Chapter 48 - Logically Dashing Forwards (2/2)
In an instant, the green jade hall that only spanned 50 meters in radius, expanded towards a single direction as it gradually became a long corridor that Aurus couldn't see the end of.
He looked at the hall for a bit and noticed that there were no obstacles whatsoever. Aurus thought that it would take a while for the obstacles to appear so he waited a few more minutes...only for it to be futile.
”The Speed trial begins! 24 hours are now counting down.”
Hearing this announcement, Aurus activated his movement skill as he couldn't help but mutter to himself, ”All that preparation I did was for naught?”
”Are you fucking kidding me?”
...
In another green jade hall.
”Reward has been rolled. The passive skill [Blessing of the Tetraelemental Tempest] has been obtained.”
After hearing this statement, Herellia knew instantly that this skill was something extremely great from the name alone.
Not long after, a special sound could be heard throughout the green jade hall.
Normally, it would only be heard when Aurus had a skill leveling up or doing something related to the system. But in this case...
Ding!
'The skill [Blessing of the Tetraelemental Tempest] has been obtained.'
'[Blessing of the Tetraelemental Tempest] has shown great compability with the user's [Tempest Affinity] skill.'
'A new skill has been formed. [Tetraelemental Tempest Affinity] has been created.'
The sound resounded throughout Herellia's hall as well.
Not long after, a holographic and semitransparent screen that was the same as Aurus' screens, appeared in front of Herellia's field of vision.
”Oh? Two skills in one go?” Herellia couldn't help but smile inwardly as she felt that the trial was definitely a blessing in disguise. While smiling at the gains she got, she remembered that she planned to leave the trial once this trial was done.
Only for that decision to change.
”You know what? I'll just apologize to Aurus once I'm done with this trial,” Herellia let out a cheerful aura as she prepared for the next trial she would have to face.
...
Within the Tempest Ruin.
A few hours have passed since Artan and Mira reached the place where they saw the red dot blink, sparing all of this time to train their wind-related skills inside this place where the wind was extremely concentrated.
Letting out soft huffs every once in a while, Mira, who was practicing her wind elemental spells, couldn't help but look at Artan who was consistently swinging his axe up and down at a steady pace.
”Hey, it's already around 4 in the afternoon? Don't you think we should head back and tell Dane about the Spiritas' disappearance?” Mira couldn't help but ask.
Hearing her question, Artan brought his axe down and brought out the crystal Dane gave to him from his pocket. Noticing that there was still no red dot inside the crystal, Artan couldn't help but let out a sigh as he nodded and placed the axe on his back.
”Yeah, I think it's time to tell him. You better help me out on explaining this, okay Mira?”
”Hehe. Only if you pay me a few gold coins.”
”Tch. Miser.”
As they cracked a few jokes in the middle of their journey back to the Seraph Kingdom, Artan and Mira didn't know that...the red dot was still there.
It was still at the tip of the crystal.
Only covered by Artan's finger when he looked at it.
