Varian found himself in a vast plain. If only the sky wasn't glowing with a green light, he'd have thought it was a normal place.
As he surveyed his surroundings, the wind howled.
Varian turned around and saw the phantom of a young man being condensed.
Tower of Trials had only six floors, corresponding to six levels.
Since Varian's highest level was 4, he directly entered fourth floor.
For each floor, the tower would store the information of top 1000 candidates of said level of the year.
That meant, Varian would be facing the 1000th strongest Level 4.
If one could defeat the phantom, they'd replace the its ranking, becoming the new 1000th.
Zap!
Right after being condensed, the phantom launched a lighting bolt at Varian.
It was the attack from a Low Level 4.
Varian didn't? care and teleported right behind the phantom.
He covered his fist in lightning mana and blasted the phantom's head to pieces.
Wriggle!
Slowly, it disappeared and aura from the surroundings flowed into Varian's body. There was also a pale green light.
If he was exhausted, he could recover his aura. If he was injured, he could also heal himself quickly.

A line of text floated in front of Varian.
"Boo, this is an expanded space, right?" Varian glanced at the seemingly endless space and enquired.
"Yes, master. Each person entering the tower would be transferred to a separate space."
"As expected from Devas. I don't know how strong they were." Varian sighed in marvel.
Devas were the civilization that existed before humans. For unknowns reasons, they went extinct. Even their legacies vanished.
It was only after Blink, with the resurgence of Aura that the remnants of Devas were discovered.
They were called Ruins. They were a separate world altogether and contained every treasure one could dream of. And more.
Tower of Trials couldn't be made by humans. It was made by Devas thousands of years ago.
Even Boo, who was from a higher civilization, lost many of its capabilities after 500 years.
The treasures it had, like the formations also devolved in a period of 500 years.
But this Sovereign Treasure showed no sign of degradation.
Varian shook his head and clicked on the screen.
The tower evaluated his strength from his first fight and picked a suitable opponent for him.
Or who the heck would fight thousand people to get to rank one?
[Rank 490, Mid Level 4.]
Varian looked at the female phantom. It was now more solid and looked like a real person.
She disappeared and as Varian was about to turn around, he felt the space around him solidify.
No. It wasn't merely solidifying. It was strangling him.
The space was literally tightening on him.
Varian spread his space sense and caught the female phantom raising her fist.
She covered herself in Space Armor and the damage of her kick would be equivalent to a Level 4 Body Awakener.
"Hmph!" Varian used his space power to loosen the strangle on his neck and with physical strength, broke the strangle.
The opponent saw him escape and was about to teleport, but before she could, Varian solidified the space around her.
She quickly broke it with her own space power. But what awaited next was a lightning bolt that pushed her back.
Then Varian's kick in the chest broke her heart, literally and killed her.
The phantom turned into a stream of light and disappeared.
[Click when you want to start the next round.]
The screen appeared again and Varian didn't want to wait.
[Rank 100: Level 4 High]
Varian looked around and saw mountains, streams and lush plains.
But not the phantom.
Usually, the phantom would appear in the most favorable place.
So if it was hidden, then…
Varian suddenly clutched his head. It seemed like everything inside his head was pricked by needles and cut by knives.
Sweat quickly rolled down his forehead and Varian gritted his teeth as he felt the pain pile up bit by bit.
A Level 4 Mind Awakener, no, a Level 4 Telepath.
They messed with the minds of others and if one was mentally weak, they could easily bring down an awakener of the same level to knees.
Varian bore the pain and teleported out.
The pain vanished for a moment before it resumed.
Mind Awakeners were a pain in the mind. They had mental sense and their range of sensing was higher compared to any other path.
At Level 4, Mind Awakeners picked either Telepath or Telekinetic.
Since this guy was a Telepath, despite his overwhelming offense, he had the same weakness every Telepath had.
Extremely low physical defense. Even their other physical stats were only slighter better than unawakened.
So one hit and they'd be over.
That was why Mind Awakeners usually activated from a very remote location.
Of course, the higher the level, the more mental attacks other divine paths could bear.
But now, he had to end this guy before he fainted from pain.
Varian continued to teleport and due to the break, it took the other party a second to continue to his attacks.
Varian spread his thunder sense, and space sense, trying to find the traces of telepath.
Concentrating on his hearing to find the other party's breathing was just too tough with all the pain in his mind.
What's more, this was his first mind facing this much pain.
The Despair Abyss Queen's clone was also a mind awakener and she too attacked his mind, but the conditions then were heavily tilted in his favor.
She was merely a few dozen meters away and stood in the open. For any mental awakener, that was a taboo.
So Varian ended easily.
But now, "Damn, this guy. I'll need more practice to take on telepaths. Even having multiple paths seems use—"
Varian's multiple paths were always his strength. Even now when he couldn't use his physical senses properly, he was relying on Space and Lightning Sense.
But that was all there to it, he was still in trouble.
"Wait, I forgot! System, lift my Morpher Path." Varian hurriedly instructed.
Generally when going out, Varian kept only three paths active.
In the worst case his powers were revealed, he'd still be a Triple Awakener, which was in the realm of possibility.
But if he revealed four divine paths…that'd be end of his road.
However, now that he was in the tower, Varian didn't care anymore.
[Morpher Path lifted]
