"Eliana?" said Altair; he hadn’t expected to see the princess at his door at this hour."I won’t be staying here for long, can I just speak... for a moment?" asked Eliana.When Altair shook his head, Eliana began to speak:"Aculon won’t let us climb the tower together unless we reach the 30th floor. I reached the 10th floor on my own by climbing the tower. I didn’t clear Hell Difficulty, but I did clear Hard Difficulty.""What are you—" Altair had tried to speak, but Eliana stopped him and continued:"I am not strong, but I want to follow you from behind if I can not stand by your side.""What on earth is that supposed to mean?" Altair had muttered."Father told me before. I cannot be the Empress, not because I am younger than my elder brother, the First Prince or because I am a woman. It is because I do not have enough ambition. An Emperor or an Empress should have ambition for their people’s safety and happiness. Father always said I don’t have it,” Eliana replied.Immediately after

He had already realised they had a bloody past from Nyx’s reaction and the gravestones on the floor he had entered earlier, but everything was now beginning to get more complicated.At least, whilst they had remained at the top, they had managed to protect everyone and everything.It seemed this war was different from a simple political struggle.“So… they fought against each other, without using the other eleven empires?” Altair had asked.“Yes, sir. They used Dragons, Phoenixes, Qilins, Leviethans, Basilisks, Unicorns, Hydras and many mythical, mystical creatures. Their blood was special, after all. Among all the people inside the tower, they are purely immortal, just like elves. But they control all those creatures; they obey them, so there was no need for others to join the fight," the guard had replied.After these words, the young guard had shaken his head."They didn’t need anyone fighting for them. Some people did fight in their name, just because they wanted to, they really d

When Altair entered the area, he spotted the flying dinosaurs and immediately chose to hide.He could see the passage leading to the exit.He was right in the middle of the area.Looking down from above, there was a massive gate, perhaps ten metres wide, in this central area.Still, he could understand what was protecting him, or rather, what things were protecting him.The purpose of this level was not to fight, but to survive, and this very spot would be the final test of that survival.Altair had to be careful.He was fast.He had spells that could boost his speed to even greater heights, and an aura that could strengthen his legs.Although his aura was still very weak, it was at least a power he could still use, and that was enough for everything.The young man took a deep breath.He began surveying his surroundings as he passed through the areas of thicket, setting off through that region where he would be constantly on the move.The young man put on the Hypnos’s Glasses he’d tak

He had covered nearly six hundred metres since breaking into a run when Altair spotted something darting out from the far side of the woodland.Altair could see those predatory, hunting eyes watching him and shuddered inwardly.Even so, he didn’t pause for a single second, continuing to run straight ahead.There were plenty of rocky areas around.By weaving past the large boulders, he might be able to outmanoeuvre the mystical beast should it close in on him.Yet the Tyrannoraptor’s speed was increasing with every passing second.This Mystic Dinosaur Beast, with its four legs and strength many times greater than that of most dinosaurs, truly possessed an incredible ability to adapt.The young man could see the distance between them steadily closing. Although the mystical beast was nearly thirteen kilometres away, on the other side of the gate in the wooded area, he could see it approaching him much faster.It was a truly terrifying sight.Yet the young man did not stop.If necessary,

Altair was fending off the attacks coming his way one by one.Although the demons were clearly afraid, it was obvious they did not want to die here.Whilst two of them tried to attack from a distance, the remaining three were busy attempting to slash at Altair from the front with their swords.The young man was certainly not going to be weakened by such feeble attacks.Rather than fighting these weak creatures, he would have preferred to duel against dozens of Leonards. Even if he were to take a beating, at least he would learn something.It seemed Altair’s power had already surpassed that of the low-level demons many times over.This, of course, was to be expected.Altair held the Space Cutter carefully and practically hurled himself forward.Ignoring the three swords coming towards him, he used Hyper Charge once more to slip through the small opening and charged towards the two demons behind him.Before the demons could even draw the knives from their belts, both their heads had bee
