As the tower shook, all the stone paths began to vibrate. The people on the paths were at a loss for a moment. The rules of gravity on the stone paths kept changing with different levels of pressure. As a result, many people fell to the ground, and Philip finally saw the projected shadow that he had seen earlier. It was an unusually handsome middle-aged man dressed in an ancient robe with long hair draped over his shoulders. He stood on the top of the tower and looked down at Philip and the others with an attitude of looking at commoners. “Everyone, you’ve finally passed the first test of the Archaic Underworld. “This also means that you’re one step closer to your wish.” No one paid any attention to this middle-aged man. Although he looked like a high-and-mighty person, except for the prince of the Beelzebub royal family, almost no one entered this place willingly, so no one would be grateful to him. Just like Philip, who was simply forced to enter this place. “By the
Finally, Philip felt his energy returning. He could use a little energy now. He looked at the others and saw the relief on their faces. The moment they recovered their energy, everyone sat on the floor to recover their physical strength. Raven walked up to Philip and sat down too. Philip asked softly, “Why do you seem as if you’ve not exhausted any energy at all?” Raven chuckled and said, “Actually, there's nothing strange about it. Alas, when I was about to fight the Great Augur to the death back then, I became just like him.” Hearing this, Philip glanced at him. In other words, like the Great Augur, Raven no longer used energy as an attack method but the power of the curse. Sighing softly, Philip knew that Raven's practice had come to an end. It was impossible for him to improve further. However, Raven seemed unfazed about it. “Actually, I have nothing to regret. At least in the current situation, I'm having an easier time than all of you.” Philip nodded. He cou
After the fight, everyone's energy was almost exhausted. Philip stood in the corner, and his eyes fell on the wall of the Underworld Tower. Due to the high concentration of blood around, murals appeared on the walls. However, he felt that something was missing in these murals. What could it be? When Philip looked at the murals, he seemed immersed in them. In an instant, shouts of killing rang in Philip's ears, and he seemed to have entered a battlefield. Energy overflowed on this battlefield, and various attack methods could be seen. Bodies were scattered everywhere, and countless heads were suspended in the air. Suddenly, Philip's River Burial Illusion was activated involuntarily, and Philip came back to his senses at this time. He then realized that the murals were not simple. He just took a glance at them and was sucked into them. If someone had attacked him just now, he might be dead by now. If the River Burial Illusion had not launched in time, he might not hav
At this time, the others also began to slowly wake up. They looked at those injured people lying on the ground who were still trapped in the murals, and a savage expression crossed their faces. Those unconscious people soon became victims. With their deaths, the second floor of the Underworld Tower finally opened. When they entered the second floor, they realized that the middle-aged man was already there. The middle-aged man was no longer smiling. He sighed and said solemnly, “I believe all of you have noticed that the scene depicted in the murals is the war between practitioners during ancient times! “It was a war triggered by two prophets, and I think all of you have felt the cruelty of that war!” No one replied, because no one knew if this kind-looking middle-aged man was actually a ruthless person. No one wanted to say the wrong thing and end up dead. The middle-aged man continued, “The second floor requires you to survive the war in the murals. The longer you pe
The middle-aged man had already disappeared. Philip knew that if this situation continued, it would not be long before everyone died. If that happened, the chances of getting out from the Underworld Tower would be even smaller. Seeing this, Philip suddenly had another thought. Since the River Burial Illusion could free him from this environment, could he use it to save others? Thinking of this, Philip activated the River Burial Illusion with the little energy he had recovered, but his plan was to cover every inch of this land with the River Burial Illusion. Only in this way could the others be awakened. In fact, Philip's reason for waking them up was very simple. After all, people who could be captured here more or less had their specialty. Philip had no way of getting out of here by himself right now. If everyone could come up with a plan together, at least it would be faster than Philip working alone. However, Philip had too little energy now, so the process seemed ex
After that, Philip noticed that the person who spoke just now was no longer simply trapped in an illusion but had become one with the scarecrow. The scarecrow was covered in a layer of blood mist. Raven walked up to Philip’s side and said, “This is a parasitic scarecrow. In our assassination world, there’s a profession called the puppeteer, and this parasitic scarecrow is their specialty.” With Raven's explanation, Philip finally understood what the parasitic scarecrow was capable of. No matter who touched these scarecrows, they would be parasitized, fall into a frenzy, and start attacking all living things around them. Now, that person had already fallen into a state of frenzy, while the scarecrow sticking to him got plumper. It was as if it was about to become a living person. Suddenly, the fight started. That person's first target was Philip, and he rushed straight at Philip. Although everyone could not mobilize much energy now, the parasitic person was different w
Philip stood in front, and Raven followed closely beside him. Philip was not trying to play hero, but since he was the first target of the previous parasitic scarecrow, the other parasitic scarecrows also took Philip as the first target when they came to life. However, Philip had consumed a lot of energy just now, and these scarecrows seemed immune to his level 7S fire element. No matter how strongly Philip’s fire element burned, the damage to the parasitic scarecrows was limited. Suddenly, someone started to back away. Raven promptly said, “If you don't take action, all of us will die here.” As he finished speaking, the person at the back said, “That’s not necessarily true.” “As long as more than half of the people are dead, we can open the next floor of the Underworld Tower.” At his reminder, those people who wanted to rush forward to help retreated. Philip looked at the crowd with narrowed eyes and said to Raven, “It’s okay. Since they’ve chosen this option, we can
The prince of the Beelzebub royal family pointed at Philip and Raven and said, “I did the math just now. If two more people die, the next floor of the Underworld Tower will be opened. It’s enough to just kill the two of them.” As soon as the prince of the Beelzebub royal family finished speaking, everyone present treated Philip and Raven as the culprits. Raven said coldly, “The prince of the Beelzebub royal family has sinister intentions, indeed. To protect yourself, you actually pushed us to the forefront.” Philip shook his head. If Raven really thought so, he would be underestimating the prince of the Beelzebub royal family. “You’re wrong,” Philip said. As Philip spoke, Raven laid out several curses around them. “How am I wrong?” Raven said as he dealt with these people’s attacks. Philip chuckled and said, “The prince of the Beelzebub royal family just wants to make use of us to kill more people so that the next floor of the Underworld Tower will open.” Hearing that,
