Chapter 551: Chapter 347 Rating: Unique (4K)_2
Catwoman might not be able to recover in these few days.
The cooperation with the Lord subtracted by one directly!
Glasses Man and the magicians, among others, were starting to doubt their lives.
Is this reasonable?
Each of them was a top talent among the Lords of their generation. During the newcomer trial period, they could at least rank in the top three of the regional gold list, or even first.
The combat power of their troops, especially the combat power of their officer units, was stronger than that of many veteran Lords.
Before they entered the Trial Secret Realm, they weren't nervous at all, thinking it was just a formality—a trial task to go through. Could it be that there are truly excellent Lords who can't even pass the promotion trial?
But now there truly was one, and it was themselves.
Considering the current situation, their trial this time was in danger, even though among the trialists there was the Golden Lion Prince, an ultra-top second-generation successor.
"Is this the horrid nature of historical trials?"
"Thank goodness it's just a trial, not reality."
Glasses Man murmured, which was also the reason he could still remain calm.
After all, it was just a trial.
If they truly traveled back to the old times, and faced the approaching filth and Monster Tide like the Pure White Kingdom, how despairing would that be?
Now, even if they failed, they wouldn't really die, and they could afford the entry fee of the trial.
To try again, as long as they entered a normal trial, Glasses Man and the magicians still had enough confidence.
They would still give it their all to attempt to navigate the trial, but if they failed… then let it be a failure.
They would regret it and lament their ill fate, but not be too resentful.
However, the Golden Lion Prince couldn't accept it; he would never give up.
"This is the only chance!"
He didn't care about the entry fee of 500 Soul Crystals; that bit of money wasn't even enough for his daily expenses for a meal or two.
But the opportunity to enter a historical trial might be the only one he ever had.
If he missed it, he could only go through the motions in a normal trial.
He couldn't accept failure, couldn't accept just being an inconspicuous titular prince.
This was his chance to change his fate! Even being selected for the historical trial indicated that destiny favored him, didn't it?
"To obtain the highest reward of a historical trial, first, one must rank first among the trial Lords, but just that is far from enough…"
After all, someone always takes first place.
The first among mediocrity is still a first.
"Besides, one must contribute beyond the mission objectives, or interchangeably, complete a 'hidden mission.' Only by combining the two can one receive the highest bounty from heaven and earth."
The Golden Lion Prince had access to a lot of information.
He thought frantically, judging based on various historical trial examples.
"The difficulty of this historical trial is unreasonable, so there must be a key point we're missing."
Their approach to the strategy was unlikely to be wrong.
He focused on the fact that 'the Pure White Kingdom was sealed.' To fulfill the hidden conditions for passing, they probably needed to find the key nodes of the sealing ceremony and call upon legends from the Pure White Kingdom to join forces and break the seal.
The Golden Lion Prince could even guess which several types of blood sacrifice methods the Monster power had used to enact the world's seal.
The chain of strategy wasn't the problem.
But they must, must, must have overlooked something.
Suddenly,
the Golden Lion Prince received a message he had informants placed in the emergency mission hall and several other intelligence sources, via special methods.
Informants he had brainwashed using special techniques.
Glasses Man had made similar arrangements.
Both of their expressions changed slightly, mixed with shock and joy.
"The momentum of the Monster Tide has been curbed, and it seems that many High-order Monsters have been annihilated, even Legendary Realm monsters seem to have fallen one or two? Hiss—"
"Looking at the situation, a mysterious strong person has made a move, could it be reinforcements from the Bright Empire?"
"I said, the trial couldn't be too outrageous. Now, this seems reasonable, but we advanced too swiftly in our strategy and suffered losses because of that. Regardless, passing the trial, perfectly passing it, now seems hopeful."
Observing the excited few, the Lord shrouded in huge silver armor faltered and didn't voice her conjecture.
She... she barely glimpsed through her officers, a scene where a blue-haired girl annihilated a Legendary Realm creature with the space breaking apart around her.
She felt that perhaps, possibly, probably… there was never any mysterious reinforcement, only an unreasonable trialist.
If the difficulty of this trial was adjusted based on their overall power, wouldn't their consistent struggles be reasonable?
...
In the depths of the wilderness, in a place where no human traces were left,
Mu Yuan and Dead Bone's group were walking within.
They managed to ambush and kill two Legendary Realm creatures using 'Mu Yuan Brand Bait,' but that was all they could do.
Legendary Monsters weren't fools who kept coming to their doom one after another.
The enemy didn't even plan to call for backup and swarm them; instead, they lurked, engaging in other schemes.
Mu Yuan could only strike out on his own.
Through ambushing enemies, Illusion Soul Search, and other ways, he employed simple yet extremely effective methods to quickly piece together fragmented intelligence.
After all, when it comes to intelligence, what could be simpler and more direct than reading it from the hands of the Legendary Realm monsters?
Mu Yuan loaded up the Duo Lai and Hong Yi templates, striking with Hong Yi's abilities.
This naturally wasn't enough.
But before him, the Legendary Realm was gasping for breath under the erosion of the Power of Withering. At his side, Dead Bone used 'King's Might' to shatter the Light of Will of the monstrous legend, dissolving the enemy's last resistance.
