Chapter 194 Black Myth Ruins (1)
Aleron was sleeping soundly, snoring while smiling, and radiating warmness. Enorin was snoozing on his chest, Yeuha and Ruan to his left in an embrace, while Liang and Mei were sleeping to his right. All of them were glossy and clean as washed by the purest and cleanest water, their bodies faintly glowing as filled with power.
The night was long as their passionate battle lasted for six hours, after which they finally fell asleep and their sleep lasted for eight hours.
Aleron's eyes opened first, feeling freshened and exultant like never before.
He got off the bed with a blink of a teleport and began his day.
The girls woke up one by one and got off as well, joining Aleron and others for combat activity.
All of them were pumping with energy and refreshed. Everyone practiced and trained intensely for hours without stopping, until only 4 hours were left before Aleron's Warlord Event began.
Aleron decided to take a nap to recover in prime condition before the event.
Time passed...
Black Myth Ruins — Begins in 15 minutes.
The details of the event were also disclosed now since an hour ago.
Aleron waved his hand and showed it to everyone as well, filling their curiosity because just like how Warlords could spectate their subordinates' events, the subordinates also had the privilege to observe their Warlord's events.
However, the details of this event were quite peculiar. This Event was also the only one that didn't change after Aleron's rank shot up and he understood why after reading this basic information panel of the event.
[Black Myth Ruins]
__Rank: X
__Participant Ratio: All Warlords.
__Type: Reality Cosmic Myth Ruins.
-Note to Warlords: This Event is of utmost importance to all Warlords as it grants unique power seeds of higher cosmos. Do your best.
"Well, it seems that we'll know the rules of this event after I enter," Aleron grinned, his eyes filled with anticipation. "I am quite excited for this."
The others also couldn't help but nod.
As they talked for a bit, 20 minutes passed by quickly and Aleron entered the portal to enter the event.
His subordinates' avatars also entered a special portal leading to the spectate hall to observe the event.
Soon, everyone saw their Warlords appearing in the same place yet at different locations.
All of them were inside a giant black lotus each.
Aleron also looked around and found the lotus quite interesting as it radiated a unique kind of energy. It was familiar, yet unique. 'This feels like a very strange Magilore energy that displayed these purple, golden, and sparkling brown patterns. Also, it feels like we are in a flower.'
[Gachapi: Indeed. It appears to be a lotus.]
'My Monitor Dome can't penetrate this lotus, it's tough. Welp, that's the power of cosmos will.'
'Interesting. So this ruin has four special things.'
Aleron walked around the castle to find a challenging spot or dangerous encounter. It was a huge castle with 10 floors and quite wide as well. His Monitor Dome was shrunk to the size of a mere 100 meters here, so he also couldn't observe everything, but the good thing was that he could inspect everything clearly within his Monitor Dome.
After a few minutes, he broke a door and entered a hall since he felt it was special.
[Challenge Spot: Black Blade Monkeys]
Aleron found himself inside a huge hall with ten monkey statues in front of him, each holding a sword. The monkeys were humanoid with great postures as if each displaying a sword technique.
As he stood before the statues, a countdown of 1 minute appeared along with some words.
[You have 1 minute to prepare before the ten Black Blade Monkeys unleash their techniques on you. Observe and find answers within this one minute to keep the Life points you lose to a minimum.]
[00:59]
[00:58]
'Interesting,' Aleron observed the monkeys, his eyes glinting as he inspected the monkey statues.
He could observe a trail of Magilore that connected all ten of them together, and also their movement and flow of technique as displayed in their postures.
Aleron's eyes shone as he could understand it, feeling amazed, 'This technique is amazing.'
'A technique that is only executed if ten people use its portion. It's power must be great.'
Aleron conjured a sword and held it tightly, narrowing his eyes as he stood in a sword stance, his hilt facing his eyes that focused on the ten monkey statues, his blade pointing at the statues.
'I will break it.'
Aleron's Magic Board conjured symbols as he began cooking a skill and before the 1 minute count down was over, Aleron created a sword skill.
Singular Severam—Savant-grade skill.
_Arcane attributes: Space, Time, Wind, Flame, String, Multiplication, Mirage.
_Body attributes: Vigor energy, Enchantment.
_Soul attributes: Astral Flow.
'Thanks for this idea,' Aleron grinned as he saw the monkeys coming to life, their swords glinting coldly before all of their figures blurred, their swords unleashing black ink-like slashes that conjoined like a whirling towards Aleron at once.
Aleron's eyes remained like calm water, his eyes dim with a glinting blue light at the depth.
'Severe away,' Aleron made a single slash, tearing off space that seamlessly turned into strings that adopted intensely hot temperature with sophisticated weaving of flame and wind. As those thin strings with ultimate searing power condensed into them spread open from his slash, their net-like formation entirely covered the incoming ten techniques executed by the monkeys.
Time flow slowed down terribly while those blade strings completely annihilated the incoming attack, resulting in mutual destruction.
[Congratulations. In the face of a powerful attack, you choose to meet it head-on with your attack instead of defending or avoiding it, and even successfully neutralizing it. You have gained a perfect score.]
[You have been rewarded with the 10 Mystery Box containing a random number of Ascension-rank resources.]
'Damn, this is a reward from an event usually, and I already got it now?' Aleron was dumbfounded but overjoyed.
