Chapter 403 [403] Trial of the Heavenly demon!
[Item Name: Miracle Tear]
Rarity: SSS
Description:
Miracle Tear is an exceedingly rare and one-time-use item, renowned for its remarkable healing properties. This precious gemstone is the ultimate life-saver, capable of mending any physical injury or ailment with incredible precision. However, it is important to note that the Miracle Tear cannot dispel curses, hexes, or other magical afflictions; its power is solely focused on restoring the body. Unlike an Elven tear, it is incapable of dealing with curses and such. It also cannot work on Individuals higher in rank than it.
This teardrop-shaped crystal is pure white but is able to change color depending on the severity and type of injury it is about to heal. The Miracle Tear fits comfortably in the palm of your hand, making it easy to carry and utilize when the need arises.
It can heal all physical injuries.]
My jaw dropped to the floor when I read the description.
"I have only one left now…I used one on me and one on you."
The words of the president shocked me.
He had three of these?! AND used one on me?!
"Why?!"
I asked, unable to understand why someone would use such a precious thing on someone like me! Someone they barely knew!
However, the answer was something I wasn't expecting.
Daniel lay on the ground, laughing. He used his hands as a pillow and said.
"Why not?"
…
…
…
Ah, I had forgotten, this man was similar to Elijah. Just without the special perks Elijah had.
"I'm just joking."
His words caught my attention.
"You are a student of Shield and also a member of the Student Council, I am the President of the council. It is my responsibility to take care of all students of Shield."
…
…
…
How admirable. Truly.
"SIgh…"
I let out a sigh and gave the crystal back to him. I stared at the ceiling, my tired mind wanting some rest.
question."
"The thirtieth floor."
"How did you become like this?"
I asked, yet I wondered why. I already knew the answer to my own question."
"The thirtieth floor."
He said with a defeated voice. His happy and joyous demeanor disappeared for a second.
Yeah, I was right. The 30th floor had done this to him.
"What happened?"
I asked, I know this was not nice, in fact, it could be said to be very rude…But I craved information. I want to know. I want any edge I can have over the "heavenly Demon."
The one who was even stronger than the man called the Sword Emperor. The man who had managed to kill me. If not for Daniel, I would have been dead.
"I got my ass kicked…what else?"
Before I could inquire further, He explained it to me as if he read my thoughts.
"He uses a sword, A Jian if I recall correctly. It's as black as the night and…I don't know what else."
"What?"
So short? What? That's it?
Should it not be more?
"Yeah, I don't know anymore. I lost before I could do anything. He dealt with me like one would deal with an ant. I was just that insignificant to him. It was as if I…wasn't facing a man."
His next words made my eyes widen.
…
So it was that great huh?
"Haha…"
I let out a dry laugh.
"Way to crush my hopes…"
Daniel laughed when he heard my words. But comforted me soon after.
"It's fine…you are better than me. If even you can't clear it then we have no hope."
He stood up and looked me straight in the eyes.
"Alan, do your best."
There was a sense of…hope. Or rather expectation in his eyes.
I sighed.
"I will."
Come on, It's the president of the student council who asked me to do this. I have to…
And besides, My sister is suffering. I don't give a fuck what it is. I am getting her cure.
I don't care if this accursed tower even puts me in front of Gods. I will clear this damn thing and get that cure.
That's the only way to heal Samantha now…
No matter what, I will get that cure.
I gazed at the miracle tear in my hands once again. If only…If only this thing could cure curses as well.
But it's not mine, so I can't even say anything.
I gave the crystal tear back to Daniel. He held it for a second before tossing it to me.
I caught it, surprised.
"Take it, you will need it more than me anyway."
What?
"I can't accept this…!"
I tried to give it back but I was rejected yet again.
"Alan."
I stopped trying and listened closely when he uttered my name.
"It's ok."
A defeated smile was present on his face.
…Was the heavenly demon so strong that he rendered the president, who was always happy and cheerful…to this?
A tight sensation gripped my heart. I have to fight him.
I will defeat him.
"It's of more use to you than it is to me…So go on."
"..."
I could not say anything when I looked at Daniel's sad face. Twice he had tried, and twice he had failed.
He had failed so miserably that he gave up hope.
"I'm gonna exit the tower now…I need to get some proper rest."
He said as he stood up.
"President."
I called out to him.
"Thanks."
I thanked him. I need to thank him. He gave me such a precious Item after all.
If I didn't…Then I would just feel bad.
"No worries."
Ah, he is back to his usual old smile. Thank god.
"I'll repay you back. I promise."
"No need."
"I will."
I insisted. I need to pay him back for such a life-saving Item.
"Sigh…"
The president sighed, he knew I wouldn't give up on this. That was just the type of guy I was.
"Alright, clear this floor and consider it repaid."
"Alright!"
Although it may seem lacking, I don't think he will move on from this. I am just satisfied I can repay it, at least somewhat.
"I'll go challenge it right now."
"What? Shouldn't you get some rest?"
He advised, but I just looked at him with a smile and said.
"Nah, I think I'm ready."
My wounds have been healed, and I feel as if the longer I stay here the more afraid I will become. The more I doubt myself.
So it's better to challenge it now. When I am still happy and have a clear mind.
"...Good luck."
I smiled.
[You have entered the next floor, The 30th trial.]
