Chapter 88: Weird Behavior & Choice Trial

While Athan and Avelia were defeating the beast waves...

Inside the Black Whirlpool.

Tiana had a happy smile on her face as she said, " Thank you soooooo much mimi..."

Mimi giggled and said, " Hehe it\'s nothing. Guardian Brother will be surprised when he reaches Soul Altar Plane and see you. "

Tiana\'s appearance at this time looked very beautiful, Her hair turned into a shining black mixed with rose-red color and her skin also became more white and smooth as she had a mysterious aura surrounding her.

The most shocking thing was that behind her back were two red and black Angel-type wings that were made up of some kind of energy.

" Big sister, You can continue to practice this Technique which will be very helpful to you. Guardian brother will get a unique technique but he will have to wait until he reaches Soul Altar Plane. "

Tiana nodded with a smile as she retracted her wings before saying, " Let\'s see what Athan is doing currently. "

" Ok. Mimi also wants to know. "

After saying this, Mimi brought those clouds once again which showed the scene outside.

...

Athan and Avelia both had finished the 2nd wave of Beasts which were Grade 3 Origin Core beasts and were prepared to fight the 3rd wave that was already coming towards them.

This beast wave was filled with Grade 4 beast which didn\'t prove to be troublesome to Athan but Avelia encountered trouble so Athan went to help her after solving the beasts on his side.

He could defeat those beasts in one shot and Avelia could too but she ran out of her Space energy due to using it on Barrier and also using it in the previous two rounds so she had to use another type of Attacking spell which didn\'t guarantee a one-hit kill against these Grade 4 beasts and the survived beasts would use deadly attack while not caring about their life on Avelia which troubled her.

But after Athan arrived, He dashed here and there with Combusting burst steps and released a few Impact shots to defeat the remaining beasts fast.

And right after that last beast was defeated, A loud cry echoed from the sky as a huge flaming bird descended right at where the villages were gathered.

The Myriad Prison of Light Element was easily melted when the bird arrived near it.

" Shit! " Athan cursed under his breath as he dashed towards the bird through the air.

Avelia, who was dumbfounded by Athan\'s action on how he easily defeated the beasts on her side also snapped out of her daze and looked towards the flying beast.

Although Athan was fast, The Flaming Winged beast was also fast as it released a powerful Fire Attack towards the Barrier created by Avelia.

*BOOOMM...*

*shsssss.....ZOOOOM*

The attack hit the barrier but it withstood the attack and released a powerful shockwave that actually pushed the beast back while damaging it.

Athan also arrived at this time and released water Impact shots from both of his hands towards the giant flaming flying beast.

*Screeeeeee

After a cry, The beast turned into white light.

[ Congratulations You have finished your First Task ]

- Reward----> Athan: 50 Credits, Avelia: 50 Credits.

...

Both of them were transported to their temporary dorm after that.

Tiana and Mimi watched everything that happened.

Tiana muttered softly, " That girl is so beautiful...."

Mimi looked at Tiana and said cheerfully, " Hehe Big sister, You might not have been as beautiful as her previously but right now you are even more beautiful than her. "

" Mmm...." Tiana nodded but had a worried look as she thought, \' But I won\'t be with Athan until he reaches Soul Altar plane so he won\'t be able to gather white-gold energy anymore. I...I don\'t mind if he has more wives as long as he still loves me. Sigh, Athan is charming and strong so he\'d obviously attract females. \'

...

After Athan arrived at the dorm, He felt that Avelia\'s gaze was a bit weird.

She kept staring at Athan as if wanting to say something but still having some doubts.

She looked at Athan and said while moving her eyes nervously, " Y-you...how old are you? "

Athan was confused about her behavior but still answered her plainly, " 18. "

Just then another Task prompt appeared in front of them.

[ A new Task has been assigned. ]

- Complete This Choice Trial in 4 hours.

- Reward: ?? ( Depends on the performance )

...

Athan didn\'t hesitate and pressed [ Start ] and Avelica seemed like wanting to say something...

\' Hmmm...Nevermind I\'ll confirm once again before taking that step. \'

After thinking this, She also pressed [ Start ] as both of them arrived at some kind of underground chamber that only had one door.

Tiana could also see Avelia and she also found her gaze a bit peculiar.

...

In the underground chamber, Athan and Avelia walked through the door, and after exiting from that door, They arrived in a medium-sized hall that had 4 doors.

After looking at those doors, Athan thought for a second before saying to Avelia, " We might be able to finish this faster if we split up. "

" This..." Avelia obviously didn\'t want to separate as she had an important thing to check but in the end, she gave up and nodded after looking at Athan with an unwilling expression.

\' What\'s wrong with her? She\'s been behaving strangely. \' Athan thought about it but he shook his head and entered the first door.

Seeing that Athan entered the first door, Avelia made a pout before entering the 2nd door.

...

After Athan entered the first door, He actually encountered a group of wolves that numbered 8 and were all in Grade-2 Origin core stage.

He swiftly finished them and after they turned into white light, eight small wisps of white flame remained which gathered towards Athan.

After gathering, They turned into an Arrow which pointed in the left direction.

In this small hall, There were two doors, One was situated on Athan\'s left side while another was situated on Athan\'s right side.

" This arrow is pointing at the left side but is it really the correct direction? "

After mulling over it for a bit, He didn\'t choose to follow the Arrow and entered the door on the right side.

...

The situation of Avelia was a bit different, She didn\'t encounter any beasts but only two doors. She also thought for a few seconds before entering the door on her left side.

After entering through the door she chose, She arrived in a large hall that had eight doors.

All of the doors had different designs and had words written on top of them.

Fire, Water, Earth, Metal, Wood, Lightning, Dark, Light.

Avelia started to mull over the choices while Athan encountered another group of beasts.

*Rawrrrrrrrr...*

He encountered 6 Magma bulls that were in the Grade 3 Origin Core stage.

But Athan defeated them easily as well and once again Arrow formed from white flames appeared that pointed at 3 o\'clock direction.

This hall had five doors and this time, Athan decided to follow the Arrow\'s direction and entered through the door pointed by it.

Right after he entered the door, He heard a voice.

[ Bonus Stage, Defeat the Amethyst Tiger in 1 minute. ]

*HOWWLLLLL*

The Tiger appeared out of nowhere as it howled towards Athan who just stood in front of it.

The Amethyst Tiger was a Grade-5 Origin core beast.

Athan didn\'t wait for the beasts to attack as he directly released an Impact Shot of Lightning Energy.

The Impact Shot was augmented with Space Ripple as it directly hit the forehead of the tiger before it turned into white light.

[ S Grade Performance- 50 Credits Granted ]

His Lightning Intent has also reached Advanced Level so the Impact Shot of Lightning Energy was also powerful enough to defeat the beasts of Grade-6 easily let alone Grade-5.

But after this Tiger turned into white light, There wasn\'t any white flame this time and this hall had 3 doors.

" Looks like I\'ll have to choose the door myself this time. "

After muttering this, He simply walked ahead and entered through the door that was in the front direction.

But after he entered...

*Splashhh....*

He didn\'t find a foothold and fell down into a water body.

*gululu...*

Several sounds could be heard as four shark-like water beasts appeared with fast speed while opening their jaws as they dashed towards Athan.

These Shark-like creatures had shining blade skin and a horn on top of their heads that shined with dark blue color.

Before they arrived near Athan, A beam of dark blue color mixed with lightning energy shot towards Athan.

He hurriedly put Blood Threading Barrier around him which successfully blocked the attacks but showed signs of cracking.

\' Damn I should have Mastered the Advanced stage of Blood Threading Method too. \' While thinking this, He used combusting burst steps while still in the water and propelled himself upward.

Before the sharks could catch up to him, He successfully left the water body that seemed to be a pond and floated in the sky.

" Four Grade-5 Aquatic beasts...It\'s more powerful than the bonus stage...Looks like difficulty went up a notch. "

Athan snorted while looking at those shark-like beasts and started to form Impact Point of Fire energy.

He didn\'t make too many layers but just two and shot it towards the pond.

When he was in Energy Plane, He needed some time to form Impact Point but after entering Origin Intent Plane and Mastering the Peak stage of Broken Impact Flowing Method, He could use these powerful spells easily and even change Active Flowing Energy faster. Especially Fire, Water, and Lightning Energy as he had comprehended Advanced Level intent of them.

The two layers of Impact Point shot into the pond before bursting in a loud boom.

*BOOOOOOMMMM!!!*

The entire pond was evaporated along with the four aquatic grade-5 beasts.

But right after that, He heard a sound.

[ You were supposed to stay together from the start, But since you separated then prepare for the consequences. ]

[ Save your Partner in 20 minutes. ]

[ Failing to save your partner in 20 minutes will result in failing this task. ]
