Chapter 447 Reaching The Final Floor

"Phew." The dark copy said as he fell down to his knees.

"He managed to keep control, didn't think he had it in him for a moment there." The copy said again as he lied down and started floating on the sea of lightning. The light and darkness both shrouded him, but there was for some reason a lot more light compared to darkness.

"So, I passed?" Reign asked the two men who were looking at him with surprised expressions.

"Yup." The blonde man said as he looked at Reign. He was suddenly a lot more intrigued by the boy compared to before, so much so that he even considered asking Drayce to put him in more of his hidden tasks.

As Reign and the others got teleported out, Drayce turned to the blonde man who immediately told him what he thought.

"Oh, you, you want to be in more of this?" Drayce said with amusement as he stared at the blonde man.

"Who was it that begged me to let him rest and not work during my stay here?" Drayce asked the man with a smirk as the latter scoffed.

"Stop, you know that this will make it easier for you as well, I originally didn't want to be put to work in such a boring little planet, who would have thought that it would end up like this, ah, the carnage that will take place, the slaughter that those kids will commit in order to Transcendt, it makes me truly wonder about the future." The man said with an elated expression on his face.

"Don't get too excited, you know how much resources I had to use in order to make you a physical body again, you're just a Transcendent now, your master is gone, presumed dead and you have nobody to rely on except for me, so don't make things difficult for me, Eigol." Drayce's words struck a chord with Eigol as the latter's demeanor changed.

"I know, you don't need to remind me, to think a day would exist when I would have to go through all the trials and tribulations again, damn, even reaching the Transcendent level was a bit harder than my previous time."

"Times have changed, you were once one of the generals underneath that man, a being that was in the Supreme level and was respected and feared by many, but after what happened, it was only thanks to me finding your soul container that you were brought back to life, you owe me, remember your promise," Drayce said as Eigol yawned.

"For the love of … I'm not going to go back on my promise, as I have said until you reach the realm of Supreme, I will follow you, but don't you forget your promise either little Drayce, you must climb the ladder of your organization and find out what exactly happened that day, I must know what happened to my master, and my comrades."

Eigol's whole demeanor and body changed, his eyes turned blood red, his nails suddenly became longer and two fangs could be seen sticking out from his mouth.

"Damn it, I got a bit too excited, it must be all the blood and corpses," Eigol said as he closed his eyes, his nails and fangs retracted slowly as his eyes were back to their usual, sky blue color.

"I would've thought you would be able to control that perfectly by now."

"Hmph, my lord's bloodline is not something so easily controlled, except for him, nobody amongst us had ever managed to fully grasp and control it," Eigol said with a scoff as he stared at Drayce.

"So, what do you say?"

"Well, I don't mind giving you more stuff to do, but you have to be careful, I don't want you causing mayhem for the players on this planet."

"So, the Alliance is monitoring it closely?"

"Well yes, but that's not the part that worries me, The Immortal has put a claim on it."

"He has done what?!" Eigol suddenly came closer to Drayce and stared at him in shock.

"Yes, he put a claim out."

"A claim, but why, the boy is talented for sure, but to put a claim over a planet because of one person, no, there is definitely more going on, that guy isn't dumb, he wouldn't do anything unnecessary, what could it be?" Eigol suddenly started whispering to himself as Drayce looked at him with amusement.

He was also confused, as were all the higher-ups of the Alliance. The Immortal usually kept to himself, he cared little about the war that was taking place between The Alliance and The Dark Ones.

He was a senior to the leaders of the two organizations and commanded great respect in the entire universe. It wasn't unheard of for him to claim a planet, but he would usually do so to those that hadn't been found by any organizations, never did he do something like this.

"I know, even though Reign is talented, he alone is definitely not enough to make that person do something like this, there has to-" Drayce suddenly stopped talking as Eigol stared at him intensely.

"What, why are you looking at me like that?"

"What did you say his name was?"

"Who, Reign?"

"Reign, so that's his name, and his true name, did he get one already?"

"That's the weird thing, the Oracle herself gave him his true name, but it's the same one he had before, she's as confused as we are."

"I see, so that's how it is, to think something like that would … ah, it doesn't even matter, I have to regain my power before I can think about anything." Eigol suddenly started speaking before looking at Drayce for one last time.

"Listen Drayce, don't get too close to those guys, but don't ignore them either, before I figure out what exactly is going on, just, well, just continue doing what you were doing, no need to change anything," Eigol said as he turned around and suddenly left the area.

"Since that's it for this test, I'll be taking my leave first." His voice echoed inside the floor as Drayce looked at the sky above him.

"Just what the hell is going on?"

​ As for Reign in the others, they were teleported to a floor that was similar to the first one. One could see giant blocks floating around, but also giant platforms, the size of football stadiums floating in the sky.

The floor was many times larger than the first floor. The most significant difference was the greenery and trees that could be seen on the platforms, blocks, and even on the walls of the floor. Water could be seen coming out of the walls at multiple locations, creating a spectacular sight as it rushed down to the ground or platforms and created lakes and rivers.

"Reign, about what happened there, are you alright?" Shadow asked Reign with concern as the others all looked at him.

Mia and the angels were the ones that seemed to be the most worried, they had never seen that form of Reign before. The different look, the evil aura, and the powerful mana that they felt when Reign transformed was something that shook them heavily.

Reign was thankfully able to take control over his body and powers, which was mostly thanks to Eigol who had dispelled the formation that was used to test them. Without the formation working and forcing Reign to go all out, he was able to calm down and take control of his body and powers.

If the test had continued, and the formation was allowed to pressure Reign, even more, it was unknown what would have happened, Reign might have not been able to control himself.

"Yeah, it was the test, it brought out everything I had, including that form, but it wasn't as bad as the first time, this time I was calm and knew what was happening, when the formation was dispelled I was able to regain control quite easily, I think I might have been able to control myself for a while even with the formation working too," Reign reassured Shadow and the others with a calm expression.

He had learned his lesson the first time and knew that he couldn't simply allow his power to let loose. The formation drawing out that form was completely unexpected and blindsided him, allowing it to quickly come out.

"Alright, so what do we do here?" Tank asked as he looked around them.

"This is the last floor." Suddenly Drayce appeared behind them and said.

"Drayce?"

"It's quite simple, you just need to go up, there will be dangers to overcome, monsters to fight, and perhaps you might run into the previous two teams, but the goal of this final floor is quite simple, simply go up and reach the top, be careful though, it's quite tall," Drayce said before waving at them and disappearing.

"No way it's that simple." Shadow scoffed as the others all nodded in agreement. If it was simply climbing up, there shouldn't have been any reason for Drayce to tell them that the previous two teams would probably fail, there would definitely be multiple things that would try to stop them.

"So, shall we?"
