The rumbling in one of the towers shocked and warned many adventurers and kings. Someone possibly could have already reached part of the ice inheritance, so the battles became sharper and more fervent.

Many people also tried to become closer to the husband's location, thinking that the rewards for one of the towers were more accessible.

If there was someone who had already acquired the reward, then his body should be exhausted or at least tired from the challenges. Many had put their marks on this tower except The Ice Master.

From his spectacle, many believed that he was the main character here.

The man who went against the ever-increasing in popularity hybrid concept, The Ice Master! Even people who aimed to become hybrid with an ice attribute questioned themselves. Was it really worth going against him if the ice was as if his partner? There was also something more frightening, though.

As if knowing about this ice divine's inheritance's goal, The Ice Master had the lady with himself. Naturally, it wouldn't be anything weird considering his strength and good looks. However, the lady's presence sowed enough suspicious seeds into all adventurers' hearts.

Her presence was as if the ice itself and with her by his side, The Ice Master's concepts were either sharper, more potent or just simply colder.

All ice believers never felt this cold. For them, cold sweat going down the spine was a rare occurrence, even in many death situations. However, this became normal while looking into this beauty's eyes.

Those remained expressionless; no emotions slithered within. She also remained stoic and her beauty couldn't fill the Ice Master's hands. In spite of his strength and people, the Ice Master's battles had never made this woman show off emotions.

Nonetheless, she belonged to him. Otherwise, her presence would also spread across the whole Ice Divine's inheritance and strengthen it, including all other ice adventurers and believers.

Kyoya shared what he learned with Akaro.

The dreams of a blacksmith was a beautiful and enigmatic concept that Kyoya would love to see once. Maybe if he were to make another equipment with Hana, Kyoya would be able to see one of such dreams!

They were in a close relationship and he honestly loved the lady for staying herself despite all new powers and strength growth.

"It's not time to think about her," Akaro spoke in a little tsundere tone.

The husband burst out laughing, then looked below on the ice castle's grounds. Many people had swarmed towers and most of them were on their way to them! Kyoya also located The Ice Master, his eyes following his trail.

The goal of this man was the middle tower whose tip was the highest.

It made sense since he had many concepts, understanding and insights, but also the self-esteem of his probably drew him to this tower. His people silently blended in other ranks and part of them was also on the way to snatch the husband's knife.

"I don't think we would face problems by jumping off this tower. Still, try to prepare some escape routes," Kyoya replied with a smile, then clenched his new knife. He loved to peek at its glittering blue edge and his already tainted mind wondered how blood would look on it.

Though it was clearly a thought that no normal human would have, the husband had long ago become accustomed to the world's rules and his dream to reach heaven wouldn't be devoid of blood even if he prayed a thousand or more times.

Thus, the husband didn't think his thoughts were wrong.

He glanced at Akaro and Xiaoxiao, then three of them waited for the first 'invaders'. "Invaders... It brings some memories back... I wonder how Yue is doing?" A bitter past was between them, but Kyoya enjoyed his time with the queen as well.

The thoughts of the fire queen stopped the moment the steps rang out throughout the last floor. Kyoya knew that the invaders were close, so he flicked and his cards scattered around lit up in Akaro's flame color.

Those exploded with the flames of her longevity concept and filled the upper staircases to the brim! This unexpected flame outburst threw many out of these stairs. Their charred bodies couldn't withstand the fall from a high point which would be alright in normal circumstances.

Their bones snapped and they all died.

Some people held tightly to the inheritance's wall and stair handrail!

However, another flame rained down from the top! This time, the flames were in the form of fireballs and they all seemed easier to escape! However, in this staircase with so many people, how could all people avoid those fireballs?

They had to fight and it was already a problem!

Many people tried to use others as a shield which just brought another problem and misunderstandings that exposed their sides! Most adventurers turned defenseless and Akaro's concept burned their skin and flesh.

"How can these flames... still last in this cold environment?!" A lot of adventurers loudly asked as if seeking an answer from the people at the top. A small part of those thought deeply about the concept behind those flames, but it was mostly the fire believers who had also come here for hybrid concept.

Akaro's longevity concept had an edge here as her flames were meant to burn eternally in all kinds of environments, even in those that had natural counter to fire! Of course, it was Goddess Fiana's concept, but Akaro had that memory within her.

The memory of the goddess proudly inflaming her flames even in the harshest lands to keep her divine lands and people prepared for all kinds of people!

Her flames would burn eternally, no matter what form it would take!

Akaro and Xiaoxiao had a good time here!

"Let's practice before facing off with the Ice Master," Kyoya whispered, then rushed first to confront all those surviving people that were held on the stairs. He summoned an army of twenty avatars, then blended with its ranks.

His knife left a blue trail that was both reason to rejoice and blunder, "It's the real one!" The bad part was that the husband's real self became exposed. Only the real knife left the blue trail and the strength behind the slash was the strongest, leaving the cold wound on the adventurer's neck.

The man died, but the husband became exposed, "That's the real deal..." Kyoya shifted his red eyes to the weapon, "My avatars can't produce the weapon's sharpness and power..." Thus, it became a double-edged sword that easily exposed the husband's location and real self.

Of course, Kyoya wasn't gutted by that finding. Rather, he was excited to have such a strong weapon that would force him to polish his Assassin Knife deeper. Kyoya also needed to understand the ice concept more, so even if he didn't plan that, Kyoya couldn't stop just on one tower and knife reward.

At the same time, other people exclaimed, "This must be part of inheritance! This knife left a blue trail that reeked off the ice concept! This man doesn't seem like The Ice Master and his strength..."

"Correct... This man's strength... is weak..." The other ones chimed in and added their evaluation of the husband.

The flames were powerful, but that was because the husband had a goddess by his side. Akaro used to be one of the Goddess Fiana's old consciousnesses that had met many believers, so she could easily strengthen Xiaoxiao and the husband's cards with her presence alone!

If she added her own techniques, then it was the strength that could help the husband's party greatly! If she descended with her human form, then all those people would be slapped to death by her as she had a divine body.

The flames were lacking compared to that divine body, but Akaro filled the gap with her insight and understanding of the concepts. With enough resources, her flames would become stronger and then... she would be able to ascend.

She had the easiest means to ascend, but wasn't Akaro the pure goddess before her death in this mortal world? For her to have the easiests means to ascend wasn't weird at all.

"All of you... relaxed..." The husband finally reached out to all those people.

He smiled widely, looking innocent. But for pretty much everyone here, this smile was a condescending one! He played with his knife, as if taunting them, then the real taunt fell on them promptly, "Such a weak adventurer like me got the inheritance first. If that doesn't make you trash, then what are you? Dirty wrappers I often see on the street?"

"Wrappers? Be more respectful or you will wear diapers, brat," One of the adventurers loudly replied.

In this weird exchange, it seemed like Kyoya was on the winning side as he had indeed reached the inheritance first despite his weak strength. But strength was clearly not everything in this world.

You also could have a beautiful goddess by your side to help you reach heaven!

And the divine hybrid... that would clench your soul as well!

"Let's see who needs diapers here," The husband spoke, his death energy surging!
