Beyond The Worlds

Tournament: 2nd phase

 After the first phase of the tournament was over, the king of the dragon race was a little agitated.  He had received a report that some unknown people were causing a stir on the island, but he didn't think much of it at the time;  However, when he saw Shin's group, he was in shock.  Like the Elf Queen, the Dragon King also had thousands of years of experience, so he realized that Ryuu, Mari and Naomi were stronger than him.  About Shin… he couldn't see anything about that guy.

 "What's going on? Why are these people suddenly showing up?"  The Dragon King was one of the strongest people in his world, but he had never seen Shin's group in the thousands of years he had lived.

 'I have a bad feeling about this.'

 "They convey my message to the dukes. Tell them to prepare an army."  The Dragon King decided to take some countermeasures.

 -

 Participants who passed the first phase were gathered in the center of the island, waiting for the start of the second phase.

 "Shin, can we leave the tower monsters with you?"  Naomi wanted to let Shin fight the monsters, because he never killed any living beings in his life.

 'He needs to have this experience as soon as possible.'  She thought Shin should kill not just monsters, but humans as well.  It can be cruel, but some situations will require him to kill people.  And as the leader of the group, he needs to guide the other members.

 "All right."  Shin thought his "clear mind" ability was of great help.  Even though he was a little nervous, his mind was still calm.

 -

 The "Eye of Saturn" emitted another burst of mana and created several Towers tens of meters high.  With that, the second phase of the tournament began.  Participants entered the Towers with mixed feelings, some were excited, others fearful.

 "Let 's go in."

 Shin, Naomi, Ryuu and Mari entered the tower.  When they saw the interior of the tower, they were surprised.  The interior of the tower was a vast flat area with green vegetation.

 "Is this the first floor?"

 The tower had a total of 15 floors.  They wondered if the next floors would be different.  When they were thinking about it, a group of ugly green monsters appeared in front of them.

 "Goblins?"  Naomi had seen many of these monsters before.  "The first level looks pretty easy."  The Goblins were mostly pretty weak monsters.

 "Well, let me get started."  Shin didn't wait any longer and released bursts of light using his fingers.  Even though the beam was small, it was enough to pierce the goblins dozens of times.  The goblins died without resistance.  When Shin thought it was over, more goblins appeared.  This time, their number doubled.

 "Well, it couldn't be that simple."  He started to exterminate the goblins, until they stopped appearing.  After the goblins, dozens of giant ogres over 10 feet tall ran toward the group.

 "Looks like this is the second floor challenge."  They weren't in the same setting as the first floor, the second floor was a big forest with trees much bigger than normal.

 "I'm going to test various spells in this tower. After all, there's no one but us here."

 Shin decided to try various forms of magic.  First, he created several blades of water, he held two of these blades in his hands and ran towards the ogres.  The ogres tried to attack Shin, but his hands were cut off.  Shin threw the water blades at the ogres at such high speed, the ogres couldn't even react when they were cut to pieces.
