While looking at the skills, Arthur gave a sigh. He wasen't able to obtain teleporatation skill for now. As wanted to clear the first floor of the tower as early as possible, he couldn't wait for months.
So he learned the skills which Austin gave him. Today he is going for the tower. As tommorow is off, so even though Arthur dosen't know how much time it will take for him to clear the floor, he won't be disturbed.
Arthur appeared in front of the tower. The tower was black and white in colour and looked grand and majestic. It gave off an ancient feeling. A gigantic gate covered with runes was the only entrance. While looking at the tower he had a weird feeling that the tower was alive.
When Arthur looked up he felt a chill down his spine and immediately looked down. He felt that he had commited something sinful and saw something he shouldn't. He suddenly had a urge to kill himself. Astonished, he immediately supressed it.
After calming himself, Arthur walked in front of the gate while not looking up.
The gate opened and he walked in. The inside was completely black and even the light from outside couldn't light it. Just as the gate closed Arther felt a terrifying pressure, pushing him down.
Arthur found that he couldn't move but he was able to use his skills. He couldn't see anything due to the darkness.
Arthur was on full alert and checked his surroundings. He didn't heard anything. He contacted system but no response came. Just as he thinking of what to do next, he heard a voice in his head.
"WHY ARE YOU HERE?"
"WHAT DO YOU WANT? "
"WHAT IS YOUR GOAL?"
With every question the pressure on Arthur increased. He fell on the floor, unable to get up.
"I want revenge. To kill those who still wanted to kill me." Arthur said, remembering the moment when the system told him about Evan's goal.
"WRONG! THIS IS NOT WHAT YOU TRULY WANT."
Arthur was taken aback. The pressure on him increased. After thinking for some time, he spoke.
"To change humanity."
"WRONG! YOU NEVER WANTED TO CHANGE HUMANITY. YOU JUST WANT TO KILL THOSE WHO COMMITED CRIMES. YOU CAN NEVER CHANGE HUMANITY THIS WAY."
"YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOUR OWN GOAL. YET YOU DARED TO COME HERE."
As the voice continued speaking, the peessure on Arthur also increased. He couldn't hold any longer and fell unconscious.
In the dream Arthur found himself back on earth, on the day he died. The same things happened. After having the same weird dream, he transmigrated and after the fight with other protectors, he time traveled into the future. Arthur wasen't able to control his body. His body moved itself. He could only watch as things happened.
He entered the tower and just like before he wasen't able to answer. After falling unconscious, the things repeated again.
Arthur don't know how many times things have repeated. No matter what he did, he wasen't able to get out of this loop. The only reason he was able to persist was because he was always able to see his parents of both worlds.
Through this loop, Arthur was able to continuously watch his actions, he learned more about his inner self.
He found that he didn't have a proper goal. Even though he wanted revenge and kill Evans. Even though he wanted to change humanity. But these weren't his goals. These were only the things he wanted to do. He never made them his goal.
At that time Arthur went back on earth. But this time something different happened. He was able to see the dream clearly this time.
He saw a big tsunami coming towards him. A meteorite was falling. The moment the tsunami hit Arthur, everything around him changed.
He found himself in sea. The water around him was calm. He was getting away from the surface. He tried to go up, but he couldn't.
At that moment, a person came and dragged him out and threw at the beach. He saw some people laughing and looking at him.
------
The moment Arthur woke up, he heard the voice in his head again.
"WHY ARE YOU HERE?"
"WHAT DO YOU WANT? "
"WHAT IS YOUR GOAL?"
With each question, the pressure on Arthur increased. But he didn't panic this time. After seeing his previous lives many time, he was able to found it. A single world left his mouth.
Divine
Divine! The word echoed in the darkness.
The pressure on him immediately disappeared and he heard a voice.
"See you at the top."
The surroundings changed around him changed. He was no longer in that place filled with darkness. He was in grassland.
"Trail has started"
"Kill all the demonic silver wolves"
Arthur looked around and saw nothing other than some black dots in the distance. The size of the dots continued to increase. After some time Arthur was finally able to see their appearence.
As the name suggester the monsters looked like wolves except that they were bigger in size and their eyes were completely white. Their fur was black in colour and black flame covered them.
Arthur felt uncomfortable looking at their white eyes. Once the wolves were in his attacking range, he immediately attacked.
Thunder Ball
Thunder Spear
A spear came out from a magic circle in the air and quickly pierced the body of a demonic wolf before it dogded. The spear exploded injuring the surrounding wolves a little.
The thunder ball left Arthur's palm and striked towards the region where the wolves were greater in number. The wolves tried to evade, but some were caught in the explosion and became paralysed. The next thunder ball finished them.
