Supreme Couple In Apocalypse: Undead King & Demonic Queen

After exiting from the Atlantis expedition and hub, Erix, Rin, and Isabella went to the nearby Labyrinth Tower.

After arriving there, Isabella went to challenge the 14th Floor while Erix and Rin went to the 20th Floor.

The trio had awakened their soul and received a boost to their overall combat prowess.

Rin and Erix had their domains, so they were confident about beating the 20th Floor.

The moment they arrived, Tower Master's voice rang in their heads.

'Mhmm, not bad. Let's see if your Domains are good enough.'

'SS-rank domain is not good enough for this floor?!' Erix raised his eyebrows, his thoughts louder.

'Tsk, I knew it.' Rin clicked her tongue.

'Wait, wait, what? You two developed an SS-rank domain?'

The shocked voice was Tower Master confused them.

'Uh…yeah? But if there's SS-rank, then there's SSS-rank,' Erix shrugged before grinning. 'Welp, it doesn't matter. We'll still beat that Nyx the Eclipsed Hollow Knight.'

'That's right,' Rin snorted.

Both of them challenged the floor and pressed 'Yes' before vanishing.

Meanwhile, the Tower Master appeared on the 20th floor for the first time, revealing an appearance akin to a genie, but instead of blue, it was black with beautiful runic blue patterns.

'The minimum requirement to finish this floor is utmost hard work and built-up talent for those with A-rank Domain and less than 1000 Soul power.'

Tower Master rubbed his chin. 'They had over a thousand soul power and enough spirit power, but domain….'

'Do they really have an SS-rank domain?'

Tower Master decided to properly observe their battle and vanished, splitting his consciousness into two and watching both battles simultaneously.

Erix and Rin, both had activated their domain, and combat forms, and were in full focus as the blood-red sea and the gigantic strange tree that emerged from the sea became their stage against Nyx.

Nyx's sword clashed against Rin's blades, both turning into lights as they clashed against each other and their attacks.

Their domains were clashing against each other as well, but Rin's domain was winning and she had a higher boost.

On the other hand, Erix's miniature Erasure Void Rods were faster and Seven Gauntlets Fiesta released punches upon punches, troubling Nyx and suppressing him.

Both of them were gradually overwhelming Nyx as the battle went on, clearing Tower Master's doubt.

'They really developed SS-rank Domain based on the boost they are getting. What is it that drove their wills to that far and strong that they reached that deep in the Cosmic Arcane Layer?'

Tower Master felt curious. He knew these two had powerful wills, but the factors that decided how far one could go in the Cosmic Arcane Layer also depended on other characteristic factors.

'Maybe their desires and ambitions fueling their strong willpower led them that far?'

As the Tower Master watched the battle, it soon ended after roughly seven minutes.

Erix and Rin were injured at various places, and despite them being stronger, it wasn't like danger was zero. They could clearly feel death grazing past them whenever one of Nyx's attacks struck them and they barely defended or dodged.

Both of them returned to the 20th floor with their injuries healed and energies recovered to full.

Notifications rang as they got two rewards—Floor reward, and special quest reward.

1 x Ticket to the Cosmic Treasure Arcade Center. —Floor reward.

1 x Fortune Ride Token of Cosmic Treasure Arcade Center—a reward for defeating 20% stronger Nyx than usual, and having a Power Level below 150,000.

Fortunately, developing Domain didn't contribute to increasing Power Level in evaluation, and the increase that Erix received in Power Level after awakening his Soul wasn't enough to push him past the 150k mark.

'You two really got SS-rank domains. What were you thinking during the whole process?'

Erix and Rin tilted their heads. 'What do you mean?'

'I mean…hmm, what is your strongest desire and fear?'

Hearing that question, Erix and Rin looked at each other before they burst out laughing.

'Strongest desire is related to fear,' Erix grinned as he and Rin held their hands tightly.

'The strongest desire is of course to get as strong as possible, to reach every realm out there and get to the peak on this path to power,' Rin said with a big smile.

'But…we want to reach there together, and for that, we can't get behind one another,' Erix lovingly looked at Rin.

'Yep. We must get to the top together. If not together, there's no point. So, we will work our hardest and our wills won't back down to anyone else on this path to the peak,' Rin said with resolve and determination burning in her eyes.

'Now, onto the next Floor,' Erix said with a laugh.

Tower Master was stunned, but he finally knew the secret to their strong willpower and desire that led them to develop SS-rank domains.

Tower Master could feel those two loved each other to death, so if one of them lagged behind, it would be devastating because both of them were power-hungry and desired to be at the top…but together!

'They are lovers and rivals that run after the same ambitions and desires, but they must be together at the top….haha, this rivalry in love is putting more pressure on them than anything else!'

Tower Master nodded with a hearty smile.

'This resonance is fascinating indeed. But they haven't stepped into the true world yet…I wonder about their future.'

Tower Master was curious and wondered about their future. Until now, only these two gave him such curiosity about how they would develop and their fate, but he didn't like it.

'I am confined here while they will leave soon. Better not think much about them,' Tower master sighed.

…

Meanwhile, Erix and Rin cleared the 21st Floor.

[21st Floor]

[Challenge]: Defeat the Army of a thousand Red Lizardians.

[Minimum Power Level Required]: 180,000.

[Chances]: 1

[Reward]: 1 x High-grade Elemental crystal (Advanced Elements only)

This wasn't hard despite them having a lower Power Level than required.

"We are getting Advanced Elemental crystals now. Babe, do we go to the next floor or use our mysterious reward?" Rin asked.

Erix took out the ticket to Cosmic Treasure Arcane Center for a moment before he decided to call Tower Master.

"Hey, Tower Master. What do you think will maximize the benefit of this reward?"
