Chapter 112: Elder’s Trial(2)

“Nina! Attack them while they cannot move!” Leo said to her as he swung his sword at the Obsidian Ghouls.

“B-But my attacks don’t work on them!” She said.

Whoosh!

Leo’s sword cleanly severed the Obsidian Ghoul’s body in half, but there was something different about the sensation when he cut it down. It felt a lot easier to cut the Obsidian Ghoul this time.

‘This is… don’t tell me…!’

Leo quickly realized what was going on, but he needed to confirm it, so he swung his sword at another Obsidian Ghoul.

‘I knew it! It’s a lot easier cutting them now that they’re restrained! Is this an additional effect of the artifact, or do Obsidian Ghouls become weaker when they are restrained? Either way, this is great for us!’

He then shared his findings with Nina, “Nina! I don’t know why, but their defenses are a lot weaker now! Maybe you can kill them in their current state! Hurry up! My mana won’t last long with how much mana this artifact consumes!”

After hearing his words, Nina immediately commanded her skeleton warriors to attack the Obsidian Ghouls, and sure enough, their attacks were no longer deflected. With that being said, the skeleton warriors were still not strong enough to completely cut down the Obsidian Ghouls with a single strike like Leo.

However, that didn’t matter to her.?? ? ?? n ? ???

Nina proceeded to spread out her skeleton army, putting three skeleton warriors on each Obsidian Ghouls.

Over the next minute, Leo and Nina would hastily cut down all of the Obsidian Ghouls in the chamber while they all stood there helplessly and frozen, almost as though time had stopped for them.

“Haaa… haaa… haaa…” Leo collapsed on the floor after killing the final Obsidian Ghoul, as he’d just ran out of mana and was currently experiencing mana fatigue.

“Here, drink this mana potion…” Nina helped him drink the mana potion by pouring the liquid inside his mouth.

“If it weren’t for the artifact, we would’ve probably died just now.” Leo sighed.

“But we survived, and that’s all it matters.” Nina said.

A few moments later, Edgar Darkmore’s voice resounded in the chamber, “Congratulations on passing the trial. You probably used the Elder’s Orb of Restraints in order to do so, which is completely fine because that was my intention in the first place. How did you like it— my creation? The Elder’s Orb of Restraints is an S-Rank artifact that can seal the movements of all nearby enemies and even decrease their defenses significantly. However, what you’ve witnessed is just the tip of my prowess— a small taste of what you can acquire if you have my legacy! If you were impressed by it, you will definitely be shocked by what else I have in store for you… implying that you are willing to accept my legacy!”

Leo swallowed nervously after hearing the Elder’s words.

The Elder’s Orb of Restraints is already an overpowered artifact, yet the Elder claims to have even more powerful artifacts? If he could get his hands on these artifacts, he won’t have to worry about being bullied by the strong! p??da n?vel

“If you wish to find my legacy, I have left a clue in the Elder’s Orb of Restraints that will lead you to the location of the next trial. If not… then you are going to miss out on some of the most powerful artifacts in this world.”

“This is all for now. Until next time, Worthy One.”

“H-Hey! How do we get out of here?!” Leo quickly shouted.

But alas, there was no response.

“Now what…?” Nina mumbled in a dazed voice.

“I don’t—”

p ?? da n ?v el Before Leo could even finish his sentence, the altar beside them suddenly radiated with a blue light, and a massive magic circle that covered the entire chamber suddenly appeared.

Leo and Nina disappeared from the chamber shortly afterward.

After being teleported out of the chamber, Leo and Nina found themselves outside the cave. ,c,om

“Huh? This looks like the entrance to the cave.” Leo mumbled.

The ground suddenly started shaking, and right before their very eyes, the cave entrance collapsed on itself.

“…”

“I hope there’s nobody in there…” Leo swallowed nervously.

Ding!

<You have completed a Special Quest>

[+300,000 Magic Experience, 1,500 Magic Points]

[Magic Experience: 614,200/1,000,000]

[Magic Points: 5,554]

“What an experience that was…” Nina suddenly sat on the ground with a look of disbelief on her face.

“I’ll set up the tent so we can rest.” Leo said to her before setting up the tent right in front of the collapsed cave entrance.

The two of them would proceed to wash their bodies and eat some food without uttering a single word to each other.

Once she finished her food, Nina looked at Leo and stared at him in silence.

“If you have something to say, say it.” He said.

“What are you going to do now? Are you going to continue looking for his legacy?” She asked him.

“…”

After pondering for a moment, he nodded, “Yes, I am going to accept his challenge.”

“I figured…” Nina sighed out loud.

“Are you against it?”

“I’m still suspicious of the Elder’s true intentions, but I won’t stop you if you want to look for his legacy. I’m sure that most people would do the same if they knew that they could acquire artifacts like the Elder’s Orb of Restraints by doing so. I will also keep this a secret, so you don’t need to worry about that.”

“Thank you, Nina.” Leo smiled at her, who immediately blushed a little.

Sometime later, Leo subconsciously looked at his watch.

[Points: 35,213,000]

His eyes widened with shock, “T-Thirty million points?!”

“What?!” Nina immediately looked at her watch, and sure enough, they had over 35 million points.

“How did we get so many points? We barely had 3 million points the last time I saw it!”

“It’s probably due to those monsters during the trial. I think they were A-Rank monsters.” Leo said.

“That makes sense… but with this much points, we should be—”

[Rank: 1]

“Yup, we’re rank 1 now.” Leo said with a smile.
