Chapter 673: First Level Authority (2)
Chapter 673: First Level Authority (2)
As Nash was granted the first-level authority, streams of information began to flood his mind.
Digesting every piece, his eyes quickly lit up.
"This authority..."
He had thought the authority given to him would just be an ability to stay in the Altier Arcane Tower indefinitely.
However, to his shock, Nash could basically use the tower as a relay station.
Wherever or whenever he wanted, he could call the tower and appear within it.
Inside, Nash could also use the tower to go anywhere he desired.
Although it was limited to himself, it was a huge advantage.
With an advanced storage ring, he could take a few people with him whenever he wanted.
They could practically use this place as a refuge or resting place wherever they were in the wild void area.
Of course, all the energy consumption along the transmission would be their responsibility to bear.
He basically had to pay void source crystals or merits to offset the transportation cost; otherwise, he would lose this privilege.
Besides this personal teleportation function, Nash was also granted the authority to use experimental and training facilities up to the tier 6 realm.
These facilities represented the extreme limit of each realm, which was useful even to top-level teams.
Another was that he unlocked permission to browse knowledge of all elements, laws, and blueprints up to the same tier 6 realm.
Being given such a treasure trove, Nash could barely hold himself back from exploring it immediately.
This knowledge was the accumulation of all the galactic territory of the previous generations.
Having access to such knowledge, Nash already had the capital to catch up to top-level teams at the fastest speed.
From various potions, technology, training manuals, treasures, and professions, Nash felt exhilarated just thinking about them.
"I wonder what permission I could get next?"
Looking at the time, there were fewer than 10 days before the convention was over.
Not wanting to attract attention, Nash planned to leave with them.
Afterward, he could just go back once everyone left.
"Huh~ Let’s see what the next trial is..."
Digesting what he gained from passing the dozen trials, Nash continued to challenge the next.
Entering the trial, the mode quickly changed.
Looking at the piece of wasteland, there wasn’t any environmental variety compared to before.
However, what replaced it was an overwhelming tide of tier 5 void beasts of the corresponding element.
To pass the trial, Nash either had to survive 30 hours or destroy the core just like before.
"It seems impossible to take a shortcut this time," Nash sighed.
Although there was still a way to destroy the core of the trial, the challenge was no longer finding it.
Up front, Nash could clearly locate it with his naked eyes.
Along with the core, there were also tier 7 dark beasts, guarding like stone statues.
Nash felt that the instant he went close, it would trigger their defensive mechanism and wipe him out.
Void Beasts were different from those mindless dark beasts.
Although their power and abilities were nearly the same, the way they utilized them was different.
If Nash was still capable of defeating a tier 6 Void Beast, a tier 7 Void Beast was already a stretch.
"Is this Tower targeting me?" Nash began to doubt.
It seemed his successive high ratings made him a target of the tower.
This allowed him to confirm that while the Altier Arcane Tower was currently unowned, there was a sentient spirit in control.
"No matter, it’s just a matter of time."
Facing an endless tide of tier 5 Void Beasts, Nash didn’t feel anything different.
In fact, compared to holding an environmental challenge, fighting a tide of enemies was easier.
After all, the [Combat Module System] had undergone the most iteration than the underutilized [Adaptive Module System].
"The only pity is, I could no longer get an SSS rating..." Nash sighed.
Looking at the gloomy sky, Nash quickly thought of something.
"Hey! Tower Spirit, I want to get another SSS rating. Although I can’t break the core, you can increase the intensity of the void beast tide."
Suddenly, as if understanding his words, the tier 5 dark beasts before him began to undergo various mutations.
Not only did they become stronger and activate elemental domains, but some even directly advanced to the tier 6 realm.
"Tsk, this is insane. I said only make it difficult, not impossible."
Facing a tide of void beasts mastering elemental domains was hard enough; now there were even variants who directly mastered the power of law. How could he survive this?
Steeling his heart, Nash began to activate not only the [Combat Module], but all the other modules that could help him survive these grueling 30 hours of hell!
Soon, as the tide started to swarm him, instead of fighting, Nash started to run.
The trial’s objective was only to survive, not to clear every void beast.
Summoning his celestial beasts, Nash began to teleport to multiple parts of the battleship, juggling between his enemies like a toy.
"Hah! It seems easier than I thought."
Dodging and weaving through the enemy, Nash didn’t even break a sweat.
It seemed he had become accustomed to coming head-to-head with the enemy that he forgot he could run.
Not having to deal with any single enemy, Nash felt he could even deal with the core of the trial.
"Could I..."
Suddenly, before he could move, the tier 7 Void Beasts protecting the core turned their eyes onto him.
Feeling locked by their gaze, his movement couldn’t help but pause.
"Not good."
Seeing a salvo of law, Nash quickly sacrificed a celestial beast to take his place.
Boom!
Looking at the explosion that pulverized the celestial beast that took his place, Nash couldn’t help but gulp in shock.
"Even with this distance, they could still affect me?"
It seemed he had underestimated the strength of a tier 7 powerhouse too much.
Used to dealing with tier 7 and 8 dark beasts, he unconsciously thought they were the same.
However, with mastery of their control, even their gaze held the power to stop him in his tracks.
Once he got close and broke the seal limiting their movement, it might be over for him.
Shaking off his previous thought, Nash honestly completed the trial, surviving the 30 hours of grueling, monstrous tide.
