The Spiritual Painting System is complex and simple.

Although there were many rules listed in the 'Guide to Applying,' the larger context was ultimately organized into five statements.

First, the paint is made of a total of a hundred layers, ranging from one floor to 100 floors.

Second, even if you lose the stamp, you will not die, but are forced to be summoned out of the stamp.

Third, you can challenge up to three people to the stamp and the difficulty will increase in proportion to the number of people.

Fourth, on the 15th, 30th, 50th, 70th, and 99th floors you have to deal with the painter, and if you win, you will get a Transcendent Equipment Box. In addition, it is possible to start from the top floor of the corresponding floor when re-conducting.

Fifth, when you challenge other challengers to a duel on the challenging floor, you will fight those challengers first.

As time passed, Ian remembered all these rules in his head, so he was able to move straight away without hesitation.

And Ian, who entered the seal of the Spirit, immediately entered the 16th floor according to the above rules.

-Search for user "Ian" 's challenge record.

- Number of challenges: 1 time

- Max Clear Stage: 15th Floor

- Current Clear Ranking (Global): 1304th Place

You have won against the conduits on the 15th floor, allowing entry to the 16th floor.

- Enter the Spirit's Seal on the 16th floor.

However, as he entered the seal, Ian had only one question.

‘When I think about it, I think the reward for defeating the seal killer was set... …. Did that reward ever change? ’

When Ian defeated the painter on the floor he was supposed to remember, the reward he could get was set as a "Transcendent Equipment Box."

The first clear run to the 15th floor to get two crates of equipment at that time is the only way to remember it clearly.

‘Sharon said if you clear 30 floors, you'll get a decent subpoena. What concept is that? Some kind of extra reward? ’

Ian looks over his head, thinking about assumptions like this.

But his thoughts didn't last very long.

It's not a difficult level to clear anyway.You can check it out yourself.

‘It's better to clear your head quickly and check with your own eyes. ’

Shh-shh-shh!

Ian climbs on Iron's back and grabs his spear tightly, facing the conduit on the 16th floor.

The other summoners didn't have to.

In fact, I was confident that I would break through to the 30th floor without needing Iron, but I only summoned Iron to clear it as quickly as I could.

“Let's go, Iron...! ”

- Khhhhhhh!

And at almost the same time as the battle began…….

- Tyring!

- You won against a trainee!

- You have successfully completed the Spirit's Seal 16 floors.

- You won the 'Essence of Medium Fire’ item.

- You won the 'Essence of Intermediate Lightning' item.

- You got 5 hero points.

The new NPC of the trainee pierced by Ian's spear disappeared into the air like a mirage, and then the familiar system messages blurted out.

The British server's wizard ranker Jamie has been tightly grinding to get on the spirit seal for days.

In order to complete the Hidden Quest in progress, you will need to target Horus Outpost at the foot of Mount Spirits, since you do not have enough specs to enter it.

Despite her transcendent 28 levels, she was a wizard of the highest ranks in the world, but the contents of the Spirit Mountain were nevertheless unequal.

Parties that were 20 levels behind transcendent, including her, had to retreat without even attacking the first base properly.

Specs were also a way to increase transcendent levels, of course, but now Jamie and the party members were tasked with changing equipment first.

Because transcendent equipment is so hard to find, all the equipment they've been wearing so far has been used since the transcendental 10th grade.

"We must clear the 30th floor to receive the equipment crate. The Transcendent Gear Crate on the 30th floor should be able to significantly increase our combat strength." ’

Thus, the three party members, including Jamie, began to break through the late 20th floor of the Spirit's stamp with an arduous repetitive challenge.

When clearing the Common Floor, it was fun to sell the essences and Hero Points to collect the money of the Spirit System, Astor.

“Yes, Jamie! Two more floors to go! ”

“Khh! Jamie, I knew it. If it hadn't been for Jamie Shield in the end, it would have been wiped out again. ”

“Haha, you're welcome. They were very good, and they were able to win. ”

“We just need to get through the 29th floor to the 30th floor. Sounds promising. ”

“Yes, just five minutes, and then we'll try the 29th floor. ”

Whether it's a sense of accomplishment or not, Jamie's group is in a fighting mood.

“Actually, I don't think 30 floors will be difficult once we get through 29 floors. ”

“Why is that? ”

“I know that the German server's twin rankers Sarah and Vanessa are parked on the 30th floor right now, but they're both powerful rankers, so I've been looking for ways to retaliate. ”

“Oh, Jamie! ”

“It might be easier on the 30th floor than on the 29th floor, so let's give it a little more strength. ”

“Great!”

The three of them started repairing, encouraging each other, and soon they were able to finish repairing.

But by the time I finished repairing quickly,

Whoo-hoo!

There was a bad variable that they didn't want to think about.

The space behind them resonated and someone's shadow appeared in the waiting room.

And Jamie's group finds him, looking nervous for a moment.

Meeting this other team at the Spirit's Stamp was a very sensitive situation.

‘Dammit. Is this going to start a fight again? ’

If you challenge one another first, you can slip down to the team that was waiting behind you, so you get into a conscious fight to not challenge each other first.

But soon after, Jamie's group realizes that their worries were worthless.

Bloop-!

The mysterious man who came through the 28th floor into the waiting room went straight into the 29th floor without caring about Jamie's group in the waiting room.

“Huh...? ”

The three people who were so embarrassed, and at the same time became dumbfounded.

“What the hell is that guy? ”

“You broke into the 28th floor by yourself, not a party? ”

In fact, what they were embarrassed about, it was very natural.

Now that we knew that the highest seal of the standard spirit was about the mid-30th floor, it must have been frightening for anyone to break through to the 28th floor through solo play.

Of course, it was true that the difficulty of the Gateway went up the more challenging there were, but it was much easier for the three of them to attack than to attack alone.

And their surprise didn't end there.

“Wow, who could that be? No matter how many rankers fly, this is shocking, isn't it? ”

“Plus, seeing you jump directly to the 29th floor without maintenance, the 28th floor must have been so easily cleared... …. ”

“Even so, we've just been ignored. ”

“Right. Normally I'd be bothered if someone was in the waiting room, and I'd look around and just go away. ”

The man who just passed by clearly checked that a team was in the waiting room, but without even saying anything about it, he headed straight to the 29th floor.

No matter how confident you are, it's normal to ask someone in the waiting room to challenge you in a few minutes.

Especially when you're playing solo like that.

“Who are you really? Even if Ian comes, breaking through 29, 30 floors alone won't be easy.... ”

“That guy's a mess. Should I follow him in now and slide him over? ”

“Are you sure you want to win? ”

“Well, I think you're a higher level ranker than us.... There's three of us.”

“Well, that, too. ”

The difficulty of the stamp is adjusted according to the number of people, but it is not a combat calibration for the challenged opponent.

And that's the main reason we don't challenge the stamp of spirits.

Jamie, staring at the entrance of the 29th floor where the man entered, thought to himself, swallowing a dry needle.

‘I wonder what he's doing after leaving something unsettling.... Why don't you follow me inside and check? ’

Jamie then stared alternately at the other two party members.

And they also nodded at Jamie, whether they had similar ideas.

“Okay, let's follow them inside. ”

“Yes, Jamie. I don't know how good a ranker you are, but you won't lose 3: 1. ”

“I hear winning against challengers pays well. Let's give it a whirl. ”

The three people who quickly gathered their opinions checked the status window once and for all.

You don't have to rush it because you'll be able to fight more advantageously if you drag your time in anyway.

“Okay, you guys ready? ”

“Yep!"

“Let's go!”

After finishing preparing, Jamie took a deep breath and stepped forward toward the entrance leading to the 29th floor.

- Seal of Spirits, challenge on 29th floor.

However, the next moment, Jamie and the party members who checked the system message that came to mind, were more embarrassed than when the man first appeared in the waiting room.

“ ……? ”

“Huh? Crazy...? ”

Of course, the message should have come to mind, 'This is a gateway that another challenger is challenging,' as the gateway on the 29th floor normally took place.

- The battle is about to begin.

-3…… 2…… 1…….

What the hell is going on? ’

It was only two minutes before the man entered the 29th floor, and it was one of them that I didn't meet him like this…….

‘I lost in 2 minutes and bounced off the stamp, or cleared it and moved on to the next stage...' ’

Either way, it was embarrassing for her now.

Is the 29th floor really so difficult compared to the 28th floor? Or did he just break in here in two minutes? ’

In a situation that makes no sense at all, there is a more confused look on his face and only Jamie and the party members.

But at this moment, there were two things that they could never know.

First, the fact that they had never met a man was like luck for them…….

Second, the fact that the 30 floors of the seal of the Spirit, which had just been overtaken by him, had become an unbreakable stage.
