The Sword Saint had found himself in a lesson with quite a difficulty. To face a superior foe was nothing new to him. Throughout his life before the system, he had fought many people superior to himself as he got better and better. Oftentimes, he also met those who simply had a stronger physique, making their speed and power higher than his own. Even so, he had risen to become one of the most talented swordsmen in the entire world, even before the system. With his many years of continued practice, even as…-

Blood flew into the air as Jake managed to slice the neck of Minaga, making him stumble back. His one arm already hung limply at his side as he tried to retaliate with the other using a blast of fire, but Jake dodged under it and stabbed Minaga in the arm. A final eruption of power sent Jake stumbling back as a rain of lightning bolts struck him, making his entire body tingle from the impact and his scales crackle with energy. Minaga himself looked spent as he stood there, leaning on his staff. Jake…

Thousands of lasers the width of a pencil spun around the room, cutting through it at intense speed and power. Every single person in Jake’s party summoned their best defenses or tried to dodge, as Sylphie turned her entire body into wind to resist most of the damage. The Fallen King intensified the energy in his shield as best he could, and Dina jumped back as walls of roots continuously rose in front of her to try and block the attack, layer after layer getting burned through. On the side of the Sword…

The very next second, the orb of steam above Minaga exploded, bathing the entire room in dense white fog. What’s more, this steam had some of the concepts from the mist in the labyrinths infused into it, meaning that within a second, he had severely limited the sense of everyone. Well, everyone except Jake, that is. With his Mark of the Avaricious Hunter and Perception, he was pretty much unaffected, considering the size of the room. Minaga was about to strike again as a stable arcane arrow pierced…

Minaga had been pretty honest from the get-go when he talked about the floors after his city floor. They had indeed just been the same setup over and over again, with ever-increasing difficulty. The difficulty actually reached a level where Jake and the others had to get serious, especially in the final room of each floor, where at least one of the hardest options was hard-coded to always include a boss. At least Jake assumed it hard hard-coded as it was like that every time, and Minaga never denied that…

The rest of the thirty-sixth floor proved relatively trivial as Jake and company soon completed the entire thing and entered the in-between room. There had indeed only been six rooms and their accompanying labyrinths, but when they arrived at the break room, he was a bit disappointed at seeing they had only managed to get three achievements along with the usual completion bonus. At least he was disappointed until he saw the achievements in question. That was a whopping 2250 Nevermore Points from…

After the fun bantering with Minaga, they arrived at room number four, and finally, the difficulty seemed to have increased. At least it said this would be hard. As they were still following Minaga’s advice of never picking anything that wasn’t of the highest difficulty, the only choice was between Random and Traps. Jake considered for a second, but his gut didn’t really tell him one was better than the other. Maybe because both would be easy for him. “I guess,” Jake shrugged as he turned to…

A labyrinth was a labyrinth, no big way to really change that. Minaga hadn’t tried either, as they once more found themselves walking through winding hallways of mist, following after Jake, who had a nice mental map in his head. The difference this time around was that there was a ”correct” way right off the bat, with no rooms or anything to look for. Instead, they just had to pass through a pretty big labyrinth to reach a gate at the end, but based on how long it would take to reach the gate, this…

Jake analyzed the structure as he noticed several errors in it. This structure in question looked like a large square building, at least twenty stories tall and made of pure mana. It was hardened and reminiscent of Jake’s stable arcane mana, but it was indeed just pure mana formed into a shape and then compressed and strengthened through formations. His job was to bring the structural integrity up to a certain level but to do that, he had to address flaws embedded within the structure. Not just on the…

Jake was left alone in the meeting room, pondering his conversation with that absolute madman, Eron. Some rules of the system were known to be absolute… and the line between mortality and immortality was one of them. It was a fundamental law for a reason and one that had never been broken in the history of the multiverse, as far as Jake knew. At least… as for as he knew before his meeting with Eron. Because the other Bloodline Patriarch had shared that a long time ago, one individual had broken this…
