Chapter 1019 - 421: So Important_3
"Facing it calmly, perhaps it’s as easy as child’s play."
Although Alka had considered this idea before, hearing it again made him sit in place and ponder deeply.
After a long while, he took a deep breath, patted his backside, and stood up.
"If that’s the case, then I’ll head out now to undertake the trial."
"Of course, I hope you can pass it."
Saying this, the instructor vanished from the spot, and Alka left the site, appearing outside the high tower.
As soon as he emerged.
The people resting in the nearby camp stood up to look at him.
"Do you want to rest a bit?"
Alka shook his head and said, "Just as we arranged before, I’ll go through the trial first. If I fail, you all can train a bit more before attempting the trial."
Initially, Alka did not expect to pass the trial with 100% certainty.
As the instructor said, ordinary trials are just for progress, and growth counts as success.
Because the essence of the Tower of Trial ultimately depends on strength.
Just like how Juanlu and Matilda acquired treasures that way.
The trial would surely challenge them at the end, pushing them to break through their limits, but fundamentally strength is the base requirement.
But the final stage of passing the trial is different; it specifically targets weaknesses, those they least wish to confront to pass through.
So they had already prepared a plan.
Use Alka to attempt the first trial, and if that doesn’t work, then rotate to Chadite, continuing this way until someone passes the trial.
Even if Alka can’t pass, he could at least achieve a sense of progress. And obtain a Holy Grail Level treasure.
With the preparations complete, Alka stood on the teleportation platform.
He didn’t need any form of validation, as he was an apostle of the Divine, coupled with the Dream Realm King’s identity, he directly initiated the trial on the other side.
His entire being disappeared from the spot.
He then appeared in a hall similar to before, with the door marked with a number one in front of him.
...
The trials ahead still mainly focused on strength. With Alka’s strength, he could easily crush through, facing no difficulty at all.
The entire difficulty of the trial was concentrated in the last few levels, and the real challenge began where the few levels matched Alka’s strength.
As the 7th level was pushed open.
Slight wounds appeared on Alka’s body.
Yet he still managed to suppress them through sheer strength. When he entered the hall, all his exhaustion and loss of magic power were fully restored.
Renewed, he looked at the door with the number eight in front of him, took a deep breath, and pushed it open.
It didn’t take long, maybe just a few hours.
Alka, covered in wounds, pushed his way in from the door.
His body was covered with injuries, with significant loss of stamina and magic power, putting him in a somewhat dangerous condition.
However, he managed to pass this level. When he stepped into the hall, his body was once again renewed.
The Tower of Trial doesn’t fail to perfectly target weaknesses.
Just now, he encountered a bizarre spiritual body, whose perception was absurdly exaggerated.
The entire scene was set in a space entirely fixed, aimed directly at Alka’s main tactics, forcing him into combat where he was weak.
Even though his mental and physical states were fully restored, Alka took time to rest and relax in the hall before looking towards the final door labeled nine.
After a while, Alka finally approached the door.
He took a deep breath and pushed open the door.
A white light flashed.
Alka lost consciousness.
At the same time, on the other side.
In a peculiar hidden space.
"I can’t understand, is there something wrong with the Tower of Trial?" The being responsible for operating the Tower of Trial in the Divine Hall of Trial was frantically busy.
"Lamadari, where the hell are you? Get over here quickly!"
Shouts echoed endlessly in the hall.
Soon, a figure quickly ran over.
If Alka were here, he’d recognize this figure as the male instructor who had been teaching him all along.
"What’s wrong? Has something happened?"
This individual, seemingly the main figure of the hall, was an energy lifeform, though visibly shifting its appearance to a human form.
With a stern face, he pointed to the crystal blocks in front of him.
The crystal appeared to be flickering with a faint red glow, surrounded by a total of 12 such crystal blocks.
These floating crystal blocks clearly corresponded to 12 scattered Towers of Trial.
"The tower corresponding to this crystal block, didn’t you recently carry out training inside?"
Lamadari nodded: "Yes, didn’t I just tell you that?"
"And the trial taker you assigned the task to, is he not undergoing the trial?"
"Indeed, by my calculations, he should almost be at the top level by now, right?"
"No, he’s already at the top level."
"Oh, very quick indeed, that young man." Lamadari’s face broke into a smile.
The trial taker he trained being so powerful, it reflected positively on him, much like a teacher taking pride in a successful student.
However, Lamadari also noticed the issue at hand, the red flicker of the crystal corresponding to Alka’s trial tower. It indicated the tower was overloaded, or that some problem had arisen.
"What is going on, how could there be a problem?"
Such a situation had never appeared before.
The central figure stated straightforwardly, "It’s simple, the targeted trial being conducted by the Tower of Trial appears to be slightly overambitious for this trial taker."
"Overambitious? Are you talking about the Tower of Trial?" This statement left Lamadari a bit dumbfounded.
The Tower of Trial being overambitious.
What on earth is going on?
Are you underestimating the design and power contributed by the Divine, or are you belittling those who invested a massive amount of time and effort building the 12 Towers of Trial?
Though this is merely one of the 12, although they are not congregated, and power isn’t fully exerted.
But it’s still a divine creation.
"Does your trial taker possess some extraordinary identity?"
Upon hearing this, Lamadari nodded: "Indeed, if the most precious identity should be mentioned, it’s perhaps that he is the newly born Dream Realm King.
And he seems to have devoured a Divine Fragment of a powerful Dream Realm God."
Lamadari suddenly remembered something, slapped his head, and added, "I think he mentioned he’s already constructed his own Royal Court."
"Oh my, oh my!"
The Controller, known for their steady disposition, almost exploded with this, shouting.
Instantly transforming from a human shape to an energy form, wildly fluctuating.
"Do you know what the content of his trial is?"
"How would I know, we can’t control the trials, everything operates according to the tower and world rules."
That’s akin to a natural phenomenon of the world.
"Then let me tell you what the theme is, it’s a dream!"
"..."
With those words, the whole place fell silent.
That is to say, their Tower of Trial was about to create a dream trial for a Dream Realm King, and a fairly complete type at that.
Great, just great.
Suddenly, they were at a loss for words, finally understanding why it was said the Tower of Trial was overambitious.
Even though it’s a divine creation, it’s still part of a whole system.
And moreover, a scattered part.
The trial involves various aspects, but it can’t excel in all of them.
A Dream Realm King, whose weakest and least willing-to-face aspects require a dream.
No doubt a scenario one would prefer not to face, or one filled with regret and sorrow.
Typical Dream Realm Kings aren’t natural beings, they are spiritual bodies, such conditions shouldn’t exist.
But Alka and the others were somewhat different.
A human Dream King.
The only one of its kind.
Now the question arises, wouldn’t such a trial be easily seen through by a Dream Realm King?
The trial’s significance would be lost.
That’s something they couldn’t accept.
"So! Now! All of you, drop whatever you’re doing, and use your energy to strive to maintain this."
With this, he started reallocating from the other 11 Towers of Trial, temporarily shutting them down. Directing the entire energy of the Divine Hall into this single Tower of Trial.
It’s not to make things difficult for Alka, but to preserve the meaning of the trial.
This is what they’ve always pursued.
To ensure Alka’s trial proceeds steadily.
At least to prevent Alka from easily seeing through the trial using his Dream Realm King’s identity.
