The group arrived back in the city, panting. The girls were still in shock as they didn't expect the monster to be of that high level and also felt a relief wash over him. They didn't try to enter the forest recklessly, otherwise their lives would've been forfeited. "Sorry about that." Neo said as their drained, and panting face came to his vision. He just compromised their safety, but he also didn't expect the boss monster to be a centipede. Elethra didn't mention that. {And she sent the flappy bird to help.} Neo saw Myra shaking her head and saying, "No, we also needed to see that. It helped us to keep our feet on ground." Mira nodded too, as she felt she had gotten an awakening call. She felt complacent that she was a 1st rank evolver but seeing that huge centipede made her know how small that achievement was. Just then, she felt a hand on her head that ruffled her hair. "Don't beat yourself too hard, that was just bad luck," Blaze said as he nodded toward Myra and walked tow
Neo was surprised as he looked toward her, not expecting such words from her. Elethra also felt a little strange as those words came out involuntarily. "Golden and black lightning are present up there and even with complete immunity, they'll tear you apart." Elethra pointed toward the sky as she said that, Neo looked up and saw the thunderclouds that rumbled as if responding to Elethra. He looked up for a while before turning toward Elethra and smiling. "I still have to go and get it." Elethra felt a little distressed and tried persuading him out of this as she knew the danger of the Golden and Black lightning, but Neo didn't budge as this was his class quest, and he had to complete it to evolve. Elethra thought for a moment and sighed as she said, "Wait for me." As she left the room, Neo played with Psyche as it circled around him and Bolt, who jumped to catch her, but she always flew up when he tried. A harmonious scene was played with Nebulae standing there as a guard. Neo t
Neo penetrated the clouds and appeared above the clouds. He found more clouds above him and the white lightning slowly started changing color as he moved up. The clouds above seemed to churn and swirl with otherworldly energy, crackling and rumbling with the power of the tempest. Bolts of lightning streaked across the vast expanse, branching and intertwining in mesmerizing patterns. Each discharge carried a unique hue. Neo flew above the place where the Twilight and Storm forest met, as this was the place where Golden and Black lightning were, according to Elethra. As Neo soared through the storm-filled skies, his wings unfurled with grace and purpose. They were not mere appendages to be flapped, but extensions of his will and lightning that coursed through them. With a subtle adjustment of his body and a shift of his consciousness, the wings responded, slicing through the air effortlessly. Rather than traditional flapping, the wings moved in a fluid motion, like the ebb and flow
He covered himself with his wings and gulped it down before again starting the excruciating process of getting zapped by the golden and black lightning. {Damn you. Who made such a masochistic evolution quest?} This process went on for 5 hours and Blaze felt every cell of his body filled with black and golden lightning, fighting for supremacy and destroying it in the process. His blood and marrow, everything was getting incinerated by the lightning, and he even wondered how he was even alive as his consciousness was hanging by a thread like his wings that were literally incinerated as only a body structure was left behind because of every feather getting destroyed by the lightning. {It just let me come to a conclusion that those feathers are not the ones that are keeping me afloat, but the structure itself is helping me in doing that.} "W-why am I s-still thinking about t-that?" Neo said as he gritted his teeth as he kept a hold over his consciousness, waiting for the bars to fill
Neo wanted to ask if that was true but scraped the idea as he didn't want to be a wall decoration again. "Come." Elethra walked into the living room, telling Neo to follow along, which he did, and found tea and a couple of snacks waiting for him. He sat down and took the tea, but Elethra looked at him with a strange look. Neo was puzzled but then looked at her, looking at his body, and realized that he was still half naked. He scratched his head awkwardly as he stood up and took out a shirt, but Elethra waved her hand and a complete dress appeared before him. It had a long trench coat, a turtleneck, a vest, pants, a pair of sturdy boots, and a matching belt. The turtleneck shirt was made of a soft and breathable fabric in a deep shade of charcoal gray. It fit snugly around Neo's neck, providing comfort and warmth. The shirt added a touch of elegance to his overall appearance. The vest complemented the turtleneck shirt perfectly. It was crafted from a rich, dark leather material w
Elethra looked at him as he waited for her answer. This wait lasted for a long time, but Neo was pretty patient as he was done with everything and the only thing left now was to grant her desire. "Tranquility." "Eh?" 『 Elethra Stormweaver has desired for Tranquility.』 『-300 attributes points from all stats.』 『 Insufficient attributes, Using Chaos points.』 『 -50 Chaos Points.』 『 The Desire has been granted.』 『 Personal Desires: Curiosity.』 『 Fulfilled Desires: Freedom, Tranquility.』 『 Secondary Collection: 72nd.』 Blaze went through all the notifications and felt like cursing the skill to take this much, but he didn't say anything as these points were something he could fill in anytime, and he had a small hill worth of attributes points. His attention was on Elethra, who had her eyes closed, but the aura that was being released from her was anything ordinary. It was like he was "looking" at the raging ocean that wanted to drown the entire world with its gigantic waves. But E
George nodded as he walked closer to Blaze, but stopped as he heard Blaze saying, "Don't worry about that. I really am blind." His words, full of confidence, stunned many nobles, but then they felt that the heavens were helping them as getting that gold became stealing a candy from a child now. "Excuse me, sir, I have a bank in this city. I can help you hold on to your wealth and ensure that it'll be completely safe and in expert hands." "Nonsense. Putting all the money in the bank is narrow-minded thinking. Young man, I own many businesses in this city and the Sky-world. You can invest in them and earn quite a hefty profit." Blaze could see them bickering, but his attention was on the aura that was radiating from them. It was yellow. He didn't know what it represented. He put these thoughts away for now and asked, "Where is the city lord? I would like to have the city lord to preside over my case." When the nobles heard him say that, their visage changed and their kind and warm
『 Evaluating.』 『 Evaluation complete.』 『 Team based Trial.』 『 Trial Realm: The Stormcaller Domain.』 『 Evaluating…』 『 Final grade: A+』 『 Received: Key Fragment.』 『 Received: 5 Skill points.』 『 Received: 100 Chaos points.』(Red) 『 Received: Advanced Machinery Knowledge.』 『 Received: Advanced Weapon Manufacturing Knowledge.』 『 Divine Energy +15,000.』 『 Nether Energy +15,000.』 "I expected the final grade to be higher." Blaze said as he looked at the texts before him, but then the final score he made was of A+ grade, so it should have been in his expectation. {Still disappointing.} Neo turned toward Myra and Mira to see their expression, and they had the opposite of Blaze, surprise and happiness. Myra expected their final grade to be higher, but didn't expect it to be this high. "What happened?" Blaze asked as he felt that being this much happy over A+ grade was strange. " A+" Mira mumbled like a zombie as she looked at the rank and the rewards she got. "And?" Blaze was ge
