Chapter 284: Excellent/Lacking/Future

The skeleton fell to the ground and was reduced to ashes.

The throwing knife that had been stuck in his body into a large pile of bone spurs also fell, and Arka walked over and picked it up.

I took a closer look.

"I didn't expect it to work wonders at this time." This is the attack method that Aka just came up with on a whim.

He didn't expect to have such a serious impact on the skeleton, which was also a skeleton, which he didn't expect.

A large number of bone spurs protruded, completely blocking the limb movements of its upper body through the gap in the skull.

Otherwise, it will take more effort at this level.

Once again, the environment has changed.

Arka returned to the hall.

The number of the gate in front of you shows the sign of five.

Looking at the sign on the door, Arka was thinking, should he continue to the next level for the trial?

According to speculation, the strength of the enemy in the next layer should have reached 18 spirals, and he was only 14 spirals.

If it is placed outside, Arka may still feel that he has the possibility of overstepping the level.

But after these layers of fighting, Arka found that every enemy here has the possibility of being able to skip the level of battle.

Whether it's the combination of spells or offensive skills, it can be said to be very suitable.

Fortunately, the only thing that Alka is happy about may be that the enemies here do not have the treasure.

If any of these enemies have a treasure in their hands, he won't have to play with it.

Although the spell effect displayed by the skeleton just now is already in the top category, like a spell born from a treasure.

But after all, it was not as powerful as the treasure.

The spell that the skeleton had just mastered was matched with his means of attack, and if he was not careful, even the one who had mastered a treasure.

There is also a high probability that he will die at his hands.

I thought about it.

Arka decided to move on to the next level.

After all, he has mastered two treasures, and even if he can anticipate the enemies of the next layer, it is definitely aimed at his own type.

But as long as you don't master the treasure, you can accept it and have a certain chance of defeating.

And he is really in danger of dying at that time, and he can leave by admitting defeat.

With that in mind, Arka pushed the door open with all his might.

As the state returned to perfection, Alka entered inside.

The scenery that appeared in front of him did not appear in any unfavorable situation for him as Arka thought.

It is a circular stone platform, and the edge of the stone platform is surrounded by a railing.

It's not like an arena.

It's a bit like a training ground.

In front of him was a middle-aged man dressed in shape-shaped gray clothing.

His facial expression and facial features look very ordinary, and you won't have any impression of him if you throw it in the crowd.

He just put his hands behind his back and looked at Alka.

He nodded slightly as he watched as Arka turned his attention to him.

"Hello Trialist, I am the instructor of this Tower of Trials, and I will be your opponent next."

Can you speak, can you communicate?

Arka frowned, then why did those enemies just show no possibility of communication?

But there is a change in this layer?

"Why can you communicate? Is there any difference between this level and the others? ”

Facing the problem of Alka.

The middle-aged man who claimed to be an instructor on the other side was very patient.

said: "Because this layer is the limit of what your strength can face, and the previous layers are below your strength."

If you can't even clear the level of strength below you, then naturally you don't need an instructor to adjust your combat methods.

And if you clear the level, the tower will decide whether you need an instructor to adjust it according to your previous combat style, helping you better control your power. ”

"I see, thank you for the answer."

Arka nodded after listening and said, it seems that this is the real training ground.

It's the place that is truly known as the Tower of Trials.

Break through yourself and forge ahead, not just alone, the Tower of Trials will help.

"You're welcome."

As he spoke, the instructor in front of him looked at him and said, "You position yourself as a long-range spellcaster?" A deceitler? ”

Arka nodded, he really positioned himself like this.

At the same time, the morphological transformation is carried out through simulation, which is used to take into account more aspects.

Seeing Arka nodding, the instructor in front of him shook his head.

"Then you don't seem to be acting very well, if you blindly dodge, it can be regarded as deceit."

One sentence directly made Arka a little embarrassed on the spot.

Because that's true, his favorite thing to do in battle is to get away and attack.

Or switch to the state of the Dream Grim Reaper for melee combat.

There's no problem with that, the problem is that there's no deception at all.

The only deceptive action is the mirror maze and the coordination with the traversal realm.

The instructor didn't say anything more, but raised his hand and ticked at Alka.

"Attack me, bring out your greatest strength."

Do you look down on people so much?

Since they all said so, Arka is no longer polite, after all, this is a place of trial.

Without hesitation, start straight to the mirror.

A labyrinth of mirrors instantly encloses the entire stone platform.

And the instructor just stood in the labyrinth.

"Does this thing cost a lot of mana?"

"Not much." Arka's voice came from all directions.

It seems like a lot, but for Arka with a mirror surface, this cost is acceptable.

Hearing this, the instructor didn't say anything more, and stood there and closed his eyes directly.

"The surface of the mirror has a spell attached to it to keep out probing, huh...... But it's too rough.

The mirror maze is just a way to trick vision, but it doesn't work for a lot of creatures, does it?

And what if you face an enemy who doesn't look with your eyes? ”

A mirrored card flew in an arc from the corner of the back towards the instructor.

A tiny finger-sized projectile flew out and hit the card with precision.

This magic bullet has nothing to praise other than its speed. After hitting the card accurately, the card was instantly skewed, with little kinetic energy, and fell to the ground in a flutter.

More cards are flying in from all directions.

The path of these cards is not a straight line, but a variety of arcs, which seem to be difficult to prevent.

"The multi-angle attack, and the weird flight angle, is really good for an enemy, and this kind of offensive skill is commendable."

Faced with such an attack, the instructor abandoned the method of hitting them all with magic bullets. Raise your hand and wave it vigorously.

The magic flew out.

A strange scene appeared.

All the cards suddenly swayed in the air, as if they had been violently blown by a gust of wind, lost their original flight path, and slid diagonally in all directions.

"The trick of shaking the air with magic is inexpensive and easy to learn.

If you know a little bit of wind-related spells, then this trick is easier to crack.

There are too many cons to this. ”

A praising of Arka's attack was followed by a wave of disparagement.

He has both advantages and disadvantages.

Then a magic bullet appeared in his hand, and an unknown and rudimentary spell was attached to it.

Gently throw it out.

The spell was thrown into the air, and then instantly flew towards the place where Arka was hiding.

The moment it flew away, it suddenly accelerated.

Slammed into Arka.

Fortunately, Alka remained vigilant and rolled to the side, dodging the attack.

"It's a very simple [Channeling] spell that even a child can learn."

Children of 30,000 years ago are not the same as children of today.

Arka silently complained.

Then the instructor directly opened his hands, and the magic bullets were condensed and floated to the top of his head.

Then he quickly smashed it towards where Alka was.

Densely connected in a straight line.

This Arka had to dodge through the mirror and quickly through it.

"There's a better solution? Why do you have to use walkthrough? This kind of dodge consumes a lot of mana, doesn't it? ”

The instructor's questions were raised, affecting Arka's thoughts.

But let's be honest.

Arka felt that he was right, but the words obviously couldn't affect his thoughts.

The intensity is too low.

There is indeed a better way, if calculated by magic.

Whether it's summoning a mirror to block it, or turning into a dream Grim Reaper to flicker.

It will cost a little less mana than using a mirror to walk through.

"With your pink mist, they can affect other mana, just a little more fine-grained."

Obviously, what the instructor said was not quite what Arka understood.

The instructor said with his eyes closed, sensing his position in a way that Arka couldn't understand.

The magic bullet that was controlled by him to throw the sky, and under his control, he accurately found the location of Alka, and kept attacking.

Arka followed his instructions and let out a large amount of pink mist.

After the fog spreads, all the magic bullets are slowed down, which is a function that comes with the pink mist.

"Have you ever wondered what the nature of your Pink Mist power is?"

As he spoke, Arka was still controlling the mist, trying to stop the flying projectiles.

As the fog slowed down the speed of the projectile, he was able to dodge in place more calmly.

But this kind of foggy operation made the instructor shake his head slightly, it was too rough.

"As a dream king, how can you manipulate the dream fog so roughly? It seems that you have obtained such an identity through a special opportunity.

I hope you try harder, or you will disgrace the kings. ”

This instantly made Arka even more embarrassed, which is a fact that can never be refuted.

He had no choice but to answer the previous question.

"It's sleep, dreams."

Arka replied as he dodged.

"No, it's the real essence."

"Spirit."

"Yes, your magic has been completely transformed into a spiritual attribute, and you are a natural trickster, so why ...... You don't seem to have any spirit-related attacks and spells? ”

From here, you can hear a great deal of doubt from the instructor.

"......" Arka was a little silent.

He couldn't say that it took him more than ten days after he became a dream god and a dream king to discover the essence of his magic change.

He hadn't paid much attention to the power nature of the Pink Mist before, he had just thought of it as some of the power of the Dream Catcher.

It wasn't until a dozen days ago that he realized it didn't seem right.

The Dreamcatcher's Pink Mist is nothing like the Pink Mist of his magic assimilated.

They also have a spiritual nature, because dreams are the world of spirits.

This discovery was only known to him by relying on the power of the Dream Kings and the bloodline of the Dream Divine Descendants.

Dreams are not dreams.

But the Dreamcatcher's pink mist is mixed with the "Dream Scavenger" rule.

His magic is only the essence of the spirit.

"Why did you just use it as a powerful melee state when you were a dream creature?"

"He's essentially the same source as your magic, isn't he? That should have been a bigger change, wasn't it? ”

"The mirror mask you're using simulates a lot more variation, so why not match it well?"

Don't read it, master.

The instructor's various languages have made Arka not even want to attack.

Nearly all of his body was left behind, and he asked all sorts of fatal questions.

There are a lot of problems here, and Arka has actually found them, but he just hasn't changed them yet, or he doesn't want to change them yet.

The root of the bad character of the character, as well as other things and hobbies, shared his experience.

And the time is too short, these powers are always obtained by him one after another.

It was too short for him to have the time or energy to learn it completely.

Even if he spent most of his rest time reading and studying, it was not enough.

He's only really stepped into the industry for a few years.

He spent almost most of his time replenishing the basics with the books in Lucilia's Dream Library.

That's when he had to do it.

"Your powers are so varied, and each one is good on its own, but the combination of them is a drag on you.

You are too young, too young at this age compared to your achievements, which is your advantage and your disadvantage.

I can see that you don't seem to be the one who received this kind of education since childhood, how long have you been in my industry? ”

"Hmm...... The time is a little vague, but it must have been about 5 years. ”

When the words "......" came out, the instructor himself fell silent.

"Well, kid, I take back what I said earlier, you've done a pretty good job."

"But after that, you have to make trade-offs, don't rush, just take your time.

You are no longer mortal, you have the blood of gods, you have the power of kings, and time will not leave more traces on you. ”

This is a real wild genius, and he must be carefully helped to grow.

The instructor's eyes had already been opened, and he could even see a slight glint in his eyes.

He raised his hand and snapped his fingers slightly.

The maze of mirrors that surrounded him shattered in an instant.

"Each mirror seems to be about the same hardness, and it only takes about the same amount of magic to vibrate around."

He said it as if he was showing off.

Arka just stood there and nodded.

"Your strength is not systematic, your attacks are unorganized, it's like a wild way.

Didn't an elder teach you how to fight? It's as if you didn't have any training. ”

Listening to the instructor's words, Arka nodded.

"Yes, the fighting methods that have been shown at this stage are just my own cranky figurative figuratives."

"Hmm......" the instructor groaned, worse than he thought.

"I don't really know what it's like out there anymore, but I can feel some of the changes.

It seems that what I call normal no longer applies to the outside world, but being stronger is not a bad thing, is it.

No matter how the world changes, it will always be like this, and everything can be determined by power...... Alas. ”

He seems to be more than just an incidental creature to the Tower of Trials.

"But my experience should still apply."

Saying that, he raised his head and looked at Arka and said seriously: "Remember what I just said, the essence of power is yourself, don't use the treasure as a weapon or a tool.

You should get to the bottom of it, study its power, and then take control. ”

"At this stage, you might think it's good, but it's like you're wielding it with a knife.

Razor-sharp blades will allow you to slash enemies in a haphazard swing, but why not use a more refined and skillful swing?

That's how he becomes your strength.

It's you who control the blade, not it's controlling you. ”

Arka nodded, he could understand what the instructor was trying to say.

"The first thing you have to do is to build a system of deceit according to the nature of your magic, and everything that is alive has a spirit.

This is a great advantage, the essence of your bloodline power is moving towards this aspect, you have to go in this direction. ”

"When you probably have your own ideas, the next time I come back, I will teach you personally again and give you some of my opinions."

Saying goodnight, the instructor looked at Arka and waved.

"You've failed, looking forward to your next trial."

The voice fell.

Arka vanished in place.

Once again, he returned to the place where he had entered the Tower of Trials.

"Your trial result this time is to clear the 4th floor, congratulations." The triangle said as it floated beside it.

The rest of the people gathered around them.

"How does it feel inside? What kind of trial is it? Mind? Or fighting? ”

"To put it in perspective, this Tower of Trials specializes in combat, and the Tower of Trials for the Soul has long since been destroyed, so I'm sorry I can't let you experience it." The triangle said next to it.

Arka listened to everyone's questions and replied, "How to say it, it's very rewarding, it can be regarded as helping me sort out my thoughts during this time."

I suggest you all try it out, it's very, very useful. ”

Indeed, as the instructor said, his power was too chaotic and there was no main thread.

Multiple lines run in parallel, but they can't complement each other.

I wanted it and I wanted it, but I didn't get anything.

His time didn't allow it, and he had to read frantically, absorbing knowledge to supplement his missing foundation.

He needs to re-chart a better path for his current power system.

Let's look forward to the next trial.

Arka has decided to stay on the island for a while, straightening out the system of power.

And with so many suitable enemies like the Tower of Trials, it's rare to find them without putting their lives in danger.

But this has to be discussed with everyone.

Let's wait until they each complete a trial first.

Thinking like this, Arka looked at them and said, "When you all pass once, let's discuss the next action, how about it?" ”

"No problem, I'll do it this time."

Shadetti said as he stood on the portal.

According to Arka's behavior, he raised his left hand and placed it on the stone pillar and disappeared in place.

Looking at the vanished Shadetti, Jason turned his head to look at Arka and asked.

"How long have you been on it, just by your own feelings?"

"It's about 10~15 hours." Arka thought for a moment and said.

He couldn't tell an exact time, especially in the midst of a tense battle, where he felt time go fast and slow.

Especially at that time in the forest, the test is patience, and that layer should consume his time the most.

After answering the question, Arka looked up at the sky.

"Looks like this tower has a time-related function."

He hadn't noticed it when he first came out, but now that Jason asked him, he probably understood the reason for asking the question.

"Yes, it's been less than two hours since you went in and came out, and we wonder why you're so fast."

"And you don't seem to be hurt? Didn't clear the customs either, so how did you get down? Julia asked, looking at Arka from the side.

After all, Arka doesn't look like he's been through a battle at all, and even if there are no scars on his body, it doesn't seem that his physical strength and magic power have been consumed much.

Hearing this, Arka smiled and gave everyone a brief explanation of some of the tower's mechanics.

"I see, that is to say, the most important thing is to face the layer that is equal to your own strength?" Jason said.

Arka nodded.

When you get to that level, you will have the help of an instructor.

"How about you do me a favor while you wait?" The triangle floated beside it and said suddenly.

Look at the eyes of the crowd.

He explained, "As you should also know, this island has a high concentration of magic, because the structure of the stone tower itself has such abilities.

Due to the fragmentation and the passage of time, the magic is dispersed and the concentration of the entire environment increases, and those objects that have been affected and become animate begin to absorb the magic of robbing the island.

This has had a certain impact on the maintenance of the Tower of Trials. If you don't mind, you can clean up these elemental lives while you wait. ”

Hearing this, Arka nodded.

"No problem."

After all, cleaning up these elemental lives can still get the materials you need, so why not.
