"I'm telling you... something is seriously wrong with this tower." Arnold mumbled before dropping the broomstick and huffing his lungs out, "Just look at these absurd monster names!"

[You're right but there is nothing we can do about this. We'll just have to push forward and hope everything works out.]

"Yeah... I'm just wondering how did Nicole manage to take care of all this. It took me an hour to do it. Sure it must have taken her more than that... and if that was true... then something doesn't add up."

[The timing.]

Arnold nodded and began thinking about it. Johnny said he saw her entering the tower. After that, he took like half an hour to enter the tower as well but he didn't meet her on the first level. It could only mean one of two things. Either Nicole managed to clear this stage under three minutes, which would have meant 30 minutes had already passed outside and moved on to the next stage.

Arnold would've believed that to be the case if he hadn't gone through the same tasks. But it was just impossible to kill all these skeletons in just under 3 minutes while using nothing but the broomsticks. This brought Arnold to think of the second scenario, something he was wishing did not happen... she never entered the tower.

As much as Arnold did not want to believe it, it was the most probable reason. It was fairly possible that he had been fooled into entering the tower and that Nicole was used as bait to do that. Was it a ploy of one of the gods that he fell for? Maybe, but there was no way for him to be sure about it.

'No point in thinking about it all. Since I'm already in, I would just have to clear this tower as soon as I can and get out of here.'

If Nicole was inside the tower, then it was alright. But if she wasn't then... Arnold was already getting all worked up at his own foolishness. But it wasn't like he could turn back time to correct his mistakes. He was pretty sure not even the gods could do that because if they could he would most probably be six feet under the ground already for killing the demigods.

As the notification informed him, a door leading to the next floor opened up. Arnold went ahead and grabbed the last remaining broomstick with him before leaving the floor. Who knew what this tower would throw at him this time. So he wanted to make sure to have at least one weapon that would be useful against the monsters inside the tower. But he was about to regret that decision.

___

An Illegal weapon has been brought onto the next floor.

As a punishment, 400 tower points will be deducted.

On your next offence, more points will be deducted. Please follow the rules properly.

___

"..."

Arnold stared at the screen dumbfounded by what he was seeing. It was the most ridiculous and useless thing he had ever seen. He was shocked beyond the limit when he read what was written on the notification. It was as if he did something, then there would be a fine and if he didn't there would still be a different kind of fine. He would be fined for anything he did.

"FCK!!!" Arnold snapped the broomstick in half but that was yet another bad decision...

___

The property of the tower has been damaged.

As a punishment, 500 tower points will be deducted.

Current points: 865

___

Within a minute Arnold went from having 1765 points to less than half of it and he didn't even do anything yet. It almost felt like the tower would punish him for breathing in the wrong way and he wouldn't be surprised if that actually ended up happening.

[... yeah. I'm pretty sure this isn't what we thought the tower was.]

But at least he was on the second floor. The doors slowly closed behind him and he was left standing inside a ginormous ballroom, all alone. At least there were skeletons to accompany him on the previous floor but this floor... was just like a beautiful barren land.

But that didn't remain the case for long. Soon the room was filled with a mist and when that disappeared, there were Demonic lords standing in front of him. The only thing was, Arnold was pretty sure he had killed all 7 of them before, however, Natasha was not a part of this group despite being a demon lord herself. Thus it meant one thing, these were just cheap copies and nothing more.

Among the group of remaining 6 demonic lords, were the great demons known as, Mammon: the sin of greed, Lucifer: the sin of pride, Levia: the sin of enviousness, Beelzebub: the sin of destruction, Astaroth: the sin of royalty and last but not the least, Berith: the sin of blasphemy. Natasha was the sin of lust, but she wasn't there. Arnold didn't know why, nor did he cared. He already had his hands full with the ones that were in front of him.

'Fighting them all at once is going to be quite troublesome... even if they are fakes.' Arnold slipped his hands into his inventory, but the access was denied once again, 'Okay... now I can only use my fists and hope there isn't some BS broom lying around here as well.'

Just as Arnold readied himself to face the demonic lords, another notification popped up in front of him. But this time it brought a piece of good news for him unlike before.

___

• Mammon

"Alright... this is good. I don't need to fight them all at once." Arnold let out a sigh of relief, "If I have to choose one of these basta*ds... then I'll go with Lucifer."

___

Affirmative.

The duel will begin in 30 seconds.

Please take whatever you want from your inventory till then.
