363 Reward (2/2)

*Boom!* *Boom!*

Raven flew across the room with his hammer on hand. Arms made out of silver were constantly hitting the 50 meter tall beast and shaving away some of its stony flesh in the process, causing rocks to fly everywhere.

The Little Stone Giant hadn't even touched the hem of his clothes at all. Raven was too nimble and his attacks were too strong for the stone giant to handle. Each strike he landed causes the stone giant to fall on its knees.

Raven dealt with the stone giant with relative ease. This is a Tier 5 Demonic Beast yet he was able to toy it to death. All of this thanks to his vast knowledge about demonic beasts in general. He allotted a portion of his previous life on studying them thoroughly so that he'll know how to deal with them. And now his efforts are being handsomely rewarded.

Of course, even if Raven isn't knowledgeable about beasts, with his strength alone he could still do the same thing.

It didn't take much until the Little Stone Giant was finally defeated. Raven delivered a fatal blow that crushed its delicate core, making crumble with the loss of its heart.

Once it's done, Raven released a long exhale and started walking towards the altar of the 3rd floor. As soon as he approached the altar, he could already make up the words written on it's surface.

”3rd Floor, 10 Trial Complete. Rewards: Ancient Art. You may now choose to proceed with the next floor or make your exit.”

”Oh? I get an Ancient Art this time? Neat.”

Each time one clears a floor, there will be a reward given. Upon his completion of the first floor, he received some cultivation boost, allowing him to enter Mid-Stage Golden Knight Realm. On the second floor, he received a life-saving talisman that he might never use. And this time, it looks like he's going to receive an Ancient Art.

He placed his hand on the ritual circle and a book manifested out of nowhere. He carefully picked it up, sat on the floor and began reading its contents. There's no need to hurry since there are no time limits whenever he's not on trial anyway.

As soon as he read the name of the Ancient Art, a frown immediately surfaced on his face.

”9 Destruction Steps? Wait a damn minute…”

Raven then placed his whole focus on reading the book, and the more he read about its contents, the more he was convinced.

”It really is what I thought it was!” Raven exclaimed, unable to peel his eyes away from the Ancient Art. ”A technique inspired by Destruction Laws! What a find!”

Raven felt an immense glee after realizing what he just got from the Sun Temple. Of all things that he was expecting to receive, this was the last thing that he was thinking of, not because he didn't want it, but because he just thought that it was nigh impossible for this temple to have this.

He had seen the reward list of the Sun Temple once, and he knew that one could receive an Ancient Art by going through the trials, what he didn't know is that the Ancient Art was actually fashioned for Destruction Law users.

It's been many years since Raven had been baptized by Destruction Laws, however due to it being a rare law, he had little information about its application nor knew any kind of technique fashioned for it.

His applications are brought by improvisation and enlightenments. The most he could do with Destruction Laws is applying to his attacks through a crude manner. The most advance application he knew is through the 'Fault Signs' and that's about it. Which is why his progress had been slowing down even more.

He wanted to ask Astrid if she could teach him some Ancient Arts but he hadn't been able to contact her ever since.

Raven always thought that he'll just pick up the pace when he ascend in the Divine Realm, he was sure that there are some techniques out there that he could learn to improve, but he wasn't expecting to receive one here.

That being said, this also raises a few questions in his mind…

”How in the world did the Divine Sun Sect got a hold of this? Did they have a disciple that receive baptism from Destruction Laws as well?”

Raven had more questions in his mind which pre-occupied him for a bit, but before he got immersed from his thoughts, he shook his head and threw these useless thoughts away.

”It's useless to think about those things, I must instead focus on learning this technique.”

And thus, Raven spent some time reading and practicing the Ancient Art before moving towards the 4th floor.
