The armored figure wore an armor that was gold in color, vastly different from the dull grey that the previous ones wore.
This made him think there was something different about this golden figure.
’Could it be that it possesses consciousness?’
Davis shook his head and walked towards the golden armored figure with casual steps, copying the golden armored figure’s animated movement patterns.
Seemingly provoked, the golden armored figure swung the sword in its hand at Davis once it neared him.
’As expected, my guess turned out to be right...’
The battle aura unleashed by the sword traveled towards Davis bringing an astonishing amount of force with it, capable of destroying mountains filled with Earth Grade minerals and metals.
Davis clenched his fists, grasping the Scythe as he swung it forward, cutting the battle aura as it dissipated away.
*Boom!~*
Rushing forward with an explosive step, he instantly neared the golden armored figure and slashed.
The golden armored figure took a back step and dodged the slash which was aimed at its neck while retreating to the rear.
Davis didn’t allow the golden armored figure to take a breather but instead followed it by the end of its tail, slashing and slicing at it whenever he had the chance.
*Clang!~*
*Clang!~*
Sword and Scythe clashed, echoing throughout the wide mountain. The Scythe he used let out a crack but it held together, not breaking apart.
The golden armored figure was suppressed and it fell into a disadvantage by just continuously defending against Davis. Its arms trembled from the sheer quantity of attacks it received from all sides.
As Davis trained more with the Dark Crimson Scythe, the more he felt that he could manipulate the direction of the swing of this Peak-Level Earth Grade Scythe which he found before leaving the Loret Empire’s Royal Capital with the help of the intelligence department.
As he danced around it while slashing at it numerous times, it let the defensive golden armored figure fall into a quagmire, making it incapable of even using any techniques to evict itself from the disadvantage it had fallen to by itself.
’Closing in on me was the first mistake it had made...’ Davis mused as a smile lit up his face.
The Immortal Grade Immortal Inheritance was as good as in his hands right now!
Suddenly, its right leg flew away as it got severed by Davis’s Scythe. Davis saw it lose its balance as well as an opening created from the lack of battle awareness.
It was a crucial mistake on the golden armored figure’s part but the Scythe had a long reach compared to the sword it possessed.
With the Tyrant Physique, he could even rival some Low-Level Gold Stage Experts.
Considering his opponent was just a Low-Level Silver Stage Expert, Davis only admired since it managed to last half a minute under his strikes.
If it were any other Low-Level Silver Stage Expert, he figured that it would only be an instant before he severed the head of that expert.
Davis instantly pointed the Scythe above and swung it down as it towered over its head, severing its body into two. The severed body turned into a big speck of light as it disappeared into the void.
"Congratulations!! You have cleared the Immortal Grade Trial as well as the entire Inheritance!" The image of the Earth Dragon appeared as it trembled in excitement.
Davis blinked his eyes and the scenery changed in front of his view.
He was now in front of the so-called Treasury which he heard from Evelynn, the dimly lit cave.
The Earth Dragon’s image once again formed in front of him at such a close range.
Davis instantly felt quite intimidated as he felt its remnant soul force. It completely overwhelmed him. His nerves went taut but calmed himself down as well the rapid beating of his heart.
Wondering whether if it would do something to him, he heard the Earth Dragon speak in an excited yet husky voice.
"Trialist, what is your name?"
Davis froze! He didn’t think that the Earth Dragon would agree. He tried his best but he thought that it would eventually kick him out in the best-case scenario.
As for the worst-case he considered, he thought that it could’ve possibly killed him.
’Looks like this Earth Dragon Immortal is upright...’ Davis inwardly sighed in joy but still felt that it wasn’t enough since he has actually cleared the Immortal Grade Trial after all.
"Four times!" Davis argued back.
"Four times!? That’s not possible! The most I can give to a single trialist is three times..." The Earth Dragon narrowed its eyes.
"Alright, three times it is!" Davis was satisfied with the current situation even though he felt wronged but since he knew that he was essentially cheating with his transmigration, he felt content.
Besides, although he was not looking down on it, he felt that it was a miracle that a magical beast type existence engaged in negotiation with him.
Magical Beasts have high pride in their bloodline, especially dragons and the like or so he heard according to myths and legends.
He used this fact to his advantage and half-heartedly believed that he was able to manipulate it into giving more than the normal.
He thought it would have either settled him with Emperor Grade Trial rewards or ruthlessly killed him, but since it believed that it was unfair, it settled him with Emperor Grade Trial rewards.
So all he could was increase the amount that he could gain from it like a greedy merchant.
Davis headed forward once its image dissolved into the air. He followed the narrow path and arrived at the Sky Grade Treasury.
In front of him was that circular diagram but he ignored it once he heard its voice again.
"For the main rewards, head to the Emperor Grade Treasury after collecting nine Sky Grade Treasures from this place... And also don’t forget to collect nine King Grade Treasures after you enter the next area..."
Davis felt excited beyond control! Sky Grade Treasures! Okay, not quite tempting...
King Grade Treasures? Definitely tempting!!!
Then what of Emperor Grade Treasures!? Davis licked his lips as he was going to bed a woman who was right in front of him but his expression froze.
Once he realized he lost control of his greed, he quickly calmed down and proceeded to browse the treasury at his own leisurely pace.
Davis recalled Evelynn telling him about her gains after she came out of the trial.
"I gained three Sky Grade Treasures!"
Davis moved to his left for a little while before seeing an empty space in a formation. Below the formation was a description that described the treasure that was kept inside.
[
Gleaming Radiance Pill
A pill that enhances one’s soul force and even helps one to breakthrough to the Elder Soul Stage at the moment of breakthrough.
]
Davis smiled as he saw the description. He knew it was difficult to understand about the soul which had been why it had been difficult for the denizens of the Grand Sea Continent to experience a breakthrough in Soul Forging Cultivation, especially in the latter stages.
But now, Davis knew Old Man Garvin’s teachings, so he could easily teach people till Elder Soul Stage.
His understanding only reached the Mature Soul Stage, so he felt it wasn’t wise to teach them about it.
However, this pill in front of him that Evelynn had taken was a huge boon.
Sky Grade Pills that concerns the soul is quite the rarity in the Tripartite Alliance Territory, so it could be said that Evelynn had an eye for valuable treasures.
With his understanding of the Soul Forging Cultivation and her pill, he was absolutely sure that Evelynn would eventually arrive at the Elder Soul Stage in a few or dozen years.
He turned his head away from it and continued to browse as pondered on what items to take.
During his free browsing session, he coincidentally came within the other two treasures that Evelynn took away from this place.
