“[Endless Infernal Fire]? What the hell is that?”
Mike cast shields and healing spells on himself while glaring at the bald man.
Endless Infernal Fire dealt 600,000 burn damage per second. Mike had some damage reduction, and with over ten million health, his life wasn’t in immediate danger.
However, how could he be happy about randomly stealing a debuff?
Due to the special properties of [Steal Fire], the duration of stolen buffs was increased tenfold.
The original 36-year duration of [Endless Infernal Fire] was super-sized to 360 years!
Ace’s mouth curled into a smirk as he saw the description of [Endless Infernal Fire]. “Thor, you’re so unlucky, were you affected by Afterskin’s bad luck?”
Mike rolled his eyes, ignoring Ace’s mockery, and looked at the bald man, asking again, “This buff I got, besides constantly taking burn damage, there must be some benefits, right?”
“Indeed, there are.”
Mike immediately asked, “What are the benefits of enduring the burn of Endless Infernal Fire?”
The bald man pondered and said, “Enduring Endless Infernal Fire for one day grants 1 million bonus max health.
Two days, in addition to the bonus max health, you also gain 15% fire element damage immunity.
Three days, in addition to the above rewards, you can learn the [Endless Infernal Fire] skill. However, each person can only receive the baptism of [Endless Infernal Fire] once, there are no rewards for the second time. The longer you endure, the greater the rewards.”
Three days, Mike only had three days.
In three days, Mike would be heading to the Ninth Abyss with the team.
He couldn’t go to the abyss with the Endless Infernal Fire debuff.
One wrong move, and he would be cremated on the spot.
The Ninth Abyss would throw a party to celebrate, and the Archdemon would be grinning from ear to ear.
As for the greater rewards, Mike could only reluctantly give them up.
After listening to the bald man’s explanation, Mike nodded in acknowledgment.
“I understand, thank you.”
“You’re welcome.”
The bald man turned to leave.
Mike remembered something and asked, “How many years have you endured Endless Infernal Fire?”
The bald man smiled faintly and shook his head.
“I’ve been burned by Endless Infernal Fire since the day I was born, until this day, I’ve lost track of time.”
Mike nodded slowly.
Although this bald man had fallen from above level 995, his mentality was exceptionally good. He accepted defeat gracefully, moved from the temple to the Core City of Truth, and fulfilled his bet with Afterskin.
With this matter settled, there was no need for them to stay any longer.
After summoning the Truth Core Crystal, the three of them placed their hands on it and began calculating their conquest rating.
“Calculating…”
“Congratulations to participants [Thor], [I Want to Be the First], and [Good Luck] for achieving an SSSS-level conquest rating on the 29th floor!”
The moment he heard the global announcement, Mike glanced at Afterskin helplessly.
The fact that his ID was [Good Luck]…
Mike knew, but couldn’t accept it.
Were you kidding me? Good luck?
“Participants [Thor], [I Want to Be the First], and [Good Luck] conquered the 29th floor with an SSSS-level rating, rewarding all humans in the Tower of Truth with the buff [Victorious Return]!”
“Permanent buff [Lightning Strike]: Humans in the Tower of Truth have a 29% chance to deal additional lightning damage when dealing damage on the 29th floor.”
“Permanent buff [Return to Familiar Ground]: After failing a floor challenge, humans in the Tower of Truth gain a 10% stat boost on their next attempt, limited to floors below the 30th.”
“Permanent buff [Good Fortune]: Humans in the Tower of Truth gain +2 Luck on the 29th floor.”
“Permanent buff [Victorious Return]: After conquering the 29th floor, humans in the Tower of Truth automatically receive an S-level equipment that matches their class.”
This global announcement was even more impactful than yesterday’s.
Many people rubbed their eyes, unable to believe what they were seeing.
Four permanent buffs!
Unprecedented!
Even though Thor had already reached the 29th floor, creating miracles time and time again over the past month, the shock brought by this conquest was beyond words!
As Thor cleared the first 29 floors, the human race continuously gained powerful buffs, and people who couldn’t even touch the Soldier tier before were breaking through one after freewebnσvel.cm
another.
Recently, the Combat Power Test hall had been packed every day!
Countless Soldiers and Generals were emerging like mushrooms after rain!
And the biggest contributor behind this was Thor himself!
Once again, Thor topped the charts of major websites.
Now, Thor was like a traffic password.
While Thor was trending as usual, people also noticed the two people who had cleared the
floor with him:
[I Want to Be the First] and [Good Luck].
The former was quite mysterious, with almost no information available.
The latter, however, sparked a wave of online archaeology!
An article written by a three hundred-year-old Chief, after being uploaded to the headlines, instantly went viral, gaining hundreds of millions of views!
“Getting to Know [Good Luck]: The Man Who Scares Demon Gods”
The veteran, who had fought for three hundred years, still couldn’t help but tremble when
writing the name Afterskin.
It was evident how much psychological trauma Afterskin had left on people back then.
Of course, these things were temporarily irrelevant to Mike and the others.
Although they were at the center of the storm, because their identities were kept secret, they weren’t affected at all.
Returning to the Core City of Truth, Mike clapped his hands, finally feeling a bit more relaxed.
He had successfully carried Afterskin through the 29th floor and even managed to get an SSSS
rating.
If it weren’t for the [Endless Infernal Fire] incident, Mike’s trip tonight would have been
perfect!
The moment the three of them appeared, a man in luxurious clothes also appeared beside
them.
Afterskin, in his wheelchair, greeted him enthusiastically.
“Bro, you’re still alive?”
“Thanks to you, I’m not dead yet. I’m just taking care of some small matters for my boss.”
Foreskin was already accustomed to Afterskin’s way of greeting. He didn’t look at Afterskin, but instead brought out two bowls of plain water.
“This is water infused with four-leaf clovers. Drinking it can remove bad luck from your
body.”
There was such a good thing?!
Mike took both bowls, drank one, and put the other away.
Ace: ???
Where was his?
Mike looked at Ace seriously and said, trying to fool him, “Heaven will bestow great responsibility on this man, but first, it will test his mind and strengthen his body!” Ace’s face remained expressionless, unfazed. Mike’s words didn’t move him at all.
Ace spoke, “Translate that for me.”
Damn it! Ace was actually at a disadvantage because of his lack of culture!
Mike rolled his eyes and briefly explained it to him.
After listening, Ace pondered.
“So you’re saying that to achieve great things, you need to get beaten up more?”
Mike: …
“If you want to understand it that way, I guess it’s not wrong.”
Ace thought for a moment. It didn’t seem to matter if his luck was a bit worse.
Anyway, he wasn’t far from Mike during the day, and bad luck could affect those around him.
If he could inflict one thousandth of damage on the enemy, even if he suffered one hundred percent of the pain himself, Ace would be happy!
After finishing the water, Mike didn’t forget to look at Foreskin and ask, “Where are the four-
leaf clovers? What’s the price?”
Even the water infused with the clovers had such a miraculous effect.
How powerful must the four-leaf clovers themselves be!
Foreskin pointed at Afterskin helplessly.
“The only clover we had, he fed it to a pig.”
Mike: ???
“Then what did I just drink?” Foreskin quickly explained, “It was infused beforehand, absolutely clean and hygienic!”
Mike was skeptical.
However, there was nothing he could do about it now.
“The conquest rewards might take a while. This time, three people achieved an SSSS rating
together, Apollo might be busy.”
After speaking, Mike said goodbye to the three of them.
“I’m going to the Wolf’s Den first, I have some business to discuss with Maxen!” “Before leaving, Mike didn’t forget to remind Afterskin, ‘While you were frozen, the Fifth
Demon God seemed to be acting up. Find a way to give him some trouble!””
Mike believed that Afterskin had plenty of ways to screw people over.
“The Fifth Demon God?”
Afterskin was stunned. “He’s still alive?”
“He’s not dead, ask them about the details. If I’m late, Maxen will be gone!”
With that, Mike turned and left.
Watching Thor’s retreating figure, Afterskin smiled faintly and waved goodbye.
Only after Thor’s figure disappeared around the corner did Afterskin’s smile slowly fade. Although his face was expressionless, he gave off a sense of dejection.
Standing up from his wheelchair, Afterskin stretched and looked at Foreskin, asking lazily,
“Bro, is it safe to talk now?”
Foreskin shook his head slightly, took out a gold ingot, and threw it on the ground.
Instantly, countless gold coins appeared, enveloping Foreskin, Afterskin, and Ace.
They were instantly transported to the Trade Secret Realm, further enveloped by Foreskin’s
Sea of Truth.
Only one being in the entire Tower of Truth could see what was happening here.
Foreskin knew very well that this being wouldn’t look, at least not now.
After doing all this, Foreskin nodded.
“It’s safe now.”
Ace looked at Afterskin with interest, and Afterskin’s next words truly shocked him!
Afterskin frowned at Foreskin, his voice full of confusion. “Doesn’t Thor know… that he already possesses the Supreme Mark?”
