Shiva reappeared in a dark room...he could not even say that it was a room since he was not able to see its starting or its end.
"Is anyone here, Kapali can you hear me, hello?"
[Welcome to the Trail grounds of the Tower of Ruins]
[The Tower greets the new Challenger]
"That's a warm welcome for someone who is locked in a dark room"
[The Tower is opening your records]
[The tower pity's at your past]
[The tower is feeling complicated at your past actions and behaviours]
[The tower is finding a suitable challenge for you]
[The tower gives you the challenge of death]
[Challenge of Death:-
Fight until you give up, against the endless enemies, the more you endure the more will be the rewards.
objective:-Defeat 5 enemies to become a climber.
objective:- Any stat you choose will be given as a reward according to the level of challenge]
[Choose a stat]
"Is it a question to ask, I will choose intelligence"
Of course, the more the intelligence, the more will be the number of skeletons, the more will be the use of spells and the stronger he will become.
[Intelligence was chosen as a reward stat]
[The first monster will appear after one minute]
He sat down and summoned all his skeletons along with kapali who had disappeared after coming here, for the more skeletons he summons, the greater will be the effect of 'Undead Confederate ', currently, his health and mana was regeneration at an additional 13% speed,(Due to 12 skeletons and kapali who was with him when entering).
[The first monster has appeared, you have 15 minutes to defeat it]
The first monster to appear was of course a goblin, but it was quite special, it had the shield and armour with a sword in its hand,
As soon as it appeared it charged at him but the poor goblin was met with the metallic bat of orc skeleton collapsing on the ground, it was not dead yet, but it was powerless against the orc skeletons. As the big skeleton was going to deal death blow shiva stopped it.
"There is no reason to make it quick, our goal is to walk farther not fast, Let rest for remaining time and kill it when time is about to end"
"As expected from my liege "
Shiva's plan was simple, he was recovering 65+9 mana per minute in 15 min he will recover 1110 mana and on top of that with the additional stat reward, he can summon the monster he killed all while saving some mana to cast spells,
as the time came near the end he killed the monster on the ground.
[You have defeated the 1st monster, goblin]
[Intelligence+ 1]
[The next monster will appear after 1 minute]
He sat down, every second would matter if he want to obtain as many rewards as possible,
after one minute the same message rang,
[The second monster has appeared, you have 15 minutes to defeat it]
This time it was a high orc with a massive club.
the previously killed skeleton was standing by his side now, he looked at the orc for a second and sat down again, he knew one thing that his skeletons are enough for that guy, the same thing repeated,
and the orc met its end after 15 minutes,
[You have defeated the 2nd monster, Orc]
[Intelligence+ 2]
[The next monster will appear after 1 minute]
.
.
.
This continued until the 5th monster.
[You have defeated the 3rd monster, giant rat]
[Intelligence+ 3]
[The next monster will appear after 1 minute]
.
.
[You have defeated the 4th monster, red-tailed fox]
[Intelligence+ 4]
[The next monster will appear after 1 minute]
the next monster to appear didn't show itself, as soon as it was summoned with a flash it was gone,
and with a thud, a skeleton fell to the ground.
'It's fast'
he was analysing the situation as to whether join the fight or not,
He got and looked at kapali, he was calm, not a bit of frustration or anything(I don't know how he can see the expression of the skeleton in the first place :-| )
"Kapali"
He called his loyal servant,
"Understood master"
no words were needed, Kapali took the sword from the goblin skeleton and looked towards one of the skeleton orcs, no rather he looked at its shadow,
dark energy started covering the sword and with swift movements, he released his skill 'Death slash'
On detecting the incoming attack, the monster hiding in the shadow tried to move aside but was too late, its whole body was sliced into two,
[You have defeated the 5th monster, Shadow wolf]
[Intelligence+ 5]
[You have completed 5 rounds, do you want to end the trail here or move to the next round]
"I am not going miss the free stats from here, let's continue"
Who in the right mind would quite here, all he has to do was sit leisure l and summon the dead monsters like skeletons, his summons will do all the beating and his loyal servant was beside him, was there anything more comfortable and getting stronger while watching them fight while sitting like watching a movie in PVR.
[The trail will continue]
[The next monster will appear after 1 minute]
the system was as cold as ever,
Shiva looked at the shadow wolf and summoned it as a skeleton, it was rather cute...anyway he knew that the difficulty will rise drastically from here on since two of the skeletons were destroyed in the fifth round, the sixth battel will not be any easy.
He use Reanimate to resummon the two destroyed skeletons and warned every Skelton to watch out for surprise attacks,
it was time for the appearance of the next monster
The next monster appeared after one minute, but this time, it didn't attack or hide, it calmly looked around and seemed like evaluating its situation.
As the appearance of the monster came to view, he felt a sharp pain in his head,
it was not the monster he expected, he was not even sure if it's a monster,
what came as the sixth monster was...
it was a human.!
