Another World Mall
Chapter 1033: Promises
Clovis, Melody, and Mara couldn't help but notice the screen in front of Luci. It was red at first, showing an error. Then, it was replaced with a green one and showed her being a player.
The problem was the red screen. They caught a glimpse of what was written there.
'Administrator.'
This word shocked Clovis and the others. If it were 'Tower of Administrators,' they could probably understand. However, what they saw was 'Administrator.'
They didn't see any numbers, but they wondered if Luci was actually one of the people who built this world.
Unfortunately, they couldn't confirm their suspicion because the system didn't specify the number. At the same time, Luci was also a player.
It wasn't like they would awaken something when the screen appeared, so they wouldn't know anything even if they asked Luci.
"Luciβ¦" Clovis looked at her with a serious expression.
Luci raised her head and saw the panel first. "Is this⦠what you and Melody have been seeing the whole time?"
"Yeah." Melody was the one giving the answer, making it more believable.
"Can you get up? Does it still hurt?"
"Noβ¦ I'm fine." Luci breathed heavily, but her condition was quite stable. ππ³π¦ππ€ππ£π―β΄π·π¦π.πππ
Clovis nodded. "That's good. For now, we have to move. I'll explain everything later. If we waste too much time here, the enemy will finish their preparations."
Luci was curious, but she couldn't help but agree that they were still in quite a predicament. If they spent too much time here, the enemy would have all that time to gather its forces.
"I understand." Luci nodded.
The others were still confused because they knew nothing about the system. However, the fact that Luci awakened one made them wonder if they could awaken it as well.
"Thisβ¦" Angelia was confused. She never knew about the system, so she was still quite confused about the entire situation.
Nonetheless, Clovis asked, "By the way, Melody. Is there a way to get all this information? Considering it contains information about all beasts, it should be quite valuable, right?"
"Not really. The encyclopedia about all these beasts has been circulating on Skynet. Most likely, the Melesviet family had been supplying some information from this tower." Melody shook her head. "But if you still want to record everything, I guess everyone has to get their camera."
"We'll do that then. Make sure to document everything. Unlike the previous tower, we can see everything here."
"Got it." Kanaria asked the others. This country might have periodically cleaned this tower. No, it would be more accurate to say that there should be another base underground. This base prevented any beasts from entering.
Once they started moving, Mara came to Clovis. "It looks like you're not lying to me."
"Yeah." Clovis nodded with a serious expression. "As you can see, there are seven special towers. They are the towers that serve as the foundation of this world."
Mara asked, "You've gone to other towers?"
"Only one. It's called the Tower of Darkness. It's completely dark, but those who have the system will be able to see the code that constructs this world.
"I'm not sure what will happen once we enter all seven special towers, but this may lead to the truth about this world. Of course, the system may be related to the truth.
"So, I'm planning to visit all of them. You're welcome to join us."
Mara thought for a moment. "I will, but that's only after you defeat me. That condition can't be changed. However, I'm quite interested in these towers. Do you know all the other towers?"
"Not all. I can only find four, including this one. I have several candidates, but I'm still considering their information to determine whether they're the special towers or not."
Mara nodded. "I see. That'll be interesting. Don't make me wait too long then."
"What?"
"What?" Mara tilted her head. She didn't know why he would be confused.
"No. I expected you to ask me about the special towers."
"I'm not going to do that." Mara shook her head. "That's the information you obtain yourself. Besides, I will get the information after I join anyway. There's no reason for me to demand anything from you."
"Well, I don't necessarily mind telling you if you ask me." Clovis grinned.
"No need."
"All right then." Clovis smiled. "Still, you sound like we'll be able to defeat you."
"Are you not going to?"
"Of course, we're going to defeat you. It's just you sound awfully confident."
She shook her head. "You have my unique ability on top of your own unique ability. Besides, you're going to fight with your group. If you still tell me you can't do it, you should just kill yourself, lest you embarrass yourself any further."
"Right?" Clovis chuckled. "Either way, we should prepare ourselves for the enemy at the bottom of the tower. We have to pass them quickly because I'm sure the Spear Saint will be chasing after us."
"If I use all my power, I should be able to reach the bottom of the tower in three minutes."
Clovis thought for a moment. "In that case, three minutes is our time limit. We have to get out of the encirclement and find our way out. Losing them in the forest will be good, but we will see if the tactic we've devised will be effective against the Spear Saint."
"In case the situation is not favorable, I can stay behind and stop the Spear Saint. Even if he can fight me, he realizes that fighting me is not exactly what he wants. However, not stopping me is also a bad move."
Clovis nodded. "I understand. We'll try to break through the enemy's blockade first. You can stay on the bus."
"No. No need for that." Mara shook her head. "As promised, I will get all of you out of here, so just follow my lead."
"!!!" Clovis was surprised, wondering what she intended to do.
It took them two hours to get down while recording everything. Once they reached the bottom, they could see many people waiting for them.
It looked like the fight was going to be fierce.
