Chapter 115: Behind Closed Doors
72.7 per cent for option I, 13.6 per cent for option two and 13.6 per cent for option III.
……
[Option 1]
[Full Coverage]
Specifically: [Power Core] and [Materialization] are compounded. All the flames in the body are burned more fully. The speed of action, the speed of reaction, and the temperature rise.
……
Zheng Zhuo chose [Full Coverage]. The wind blew from afar, holding up his body. His gold became lighter and brighter until it began to turn white. He felt more control over his body and could change his direction in the wind more easily.
Sticky black water erupted from the monster's mouth, and Zheng Zhuo easily dodged it.
His reaction speed has also improved a lot.
……
【Zheng Zhuo】
[Race: Chaos Shadow Fire (Golden White)]
[Ability: Identification, Evolution]
[Evolved: Speed++, Dexterity+, Ignite, Venom, Territorial Awareness]
[Points: 0]
[Optional Evolution: None]
……
The color turns white, and both speed and dexterity are increased by a notch.
After being able to easily dodge attacks, the faster flight speed helped Zheng Zhuo fly higher and farther and farther. He gradually opened up with the monsters.
The roar behind him grew louder and louder.
With a rumbling sound, the bell tower giant completely disintegrated behind Zheng Zhuo. Its body split from its body, and broken bricks and gravel fell and smashed against the houses with a loud bang.
The monsters lost their grip and fell with a roar.
Zheng Zhuo left all this behind.
His pale body rose into the air, and to the northeast, two white, spired buildings were getting closer and closer.
Zheng Zhuo stretched himself and began to glide. He flew towards the two white-spiked buildings, and passed between them.
Beneath the towering walls, at the end of the city, are small villages crowded together.
Zheng Zhuo flew over the village.
After crossing the village, the ground once again turned from stone slabs to raw earth.
Once again he went into the wilderness.
This time, though, the wilderness is no longer cracked.
All the land is a moist dark color.
The terrain is sinking. Trees and vegetation are plentiful.
They are not like the wilderness where Zheng Zhuo set out and the grass and trees near the mountains are all in a dead state, but in the gray and black, they retain a little vitality.
On the ground, large herbivores are munching on plants.
In the distance, the sound of water roared.
Zheng Zhuo glided through the air.
He had gone some way again. The sound of the water gradually increases.
Soon.
Rumble......
The faint sound of water turned into the sound of rushing water.
“……”
Zheng Zhuo looked into the distance from a high place. A large rushing river came into view.
And......
“…… Towers. ”
Zheng Zhuo faintly saw a tall tower. The tower was still hidden in the thick fog, but the strange light at the top of the tower had already shone through.
It has been a while since Zheng Zhuo left the golden space. But he still recognized the light at a glance.
When he first entered this world, Zheng Zhuo saw that [Joker] and the black-covered book were both located at the top of the tower.
"I wonder if they're still there?"
Zheng Zhuo remembered that every time he checked the situation of the [Subconscious World], he had seen the [Joker] on that tower.
"There's a good chance it's going to be...... Right? ”
The destination was already close at hand, but Zheng Zhuo couldn't be sure.
"Anyway, it's coming."
Once again, he raised himself to heights. [Chaos Shadow Fire] turned into a white speck of light in the sky.
As the distance got closer, Zheng Zhuo saw the mouth of the river and the other side of the river. The estuary is divided into three large islands.
The tower is located on top of the largest island.
Can I just fly over? Fly into the tower?
Zheng Zhuo began to try hard.
The great river is fast-flowing. Even the air around it contains moisture. The water vapor forms a thick wall of fog on the surface of the river.
Zheng Zhuo walked through the fog. His body became damp. And the cold wind that came down the river also caused some obstacles to Zheng Zhuo.
Zheng Zhuo tried to make himself rise higher. He realized that he had a limiting height: almost as tall as the spire of the tower.
Upward, the cold air will make him cold.
As a result, Zheng Zhuo adjusted the height and position near the very wide river. The increased temperature, dexterity, and speed helped him a lot. The wind was howling on the river, but he was still able to try to fly over the river.
Prosperous...... Prosperous......
In the roar of the river, Zheng Zhuo flew up and down in the air.
The fog made him lose his vision. However, he can provide vision on his own.
The golden-white flame burned more and more moisture. Obstacles are falling, visibility is increasing.
Zheng Zhuo took two steps forward, took one step back, and struggled for a long time. His height was slowly decreasing. Finally......
He crossed the river in a struggle.
……
The towering Mage Tower is right in front of you.
In the thick fog, Zheng Zhuo touched the surface of the towering mage tower. Its façade is made of blue-green marble and does not occupy a large area. It was thin and tall, and when Zheng Zhuo looked up, he could see the strange light flickering at the top.
"The end of the journey...... Is it coming? ”
Zheng Zhuo suppressed his excitement and took off again.
This time, he began to spiral around the mage tower.
It's cold all around. Zheng Zhuo's take-off power is not sufficient. Whenever this happens, he will stick to the tower of the Mage's Tower.
He filled himself into the marble and the space between them, clinging to them, slowly flowing upwards for a short distance.
Then, take off again and take off.
Zheng Zhuo completed this series of operations with unimaginable dexterity when he first arrived in this world.
During this time, he would occasionally look down.
He saw a door at the bottom of the tower that looked like an entrance.
Zheng Zhuo was still a little surprised by this.
Because, he remembered that in the golden world, when he first saw [Joker], the other party climbed up along the outer wall.
(If the Mage Tower has a door, it means there is a staircase inside, right?) )”
Why don't you take the stairs and climb up from outside the wall? Is it because you're worried about the internal organs?
Zheng Zhuo thought about these things and slowly flew up.
He passed through the extreme heights enveloped in the thick fog. Now, he saw animals roaming around the islands near the mouth of the river. From a distance, it looks like a large herbivore such as cattle and deer.
Zheng Zhuo continued to go up.
The wind was getting cold again.
Zheng Zhuo saw the window lattice at the top of the Mage Tower.
"It's here!"
Zheng Zhuo was overjoyed.
The color and appearance of this window lattice were exactly the same as what he saw in the [Golden World]!
Merely......
When Zheng Zhuo saw it in the [Golden World], the window was open, [Clown] was lying on the window, and the black book was also placed by the window.
And now, the windows are closed.
Zheng Zhuo half-flew and half-jumped, and came to the window.
The windows were tightly shut. There were heavy curtains drawn inside, and nothing could be seen.
“……”
This is something Zheng Zhuo couldn't have imagined. He thought he could at least observe the situation inside.
Zheng Zhuo tried [Territorial Awareness].
However, there seems to be something special about the Mage Tower. In the view of [Territorial Consciousness], the interior of the Mage Tower is a warm whole. There is simply no way to distinguish.
……
