Chapter 150 - final trail

We looked through them one by one.

There were high-quality healing potions, and we found another good reward called Elemental Orbs.

[Item: Elemental Orb]

[Type: Consumable]

[Effect: Increases the mastery of your element. Channel your elemental intent into the orb and absorb it completely.]

My eyes lit up, and I took one, leaving the rest for the others.

There was another class-changing card as well.

[Lightbringer]

There was also one high-tier Bloodline Awakening Vial, but Amy told me not to use it either. Elara asked for it, so I simply gave it to her.

Then I took the Elemental Orb and tried to channel Space into it, but I immediately stopped.

I got another good idea.

A small grin appeared on my face as I began using Darkness and Space together, creating Abyss, and channeled it into the orb.

The orb began to glow pitch black.

Then I started absorbing it completely.

I could feel my element growing a little stronger, but for me, that was plenty.

However, the class card this time was valuable to Luna and Elena.

Luna decided to give it to Elena.

Luna said,

"Sister, it’s fine. I have lots of time. I can find another one before the academy."

Elena didn’t refuse. She accepted the card and gently brushed Luna’s head.

Then Luna came to my side.

"So, did you use the Elemental Orb on yourself? And what element did you choose?"

"No, wait. Let me guess."

She thought for a moment before saying with a bright smile,

"Is it Space?"

I smiled and shook my head.

Then she asked,

"Darkness?"

I shook my head again.

Her eyes widened.

"Ice?"

Once again, I shook my head.

"Then what?"

A question appeared on her head she try to think but nothing came and she look at me with expectation for my answer.

But I replied with."Isn’t it you who said you could guess?"

I said with a playful smile.

She looked at me with annoyance.

"Tell me. What did you do? You only have those three elements."

I grinned and deliberat to tell her or keep suspending but in the end i decided to tell her.

I ask her "are you sure about that i only use those elements didn’t you remember the special dark spell i use."

"I combined Darkness and Space and created Abyss. Then I channeled it into the orb and absorbed it."

Her eyes lit up when she heard that she remembers the few time i use that and she got a thought."Can I do something like that too?"

Then she channeled her Ice and Light elements into the orb.

It began to glow beautifully with a bright white-blue shade.

Her face lit up, and she began absorbing it as well.

I watched her and smiled.

But I couldn’t use all my elements like that because Abyss was too powerful. If I used Ice, it would only be absorbed by Abyss.

Luna fully absorbed her orb as well and nodded with satisfaction before trying out her element.

And ask how’s it’s goes from your expression it’s went well.

She nodded. "It’s went smoothly and i can feel my both element receiving a small boost."

I smiled at that and nodded i to felt a boost at my darkness and space.

Then I realized that I hadn’t tested mine either.

So I tried it as well.

I created a raw Abyssal aura in my hand and made it glow.

My hand began glowing with Abyssal darkness as I waved it around.

I could feel the power behind it.

A big grin appeared on my face.

This is awesome.

I felt like I could rip a beast apart with just my hand.

Then I canceled the spell.

It was too powerful for me, and my mana was already drained.

I looked at Amy and asked,

"How about we go to another room?"

Amy considered it. There were still a few hours before the next level.

Then she asked,

"So, what do you guys think? Should we go for another room or wait for the next trial?"

Then Elena spoke up.

"There are only a few hours left, and we don’t know what the next challenge will be. How about we stay here, recover ourselves, and maintain perfect condition for the next trial?"

All the members thought about it and nodded.

Then we discussed what kind of challenge we might face in the next trial.

I took out plenty of food for everyone to enjoy. Luna and I talked about the trial at the beginning, and then we started talking about absolutely nothing—just random, nonsensical things with bright smiles on our faces.

It was so enjoyable to talk with her and tease her.

Honestly, it was even more fun than fighting.

Then that rabbit came again.

"Your time is up here. Now get prepared for the next trial. And that’s the last trial you will have."

"The winner of that trial gets the unlimited reward of this Secret Realm, so do your best."

"As for the trial, it’s simple enough. There is a room where I will place each team, and the team that stays in that room the longest will win."

Amy asked,

"What does that mean?"

The rabbit explained.

"In that room, you will face waves of monsters. If you think you can’t handle them, you can exit. But the team that stays there the longest and kills the most monsters wins the trial."

"Any questions?"

I raised my hand and asked,

"If all the other teams give up, does that mean we’re the winners? So, will you announce it at that time, or will you wait for everyone to give up?"

The rabbit looked at me, nodded, and said,

"Don’t worry. I will inform you if you win."

I nodded.

Then Luna asked,

"How often does each monster wave come? Is there a set amount of time between them, or is it random? Like, when we kill all the monsters, will the next wave appear?"

The rabbit replied,

"It’s both. It can be that the next wave comes moments after you defeat the previous monsters."

"But even if you don’t defeat them, another group of monsters will automatically spawn after some time."

Luna nodded.

Then Elara asked,

"What kind of monsters are there?"

The rabbit smiled and said,

"That is a secret. You will find out yourselves. But I can tell you one thing: the monsters are not the same in each round. They get stronger."

Elara nodded.

Elena asked as well,

"Is there any reward for second and third place?"

The rabbit nodded again.

"Yes. Everyone who participated will receive a reward. They won’t be as powerful as the first-place reward, but everyone will get something."

Elena nodded.

The rabbit then asked,

"So, are you guys ready for the final trial of the Secret Realm?"

Amy looked at us.

We all nodded.

She gave the confirmation, and we were all teleported away again.

And we entered a completely different room.

There were ruins everywhere. The entire place looked like the remains of an ancient castle.

Then we heard the sound of monsters rushing toward us.

I immediately got Eclipse and looked in that direction.

A wild boar was charging straight at us.

I calmed down, but that bastard boar suddenly went straight toward Luna.

My eye twitched.

Why do these monsters always go after her? Why not anyone else?

I immediately fired a Dark Bullet.

It pierced the boar’s head, killing it in one shot.

The boar collapsed to the ground, and Luna came over to my side.

I thought she was going to thank me.

Instead, her cheeks puffed out.

"Hey, Gray! That’s my prey! You stole it!"

I looked at her dumbfounded.

"Hey, I saved you."

She looked like an angry hamster as she glared at me.

"Who asked you to save me? Humph!"

Then she turned away, only to see another wild boar charging straight toward her.

Her eyes immediately lit up.

She drew her ice-blue sword and unleashed an attack infused with both Ice and Light.

The sword slashed through the boar like cheese.

The boar fell to the ground in two halves.

Luna looked at me with a smug expression.

"See? I can handle myself. Who wants a slacker like you to help me?"

A black line appeared on my forehead.

"What did you say?"

She didn’t back down.

"Slacker."

Then I did something she didn’t expect.

"You’re right. I’m too bored. I’ll stay at your back while you protect me."

Amy, who was nearby killing monsters, burst out laughing.

Luna looked at me like I was some kind of alien.

"You..."

I simply yawned and said,

"What? I’m bored, so you have to take responsibility and protect me. As my fiancée, it’s your duty."

I said it with a completely righteous expression.

Her eyes twitched.

"When did you become shameless as well?"

Amy added from the side,

"He’s always been like that. Didn’t you notice?"
