Chapter 76: Entering The Holy Tower part 1

The first thing that came to their minds was to attack Ibro personally. They hesitated because those in front of them won't let them do it.

Their powers were evenly matched so any move from them meant they would lose without a doubt. The second best option was to risk withdrawing and ask for reinforcement.

Till now they didn't know the real reason behind this troublesome war. All they knew was that this person posed a huge threat to them. They needed to eliminate this threat immediately.

Ibro wasn't aware of this dilemma he caused to his enemies. He kept killing and killing without a stop. Suddenly there was a strange horn sound that caught everyone's attention.

Ibro didn't know what this horn meant but from the expression of those around him, he understood what this meant. That was the withdrawal horn. Ibro didn't stop his killing.

He wasn't alone; all the army on this battlefield began to attack these monsters with high spirit and confidence. The leaders above didn't bother anymore with these monsters.

They knew they were just disposable pawns that meant nothing either to them or to their superiors. Their minds were busy thinking about this problem they had to solve.

Should they ask for their heaviest troops? They would think carefully after they escape from here. In just a few minutes, these leaders were nowhere to be seen. Their speed was very fast.

The rest of the army of monsters was slaughtered and a small number of them survived. Ibro stood in his place drenched in blood and his body was eager to more action.

He loved this way of fighting. Although he was a dark magician at his game but he knew now his power had far exceeded any game logic. He asked Dronil:

'Will I obtain a higher level than I already had when I go back home?'

'In fact, all that you gained was another form of energy other than XP. So although your stats will see revolutionary changes, your level will still be the same.'

Although he was a little disappointed but he still gained a lot of free stats points. He remembered that Jognak curse so he asked again:

'Will I be subjected to Jognak's curse while I'm not playing the game?'

'No, that monster curse depended on the game system to be implemented. Outside the game, you won't lose any levels.'

Ibro felt relieved. If he would be punished here too with Jognak's curse then his problems would have increased by one. While he was thinking about these issues, Amira stood nearby him observing him very carefully.

She was sure about her previous assessment of his powers. He was a weakling! So why on the battlefield he transformed? He either was hiding his true strength before or he got a secret way to raise his powers in battle.

She leaned more to the second possibility. She believed so as she thought that was the reason for that sudden heavy attack on this world.

Ibro didn't notice these strange looks from those around him. Amira wasn't the only one who thought about this contradictory situation.

But everyone let this matter off their shoulders as they trusted their supreme leader would judge in this matter fairly. All did so except for two, Amira and Donal.

Amira was trying to unveil this mystery that clouded him. She treated him very badly at first, so why would he try and help her? She remembered that dirty shout of that cheater Donal.

She knew if he reached her and played the role of her savior then she would prefer to kill herself instead. She tried to see the true him so she could know his true intentions towards her.

On the other hand, Donal was having more complicated feelings. He was in a deep dilemma. He received instructions from his superiors. If he did as they asked him then he would lose everything.

He felt conflicted. He didn't want to lose everything he worked hard to do. He glanced at Ibro and wanted to kill him with his bare hands. He was the whole reason why he was in such a sorry state.

Instead of the glory that he would have, he became just another normal captain here. He wanted to use this nave weak girl as a stepping stone for his glorious future.

He didn't think that would all be lost because of this stranger.

"Ibro, come with me right now."

Ibro looked high up in the sky. That supreme leader was descending like a mighty angel from the sky. Ibro was about to ask him about how he knew his name but he recalled his strange ability of mind reading.

He totally neglected this ability. Was he concentrated on him during the fight? That would be impossible right?

'Don't worry that much. After I was upgraded to the next level, I got the power to resist his ability.'

'but that meant he might have known everything before that, right?'

'And the problem is where exactly?'

Ibro felt speechless. Indeed, what was the problem in his getting stronger! If this was his secret, it wasn't his most dangerous one at least.

Even if he knew it he couldn't intervene and prevent him from raising his powers. Ibro looked directly straight to the supreme leader's eyes. When he reached the ground he said:

"Follow me."

Ibro walked behind the supreme commander. At first, he was walking behind him penetrating the huge crowd of soldiers. Bit by bit he suddenly felt all his surroundings to be blurry.

He raised his vigilance at once. Although he used all of his Even runes in this war, he still had his Odd runes. if this man's intentions were bad for him he wouldn't fall without a fight. Ibro kept walking forward till he disappeared from everyone's eyesight.

'Are you kidding me? I worked my ass all my life and in just one battle you make him enter the holy grounds?'

Donal eyes were crimson red. He glared at Amira and thought:

'It must because he saved you from my clutches. Fine princess; let's see how your prince will do when I hit him hard. It's your entire fault bitch.'

Ibro wasn't aware of this scheme against him. He stood in his place speechless. The place he appeared at was very wide. It was also vast plain land.

He didn't know what the reason behind these people's love for plains was. What rendered him speechless was the presence of this huge building in the middle of these plains.

That building was like a huge tower that had no end at all. In front of this tower, there were many old looking people similar to the supreme commander. Ibro looked at the supreme commander who explained:

"I know that you tried to help my daughter in this war. You actually did this excellently. But all of us back there noticed your big role in winning this war.

The war began because of you and ended because of you too. So we decided to award you by giving you a chance to ascend our holy tower."

Ibro felt glad for this man. He didn't start his speech trying to uncover his secrets, but he praised him. He was now trying to award him. Ibro didn't know what that holly tower meant so he suggested:

"I'm happy by your appreciation and words of praise. But I want to recommend Amira to take this chance instead of me."

The man laughed and said jokingly:

"Why are you letting this precious chance go? Do you love my daughter to this degree?"

Ibro laughed and answered:

"I really like her but I'm not in love with her. I have a GF back home."

"Then you should take her with you when you leave. You intend to leave soon, right?"

Ibro felt weird from this man's words. Was he trying to send his own daughter with him in the unknown? Why would a father do something like this? He thought he must be joking with him so Ibro said:

"I really need to leave, but I still don't know when."

The man looked at Ibro deeply. After strange moments of silence, he looked again to the tower and said:

"I really admire your sincere intentions to help my daughter, but you still know nothing about this place rules. When you got chosen that meant it is the highest honor any warrior can get in our Empire.

This tower here has its own wisdom. All we can do as supreme leaders is to recommend someone to come here. If the tower soul sees him fit to come here then he would have permission to enter the tower.

If the tower soul doesn't agree then we can do nothing. You got recommended by us and were assessed by the tower soul and you got the holy invitation to enter this tower.

This invitation is solely for you and you can't deliver it to anyone else. So you can't give my daughter your holy invitation."
