670 Black Eyes
//Eighth Floor. Evan. 9M. 12Sec.//
"Fu*k, he cleared the eighth floor as well."
"He is clearing these floors even faster than the lower floors."
"Is there some kind of hack inside the dungeon that we don't know about?"
"Damn it, I am going to beat down that bar owner. He definitely sold me the wrong liquor. I didn't even drink it but I am already hallucinating."
A commotion occurred outside of the dungeon the moment Evan's name once again appeared on the holographic screen, indicating that he cleared the eighth floor as well.
The various people of the four great clans immediately sent the news to Noir and others as they were told to inform them about Evan's progress.
When Noir, Alumi and Edward received the news that Evan cleared the eighth floor, they couldn't contain themselves and decided to come to the dungeon town as well.
In order to come to the dungeon town as soon as possible, they even used the teleportation gate that was connected to the dungeon town.
Normally, the people of the four great clans use the teleportation gate only in cases of emergency because it requires them to use a large number of essence stones. But this time they didn't care about the essence stones and used the teleportation gate without hesitation.
In just a few minutes after Evan cleared the eighth floor Noir, Edward and Alumi arrived in the dungeon town and found Mogul who was once again looking at his drink with a suspicious look on his piggy like face.
When Mogul noticed Edward and others, he pointed at the liquor he was drinking and said in a voice full of certainty.
"I don't know what's wrong with this cheap liquor, but it can get you drunk, even if you are a Rank One Core Evolver."
When Edward and others heard Mogul they looked at him with strange eyes not understanding what was wrong with him.
Eventually, they decided to ignore Mogul for the time being and looked at the holographic screen.... And the moment they looked at the screen, they finally understood why Mogul was acting like this.
//First Floor. Evan. 9M. 14Se.//
// Second Floor. Evan. 38M. 21Sec.//
// Third Floor. Evan. 3M. 19Sec.//
//Fourth Floor. Evan. 5M. 4Sec.//
//Fifth Floor. Evan. 2H. 9M. 21Sec.//
//Sixth Floor. Evan. 2H. 21M. 8Sec.//
//Seventh Floor. Evan. 16Sec.//
//Eighth Floor. Evan. 9M. 12Sec.//
'What the fu*k is wrong with this guy' All of them thought at the same time seeing the total time that Evan had taken to clear all the eight floors.
While the commotion was occurring outside of the dungeon, Evan was trying to regain his breath after using his spiritual power to its limit.
"This dungeon is just a fu*king trap," He couldn't help but comment while panting heavily.
The fact that ten S Rankers have to kill a Rank One Orc just by using their physical strength to clear the seventh floor is already absurd but even then, this is within the realm of possibility. But there is no way any S ranker can clear the eighth floor.
If the S rankers enter the eighth floor, the only thing that is waiting for them is a certain death.
Unlike physical power which you can increase by training and many other things, you can't increase your spiritual power easily.
Evan's current spiritual power is almost comparable to a peak Rank One Core Evolver because of his abnormal soul, but even then, it was not easy for him to clear the eighth floor.
If S Rankers somehow managed to clear the seventh floor and reach the eighth floor, there is no way they would be able to break free from the Dark space with their low spiritual power.
"If I didn't have the ability Eyes of the Abyss, I don't even know if I could have cleared this floor..." Evan muttered, looking at the portal that was leading to the ninth floor.
As Evan looked at the portal, a thought suddenly came into his mind.
'The Tower of Ascension requires a large amount of energy to function, which is why all those who die within the World Domain turn to dust as their entire essence is absorbed by the Tower Spirit.' Evan muttered inwardly and narrowed his eyes. '... Given the difficulty of the dungeon, could it be that this dungeon was created by the Spirit of the Tower to gather more energy since this dungeon is basically a death trap for S Rankers.'
Evan thought about it for a few seconds and sighed lightly.
"Ha! Even if what I just thought is true there is nothing I can do about it," He said and lay down on the ground to recover his spiritual power.
If Evan wanted to, he could have left the dungeon without clearing it. In the soul contract, he added a term that he would put his safety above anything else.
Now that Evan was feeling that he would be in danger if he went to the ninth floor, he could leave the dungeon without breaking the soul contract.
"Although I want to leave, my inner voice is telling me that I will regret it in future if I don't clear this dungeon now..." Evan muttered with a helpless look on his and took out a potion to help him recover his spiritual power.
Around three hours later, Evan fully recovered and looked at the portal.
"Here goes nothing," He muttered and entered the portal.
Upon reaching the ninth floor, Evan once again found himself standing in a small room.
(Defeat Your Fear In Order To Clear The Ninth Floor)
A notification flashed before Evan's eyes the moment he arrived on the ninth floor.
"What is this?" He muttered with a frown on his face after reading the notification.
Suddenly, Evan felt a strange power scanning his soul as if trying to read all of his memories.
Evan was baffled when he felt this and tried to use his spiritual power to resist the power that was trying to read his memories. But to Evan's shock, he found he could not do anything against the power that was scanning his soul.
"What the heck is happening now?"
While Evan was trying to resist the power that was trying to read his memories, deep within his soul, a sphere of black smoke appeared out of nowhere. Just as the black smoke appeared, the power that was trying to read Evan's memories halted.
Suddenly, two small black dots that look like someone's eyes opened within the smoke. The gaze of the black eyes pierced through the veil of space and landed on the Tower of Ascension.
The moment the gaze of the black eyes landed on the Tower, the people who were standing near the Tower felt as if the Tower shook for a split second.
After looking at the tower for a few seconds, the black eyes that opened once again closed and Evan's soul returned to its normal state.
"Damn, who the hell is trying to read my memories," Evan was still trying to stop the energy that was trying to read his memories when the power that was scanning his soul suddenly disappeared.
Evan was stunned when the power that was scanning his soul suddenly disappeared.
"What is happening no_" Evan was confused because of the strange event and wanted to know what was going on, but before he could understand his situation, the space in front of him flickered and a portal that was leading to the tenth floor appeared there.
