"I was the one who got here first, but now she's one step ahead of me. Sure enough, it's good to have information."
Kaede Sato watched as Sirona defeated the sand fairies around him and headed to the second floor like a rocket. He had a feeling that he was the one who got here first, but he quickly shook his head and said helplessly, "I'm the one who got here first.
To be honest, he was very grateful that Sirona had told him so much about the Phantom Tower for free. This would undoubtedly save him a lot of trouble in the Phantom Tower.
For example, he initially came to the fourth floor of the Phantom Tower, but now he didn't want to go to the fourth floor at all. This was because he couldn't even pass the trial on the third floor, let alone the fourth floor, which was even more difficult. Would he be courting death?
Based on his understanding of Sirona, this proud and arrogant girl wouldn't bother to lie. In this case, based on the strength that he had displayed so far, he could only stop at the second floor.
However, this didn't matter anymore. There wasn't much time left for him to train in the Phantom Tower. He had to make full use of the remaining time to train the sand fairies in his hands.
"Come out, all of you. Let's make the battle even fiercer."
After Sirona completely disappeared from his sight, Kaede Sato immediately released all the sand fairies in his hands and said with anticipation.
Sure enough, when Kaede Sato released all the sand fairies, a large number of sand pillars emerged from the nearby sand. These sand pillars quickly merged together and formed sand fairies that were equal in number to the ones in Kaede Sato's hands.
The battle was on the verge of breaking out. A great battle began on the first floor of the Illusory Tower. Immediately after, a series of rumbling sounds began to resound in the Illusory Tower. From time to time, the Illusory Tower would slightly shake.
"What's going on? Is there an earthquake?"
On the second floor of the Phantom Tower, Sirona, who was looking for the stairs to the third floor, felt the tremors under her feet and looked at the sand and gravel falling from the ceiling from time to time. She was very puzzled.
"Let's speed up, Lucario. Please use the Wave Guide to find the stairs."
Sirona's expression changed when she saw the 'aftershocks'. She didn't care about the consumption of the waveguide power in Lucario's body. She immediately ordered Lucario to use the waveguide power to search for the stairs leading to the third floor.
With Lucario's help, Sirona quickly found the stairs leading to the third floor. However, the aftershocks of the earthquake only eased for a short while before becoming intense again.
About 50 minutes later, outside the Phantom Tower, a person was suddenly thrown out from the second floor of the Phantom Tower. Then, he fell hard onto the sand, falling flat on his face.
"Ouch, it hurts. Isn't it just a little bit of damage? Is there a need to be so ruthless? Even my superpower is sealed."
"Oh my god, is this tower really intelligent? It can actually move on its own. This is amazing. No wonder people in the desert say that it's all luck to meet it."
Kaede Sato gritted his teeth as he got up from the sand. He patted his dusty clothes and muttered softly. Then, when he raised his head, his face was suddenly filled with surprise. He couldn't help but exclaim.
At the same time, the Phantom Tower in front of Kaede Sato began to rise rapidly from the ground. Then, sand began to fly around it.
Soon, the towering earthen tower disappeared from Kaede Sato's sight under the cover of the sandstorm.
However, although the Phantom Tower had escaped and mercilessly expelled Kaede Sato, Kaede Sato was in an unusually good mood at the moment.
Because in the one hour in the Phantom Tower, Kaede Sato had gained a lot of benefits. The Sand Sprites under him had all leveled up after a series of high-intensity battles.
Among them, the one who gained the most was the Giant Swamp Monster. In the second floor of the trial, Kaede Sato almost only let the Giant Swamp Monster fight alone. The Giant Swamp Monster fought one battle after another with many Sand Sprites at the pinnacle of the Quasi-Heavenly King stage.
Here, because he could fight with all his might without worrying about killing his opponents, the Giant Swamp Monster quickly mastered a power that he had never displayed since he received Gaioka's Mark of Blessing.
At the same time, in this fierce battle, the Giant Swamp Monster's level finally reached 69.
"The Phantom Tower is really a great opportunity. I'm just one step away from the Heavenly King stage."
Kaede Sato looked at the Phantom Tower that was already far away. He stood up from the sand and thought excitedly.
Next, he rested on the spot for a while and let Rosebud heal the Sand Sprites. He then took out a map and a compass from his Space Backpack and began to walk in the direction of the ruins exploration team's encampment.
Around noon on the second day, Kaede Sato successfully returned to the encampment.
After a few days of reorganization and restoration, the encampment that was originally in a mess due to the sandstorm and the wild Sand Sprites' attacks had been restored to its original tidy state. Moreover, the encampment had a lot more machinery and instruments, but it was slightly less popular than before.
"Mr. Zheping has returned. Lord Kamiyo told us to look for him when you return."
The two guards at the entrance of the encampment immediately greeted Kaede Sato with a smile when they saw the travel-worn Kaede Sato.
The story of Kaede Sato turning the tide that night had already spread throughout the encampment. In addition to his identity as an esper, the people in the encampment were very respectful of Kaede Sato. His prestige in the encampment was probably below the two Heavenly King level trainers, Kamiyo and Sirona.
"I see. Thank you for telling me."
Kaede Sato heard and politely saluted the guards. Then, he exchanged some pleasantries with them and inquired about the recent situation in the encampment. He then strode into the encampment and walked toward the largest building in the center of the encampment.
It turned out that during the few days he was away, Kamiyo was worried that the encampment would be attacked by the wild Sand Sprites again. He did not hesitate to gather more people, and under the drive of huge profits, the preparations for the ruin exploration were quickly completed.
Most of the people were already in place, and the only thing missing was the matter of removing the seal of the ruin.
However, just yesterday, Sirona had finished deciphering the seal of the ruin and found a way to remove the seal. It would not be long before the ruin exploration could begin.
Kaede Sato recalled what Sirona said when he met her yesterday. He immediately connected the dots and thought that Sirona's method of removing the seal of the ruin was most likely hidden in the Phantom Tower.
"The Phantom Tower is already so mysterious and strange. I wonder what the ruin will be like this time. I hope this ruin exploration will be a blessing in disguise." Kaede Sato thought as he looked at the sky.
