha was unable to utilize its speed advantage for the first time and had no choice but to confront the Infernal Sword Demon head-on.

Fortunately, Alpha's current strength is not bad either, even exceeding Bai Qi's expectations, and it is not at a disadvantage for the time being.

The aftershocks of their battle were quite strong; if Bai Qi hadn't run fast, he might have been accidentally injured.

Bai Qi glanced at the scorching terrain around him, which resembled a volcano, and then at the ice armor on Alpha that was beginning to melt. Knowing that they couldn't afford to waste any more time, he gave Alpha a new command.

"Alpha, unleash your full power!"

Crackling!

(clear!)

Upon receiving the order, Alpha also abandoned its defense and concentrated all its energy on the Filial Son Sword, then slashed down heavily at the Hellfire Sword Demon.

This sword strike contained all of Alpha's power, making it extremely fast and powerful, but it also revealed a weakness.

The Hellfire Sword Demon also seized the opportunity and thrust out with his sword while sideways.

Alpha's ice armor shattered, revealing the blue bones inside.

With a clang, Alpha's bones, now stronger than steel, withstood the Hellfire Sword Demon's sword strike without sustaining any damage.

The Sword Demon, who had also lost his chance to defend himself, was cut in half by Alpha's sword, and his transparent body rapidly converged towards the Fire Sword like liquid.

The Sword Demon's true form is the greatsword formed from the essence of fire. As long as he returns to the greatsword, he can quickly recover in this special environment.

Just as the sword demon's soul returned to the fire sword, Alpha grabbed the hilt and simultaneously released a strong electric current from his glove, covering the fire sword.

ah! ! !

With a scream, the Hellfire Sword Demon temporarily lost its fighting ability, and Alpha immediately carried the Hellfire Sword Demon to Bai Qi.

Bai Qi gripped the fire sword, and the evolution egg instantly surged by 20%, reaching a progress rate of 88%.

Lords indeed receive far more bonuses than elites, even lower-ranking lords.

Bai Qi glanced at the giant black egg in the Beast Taming Space, which was already mostly cracked, and nodded in satisfaction.

I originally thought it would take a lot of effort to evolve again, but now it seems there shouldn't be any problems.

I wonder how much progress the next level's ferocious beast will provide. If it's also 20%, that would be great.

Bai Qi returned the fire sword to Alpha. Looking at Alpha's hand holding an ice sword in one hand and a fire sword in the other, he suddenly had another idea.

Unfortunately, this fire sword is the true form of the Hellfire Sword Demon and cannot be preserved. Otherwise, it could have been kept as a backup weapon for Alpha.

At that time, Alpha will have Frostmourne in one hand and Joy of Fire in the other.

Dual-Sword Berserker YYDS!

The effect of the strong current did not last long, and the Hellfire Sword Demon soon showed signs of revival. The surrounding fire energy gradually converged towards the fire sword under the sword demon's pull.

Crackling.

(Alpha doesn't like it this hot.)

Alpha conveyed a strong sense of disgust, and with a swing of the Filial Son Sword, he cleaved the Fire Sword in two.

The teleportation array slowly appeared, and a Soul-Nourishing Wood of significantly better quality appeared in front of Bai Qi.

"Finally, the final stage is here."

Bai Qi let out a heavy breath, suppressing his excitement, and stuffed the Soul Nourishing Wood and the Ice Spirit Iron obtained from the sixth level into Alpha's hands.

After that, Bai Qi used the Evolution Egg again.

Alpha climbed from the first floor to the eighth floor, consuming a lot of energy. The Evolution Egg can help Alpha repair its injuries and restore its energy.

This can be considered as using Bai Qi's physical and mental strength to replenish Alpha's mana.

After the black iron egg took shape, Bai Qi also went to the side and sat cross-legged to meditate.

This is something Bai Qi has discovered these days: meditating after using the Evolution Egg greatly increases the efficiency of improving mental strength.

Anyway, he had nothing to do for the next hour, so he might as well just sit around doing nothing.

If he were outside, he might not be in the mood for meditation.

An hour passed quickly, and Bai Qi and Alpha woke up together and stepped into the teleportation array.

After a dizzying spin, Bai Qi arrived at the ninth floor.

There are no ice fields, no cemeteries, and no volcanic lava.

There was only a black door with a somewhat familiar design.

In front of the gate, a red key hangs silently in mid-air.

Is this all for the ninth floor?

What about the legendary Great Persia?

What about the first-clear bonus?

What about the inheritance rights to the Secret Realm Tower?

I'm going to report this! The heartless GM is withholding player benefits!

Bai Qi instantly transformed into a vengeful spirit, unleashing a torrent of profanities at the secret realm.

After complaining for a while, Bai Qi calmed down, walked up to the key, and tried to hold it in his hand.

Then, a massive amount of information flooded into Bai Qi's mind, and at the same time, a red fruit fell from the sky and landed in front of Bai Qi.

However, Bai Qi was no longer in the mood to care about the fruit; his mind was completely absorbed in the information provided by the key.

The owner of this Tower of Lamentation really knows how to play!

……

Beneath the Tower of Lamentation.

Gao Cheng paced anxiously back and forth at the entrance, while Lu Yuan also looked conflicted, staring intently at the entrance to the Secret Realm Tower.

He wasn't particularly concerned about Bai Qi, but he just needed to confirm Bai Qi's current strength.

Just a month ago, he was a novice Beastmaster who had just contracted a skeleton soldier, and now he can climb to the ninth floor?

Even if those skeleton soldiers were mutated, it's still a bit too exaggerated.

Finally, after much anticipation, the runes on the ninth floor completely solidified, and Bai Qi appeared at the entrance of the Secret Realm Tower.

Following behind him was Alpha, whose entire body was encased in ice armor.

Is this guy's pet really not a Shadow Bone Spike (skeleton soldier)?!
