As everyone proceeded towards the Crystal Tower, Liao Yu casually reported the progress here to Ye Hanlei. The other party simply replied to be extra careful. After all, for now, only Feng Yuan’s team was the fastest; the teams for the other two towers were still advancing towards the Crystal Tower.
Stepping into the Crystal Tower, the interior, whether the walls, the floor, or the ceiling, were all processed into mirror surfaces, with countless figures flickering within. Feng Yuan rubbed his brow and said,
"This place really makes one dizzy."
"Use spiritual power to navigate. Qi Chen, let your Beast Tar companions guide you, don’t force it."
Agunas flicked its tail and said with eyes closed. Walking in this Mirror Surface Space, even Huo Feng felt dizzy. Veronia scanned the surroundings with spiritual power while keeping her eyes shut and said,
"This is quite a spacious square area. Even the stairs are covered in mirror surfaces? Truly strange."
"Be careful, who knows if there are any weird chanisms here."
With a word of caution, Feng Yuan randomly pulled out a cloth strip to cover his eyes. Although the Mirror Surface Space didn’t affect him too much, he didn’t want to be influenced by it. Fortunately, within spiritual power, there was no phenonon of mirror reflection. Tan Xueluo and Wu Dingwu, although trying to tough it out, soon discovered they couldn’t discern their location and had to ride on their Beast Tar companions.
"Wu Dingwu, let your and Tan Xueluo’s Beast Tars stop those things."
As the group advanced, crystal constructs floated out of the mirrors. These crystal constructs reflected the surrounding light, together with this Mirror Space, causing serious interference for those observing with the naked eye and Spirit Beasts. Little Ice Cream lay atop Big Cat’s head, eyes shut, not daring to move as its spiritual strength was slightly weaker, unable to see the surroundings clearly.
Big Cat whimpered, flapping its wings. Adventurers from the ga materialized by it. Then Big Cat seed to rember sothing and whimpered. A figure dressed as a priest pointed with a scepter, and a beam of light shot out from it, reflecting continuously among the mirrors. Seeing this, Feng Yuan paused in surprise and quickly summoned a shield to protect himself and Xiao Ji.
Agunas waved a Little Claw to raise a Rune Stone Barrier that enveloped everyone and couldn’t help reproaching Big Cat:
"Don’t ss around! The situation is unclear, you..."
The continuously reflecting light, for so reason, kept intensifying. The entire Mirror Space was gradually enveloped by the refracting light, and those crystal constructs seed to have a high resistance to light attacks. When the light hit them, it was reflected again by their mirror-like surfaces.
At this mont, an adventurer outside the Rune Stone Barrier was hit by the light. The seemingly harmless light instantly shattered the adventurer summoned by Big Cat into data fragnts. Seeing this, Feng Yuan said,
"Hurry, let’s go!"
"It’s too late! Veronia! Use the Mirror Realm!"
Noticing the rapid increase in light intensity, Agunas shouted. Veronia didn’t hesitate and yelled,
"Don’t resist!"
The World of Mirrors activated, and Veronia pulled Qi Chen and the others into the World of Mirrors. At this mont, the Mirror Surface Space was already near its limit. Feng Yuan unfurled black wings behind him to shield himself, grabbing Xiao Ji into his arms. The next mont, the Mirror Space could no longer be sustained, and the continuous roar of explosions crashed the shockwave upon the Barrier.
Amidst the explosion, the crystal constructs were the first to be destroyed, followed by the mirrored walls. Through the perception of spiritual power, the surrounding walls were constantly blown into small fragnts.
"Run!"
The ground beneath shook continuously. Feng Yuan shouted loudly, holding Xiao Ji as he ran towards the tunnel entrance in the distance. At this ti, the Mirror Space was gradually collapsing. With the explosions, stones continuously fell, the ground cracking and threatening to cave in at any mont.
Running, Agunas opened its eyes, seeing the blinding path ahead before closing its eyes again, rubbing its eyes with a Little Claw and saying,
"Don’t open your eyes, there’s sothing wrong with that tunnel!"
Though puzzled, Feng Yuan, because of the cloth over his eyes, couldn’t see what was happening.
Veronia squinted at the front, instantly understanding the situation. Entering the passage, the tremors hadn’t stopped. Yet Veronia released the others, and at this mont, Liao Yu, who hadn’t closed his eyes in ti, was stung by the bright light, covering his eyes and shouting,
"What the hell just happened?"
"The space we were just in overloaded and collapsed, we..."
Quickly explaining what had happened earlier, Agunas discontentedly said to Veronia,
"You released them so early, did you want them to escape with us?"
"I’m not that bored. Just look at what’s in front."
"This is... an ID card issuing place? What does this an?"
Noticing the strange device ahead, Agunas said in surprise. Veronia closed her eyes, ready to attack, and said,
"I don’t know, let’s go, the passage is unstable. If we don’t leave quickly, we might face danger."
The ground continued to vibrate, with shattered glass pieces occasionally falling. Under the guidance of their Beast Tars, they reached in front of the ID card issuing machine. At this ti, it suddenly spat out a strange digital pixelated smiling face and with a series of beeping sounds, IDs flew out, landing on the wrists of everyone, turning into a bracelet.
"Tsk, hope it’s not a bomb that could explode anyti. Don’t tell it’s a battle royale scenario following this. Then I might have no choice but to violently take down the tower~"
Clutching the black Ancient Book, Feng Yuan seed eager. As for whether to continue following the opponent’s rules? Forget it, he wouldn’t harm his friends for such a thing. Even if they might only get injured, he wasn’t willing.
"Hope it’s not..."
Agunas flicked its tail, muttering under its breath. Even it couldn’t be sure what the situation behind the door was. At this point, the door opened slowly. Though the tremors had subsided here, they still stepped inside.
"Could it be a divided hunt? Though not the worst case, it’s not all that great either."
Using Divine Sense to scan the screen ahead, Feng Yuan muttered speechlessly. This area remained bathed in light. If they acted separately, he wasn’t worried about Liao Yu, but Qi Chen and the others were another matter. As for replacing them in action? That couldn’t work; the rules above were very strict.
Just as Feng Yuan hesitated over whether to take action, the screen suddenly changed.
『This is the final round~ Don’t you trust your friends~』
"Who are you! What is your purpose!"
Feng Yuan whispered angrily, using Divine Sense to roughly scour the surroundings. But besides the crystalline walls, there was nothing special.
『I am a secret～』
『Just see it as a ga～』
『A normal real-life ga with revivals～』
"Ga? Hah, a ga held without asking if others are willing?!"
『Actually, weren’t you indifferent yourself all along? As long as it suits you, right? So what right do you have to criticize ?』
『If you win, I will naturally tell you how to return to the normal space. Don’t think about breaking free violently. This world cannot withstand such a powerful force.』
The last word lingered for three seconds before all text slowly vanished. Watching the screen that darkened completely, Feng Yuan’s face was solemn; this thing...
Agunas flicked its tail and said,
"This malicious character, is this an external one?"
"Obviously, not only external but also very special. At the very least, its power far surpasses ours in this world. Otherwise, it wouldn’t dare say such things. But, returning to normal space? Isn’t the condition just to break all the Crystal Towers?"
"Apparently not. If destruction through force occurs, what he ntioned might happen... Qi Chen... be careful."
With one hand on Xiao Ji’s head, Feng Yuan murmured. Qi Chen, with eyes closed, couldn’t see Feng Yuan’s expression but still nodded, saying,
"Understood!"
"I hope this ends soon."
Sighing, Liao Yu said with a headache. Though it seed there hadn’t been any life-threatening crises along the way, this matter was evidently quite troubleso, involving crises in many cities. Can it indeed be so easily resolved? Moreover, why did the opponent target Feng Yuan? He couldn’t figure it out.
