Chapter 577: Sacrificing right hand
Chapter 577: Sacrificing right hand
‘I should have guessed its reason for not jumping into the water already,’
All of a sudden, Ajax understood why it didn’t jump into the water earlier but jumped now.
‘I should not give up yet,’
Even though he knew he would not really die if he got killed in the battle tower, he didn’t want to get killed in his first hall.
‘Hmm…this might work but I have to endure the pain,’
After a couple of seconds, he got an idea which he thought would help him escape from the teeth of the monstrous brown lizard.
‘Aargh’
‘Kacha’
‘Aarghh’
With a loud shout, he pulled himself back which made his right hand separate from his body; however, after that, he had to endure a great deal of pain which made shouted in pain even more.
‘Hh..hu..hu’
As soon as he separated from his hand, Ajax quickly swam towards a flat floating stone and jumped onto it.
‘Phew…finally, I can use my essence of nature and there is no strain in my body movements,’
After standing on the flat floating stone, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief as he could finally use his essence of nature and at the same time, his body movements became free once again.
‘Roar’
‘Crunch’
‘Gulp’
As for the monstrous brown lizard, he enjoyed eating Ajax’s right hand making him angry.
‘Damn you Lizard,’
With the munching scene in front of him, Ajax cursed the brown lizard and at the same time, his body released a terrifying aura.
“I wanted to kill you in a single attack, but I have changed my mind,” Ajax looked at the lizard in the water as he silently thought in his head ‘Absolute darkness’
‘Swoosh’
As soon as he finished his words, a black wave came out of his body and entered into the brown lizard’s body at an incredible speed which was impossible for it to dodge.
‘Roar’
‘Roarr’
Soon, pained roars resounded in the hall that could make anyone shiver and terrify them.
‘Even though it will not kill you anytime soon, it will make you wish for it,’
Ajax only used half of the true power for his skill ‘Absolute darkness’ because he didn’t want to kill it in a single attack.
‘Ding,
You are just wasting your time and making your next challenge in the second layer of the battle tower even more difficult with your actions.
‘What?’
All of a sudden, a system notification appeared in front of him that made him anxious all of a sudden.
‘That’s right! How could I forget that?’
According to the Armoured titan’s words with the ghost fox, Ajax assumed that the same hall guardians would be guarding their respective halls in the second layer of the battle tower with more much higher cultivation than in the halls of the first layer.
So, he felt like he overdid what he had done in this hall.
‘Whatever, the stronger the hall guardian is, the more benefits I get. Isn’t that the actual reason for coming into the battle tower?’
However, he soon stopped worrying about the grudges of the brown lizard.
‘Looks like you have suffered enough for eating my right hand. Now, die,’
Nevertheless, for some reason, he killed it soon after that.
‘Ding,
Congratulations to the host for killing the ‘Monstrous Brown lizard’ and clearing the first hall.
‘Huh?’
Even though he got the system notification informing about clearing the hall, Ajax raised his brows.
‘Where is my one-shot kill rewards?’
From what he had learned from his summons’ battle in the battle tower, if a participant kills the hall guardian in a single attack, they would get a special reward.
‘Sigh… maybe for losing my right hand in the battle removed the reward,’
Soon, he realized the reason for not getting the special reward as he looked at his missing right hand.
‘Ding,
Host, do you want to go to the next hall?
‘Yes’
Ajax had already decided to continue challenging one hall after another till he dropped dead in the battle tower. So, as soon as he saw the system notification, without any hesitation, he chose ‘Yes’.
‘Ding,
Teleporting the host to the next hall to challenge’
As soon as he chose ‘Yes’, his body started disappearing from the current hall to challenge another hall.
‘Swoosh’
Soon, he appeared in front of a huge door.
‘Huh?’
To his surprise, he was once again familiar with the hall in front of him.
‘Magical hall’
He didn’t waste any time before opening the huge red-coloured doors and entering into the magical hall which was guarded by 10000 fire trolls.
‘Jaxad ad addf wd’
‘Aew dff fvdd fef’
..
..
As soon as he entered the hall, he heard many whispers which he didn’t hear when his other summons challenged this hall.
‘Is that their language?’
Ajax carefully looked at the fire trolls in front of him which were also watching him with the same curiousness.
‘I have to find the true way to clear this hall to get the special reward; however, it looks impossible with 10000 fire trolls guarding me,’
In the earlier, since there was only one hall guardian which was hesitant to enter the water, he was able to find the true hall guardian after searching for an hour; however, this time he felt it was difficult for him to search for with 10000 enemies in front of him.
‘Moreover, I became a handicap now,’
Looking at his missing right hand, Ajax bitterly shook his head.
‘Tap’ ‘Tap’
‘Acve drr dg sd’
‘Sd gfs wrf weu’
While he was in his thoughts, the fire trolls carefully walked towards him while maintaining the whispers which made Ajax go mad.
‘Wait’
All of a sudden, Ajax noticed something as he recalled the two challenges of his summons.
‘So, these whispers are the reason behind their actions,’
Ajax nodded his head as he continued thinking, ‘Anyway, I will try a new trick to clear this magical hall.’
