The Villain's Story

Chapter 424 [424] A fight against yourself.

"Ha…"

I let out a tired groan, as I retracted my spear from the throat of the White figure.

A moment later, a notification appeared in front of me.

[You have cleared the 39th floor. The Trial of Spearmanship.]

"Finally."

I heaved a sigh of relief, exhausted. These trials are taking everything out of me.

The 31st trial tested my strength against my strength.

The next ones tested my agility, combat, Reflexes, Mana, Endurance, And Even my own body.

The difficult ones were the 36th and 37th trials, which tested my mana and body.

The trial of mana especially…was just torturous. My clone could use my spatial and frost affinities to no limits!

I was swarmed with my greatest skills every second…it was nauseating!

Now I knew how my opponents fell when I dropped entire glaciers on them and used the strongest skills one by one. Whilst I had to be conservative of my mana.

I felt sorry for them, But I won't stop doing it.

And the trial of body, which put me up against my dragon form with nothing but my own physical attributes was horrendous as well. Then I felt bad for the heavenly demon, who had to fight me when I was in my full dragon form.

Regardless, I will still not stop.

"Sigh…"

I let out a sigh as I entered the lobby of the 4th lobby of the tower, intending to take a good amount of rest before challenging the 40th floor, which would probably be a fight against myself, but this time instead of specific attributes just a complete version of me.

I hope I am not restricted in any way though…lest I will be doomed.

'These trials are tiring…'

I thought as I sat down on the pure white floor. The 4th lobby was similar to the first lobby…just a plain, white room.

The only difference is that there is no black corridor like in the first lobby.

There is nothing here, quite fitting of the themes of the fourth series of floors.

"Lanesha, can you wake me up in two hours?"

I requested Lanesha and quietly waited for a response.

I needed some rest, but not too much rest lest Samantha will suffer more. I need to hurry with the clearing of the floors.

[Supreme Dragon of Frost Lanesha insists you need more rest!]

'...'

I facepalmed. Of course…Lanesha is the opposite of Suleras. She is far too nice.

If Suleras was here, he would have woken me up in twenty minutes rather than two hours. Lanesha…

'Why do I get the feeling she will wake me up way longer..?'

I don't know…I just have this weird feeling she will let me rest for a lot longer than I expected.

[Supreme Dragon Of Frost Lanesha smirks.]

'...'

When I saw that message, I was sure of it. She is not going to wake me up in two hours.

"Oh come on."

I lay down on the white floor as I rubbed my tired eyes, My body was aching in pain.

My muscles were tired, my mana was nearly depleted, and even my head hurt a lot.

[Supreme Dragon of Frost Lanesha urges you to fall asleep.]

"..."

Now, I know that she only wants the best for me…But I cannot be relaxed.

"Forget sleeping."

I muttered,

[Supreme Dragon of Frost Lanesha is confused.]

"I will just recover my mana…"

Using [Mana Mastery] would allow me to recover my mana and also strength, although it won't be as good as a full sleep, I don't need one.

I need to hurry.

[Supreme Dragon of Frost Lanesha urges you to rest.]

I ignored Lanesha, and my own body's exhaustion, and activated the [Mana Mastery].

[Mana Mastery(*) has been activated.]

[The mana of the world obeys your command.]

***********

[After three hours, Tower Of Trials, 4th lobby.]

[Alan Peccator PoV.]

"Whew…"

I stood up, and after circulating my mana I felt rejuvenated.

Of course, there were still some sore spots in my body but… I couldn't help it.

If only I had the Phoenix bloodline with me, I would be blitzing through these stages, regardless of whether I was injured or not.

The bloodline was quite overpowered, and I didn't even realize it.

I only realized its importance after I lost it, which is quite sad.

I equipped my tattered armor and spear, and before I could say anything, Lanesha interrupted me.

[Supreme dragon of frost Lanesha is angry with you.]

"...Sorry."

I apologized for not listening to her.

And then moved on pretty quickly. Not paying her much attention.

"I want to challenge the fortieth floor."

I said, determined to clear it.

I already had an idea of what it would be about…But I was helpless about the restrictions it would place on me.

I waited for the tower to answer, but strangely it took a lot of time.

"..?"

Five minutes had passed before it finally replied.

[The fortieth floor has been challenged.]

[Good Luck, Challenger.]

"..?"

What? Why is it different?

Before I could question any further, an ear-crackling sound rang out, I hurriedly prepared myself, ready for whatever the tower would throw at me.

A large amount of mana was abundant in the surroundings, and a portal appeared in front of me.

A full, white Portal, which had a weird but familiar energy.

[You have entered the fortieth floor.]

[No restrictions have been placed on you.]

[The Trial of Thyself begins now.]

[Fight against yourself, armed with no limitations…and defeat yourself.]

A large amount of mana rushed out from the portal. The quantity of it was so incredibly high that even I was pushed back a little.

A biting chill permeated the atmosphere, and the space itself distorted around me.

I activated a mana barrier of my own to protect myself and smirked as I saw what came out of the portal.

A perfect copy of me came out of the portal, it was not like the white figures from before, which were just an imitation of my physique without my features.

It was literally me.

[The fortieth trial begins.]
