You have entered the 16th floor.]
"Ha…"
I took a deep breath as I entered the 16th floor. It was exhausting fighting the armies of the undead. They were endless. Even dropping a teor on them with Gravity magic didn't work.
They sward , I was almost tempted to go into my 'Frost Draconian Form.'
That would have helped, But I want to refrain from using my power when it isn't needed.
I could still take the hordes on.
Strangely enough, the twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth floors were about challenging a horde of these undead who were infected by Shadow.
It was tiring, but I'm glad I could still do it. I just had to spam Wide Area of Effect skills like Glacier etc.
[The 16th trial starts.]
[Before your very eyes stretched a sight both awe-inspiring and haunting. The magnificent city, once a beacon of civilization and grandeur, lay before their eyes, but it was not the city's splendor that captured their attention. Instead, it was the desolation that gripped its walls, streets, and towering spires. The capital of the once mighty empire now lays barren, like a wasteland. Devoid of life.
The walls are endless, the width of the capital city is so wide the end of the walls is not visible to you. Before you leave the massive gate of the city, your mission is to wait for the drawbridge, aged from ti to lower so you can enter the city. The moat surrounding the walls is large and deep, filled with water as black as tar, Survive until the Drawbridge lowers, and also prevent it from being destroyed.]
"So another survival-type challenge huh…"
I muttered as I heard about the contents of the trial from the tower. The challenge seems simple enough. It's not too different from what I was facing a while ago.
I observed the floor. I looked at the walls that stretched high up into the skies, disappearing into dark clouds above.
I looked to the side, and it was true. The walls were truly endless. They stretched as far as I could see.
'The empire was truly prominent eh?'
I thought. For the walls to be so magnificent I can't even dare imagine the prosperity it had in its tis of glory.
"But…"
Suddenly, I ca to a conclusion. I looked at the drawbridge with sharp eyes and thought.
'Can't I just fit in? I don't have to wait for it to lower down fully right?'
It should be possible…right? But the tower should have seen through that. It should have set so rules to block it.
"When is the trial going to start?"
I questioned, half-heartedly expecting the tower to answer back.
I moved to the edge and looked at the moat. It was big enough that it could be considered a river! A river filled with water as black as tar.
I have a feeling that I shouldn't go in there no matter what.
As I was examining the environnt. It suddenly began.
With a tallic sound, the Drawbridge's chanisms were activated and it started to move and I saw it descend…extrely slowly.
I looked behind to find nurous corpses walking out of the mist. Each deford beyond recognition.
The condition of the corpses is worsening as the trials progress…At first, the major features could be figured out but now I don't know…
The undead rushed at , And I responded in kind.
[HEAVENLY SKY SPEAR.]
THIRD MOVENT.
[HEAVENLY REDEMPTION!]
I swung my spear, and a hollow slash shaped like a crescent moon escaped from the spear, barely doing any damage to the undead.
'..?'
I stood still. Genuinely confused.
"What?"
I mouthed…Why was the movent…so weak?
Before I could collect my thoughts, the Undead reached and attacked. The Demonic embrace was strong enough to block their wounds. I hurriedly counterattacked by expelling my frost energy and pushing them away.
I looked at the A-No-Sakahoko and thought.
'Is sothing wrong with you?'
When I gained a mont of respite I checked the information of the A-No-Sakahoko

"What?"
I questioned when I saw that nothing was wrong with the spear.
Then why is it so weak?
[Wall of Frost has been activated!]
I made a large wall of frost between and the Undead, I made sure to make it as wide as possible but the undead would soon break through. These bastards could now spit a corrosive acid!
"Suleras, Lanesha! Is sothing wrong with the spear?"
I asked the Supre dragons. They should be able to see it!
[The Supre Dragon of Chaos Suleras says nothing is wrong with the spear. It is you.]
[Supre Dragon of Frost Lanesha agrees with Suleras.]
What?
Before I could make sense of their words…or at least figure out what was wrong with .
A new threat appeared. The atmosphere changed and I looked at the sky…And saw multiple undead descending from the sky.
"Shit! These guys are coming from the sky now?!"
I cursed as I saw them aiming for the drawbridge. I hurriedly activated my mana and activated [Gravity field] around the drawbridge and repelled the undead that was falling from the sky to the moat below.
The undead on the ground had destroyed the wall and were marching forward steadily.
At this rate, I would be forced into a corner! I can't even activate my wings to fly here because of a restriction!
"Fine…"
I cald down. There is no point in panicking. Although I don't know what is happening to A-No-sakahoko.
I don't really need it to pass this trial.
[Chaotic Vigor has been activated.]
I activated the skill of my armor [Demonic Embrace].
And fired off multiple chaos blasts, laying waste to the horde.
