Chapter 781 The Tower of Taurus (1)
"I choose the third option!" Jacob declared without hesitation.
Although he knew the third option would result in the death penalty, he was also confident in himself. After all, no one with his current prowess had taken this trial, and this was his biggest advantage.
Even if there were even harsher penalties, Jacob would've done the same thing since he wanted to acquire the Ascension Permit, or who knows when he gets such a chance. Just like the Legendary Key, the Ascension Permit was equally important if he wanted to continue his journey. Furthermore, he knew Immortika also told him about the Ascension Permit because Immortika knew if he didn't find this Ascension Permit worth it, he might not select this option at all.
At this moment, the voice from the Tower of Taurus responded to his choice, and the Legendary Key suddenly released a strong light. Jacob felt a powerful pulling force, and he let go of the key.
The next moment, the key turned into an emerald light and bolted towards the symbol above the door before vanishing within.
"You have used the Legendary Key to instigate the 'Star King' difficulty level Tower Trial!
"The Star King Tower Trial of Taurus has been opened!"
The very next moment, the closed door started to pull inwardly, revealing a pitch-black opening. Even Jacob couldn't see anything, which surprised him.
But since he had already decided, he entered without hesitation and vanished into the darkness before the door instantly closed. The starry light on the tower dimmed down, and only the symbol of Taurus continued to shimmer in mystical light.
Although Jacob didn't know how much he guessed right, with the current information he had, this was the only possible explanation he could think of.
Nonetheless, he was more than happy not to hear that annoying, eerie voice. Furthermore, if Cursed Immortality could easily see through these trials and provide him with guidance, these trials would be a breeze for him.
So, without hesitation, he closed the cursed book and started making his way towards the path ahead. Although all he had to do was navigate through this terrain filled with traps, it wasn't as simple as it sounds.
First, he can't be injured or trigger any traps, or the trial will fail directly, and he knows the consequence will be death. Second, if he didn't have the judge's eyes, this trial would be even more troublesome for him, and he mightn't even be able to clear it.
Without a doubt, this trial was extremely difficult, and it wasn't about fighting but about wits. If Jacob only thought that he would slaughter his way out of this place, now he knew might wasn't always the answer.
As Jacob looked towards the towering trees, he found they were filled with hidden symbols, shimmering in crimson runes. He could see dark particles emitting from them. The dark particles always represented dangerous things, so he knew he couldn't step over them.
But what made him solemn was even the trees were filled with these symbols.
However, Jacob quickly discovered another school of symbols, which were green. White particles were emitting from them, and they were making strange patterns among the crimson symbols.
Other than those two symbols, he found nothing else, and he instantly knew what he had to do to trek this place. Jacob was standing on a green symbol that covered a mile-radius area, which meant he had to follow these green symbols and trek out of this place!
Nonetheless, Jacob was still shocked to learn just how difficult this tower level was, and this was only the beginning!
