Suddenly, Mazino turned towards his clan.
In his line of sight were one hundred thousand human beings and millions of beasts, orcs, goblins, demons, and other monsters. There were two thousand golems made of lightning and fire elements. In the sky, a black smoke covered a great distance, where one hundred thousand strange creatures were present, all possessing the power of darkness.
"Ding!
The host has reached the second tower... the Tower of Darkness. The embodiment of the Dark King, Yami, has already been achieved," the host announced.
"2021 soldier, this is barely enough to do anything," he continued. "But if everyone is strong enough, we can start the movement."
Everyone knelt on one knee, and silence filled the place. Suddenly, Yami stood up and the mist disappeared around him, revealing his body.
He was tall and slim, but his muscles were prominently defined, almost frighteningly so. He had numerous tattoos all over his body and did not wear anything on the upper part of his body. He had wounds that seemed unhealed, yet there was no blood. Only darkness enveloped him. He wore a strange mask made of an unknown metal, with six eyes, each emitting a terrifying crimson glow. The mask also had teeth forming a peculiar smile from his right ear to his left.
He wore peculiar white pants with strange red patterns. He was a delinquent in every sense of the word.
Yami knelt and said, "My lord, my plan was to make Jaha attack you and then halt the assault. But the shock of the attack was enough to withstand the power of that monk who attacked you in secret."
It seemed that Yami had discovered that the Supreme Monk of the Buddha sect somehow found Mazino's location and launched a spiritual attack. Spiritual attacks were extremely dangerous, so Yami had to resort to this method to force the system into emergency mode. This way, he could protect Mazino, even though Mazino's body would suffer significant damage.
Yami continued with joy on his face, "I didn't expect the Lord to awaken the element of darkness without spiritual nuclei. This is something that has never happened before... even in that era."
Yami spoke in words that Mazino didn't care about, as he was looking in Jaha's direction. "What did you bring with you...?"
"My lord, I found spiritual nuclei specifically for the elements of fire, lightning, and wood... These are the lowest level nuclei for use. There are nuclei for other elements, but it is not advisable to use them to avoid affecting the element's power. The awakening process is crucial," replied Mazino, extending his hand and handing three strangely shaped nuclei to Jaha.
There was a radiant red nucleus that made one feel like it was a ticking time bomb about to explode at any moment. There was a modest green nucleus full of vitality, and a white nucleus with violent sparks of lightning dancing around it.
Mazino took all the nuclei and headed towards the Tower of Darkness. "After a month, we will exterminate the alliance of wings..."
He left behind this sentence and turned towards the Tower of Darkness.
Suddenly, a small rumbling sound echoed throughout the area as a creature the size of a human appeared. Its eyes greatly resembled dragon eyes, and its entire body resembled that of a dragon, but it was strange. This creature had a single horn and six wings. Its color matched Mazino's aura: a dark purple mixed with some red.
The creature leaped into the sky, screaming, announcing its presence to all worlds. In that moment, the army of monsters began to tremble. Every million monsters fell to the ground, and their bodies emitted sounds of agony. Even Boros, the powerful lineage holder, was not an exception. Mazino was perplexed by the situation as he felt a strong connection with this creature—a connection he couldn't comprehend. His eyes widened as he contemplated something.
However, at that moment, Jaha, who was always indifferent, spoke up. "This is impossible... it is definitely impossible... What is this creature? I have never seen this lineage before."
...
....
He has been hailed as a leader among all types of monsters in the world...
However, even this ancient monster did not recognize the lineage of this thing...
"Ding!
The host has obtained a companion...
Name: The Abyss
Lineage: The Noble Vermilion Bird: ??????
Level: Deep Sculpting World, Level 1
Having lost a lot of energy due to forced awakening,
and treating the host's body with life energy..."
Mazino was amazed by the power of this creature. Mazino had pierced through the levels of the Heavenly Spirit Realm when awakening the Dark Element up to Level 5... And beyond the Heavenly Spirit Realm, there is the Deep Sculpting World. This monster is truly powerful, without mentioning its lineage...
...
But what's even more peculiar is the strength of the bond that connects the two. He even sacrificed his life energy to heal Mazino's body...
...
Damn, the companion will be amazing. The bird leaped alongside Mazino and began accompanying him to the Tower of Darkness...
They were already a strange pair indeed...
The Tower of Darkness was completely different from the Hell's Inferno...
There were no cities or monsters or anything... The first floor was solely for meditation and absorbing the element of darkness from the floor...
As your ability in utilizing the element develops, the floor test will automatically appear...
Mazino sat down and began absorbing the nucleus he had obtained directly.
Without repetition, refinement, or any nonsense... The nuclei floated above his head, and the elements' frenzy bombarded his own ocean...
...
The power of the Dark Link increased significantly after awakening the Dark Element. The speed of the black holes' rotation increased, and they began devouring all kinds of energy...
The storage "opened a gift package: breaking into the Heavenly Spirit Realm..."
'Ding!
The host obtained:
--Shard of the Eternal Dark Scripture: ??????????
--2 Level-Earth Intermediate Energy Pills
--Shard of Void Metal... The host currently possesses 2 shards.
It requires at least 4 shards of metal to start the creation process of the special weapon...
...
The host obtained the reward from the First Tower. Do you want to merge the shards of the first part of the Holy Scripture into the origin points of destruction...'
Damn it, I forgot about this matter... The book should have been on his person anyway.
Confirmation...
My head received a massive amount of information...
And Mazino entered a state of attempting to understand this first part of the scripture...
...
After a full month of contemplation, he barely managed to understand the first part...
So how will the other parts be? But wait, this book shouldn't exist in this world...
Ding! The host reached the first part of the Holy Scripture: Origin Points of Destruction...
A book of the forbidden category in the ancient era...
It allows the host to create a point of destruction in the body. Each point of destruction is equivalent to a Dantian in strength and features...
...
The goal of the skill is to ultimately achieve 100 Dantians in one body.
Creator: The Ancestor
Usage conditions: Possessing the lineage of the Royal Catastrophe Race."
...
....
Damn it, this thing defies logic by itself.
The Ancestor again, huh...
So, the only one who used this skill was the Ancestor himself. Now I am the second one who will use the skill...
Hahaha! From here, I can say that the Ancestor, despite all his greatness, was a failure...
With all these skills and abilities... He died forgotten without achieving anything...
...
Well, even though I don't know what happened, judging from his skills, it seems he was a lonely person after all. Hahaha! What a pity...
...
What does it mean to create a skill that no one else can use but yourself...
Damn it, I'm starting to feel some resemblance between us..."
