After a few minutes, she put all the thoughts of this failure aside and calmly stood up.
"I will show everyone who I am and I will get our lost name back. I will get everything back."
"After this, no one will ever question our standing as a top guild."
She then walked out of the inn, heading to the new tower that had magically popped up in the middle of Yleka city after the update.
This was the PVP tower. Every player was able to climb this tower by participating in duels.
A set number of wins was required to advance to each floor and moreover, wagers can be placed on the different fights.
At the same time, one can't climb very fast and then not participate in further duels. Even to maintain one's current standing, constant participation was required.
Most importantly, in this tower, there were no loopholes and no shortcuts available. One's standing and rank relied on one's own strength.
The participants' levels would be equalized so one would not even be able to use the level difference to their advantage.
Everything would boil down to their fighting skills.
Alex lowered her cloak, covering her appearance to some extent, and weaved through the crowded city to reach this tower.
"I will climb to the top and show everyone what true strength is! Hmph!"
Gritting her teeth, she also messaged Mia, temporarily handing over all of her duties in the guild, and informed her that she would be focusing on this for a while.
"Tell everyone that you are punishing me for the setback. This should appease some people. If needed, strike my name off as the guild leader." She resolutely declared.
However, after hearing her words, the first thing Mia asked was…
"Are you again trying to pick a fight with him?"
"I slipped up once alright. Give me some credit. Please!" Alex almost shouted out loud. The very mention of that name made her blood boil.
It took her a minute to calm down and she then explained.
"If what I am thinking is correct, then the rewards in these towers should be amazing. From the news of the forum, every kingdom and Empire apparently has these towers."
"When we reach level 50, we will be able to access teleportation gates and go to these different places."
"So before that, I want to practice here and improve my skills or at least gauge the level of our future opponents."
"If we can reach the topmost floor somehow… " Alex tilted her head up to see the top of the tower that was sky-high, higher than the skyscrapers on earth.
"I think we can get amazing rewards. I just know it."
"Ok, do as you please." Mia curtly answered and hung up the call.
Alex did not feel bad because her sister was always like this.
Mia would never be upset with her for such a small screw-up, nevertheless, she was determined to make up for it.
She clenched her fist and walked into the tower.
"Sorry, Mia. I lied a little.. I am not doing this for that bastard, but if he happens to cross paths with me, I will not let him off so easily."
