Aelric continued, his tone growing more serious. "From the fifth floor and above, things start getting tough. The opponents you face there are no joke. Most of the time, you'll have to go up against people at the sixth or seventh level of the Seeker Rank. Sometimes, even someone at the eighth level might appear."
He added in the last. "Sure, there are still a few at the fifth level here and there, but winning ten consecutive battles against high-level geniuses? That's insanely difficult. One mistake and you're sent back. So, yeah… it's not about matching your floor with your level. It's about whether your strength — your real strength — can carry you through the challenge."
Max's expression turned serious as he listened to Aelric. He hadn't expected the Tower of Truth to be this difficult. The challenge it posed was far greater than he'd imagined.
The idea of having to defeat multiple high-level Seeker Rank geniuses in a row just to move up a single floor sounded exhausting.
