The Peak of Madness required Wen Xishu to choose whether to swap identities or attributes with a tower guardian.
But that choice had yet to appear. What Wen Xishu had not expected was that the Peak of Madness was actually rather generous...
So generous that it even let him screen the bosses.
Something suddenly occurred to him.
Saving Senior Evelyn.
If he could use his questions to select the progenitor of the Ruinbringers, the one who controlled time...
Could he resolve Evelyn's crisis?
Although Evelyn had already spent six days in the Desire Tower, and there was a possibility she had died during the first few days...
As long as he had no definitive answer, Wen Xishu wanted to give it a try.
"Which of you possesses time-based powers? Those who do, take one step forward. Those who don't, take one step back."
He did not know how many questions he could ask. He could only make each one count and narrow the field step by step.
Many, many monsters stepped back. Fewer than five figures took a step forward.
One of them wore flowing robes. Though only a silhouette was visible, the figure seemed like a wandering swordsman holding a sword.
Someone from ancient times? From the Ancient storyline... Could he be connected to Aries? A source of tower power!
This Ancient Swordsman did not resemble an Eastern Isles warrior, but a Longxia swordsman.
Wen Xishu immediately grew interested. After all... an ancient being was very likely to have something to do with tower power.
An ancient swordsman... who controlled time? He looked like someone with quite a story.
Swapping attributes or identities with him would both be worth trying.
Wen Xishu had not noticed this swordsman at first, because there were simply too many bizarre bosses packed together
