Chapter 213 The Tower of Shadows
The Sky Arena is far less crowded at night than during the day.
However, the area near the Sky Arena is also a city that never sleeps.
There were no competitive matches in the evening.
Illumi and his group had already arrived near the Sky Arena.
The Sky Arena has four entrance gates, located in the East Gate area on the first floor of the Sky Arena.
"How do we use this?" Kahn and the others were holding tickets to the Sky Arena.
After the thought was injected, no reaction was observed for the time being.
"Look over there!" Baal pointed to a spot.
There was no door on the first floor, only entrances and exits. However, at one of the entrances and exits, they saw a familiar secret realm rift, which was blue and had countdown numbers on it.
At the same time, they can see people going in and out of the secret realm rift, but they do not see the secret realm rift itself, nor are they affected by it.
"Is that so?!"
Barr then shared his findings.
As long as you hold the "Sky Arena Ticket" in your hand and infuse it with your thoughts, you will see the location of that secret realm rift.
But once the infusion of thought stops, it becomes impossible to see.
Since there's no countdown timer, does this secret realm exist forever?
With many thoughts in mind, they quickly headed towards the secret realm.
"Shall we go in?"
"There shouldn't be any danger, right?"
The unknown still carries a certain degree of danger.
"There shouldn't be any danger, after all, this secret realm is in the Sky Arena." Baal couldn't help but look up at the sky.
I couldn't help but ask myself that question.
What exactly was the purpose of all that Lord Lu Qi did?
"Let's go!" As the leader of the team, Baal led the group into the area.
They headed towards the secret realm.
They quickly passed through the secret realm and disappeared from everyone's sight.
"They don't seem to have noticed us?" Illumi keenly sensed that the pedestrians around them seemed completely oblivious to Baal's disappearance.
This is not the kind of ability to eliminate aura, but rather the power to directly eliminate a certain existence.
The others entered in turn.
That same night, Jin also found the secret realm on the first floor of the Sky Arena, but he was in the area of the South Gate.
As for the others who went through the secret realm with them today, they did not come here.
Either they are not Nen users and cannot understand the meaning of the cards in their hands, or they have not yet discovered their function.
However, Illumi and his companions, upon entering the secret realm, discovered that it seemed to be just a matter of lifting a foot.
They were still in the Sky Arena, the only difference being that all the noisy people around them had disappeared.
The Sky Arena was very quiet at this time.
"What exactly is this?"
The others looked around, completely bewildered.
The rift in the secret realm was still in front of them, which meant they could still leave at any time.
Outside the Sky Arena, everything was shrouded in a gray fog, obscuring any view of Kree City, and there seemed to be great danger lurking within the fog.
If you rashly step into it, you will encounter danger.
"Welcome to the Shadow Tower." A woman with long black hair and wearing a black dress slowly walked out.
Everyone became wary.
"The Shadow Tower?"
"That's right, the Shadow Tower. This is the reflection of the Sky Arena, also known as the Shadow Tower. I am a staff member here, my name is Regina, and I am your guide."
Regina answered with a smile.
If we're talking about the biggest secret realm in the entire city of Kerry, then without a doubt, this is the biggest.
Over the years, under Lucci's command, the entire Sky Arena has been renovated, with each area being changed every year.
All of them were replaced with buildings made of materials that could be inscribed with divine characters.
Later, the power of the pages of the Book of Sacrifice was incorporated into the Sky Arena, forming the "Tower of Shadows".
It wasn't until Lucci mastered the Holy Grail system and incorporated the Sky Arena into it that the "Tower of Shadows" was finally formed.
"A guide? We're here, what are you going to guide us to do?"
Regina smiled.
"Since it's a reflection of the Sky Arena, then what you need to do is naturally challenge the floors."
"Is it also a combat sport?"
Regina shook her head: "Of course not."
"Come with me."
In another area, Jin encountered another Regina.
Clearly, Regina here has also been granted unusual privileges by Lucci.
They are currently in the area of the gate.
After following Regina into the first level, they discovered that the layout of the first level was completely different from what they knew about the first level of the Sky Arena.
Before them lay the entrance to a massive maze.
Regina also informed them.
Challenging the maze to reach higher levels is the "basic gameplay" of the Shadow Tower.
The maze is filled with many monsters, as well as boss rooms. As for how to enter the next level, that's up to them to discover.
And there are rewards for tackling the maze.
Regina briefly mentioned some rewards, the simplest of which would be Mind Crystals. These things are actually just formed from the Holy Grail's condensation of earth energy and ley lines.
"Oh, by the way, the tickets you have grant you ten entry privileges."
The ticket does not grant them unlimited access.
And the opening hours here are from 8 pm to 4 am.
Of course, you can choose to stay overnight here, but if you want to leave, you can only do so when the hotel opens.
In the context of online game instances, it's essentially a limited-time event instance.
The tickets for the dungeon are obtained from the "Normal" dungeon in Rest.
Meanwhile, Barr and his team also received a major piece of news from Regina.
So you can also get "Secret Realm Tickets" here.
It means you can enter a secret realm anytime, anywhere.
Barr and his companions were shocked.
Meanwhile, Jin on the other side was hit hard.
This is practically a "competitor"! Compared to their prepared "Greed Island," this place is clearly much more advanced.
Moreover, this is geared towards a much larger number of people.
It seems I need to have a good talk with my companions.
Greed Island certainly cannot be abandoned, but some things need to be redeployed.
He hadn't originally planned to meet Lucci, but now he felt he had to, otherwise their efforts would have been in vain.
"So, are you going to enter the first level of the maze now?"
"Regina asked."
Barr's team chose to give up temporarily and leave first.
As for Kim, he did not choose to challenge either.
But holding the ticket, he asked Regina, "Shouldn't I be able to buy this too?"
Regina smiled knowingly: "You're very smart."
