Chapter 50 Second floor!



50 Second floor!

Location: The maze of champions

Created by various legendary craftsmen to please their king, the movable maze of champions was where the bravest of warriors would go to complete numerous trials upon which the king would grant them a wish

However, after gaining the attention of the god Hephaestus the maze was then upgraded by him and used as a means of entertainment for the gods where they granted wishes to whoever completed the maze]

[Main Quest: successfully reach the end of the maze within 72 hours

Note: Hidden rooms and chests are scattered all through the maze however not all chest symbolizes treasure and every hidden room is one to be found

Sub Quest: Find the key hidden on the second floor

Total attempts: 3/3]

Reading the information for the next Quest, Ye Tian at this time had dressed up and got ready to continue his tower climb

However before that, he had something else he had to do before heading off

"Tower, open the community forum"

Swiping the transparent screen in front of him, Ye Tian suddenly had a great idea that might help him in his future plans

And for it to succeed, a new vest needed to be created Fortunately the community forum was just the opportunity he was looking for

[Entering community forum, would you like to use the current nickname devourer?]

[note you have only one opportunity to change it!]

Hearing this, Ye Tian had a smile on his face nove(l)bi(n.)com

"No! Change the name"

"My new name will be 'The one who knows everything' "

Creating a new name, Ye Tian also made a post on the traps and monsters to watch out for on the second floor titled 'second floor survival guide' after which he exited the forum not paying attention to what happens next

"Haha in the tower Devourer, on the forum 'the one who knows everything', on the outside world ordinary student Ye Tian"

"If this goes on I might need to have a book to keep note of all my identities"

Chuckling to himself Ye Tian picked up his spiral mask getting ready to attempt the next trial

Now that the bait had been cast, all he needed to do was wait for the fish to bite "tower, teleport me to the second floor!"

Signalling to the tower, Ye Tian's figure soon disappeared leaving the waiting room once again empty.

...........

[Tower of Trials second floor: The maze of Champions]

Reappearing in a beam of light, Ye Tian held his stomach as he stood somewhat unsteadily "Argh! I can never get used to this damn teleportation, why can't the tower have an elevator or something" Ye Tian grumbled

Fortunately the feeling wasn't too serious as he soon got his bearings back

"The axe of champions hunh, it's been a while"

"It has to be at least been over five hundred years since was last here, after all the lower floors stopped being interesting to me after I searched them over a few times"

Stepping on a certain part of the ground, a click sound suddenly sounded causing the whole maze to vibrate slightly "Damn! Trap!" Cursed Ye Tian Unfortunately cursing was the only thing he could do as the trap was already activated, what he needed to do instead was to survive 21:38

*Swoosh!*

*Swoosh!*

*Swoosh!*

Following the arrows activation, three arrows suddenly flew out of the distance aimed at Ye Tians eyes and heart respectively Fortunately while the trap may have been unexpected, but for the current Ye Tian dodging them was a piece of cake

"Haha is that all?"

Activating stone skin, Ye Tian didn't even bother to dodge as he let the arrows come in contact with his body

According to his thoughts, after making contact with the stone skin they would break further showcasing his strength to the audience [a certain god who loves war and madness yawns and says is that it?]

21:39

[a certain god who loves light and to sing sighs and asks the tower what is going on]

However things don't always go according to plan as different from what Ye Tian had imagined, the opposite happened "Arghhh!"

"Damn! My eyes!"

Rather than breaking off his skin, the three arrows penetrated directly into Ye Tian's body with zero resistance

Not only that, as soon as they made contact with his body, Ye Tian suddenly felt his whole body go weak

His breath became heavy and his limbs became numb

"Hah~ hah~"

"Damn! Poison!"

"It wasn't supposed to be like this, could it be that this floor was also interfered with?"

Gasping for breath, Ye Tian suddenly remembered what happened on the first floor with the lich and all

If his guess was correct, then these normal arrows have been somehow upgraded making it easy to pierce his defence so easily

Not only that, whatever that was on it must have been extremely potent as every second that passed Ye Tian felt himself getting weaker and weaker

"Damn! Am I going to die here?"

"Was I too cocky?"

"Was I too unprepared?"

Asking himself various questions, Ye Tians body movements began to become slower and slower [a certain one eyed god sighs at the difficulty of the trialist trial]

[a certain god who loves war and madness yawns and says is that it?]

[a certain god who loves light and to sing sighs and asks the tower what is going on]

Sadly this time the gods' questioning seemed to have no effect as the tower didn't respond

Even the Apollo who he seemed to be on Ye Tian's side since the last floor could only question the tower's fairness unable to interfere Looking at the current situation, it seemed that this might actually be the end of Ye Tian
