「Wow… It’s always gorgeous to see…」

When I entered, it was still gorgeous. If anything, it hasn’t changed at all from before?

I proceeded to the door on the opposite side, farthest away from the entrance. If I recall, the door will then open on its own…

──Gogogogogo… !!

Oh yeah. Did I mention poltergeists before? Now that I think about it, there is magic in this world, so that explains it.

As usual, I was engulfed by an invisible white light and lost consciousness.

──Hyuoooooooo… !!!

──Chun… Chunchun… ! Patapatapata!!

「…… Hmm… !」

I wake up to the sound of birds flying away.

「… Huh? What is this place…」

When I looked around, there was nothing but the ground and a beautiful, blue, cloudless sky. And the ground is an octagonal floor with a radius of only about 50 meters.

After all, this seems to be the exact spot where I fought the Hellwolf King last time. The only thing different from last time is…

「Ah! There’s some stairs!」

At the place where the Hell Wolf King had appeared, there was a black staircase that became thinner and more transparent the higher up it went.

「I wonder if I have to climb up here to get to the next location… Well, I’ll find out when I get there…」

As soon as I put my foot on the staircase, the scenery changed, and it became a forest with the same air as the forest I had passed through before coming to the Tower of Trials.

「Oh! That’s great… ! Hmm??」

I saw the words “16th floor” in the lower left corner of the screen I am looking at now. Does that mean this is the 16th floor? Then I guess I should start from where I left off last time…

Then, the scenario changes. After all, the higher the level, the stronger the enemies become. The last time I challenged this, all the enemies were at the same level of 60… well, the boss was 75. However, the strength of the boss was not only based on the level of the enemy. The combat skills were different. If the first floor of the Tower of Trials was that of a child who knew nothing, the 10th floor was the level of a normal adult. If there was no upper limit to this specification, the 100th floor of the Tower of Trials would probably be a bad idea… ?

「Well, there’s no point in saying this… There are just some enemies」

「Bumou…」

「Bumo! Bumo!!」

「Bumooo!!」

「Bushimo!!」

「Buoooooo!!!!」

「Hmm? Is there something wrong with one of the Orcs… ? Or is it my imagination? But still… It’s shining black somehow… ? At any rate, 《Appraisal》…」

I use my 《Appraisal》 skill on the three black Orcs.

【Name】 G-Orc LV. 125 Condition: Normal

【Weakness】 None

【Attribute Weakness】 Ice

【Description】 A humanoid monster that is mostly made of black pig parts. Unlike ordinary Orcs who hated fire, this shiny black Orc conquered it. Instead, they became bitter about the cold. They usually live in packs near volcanoes. Rarely, there are Orcs who stray from the pack, but they are a little miserable ones who were driven out because they lost a fight within the pack. They boast high physical attack power and hit resistance, and their high HP is no different from that of ordinary Orcs, but they can use a little bit of magic, so be careful. Unlike real G-Orcs, they seem to move slowly.

HP: 36210/36210

MP: 9840

STR: 5417

VIT: 3625

DEF: 4310

AGI: 524

INT: 954

DEX: 448

「Ha?」

Level 125? Eh? Why is it so high all of a sudden? Eh? It’s twice as high as last time, right? More than that? Eh? Eh?

「Bumooo!!!!」

「!」

───Dogooooooooon!!!!

「Uwwa…」

「Bumoooou!!」

「Bummooo!!!」

───Buuuunuuuun!!

The bleeding Orc in the lead swung down a pitch-black golden club with thorns in its hand. As I avoided it to the side, the two Orcs that had been behind this bloody Orc earlier shot black magic bullets at me.

「This much I can manage!」

───Bashu!! Bashu!!

I calmly slash them down and turn to the Orc who has just smashed the gold club into the ground. Of course, I am also wary of the magic of the Orcs behind it.

「125…」

How did this happen… ?
