Chapter 442: Halfway to the Top
As our group kept moving from the 41st floor upwards, we started getting attacked by the ashen-white devils.
There weren’t that many of the ancient devils in general, so it wasn’t a big deal for us to keep advancing, even when we kept getting ambushed every few minutes.
The levels that came after the 41st had the same liminal layout, so I kept using fire magic to mark a few arrows on the walls and ground, which led to the staircase going up.
When we arrived on floor 49th, I sent a voice message to the other groups in the levels under us, and I was glad to know that they were also advancing without much resistance.
Once we found the staircase leading to the 50th floor, I gulped in anticipation, knowing that we would officially be halfway done with the tower. Of course, the big challenge was still a long way above us.
The 50th floor had another abandoned city in it. However, all of the building’s facades looked different from what we had seen in the previous levels, giving them a slightly more regal and elegant look to them.
Still, the whole floor was abandoned, so it didn’t matter how fancy the place tried to look, as it didn’t affect the sense of dread and eeriness that we felt when we entered.
We could sense strong signals of demonic energy around us, so we knew that we weren’t alone. However, they felt similar to the aura emanating from the ancient fiends, which meant we could take them on without much effort.
As we walked through the desolate street, Vespera released some of her demon spiders to scout the place and look for the next staircase. Meanwhile, Arashi and Frost extruded their dragon wings from their backs and started flying around to do the same.
