“If you die in the first 50 floors, just stay dead and wait to be resurrected. We’re going for the win this time.”
The moment they entered the second floor, Li Yi gave the party his command.
“Our attempt this time might be quite long. It might take a day, or maybe even two to three days. Please get ready, everyone!”
The early floors no longer posed any difficulty to the party, and under Li Yi and Brother Windcloud Nine’s lead, the party had already reached the sixteenth floor within an hour.
The party had only 1 casualty, and there were only 24 players alive at present.
That casualty was Sister Windcloud Nine, and she had died when she accidentally stepped onto a trap in the third floor.
When the party reached the twentieth floor, they did not encounter a boss but instead needed to face a gear stage. However, with the aid of the Jiaojiao the pro acrobat, the gear stage had become as easy as pie.
The party did not need to lift a single muscle and all they had to do was to stand idly by as they sent Jiaojiao to clear the stage alone. Once Jiaojiao had cleared the stage, she used her Party Summon and pulled everyone into the next stage.
The moment the party entered the twentieth floor, they obtained five free party member revives. However, the party unanimously agreed to leave Sister Windcloud Nine dead, and she continued to lie on the third floor.
While it was no big deal to spend a resurrection, wasting it on someone who could not contribute anything was utterly meaningless.
By noon, Li Yi had already led the party to break through the forty-fifth floor, and their death toll was now at five, which meant that there were only twenty people who were still alive. On the other hand, their resurrection count had now increased to twenty times.
‘Not resurrecting and charging full steam ahead’, that was the strategy that Li Yi had in mind.
He no longer wanted to spend any time in this tower, and the only goal he had was to clear this tower in a single attempt!
Li Yi’s party had consisted of two extremely hidden classes, a Dark Paladin, and a God-chastised Paladin. Even in his past life, Li Yi had a burning question to be answered —whether or not the hidden classes could be upgraded.
The question had gone unanswered in Li Yi’s past life. As such, he wanted to get to the root of the question and witness with his very own eyes whether Dark Paladins and God-chastised Paladins could be upgraded like the other normal classes.
2Dark Paladins were a ridiculously powerful class, and in an equal situation where everyone shared the same equipment and levels, Dark Paladins were the undeniable kings of melee combat. Their overpowered Blood Drain skill could be used once every 10 seconds, which would absolutely destroy anyone who dared to face them in melee combat.
Compared to Dark Paladins, God-chastised Paladins were even more ruthless. As a class that had been condemned by the gods, it had lost the ability to use mana. Due to this, God-chastised Paladins did not utilize mana and instead expended their own HP when they cast skills.
For every skill they unleashed, the God-chastised Paladins would use a little of their HP, and the more powerful the skill was, the more HP they spent. As an example, the Wrathful Blood Cross Strike that Brother Windcloud Nine had used earlier to defeat the 180 skeletal monsters had cost him 10% of his HP.
As a class condemned by the gods, God-chastised Paladins could not use mana. However, that was insignificant compared to the next disadvantage, which was their inability to be healed through conventional healing spells, as they would render any recovery spells from their allies useless.
Every attack of theirs would cost them HP, and their HP loss could not be healed by external sources, making it the greatest drawback of the class.
However, there were also pros to the class. Even though God-chastised Paladins were unable to be healed through healing spells, their ability to recover through potions was unparalleled.
One of the unique characteristics of the God-chastised Paladin class was that they would recover 10% more HP from HP potions. More importantly, however, was that their cooldown for HP potion consumptions was 30 seconds across the board.
Normal players had 2 minutes of cooldown before they were able to consume another HP potion, but not God-chastised Paladins. They were able to consume potions every 30 seconds, and as long as they had enough potions, they could consume them to no end.
In King of Pantheon, the higher the grade of a potion, the more expensive it was. To normal players, HP potions were just a means of survival during clutch moments, however, to God-chastised Paladins, HP potions were indispensable.
God-chastised Paladins were legendary potion vacuums, and only the richest of the rich among the players had the right to play it…
In Li Yi’s view, Brother Windcloud Nine’s class change to a God-chastised Paladin was an absolutely perfect decision.
When the party reached the fiftieth floor, they encountered another Golden series boss. Upon the encounter, Brother Windcloud Nine flaunted his powers once again. He unleashed Bloody Cross— Sin, which rooted the boss in place, effectively turning it into a wooden block.
With that, the party cleared the floor with zero casualties and only a single attempt…
The red-robed warden appeared, and behind it, was a giant wheel of fortune.
It was time to claim prizes!
“Resurrect everyone!”
Li Yi finally used his Resurrection Pearl and revived the five players who had died, including Sister Windcloud Nine.
Since it was time to claim prizes, everyone should be present, including the naturally silly Sister Windcloud Nine.
The roulette spinning had now begun in earnest.
Some players died, and some players received prizes, and both the positive and negative experiences had totally balanced out.
No Orange Quality Weapons were contained in the wheel this time, and the best equipment was only Purple Quality ones. As such, Li Yi had forgone this round of spinning.
After all, landing on the skull symbol would result in death, and it was a non-worthwhile risk.
By the time the roulette spinning had ended, the party’s death toll had already reached a figure of ten. However, they could not be resurrected at present, and they had to defeat the next Golden boss in order to reclaim their souls.
While the party made their way to the next floor, Sister Windcloud Nine made a V-sign with her hand and flashed it in front of Brother Windcloud Nine. With a delightful smile still hanging on her face, she teased Brother Windcloud Nine, “Hubby, I didn’t spin the wheel, so I didn’t die.”
Brother Windcloud Nine massaged his temples as if clearing a headache.
It was then that The Cat that Sings had walked forward and uttered, “You’ll die in the next floor anyways, so you should have spun the wheel.”
As expected, Sister Windcloud Nine died moments after entering the fifty-first floor…
The party carried onward, and since the floor was a forest stage, as long as they followed the correct path, they could effortlessly clear it.
The only reason Sister Windcloud Nine had died was that she had idiotically run into a tree, which caused a trap to be activated.
On the fifty-second floor, the players encountered yet another desert stage, and early on, they separated in order to locate the exit by themselves, as only one player needed to pass the stage for everyone else to clear it.
In the end, it was Li Yi who located the exit, and after he expended another Party Summon, the party was sent to the next floor.
In terms of strength, Li Yi, Brother Windcloud Nine, Jiaojiao and the others could be considered as among the strongest within King of Pantheon. Furthermore, for Li Yi who possessed memories of his past life, if he were to claim himself as the second strongest, there would be no one else who would dare to claim themselves as the strongest.
The party’s run at the Tower of Remorse this time was different from their previous attempts as they were well prepared this time. Furthermore, everyone had obtained considerable power boosts, especially Brother Windcloud Nine, who after his conversion to a God-chastised Paladin had contributed several times more than when he was in his old class.
The party then carried onto the fifty-third floor, which was an arctic stage. Ten minutes later, they reached the fifty-fourth floor, which was a hill stage, and it was cleared within five minutes. On the fifty-fifth stage, the party reached a forest stage, and they cleared it effortlessly…
The party played continuously from day to night, resting only for a short thirty minutes, and when the clock had struck midnight, Li Yi and his party had already reached the seventy-seventh stage.
A new tower-clearing record had been given birth…
…
