TALE OF THE COLD EMPEROR - Season 2 Episode 58

Athan didn’t return, stayed to fight more and get rewards as he saw that Tiana and others were still training and haven’t broken through yet.

After killing Goredon, He started moving again while using his detection barrier, but he didn’t encounter another enemy in the ten minutes before the trial teleported him.

Just like this, He continued killing, and when he killed his fifteenth opponent, He received a voice in his head.

[ You have completed fifteen kills, From now on, you will receive better rewards at every kills. ]

” Better rewards? Well, I can’t wait to see them. ”

All he received until his fifteenth kill were the fruits that increase one’s soul strength from 1 meter to a rarely 2 meters, so he wanted to see the better rewards.

The fruits they got randomly increased their soul strength. Sometimes, Their soul body increases by 1 meter, sometimes 1.5 meters, and sometimes 2 meters, and it depends on the fruit but never once it went past 2-meter increase, and they rarely got fruits which increased their soul body by 2 meters as mostly it was 1 to 1.5 meters.

After eating the fruits he got till his fifteenth kill, His soul body had already increased to 13 meters.

It’s not been even a day as he was fighting every ten minutes.

‘ Let’s farm for the so-called better rewards. ‘ Thinking of this, Athan continued moving.

After a while, He encountered a Requiroar race woman, but he didn’t waste time and instantly killed her with one wave of his hand.

Everyone in this trial was basically ant to him now because his powers were not sealed, and he could use primal energy. But he had a doubt.

” Is this really primal energy? It feels different than the primal energy that appeared after I broke the primal barrier. ” Athan muttered as he waved his hand, and the primal energy from the unima core appeared over his hands.

This energy was golden brown, while the primal energy he first got after he broke his primal barrier was darker.

He put this in the back of his mind for now and decided to compare this energy with other’s primal energy when they breakthrough.

After seven minutes of traveling, he finally found an enemy and defeated him.

He then waited for the teleportation since there were only a few seconds left, and after that, he would get the so-called better reward.

After a few seconds, he was teleported to another place by the trial. The place where he appeared was filled with swamps and trees.

He first used his detection barrier before checking out the rewards.

” What the heck? It’s still a fruit but a new kind of fruit which I didn’t receive before. ” murmuring this, He decided to try it out and just ate it.

After a while, He felt the familiar sensation of his soul getting stronger, but he was surprised to find that he easily passed the 2-meter mark and his soul finally stopped getting stronger after his soul body reached the size of 16.5 meters.

” Damn, That’s 3.5 meters of increase. So this is what the trial meant by receiving better rewards. Great. ” Athan grinned before thinking, ‘ I should stay in the trial as long as the trial allows me and get as many rewards as possible. This is the best place to get strong so far. ‘

After an hour, He killed seven enemies and received five fruits, one armor, and one pair of boots.

He decided to eat fruits in bulk, so he saved them and was preparing to eat them, but just then, he noticed that someone manifested the primal barrier and was preparing to break it inside the special space.

‘ Looks like Tiana will also breakthrough soon. ‘

Thinking of this, Athan ate the fruits first and then decided to enter the special space because, by the time he is done absorbing the fruit and strengthening his soul, Tiana will have successfully broken through.

After eating them, the process of his soul strengthening started, and his soul body increased all the way up to 33 meters.

” Hahaha. In no time, I will regain my 50-meter soul body. ” Athan couldn’t help but laugh after seeing the strengthening of his soul.

He suddenly looked at his right side as he felt someone entering his detection barrier.

” Let’s try the new attack method I thought of, Though it might only work on people who have lower power than me. ”

The Crysax race man entered within Athan’s detection barrier and didn’t notice the barrier nor that someone was targeting him.

While he was moving, he suddenly noticed a small bird flying behind him, and out of caution, he destroyed that bird.

The bird exploded as some kind of energy spread onto the crysax race man, but he didn’t notice it since it was fully invisible and camouflaged. He had no way of sensing this with his current strengthen.

At ninety-five kilometers away, Athan conjured a blood-red arrow that had a silver hue on it. The arrow started spinning before Athan snapped his finger, and the arrow disappeared.

[ Homing Slaughter ]

He perfectly pinpointed the location of his enemy and marked him by using the bird. That bird could be created anywhere within his detection barrier, As long as the enemy doesn’t notice the barrier and destroy it.

After the bird exploded, the energy released from it marked the enemy.

The Arrow released by Athan was traveling between spaces towards the mark on the crysax race man.

The crysax race being was cautiously moving after his recent encounter with the bird, ” What was that bird? Was it released by someone? But why can’t I sense that person? ” With a frown, he muttered.

But suddenly, his face changed as he felt the crisis, but it was too late as the arrow appeared at his life side suddenly and hit him.

*BOOOM..*

He couldn’t do anything as he hit and exploded into pieces.

But after killing him, Athan received an unexpected message.

[ You have reached the limit of kill count rewards and will not receive any more rewards for killing someone. ]

[ You are also eligible for participating in the Bloodpath trial, where you can receive more grand rewards, but it’s up to you whether you want to participate in it or not. ]

[ If you want to participate in that, Then you have to break the blood crystal. ]

After that, A blood crystal appeared inside Athan’s genesis realm.

” The Bloodpath which gives more grand rewards? Hahaha, I definitely want to go there. ” Athan laughed after he heard everything.

But first, he went to the special space as Tiana was done with her breakthrough.
