Right at that very moment, a voice sounded from his side, causing him to look away from her and turn around to look at Leilani.

"Planet Aurian, it sounds like a dream come true!" Leilani said, hoping to one day visit it with her lover.

From the dreamy look on her face, Vincent could tell what she was thinking.

"If we have time, then I will make it possible." Iris suddenly said.

Vincent, John, and Nevis knew that Iris could make it possible as she came from the twilight temple, but the first one couldn't indulge in such happiness as he wanted to take revenge; the second one wanted to follow his idol, who was Vincent; the third one wanted to make a name for himself in the military as that was the fastest way to prove his family how wrong they were to treat him unkindly and unfairly.

After Melody finished eating, she licked her lips and then said, "Umm, thank you for the meal. It was wonderful."

Varth smiled slightly behind his mask, feeling good to have finally received her appreciation.

"She ate all of that?!" Nevis's eyes widened like saucers.

The piece of meat she devoured was the same size as her body, so how was she able to fit all of it inside her belly?!

Simply inconceivable!

Nevis's mortal mind couldn't comprehend it!

"How can her tiny belly contain all of it?" John said in a low voice filled with traces of bewilderment.

Nevis moved his face to look at John in the eyes before saying, "Maybe her tummy is actually a spatial storage device?

"Don't be so silly," Iris said.

"…" Vincent and Leilani looked at the kids arguing with each other in silence.

"Fairy, we're ready to challenge the last trial, so please open the portal leading to that place," Varth said after a few moments.

"Are you guys sure?"

Vincent stood up and gave her a nod. John, Leilani, and the others also gave her consent.

Melody raised her tiny hands, and in the very next second, a large amount of black energy surged out of her palm, swirling in mid-air and expanding into an oval shape taking the form of a portal out of which a heavy suction force burst out.

The portal instantly sucked Leilani, John, and the others inside of it. Although Vincent had the strength to resist, he didn't put up even a single ounce of resistance and let it take him too.

The figure of the fairy blurred before she vanished. At the same time, the portal also closed, spatial ripples gently spreading in the hall, meeting nothing but emptiness.

Their senses dulled when they entered the portal and felt a bit sluggish, but by the time they recovered from these side effects, they found themselves near a tower whose peak thrust towards the pink clouds in the dusky sky.

While most of them were gawking at it and some were looking for clues, the fairy appeared in front of them.

"Does this tower have something to do with the last trial?" Varth asked.

She raised her hand and pointed it at the tower, saying the following words right after, "This is the Monster Tower, a manifestation of my master power. It's her ability kingdom! I bet you guys are already excited but what's to come is even more exciting."

'I bet it's exciting only for her and bad news for us,' Vincent thought in his mind, wordlessly standing on his spot.

She continued, "This tower has a total of 31 floors, and on the first floor, you'll fight a monster that is more or less around your evolutionary stage. The twist is that the number of monsters on the second floor will be double that of the first floor, and so on until the thirtieth floor. Every time you kill a monster, you'll gain ten points, and you'll pass and gain the right to enter the treasury if you manage to earn 100 points.

"If you've any confusion related to this trial, now's the time to ask away since I'm willing to clarify it."

John raised his hand, pointed at the tablet with ten names on it floating above the entrance to the monster tower, and asked, "What's that?"

"That's the scoreboard that only records the names of the people that manage to earn the highest points in the monster tower. The minimum threshold is 3000 points."

Vincent looked at the scoreboard and found out the names and the total points of the challengers.

1: Mr. Joker (0)

2: Emperor of Might (4650)

3: Nights Knows All (3780)

4: TRV (3200)

5: Disciple of the heatless blade and the joyful sword (3000)

6: No Name (20000)

"Are there any benefits of breaking the records?" Varth asked while looking at Melody.

"If you break into the top ten names of the scoreboard, I will allow you to take two treasures away from his place," Melody answered.

"Hey, what about the 31st floor?" Vincent said, "How many monsters would we be facing in that place?"

"Not telling, not telling." She shook her hands, refusing to say a single word about the secrets of the 31st floor.

"Why?" Leilani asked.

"That's up to you guys to find out, that's if you reach the 31st floor," Melody said as a mysterious glint flashed in her eyes.

"One last question!" Iris asked, "Is it possible to participate as a team?"

Melody shook her tiny head, and said, "In this trial, you can only depend on yourself."

They had no choice but to go in alone.

The good news was that they came prepared.

They were all of them under the effect of a few buffs and in their best condition.

They stepped towards the entrance, and the wide gate meant for towering giants cracked open. One by one, they entered the tower through the split in between the entrance.

After entering the tower, Vincent found himself in a dark place. He could also feel that there was no one around him. He was teleported to this place, he believed.
