SSS Ranked Awakening: Starting With My Limitless Cosmic Shadow System-Chapter 122: Heading to the God Realm
Simon was silently in a daze, listening to the words of the crowd when his eyes suddenly lit up as though he had thought of something.
Instantly, he turned to Damien with a smirk.
"Why don't we have another bet?"
Damien was suddenly intrigued, and stared at him curiously.
"Another bet? What's it about?"
"I'm willing to place 25 artifacts on the line!" Simon announced confidently, causing his fellow instructors to draw in sharp breaths as they all wondered if Simon had gone mad.
Damien was also similarly puzzled, but he wasn't one to back down from a challenge.
"In that case i'm willing to return back your artifacts. Haha, what's the challenge about?" damien said with a chuckle.
Simon suddenly increased his voice.
"We instructors are offering up out jade plaques. Whoever can clear the behemoth tower will receive one million contribution points!"
The words werent too loud but it sank into the hearts of everyone like a war drum.
Everyone's hearts shook and they were immediately in an uproar.
One million contribution points was enough to catapult anyone to the peak!
Everyone stared at simon speechlessly and even the instructors were bewildered.
They stared at simon before finally, their eyes flickered with a calculating light.
"They had enough contribution points to support the students, so it wasn't anything for them and they could also obtain their treasures and even cause damien to lose face if they won the bet.
Besides, among the group of more than 300 students, one of them must surely be able to pass the tenth level of the tower!
The bet seemed reasonable and the reluctance in the hearts of the instructors' hearts finally began dissipating.
"In—instructor is that true?" one of the female students asked in a shaky voice.
Simon glanced at her briefly then shrugged and turned back to damien.
"What's it going to be? Are you going to back down like a coward?" simon taunted damien with a mocking expression.
"Interesting…" damien chuckled, scratchign the back of his head.
"I accept your bet!" he replied casually.
Simon finally grinned and the other instructors beside him also revealed knowing smiles.
Just then, amon's voice cut through the air as he approached them.
"I just cleared the tenth level so i'm eligible for the rewards as well right?" amon glanced up at simon and damien.
Hearing his words damien's eyes instantly lit up.
He secretly gave amon a thumbs up and turned to simon with a gloating expression on his face.
"Surely you don't hope to back down on your words right? This will give the students some form of motivation… hehe."
Hearing his shameless remark simon's mouth twitched repeatedly and he felt the urge to smack himself.
Why didn't he think along these lines?
No he actually did. He just didn't expect the others to realise it as well and for amon to actually bring it up!
His heart tightened as he smiled with a look that seemed no different from crying.
His heatt clentched as he replied with a forced expression.
"Of course. I cant back down on my word…" he then turned to amon, "where's your jade plaque kid? Let me transfer the contribution points to you."
Amon fell silent briefly as he didn't have a hade plaque.
"You can use mine and take it back later." damien casually said noting amon's worried. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
'I should hand him his jade plaque when we get back.' damien lamphooned internally.
Previuosly, because they had been occupied, he had forgotten to give it to amon.
Thankfully, he had been reminded!
Amon noddded and brought it out from his universe ring before handing it simon.
Simon glared at amon but still collected the plaque and brought out his own before placing it ontop.
Immediately, the transfer was made using his mental thoughts.
He handed back the jade plaque to amon and didn't pay him any further attention.
Turning to the crowd he said with a smile, "do you see that? You can be the next one to obtain a million contribution points. All you need to do is to easily clear 10 levels!"
The mummurs spread through the crowd as their eyes lit up in anticipation.
None of them thought they were weaker than amon.
There was nothing he could have possibly faced that they couldn't handle!
What they didn't know what that because amon's age was detected as 30+, the difficulty of his own tower climb was far harder than normal!
Still, amon cleared it in a far shorter time than even damien.
This just went to show how much amon had grown in these ten years!
…
Simon glanced at the bunch and said sternly, "who's willing to go first?"
Immediatly countless students raised their hands screaming and shouting for simon to select them.
Simon scanned through the crowd before settling his gaze on one of the youths who was standing amidst the crowd, and wasn't actively moving to present himself to him.
He recognise this as the pride of one in the genius class!
"You!" he called out and pointed at teh youth, "come and try."
Saying so he tossed the youth his jade plaque.
The youth caught it and glanced at simon with a puzzled expression.
"Quick, enter there. You're this close to getting one million contribution points, why the fuck are you still staring at me like an idiot?"
Noticing a visible vein popping on simon's head in anger, the youth immediately turned his attention to the door not too far away.
He hesitated briefly before walking to it.
Natasha was silent for a few seconds, wanting to stop the youth but she decided against it.
She could use this boy to know how difficult the trial was so she could perfectly know how to counter it.
With that thought she calmed her mind and watched as the boy entered into the room.
Immediately, whispers spread through the crowd as they watched silently.
"Is clearing the tower truly that easy?" someone asked.
A friend beside the person immediately replied, glancing at amon through the corner of his eyes.
"He just has a white core and was able to complete it. What makes you think we cant as well?"
"True." someone else nodded feeling the words were reasonable.
"But, will the instructor just hand out one million contribution points to everyone?" someone said in confusion.
The rest of the group were also puzzled by this.
Was the instructor feeling generous?
Just as they were still mummuring a flash of light surged up into the sky.
"he—He ha already cleared the first level?" a youth muttered in disbelief.
"Damn! It's really too easy!" another student glanced up at the sky and was speechless.
Hhowever, on the side there was still no change in the facial expression of the instructors.
They knew that the initial levels were nothing as they were filed with weak star beasts.
Only after crossing level would clearing the star gate become even more difficult!
…
As time passed the burst of light surging into the sky also incresed in number and in a few hours it had crossed 5.
The youths were already lively with anticipation, some were beginng to plan what they would purchase after obtaining the million contribution points.
They were still glancing around and waiting for the sixth light to burst out into the sky when there was a russle of the wind a someone was sent flying from the door.
Bang!
The youth crashed heavily onto the ground and everyone noticed in shock that his whole form was dyed red in blood.
His left hand seemed to have suffer some damage causing his mangle flesh to hand out on his bone.
The youth's face was pale with terror as he glanced at the instructor with grievance, muttering under his breath.
'Gia—giants… such terrifying figures! Just at the sixth level…"
When others awakened shining SSS-rank classes, Arthur awakened a variant of the summoner's class— Calamity Summoner—a class deemed useless by the world due to its unknown potential.
Three years passed. No level ups. No hope. No future.
Being stuck at the same level for a long time, he had lost hope in his talent.
Then came the day he was thrown into an E-rank dungeon and doomed to die, Arthur decided to fight with his life on the line.
Fortunately, after managing to kill a few beasts, he obtained a core that activated his unique class—Calamity Summoner.
[Congratulations on activating the Calamity Summoner's class.]
[Note: Calamities are beings from countless eras who have been hunted and killed due to their potential being too terrifying for the world to withstand.]
[Congratulations on summoning the Dragon Knight as your first Calamity!]
On the verge of death, Arthur
could only stare at the massive being radiating oppressive might and plead as he lost consciousness.
"Save me… my summon."
Time passed, and Arthur
gradually realized a terrifying fact—his summoning ability isn't supposed to exist.
After all, if even the so-called gods were willing to let humans possess SSS-rank abilities… then what kind of power could one hold that would drive the gods themselves to wipe it out?
