End

After Isabella left, the whole room was in complete silence and everyone was looking in the direction where Elliott was, not precisely at him, but at the sword that was in his hands with greedy eyes, even some of them started to make plans to ambush Elliott in the next test. All of them had forgotten the small detail that Elliott had killed Surtur.

Elliott, feeling all the looks towards him, specifically his sword, got annoyed and began to release his murderous aura in the whole room.

The climbers sensing Elliott's murderous aura turn their faces away and occasionally give the sword a glance.

"I still can't believe you killed Surtur" spoke Lilith still amazed by everything that had happened a few minutes ago.

She knew Elliott was strong because she saw him fight the minotaur, but she didn't think he was strong enough to kill Surtur.

Although Surtur was a low-class demon, that was from a baby because he used to be a giant and was not a demon by birth but would be one of the demonic pillars.

"Why are you so surprised by that, as I said before he is not a low-class demon why are you so surprised," Elliott said he did not understand why they gave so much importance to a low-class demon like Surtur who participated in Ragnarök.

But what Elliott doesn't understand is why they make such a big deal out of Surtur.

"...You seriously don't understand how awesome you made it."

"No!" Elliott said in an angry tone.

"Phew...seriously how can you not have such basic knowledge, you sound like you're a hermit."

"I know, I hardly know anything about this tower why don't you enlighten me with your great wisdom, oh great lady Lilith," Elliott said annoyed at being treated like an ignoramus.

Well though he was, he doesn't like to be reminded of it all the time.

Lilith just rolls her eyes at Elliott's words.

"Since you don't know I will explain to you why what you did is so unbelievable even for me as a demon. We demons have different ranks once we reach the adult stage which is:

-Lower class demons: they are the weakest demons in the hierarchy, but Surtur was an exception since he used to be a giant.

-Middle-class demons: they are more powerful than the lower-class demons and have a true name given by hell itself at birth.

Upper demons: they are the most powerful demons in the hierarchy and have some authority in hell.

-Elite demons: they are the most powerful demons in the demonic hierarchy. They are able to challenge gods, angels, and dragons and have almost unlimited supernatural abilities. They can control the elements, life, and death, and even reality itself."

"I understand, but why was Surtur so feared?" asked Elliott as he was curious about Surtur.

"Surtur was feared because of his complete authority over hellfire as his fire was capable of affecting the soul of any race, with that authority alone he was the same strength as a middle-class demon, and adding his giant trait he had the same power as a superior demon when he was at his Prime he was one of the most feared demons of the seven hells, but for some unknown reasons during a fight with his brothers the tower restricted 95% of his power and put him in the tutorial"

"Oh~...now I understand why you all were so surprised, then with the Surtur, I fought I didn't even have 10% of his strength."

Elliott now understood why everyone was so surprised to hear that he had killed Surtur, and he also understood why the tower gave him such a big reward even though he is barely in the tutorial.

Lilith nods her head.

"But I didn't know that demon had such an amazing story," Elliott said with a smile on his face.

"Come to think of it, what is your full elven name," Elliott asked Elif since he didn't know much about her.

Elif who was silent all this time looked up at Elliott's face with a lifeless look as she still couldn't accept that she became a slave to that man... mistake that monster.

"My full name is Elif Zylxisys."

"Mmm~...I understand, now that I remember you said something earlier about your family that was"

"Nothing I was simply going to threaten you with my family name in order to survive, but apparently that doesn't matter."

Elif was going to continue talking until the tutorial ranking appeared.

[Ranking]

1. Aria(78,987 points)

2. Sasha(69,786 points)

3. Elliott(63,546 points)

15. Lilith(45,223 points)

187. Elif(15,980 points)

'How strange that neither Rachel nor Val is in the ranking, they must have died' Elliott thought when he saw that neither of their names was in the ranking.

"But who are Aria and Sasha I haven't seen her anywhere in this room."

And at that moment the message from the tower system appeared.

[You will be transported to the last tutorial test].

When the tutorial message appeared everything around Elliott began to distort.

***

[The last test of the tutorial will begin].

[Congratulations! You have successfully passed six Blocks and have done your best to meet the requirements to enter God's Tower. However, God's Tower still requires you to earn more achievements and points.

Here, in the last test, you will be able to fight monsters and other climbers on the provided stage. You will be able to take the other points once they are defeated. Take on as many climbers and monsters as you can, and accumulate your points to prove your qualifications.

Final rewards will be awarded according to your rank and the points you have accumulated].

Elliott finishes reading the message that appeared as soon as he opened his eyes and looks around.

Elliott finds himself in a forest where tall, leafy trees stretched skyward and created a canopy of leaves and branches. The air was cool and moist, infused with the fragrance of vegetation and moss. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, creating bright, dark spots on the grassy ground.

The sound of birds and other forest animals filled the air, interrupted by the occasional distant roar of a wild animal. The streams and rivers that crossed the forest provided constant background music, with the sound of water rushing over rocks and fallen logs.

Tree branches formed intricate arches and tunnels, creating a maze of paths and trails that seemed to lead to hidden places. Vegetation grew everywhere, from the roots of the trees to the mosses that covered the rocks and lower branches. Wildflowers and shrubs burst into color here and there, creating a vibrant and varied palette of green and purple hues.

Despite the beauty of the forest, a sense of hidden danger could also be felt around every corner. The darkness that crept through the trees seemed to take on a life of its own, hiding what was behind it. And among the shadows, one could sense the presence of mysterious and dangerous creatures that hid and hunted in silence.

Elliott began to walk through this huge forest quietly with the two swords at his waist.

Elliott realized that this test was something like a battle royal like in the games of his old world.

Crunch!

At that moment, the sound of the bushes shaking tickled his ears.

"Mmm?"

Elliott craned his neck toward the sound.

"Looks like some wolves have appeared."

Elliott after looking with his eyes to where he heard the sound grabbed his swords and took his stance.

Crunch, crunch, crunch.

The sound of bodies moving in the bushes.

Not just from one place, but it spread simultaneously from several places.

Noise, Noise, Noise, Noise, Noise, Noise, Noise, Noise, Noise, Noise, Noise, Noise!!!!

"...Oh!"

Elliott put a big grin on his face.

The sounds in the bushes began to get louder and louder.

From his spine, a feeling of excitement began to spread throughout his body.

'Something...'

'Something exciting is about to happen

Grrrr, Grrrr, Grrrr, Grrrr, Grrrr, Grrrr, Grrrr, Grrrr, Grrrr, Grrrr, Grrrr, Grrrr, Grrrr, Grrrr, Grrrr, Grrrr, Grrrr, Grrrr, Grrrr, Grrrr, Grrrr, Grrrr, Grrrr, Grrrr, Grrrr, Grrrr, Grrrr, Grrrr, Grrrr.

The sound of grunting echoed in all directions.

It wasn't just three or four.

A minimum of 20, no, the sound was the sound of more than 30 monsters moving.

"GRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!"

Before Elliott knew it, the wolves began to surround them.
