Chapter [404] Heavenly demon.[2]

Chapter 404 [404] Heavenly demon.[2]

The heavenly demon gazed at the heavens from the highest peak.

His gaze was apathetic, and in his hand lay a bowl filled with the most precious wine in all of Murim.

He raised it up to his mouth and drank it all in one fell swoop, part of the liquor dripping down his face.

"Ha!"

He let out a rejuvenated groan, it was as if the wine had awakened him from his deathly state.

"The heavens are crying."

He muttered as his gaze pierced through all of Murim itself. A slight smile appeared on his apathetic face.

Ah, he felt alive.

He stood up.

"The Eternal Yin climbs the mountain, whilst the Bright Yang is still engaged with the Emperor of SwordsKukuku!"

But his joy was short-lived.

[Why so quiet?]

The tower's mechanical voice rang in his ears.

"Because I don't know."

The Heavenly demon answered. The reason was simple, he didn't know whether the 'wish' would be accomplished.

He unsheathed his sword and gazed at the heavens once again.

"It's become hard to move my body"

He lamented. Maybe if he had more time he would be able to bring a more 'satisfactory' end.

He looked down at the mountain, his eyes could pierce through everything. He soon saw the sight of Alan climbing the stairs that led to the heavenly mountain.

He smiled, his red, scarlet eyes trying to understand everything he could about Alan. The way he walked, the gait he tread withAnything could be a weakness. Anything can be a weakness.

"Hoh"

However, only awe was felt in his voice.

His scarlet eyes met eyes of pure, astral blue. Two bright diamonds that looked to be so intricately carved that even dragons would crave them.

He had seen Alan, And Alan had seen him. His scarlet red eyes shone a l.u.s.trous, red glow and a smile crept its way up his face.

"Maybe he will be able to do itor at least he will do better than the previous user of Metal Qi."

He said, referring to Daniel. Daniel had previously challenged the trial but failed to clear it. It was Ma Cheon himself who cut Daniel down. And quite easily and overwhelmingly at that as well.

A chill permeated the entire mountain. And The Heavenly demon laughed.

He could see Alan flying up here. He wielded his pitch-black Jian and his apathetic gaze returned.

"Yes"

He muttered and jumped down the mountain. His clothes fluttered against the wind and his face faced the full onslaught of the devastating power of the Heavenly mountain. Jumping from such an Alt.i.tude was not easy.

But he couldn't care less. Finallyhe was feeling alive. Although his face contrasted it.

Alan and the Heavenly demon got closer to one another. One descended whilst the other Ascended.

"A martial artist should have at least this much resolve!"

He shouted with glee, as he met Alan's spear, the Ame-No-Sakahoko with his own Blade, Mrn Jin(Ink-Black Sword.)

The clash of the Two legendary, almost mythical items in their respective worlds shook the Heavenly Demonic mountain itself.

******

I stuck the blade of Sundering h.e.l.lfire into the heart of the Sword Emperor.

"Murimwill live on"

Those were his final words. As his body was burnt by the h.e.l.lfire released from my sword.

"Ha"

I fell to the ground, severely exhausted. My b.u.t.t started to hurt when I landed on the sharp part of one of the Marble stairs.

"Sigh"

I let out a sigh, and my grip on my sword decreased. Before I lost it for good in this sea of clouds I put it in my inventory.

[Supreme Dragon of Fire Agri congratulates you on your victory.]

"Thanks."

I thanked Agri as I took a moment to collect my breath. The fight with the Sword Emperor was tough, If I didn't have the System with me I would have died. Thankfully, I could still buy healing items here. I thought the tower would have disabled it but I guess I was wrong.

The Sword Emperor was toughand the other sect leaders weren't easy either. It was hard trying to defeat them, but nevertheless, I managed to do so. Although it took a lot of time and effort I was successful in completing the trials in a way I deemed satisfactory.

"I'm tired"

I sighed. Truly, these trials took a toll on me. And what was worse was that this was only the 29th floor. I still have 71 more floors to go.

The thought of it sends s.h.i.+vers down my spinebut I can't give up now, can I?

Elton's cureI need to get it. I won't be able to forgive myself If I don't manage to get his cureNo matter what.

I need to clear this accursed tower and acquire it. Lest Elton will die a painful death, being devoured by the curse.

[You have cleared the Trial of the 29th floor, The Trial of the Sword Emperor.]

Finally, The notification has appeared.

"Move me to the lobby."

I said, and a golden light covered my body. The next moment, I found myself in a wooden room, possessing a similar design to traditional Chinese architecture.

My tired eyes had a hard time taking it in, But I knew I was safe for the moment. These past few trials had taken quite a physical and mental toll on me. Because I was unable to rest between them, it was obvious I was tired.

I lay down on the wooden floor, my tired eyes aimlessly gazing at the ceiling.

"Sigh"

I let out a defeated sigh. I'm tired.

"How long can I stay here?"

I asked the tower. I honestly didn't expect it to answer, and even if it did I was ready to hear an Unpleasant onebut to my surprise.

[You can stay for as long as you want. The lobbies are a place for the traveler to rest, they are able to stay for as long as they want provided they have nutrition.

eh?

Wow.

For the first time, I think I'm starting to like this guy.

So we can stay here for as long as we want huh

I looked around the room, searching for something soft.

I grabbed one of the cus.h.i.+ons surrounding the small table in the middle and put my head on it.

And then I went to sleep. I should take full advantage of thisno?
