I Got 999 Level With One Cut

He didn't know the true face of the mountain, only that he was in this mountain.    

    

Although Riko didn't know this sentence, at this moment, standing on the huge rock under the foot of Harrenbrook Mountain, she still had the same feeling.    

    

The tip of the peak had already quietly disappeared into the clouds. The world above the snow line was covered by the sky of Palewhite.    

    

According to some mages and people who had studied this area, the highest peak of Harrenbrook... It might be more than 15,000 meters above sea level. However, in fact, no one knew how high the main peak of this mountain range was. No one even knew which main peak was in Harrenbrook. In this huge mountain range, the highest peak was most likely hidden in the depths of this incomparably mysterious mountain range. There were very few people who had seen it before. Perhaps there were people who had seen it before, but they were unable to come out.    

    

What appeared in front of Riko was a long and rough staircase paved with mottled stone slabs. The moss growing on it made it look like it was covered in a layer of green. The long road in the distance was twisting and winding. It went to a place where it could not be seen and then disappeared into the clouds.    

    

There's still a way here?    

    

This was the first thought that came to Riko's mind.    

    

Who would fix the path?    

    

Meiko did not say much.    

    

She looked at the small path with nostalgia, held Riko's hand, and stepped on it.    

    

"If I remember correctly, there shouldn't be any danger here."    

    

She muttered to herself.    

    

"Be careful, don't fall from both sides. There will be a lot of fog ahead, hold onto me, don't let go"    

    

Riko tilted her head.    

    

" Meiko, I am very powerful. There is still magic detection that can be used."    

    

The blond Shield Knight smiled slightly and did not reply.    

    

Just like that, the two of them silently walked towards a higher place.    

    

Riko stared at the road under her feet. Although it looked a little bumpy, if she observed carefully, the gap between each two steps was surprisingly small. The horizontal section on the side was basically the same.    

    

Who would build such a path here?    

    

She could not help but think about this question.    

    

According to Riko's physical fitness, without the help of magic like Light art, she wouldn't be able to walk much before stopping to rest.    

    

After all, Riko could only be considered an ordinary second grade student. Previously, due to various kinds of problems, her body was not as good as an ordinary senior primary school girl.    

    

In the summer, Riko would have heatstroke if she stayed outside for a period of time. In the winter, if she wore less clothes, she would easily fall sick. Moreover, because no one took care of her, it would often develop into an even more serious illness.    

    

Riko's personality also slowly formed in this kind of past.    

    

It was not because she was weak and cute, but after she realized her weakness, unconsciously, from her behavior to her tone, she would become very careful.    

    

She did everything she could to not make the person she talked to angry. This kind of cautiousness was too much.    

    

Because perhaps Riko could only hide in the corner like this to exchange for a little favorable impression and acceptance from other people, and thus survive in good condition.    

    

This kind of personality and habit was forever engraved in Riko's soul during that period of time.    

    

Even if Riko no longer had to worry about the difficulties of the past, even if she was already standing at the peak of the Endless Void. Becoming a mage as powerful as a god, the rapid increase in strength always made Riko feel like she was hallucinating. Her past experiences also made it easier for her to worry about things that were completely unnecessary.    

    

Riko had subtly changed in the past year. She was no longer as timid as before. Sometimes, she could muster up some courage and express objections or different opinions.    

    

She might not be able to sense it, but the people around her, be it Meiko or Loli Merlin, were indeed happy because of her change.    

    

Because in the end, Meiko still wanted to make Riko happy.    

    

The more they walked forward, the thicker the fog around them.    

    

These tiny water elements that came out of nowhere condensed in the air, making the unlimited Palewhite cover their eyes.    

    

Riko Hasegawa lowered her head and was thinking about something else. When she raised her head again, she suddenly found that the surroundings had already been covered by heavy fog.    

    

The world that was only three meters away was hidden behind the milky white curtain. She looked around and could only see a small road under her feet and Meiko still holding her hand.    

    

Although the magic tentacles could still turn into her eyes and tell Riko what was around her. After all, she had only been a mage for more than a year, and those who relied on magic for decades or even centuries. The magic of trust far exceeded the magician who trusted their other organs and made judgments. It was still far from being used to it.    

    

Seemingly noticing Riko's uneasiness, Meiko gently comforted her.    

    

"It's okay. I have walked this part of the road and we are almost there."    

    

The truth was indeed like this.    

    

About five minutes later, after stepping onto the last Level 1, Riko found that the fog in front of her seemed to have disappeared a little.    

    

What appeared in front of them was a huge circular plaza. Dozens of simple and unadorned pillars supported a ring in the air that was parallel to the edge of the plaza.    

    

The path seemed to have come to an end here.    

    

There was still no clear fog outside the round square platform, but Riko could see it through her magic. Every direction was a cliff that was hundreds of meters high. The only way out seemed to be in front of the platform.    

    

But there was no road in that direction.    

    

There was only an abstract face made of heavy boulders that made people feel empty and terrified.    

    

The facial features on this face were all made of Fangzheng's rectangular shape. The person who created this thing did not seem to want it to look like a real face at all. Instead, it was a face that looked like a statue used by the barbarians to intimidate the enemy. Its dark eye sockets and mouth seemed to lead to an endless abyss. Riko did not really want to get close to this thing, but Meiko did not seem to be afraid at all. So she held up the big shield and walked in front of the big face. Finally, she stopped in front of the big face.    

    

Meiko used her armoured arm to knock on it, as if awakening something.    

    

A heavy sound appeared and then, the black mouth on the face - or rather, the shape of the "mouth" - actually made a sound of friction and collision under Riko's gaze. It started to move...    

    

Riko was shocked.    

    

She subconsciously opened the protective shield and hid behind Meiko's large shield.    

    

A deep sound like thunder was heard as the rock moved in turn. It came out of the mouth of the face, but it was like a sentence that had not been pieced together. It was incomplete and broken.    

    

"I, creator, treasure, protection. You all are not allowed to pass..."
