Chapter 1692 First Trial Rankings

-----

(Drake's POV)

After Pandemonium's defeat, we finally had some time to take a rest. The Monster Waves kept coming though, but we dealt with that fairly more easily than with that bastard's endless army of demons. Surtr told me I could kill them all with my party if I wanted, to make sure I had the highest score, but I decided to just split the earnings to make things fair. I didn't want to stop him from growing stronger just because of my own selfishness.

I wanted something from this Trial, and I was going to get on my own terms. Eventually, as the hours went by, the day-long trial finished with the last Monster Wave and the two territories standing.

Messages made of flames and colorful fireworks appeared above the sky, celebrating the victory.

[Congratulations on completing the First Trial!]

[You have reached the end of the Trial without suffering any casualty, you gained a bonus of +50.000 Score Points.]

[You have destroyed one Territory while in the trial, you gained +50.000 Score Points.]

[The Other Territory, belonging to the Participant Surt, has also passed the Trial successfully.]

The ten minutes finally passed, and as little Drakda woke up from his nap over my legs, we were instantly teleported elsewhere. I held Drakda on my arms so he wouldn't fall on the ground, and we suddenly appeared in the middle of a large hall.

It seemed like the interior of a huge, old temple made of red stone, it was lightly illuminated with yellow crystals on top of the ceiling, and there were many paintings across the walls, depicting giant fiery beasts and a titan of flames commanding them, while smaller red people surrounded him, kneeling before his power.

Could this be a painting of the Flame Venerable?

But what are those beasts?

Suddenly, I noticed a larger beast amidst the paintings, a giant, purple and black scaled dragon-like monstrosity, it resembled a lot the Ragnarök Fragment we fought before.

So that was something he had to fight, huh? Well, makes sense, seeing how he was able to seal it away.

"We're finally somewhere else, I was so bored of the desert!" sighed Yuki in relief. "But what's this place anyways?"

"Looks like some sort of old, abandoned temple," said Pekora.

"Oh, there's couches here!" Tisha ran to sit down, resting and throwing away her boots. "Ahh, I needed this..."

There were indeed a lot of couches neatly arranged in this area, alongside several wooden and stone tables with drinks to pick from, and even piles of fresh fruits.

"Looks like this place is really for us to rest!" said Hector.

"Oh, there's a passage over there..." Kraxka said.

"Papa, there are other rooms over there!" said Benladra, pointing at the distance.

"Is that so? Okay, let's explore the place then," I nodded.

We moved around, exploring the area. We found out it was a very large, enclosed temple, the living room was huge and where all the couches, books, fruits, and drinks were.

There were also ten other rooms, with five large beds each. And then there was a huge kitchen full of fresh ingredients and everything needed to cook them.

And lastly, a large, shared bath, separated by two for males and females, and then several personal bathrooms in each room.

It was oddly comfortable and cozy...
