"If that's the case, prove it to me."

Tachika did not explain further after he finished speaking. He let Shanmuqie prepare to attack as the team leader.

He hoped that the king would calm down when he was not around and not do anything out of line. This Pill would not be gone when he returned.

The king would not do that … probably.

Tachika was not sure.

Ten minutes ago, when she went to ask for the king's forgiveness, Li Xiang said, "My king, I have never doubted the accuracy of your words. Your image in my mind has always been the highest and most powerful. This is definitely not because you have the Clairvoyance, nor is it because you have many powerful relic."

"I trust you and I will follow you. The king is the king. I will never become the king, just as the king will never become a lowly human like me.

I understand your concern for me and you do not want me to be hurt, but I still want to believe that … our emotions can overcome the negative. "

"Because I am Tachika Fujimaru."

The king will definitely use EA next time I see him … Tachika covered his head. Would he be able to resurrect on the spot after using the command curse three times?!

Shanmuqie was moving the needle. The masked fox on his shoulder told him the correct time.

Soon, the passage that symbolized travel opened. A path of light appeared in the middle of the torii, extending into the distance. A cool breeze blew from the end, making one feel relaxed and happy.

Tachika was not used to wearing the God's Inquisitor uniform, so he still wore the Chaldea Battle Suit today.

The masked fox explained that the uniform was an improved version of hunting clothes that could increase the effectiveness of Reiki. However, the long sleeves made it difficult to move. He had to adjust the sleeves after taking two steps. The tight sleeves were more convenient for fighting, although Tachika was not involved in the battle at all.

"Okay, let's go!"

The group stepped into the passage. The circle of light behind them kept shrinking until it became a small light spot and disappeared.

At the same time, at the corner of the This Pill, the door of the warehouse made a soft noise.

…

Walking out of the passageway, the first thing that came into view was a towering and magnificent building, standing silently among the trees that were still growing.

They landed on a stone bridge in front of Heavensguard Pavilion, and not far away, there was a large field of cherry blossoms.

Coincidentally, it was nighttime. Under the night sky, Osaka City was exceptionally quiet, like a fairyland far away from the mortal world.

Tachika was momentarily at a loss for words. He was shocked by the beautiful scenery but lacked vocabulary. Fortunately, he was going to beat up the Time Reversal Army instead of participating in the poetry contest. Otherwise, he would have definitely been eliminated in the preliminary round.

But, "Aren't we going underground?

Where is the entrance? "

The masked fox lazily raised its paw.

"There's an elevator in Tianshou Pavilion."

What???

In the night, the beautiful Tianshou Pavilion was silent, like a well-dressed princess. The twinkling stars rubbed against its eaves, and the bright lights illuminated its beautiful floor. The clustered Night Cherry blossoms covered a part of its figure, making it even more conspicuous, but it also added a sense of mystery, attracting people to constantly approach it.

Tachika could not tell which era he was in. Perhaps it was closer to the modern era because Osaka was once destroyed by a fire. But looking around, there was no sign of decline.

After walking through the winding corridors and being baptized by the wind and fragrance of flowers, they arrived at Tianshou Pavilion.

The door of the pavilion was wide open, and they entered the pavilion effortlessly.

A whiff of woody fragrance assaulted their nostrils. Tachika saw the ancient paintings on the walls, the many candlesticks, the overlapping wooden ceiling, the enshrined knives, the knife racks and armory in the corridor, and the huge wooden pillars that ran through the floors … The atmosphere was somewhat solemn. Tachika did not dare to speak loudly or touch anything. His eyes were focused on looking for the so-called elevator.

Beside the low stairs, there was an incongruous elevator. It was the same as the extremely simple cabins at the construction site. A few planks were hooked to four cables, and there was even a windowless view.

Tachika was not in the mood to complain about where the electricity came from. He was only worried that the elevator would malfunction and fall directly to the negative 100 floors.

"This situation is not unheard of …"

Did the Government of the Time buy social insurance for the Divine Inquisitors?

Was it too late to buy it now?

The masked fox jumped into the elevator first.

After a few jumps to prove that it was safe, he said, "Many Divine Inquisitors have taken this elevator. I guarantee that it will not malfunction!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the elevator trembled violently for a few seconds, and the bottom of the cabin sank dozens of centimeters. The fox was still below and said, "Look, it's okay!"

Was the fox's nerves too sensitive???

Tachika, who had mistakenly boarded the "fox" ship, wanted to cry but had no tears. In the end, he took the elevator with Funerary Deities.

The cabin was trembling like an old man, and it was trembling as if it was coughing. Tachika was afraid that it would die at any time and drag him down with it. Funerary Deities would not "die" as long as its body was here, but he was a human, a human!

He did not want to cry to Newton about the third law of ruthlessness!

The torturous descent stopped, and Tachika jumped out of the elevator like a rabbit. Before he could catch his breath, he almost hit the wall. Yoshinobu caught Tachika in time.

After calming down, he found that the underground was completely different from the ground. There were old stone walls on all sides, and the wall lamps weakly indicated the intersection ahead. Choking dust faintly floated in the air, as if to reject the intrusion of outsiders.

"This is the first floor of the basement."

The masked fox took on the responsibility of explaining, wagging its tail and jumping into Tachika's arms, "The elevator we took just now can only go to the first floor. At the end of this floor, there will be an elevator to the second floor, and so on."

Yes, Tachika noticed that only the "1" on the keypad was lit up, and the "2" to "100" were all gray and could not be pressed.

"When Lord Tachika goes all the way to the 100th floor, he can go from the first floor to any floor, or even directly to the 100th floor."

So that's the situation you were talking about!

One floor was already torturous enough, so going all the way to the 100th floor was enough to apply for the torture ranking!

Tachika did not know that there were countless Inquisitors in history who had experienced this.

This was just the beginning.

The masked fox slipped away after explaining the situation, and the young Inquisitor Tachika and the Funerary Deities began their exploration of the underground city.

The underground city was different from the previous areas. It was dark here, and there were many intersections. It was complicated, and Tachika would get lost as he walked.

The most exciting thing was that when he turned a corner, he might run into the Retroactive Army, who would appear out of nowhere. Tachika was scared half to death several times.

This was not an underground city, it would be more appropriate to call it a haunted house!

It was not safe for Tachika to be at the front of the group, and it was even more unsafe for him to be at the back. He could only walk in the middle, but he also had to choose the direction for the Funerary Deities who did not know the direction.

Over time, Tachika was finally immune to the Retroactive Army's faces, and there was still time to take the first hit.

What?

You're asking Tachika how to fight?

Stun (Physical).

Tachika held the brick in his hand, and felt that his courage had increased a lot. He was very pleased.

After breaking through a few resource points and picking up a few Small Judges, everyone felt an unusual aura.

"Is this the end of this floor …" Tachika's eyes were filled with yellow Small Judges and the words "New Swordsman". "Comrades, let's go!"

The Funerary Deities were indeed stronger after their strength increased, or perhaps the bosses on this floor were not that difficult, and they died before they could fight back.

Tachika happily opened the treasure chest, and inside were a few hundred Small Judges … and the Five Tigers Retreat.

Eh?

It must be the wrong way to open it. Tachika closed the lid and opened it again, but it was the same.

"Masked Fox!"

"Everyone says my name is Fox's Aid …"

Tachika grabbed the Masked Fox's front paw and shook it vigorously, "Where's the promised new swordsman?!"

The Masked Fox was in a daze, and it almost spat out the tofu it had stolen, "You … you didn't know … this is just a chance …"

Tachika was disappointed, "You lied to me!"

"It's written on the poster …" Fox's Aid had to take out the poster and show it to Tachika. After a long time, he finally saw a small line of words at the corner, "This event's new swordsman is a chance, and all explanation rights belong to the officials."

"Ye Hehua, you've changed!"

"Nonsense, we're talking about the true god of TS!"

Tachika roared in dissatisfaction for a long time, but he accepted his fate.

The Masked Fox kindly comforted him, "It's okay, some swordsman will be given to you at a fixed number of floors, but the rest … you can only rely on luck."

Tachika nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and his eyes were no longer bright. He was about to become a chicken drumstick that had lost its dreams.

Isn't it just liver … I'm not afraid of you, ah …
