Chapter 181 One
After contemplating for a while about his new unique skill, Alex started walking out of the Trial Tower.
On his way out, he passed by the stone monument's ranking and saw that it had changed.
At the very top, the name that was written became 'Zero'.
That means, Alex has just become the one that cleared the 2nd Tier trial with the highest points!
"It seems like choosing the Abyss difficulty was the right choice. I don't know how the Trial Tower scores its trialists though."
Alex fell silent for a moment before saying, "I wonder if anyone else can really complete the Abyss trial…"
Alex thought about that for a few seconds before shaking his head.
"Well, since I'm the first one who was able to do it, then I guess not."
Next, Alex opened his inventory and saw that his other reward, the [Random Treasure Chest] has also arrived.
"Since there's nothing else for me to do here, it's about time I leave this place."
Taking a step forward, Alex soon saw the outside of the Trial Tower.
Closing his eyes, Alex took a deep breath.
"Hais~ I'm back~."
When he opened his eyes again, Alex turned his head in a certain direction and saw Ferri and the Flame Lion already looking back at him.
Smiling, Alex walked towards them and said, "It took me a while to clear the trial. I hope you two didn't cause any problems, huh."
Hearing Alex's words, a serious expression appeared on Ferri's face and he barked,
"Woof!"
It seems like he's telling Alex that they didn't do anything while he's gone.
Alex smiled more and rubbed Ferri's furry neck.
After playing with Ferri for a while, Alex looked at the Flame Lion next and said, "I guess you also didn't cause any trouble."
Unlike Ferri's enthusiastic mood around Alex, the Flame Lion seems to still want to maintain the last bit of dignity that it has by acting calm all the time.
It gently bowed its head to Alex in response to his words.
Alex nodded and didn't say anything more to it.
After that, Alex decided to go back to Kupido Town.
"Well then, let's try to journey back to Kupido Town on foot this time."
"Ferri, I will be riding on your back again this time."
Hearing that, Ferri began to get excited.
"Woof! Woof!"
Alex patted its head that was lowered in front of him.
"Let's go. We have to go somewhere first before we really leave Nagels."
Saying that, Alex started moving in a certain direction.
Behind him, Ferri and the Flame Lion both stood up at the same time and followed Alex.
When Alex left, a lot of eyes that had been looking at him the moment he left the Trial Tower also headed back to their respective places.
Shadow, the one that the King has ordered to gather information on Alex, has also come back to the castle.
At the Castle's throne room.
The Kind is looking at the kneeling man wearing all black from top to bottom and said, "So, he has already come out, huh."
"Hmm, it only took him less than 24 hours to clear the 2nd Tier's trial. I'm curious as to what difficulty he chose…"
There was a momentary silence as Alex and the dragon looked at the place where both of their attacks just disappeared without saying anything.
After a few seconds, Alex turned his eyes at the dragons and looked directly into its eyes.
Then he said, "I guess my [Tidal Wave]'s power is just the same as your fire breath, huh."
"And here I was thinking that I'll get the upper hand since water suppresses fire."
Alex added, shaking his head in pity.
While saying that, Alex didn't stop moving.
At this time, he already arrived just a few meters away from the dragon and picked up the fallen knife.
The knife trembled in excitement once Alex touched it.
Bzzzt!
Alex chuckled, "Alright, alright, let's end this flying lizard first."
Bzzzt!
With a knife in hand, a sharp light flashed through Alex's eyes as he said, "I wonder if your barrier is enough to defend against my next attack."
Next, Alex once again used [Energy Slash] to charge mana to his blood red knife.
Chiiiii!
Mana started surging towards the knife at a fast speed and in no time, it had already reached 10 thousand mana!
However, Alex didn't stop there.
Right now, Alex wants to test out the current limit of the knife after it has gone through a
At the same time, Alex knows that with just 10 thousand mana, the possibility of breaking the dragon's barrier is low.
That's why, he decided to put as much as he can in this next attack.
Feeling the mana rushing through it, the knife started to feel excited which was then transmitted to Alex.
Alex looked at the knife with a smile and said, "What? Are you that excited to get a taste of dragon's blood?"
"Heh, then let's not waste more time!"
Trembling, the knife agreed.
At the same time, the mana in the knife has also reached 30 thousand!
"This much mana should be more than enough to break that lizard's barrier."
"I guess I won't be able to find out your current limit right now."
Even though he said that, Alex wasn't so disappointed.
After all, the knife can only handle 10 thousand before it goes through an upgrade.
But now, it can even take more than 30 thousand mana!
It increased by multiple times!
Because of this, Alex's curiosity about this knife grew more and more.
Anyway, Alex stopped pouring mana on the knife and without hesitation, he slashed it at the neck of the red dragon!
Shiing!
A sharp milky white crescent energy came out of the knife and shot towards the dragon.
When the [Energy Slash] arrived at the dragon's range, the barrier surrounding it immediately showed itself and tried to stop the attack.
However, the power contained in that one slash is so powerful that it didn't even take a second for the dragon's barrier to break!
Shatter!
Then without stopping, the [Energy Slash] headed to the neck at the now frightened dragon.
"ROO-"
Whish!
The dragon attempted to let out a roar but the [Energy Slash] had already arrived and slashed through its neck.
The head of the dragon flew in the air and blood sprinkled out of its severed neck like rain.
The knife in Alex's hand started vibrating wildly because of ecstasy!
Bzzzt! Bzzzzt! Bzzzzt!
As it starts raining down with the blood of the dragon, some of it falls onto the knife and it starts trembling more in excitement!
Noticing that, Alex laughed and said, "You're really happy to absorb dragon's blood, huh."
"I don't know if this will come with beneficial effects to you, but there's nothing bad to let you absorb more of it."
Saying that, Alex walked closer at the dragon's dead body and stabbed the knife at its neck, to let it absorb more blood.
After doing that, Alex looked at the notifications in front of him.
[You killed a 3-Star Level 136 Red Dragon, +1,300,600 experience points.]
[Ding!]
[You have cleared the most difficult level 'Abyss' in the 2nd trial of the Trial Tower!]
[Congratulations, you made a feat that has never been done before!]
[Please choose your reward: Legendary Weapon x1, Cure-all Elixir x1, One-time Elementary Annihilation Skill Scroll x1, Orichalcum x10, Random Treasure Chest x1...]
[Congratulations, you have successfully advanced to Tier-2!]
[Please choose your reward: Random Item, Stats Multiplication x5, Random Unique Skill, Random Pet Egg…]
…
When Alex laid eyes on the reward notifications, his eyes lit up.
"I get to choose two rewards? Awesome!"
"Let's see, let's see…"
Alex started browsing through the long list of rewards available for him to pick from full of enthusiasm.
There are a lot of items on the list and some of the rewards in the two rewards selection lists overlap with each other.
After a while of hard thinking, Alex has finally come to a decision.
"Okay, I'm done thinking. I'll just pick this and this!"
Alex decided to pick [Random Treasure Chest] for the achievement reward and [Random Unique Skill] for the trial completion reward.
You might be thinking, 'Why didn't he pick the Stats Multiplication x5?!'.
Well, that is because after thinking for some time, Alex has come to the conclusion that getting a new unique skill might become more useful in the long run.
Since Stats are easy to earn with his unique skill [Sacrifice], Alex is not that keen in picking the stats multiplication.
Anyway, by the time Alex finished picking, the knife on the side had also finished absorbing the blood of the dragon.
Bzzzt!
Alex looked at the knife and smiled,
"You're done? Then I will sacrifice this body now."
Saying that, Alex pulled out the knife from the dragon's corpse before using [Sacrifice] on it.
