Global Composite Master: Compositing an Undead Army from the Start

Chapter 564: Chapter 280: Change of Reward! (Two in One)_2

Instantly, the two hundred million Skeleton Monsters remaining from the previous floor lined up neatly, preparing to attack this floor’s Guardian. With arrows and Magic Energy readied, at Chen Mo’s command, countless arrows and volleys of Magic Damage rained down like a storm upon the phantom enemy.

The arrows carried an aura of death; the Spells were laden with the Power of Darkness, intertwining to form a terrifying storm of attacks. Arrows whistled through the air, Magic Energy pulsed like electric arcs. Each arrow possessed lethal sharpness; each Spell wielded destructive power. They danced like dense shadows, weaving dazzling tapestries across the sky—a magnificent spectacle.

In an instant, the Guardian was overwhelmed by the arrows and Spells, left with nowhere to hide. Facing such an overwhelming, all-encompassing attack, the Guardian had no time to react. The Skeleton Monsters’ attack power was ruthless and ferocious, like the Grim Reaper’s scythe. The sounds of arrows striking and Spells colliding echoed incessantly, creating a scene of chaos in the area.

The Guardian, bearing the brunt of this terrifyingly dense assault, didn’t last a second under the countless attacks and instantly turned into nothingness, without even a chance to resist.

Just a few seconds later, the area fell silent again. Only the lingering Energy from the Skeleton Monsters’ attacks remained, along with the effects on a large, already insignificant magical area. Against the assault of two hundred million Skeleton Monsters, this floor’s Chaotic Magic Field, despite its seemingly potent interference capabilities, proved utterly useless.

The Heavenly Path’s Hint soon sounded.

[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Congratulations on successfully completing the twenty-second trial of the Divine Trial Tower. You have earned 2 Divine Power points as a reward. You can challenge eight more floors. Do you wish to continue?]

These Divine Power points were acquired in real-time. By now, Chen Mo had earned 3 Divine Power points. Clearly, the speed of earning Divine Power after the twentieth floor was much faster than before. At this rate, just passing four more floors would earn him 10 Divine Power points.

Although before the fifth-transition, 1 point of Divine Power only increased attributes by 10%, in the future, every point of Divine Power earned would be equivalent to a one-time 100% enhancement to All Attributes. Therefore, 10 points would mean a tenfold attribute enhancement. If Divine Power continued to be awarded at this rate, he might obtain 55 Divine Power points by the thirtieth floor, translating to a 55-fold attribute increase.

Chen Mo immediately started the twenty-third trial.

[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: The twenty-third trial of the Divine Trial Tower officially commences. The content of this trial is: Sealed Treasure Box.

The challenger must unseal a treasure box within the time limit. The treasure box will periodically attack the challenger and summon guardians to prevent the seal from being broken. You can choose to unseal the box directly on the spot. Alternatively, you can defeat the four surrounding Keykeepers to obtain four keys and open the box. However, the Keykeepers are extremely powerful; the strongest among them possesses over 100 Divine Power points more than you. Furthermore, each time you defeat one, the strength of the remaining three will increase. Please consider your choice carefully.]

Just as the task was announced, Moluo’s Brain, which had lain dormant for the past two trials, suddenly analyzed and revealed a hidden reward to Chen Mo. It required killing the Keykeepers to obtain it.

With a flash of light in the area, Chen Mo saw a massive treasure box appear in the central region. It emanated a mysterious glow and was enveloped in an invisible force field. At the four corners stood four imposing Keykeepers, their aura domineering. Each Keykeeper possessed formidable power, silently watching over the treasure box, seemingly awaiting challengers.

Chen Mo glanced at the four Keykeepers, gauging their strength.

Although their Divine Power is 100 points higher than mine, they still can’t withstand an attack from two hundred million Skeleton Monsters. Having such a large force is a huge advantage; a direct, overwhelming assault is all it takes.

The two hundred million Skeleton Monsters once again displayed their might, splitting into four groups, each with fifty million Skeleton Monsters, to attack from four directions. This number was already sufficient to easily annihilate the four Keykeepers. And if they were killed simultaneously, the Keykeepers likely wouldn’t even have the chance for their strength to increase.

As the four groups of Skeleton Monsters targeted their respective enemies, Chen Mo immediately ordered them to attack.

WHOOSH!!!

As the Skeleton Monsters accurately unleashed a dense volley of arrows, Dark Magic instantly coalesced into a ferocious attack. A tide of projectiles, like a torrent of darkness, surged towards the four Keykeepers. Arrows from the Skeleton Monsters’ bone bows rained down, and the violent vibrations of magical power filled the entire battlefield. The arrows pierced the air, their sharp tips aimed at the four Keykeepers’ bodies. The dense barrage made it nearly impossible for them to dodge. Magic Energy was unleashed wantonly, and the Power of Darkness instantly enveloped the Keykeepers, creating a deadly pressure.

Faced with such an overwhelming attack, the Keykeepers, though determined to resist, found themselves hopelessly outmatched by the assault of two hundred million Skeleton Monsters. The arrows and Magic Energy easily penetrated the Keykeepers’ armor, inflicting severe damage. The air around them was filled with the sharp whistle of arrows and the explosive sounds of Dark Magic.

Despite the Keykeepers’ desperate resistance, and though their strength far surpassed that of the previous floor’s Guardian, they quickly fell one by one under the sheer numbers and attack power of the Skeleton Monsters. Their bodies transformed into four plumes of ethereal black smoke.

From the moment the Skeleton Monsters launched their attack, they maintained continuous suppression, easily dispatching the four Keykeepers. Now, only the damaged Sealed Treasure Box lay quietly in place. It looked rather pitiful, weak, and helpless. Chen Mo’s Skeleton Monster Army showcased its formidable attack power and numerical superiority, so much so that even the treasure box seemed a little scared.

After picking up the four dropped keys one by one, Chen Mo approached the treasure box in the center. Perhaps because all four Keykeepers had been defeated, the treasure box, contrary to what The Heavenly Path’s Hint had suggested, did not attack Chen Mo as he approached. It remained motionless, allowing him to insert all four keys into it.

As soon as the four keys were in place, the treasure box immediately opened, and Chen Mo saw actual treasures within.

[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Because you used four god-grade secret keys to open the treasure box, you have successfully unlocked its hidden reward. You have received an SSS-level Gift Pack.]

[The Heavenly Path’s Hint: Congratulations on successfully completing the twenty-third trial of the Divine Trial Tower. You have now received 3 Divine Power points as a reward. You can challenge seven more floors. Would you like to continue?]

That damn Heavenly Dao is really something, always keeping quiet about special rewards! Good thing I have Moluo’s Brain! With Moluo’s Brain, I really don’t have to worry about missing out on rewards anymore. When I first heard The Heavenly Path’s Hint, I was planning to go straight for the unsealing, too lazy to fight the four enemies around it. That would have been faster. After all, with two hundred million Skeleton Monsters by my side, the treasure box couldn’t possibly interfere with my unsealing speed. But I never expected Moluo’s Brain to analyze that defeating the four surrounding Keykeepers to get their keys and open the treasure box would yield this floor’s hidden reward. Discovering this, I naturally chose to immediately eliminate the four powerful Keykeepers.

After stashing away the SSS-level Gift Pack, I feel that the two most useful rewards I’ve gotten so far are the outer incarnation and Moluo’s Brain. They’re practically like having two cheat codes. They’re incredibly satisfying to use.

Having snagged an SSS-level Gift Pack for free, Chen Mo then ascended the stairs that had materialized out of thin air, proceeding to the twenty-fourth floor, his anticipation growing. I hope the Divine Trial Tower throws more hidden missions my way. That way, Moluo’s Brain will truly have a chance to shine.
