Amon, The Legendary Overlord

“We’ve arrived.” In a playful voice, Old Hazael said with a smile.

Before they were an unfathomable tower.

“Wow!”

“It’s my first time looking at the tower left by the Human Emperor up close.” Ariel didn’t even dare blink. She, who sought to be stronger, always dreamed of being allowed to have access to the tower.

Old Hazael smiled a little when he saw their surprised little faces. He then proceeded to explain while they waited for their turn to enter the tower.

Unlike what you might imagine, there wasn’t a huge queue. Even though it’s such a desired place. Of course, for being so desired, which makes it so valuable.

Entrance to the tower, on most planets, has to be time-stamped and has an expiration date. You also need to sign a contract to bear the consequences if you seek death on a dangerous planet through the tower.

Of course, there were advantages, if going to a planet through the tower, depending on the degree, the person gets a buff. As a tower buff, the chances of survival increase, and even if wounded with a 70% risk of dying, it is brought back to the tower, however, if it takes a fatal blow, it is inevitable that it will die.

“That’s why you need to be very careful, I’ll be there to help, but I want you to be cautious and not impulsive.” Old Hazael said in a serious tone.

Ariel’s eyes gleamed, feeling Old Hazael’s words were very reasonable.

“Yea.” Amon and the girls nodded.

“Come on, it’s our turn.” Old Hazael ushered them through after handing something to the guard in golden armor and holding a large silver spear.

“Mm-hm.” Ariel was the first to follow him.

In a rough way, inside the tower, it looks like one of those events where several stalls were created side by side with vendors selling different products.

“It’s not far from that.” Old Hazael said.

“Mm?” Maisa was surprised, she muttered, “Did I say it out loud?”

“Hahaha.” Old Hazael laughed but didn’t respond.

Maisa was a little scared now, ‘Can he read minds?’

“Hehehe.” Suddenly Old Man Hazael chuckled.

Maisa almost jumped in fright.

“Okay, don’t just stand there, let’s keep going.” Old Hazael said after going through the entire procedure to enter the tower. 𝐛𝗲𝐝𝐧𝗼𝐯𝐞𝐥．𝐜𝐨𝗺

As he was known, it didn’t take long to finish the process. As mentioned before, Amon and the girls had to sign a paper with the same terms that Old Man Hazael had explained before.

“I feel like I’m still outside,” Maisa muttered.

Inside the tower, there was an open sky. Even an artificial sun. The size inside the tower was at least a thousand times larger than it looked from the outside.

“As expected from the greatest treasure left behind by the Human Emperor.” Ariel was full of curiosity.

“I know everything is new for you, but let’s not waste time.” Old Hazael said, “Let’s go to the place where I’m going to train you. When you’re strong, you can come whenever you like in the tower, and at that point, you’ll have enough time to explore every corner of the tower.”

“Okay.” Unconsciously, they nodded and as an unseen force pushed them away, they started walking behind Old Hazael.

“Oh yes, it’s forbidden to fly here…” Old Hazael remembered that they still couldn’t fly and laughed out loud: “I forgot they haven’t even formed the first genetic factor yet, hahaha.”

“…”

After taking a short break, they continued walking.

“Do you think it will be dangerous?” Julia asked Maisa softly.

“I have no idea, maybe he’ll train us himself?” She said dubiously.

Ariel chimed in: “No, it won’t be him personally training, it wouldn’t make sense if he did.”

“Ariel is right, you wouldn’t need to come up to the tower for us to train, as you could use any training room at the university.” Amon said calmly, “It’s very likely that we’re going to take ourselves on a primitive planet with primitive monsters for us to fight against.”

“As expected of the boy who impressed me.” Old Hazael turned, held up his thumb, and said, “Yes, we are going to a primitive planet, there will be many carnivorous beasts there that will try in various ways to kill and eat you, hahaha!”

While they were talking, he had already come close to an entrance guarded by some guards wearing gold armor. It was like a corner sales booth, only filled with guards in heavy armor with sharp eyes.

When these guards saw Old Hazael their expressions softened.

“Hello, sir!”

“Vice director!”

Everyone greeted him respectfully.

Old Hazael smiled back and said, “I’m taking these brats with me, a life saving stone for each of them.”

“Okay.” Usually, the process took a lot longer, it was almost like a job interview, but as they were with Old Hazael the process was as smooth as if you were strolling through a mall.

On the side of the cabin was a portal with the symbol that most resembled the Strength card of the Tarot card.

“This isn’t a portal to an ordinary planet, right?” Amon asked with some uncertainty.

“Hahaha, yes you are right. While it’s a primitive planet, there’s something interesting about this planet, that’s a test that can be done.” Old Hazael began to explain: “Do you know the Tarot cards?”

“Yes.” Amon nodded.

“There are 24 special portals in the tower, they use tarot card symbols.” Old Hazael explained: “These special portals are: Mage, Priestess, Empress, Emperor, Pope, Enamored, Chariot, Justice, Hermit, Wheel of Fortune, Strength, Hanging, Death, Temperance, Devil, Tower, Star, Moon, Sun , Judgment, World, Mad, Queen of Spades, Queen of Hearts. Of the portals, it can be said that the Force portal is the easiest and the most difficult at the same time.”

“Oh, I don’t understand?” Maisa was confused.

“Hehehe, I’m not surprised you’re confused.” Old Hazael explained: “The test on the Force portal is that you can only rely purely on force without using genetics, as genetics is blocked. The number of people who managed to pass the test does not exceed 2 digits.”

“If so, it’s not easy, after all, we humans are strong thanks to our genetics, if we can’t use it, we won’t be different from an ordinary human being,” Julia said.

“Yes, that’s why he needs to have amazing techniques and an equally amazing physique.” When he said that, he looked at Amon.

Although Amon doesn’t have an explosive body of muscle, his muscles were very well built, his physical strength was one of the things that most caught Old Man Hazael’s attention.

“I won’t lie, I believe that student Amon has a great chance of passing the test, but if he doesn’t want to, he doesn’t need to do it anyway, in this portal, the test isn’t the only thing he has to do, we can still hunt some monsters and get credits. In the meantime, I will assist you, helping you to better use your powers.” Said Old Hazel.

“Are you at risk of death?” Amon asked.

“Are you talking about the test?” Old Hazael saw by his expression that yes, so he said, “Yes, there are, many geniuses have died trying to pass this test, because of that, there are very few students who risk trying to take the test.”

“I understand..” Amon made a decision: “I want to try.”
