Second World Chapter 1825 Stage 100

Chapter 1825 1825. Stage 100

"All the armor orbs in this selection are using normal element names," Jack remarked. The other armor orbs or weapon orbs he had received all this time used deity names.
"Yes. These orbs can be said to be standard ones. The ones with special names can only be gotten from loots or quests," Peniel explained.
"Okay, let's pick this one," Jack said. The armor orb he chose appeared in his hand.
*
Orb of Greater Light (Super rare Armor orb)
Increase armor's base defense by 10%.
Light resistance +20.
+10% resistance to Blind effect.
*
The armor orb cost 20,000 glory points. He only had 17,582 glory points left. He couldn't get another one. He left the exchange counter and left the building. He went directly to the Order of Magi next.
Outside the Order of Magi's hut, Jack saw many native mages come in and out. He figured the situation here was as hectic as at the League of Champions. However, when he entered the hut, it was the familiar vacant space with only young Janus behind the desk.
"Your Majesty, it's good to see you again. Nice armor," Young Janus greeted.
"Oh, right," Jack said and transformed into Unrivaled Arcaner. "Are the true you in the meeting at the palace, or did you send your copy over?"
"The true me is there, and I must say he is rather disappointed that you are not there."
"Hehe, I'm sorry," Jack said.
"So, what are you doing here?" Janus asked.
"I'm going to beat Stage 100 of the challenge stage!" Jack announced.
"I can't see how that is more important than attending the war meeting with the faction leaders?"
Jack sighed. He was tired of giving the same excuse. "I'm never a king material. I'm more the king's executioner, and I will carry out that role to the fullest. For that, I need to become as strong as possible!"
"I see. So, do you plan to hand over your crown to someone?"
"I'm not going to waste time discussing that," Jack said. He headed to the back of the room where the portal appeared.
"Do you have the confidence to conquer stage 100?" Another Janus asked once Jack stepped out of the portal.
That startled Jack. 'I swear, I will never get used to this,' Jack said in his mind while giving Janus an irritated stare.
"Just you watch! By today, I will walk out of stage 100 in triumph!" Jack declared. He headed to the obelisk number 95.
"I will be rooting for you!" Janus exclaimed in return.
When Jack entered stage 95, he faced the same number of opponents as the challenge stage in the League of Champions. Even the levels and grades were the same. The only difference was the type of monster. Here, he faced elemental golems. The golems came from a variety of elements. All the elements were represented here except for Soul and Chaos.
Jack's Time Sage persona was still wearing his unique-grade regal outfit. So, his equipment advantage wasn't as substantial as when he was in the League of Champions. Even so, he had a different advantage here.
He cast Remote Magic Field before casting Double Clone. Four of his copies appeared. He had one used Magic Weapon. This copy became the main tank, joined by three other copies who used magic staffs as if they were swords. These four copies blocked the elemental golems while the real Jack blasted his spells without reservation. He used the Strength of Hope to boost his damage output.
He also used his regal outfit's Judgement of Past Kings. This would cause the ghost kings currently on standby inside the mobile fortress to vanish, but they were not in complete number there anyway. Not all of them survived the war in Dritzuut. Some of them were killed and were now back to haunting Thereath palace. When Jack woke up from his mana awakening slumber, the mobile fortress was away. Jack hadn't had the time to go there to resummon the ghost kings.
Combined with his other AOE spells. He quickly took down many of the golems. The golems weren't fast opponents like the werewolves or lycans in the League of Champions. This was by design. It would be tremendously difficult if the challenge for spellcasters were against fast monsters. No mages would be able to pass the challenge if it was so.
What the golems lacked in speed, they made up for it in strength and endurance. For a normal mage, it would take a long time to grind down their HPs. If the golems caught up to the mage, one hit could very well end the mage's life.
Fortunately, Jack was no normal mage. His copies could go toe-to-toe with the golems. They were so fast that the golems had trouble hitting them. They also had enough HPs to survive some accidental hits. This gave Jack the lenience to cast offensive spells without worry.
For the golems' high HPs, a mage would need to be meticulous in balancing his spells and their cooldowns. If the mage just used all his spells without planning, he could find himself in a quandary where he ran out of spells to cast. This was the gist of the challenges in this faction. However, Jack was again no normal mage. His library of spells was abnormal. He had many high-level spells that dealt strong burst damage, and he had plenty of low and mid-level spells to cycle around to finish the remaining opponents.
As long as his levels were not too lacking, he had no problem dealing with these elemental golems.
Hence, he continued completing one stage after another, until he stood before the largest obelisk at the center of the plaza. The number 100 was floating above this obelisk.
"I must say, Mister Storm Wind, I was rather surprised now that we are at this point," Janus stood next to Jack. They were gazing at the obelisk together. "Yet, I always know you will be the first outworlder to arrive at this point. I just never expected it to be this fast."
Jack smiled at him. He said, "Thanks for your support all this time."
"You are saying it as if you have this stage in the bag," Janus said.
"Hehe. It's the moment of truth then," Jack chuckled and touched the obelisk.
