"Could it be that the entrance to the spire is open?"
Seeing the spire that had changed again after emitting the receiving beam a week ago, Gray's face moved slightly, and he had a guess in his mind.
According to his discussion with Sophia, this spire and even this island are running according to certain rules at intervals of time.
The reception beam will be turned on at a certain period of time to allow people of appropriate age to enter the island for trial, and then the spire entrance will be opened at a certain period of time to allow those who participated in the trial to leave the island.
Now that the white spire had changed again, he had to suspect that the entrance to the spire had been opened and it was time to leave the island.
Giving up on hunting the fog beast, Gray rushed towards the steeple.
Although improving strength is important, leaving the island is even more important. If you miss the opportunity and are trapped and die on this island, no matter how strong you are, it will be useless.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
While Gray was rushing towards the spire, the faces of the people who were still alive in the four kingdoms on the island all changed slightly, and they gave up hunting the fog beasts without hesitation and rushed towards the spire.
The people who appeared here were all the younger generation of geniuses from the four kingdoms. They could naturally think of the questions that Gray and others could think of, and they could naturally guess what the flashing spire meant.
"We must not let Gray Fergus arrive at the spire entrance first!"
Among them, Nicholas Lieyan increased his speed to the limit and rushed to the spire as quickly as possible. If Gray Fergus blocked the entrance to the spire, he might be left on the island forever. This was his absolute Unwillingly.
Whoosh!
When Gray arrived at the minaret, more than ten people had already arrived before him near the entrance of the minaret.
In order to hunt down a powerful enough fog beast, Gray has been searching all over the island in the past few days, far away from the spire, so although his speed is not slow now, he is still not the first one to arrive. .
As for stopping Niklos Lieyan and letting Niklos Lieyan be trapped and die on the island, he wouldn't mind doing it if given the opportunity, but he would never give up the opportunity to improve his strength just for this.
"It has indeed been opened!"
Arriving near the entrance to the spire, Gray looked towards the entrance and immediately saw that the two huge doors, which were difficult for him to open no matter what, had been opened inwards.
Obviously, the previous guess was correct, the entrance to the spire will be opened at a certain time, and now is this time.
He walked forward and saw that among the dozen or so people at the entrance, there were Sophia, Frances and others, as well as Glynnway Austin from the Gem Kingdom and Liles Crimson from the Crimson Kingdom.
A dozen people stood near the entrance and did not go in immediately.
When they saw the entrance after the door opened, what they saw was not the inner space in the spire, but a whirlpool as black as ink.
It's a bit like the black mist vortex he used to attack, but the color is deeper, as black as ink, without any light shining through.
"This is?"
Gray stepped forward and asked Sophia.
"It should be a channel with transmission capabilities."
"Transmission ability channel?"
"Well, Nicholas Lieyan and several people from Lieyan Kingdom entered just now and disappeared immediately. They must have been teleported away."
Sophia nodded.
"Where do you think it will be teleported to?"
Glynway Austin asked.
"It's nothing more than two places, either somewhere inside the spire, or outside the island. This island should be a testing ground for a mysterious force. There should be no danger in the transmission process."
Liles Crimson said.
"Nikles Lieyan has already entered. Let's go. If we miss it, we might be left on the island forever."
Francis said, stepping into the black vortex, and then saw his figure quickly disappearing into the black vortex.
Following Francis, one person after another walked into the whirlpool, and then quickly disappeared.
"Let's go!"
Nodding to Sophia, Gray also stepped in and walked into the vortex.
Entering the vortex, all he saw was pitch black. Even with night vision, Gray couldn't see anything.
But the darkness soon passed. Soon, his eyes became bright and his vision returned again.
He looked around and found that he was in an empty closed room. This was a room of approximately several thousand square meters. There was no light source in the room, but surprisingly, the room was as bright as day.
This is a phenomenon that goes against common sense, but Gray accepts it easily. After all, even magic weapons can be banned, so that there is light in a closed room without lighting objects. It does not seem to be so difficult to understand.
Suddenly, red mist appeared in the room, and then gathered into a line of text in the air.
"Tower of Trials, the first trial!"
It's not a script that Gray doesn't recognize. The script is something that Gray is very familiar with. The script that has been used since the Empire period. The forces that left this island behind. The script used is the same script as the Empire. There should be a difference between the two. There is some connection.
"The Tower of Trials should refer to the white spire, but what about the first trial?"
Just when Gray was thinking this, something changed again in the space.
More red mist emerged, gathered together, twisted and deformed, and finally, the red mist turned into a person.
This is a man about two meters tall. Because it is condensed by mist, his face is quite blurry. In the opponent's hand, he holds a sword with a rather wide blade.
Uh-huh!
The people condensed in the mist quickly rushed toward Gray.
As he approached, the earth-yellow light shone brightly on the sword, becoming even larger, and slashed at Gray from top to bottom.
clang!
Without using the blood beast ability, just by drawing the sword and relying on his physical strength, Gray had already blocked this powerful and heavy sword.
Clang, clang, clang, poof!
The weapons in the hands of the two collided rapidly. After more than ten exchanges, Gray burst out with terrifying movement speed and suddenly appeared beside the fog man. The sword in his hand slashed sharply towards the waist of the person transformed by the fog.
The person transformed by the mist retreated sharply to the side, but was unable to dodge the sword. A deep wound appeared on his waist.
"The combat power should be at the first level of Huang level!"
Gray judged in his mind.
In the fight just now, he did not use the blood beast ability and only relied on the strength of his body. However, because of the bloodline of the Vajra King Beast, even his physical strength was enough to be comparable to the blood warrior of the first level of the wild level, so the opponent His combat power should be at the first level of Huang level.
Swish, swish, swish!
The man transformed by the mist attacked Gray again. This time, he slashed in the air, and suddenly three rock blades several meters long slashed at Gray.
Facing the three incoming rock blades, Gray did not intend to entangle with the opponent any longer, and decided to end the battle as soon as possible. It was just to test the opponent's combat power.
Hooray!
In front of Gray, a long river of cyan mist emerged, and three rock blades were shattered. Not only that, the long river of cyan mist also wrapped the people transformed by the mist into it.
Puff puff!
The person transformed by the mist struggled wildly but couldn't get away. Wounds appeared one after another on his body. When the long river of mist disappeared, the other person was lying on the ground without any movement. His body was rapidly dissolving, and in the end nothing was left.
"Isn't there any red mist?"
Seeing this, Gray understood. It seemed that when the creatures transformed into the mist of the Tower of Trial died, the red mist would not be left behind.
A red mist appeared again in the center of the room, forming several more words.
"Tower of Trials, the second trial."
Then, red mist surged in the room, and the mist turned into another person again.
This is a slightly thin man, only about 1.7 meters tall by visual inspection, holding two short knives in his hands.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Behind the opponent, shadows filled the air, and the shadows turned into huge arrows one after another, shooting at Gray intensively.
The ice wind blade turned into a whirlpool and immediately blocked the arrows one after another.
"Second level of desolate level!"
The strength of the fog man in front of him was obviously a level higher than that of the fog man before him, reaching the second level of desolate level.
Whoosh!
After using his shadow ability to turn into arrows and attack Gray one after another, the Fog Man himself quickly approached Gray, showing extremely fast speed.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
In front of Gray, black mist surged out and turned into tentacles one after another, attacking the fog man.
puff!
After dodging more than 10 shadow tentacles in a row, Mist Man was stabbed by a black mist tentacle.
A hole appeared in his body, and Kirito, who was holding two swords, fell down powerlessly and completely dissipated.
"First the first level of the desolate level, then the second level of the desolate level, and then probably the third level of the desolate level!"
The red fog text appeared again, the third trial started, and a fog man holding a spear appeared.
Woohoo—
The fog man armed with a spear attacked Gray.
A huge cyan tornado appeared, like a collection of huge cyan blades, spinning towards Gray.
In front of Gray, the black mist also turned into a tornado and hit the blue tornado.
boom!
Fragments of the wind blade and sporadic black mist splashed around.
"Sure enough, it has reached the third level of desolate level!"
In the aftermath, Gray and the fog man holding a spear took action again.
Gray swept out his sword, and the concentrated black mist turned into a black light and struck at the fog man holding a spear.
As for the fog man holding a spear, there was a cyan light flashing on the tip of the spear, which was filled with an extremely sharp aura, which was the compressed wind.
A gun hit the black light, and the black light instantly shattered. The gun-wielding Fog Man quickly approached Gray, and with the green light spear, he shot straight into Gray's heart.
Gray's long sword was filled with black mist, became several meters long, and slashed out.
