Chapter 92: The Assassin
The woman's mouth twitched at first, then she smiled."It worked on you earlier when Kitsura approached," she told him.Kitsura smiled upon hearing it. Small again, but real.She sat regardless."Name?" Erwin asked, staring at her with a poker face."Derin. And before you ask," Derin added, digging her spoon into her plate, "no, Gutra isn't with me.""Didn't seem like that to me," Erwin responded immediately, still looking at her.Derin froze with her spoon standing upright in her plate, then looked straight at him and said, "In that case, I want to be your ally too.""What do you say, Erwin Veridian?"Erwin paused for a moment, then responded flatly, "No."She froze again, then smirked, took a spoonful of her food into her mouth, and stood up.She said nothing else. She simply left with her bowl still on the table, barely touched."What do you think, Fernando? Do you suppose she is one of those plotting against me?"Fernando, who had been quiet throughout their conversation, responde

"I need this seat," she sat regardless."Name?" Erwin asked, staring at her with a poker face."Derin.

She simply left with her bowl still on the table, barely touched."What do you think, Fernando? Do you suppose she is one of those plotting against me?"Fernando, who had been quiet throughout their conversation, responded with one of the most serious expressions Erwin had ever seen on him."I know with certainty it was a trap. And I don't think you've escaped that trap jus
Chapter 90: Essence Energy Pool Increase
The notifications did not stop.They kept coming. Stacking up and stacking up.They kept filling his vision until the entire chamber was a blur behind blue-edged rectangles and neat lines of private information only he could see.[Congratulations][You have killed a grade 4 beast: Lightless Crawler ×1][Reward: 100 Essence Energy][Beast crystal has been teleported to your Space][Congratulations][You have killed a grade 5 beast: Rustspore Beetle ×1][Reward: 10 Essence Energy][Beast crystal has been teleported to your Space][Congratulations][You have killed a grade 5 beast: Rustspore Beetle ×1][Reward: 10 Essence Energy][Beast crystal has been teleported to your Space]And on.And on.And on.It became ridiculous so quickly that Erwin stopped reading until it got to the last one.[Kill notifications condensed][Additional beast kills registered][Total Rustspore Beetle kills credited: 14][Total Lightless Crawler kills credited: 1][Total beast crystals transferred to Space: 15
Chapter 89: The Reward For Killing Beasts
The mistake most people would have made was trying to use power through the erasure pulse, but Erwin didn't.The moment the crawler's antennae folded back and fired it's ability, he started counting. 'One.'He kicked the first beetle out of the air instead of cutting it with his blade, applying his full strength for the first time in the battle.The creature was smashed so hard that the air rippled while it zoomed away and struck the wall, bursting into a pulp of green blood.'Two.'Kitsura copied Erwin's action and did the same instantly. Her boot caught another beetle and sent it into a cluster of three behind.She wasn't as powerful obviously, but her attack wasn't weak either. They were both Ascendants after all, with skin as hard as rock and strength enough to punch through reinforced metal doors.'Three.'The Anomaly Erasure faded off that moment, and Erwin felt his abilities returning."Kitsura, again!" he barked, and she obeyed instantly.Sound Anomaly: Midnight SilenceSilenc
Chapter 88: The Two Beasts Kind
A few hours literally flashed by, and then he was teleported. He landed inside a stone square so small that his face twitched.It was only twenty feet by twenty feet wide, with one door and a low ceiling.And directly across from him—Kitsura.She hit the floor on one knee, looked up, saw him, and closed her eyes once like a woman accepting the worst fate. "Of course it's you."Erwin rubbed the back of his head with a forced grin. "Am I that bad?""No." She rose. "Just irritating."Before he could answer, the regular voice filled the chamber and, no doubt, every other chamber in the ring.*"You are now on Floor Twenty-Two: The Exchange."**"You must survive your chamber and neutralize the assigned threat."**"Participants are paired randomly."**"One participant death equals team disqualification."**"Chambers will unseal when the chamber threat is neutralized."*"*"May the cosmos favour the worthy."*The voice vanished, and moments later, the far wall moved—more audibly than visibly—
Chapter 87: The Exchange Trial
Erwin spent the first hour of rest pretending he was going to sleep. The tower had already given him a sealed recovery chamber that would clearly be his permanent residence for the entire Ascendant bracket trials, so he lay down on his bed and closed his eyes. Six minutes later, he opened them and stared at the ceiling. Brokk had turned to dust in front of Fernando. Veyr had screamed with one leg missing. Sarvek had disappeared so completely that his mind kept trying to disagree and kept trying to place him somewhere else in the scene. Too bad it was his delusion, and too bad he was well aware of that with clarity. Kaladian had told him to stay alive until Floor Twenty-Four. Even though he had managed to distract himself from thinking about that, the silence of his room was forcing his imagination in. And those imaginations were all terrible scenarios. "You are bad at resting," Einstein observed from the table. "You are bad at being helpful." "I wasn't trying to be helpful.
