Although the hunting knife was of excellent quality, it hadn't pierced his neck at first. Still, Altair wasn't going to stop there.
Again and again, without pause, he had plunged the hunting knife into the troll's neck, into the same spot, nearly fifteen times.
Within a short time, these efforts, this struggle, had been successful.
"UUUUUUGGGG..."
The troll did not scream in pain. Instead, a strange howl, a whimper spread around, and the troll fell forward onto the ground.
Altair rolled on the ground to avoid injury and, without stopping, got up and pulled the hunting knife out of the troll's neck.
[Congratulations!
User has levelled up to level "three"! You have gained 5 status points! Each status point gained in the Tutorial will be distributed randomly. User has gained "1" strength and "4" agility status points.]Although Altair saw this system window and could directly perceive the development in his body, he really had no time to spare for this.
He took immediate action.
He pulled the sword from the leg of the troll, which had died in a second, and advanced towards another troll without stopping.
Perhaps it was because he could kill a troll on his own that he had this courage, but one thing was clear:
His actions were emboldening everyone else.
By the time Altair reached the back of the other troll he was attacking, he had already seen six trolls fall to the ground, and he smiled, happy that everything was going so smoothly.
In a short time, he had repeatedly struck the neck of the troll, trying to reach him in the same way, and in the end, he had truly succeeded in what he had set out to do.
After killing another troll, Altair looked around and saw that every troll was on the ground, each one seemingly cut down by a sword.
"We're close to the centre. If we run, we can do what you said before the monsters from the other fronts reach us, Mr Hunter," the leader of the soldiers said suddenly.
Altair shook his head and said, "Let's go."
The running started again.
Each step felt like another step towards complete annihilation. Monsters from all four corners of the city had now begun advancing directly towards the centre, towards the area where the statue stood.
The rest were busy levelling the city to the ground.
As Altair approached the city centre, he could see Nyx's statue much more clearly.
The statue... was truly beautiful.
It had jet-black hair covered with stars that looked as if they had been placed there by the Creator himself, glowing purple eyes, a long black dress, and facial features so beautiful they could be described as perfect.
Nyx... was like a masterpiece.
Still, that wasn't the only thing Altair saw.
When the young man looked at this statue, he saw it glowing jet black, but he could see that one part, the statue's left eye, was covered in a greater darkness, blackness itself.
"Godly?" thought the young man.
Apparently, the essence was entirely in the left eye of the Nyx Statue.
Altair had managed to reach his target quickly, without encountering too many monsters.
Or rather... he almost had.
As he approached the centre, he could see many monsters in the area, but one was particularly striking.
The young man saw this monster fighting an old man wearing a long robe.
It was a monster with sharp claws, red hair, and what looked like scales, but that wasn't what caught Altair's attention.
[Fiarka (Low-Demon - Level 42)]
This was a level of power so immense that Altair couldn't even imagine it at that moment.
The young man had suddenly frozen in place, even though monsters were truly coming from all sides. His whole body was trembling. This time, it was truly out of fear, and of course, for good reason.
"Level... 42?" Altair muttered.
If there was one thing he knew about the tower, it was that monsters' levels reset after a certain threshold.
So this strange-looking 'demon' might have been a small wolf or a lizard man before reaching this threshold.
Meaning it had managed to continuously evolve its own race and become a low demon.
How many levels had it skipped? How many times had it changed species and managed to increase its power?
There was no way Altair could do anything to this monster.
So the young man started running directly towards the statue.
He passed through the monsters, trying to push some of them to the ground even though he was not at a level where he could kill them.
Still, he eventually managed to reach the status.
The colour itself, burning with these pitch-black lights, completely captivated his gaze.
The young man had walked to the back of the statue and noticed an entrance there. Still, the entrance was locked. He realised that someone was watching him from the large area on the other side of the statue.
When the young man focused his eyes precisely there, he could see that it was a church.
Above the church was a moon, and around that moon were twelve stars connected to it.
"Nyx's church?" Altair said to himself.
It wasn't hard to see that the people watching him were wounded priests and priestesses, but another woman was standing among them.
A woman shining brightly.
Altair pointed directly at Nyx's status, trying to explain what had happened to them only with his gestures.
Although the priests and nuns couldn't understand what was going on, this shining woman standing among them suddenly stepped forward.
Despite being incredibly wounded, the woman had descended the stairs leading to the church one by one and managed to reach Altair.
"The moment my eyes saw you, I recognised the purity of your soul. Did the goddess send you?" the woman inquired.
Altair swallowed and could only manage to shake his head.
Even if he was lying by using Nyx's name, he had to achieve this status no matter what.
Everything depended on it.

"Perish," said the entity, and began to lunge forward.At that moment, Altair spoke:"Exile!"As soon as Altair managed to utter the name of the skill he had barely summoned, several chains covered in blue flames emerged from the temple’s floor and ceiling, seizing the entity and flinging it away from Altair.“What is this magic?” the entity muttered. It tried to move but could not.“Cough! Cough! Cough!”Before Altair could even reply, he coughed repeatedly. His throat was in excruciating pain.The entity had not killed him outright. Someone that powerful could have killed him simply by squeezing his neck.He was lucky."It is the shackles that imprisoned Prometheus. Where I came from, he was one of the gods most loved by humanity. Well... past humans."When Altair replied, the entity looked at him intently and said, "Never heard of him," then tried to move.Although the chains were straining and making a noise, they wouldn’t budge.As the blue flames wrapping the chains began to cre
Great Evil
By the time Altair had finished reading each page, he felt so sick that he couldn’t hold it in and vomited several handfuls from the podium.Aether and the others couldn’t make sense of what was happening.[What happened? Are you alright?] Aether asked, the message filled with both curiosity and fear.The young man looked at the message window with tears in his eyes and then asked, “Didn’t you see?”[See… what?]Altair paused when he heard this question.Throughout the time he had spent reading those six pages, he had seen it all. He had lived through everything written on those pages.People being sacrificed, harassment and rape, how others were tortured, children, women and men being mercilessly killed.He had seen it all.Yet he couldn’t stop himself.It was as if he had to read those pages.He was as if in a trance.But how had this happened?He possessed the Unparalleled Mind ability.Something like this, be it a spell or whatever it was, shouldn’t have worked on him.The Moon an
How Nice...
The young man began to move forward with simple, calm and very careful steps.The surroundings really did look like the interior of a normal, low-ranking god’s temple.Simple statues, a few portraits... in short, apart from a few works of art, there was nothing else to be seen.Yet everything was tattered and broken.This place was very old, almost like an ancient region.After walking a little further, Altair came to a podium. On this podium stood a prayer table, and on that table lay a book.The writing on the book’s cover had been erased... no, it seemed to have been scraped away with a knife.Altair was worried.He knew this was truly bad news, yet his curiosity was beginning to grow.He approached the book and, as he did so, noticed something was pushing him towards it with increasing force.He wasn’t losing his mind, but it felt as though something was calling to him.When the young man finally touched the book, something he hadn’t expected at all happened.The book... had turne

Altair had given orders to each of the slave guards under his command... that is, to the guards.Ever since he’d heard that their slavery contracts had been abolished, he’d been feeling a bit odd. He hadn’t even known how to address them; it had taken him a long time to get used to other things.According to the orders he had given, they were to continue climbing the tower and grow stronger in the process.Altair had wanted them to enter the tower in two groups of eighteen or as a single group of thirty-six.They had chosen to enter as a single large group and had thus reached the forty-first floor.Altair, however, had assigned someone to handle every task that could be carried out automatically and had eventually reached the twenty-first floor.The floor he had entered was different.It was an... arena.Yet it wasn’t like any arena he had entered before.It was bigger.It was a MUCH more colossal arena.There was no one around, that is, no one watching him inside the arena.Neverthe
You Did Good, Kid
By the time Altair reached one of the dining halls, he had ordered a few cuts of meat.He really didn’t want to eat anything other than meat.Whilst he was waiting for his meat, word that he had already woken up had spread throughout the palace.Arthur and Slyvie really weren’t leaving him alone.The pair were waiting right behind where he was sitting.No matter what the young man did, he couldn’t get them to sit down, and in the end, he had given up.Altair’s order had arrived shortly afterwards, and just as the young man was about to start eating, the dining hall doors burst open.Aurelion, Eve and Ilyana had entered.All three looked as though they were sweating.It was obvious they had run here.Altair had placed the fork in his hand back on his plate. He was well aware that from this moment on, he was in for a terrible telling-off.And so it was.For a full ten minutes, without a break, the young man had been scolded in front of all the servants and guards by the Emperor of the E
It Happened Already
Altair had listened carefully to what had happened over the past month and had managed to find out how the war had ended.The Empire’s powerful mages were still trying to clear the eighty-third floor, which was why he had been curious to know exactly how the war had ended.It was truly a miracle that the mage near the 32nd Noble House had managed to escape.In the end, everything had turned out well.Although...No matter which way you looked at these events, you were looking at something terrible.After all, tens of millions had died in a single explosion.The eastern district was the least populated area of the city. That was why so few people had died.Although ‘tens of millions’ was by no means a small number.That was the reality when you considered the total population within the city.The young man had returned to his bed and lain down, as his body was still aching.At the same time, he had muttered, “How is it going, Aether?”He had told Arthur and Slyvie not to let anyone int
