Chapter 1836 Reward

Chapter 1836 Reward

[You have destroyed the Celestial Guardian]

[Your current points are: 243 (1,258)]

Participating in the destruction of the guardian rewarded Emery with a substantial boost in points, particularly considering his top-ranking position. The exhilarating kill confirmation resounded through the chamber, and it wasn't just Emery who benefited from this achievement. As the life left the celestial guardian, hundreds of celestial shards were released, scattering in all directions. One of them was drawn magnetically to Emery, and he expertly caught it in his grasp. Additionally, he acquired five medium soul shards, rare and highly valuable items comparable to those found in celestial temples. Recognizing the precious nature of these artifacts, Emery swiftly concealed them within his spatial storage.

With the spoils secured, Emery noticed a significant change in the chamber. The vault began to tremble, and the floor in the center of the room started to split open. Accompanied by this transformation came a critical notification,

[The second-floor Celestial ruins are open]

Emery's sharp eyes caught the gaze of the female high priestess, Loriel Starwind. Her lingering glance seemed to carry a message before she led the elves toward the newly revealed gate, and they disappeared into the depths of the second floor.

As Emery was about to join the Nephilim group, a squad of elves swiftly approached him. These were the entire contingent of dark elves from the group, totaling 40 individuals. The frosty glares they directed at him left no doubt that they recognized his past.

Their leader, a dark elf with short crimson hair, stepped forward and spoke, his words laced with an eerie menace, "You are him... the half-blood who managed to escape Demon's Pit." n)-Ovelb1n

Emery's response was nonchalant, "Yes, I escaped... I killed... and I also embarrassed the warden. I've done it all."

A sly smile played on the lips of the dark elf leader as he retorted, "Funny human... I wish to claim your grinning head as a trophy to bring back home."

However, as Jinkan and her group approached, Emery calmly suggested, "I truly believe... you should run now before your masters go too far. Or you can stay here and face a beating like a dog."

Amusement twinkled in the dark elf's eyes, and with a casual air, he and his fellow dark elves decided to depart and dive into the second layer.

Despite the temptation to eliminate a potential threat, Emery was well aware of the delicate balance maintained between humans and elves in this expedition. The two races might have been capable of navigating the ruins on their own, but they relied on the agreement to ensure their collaborative success. The consequences of upsetting that equilibrium were a complete failure of the expedition.

As for Emery, he held in his hand a total of six celestial shards, each brimming with the promise of new insights into the profound mysteries of the law of light. He couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation and curiosity, wondering just how much his understanding would expand through this intricate process.

Author's Note:

Dear readers,

There will be another chapter published before the end of the month, but as it might be late, I decided to write my monthly note here.

With the conclusion of this chapter, the month of October draws to a close. I trust that the chapters have met your expectations and brought you enjoyment.

I apologize for the reduction in releases at the end of the month. This was due to the extra time needed for the new Arc for both EGM and RAG.

Managing two stories daily still poses a challenge for me, hence I am grateful for your patience.

For this month, I managed to write a total of:

October: 40 EGM chapters + 47 RAG chapters

Apparently, three chapters a day is still my limit. But I really hope I can do more for the next month.
