Are all those holy spirits monsters
This was the only thought that the Lancer had in the last few days. The Lancer had been fighting this group of Holy Spirits for three whole days and three nights, a battle that never stopped and without sleep.
Even though the tower spirit would restore his vitality and strength after each battle, the Lancer still felt exhausted.
Perhaps his combat sustaining ability is not yet enough to sustain a battle for seven days and seven nights. What’s worse is that the abilities used by this group of holy spirits are really bizarre.
During the three days, the Lancer was bombarded with magic of various attributes in turn. He experienced swordsmanship and spearmanship, had his face hit by a giant hammer and a shield, and experienced various strange negative states such as poisoning, bleeding, and curse.
What really made the Lancer feel incredible, unbelievable, and insane was that... this group of Holy Spirits went crazy for some reason and began to madly refresh the sacred records of the first level.
When he was young, Lancer also challenged the sacred record of the first level, and his record time was 45 minutes and 37 seconds, ranking seventh.
This record has been maintained for decades and is a bottleneck that the young talents in their world have been unable to break through.
The Lancer had thought that the sacred record of thirty-nine points achieved by his prince was already abnormal enough, but since the arrival of this group of holy spirits, the sacred record of the first level had entered a new era.
They finished a copy that normally would take an hour to complete in just fifteen minutes.
The current fastest record for clearing the first level is thirteen minutes and twenty-seven seconds, created by the Leaping Nuclear Guild.
This is no longer a record that the indigenous people could imagine, but fortunately the first level is limited to young people over 35 years old, and the sacred objects produced there are not that precious.
But the problem is that this group of crazy holy spirits have begun to touch the sacred records of the second level! This is the lifeline of the four major countries.
Most of the holy objects produced by the second and third tiers are important strategic resources for major countries.
Lancer didn't know what the country's top leaders thought of this matter, but he could leave that damn ring today.
He received a mission assigned by the king himself to escort Prince Segman to challenge the second level.
The age limit for indigenous people to challenge the second level of the Trial Tower is under 70 years old. The Lancer is 47 years old this year. He has challenged the second level of the Trial Tower once and passed it successfully.
The Lancer was not surprised that Prince Segman, who had always been competitive, would challenge the second level at this time. What surprised him was another instruction in the escort order.
'Absolutely, absolutely do not let Prince Segman touch an alchemical machine called the Strengthener. If Prince Segman has the inclination to touch the machine, he is allowed to be knocked unconscious and brought back to the country. This order is jointly issued by His Majesty the King, the Sage Mage, and the Holy Relic Vault Officials. The knights who receive this order are requested to strictly abide by it and not make any mistakes! '
A reinforcement machine? What is that
The Lancer carefully read the "Imperial Edict" in his hand again. During the past three days, he had been immersed in torturing those Holy Spirits and being tormented by them. He didn't care much about national affairs, and he didn't even know what the enhancer was.
Even the Lancer still doesn't know what the purpose of the Holy Spirits taking the magic stones is.
"Kelmo, sorry for the wait."
Segman appeared behind the Lancer at this time. The Lancer did not dare to neglect and took a look at Solar who was fighting with the Holy Spirit on the ring, then immediately saluted Segman with a knight's salute.
“Your Highness, you are already the best among the younger generation. There is no need to rush to challenge the second level.” The old wizard followed Segman and dissuaded him with a worried look on his face.
"What about among them?" Segman pointed at the players having an open-air party in the distance and turned his gaze to the old wizard again.
"This...this...Your Highness Segman, they are the Holy Spirit, the legendary saviors, there is no need for you to compete with them." The old wizard knew the reason why Segman had been trying so hard to increase his strength recently. Not only did he want to be the best in the world of indigenous people, Segman even wanted to be the best among the group of players.
"Then why can't we be our own saviors? The Flowing Water Nation has never lost to anyone." Segman lowered his voice and said, "I don't think it's natural that I'm weaker than the Holy Spirit."
"Your Highness..." When the old wizard wanted to say something, the lance knight blocked the old wizard's advance with his spear.
"Sage, please go back first. I will take care of His Highness Segman."
Lancer admires his eldest prince very much because Segman has the same trait as him, that is, he is so strong that he will not admit defeat to anyone.
"Alas..." The old wizard knew that besides his personality, another reason why Segman was so stubborn might be that he was in love.
During these three days, Segman and the Leaping Atomic Guild completed two dungeons. It was true that the Leaping Atomic Guild helped Segman successfully obtain the sacred record of the first level of the Trial Tower, but the more Segman came into contact with the Holy Spirits, the more he realized how weak he was.
Segman's current actions are purely due to the restlessness of an adolescent boy, the restlessness of wanting to show off in front of girls. In the indigenous world of the Tower of Trials, it is normal for a thirty-year-old boy to just reach puberty.
But the question is... How can Segman, as a human being, show off in front of a holy spirit "girl"? The enhancement machine gave Segman the answer.
“Your Highness, are you going to look for some kind of enhancement machine?” The Lancer saw that Segman was not heading towards the Trial Tower, but towards the group of Holy Spirits who were having an open-air party…
“You want to stop me too?” Segman said, glancing at the Lancer.
"As long as you don't tell His Majesty the King, I won't stop you. After all, I was also a disobedient child back then." The Lancer behaved unusually freely. As long as the strange alchemical machine did not endanger Segman's safety, he would not stop Segman.
"very good!"
Segman led the Lancer into the area where the goblin merchants were. As soon as he entered, the Lancer felt like he had entered some brothel, the kind of brothel full of people in strange costumes, with holy spirits wearing strange doll masks everywhere.
Solar initially inferred that these holy spirits took the magic stones in order to exchange for these strange headgear, but because it was too absurd, it was rejected by most people in the Kingdom of Flowing Water.
When Segman walked in, all the holy spirits looked at Segman and smiled, and the Lancer didn't understand why.
"Your Highness Segman! You have another holy object that is going to explode!" A holy spirit wearing a horse head shouted to Segman from a distance.
Segman did not answer with a cold face, but walked quickly to the NPC named Enhancer Yirui, cleared his throat and said to Enhancer Yirui.
"I want to use the No. 3 enhancer!" Segman took out three magic stones and placed them in the hands of the enhancer Yirui.
"How many pieces of equipment do you think Segman will blow up this time?"
"I guess five. He's too greedy to want to upgrade every piece of equipment to level 13."
Seeing this, the holy spirits around deliberately raised their voices and shouted.
"I haven't started strengthening yet! It's too rude of you to make such an assertion!" Segman heard the discussions of the holy spirits around him and refuted them.
"What assertion? We saw with our own eyes yesterday that you took five holy objects and strengthened them by thirteen! But they all exploded." Another Holy Spirit spoke.
When Segman heard this, his face instantly turned red, and veins popped out on his forehead. He was obviously in a state of embarrassment and anger. He suppressed his emotions and shouted loudly.
"It's just... just five little holy objects that have no effect! Don't you have a saying in the Holy Spirit that equipment that was used to cushion the opponent's attack is broken? How can you say it exploded?"
Segman no longer said anything difficult to understand. He had been either fighting in the Trial Tower or feeding his own holy objects to the enhancer these past two days.
The strengthening effect brought by the strengthening machine is really addictive for Segman. Now the staff in Segman's hand is a +13 strengthened scorching staff. The destructive effect of the fire magic he releases is at least increased by three times.
"Your Highness Segman, what are you going to do?" The Lancer listened quietly to the discussions of the Holy Spirits around him, feeling vaguely uneasy.
"Shut up and watch!"
Segman had entered a state of high concentration. He took out a statue emitting a crimson glow and carefully placed it into the enhancement machine.
The 213th sacred object, the Fire Gathering Statue! The Lancer recognized that this was an important sacred object of the Kingdom of Flowing Water.
The Lancer watched as Segman threw the holy relic into the intensifier, which shook for a while and spit out a lot of cinder furnace fragments.
"Your Highness, where is the holy relic that you threw in earlier?" The Lancer was stunned for a moment. He was reluctant to believe that this pile of black cinder fragments was the exquisite fire-gathering statue.
"It's broken, can't you see it?" Segman was not in a good mood either. He took out another dark blue glass ball.
The holy object numbered 327...the magic ball!
The Lancer had worked in a relic vault for a period of time before, and he could recognize the number, name, and...preciousness of each relic.
Segman threw the glass ball in his hand into the intensifier again, and a feeling of fear filled the heart of the Gun Knight, because he realized that this was just the beginning.
