The Villain's Story Chapter [421] Trial of Strength.

Chapter 421 [421] Trial of Strength.

"...holy s.h.i.+t!"

I exclaimed, amazed at the weapon before me.

I picked up the 'new' Ame-no-sakahoko and examined the appearance of the spear closely.

The outside didn't change much, only a blackish edge had been added to the blade, and the demonic eye present of the Blade of the blackest ink was now present on the hilt of the spear. The spear handle remained the same.

But I could instinctively feel the immense power that was now present in the Ame-No-Sakahoko.

[Supreme Dragon of Frost Lanesha is excited!]

"I am too!"

I hurriedly accessed the properties of the Ame-no-Sakahoko with the dragon eyes.

[|DRAGON EYES| have been activated.]

I ignored the pain, and let out an awed gasp.

[Ame-No-Sakahoko]

Type: Hoko(Spear).

Rank: SSS

Description:

Ame No Sakahoko, the Upturned Sky spear, was a Hoko used by the twin j.a.panese G.o.ds Izanagi and Izanami to calm the chaos and create the land. It has the ability to control the weather. It was later given to the G.o.d Ninigi-No-Mikoto, who was sent to the ground to become its ruler.

It is a spear that is worthy of great respect.

—

Although the changes in the techniques and skills of the blade were only minor additions to the shadow element…the Grade had advanced entirely!

The Ame-no-Sakahoko was now an SSS-ranked weapon! Weapons of such were so rare on Earth that they could be counted on one hand! One hand!

I only know of four people who had an SSS-ranked piece of equipment, those were Master, Sir Oliver, Ragnar, and Harrison Soubuelle. Maybe the leader of the Obelisk was also in possession of one, but I am not aware of it.

"Well, this is a nice upgrade."

I said, satisfied with the changes. Although this was not much, it was quite good for my current self.

Which B-rank ever wielded an SSS-ranked weapon except me? Huh?

No one!

[Do you wish to challenge the next floor?]

The tower's voice resounded in the room, and I laughed.

"What? Finally speaking now?"

I wanted to say something much worse…but I held off. Who knows whether this thing can hold a grudge or not? I don't wanna test that.

"Yes."

I answered, lightly stretching.

'Seventy floors left…'

[You are being transported to the thirty-first floor.]

Just wait Sam, I will clear this tower quickly…and get your cure!

***********

[31st floor, Trial of Strength.]

Immediately after entering the 31st floor, I could feel my power diminis.h.i.+ng.

[Strength is the only power.]

A voice resounded in my head, it was different than that of the towers…much different. Whilst the tower usually had an emotionless, metallic voice. This voice was prideful, meaningful even. The entire thirty-first floor was white, not a single decoration or even a different sort of material.

All white, whilst the voice…

It was as if it belonged to a burly old man.

[All attributes except for strength have been locked. Weapons are also included.]

[Defeat the enemy, who is your copy, with your strength and strength alone.]

My weapon and even my armor vanished from my body. Thankfully, the tower was sensible enough to not leave me naked.

In place of the armor covering my body, there was now a black vest and trousers.

'Nice.'

I commented, finding the clothing to be comfortable. Although the armor provided a higher degree of protection, it was hard to move in. With this set of clothing, I have more freedom of movement. My tattoos and muscles are visible…which does disturb me somewhat but I cannot do anything about it now.

Although it's a shame I cannot test the new additions to the spear…this much will do.

I can test those out another time.

[Copy is being formed.]

The voice resounded once again, A bright blue light shone in the opposite corner of the room, and I stared at it.

The blue light coalesced to form a figure, exactly like mine.

Just devoid of any outward features I possessed, The entire figure that had been formed was white.

Pure white, it possessed a face but with no facial features, it possessed my muscles but no skin.

A creature of full white.

[The copy has equal strength to you, so defeat it.]

The voice resounded again, and without a second of delay, the figure charged at me at incredible speed.

It raised its fist and attempted to punch me, I smirked and grabbed the fist with my hand.

I tried to punch it, but it repeated my movement. It caught my fist with its palm and now we were both in a deadlock.

"Strength huh…"

I laughed, the trial was simple!

I can only use strength? No problem.

My master, Sword Saint Arken had beat into me a thousand hand-to-hand combat techniques! If this figure can only use my strength.

Then he will lose…I can a.s.sure you that! All the pain I endured learning those techniques was not in vain!

"Let's fight!"

I retracted my hands, and not even a moment later I reached forward to grab the neck of the Figure. I succeeded and it tried to release my grip.

But that was the wrong move in this situation. I yanked the figure closer to me and kneed it in the liver area. I did not know if this thing had internal organs but the blow would have hurt nonetheless.

I immediately followed my attack with an uppercut with my elbow, and then I twisted my body and kicked it in the stomach.

The figure flew past, and I smirked.

"Come on! It's a fight of strength…no?"

I charged at the figure, giving it no time to recover.
