Chapter 424 A Drop Of Blood (1/2)

I decapitated my opponent with the slash and instead of falling down, the bust and head my opponent turned into the smoke before vanishing.

This battle had been really amazing not only I get to see my mistakes but I also got a chance to correct it and the fight even give me a few ideas about the new moves.

All three tests had improved my strength significantly and gave me confidence enough to say that if I consolidate my gains in a few days and improved one more time then passing the 3rd Guild challenge would be a breeze.

”Congratulations on passing the Third Test!” said the Etherial voice as I was busy with my thinking.

”And now it is time for your rewards.” said the ethereal voice and next moment everything in front of me changed and I found myself in completly different space.

It seemed to be big underground cavern and around be is hundreds of caves, these caves looked exactly the same except for one minor difference.

That these caves are sealed with white and Red film of energy, most of these caves were sealed with a film of white energy, only ten some caves are sealed with the Red energy and there is a circle of golden stars above my head, there are ten stars of which nine are lit while the tenth one is dimly lit than other's, If I am not wrong then this should be my score.

One more thing that made me pleasantly surprised that I am back into reality as I am wearing the same clothes I wore before entering that runic gate and I have all my gear on me and most importantly, I can feel my connection with Ashlyn.

Chew chew...

I was about to contact her when she came out of me suddenly and started to chirp at me loudly.

Asking why I was not responding to her and how she was worried about me, and how she wasn't able to come out no matter how much she tried, I was about to pacify her when the Etherial voice called out again.

”You have passed the three tests with a near-perfect score and now free to enter any cave of white energy layer to get your reward.”

”The rewards you will get will wholly depend on your luck and remeber you have only one chance to choose.” Said Etherial voice with a hit of a laugh.

Luck? Only one chance to choose? Is she shitting me, I have passed all three tests just to try my luck? But I forcefully calmed myself down and asked the question that I am most curious about.

”Can you tell me what type of reward in those caves and will I encounter an empty cave?” I asked, my biggest fear is if there are empty caves and I chose one of them.

I want to be mentally prepared if something like that is arranged by that powerhouse.

”There are no empty caves and every cave had a reward that will be useful to you.”

”As for what rewards there are, there are many like Occult Methods, Top Grade Inheritances, Duke Grade or above weapons and some other things,” Etherial voice said.

Hearing the list of Rewards, I am shocked. I had expected rewards to be great but never expected them to be this great, the maximum grade of reward I had expected is Lord grade but here all of the rewards are above lord grade.

Now the question is choosing the cave, which one should I choose. It would have been quite good if the rewards were displayed so I can see them and evaluate and then choose the best one for me but here everything is dependent on the luck, the reward I will get will depend on the cave that I enter.

There must be near three hundred caves here, except for twelve caves that are blocked by red energy film that is prohibited, I can enter any one of these three hundred caves, if my score had been a little bit higher then all the caves would have been opened for me.

Well, it didnt matters anymore and there are more than enough option for me to choose one from.

Chew Chew Chew…

I was just thinking of choosing the cave when Ashlyn's loud chirp disturbed me and when I looked to see, I found she is excitedly motioning her wing toward one cave.
