Chapter 288: Lightning God Tower Part 9

"Why did you get so mad?" Bing Lan walked closer to Mike and asked with concern.

"I wasn't mad. I was simply showing him the reality." Mike shook his head and continued eating his meal. Max had taken Sword Demon away while Bing Lan decided to stay with him.

Bing Lan opened her mouth to say something but nothing came to her mouth. She knew Sword Demon was out of his line. There was no reason to get that aggressive. Both she and Max knew Mike was simply joking with him.

But, it seems Sword Demon couldn't take the joke properly like others.

"Don't worry too much! If he is aware of his position even by a little, he would immediately understand my words. Otherwise, there is no cure to his arrogance." Mike shook his head and distracted her.

She immediately turned her head at the sky and slowly moved closer to him.

"Let me lie down!" She spoke as she puts her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes. Mike continued his meal while sitting still. Now he couldn't access the system either. Since he had nothing to do, he continued eating until he finished all the food.

After finishing his meal, he thought for a moment and puts his head on her head. He also closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep.

Next Morning,

"Yawn! That was a nice sleep." Mike stretched his arm as the ray of light entered his eyes. He looked at his shoulder and saw Bing Lan sleeping soundly. He didn't want to wake her up. So, he decided to wait. But, he wanted to do something else.

So, he focused on Void Law. Unlike other laws, he had the heart method of this law. So, he had a proper guide. All he needs was better concentration so that he can have better control over this law. He has just started on Void Concept. So, he didn't have much experience.

The only way to understand more about the void law would be through a better understanding of the universe inside his mind. He needs to have better control over the spatial coordinates. He kept his eyes closed and concentrated on the Universe inside his Mind.

Unfortunately, his concentration was broken by Bing Lan after half an hour. Even so, this meditation became extremely fruitful, allowing him to have a better understanding of the Void Concept.

"So, are we going to climb to the next floor today?" Bing Lan asked as she separates her head from his shoulder.  Mike nods his head and both of them waited for some time.

After a few minutes, Max and the Sword Demon came. While walking towards him, the Sword Demon couldn't look straight into Mike's eyes. Both of them stood in front of Mike and remained silent for a moment.

"Ahem!" Max cleared his throat and slapped Sword Demon's shoulder.

His action made Sword Demon clench his fist. But, slowly he lets his fist loose and bowed in front of Mike.

"I'm sorry for everything I did yesterday. I was consumed by the thoughts of getting stronger that I made actions that I am ashamed of."

Mike couldn't help but look at Sword Demon with satisfaction. Although he knew why he did that, he didn't want to go deep into such thoughts.

"Let's not think too deep about that. We need to leave this floor and access the next floor." Mike spoke as he stood up. Sword Demon raised his head and looked at Mike with confusion. He thought Mike could make some scene but didn't expect it to this easily.

But, he had to think about something else so he didn't give much thought over it. He straightened his back and nods his head.

"By the way, I used to Ascending to Godhood to level up. Don't ask me how because even I don't much about it. But, the entire world is a mixture of virtual reality and true reality. If you have the helmet, you can access the Ascending to Godhood sever which is also this world."

"But, we haven't brought up our helmet with us." Max and Sword Demon looked at each other shook their heads. Then, they looked at Mike and replied.

"It's okay. Even if you had brought it previously, you won't be able to cultivate it. For now, let's just focus on reaching the higher floor. I have some plans for you guys." Mike shook his hand and walked towards the direction previously pointed by Bing Lan.

He wanted to use his powers to give them spiritual root. But, he must make them his allies. And, he also needs a proper upgrade from his system to communicate with his girls. Following Mike, all four of them reached in front of the blue portal.

Bing Lan nodded her head and walked inside the portal. As they came out of the portal, Mike and others were surprised at themselves under a bright sun. Their eyesight blinded for a moment but it returned soon.

"Let's move on!" Mike thought for a while and started moving as soon as his eyesight returned to normal. He didn't ask Bing Lan about this floor since he knew many things have changed due to the difficulty level.

Mike scanned the surroundings and saw nothing but a deserted land. There was nothing, not even a single piece of grass on the ground. He was surprised by its desolation. But as they moved forward, Mike sensed something moving towards them.

"Duck!" Mike shouted as he crouched down on the ground. Others immediately followed his words as the big rocks fly above them.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Only when those stones fell behind them, everyone stand up and look at the front. It was a giant vulture. But, surprisingly this vulture had the body of a stone. It rose its mouth and condensed a giant piece of rock once again.

At this moment, Sword Demon bursts his sword intent. It condensed into a sword as he leaped on it. His sword soared towards the vulture as he condensed another sword at his right hand.

This sword shone with bright red light. The fiery flames burst out of the sword and condensed around it. Sword Demon thrusts the tip of the sword towards the stone.

Crack! Crack! Bang!

The sword broke the stone into pieces and moved towards the vulture's neck. But the vulture flapped its stone wings. The huge wave of wind smashed against his sword and extinguished the flames. Without the flame, the sword slowly disappeared in mid-air.

But, the vulture's stormy wind didn't stop. It moved towards Sword Demon forcing him to jump down from his sword. Fortunately, he was able to make another sword and land safely on the ground.

"It might have the heavy body but it knows how to take advantage of it. Be careful!" Sword Demon reminded as he looked at Mike.

"Alright!" Mike nodded his head and thought for a moment. His strength has certainly increased and he hasn't used qi properly. He knew this was the time to create something new.

"Alright! Let's try this!"

Mike shouted as he released his qi around him. At the same time, he spreads out his spirits. As he moved his thoughts, he condensed an armor with his qi. The blue armor wasn't much stronger. But when he used the spirit, he separated it into several parts.

The blood spirit condensed at his legs, the fighting spirit condensed at his arms, the slaughter spirit at his mind, the sword spirit in his left hand, and the spear spirit in his right hand. He also condensed the chaotic spirit in his body.

With six spirits surrounding him, the blue armor transformed into dark purple armor.

"Six spirits! When he did learn so many spirits?" Max looked at Mike with awe and asked.

"I don't know but having five of them at Purple Level is amazing. And, what's with that dark spirit. It seems chaotic and powerful." Sword Demon shook his head and muttered.

"That feels like demonic power. Are you sure you guys aren't lying to me?" Bing Lan suspiciously glanced at them while holding her sword. Although she didn't hate demons that much now, she still had that instinct.

"Of course not! I have seen Blood Demon Spirit. If you are talking about the exact demon that I am talking about. Then, that's not your demonic power. That seemed to be much more powerful than the demonic power." Sword Demon shook his head and answered as his pupils narrowed.

"Yeah, this doesn't feel demonic at all. When we face him, you will find the true demon." Max nodded his head as well and spoke. But suddenly, he tilts his head and asked: "By the way, can we call Alkiwon demon?"

"Are you an idiot? They are just aliens in our eyes." Sword Demon looked at Max with contempt in his eyes and snorted.

"I know but I wonder what they are doing right now. It was only during our battle with Blood Demon King, I was able to understand the depth of his powers." Max commented as he remembered more about the battle in his mind.

"He was able to force Blood Demon King to use his innate ability while having the same cultivation as us. He was on a completely different level." Sword Demon clenched his hand as he spoke with frustration appearing in his eyes.

He turned his eyes at Mike. At this moment, Mike activates his Desolate Bloodline and released the blood energy to his hands. One hand held a sword and another hand holds the spear. He gripped them tightly and thrusts them forward.

"Weapon Version: Bull's Thrust!"

Bang!
