Chapter 252 The Final Trial


Three years had passed since the great battle at the Valbarra Archipelago...

The sound of hurried footsteps echoed across the forest floor.

"We can't hold on much longer!" a teenage boy shouted. "All of you, run away!" Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

"Don't be stupid! How can we leave you behind?!" A teenage girl raised her hand to summon a Rank 2 Forest Wolf, helping the boy face off against the Rank 4 Alpha Bear that had suddenly ambushed their group from the rear.

The Forest Wolf tried to get the Bear's attention and even succeeded in doing so. However, it miscalculated the Bear's strength and speed and suffered a serious injury after being swept away by its sharp claws.

"Run!" the boy shouted as he grabbed the girl's hand, pulling her as he dashed.

Two of their members had already died from the Bear's sneak attack, leaving only the two of them behind.

The Forest Wolf tried to block the Bear's path, but it was of no use.

The Alpha Monster easily grabbed the Wolf's head and crushed it effortlessly, making the Avatar turn into particles of light.

Once an Avatar died in battle, its death was permanent, never to rise again.

But, it was still able to give the two teenagers half a minute head start to flee the Bear, who was now charging at them from behind.

'We can't outrun it,' the teenage boy thought as he heard the Bear's roars coming from behind him.

As a last desperate effort to protect his party member, he grabbed her body and used his back to shield her from the incoming blow.

But at that exact moment, a blur flew past him.

When the boy saw the fluttering blonde hair that only lasted for a few seconds, he suddenly felt hope bloom in his heart.

The teenage girl with long blonde hair threw a pouch at the bear's head, making it explode.

A red dust emerged from it, making the Rank 4 Alpha Monster roar in pain as finely sliced, dried red chili peppers exploded on its face.

"Run!" the blonde girl shouted, urging the two teenagers to run away.

The two, who had been given a second chance at life, didn't hesitate to follow her orders to run away.

The blonde-haired girl glanced at the Alpha Bear before she, too, ran away.

She didn't hesitate to escape, knowing that this was a monster far too powerful for her to face alone.

Suddenly, a loud roar spread in the forest as the Bear's brown fur suddenly changed to red.

Although it was still having a hard time opening its eyes, it made a mad dash toward the fleeing girl, who had challenged its pride and dignity.

The Bear's strength and speed increased drastically, so even if the teenage girl zigzagged through the trees in order to create an obstacle for the bear, it was of no use.

The Bear simply smashed through these trees, destroying them like a juggernaut.

She glanced behind her to look at the Bear that had gone berserk. Because of that, she didn't notice the tree root in front of her, tripping her as she ran.

The Alpha Monster, whose vision had gradually cleared, raised its paws in order to crush the Human in front of it.

Just as its claws were about to land on the girl's body, something big grabbed it from behind and pulled it away.

The girl's eyes widened in shock when she saw a Giant Skunk-like monster slam the Bear's body on the ground as if it was a wrestler.

Shasha didn't reject her brother's gift and accepted it happily.

"Don't consume it right now," Thirteen said. "We might find a Rank 5 Monster, which will be several times better than this.

Shasha nodded in understanding, knowing that absorbing a Rank 5 Core was most ideal before breaking through the Rookie Rank.

"I don't have a place to store this Core," Shasha replied. "Hold it for me for the time being, Zion."

"Okay," Thirteen didn't hesitate to store the Core inside his storage before holding his sister's hand.

"Tell me your current situation as well as the mission that was given to you here in Solterra," Thirteen said with a solemn expression on his face.

Just like what he did with Cristopher, he would send her sister back safely to Pangea regardless of the difficulty of the mission she currently had.

Shasha had full trust in her little brother. In her heart, he was someone she respected and looked up to.

After hearing what his sister's mission was, Thirteen remained calm.

But deep inside, he felt a bit worried since Shasha's mission was quite vague.

'I guess I need to know more about her current situation,' Thirteen thought. 'Maybe that will give me a clue about how to complete her mission.'

At the same time that his sister had finished saying what her mission was, the ten-year-old heard a notification inside his head, prompting him to open his status page.

Unlike the time when he was with Cristopher and the others, he didn't receive the same mission that Shasha possessed.

This only meant one thing.

'Since the rewards are quite good, I guess this is going to be another difficult mission,' Thirteen thought.

Instead of being happy, he was genuinely concerned because his mission gave him anxiety.

It was the same anxiety he felt when his Hosts were about to meet their end in the hands of people and beings who did not wish for them to exist.
