Chapter 854: First Floor ~ Drakengard



"Please forgive us. We are also victims of this tower. The only way for us to be freed by the tower is by preventing you guys from clearing the first ten floors. Please spare our lives, please forgive us!" Ten people knelt in front of Lu An and Kang Xue as they begged for their lives. They banged their heads to the ground.

"What do you mean you guys are the victims of the tower?" Kang Xue pulled Lu An, preventing him from killing these ten Miragul. She wanted to hear what they said first as it piqued her interest. Victim of the tower, she wanted to know what it meant. Of course, they might be lying, but she had another way to confirm that with Selena.

"The high-ranking demons in our realm tried to take over the System, but they failed to do so and got punished by the System. All the demons in our realm were sent to this tower. We just want our freedom back, that\'s why we try to prevent the players from clearing the first ten floors tower, so the Tower Break happens, and we will get out of this cursed tower!" Miragul that looked like a man in his mid-forties, explained earnestly.

"So what if you are a victim of the tower? That does not change the fact that you guys tried to kill us, and we will not tolerate your action!" Lu An showed his murderous intent. He did not care if these demons were victims of the tower; he would kill them for trying to kill his people. He learned this from Tang Shaoyang and should never spare the people who tried to kill him.

"We will do anything for you as long as you spare our lives. If you don\'t trust our words, we can also establish the System Contract. Please don\'t kill us!" After saying that, the man in his mid-forties started banging his head once more, and the other nine followed in tow.

"Alright, I will not kill you, but you have to take the oath ceremony and be our slaves indefinitely," Kang Xue made the decision without consulting it with Lu An. The latter clearly did not like the decision. "We can\'t, Sister Xue! We have to kill them, or else they will find a chance to kill us in the future. We can\'t leave them alive!"

Even Moonsong and Revalor doubted Kang Xue\'s decision to accept Miragul\'s surrender. They had bad blood against the demon, so they were not fond of the decision. However, Kang Xue had a different way of thinking than the other three.

"No, we will need them. Trust me, Lu An," Kang Xue spoke with a convincing tone but noticed Lu An was not convinced by her words, "Then let Sister Mengyao decide whether we should let them live or kill them."

Lu An relented after Kang Xue brought up Zhang Mengyao\'s name because Zhang Mengyao was in charge of everything. If Zhang Mengyao was convinced to keep Miragul alive, he could do nothing about it. He let out a sigh and nodded; the disappointment was obvious on his face.

"Thank you for your understanding, Lu An," Kang Xue smiled at the youngster before giving the ten Miragul a sharp glance, "Follow me if you want to keep your lives."

The ten demons nodded their heads furiously and followed Kang Xue closely. They realized that the woman was the only chance to keep their lives intact, so they made sure to create a distance from the young man, "Please check the village and make sure they are safe. I think this place will be our base for the time being."

"Yes, Marshal Kang Xue," Legion Commander Moonsong and Revalor bowed their heads as Kang Xue, and Lu An passed them. After the two left the village, Chief Moon and the former Elven King exchanged glances before looking at the village around. There was barely a trace of a battle, meaning the two people killed Miragul as the demon was helpless against the two individuals.

Moonsong observed the village and shook his head, "We are worried for nothing. They are quite strong even though they are just an Epic Rank."

​ "Or maybe the Miragul is too weak. The demon may be below the Epic Rank, so they can defeat the demon easily," Revalor remained cautious and on guard regarding the enemy\'s strength. Regardless of the result, he would not lower his guard, "We still have to keep an eye on Lu An. That young man is a little bit reckless to come here alone."

"Can you explain why you bring them with you, Marshal Kang Xue?" Zhang Mengyao asked as she looked at the ten people kneeling on the ground.

"Because we need them to clear the first floor," Kang Xue did not faze away from the question. "We know nothing about the dimensional tower, but they know more about the tower than us, so might as well spare their lives and use them as a guide for us. On top of that, we have Selena with us, and we can use the Oath Ceremony to ensure they will not stab us in the back."

That was actually a brilliant idea. Zhang Mengyao was fond of the proposal, using the tower\'s inhabitant to help them clear the tower, "Do you hear it? We will spare your lives if you are useful, but we will kill you all if you are useless. So, tell everything you know about the tower!"

The Miragul, who looked in his mid-forties answering all the questions, threw at him. He had no choice but to be obedient if he wanted to keep their lives. This was the fate for the weak.

After Zhang Mengyao got everything she wanted from the Miragul, she motioned Selena to come over and hold the Oath Ceremony with the demons. Despite the increasing level, doing the Oath Ceremony had a high toll on Selena\'s body. Zhang Mengyao could see that after the Oath Ceremony was over. The Divine Priest looked exhausted, and her face lost its color, \'Hmmm, let\'s not use the Oath Ceremony too often.\' She thought to herself.

After the Oath Ceremony was over, Lu An called his subordinate and tasked them to watch over the ten demons. Even though they had to be obedient and could not betray them, Lu An wanted to keep watching the demons all the time. Despite the Oath Ceremony, he would not let the demon move freely with them.

"The first thing we must watch over is the resident of the tower. Regardless of their race, they will be hostile to us," Zhang Mengyao gathered all the leaders and discussed the main issue they encountered. "From their perspective, they are imprisoned by the towers, and the only way for them to escape from the tower is to force the Tower Break. So we come as the enemy of the residents of the tower. So, we must be careful even if we meet a real human in this tower."

"Thanks to Kang Xue\'s calm and collected decision, we found the way to clear the first floor. Just like Lu An said earlier, we must defeat the boss floor. However, the residents call this boss the King of the floor instead of a boss. In order to clear the first floor, we must kill the King of the first floor, Drakengard," Zhang Mengyao continued to the main topic, "Drakengard is an Earth Drake; that\'s the only thing we know about the King of the first floor. We don\'t know where the King is, and we don\'t know what it looks like."

"However, we have the general direction where this Drakengard was. It should be to the south of our direction…." Zhang Mengyao was about to point a direction, but she did not know where the south direction was.

"Let\'s settle up for the time being, and we will send a small team to gather more information. We can use the Miragul as a guide, but we can\'t trust them completely. They may lead us to the most dangerous place without us knowing, so make sure to be careful around them," Wei Xi concluded the short meeting. All in all, they managed to get the most important information to clear the first floor. That was a huge lead for them, considering they had just arrived in the tower.

Meanwhile, outside the Dimensional Tower on Earth, Tower Entrance

The atmosphere outside the tower was quite intense as the First Order Guild and The Blue Vest Guild met at the entrance. The two factions had bad blood since earlier in the game as their territories were next to each other. Each time they met, a small thing was bound to happen.

"We will enter the tower first. You guys can enter after the Blue Vest Guild," A man in his mid-thirties spoke. He had a thin beard with a neat hairstyle, and he was The Blue Vest Guild\'s Vice Leader, Donald Callahan. He had a smug face as he made a surprised expression, "Ah, I forgot about the other factions from the World Government. I don\'t think you can enter the tower after us, but you can enter the tower after all factions from the World Government enter the tower."
