Chapter 1059: Lower Floor Raid
A portal opened out of nowhere. Through the power of some relic or item Maria had not detected at all, a portal to another floor of the Tower opened yet again! This time, the portal wasn’t red or black though, it released a flash of bright white and golden light. And from within, five silhouettes stepped out. The entire group of “reinforcements” that Hendrick had called.
And that unfortunately were unable to catch up with him on time, as he was now more than dead. Maria had not only killed him, but she also ate him whole. Both soul and body and everything. The powerful God Slaying Sword was strong, but the wielder was perhaps too weak to wield its powers completely.
“Well, well, looks like we are quite late?”ALL new 𝒄hapters 𝒐n n𝒐v(𝒆)lbin(.)com
“Where might Hendrick be?”
“Hey, are you there? We’ve come back to repay the favor.”
“…Ah!”
“What happened here?!”
The group of five men stepped out of the light created by their portal, as Maria squinted her monstrous and giant eyes against them. They weren’t just your average run of the mill bastard. They exuded powerful Auras, overflowing not with Mana, but with Ki!
Four of them resembled a mix between Chinese and Koreans, with handsome and youthful faces. Wearing ancient Chinese clothes with varied colors, mostly shades of gray, with a lot of black and red colors. Maria quickly recognized their appearances as your average demonic cultivator from a Xianxia Novel.
However, it was the fifth that surprised Maria. Compared to the other four, he was at least fifty times stronger, yet looked rather inconspicuous, a slightly tall old man, with long white hair and beard, wearing pure black robes with red droplets of blood as decorations.
He looked at Maria in silence after he realized what had happened here. Somehow, Hendrick had given them a favor, and these cultivators had come to repay it by helping him defeat Maria and company.
And then, the same message appeared once more. This time, it was alerting the invasion of yet another group of hostile invaders.
[Warning! A Special Lower Floor Raid Event is in effect!]
[Your Floor is now undergoing invasion from outside forces of a floor below yours within the Tower. Invasion Origin: {Floor 40: Murim}]
[Because the Invaders come from a world below your own, they have received a compensation. All their Total Power and Stats have increased by +100%.]
[Fend off the invaders to gain Contribution Points you can utilize to purchase items in the Raid Shop! Or succumb to the endless greed of the ruthless cultivators.]
It was just as Maria imagined. This was a raid! A raid of only five men, but it was a raid, nonetheless. The worst part was that because they came from a world below Yggdrasil, they received an enhancement to all their stats as a “compensation”.
“It appears we are quite late. It wasn’t so easy to create a Portal here after all.” The old man sighed. “Unfortunately, our good friend is dead. I can’t feel his evil presence anywhere, his blood energy is gone as well. How… unfortunate, yes, yes.”
The old man didn’t seem bothered at all after learning this, however. His eyes fixated in the entity that Maria had become. Her eldritch appearance, and also her jackal-like form, exuding an aura of pure all-consuming dread.
Although it didn’t show, he was slightly… wary of her.
“Who are you bastards?!” Lucifer roared first. “You want to start a fight now?! Your damned ally’s gone! He’s dead!”
“You want to become our meal, by any chance?” Partner smiled viciously.
“We’ve barely warmed up anyways.” Emeraldine said threateningly.
“Hahh… I guess I can go for round two.” Jonathan smiled, already a bit more recovered.
The five Murim inhabitants were still considering their odds. If they could kill these foes, they would be able to gain tremendously strong corpses to absorb and enhance their cultivation.
However.
“So?”
Maria asked the five cultivators, their eyes widening as they saw the enormously strong auras surging from them. It was quite clear they were all beings above S Rank. They were quite confident on defeating even SS Rank foes.
But anything above that would already risk their lives. SSS Rank foes, maybe if they all ganged against a single one. But three of them? No, it seemed utterly futile.
Yet the foolish younglings provoked them even more.
“You dare speak to us in such language, you savage of Yggdrasil?!”
“You must love to court death!”
“Aren’t you the frogs in a well here?”
“Just because your world is higher than ours, it doesn’t mean you’re stronger than us…”
The foolish younglings had no idea what they were saying! Unlike their old demonic cultivator master standing behind them, they had no ability to easily detect a foe’s Rank outside their own world.
“You guys are delusional…” Partner pointed her two spears at them.
“We’ve come here to repay a favor, yes.” The old master finally spoke. “But that favor cannot be repaid anymore, as the one that has given it to us seems to be long dead. We are humble visitors from the Murim world.”
Suddenly, the old man bowed his head in front of Maria and the rest of her party!
At this scene, his own disciples were left utterly flabbergasted.
“Master?!”
“W-Why?!”
“Why are you bowing in front of those monsters from Yggdrasil?!”
“SILENCE!”
However, with a mighty and furious roar, their master shut them all down. And immediately slammed their heads with his hands, pushing two more of them to bow, while he used his Aura to force the other two to do the same.
“I apologize, sincerely apologize for the misconduct of these foolish disciples of mine! You see, they’re very young and rash! But I will take responsibility for their foolishness.”
He was acting with incredible manners, not something that Maria had ever seen before. Above all, he was asking for forgiveness and even bowing his head in such an elegant way, while somehow still keeping his own majestic aura.
Another being in their situation would have foolishly charged at them and gotten killed pathetically. Yet this old master knew of better ways to handle stronger beings.
Just like in Murim, lick their boots clean!
“Hoh-”
Maria smiled.
