Chapter 137 Tower Exploration (2)

The humans inside the Skyfall Tower needed time to realize what had happened and digest all of the information. A few of them went to the library area the spirit talked about, and sure thing, everything the spirit said was there, and nothing more.

"Should we explore or not?" Alanna asked.

Most of the humans there were confused and scared, but Damian? He was excited about it! It reminded him of things one would find in games, and he was eager to climb to the highest level or be the fastest, shocking the world and getting rewards!

"Well, I will go check it out, and you can come with me or leave if you don't want to, but all of you want to get stronger, right? And this is the perfect opportunity. I can already see people on Earth paying more for those who have climbed higher!"

When Damian said that, it made the girls realize that the Skyfall Tower would virtually change the world and how organizations saw superhumans. Some superhumans said they have delved into X level of the dungeon. There was no way to prove it and no way for the contractors to know if it was true or not.

But the Skyfall Tower? People would have their names on the rankings, and the ring would have a specific color, meaning the organizations could see the power of the superhuman in question without questioning whether it was true.

Lucy was the first to talk, "Alanna, sis, let's go with him! Exploring it first in a group rather than going alone."

It was not only them, but most who had gone there with their friends or party members thought the same. Only the lone wolves went alone because there was no other choice.

Damian and the girls then moved toward the staircase to the tower's first floor. The barrier that blocked anyone's passage had vanished, and people started going up.

Like all the other things in the tower, the stair itself was gigantic, simultaneously allowing multiple people to pass. Damian could feel a pressure on his body the moment he stepped on that stair, and everyone else felt the same way.

But he and the girls kept going, enduring the pressure that grew more powerful after each step.

"Ahhh," a person yelled, rolling off the stair, unable to endure the pressure.

'But the pressure is still weak. How weak was that person?' Damian asked himself.

The staircase looked endless, and the more Damian climbed, the more pressure his body felt. It started to reach a point that even Alanna, Lucy, and Luna felt it hindering their steps.

As for the people who could not endure the pressure? Some fell from the stair but were alive; others returned the same way they climbed. It was like a test to see if someone had enough strength to go to the next floor.

'Whoever created this tower tried its best to diminish the casualties. It's probably dangerous in the floors, so this pressure is to send away the weak who would not survive.'

The pressure tested the power of their bodies, which was an essential tool to any superhuman, be it someone with an enhancing body ability or not. It was the core, and no matter what your ability, a superhuman's body only grew more powerful as they trained, like beasts.

It was not a deciding factor in battle because some with incredible powers and control of their abilities could have a weaker body than someone else yet win the fight the same way.

But it was still important, and the tower's creator knew it. What waited for them at the end of the staircase was a portal, another one. Whoever could reach the end of the stairs went inside the portal without thinking. Damian did the same.

Alanna, Lucy, and Luna also managed to reach that, setting them apart from other humans who could not even reach that point. They went inside, following Damian closely behind.

Damian expected to see all the others who passed through the portal there, yet there was no one. What awaited them was a place that resembled more of a dungeon than the dungeon itself! It was a dungeon straight from old-school games, with everything being dark, corridors, traps, and all sorts of things.

"Where are the others?" Alanna asked.

"I think each person goes to a specific location on the tower floor, but why did we teleport together?"

"Could the tower know we are a group?"

"No idea," Damian said.

The most plausible idea was that each person who went through the portal was sent to a random location on the tower floor. The goal was to survive against the other superhumans and whatever monsters or other dangers were inside.

"Let's move with caution."

The girls nodded, and they moved together through the tunnel. It only took a few steps before a trap activated suddenly, and a wall appeared behind Damian, cutting him off from the other girls.

"Heyy!" Damian screamed, hitting the wall, yet nothing happened.

"We are okay, but I don't think we can reunite again, at least not from this position. We'll go the other way, and perhaps we can meet again. Be careful, Damian," Alanna said.

They couldn't reunite then, so Damian focused on what he could do to avoid other traps and be more careful of his surrounding area.

Damian turned again and continued moving forward through the only corridor available. This time, his feet were not touching the ground, as his ability allowed him to float. He also created a mask using his Slime Ring and changed his clothing to darker, looking more like a member of The Dawn.

'Looking scary and mysterious may have its benefits once I encounter another human in this place.'

The corridor continued until Damian saw a wooden door looking like a medieval one; opening it, and on the other side was an open room with pillars holding the ceiling.

'What's this?'

Damian saw nothing at first, but at the end of the open room, in the darker areas where there was no light, a creature came out of it. A massive dog with two heads!

The size alone would make anyone tremble, but there was a plus: the dog could breathe fire!
