The smoke of a fire can be seen next to a big boulder in the dead of night, amid a wasteland filled with dried grass and decaying trees, with two individuals sitting on top of the boulder clutching longbows, peering around as they kept watch. while four others sat in front of the campfire. *tk* *wood is engulfed with flames* *tk* "We've been here for 5 days and still haven't found what you're searching for," grumbled a middle-aged guy as he tossed a chopped piece of wood into the fire. He was dressed in golden armor with tree-like patterns and four daggers strapped to his back; his blonde hair was neatly done into a ponytail, and he had a big scar over his nose and serious green eyes that reflected the campfire, it was clear that this man had been through many battles. "Patience is key. General Alric, we're getting closer every day; I estimate it's about 2 days east of here, and we should be there without any issues "The wrinkles o

On the ground, he was surrounded by a plethora of large plants and flora that took on bizarre shapes and colors.     He was thinking about the rewards and evolution quest as he was satisfied with the ridiculous number of souls obtained from the ghoul's heart.   " I can't believe it, I literally just got over 124 thousand souls by consuming that heart... whatever that power I summoned is, it's very powerful, I should find more abou..." His thoughts were disrupted when he noticed something emerging from a nearby tree trunk. whatever the hell this thing was Siphex sensed its potency

*jump*         *jump*     A silhouette of someone can be seen running and leaping from one tree to another in a forest where giant trees and plants are clustered together.         "I'm a light and fast boiii."     Siphex was astounded by his new body upgrade as he landed from a great height with no injuries. He felt a lot lighter and faster. "I'm not sure if this body is just this strong. Or maybe it's just that my stats are all maxed out. In any case, i was disappointed at first but now, I'm grateful to whoever provided me with all of the stats. This is so good." He said this while looking at his metallic sharp hand and then at a tree in front of him.     "60 strength, I wonder if..." Siphex said as he dashed at the tree and punched it with all his might.

The sun was high in the sky, sending rays through the clouds. In the quiet wasteland, many rocky boulders were strewn about. a group of people were walking faster together, glancing around as if they were being cautious.   They haven't gotten any sleep in two days. The sage and the squad of 6, consisting of two archers, muck, El'minor, Alric, and the sage, began pursuing the source of energy the next day after resting at the previous campfire. They were unexpectedly ambushed and attacked by high-tier inflicted. And the closer they approached to the source, the more they sensed its intensity, and the more they were assailed by more and more inflicted   As he looked about at everyone, the sage remarked, " It's here, the source is right around that hill, i suggest Before going in and approaching the source, we need to find somewhere safe to rest.

it's been a long while Since Siphex and Toruk left the camp walking. Siphex was delighted that for once he had someone with him who could aid him with his boredom as they passed through the same quiet forest.   " So, you're toruk, right?" "Would you mind telling me more about how you ended yourself here?" As he walked behind Toruk, staring at the trees, Siphex inquired.   " I've already told you, demon, about the mor en. I was a mercenary who ended up here by accident. Toruk answered, "I don't understand why a demon would care about my past," as he continued trudging through the bushes, occasionally using his battleaxe to clear the route.     " As you can see, I've lost part of my memories, so I'm wondering as to how you came to be here. "And why are you and others as you claimed are so eager to complete this trial?" siphex enquired     This is the first time when Siphex ask
