Chapter 269 Their trial

[Lucy's POV: ]

[You have obtained: 100,000 Oz.]

[You have obtained: (Sword of Judgement).]

[You have obtained: (Key of succession).]

[You have obtained: (Elixir of Fortune)*3.]

[You have obtained: (Silver treasure chest).]

[You have obtained: (Ring of power).]

"Damn! The ring of power~? It came out just like that~?"

El didn't even hesitate to just take away the Purple ring that had materialised before me along with the Silver-blue key, The silver treasure chest that we were already familiar with, and the attractive red sword that seemed to be made of some kind of red crystals.

There were three special looking vials of yellow liquid here as well but we knew this was a kind of potion that increased the Luck stat for a brief moment.

Something so rare that we weren't going to find this anytime soon in the future so she carefully stored the three away in her storage space.

"This is mine, right~?"

She wasn't interested in the sword of the key that would grant someone full access to the (Treasury) of Chiragya. She only wanted this one of a kind ring and, well, I had no use of something cursed like that thing.

"Give me a wish and it's yours."

"Half wish. You can earn the other half on your own, right?"

"That thing doesn't apply here. A full wish or I can just destroy the ring and have the core of it to myself. It will be useful when we upgrade our weapons later."

The wishes we dealt with were absolute powers so giving half of it wasn't something that we can just do on a whim. There were rules and regulations that she knew very well. She can't do the half wish thing here since the one in complete possession of the ring was me. It was my reward and if I want to, it would become mine forever.

"Tsk. You stingy bastard... alright. A wish. Fucking bastard."

I lost half a wish, but since I was lucky and got the item that usually only comes up after a few tries randomly, I got a complete wish in for it.

It was a profitable deal.

"Alright alright, fuck. Open the interface now. Show me what my Nessy is doing."

The sword was a great <A> rank artefact so I will obviously use this along with- oh, right.

"When will you give my sword back?"

"What sword?"

"The one you enchanted or something with Anna. You never gave it back to me."

"Hmm? I didn't? Damn. Sorry."

"Hmmm... everything aside, why is Lily and Leon together?"

"Hmmm?"

Everyone should have received individual tasks in their own designated areas that were chosen randomly.

This whole island was pretty large so chances of someone running into someone else was pretty low. So the fact that Lily and Leon were together right now, only meant the two of them had been together since the start of this challenge.

"Hmmm... oh, yes. They started together, lol. Did the system interpret their love and affection for one another as a possibility of a 'duo' or something?"

El checked the logs and confirmed the two of them had been together since the start and she then looked at all the things that had happened to them until now. Their task was a little vague as well.

They had to finish a maze-like place, an area of the inner shrine that was pretty difficult even for me. It was not a place they can pass just by defeating the creatures that came on their paths.

They had to be careful of traps, solve puzzles and even fight the stronger beings that would otherwise be difficult for them.

It was no easy task for either of them, but they were doing it together, and they were still fine so, it meant they were supporting each other pretty well.

"Kekeke, if they do this right, they will receive their engagement rings. Hahaha, what if he proposes to her right now, hahaha."

The reward waiting at the end of their personal trial was a special pair of ratings that are quite famous products all over the Worldline.

They are special and it will be theirs if they do complete that dangerous challenge.

"Nice nice. Even Oak and Lux are doing great."

They had received a learning task where they had to learn a certain skill of the first conqueror to pass the trail.

'Lord Chiragya was not a pure swordsman even though he had great sword skills. His main weapon was a bow and magic shaped like arrows that he used to obliterate all his opponents.'

His aim wasn't that good but he did not need to aim at the target to actually hit it.

He was a lucky person so, if he just fired the arrows and wished for it, there was a great chance he would his the target...

He did not like the fact that he had to rely on a curse though. So he developed his own techniques that are now considered special skills.

'Lux is a very talented marksman so his positioning {Auto Aim} skill was going to be a great help to her.'

And, though he was no wizard that can control natural phenomena, he was a being that had seen more aspects of life than any special human emperors had in their lifetimes.

He was cursed, however, on his path, he learned how to control the power of this curse, and the very reality that this curse was part of.

'He was able to escape his prison like eternal life by creating this gorgeous place with all his essence.'

It was only possible because he understood his own characteristic, his cursed luck, in its essence.

And the trial Oak was facing was teaching her the same. To control her own characteristic, her witch powers.

They were doing well, and since they will need a while before they could finish their tests, we had a few moments all to ourselves.

"The sunset will start now."

This garden was special for us for many reasons. This scenery of setting sun on the clear horizon dividing the realm of clouds and water, arguably being the most important of them.
