Supreme Couple In Apocalypse: Undead King & Demonic Queen

The following days' schedules were simple.

Erix, Rin, Isabella, and Aria would enter Limitless Plane in the morning.

After that, Erix would craft weapons while others would do anything they wanted like training, farming monsters or a particular place, participating in random events if they were worth it, and such activities.

Erix would join them after crafting weapons as well, spending the day however they liked and according to the situation.

However, they made sure to set aside five hours of time for meditative training to make progress in their comprehensive powers like Affinity, concepts, and such.

This type of progress required constant and consistent training, and if they hit a hard wall, they would need resources that could help them.

Fortunately, they haven't encountered such a wall yet.

At night, it would be a daily world boss event, but Erix, Rin, and Aria would instead go to another area. A different area each day.

This also caused their influence and name to spread. Everyone knew Erix and Rin's names and Power Level in the leaderboard at the top 2 ranks, but seeing their powers in action rather than just numbers was a different experience.

After two more days, it was finally time for the month's end.

The whole last day of October went as usual, but on the morning of 1st November, everyone heard an announcement at 7 AM.

Erix, Rin, Aria, and Isabella didn't enter Limitless Plane as they were waiting for the announcement.

[Labyrinth Tower Announcement]

[The challenge floors have been opened. Clear the floors 6th to 100th floor and get rewards based on your performance.]

[Labyrinth Tower Leaderboard has been opened.]

[The 101st floor and onwards will only open for those who have completed the 100th floor.]

"Interesting," Erix cracked a grin. "This is new, but I guess it makes sense if we think about it. We just got a big world event in the name of Atlantis so if we also got a big floor event like that first one, it would be hard to manage both."

"Yeah, we haven't received any attacks from Atlantis yet, but the moment anyone enters one of their five territories, it will start," Rin nodded.

"Hmm, so we do go check those floors now or after our Limitless Plane session?" Aria asked as she titled her head.

"Let's do the session first," Erix grinned. "Some people can take the glory of the first two ranks in this new leaderboard for two hours."

Isabella chuckled, "You two are too much more powerful than the rest."

"But we shall no slack. Let's go," Erix smiled and teleported everyone under the Dreanox Tree before they used the Way of Unfettered, causing their consciousness to enter the Limitless Plane.

…

The number of guild members increased by 10 yesterday as Erix held the 2nd tournament, recruiting 9 Royal-order and 1 Noble-order. The noble-order guy was on the verge of breaking through, and he had promising potential.

So far, half of the Royal-order members got their exclusive gears crafted by Erix, and all of them excitedly went to the Labyrinth Tower.

A large group of people rushed inside the tower but disappeared as soon as they used the Tower panel to go to the large hallway on the 6th floor.

From there, people started disappearing one by one as they challenged the floor individually.

[6th Floor]

[Challenge]: Defeat Jagaran the Whispered Truth.

[Minimum Power Level required]: 20,000.

[Chance]: 1

[Reward]: 1 x High-grade Elemental Crystal. (Primary Elements only)

Everyone only had a single chance at the challenge, and if they failed in that chance, the 2nd attempt would be a true life and death situation.

In short, if they died against Jagaran the Whispered Truth, they would lose their life.

Those who had 20,000 Power level and at Royal-order swiftly challenged the floor and vanished.

All the guild's top members had reached that Power Level, so they were the first ones to complete it.

The Leaderboard ranking of Labyrinth Tower constantly changed as people all over the world defeated the 6th-floor challenge and moved onward.

The Leaderboard also had a sub-leaderboard displaying people who cleared the 6th floor fastest.

[6th floor ranking]

-Rank 1: Yelwon — 43 seconds.

-Rank 2: Sameira — 52 seconds.

-Rank 3…

The seventh floor's Power Level requirement jumped to 25,000, reducing the number of people who attempted it drastically.

Sameira and Kenshin cleared it one by one. Their ranks as 9th and 10th in the World Leaderboard were not just for show. Due to their profound knowledge of martial arts and their own way, both of them were constantly improving their combat styles.

Especially after seeing Rin and Erix getting more powerful, they've been fired up and were getting stronger more, fully focusing on only their self-improvement.

Naturally, talents all over the world were also rising. Some were late bloomers, but anything could happen in any amount of time.

An enlightenment one day after working hard for months or years could change one's life and give directions.

The appearance of Rin and Erix with a wide difference of power between them and others had sparked the fuel within those with sky-high desires, ambition, and thirst for power.

They knew Might was the Right in this new world, and seeing two native people like them towering way over the rest didn't sit well with them.

…

In the Limitless Plane…

Rin and Erix spent 30 minutes in Limitless Plane for combat training, and then the rest of the 1 hour on other things.

They also taught some fundamentals of magic formations, their own knowledge that they gathered and condensed in Abyss, and other things to Aria and Isabella.

The rest of the time was spent on progressing in their elements and concepts.

Their next target was reaching 2nd realm in their respective Attribute-type concepts.

Erix wanted to evolve his Devorex Metal concept, but this was a huge and tough task for him as this concept was broad, and he was the first one to have it.

Rin's Attribute-type concept, Crimson Onyxbolt was something that she comprehended from the same named phenomenon in the abyss, and she had a general direction, so she was making proper progress in it.

…

After the squad got kicked out to the Limitless Plane, Aria excitedly said, "We go to the Tower next, right?"

"Yep," Rin grinned.

"Let's see who is doing good in this new leaderboard," Erix said with a smile. "This leaderboard rank will show who is truly powerful top 100 people."

"Mhmm, I see how. This floor clearing tests one's limit of combat in an all-rounder way," Isabell nodded in understanding and felt anticipation rising up. "I've learned much past two days, so I want to fight in new ways and also see how I fare against others."

"Let's go!" Aria summoned her tiny dolphin with wings specialized for speed flying and flew towards the Tower.

*Whistle!*

Sangle arrived while wisting, and Aaron was riding on it with five other kids.

"Mom! I want to fight too!"

Erix and Rin burst out laughing upon seeing Aaron throwing his fists that glowed with basic physical enhancement using Mana.

The other kids were also using mana to enhance their physical body. This was the passive state that Isabella taught them to improve their proficiency in magic and make them slowly stronger.

"You kids! Don't use it casually, I told you before," Isabella adopted a stern expression as she flew towards the kids after Sangle floated before Erix and others.

The kids immediately obeyed while giggling.

"Alright, go back and play. We'll return soon," Erix said with a smile.

The kids had a fearful yet admiring look when looking at Erix and immediately became sheepish hearing his words.

Erix teleported with Rin and Isabella as he ordered Sangle to return. Catching up with Aria, the squad entered the Tower.

"Aaron, he is so cool, right?!"

"I saw him fighting in a tournament….I-I couldn't see much, but the colorful lights and those powers were so amazing!"

"Hehe, I am going to become as strong as him!"

…

By now, most of the people were done with floor clearing.

The highest floor cleared 9th, and it was only by 5 people.

When Rin, Erix, Aria, and Isabella entered the Tower, their Power Level also changed in the leaderboard as they had entered for the first time in the past two days.

[World Leaderboard]

-No.1: Erix—115,435—Title: Deathly Throne.

-No.2: Rin—103,022—Title: Ruination Blade.

-No.3: Koshal—42,440—Title: Silent Depths.

-No.4: Leishun—34,990—Title: Roaring Thunder.

-No.5: Yelwon—34,210—Title: Bloodthirsty Hands.

-No.6: Mary—33,190—Title: Whiteflame Maiden.

-No.7: Gabriel—33,015—Title: Golden Mage.

-No.8: Amir—32,980—Title: Thousand Nights.

-No.9: Kenshin—32,940—Title: Martial Cataclysm.

-No.10: Sameira—32,350—Title: Warring Artist.

-No.11: James—32,010—Title: Shadow Hunter.

…

All the top guilds all over the world and top rankers soon knew the changes in the Leaderboard.

When they saw that while they made progress of a few thousand, Rin and Erix made big jumps.

Erix, Rin, Aria, and Isabella easily cleared the 6th floor. It was a humanoid boss in a glass palace, but Erix, Rin, and Aria easily destroyed it with a single attack.

Isabella took some time but defeated it after a minute.

"Eh? This Koshal guy made a big jump," Erix said with a chuckle. "Haha, he must have comprehended another concept or upgraded his existing one to 2nd realm."

"Yeah. A boost of 10,000 points is only on Concepts and Exotic Elements above," Rin nodded as she crossed her arms. "I doubt any native has an Exotic Element aside from two of us."

"Eh? People only cleared up to the 9th floor," Rin said with a grin. "Let's see how far we reach."

As such, the squad entered their next floor.

[7th floor]
