Guardian Of The End

Chapter 209 Challenge Of Greed [Part 1]

'I guess that's good to know. I can suffer major injuries from simply eating too much food…'

[ I don't think you will be eating food again. Since Koro is the sin of greed, you will be facing something greed related. ]

Seconds after the system had said these words, a red silver screen appeared in front of Jason.

< Would you like to change your physical appearance? >

Jason blinked in surprise after reading the words.

< Do you want to see your looks first before making the decision? >

"Yes, I do." Jason replied instinctively.

The silver screen was replaced by a plain mirror which showed Jason his upper body.

He focused on his face and was happy to see that the signs of puberty were not visible on his face.

[ Your family genes also prevent your facial hair and body hair growth and a lot of other stuff. You can consider yourself to be quite lucky. ]

Jason smiled a bit as he saw his hair extending down his forehead.

After thinking about it for a few minutes, Jason said yes to the option and opened another screen.

This time he could see his upper body in the form of a game stats.

It was similar to how one could format their own character in role playing games.

Jason clicked on the hair option and shortened his hair. Once he had gotten it to a more controllable length, he exited the window and returned to the main interface.

Jason tried looking for a close button, but it wasn't visible.

'I feel like I'm looking at one of those annoying ads that can't be closed.' Jason complained as he sat down.

He was currently present in a garden made full of roses, something he had noticed only after shortening his hair.

Jason soon started creating different things out of thunder and dark elements, ignoring the self-editing screen in front of his face.

Fifteen minutes passed by in this manner before the screen vanished.

Jason released a sigh and stood up to face whatever was about to come next.

"Eh?" Jason blinked in surprise when he saw a stack of dollar bills falling from the sky.

Soon enough, thousands of hundred-dollar bills started raining from the sky, making Jason wonder what he was witnessing.

"Um, those aren't really useful to me anymore. I can't do anything with dollar bills." Jason said aloud.

Suddenly, the dollar bills turned into gold coins that rained from the sky.

Jason groaned and activated his thunder element to dodge the incoming coin attacks.

"How am I supposed to take these with myself?!" Jason shouted.

This time, the coin rain stopped, and laughter echoed around the entire place.

"You are funny, kid." A deep voice slowly crept up Jason's ears.

"Now who might you be? Someone trapped inside the ring?"

"No, I'm just the consciousness of the ring. I don't have any name or body but I'm still here." The voice replied. "I'll give you one last challenge."

With that, Jason was thrown into his last challenge for the day… hopefully.

Once he appeared in the new spot, Jason immediately put his guard up. The last challenges were usually the most difficult ones.

He was standing in a clearing with four silver blocks floating in front of him. All of the blocks emitted an ominous aura, making Jason raise his hands in their direction.

The first silver block started mutating and in less than a minute, Jason was looking at a perfect clone of himself.

They looked nearly identical except for the fact that the other Jason had good, styled hair and perfect skin. He could have rivaled one of the jade beauties always mentioned in web novels.

'Why do people love to make clones? I will have to fight another version of myself. This is getting kinda old.' Jason sighed.

However, he soon regretted thinking that. The clone version of him started mutating again until its muscles were four times what Jason had.

Thunder started flickering around the clone's body before wrapping around its body and created an armor of sorts.

Jason looked at this with narrowed eyes just as the second cube started changing its shape. Soon enough, another Jason was standing beside the first one.

This one, however, was quite thin when compared to the real one. His hair was also kept quite short and white thunder was flickering around his body.

'Oh wait, don't tell me that they are going to show the various versions of thunder that I can use…' Jason caught on quickly.

His theory turned out to be correct when the last cube also took the form of another clone. This one had quite long hair and had it tied behind in a ponytail.

His clothes looked like that of a hunter and a lasso made from green thunder was also present in his hands.

'What will the last cube show? I don't think I have any other unlocked version of lightning.' Jason thought curiously.

Unfortunately, he didn't get to see the form of the last cube. The green thunder version of him through a dozen lassos at him together.

'That was quick.'

Jason immediately turned on his white thunder version and started dodging the lassos. The speed version of him immediately vanished from its spot and appeared right beside Jason.

The latter didn't have the time to register its sudden appearance. The clone kicked Jason in the gut, making him stop his movement.

The lasso guy immediately pulled on the strings of his lassos. Somehow, all of them were not tied to Jason legs and prevented him from moving.

"Now is the time for the bulky guy to attack." Jason rolled his eyes. "Such an old tactic."

The normal thunder guy seemed offended by his comment and immediately jumped from his spot.

Jason saw the clone soaring high before coming right at him. Jason cracked his neck a bit before sighing aloud.

"I guess this is the only time I will get to see how powerful I am without any restrictions…" Jason mumbled.

The lassos tying him down suddenly darkened before turning to dust. The lasso guy was confused by this but his confusion didn't last for long.

The ground around Jason's feet started getting corrupted and cracks appeared on it. Jason vanished from his spot and avoided the incoming attack.

"You should control your power more carefully." Jason commented as he brushed some dust of his clothes.

Normal thunder clone immediately sank into the ground as the cracks broke apart. Lasso guy had to use his thunder lassos to pull the first clone up or else he would have sunken kilometers under the ground.

Jason had done this by using the dark element to corrupt the ground and create a tunnel of sorts below his location.

"I hope you are ready to fight seriously." Jason smiled. "Cause I am ready to rumble.
