Pato Ironscale's mouth had long since fallen into an O, wide enough to swallow an asteroid.
"Th-the sixth floor... 1 minute 15 seconds... H-how did he even do that?" Another old member spoke in a dry, hoarse voice.
Kains Radiance stared blankly at the point of light that had appeared on the seventh floor, his eyes utterly vacant.
The blood had drained from his flawless face beneath the holy radiance, leaving behind only near-blank bewilderment.
He could not even clear the fifth floor. Even giving it everything he had, he had only lasted five minutes.
Yet this fellow from the same cohort, whose true identity was still unknown, had cleared six floors in 1 minute 15 seconds!
The combat power he had always taken such pride in looked so pale and feeble before the other man.
At that moment, as he looked at the point of light that had already risen to the seventh floor, not a shred of competitive fighting spirit remained in his eyes.
When the gap had not been too great, he could still summon the desire to catch up.
But now... he had completely given up.
"The... seventh floor..." Lauen Make, who was still inside the tower and had only just entered the third floor, muttered.
Looking at the point of light shining on the seventh floor, he rubbed his eyes hard, making sure he had not seen wrong.
This result completely overturned his understanding of the Heaven-Piercing Tower's difficulty.
This could no longer be described as mere genius. This was a "monster"!
For the first time, intense emotion appeared on Instructor Blood Edge's face.
His sharp gaze seemed as though it wanted to pierce through the tower walls and see everything happening inside.
"The seventh floor..." Blood Edge's deep voice slowly sounded, breaking the silence.
