After two hours of fighting, Axel and Kevin, in agreement, chose not to kill the new holographic creatures that appeared because there was still an hour left and they were already both at their limit.
Kevin had just used his Stage 3 and had brought Axel under the protection of his Chains of Restraint so that they could both rest a little.
Willow had been worried when she saw that her daddies were covered in wounds, but once they joined her, they both drank a legendary grade healing potion and their wounds were already visibly healing.
Kevin and Axel stayed like this for a good 10 minutes, and when they felt that they were back in top of their physical condition, Axel went back to fight the holographic Gods, who were now at God level 10, with Kevin's shadows.
As for Kevin, he stayed with Willow and used spells to help Axel as much as he could, especially to prevent him from being expelled from the tower.
A game of cat and mouse ensued, and fortunately Axel's speed was unbeatable. Kevin told him to train now to avoid their attacks and to use his speed to see if he could shake them off.
Axel couldn't shake them off, but his speed was enough to allow him to dodge several of their attacks, and occasionally he would counterattack when he saw an opening.
The remaining 50 minutes passed extremely quickly, and Axel returned to safety, under Kevin's Chains of Restraint, 10 minutes before the countdown ended. He was mentally exhausted, and even Ashton's remedy for mental fatigue was no longer enough for him to be able to continue to fight.
It was by far the best training they had all done, and without Kevin's Chains of Restraint, they would never have been able to hold out until the end of this ordeal.
The most surprising thing was that the holographic Gods they had faced, after Kevin had killed several of them with the sacred fire energy, became immune to this attack, and they had to constantly change tactics and weapons to kill them.
When the 3 hours were over, the holographic creatures immediately disappeared, and Kevin ordered his Necromancer and General Wizard to recall their army, and once only his 3 shadows remained, he canceled his spell and they disappeared as well.
- 10 kg of Cantium
- 6 training towers, 3 identical to this one, and 3 more powerful ones (few resources and the agreement of the owner of the world in which you wish to implant them will be necessary)]
Axel, who had also read Kevin's system message, couldn't believe his eyes either, and even the applause and cheers from the Black Elves who had gathered at the base of the tower to cheer them on didn't snap him out of his stupor.
It took Willow asking them what was going on for Kevin and Axel to come back to their senses.
After thanking the Black Elves for their support and taking the time to answer their questions about the 10th level of the tower, Kevin and Axel found themselves alone again with Willow, Sora, Solomon, Lena, Atlas, Maya, and Peter.
Since Kevin's system was not a secret, they informed them about the rewards they had just received, and Kevin even gave the 5 Divine grade magic crystals to Maya because Elias and Miguel had a whole stock of them, as did Mykael.
Kevin then conjured up some Cantium in his hand, and Maya after examined it, confirmed that it was indeed the ore used to build these training towers.
And now that their mission was finally over, they could all return to their world to continue to train. But before leaving, Kevin renewed the invitation he had extended to the Black Elves, Angels, and Paladins to join them in the fight against the Titans and Lilith's army.
There was no obligation, but the more allies they had, the less risk there would be of losing this ultimate battle that would decide the future of their universe.
Maya and Peter told them that they could count on them and that they would try to convince as many powerful people as possible to participate in this war.
Their world owed a huge debt to Miguel and the Warrior Spirits, and Kevin and Axel were the ones who had saved both of them. Their daughters also owed a debt to them, so of course they would do everything they could to repay this debt.
Furthermore, this battle would also allow them to seek revenge on Lilith and the evil she had spread in their world through Sliman.
