Chapter 847: The Tower of Remorse

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Tower of Remorse was King of Pantheon’s second Ancient Dungeon Map and this dungeon was unique for its completely random mazes. It was different each time one entered. Even if it was entered a thousand times, a thousand different mazes were presented each time.

Due to the ever-changing mazes, there was no fixed clearing method. At each entry, observation of the maze’s environment was key in deducting one’s way out.

The Tower of Remorse had a total of 100 levels. The first 99 floors varied randomly and only the last floor remained unchanged. Once players accepted Legends of Ancient Heroes… Quested and killed the boss on the final floor, they would obtain a Class Change Certificate. By returning and handing this to a Class Mentor, the player could then successfully change class.

To clear all 100 floors of the Tower of Remorse was not an easy feat. This was plain to see from Ancient Dungeon Deathwing. Anything related to the word Ancient was just beyond madness.

The Tower of Remorse might be a dungeon map but its nature was similar to large-scale dungeons such as Light and Darkness expansion pack. Players were free to choose between forming parties or going solo but they would encounter other players within the tower.

The entrance of the Tower of Remorse was a bulletin where players could check on the present frontrunners in climbing the tower.

Li Yi brought the women to the Tower of Remorse and prior to entering, he looked to see who were leading in the Tower. In the first place were the Ninth Continent’s new Castellan, Infinite Insanity, Unending Unmatched, Confused Fox, Flower Underpants, and Nirvana Inaction. This party of five were on the 39th floor.

Second place was taken by Wang Wang Dumplings, Brother Windcloud Nine, Sister Windcloud Nine, Windcloud Killer, etc… A party of twenty-five teaming up at the 38th floor.

The third place was on the 35th floor and was a party led by the popular Fluttering Snow Alliance’s Bai Xiaoya. The fourth place, also at the 35th floor, was established by Assembled Gods Guild’s Amber Sword Heart’s team.

Li Yi could not be any better with the first two spots occupied by his former alliance pals. During his long reign in Iron Alliance, these originally awesome characters had been overshadowed and paled in comparison to his brilliance.

People like Infinite Insanity, Mad Dragon, Unending Unmatched, etc were influential characters. However, Li Yi’s outstanding performance had made many assumed them to be empty heads and their position as Castellans or the country’s Officials were merely favors given by Li Yi.

Li Yi never took them to be subordinates but always treated them as friends. Therefore, he wanted these guys to flaunt a little and prove that they were not riding on coattails but rather their own capabilities.

Quitting Iron Alliance and not mustering his former men, allowing them to grow on their own was a decision Li Yi has long considered.

Only then, would they be able to display their true standard and become the supreme experts among the ranks of the God Wars in the past life.

How could a child who was always protected truly grow?

Jiaojiao asked, “Lil Yi’zi, do we want to party with a few more?”

“Yes, let’s first party up twenty five people!”

Li Yi formed a party and selected the option for party members to freely join.

In just 1 minute, his party was full. None of them were familiar faces and were all random players…

Qian’er did not understand, “Why form a casual party?”

“We kinda need a few people to path the way for traps. Big-tits Qian, if you’re not afraid of death, we don’t have to party with other people, you can path the way for traps.”

“Bah, I’m a Wizard, I’ll be behind.”

Qian’er crossed her arms over her chest and hid behind Fire Ice.

“Wow, wow, Continent’s No. 1 Archer God, it really is him…”

“I’m so excited, I’m in the same party with the Continent’s No. 1 Archer God. Oh wise expert, can we add as friends?”

“Brother-brother Dark-dark, add-add me-me. I’m-I’m a-a Light-light Priest-priest.”

A Dwarf Priestess, hot with emotions, was hopping around Li Yi, doubling her words in speech.

This was not a strange scene to find. With the level of influence King of Pantheon was at, Li Yi has reached celebrity status. Major celebrity Xu Man had fans, so did he and his fans were a dozen times more than Xu Man’s.

“Add you all, I’m adding you all…”

Li Yi accepted all friend requests that came his way.

With a party of twenty five formed, Li Yi did not give any pep talk before battle and led the party straight into the Tower of Remorse.

The first floor of the Tower of Remorse was guarded by a bunch of undead skeletons. These skeletons were at Level 180 and were 300 in numbers. This floor could only be cleared if all of them were crushed at the same time.

“Come, come play the game. Kill them, kill them…”

A spirit in a red robe, suspending midair, let out a roar of laughter before disappearing.

This thing was the gatekeeper of the Tower of Remorse, appearing in almost every floor. In the first 99 floors, its main role was to help repair players’ equipment but the going rate… Was ten times more than merchants in the city.

The first floor was not a maze and was only inhabited by skeletons. They all had to be killed to venture into the next floor and if these skeletons could not be killed all at once, they would continue to resurrect, making the task difficult.

As the first floor was an independent dungeon space, other players would not be encountered here.

These 300 skeletons were scattered around at the start, so killing them during this time was unwise. The correct way of playing was to first kite them together before unleashing an AoE attack to demolish them.

The three main tanks in the party proactively took their places, kiting these skeletons from different directions. Li Yi and others with DPS held their horses and gathered in the center to wait.

The first floor was the easiest stage. Although half of Li Yi’s party were random players, they had all played this dungeon before and knew what to do, saving Li Yi a couple of breaths in explanation.

The three main tanks in the party may not have techniques equal to Unending Unmatched or Infinite Insanity, but they did not have trouble kiting these skeletons into a bunch. Twenty seconds laters, 300 skeletons were rounded up together for a group kill.

“Fight!”

“Bp Bp bp bp…”

“Wham wham wham!”

At Li Yi’s order, the DPS players released their AoE skills and in less than ten seconds, all 300 skeletons were finished off.

With that, the red-robed spirit appeared and nodded, opening a teleportation door.

“Mm… You seem strong enough. This is your reward, continue your journey.”

One Silver Coin fell out of the red-robed spirit’s hand. This was the reward for clearing the Tower of Remorse’s first floor.

“Hehehe, hahaha, this is only the appetizer. From the second floor onwards, you will experience the fear of death. My little friends, if you’re scared, you should leave here now…” The red-robed spirit blabbered a bunch of nonsense before disappearing from the sky.

“Let’s go!”

Li Yi waved his arm and led the way into the teleportation door opened by the red-robed spirit.

System Notification: [You’ve entered the second floor of the Tower of Remorse.]

With a white light flashing before their eyes, Li Yi appeared within a huge maze.

It was a sight to behold as countless bends and curves presented before him. The pathway beneath was a bottomless abyss and one false step would lead to death.

The party of twenty five were separated, not knowing whether the others were teleported in together. Li Yi only knew that there was not a teammate visibly in sight.

The voice of the red spirit echoed in the air, “Your mission is to collect Red Wraith Crystals. I will release you to the third floor once you have gathered a hundred of them…”

The walkways in the maze were filled with Red Wraiths, Green Wraiths and Black Wraiths. By killing them, Wraith Crystals of the corresponding color would be dropped.

The quest given by the red spirit was to collect Red Wraith Crystals. This meant that Li Yi’s party could only kill Red Wraiths while boldly killing the other two wraiths would land them in hot water.

However, with three types of wraiths on the move, killing the correct target proved to be quite a task.

“Those who can hit, kill, those who can’t, hold and wait for orders!”

Li Yi shouted in the Party Channel.

The party of twenty five had to collect all 100 crystals to pass the stage. Classes like healers were slow in attack and could not go solo on monsters. Mistakes were bound to happen if they were to attack on their own accord so it was best if they standby and awaited for orders to teleport to the next floor.

Li Yi summoned Dolly and whether she liked it or not, Li Yi tossed a Mislead over her before shooting a Red Wraith in a distance.

After a Mislead and Pseudocide act, the Red Wraith charged up in fury. By it, were its buddies, Green and Black Wraiths that were unaffected.

Archers had unparalleled skills in going solo and taking on a small fry like Red Wraith was easy peasy for Li Yi.

The triple-colored wraiths had the same amount of HP, ranging around 10 million. Even for Li Yi, without unleashing major skills, needed to fire up dozens of arrows before he could eliminate one.

Soon, the Red Wraiths died under the attack of Li Yi and Dolly, dropping three Red Wraith Crystals.

Li Yi transformed into a Lightning Leopard, shifting past Green and Black Wraiths in Stealth while opting for Mislead and Pseudocide to single out Red Wraiths.

When Li Yi was on his fifth Red Wraith, he finally caught glimpse of a teammate. It was the Dwarf Light Priestess from earlier who was speaking in double words. She was wielding her staff and in battle with a Black Wraith.

The Dwarf Priestess was moving in steady flow, running while fighting, keeping a certain distance from the Black Wraith, kiting it along.

Li Yi quickly shouted, ” Don’t hit that Black Wraith!”

“Why-w…”

“Wham!”

Before the Dwarf Priestess could finish, the Black Wraith accelerated towards her, embracing her with open arms as it activated self combustion.

With curls of black smoke rising, the Dwarf Priestess lay flat on the ground.

The Black Wraith carried 10 million HP and the damage from its self demolition was also 10 million. How could the Dwarf Priestess defend against it with her less than 200 thousand HP?

Instant death in one move!

“So-sorry-rry… It’s-it’s not-not my-my inten-inten…”

The Dwarf Priestess apologized to Li Yi with her body limp on the ground.

Li Yi walked ahead and retrieved a Cardiac Pacemaker to place on her chest.

Szh szh…

At the flash of a powerful current, the Dwarf Priestess erected stiff.
