Chapter 1174 Eleventh Floor Boss - Part 5



The two Legend Rank knights met with The Queen of the Xevia Kingdom, and also the former king, Darlene's grandfather. The two Legend Rank Knights placed their heads on the ground, apologizing because they failed to rescue the princess.

"Don't worry about it, my daughter is safe but you have to go to the Knight Disciplinary office to receive your punishment after you answer my father's questions!" The Queen's voice was elegant, but it contained no emotion. The two Legend Rank knights could not tell whether the Queen was angry at them or not for failing to rescue the Princess.

"Yes, Your Highness!" The two knights replied at the same time.

"Get up. You will get your punishment later, so there's no need to lower your head like that," The former king told the two knights to stand up.

"No, Sir! We deserve this for failing to protect and rescue the princess," The two knights remained in the same positions.

ƥandasnovel·ƈom "Tch," The former king clicked his tongue and shook his head, "This is why I let your husband inherit the throne earlier. I don't like this stiff formality."

The Queen said nothing to the remark.

"It's uncomfortable to see a precious knight act like this, so let's make it fast. Tell me more about this Ying. My granddaughter told me that he's a reliable guy and that even a Demi-God Rank could not hurt her if she is with him, is that true?"

Darlene remained in contact with her family despite being in captivity. That was how her grandfather would know who kidnapped her granddaughter. From the message, she told him that Ying was a newbie, but a newbie that could rival a Demi-God Rank. That was ridiculous, especially when they were still on the Eleventh Floor. This piqued the former king's interest, hence he asked her daughter to summon the person in charge of the Ancient Rank Dimensional Tower.

"I can't confirm it, but there's indeed a rumor that Ying defeated the Demi-God Rank from a faction called the Mistovel Family. But that was just a rumor, and I can say that rumor is quite exaggerated. Not only did Ying defeat the Demi-God Rank, but he pushed the God Ranks of the Mistovel Family to retreat. While we confirm the God Rank's appearance because of the rift, we can't be sure if the rumor was true."

The two knights then told the story about Ying and the Karian Adventurer Guild. The previous rank and the current rank. The two told the former king in detail about Ying. Of course, that was limited to what they knew about Ying.

"Hehe…" Darlene's grandfather let out a small laugh, "This is interesting." He stood from the chair, "You can leave now!"

The two knights paid respect to the Queen and the former king once more before leaving the room.

"There's no need to ask your husband to send the elite knight. Don't worry, my daughter Annika, I will go to pick up my mischievous granddaughter myself. You can wait at ease at home."

*** ***I think you should take a look at

There was one last trial to reach God Rank, but it was a completely different trial than the beforehand trial. The right word might be a battle, not a trial. One had to face a last battle to reach the God Rank, and it was called Astral Battle.

The System was quite psycho to pit one Demi-God Rank against another Demi-God Rank. That was what Astral Battle meant, fighting to the death against the other Demi-God Ranks. The winner would get God Shard, and one needed ten God Shards to reach God Rank. That was the condition to reach God's Rank, a death trial.

Darlene said the System was quite "lenient" because the System gave them three lives and three chances. They would be revived for the first two deaths, but it would be an eternal death for the third death. She told him that her grandfather had collected nineteen God Shards. That was why she said her grandfather could advance to God Rank anytime.

Tang Shaoyang asked why her grandfather collected nineteen God Shards when her grandfather just needed ten God Shards to advance to the God Rank. That was quite puzzling, why would her grandfather risk his life to gather nineteen shards?

Unfortunately, Darlene did not know the reason, but she told him that her grandfather had died twice in the Astral Battle. Her grandfather had used all the two lives that System gave him.

Hearing those stories, Tang Shaoyang had an idea in his head, "What if I steal someone else's shards? Can I still advance to God Ranks with those stolen shards?" Unfortunately, Darlene did not know much more than the requirement to reach God Ranks. It seemed her grandfather did not tell her the details about the God Rank. However, Tang Shaoyang was satisfied with the newly acquired information.

There was no level requirement to enter Astral Battle. As long as one was Demi-God Rank, anyone could participate in the Astral Battle. However, he could understand why people would delay the Astral Battle and stay in Demi-God Rank for a while.

'I have to obtain more classes and more talents to prepare for the Astral Battle… How do I obtain more classes and talents? I need to go to a different world,' He remembered he got Slayer Class during his Survival Game that sent him to another world. 

'Does that mean I need to go to a new world? Ah, I have a random portal that will connect two different worlds. But that's too risky… I have access to that world, but that world will also gain access to my world. I need a lot of preparation to activate the random portal.'

Tang Shaoyang subconsciously planned for what would come in the future.

Meanwhile, the trip to the boss floor took some time. It took them three days to reach the destination, and that was because they had to match the Helion Wolf's speed.

"We have arrived," Tang Shaoyang stopped in front of a massive gate. The gate was twenty meters tall and fifteen meters long, made of black stone. The gate was clearly a portal, meaning the boss floor beyond this portal.

The Princess was quite excited about the fight against the boss floor, moving around, and observing the gate. After a while, she then looked toward Tang Shaoyang, "Where's your party? When will you raid the boss?"

"We are all here, and we will fight the boss right now."
