Just find a way to make her attack the Nature Elf Village."

"As for the rest of you..."

Azekiel gave each of the Lord of Sins a task, and all tasks seemed unrelated. For one, he gave a task to go to the Exchange Market and buy something. To other, he gave a task of killing someone.

With his tasks, he had covered a myriad of species that lived on this Floor. As for why no one knew. They all knew what the Trial of this Floor was. And whatever tasks Azekiel gave them didn't appear related to the trial at all.

Still, they didn't question him. Even if they did, Azekiel wasn't willing to explain too much. It was his Trial, and he had intentionally split up the work, so in the end, it was him who cleared the Floor. He needed the regard of this floor.

"After you're all done, come and meet me in the Orc Village in the South. I'll be there. Remember, you have three days to finish your tasks. So be fast."

"Ah, alright."

Scratching their heads, most of the Lords left, filled with confusion. They wondered if these missions were somehow related to the Triads or if they were related to the Trial. In any case, they believed these couldn't be random missions just to waste their time.

"Are you sure this is the mission that you want us to do?" Layim asked, just to be sure.

Only after getting a nod from Azekiel, he left. Since he was a part of the team of a King, he couldn't say no to such a simple task. Especially since his own task was so simple. All he needed to do was create some conflict. And who better to do this task than the Lord of Lies? All he needed were a couple of convincing lies that were amplified by his skills.

Layim was the last person to leave, returning Azekiel to the silence of the forest.

Azekiel had everything planned. He knew what to do now, but still, he didn't leave the forest. He just laid on the soft grass, looking at the moon.

"Raphael?"

Raphael gazed at Azekiel, responding to the call. "Yes, My Monarch."

"Here, take this." Azekiel brought the red apple out of his storage ring, which actually belonged to Raphael. It was given to him by the old man.

Now that Azekiel knew that the old man wasn't the Soul Demon and that these apples were truly special, he wanted to have Raphael try them.

The apple that he was given gave him the ability to touch his Familiars. He was curious just what these apples were going to do with Raphael.

Through the last few days, he had seen Raphael appearing somewhat distant. He wanted to help Raphael in any way he could, so he could get the old Raphael back, and this thing was something he placed his hopes on.

"This apple... I don't need one. It'll just be wasted on me. You should keep that for emergencies. In any case, an apple can't do anything for me."

"Just try it. I don't need it anymore. I have the ring and sufficient reserves for quite some time. Moreover, this was given to you. It belongs to you. Just try it."

Azekiel placed the apple on the grass near Raphael before bringing out the second and the last one he had.

"This is for you. Eat it." He placed the second apple near Lia.

"I've given what belongs to you. You can either eat them to see what happens, or you can throw them in the river. That decision rests in your hand now."

He didn't even bother to see what the two did with the apples. Subconsciously, he was sure that the two of them were going to eat them, especially since it was better than wasting them.

Ignoring his surroundings, Azekiel glanced at the moon in the sky. He wasn't even sure if this was the real moon or just an illusion, but it looked beautiful.

Strangely enough, just as Azekiel started focusing on the moon, the moon appeared to glitch for a moment.

However, it wasn't the moon glitching. Instead, it was a screen that appeared before his eyes.

[Conqueror of Worlds: Special effects have activated]

[You have received a Hidden Mission. Do you want to accept the Second Mission of your Hidden Quest?]

[Rewards: Direct Access to the Eleventh Floor]

[Rewards: Map of Castle of Infinity]

[Rewards: Title of World Jumper]

'Second mission of the Hidden Quest? Does it mean the chain quest that I received regarding killing the Soul Demon?'

'It's giving me access to the Eleventh Floor? I don't think anyone in my last timeline had managed to get to the Eleventh Floor. That's certainly interesting. Then again, with greater rewards, there come greater risks. The first quest itself was about killing the Soul Demon. Without Defence Penetration, I would've been dead right there.'

'If it's the second quest of that part, it'll only be tougher.'

Lost in thoughts, Azekiel rubbed his chin subconsciously. The offer was very interesting, but he didn't know what the quest was until he accepted it.

'The Eleventh Floor will be way more dangerous than the Fourth Floor. With the way I am, the tenth floor itself would've been life-threatening. I'm not strong enough. But then again, I do not want to miss the opportunity. Instead of fighting weaker enemies, if I straight killed people on the Eleventh Floor, the level boost would be epic.'

This decision was even harder than the last decision, where he had to accept the first quest of this Hidden Mission.

Moreover, these missions weren't given to just anyone. He only received this mission because of his Secondary Title: Conqueror of Words.

When he had received his secondary title, he was informed that the Title was going to allow him an opportunity to receive Hidden Tower Missions. But the missions were going to come with such incredible rewards and difficulty; even he hadn't expected that.

A timer also appeared under the Screen, but the time on the timer was so little that he didn't even have time to consult with others. There were only five seconds on the timer.

[00:00:04]

[00:00:03]

"Accept!"

Azekiel pressed on the screen and accepted the unknown mission, which was to open new doors for him that he never could've expected.

Moreover, he had a feeling that this Castle of Infinity was related to the Eleventh Floor, or even higher. That meant the place was really too important to be ignored.

Unfortunately, going to Eleventh Floor also meant that he was going to lose the opportunity of getting the Title of other floors that he hadn't cleared yet. He also couldn't meet Lucifer, but that was only a matter of time. He was sure Lucifer was going to reach that floor sooner or later. And this time, instead of chasing after Lucifer, he was going to take the lead.

He planned to be waiting for Lucifer on the Eleventh Floor. At least that was his initial plan. He didn't realize just what kind of mess the Eleventh Floor actually was. It was the Floor where the true Tower of Sins began.

If the First Ten Floors were like practice floors, the eleventh Floor and the above were real hell, where the true secrets of the Tower rested.

As soon as Azekiel accepted the mission, a new screen appeared. This time, the screen was blood red, with white characters.

Azekiel went through the quest that was written on the screen. The screen kept glitching repeatedly for some reason as if it was having a hard time even showing such a high-ranking mission at this time.

Right beside him, Raphael finally took a bite of the Apple after thinking for a long time. Lia did the same.
