Chapter 1155: Flame Empress & Lightning Magus - Part 2

1155  Flame Empress & Lightning Magus - Part 2

[Congratulations! You have finished the Trial of Epic!]

[You have advanced to Epic Rank!]

[Please choose the following rewards!]

[(Bloodline) (Class) (Talent) (Artifact)]

Zowen looked at her options, and she hesitated to come up with a decision. She wanted to choose Artifact, so she could get a higher rank of Class or Bloodline or Talent. However, she was just an Ancient Rank, there was only one more trial after she finished this trial. Her strength would be left behind by miles by Rosalie if she chose the Artifact as the reward.

Meanwhile, she did not know how far off she was far from the Myth Rank. After clearing the whole thirty waves in the Trial of Epic, she gained seventy levels. She was still far from the Myth rank if she had to guess.

"Should I take a risk?" The Lightning Magus really wanted to take the risk and saved the other three options for the next trial.

Rosalie said she would take the Artifact for the first trial for the same reason. However, Rosalie could afford to make such a decision because there were two more trials ahead of her.

The options left the Lightning Magus in dilemma. She sat down on the ground as she started to get anxious. She meditated, calming herself from making a stupid decision. Three minutes passed, and she opened her eyes. After three minutes of meditation, she decided what she wanted to take, Artifact.

[Staff of Prudence] [Mantle of Wisdom] [Robe of Wisdom] [Grimoire of Lightning]

Zowen encountered something she did not expect on the list. She immediately excluded the staff since she had one already, but she was interested in the other three. Choosing the Artifact was a means for her to get a higher rank of Bloodline, Class, and Talent. She was not expecting to get a useful Artifact to the one she had already, but this was a surprise for her.

The Lightning Magus was interested in the Mantle of Wisdom and Robe of Wisdom. She guessed the two items might be related to her new attribute, Wisdom. Maybe the item would help her raise her Wisdom attribute. However, the last one was not less interesting than the Wisdom series item. She did not know what Grimoire of Lightning did, but she was interested to find out.

"Maybe Artifact is not that bad of a choice," It took her less to decide than before. Her choice was Grimoire of Lightning. The space cracked, producing the grimoire right in front of her. The grimoire was similar to a thick book, but the front cover was the difference. The front cover was made of an unknown metal, and it kept a discharging spark of lightning.

Zowen extended her hand, and the grimoire fell on her hand. The spark did not hurt her, and she immediately inspected the item in her hand. To her surprise, nothing came up. There was no description from the system just like any other items. She furrowed her brows, observing the grimoire in her hand. She did not believe it was a defective item from the System.

"Let's open…." The Lightning Magus opened the grimoire, and lightning burst out from the grimoire, taking her by surprise. She subconsciously threw the grimoire away and fell on her butt as the lightning came toward her face. However, the lightning did not hurt her, there was no injury. When she was about to look for the grimoire, a stream of knowledge came into her head.

"ARGHHH…." It was a painful experience for her. She curled her body on the ground, clutching her head while enduring the pain. There was too much information entering her head. She was sweating, the sweat soaked her robe, and it lasted for ten minutes.

"Hah… hah… hah…" The Lightning Magus breathed heavily after such a horrible experience. Her eyes were vacant, staring at the dusty ground, processing information in her head. The grimoire was indeed an Artifact, but a different Artifact than the weapon or armor. The grimoire held a knowledge, it was as if she just inherited someone else's knowledge about lightning. The Grimoire of Lightning contained the knowledge of lightning, more than what she knew. Her understanding of lighting went up, and she learned about types of lightning.

It was too much knowledge for her to process in a short time, but it was groundbreaking information for her. Despite being hailed as a Lightning Magus in her previous world, she realized that her understanding of lightning was too shallow. She was suddenly embarrassed by herself to receive such a title when she knew so little about lightning.

"This grimoire just convinced me to stay behind instead of following Tang Shaoyang," She muttered by herself.

Zowen thought of staying behind instead of following Tang Shaoyang to climb the dimensional tower. That was why she chose to take the Artifact. She would be making the decision after she finished the Trial of Ancient, trying to find out what she got from the Trial of Ancient. If she got something good from the Trial of Ancient, she might follow Rosalie to chase after Tang Shaoyang, but if she deemed it was not good enough. She would go on her own on her journey to explore more of the Dimensional Tower's eleventh floor. That was the plan when she chose the Artifact as her reward.

However, the knowledge inside the Grimoire of Lighting convinced her to stay behind. She wanted to comprehend all the knowledge before climbing up the tower. She might have missed the boss floor on the eleventh floor, but there were still more boss floors above. A smile formed on her lips as she got up. She could not hide her happiness despite the horrible experience earlier.

Zowen took the portal of the trial dimension, returning to her room. She came out of the room and headed to her assigned attendant's office to make a report about her trial. She arrived at the room and knocked on the door thrice.

"Come in."

The Lightning Magus opened the door.

The female attendant's expression brightened seeing Zowen. She stood up and smiled while offering congratulations, "Congratulations for your advancement, Miss Zowen."

"Thank you," Zowen smiled and took the seat opposite the female attendant. She was being interviewed about what she went through in the trial. The Lightning Magus cooperated, answering all the questions until the last question.

"What do you choose for the reward?"

Zowen furrowed her brow. She felt like the reward should not be shared with anyone, not with someone she did not trust, "I want to keep it a secret."

Even though she fully cooperated, it did not mean she fully trusted the female attendant. She trusted Tang Shaoyang but not his people. If it was Tang Shaoyang or even Zaneos who asked her, she would gladly answer them, but not the female attendant in front of her. She died because of someone her lover's betrayal, and she was not going to repeat the same mistake.

The female attendant smiled, "Don't worry, Miss Zowen. Your information will be kept secret. For

your information, I have taken the oath to take this job. If I spread your information without your permission or my superior's permission. I will die from a heart attack. Your information is safe with us."
