Without further ado, Almond started executing his idea.
‘Devour it.’
As he stretched both of his hands forward, a giant whirlpool formed above the nexus, whirling with black, dark gold, and dark green streams of energy.
‘If I was in the second layer and could use my Arcane Constitution, this would be easy,’ Almond wryly smiled.
Shaking his head, he focused and continued, forcefully absorbing the nexus and turning it into a spiritual metaphysical entity.
As time passed, Almond realized that this was going to tire him a lot, not just physically, but also mentally because he had to constantly exert his will and bend Arcane to his desire to break this rule of Grimworld Tutorial.
After all, nobody was supposed to ‘clear’ a dungeon like this.
While Almond was converting the nexus into Spirit, the monsters within the dungeon were also dying, or more specifically, dispersing.
‘It’s working,’ Almond’s eyes sharply shone. ‘This is an SSS-rank dungeon with Mythical-rank monsters and bosses. Just this single Nexus can provide a ton of energy to the tower.’
‘And there are Twenty-nine SSS-rank dungeons more.’
‘I’ll deal with the ones with high-bordered first and leave the low-bordered dungeons later. It’s better if their nexus gets more energy from the Grimworld first.’
This SSS-rank Dungeon was gold-bordered, so the Mythical-rank monsters should have been level 300, but that wasn’t the case.
They had just reached the 20th Floor, where the maximum monster level was Mythical 50.
So the monsters were also at Mythical level 50.
Once they cleared the 20th Floor and reached the 21st floor, Mythical-rank Dungeons would spawn, with levels ranging from 1 to 300 depending on their color border.
Since he had regained memories, he also knew that the 25th Floor had level 300 Mythical monsters, and the floors from 26th to 30th were called Mythical Tier-1, Tier-2, Tier-3, Tier-4, and the last one was Mythical Peak.
Naturally, since they planned to clear the 30th floor after fifteen days in one go, they didn’t need to worry about dungeons as they would just ascend to the second layer.
Almond wanted to make sure they ascended!
‘Fuck, this took almost half an hour to convert.’ Almond looked at the mystical spiritual orb floating in front of him while the Nexus had completely withered.
The space around him crumbled, and the dungeon was about to vanish, so Almond quickly left.
He was a bit tired and needed rest, but before resting, he went to the Vital Rampage Tower to make this new type of Spirit that he termed Energy Spirit input into the tower.
Almond created a special energy slot to put Energy Spirit in, allowing the tower to get fueled by it.
“Awesome,” Almond grinned. “Now, everyone who has guts and is strong enough Will can increase their stats here quickly.”
Almond was breaking rules upon rules to empower his world because no way in hell he would let his past life’s tragedy happen again!
…
While Almond went to rest to recover, his actions didn’t go unnoticed due to many anomalies.
Tutorial Overseers couldn’t observe activities happening on Earth and only observed the Labyrinth and Phase Events, but External Overseers were the opposite.
They only observed the planets and movements happening in the universes of the first layer.
Almond’s act of destroying the dungeons completely by targeting their nexus was an anomaly.
And those who had subtle control of Grimworld Tutorial didn’t like how everything was going.
To make things spicy, an announcement rang.
[Announcement! The War Event’s location will shift to the battlefield. Wild Hunts will begin at the center of the battlefield, and four Apocalypse Empires will rise and participate.]
[With Earth and Cyberterra planets having individuals who reached the 20th Floor, initiating Phase 2’s advent, this event will be the final one.]
[The rules of Wild Hunts will be revealed one hour before the beginning of the event, which is after 18 hours.]
[All the best.]
Meanwhile, the forces of Hollowstar had stopped their activities and were cooking popcorn to watch the incoming massive clash of four worlds.
They didn’t have enough forces to interfere with these four worlds that were very powerful, so they targetted other planets while watching these four.
Hollowstar Emissary was watching the battlefield with a hint of frustration as he couldn’t succeed.
‘But they will surely ascend to the second layer. We will devour them there.’
‘For now, the question is who will emerge victorious out of these four?’
…
Arcane Champion Neo and Zanathriel were in contact and were sparring when the announcement dropped.
“If the Wild Hunts event will happen on the battlefield, does that mean there’s no limit to participants?” Neo frowned and contacted someone.
“Should be the case,” Zanathriel nodded, his eyes thoughtful. “But why did this happen? Surely it’s not just because your planet and Earth cleared the 20th Floor of the Labyrinth.”
“You also reached Mythical. So after that meeting we had, you also hurried to get strong,” Neo grinned.
“That I had to.” Zanathriel glanced at him. “But it seems we all had the same plan.”
Neo’s cyber-ear flickered as he said, “The trial in the hub disappeared. It seems that there’s indeed no limit of participants in this War Event.”
“Mhmm, now we have to wait for the rules of this event and the new players called Apocalypse Empires,” Zanathriel narrowed his eyes.
“Things will be messy,” Neo said, his eyes meeting Zanathriel as they appeared thoughtful.
“How about we launch an attack on Earth’s base right now? They don’t need to participate in the event once we eliminate them from this race,” Zanathriel said.
Neo’s eyes glinted. “I think…that’s indeed the best course of action. The earlier and faster we eliminate them, the better.”
“Good, then go and prepare your forces. No need to delay,” Zanathriel said, a surge of purple spark appearing in his eyes as he used a skill, causing the entire tree to glimmer.
Neo nodded. “Do we conjoin our forces before going or meet up at Earth’s base?”
“Let’s meet up there.”
“Good,” Neo said and took out a device from his storage ring that soon turned into a big ring with a wormhole.
Entering inside, he directly returned to Cyberterra’s Base.
