Chapter 180 - End Of The Trial And Rewards!
Within a few minutes, the crimson giant swept the area clean of green monsters, signifying the end of the tenth monster wave as well as the trial!
Fairy Melody speechlessly looked at all of that with eyes opened so wide in shock that they threatened to pop out of her tiny eye sockets, and at the same time, her mouth hung low, enough for someone to stick five candies into her mouth, all of that because she couldn\'t believe that a mere combatant in the intermediate evolutionary stage would have such a powerful racial trait. Who the hell is he? Just how powerful is his race? Why has she never come across anything like that ever before in her life?
After killing all the monsters, it stepped up to Vincent, then kneeled on one of its knees, three of its in front of its left chest, and the other behind its back. Vincent raised his hand, touching it on its forehead, and the very next instant, the crimson giant shrank down into the shape of a red blob.
Vincent grabbed it up to his mouth and consumed it. The moment it entered his mouth, the red blood melted, and he tasted the sweetness of honey and the warmness of caramel going down his throat.
<Blood Count: 50/50>
Vincent\'s eyes blinked as various thoughts flashed in his mind, and then he grouped up with the rest of his teammates.
While they were talking to each other, Purple Fairy Melody suddenly appeared in front of them, and this time she had an extremely pleased smile on her face that expressed her joy.
"I still can\'t believe that you guys have managed to complete this trial! It\'s a trial that utilize one of the most deadliest and useful strategy to its limit. The strategy is to use overwhelming numbers of monsters to surround a group, and even a lot of great combatant was left with no way to escape and has fallen to such a strategy."
The thousands of goblins that popped out of the four portals didn\'t come without a reason. It was a strategy used by overpopulated empires to take down nearby kingdoms. As they say, two hands can not win against four. That was the basics of this strategy. A smaller kingdom might have one to four experts that could topple a small army, but if a large empire sends several of its experts to take care of these experts before starting a full-blown war, then the kingdom is sure to suffer a defeat and fall under the empire\'s hands.
It\'s just that Vincent was too overpowered compared to others in the same stage as him, as he not only had a bloodline belonging to the vampires in his body but also the Bracelet of Strength, a few powerful innate racial traits and so on, and thus, he managed to absolutely crush the overpowering like a true chad.
"Congratulations by the way! You\'ve done what many others have failed to do so, although most of the efforts were put in by a single person to do so." Melody congratulations them, saying sweet words of praise with a mixture of salt.
No one retorted, though, as everyone in the hall knew that Vincent put in the most effort in this trial, and without him, there was no chance for them to conquer this trial. If it was not for him, then they would\'ve failed miserably, or so everyone except for Varth thought in their mind.
"Not really. Everyone contributed here and there. Without Leilani, Iris, and Varth, we wouldn\'t have been able to deal with the undead ghouls. John and Nevis proved themselves competent and useful in many situations. If it wasn\'t for everyone working together as a team, then we would not have been able to conquer this trial." Vincent said, standing up for the sake of his teammates.
Everyone\'s eyes brightened in happiness since they realized that Vincent doesn\'t consider them as burdens, but someone who can stand by his side.
"Indeed, that\'s true." Even Purple Fairy Melody was forced to admit that what he said was true, and she agreed with his claim.
She continued, "Anyway, I\'m not one to complain. Since you\'ve completed this trial, you can now challenge the last trial. Tell me when you want to proceed, and I will open up a portal to the last trial ground for you."
"What about our rewards?" Nevis asked, wondering what they are going to get for conquering this trial.
"Everything you see in this hall belongs to you, from the thousands of carcasses of monsters to everything inside of them." Purple Fairy Melody said while pointing at the monsters in the surrounding area.
There were thousands of monsters piled up over one another in the hall, and it did make up to be quite a sum. One can easily warn millions of contribution points by selling all of them, but there was a catch.
"We don\'t have enough space to store all of that," Varth said, knowing full well that a normal spatial storage device can at most store several monsters inside of it, but not more than two thousand of them.
Leilani, Iris, John, and Nevis also agreed with him, as their spatial storage device wasn\'t vast. It was only as big as a big garage, but some of them had even shorter ones, and their spatial storage combined could only store a hundred or so monsters.
"That\'s your problem, not mine," Fairy Melody said with a yawn before closing her eyes, signifying that she won\'t be hearing any more of their complaints.
"I don\'t know why, but although she looks cute and all, I think she has a nasty attitude," Nevis said, looking away from Melody.
"Let\'s try to dismember them and store as many useful things as we can," John said, ready to go ahead and put in as many monsters as he possibly can into his spatial storage device.
Before he could do so though, Vincent stopped him.
"There\'s no need to work your ass off, guys!" Vincent said while looking at them with a smile.
"Huh?" They wondered what he has up his sleeves that made him sound so confident, and thus, they turned to look towards him with an expression of bewilderment.
"You guys are worrying about this unnecessarily. I can store everything in this hall into my spatial storage device. Just leave this to me, okay?" Vincent said in a voice overflowing with confidence. He could really store all of them as he had a subspace as big as an island.
"Are you for real?" They said those words not only because they found it hard to believe his words, but also because there was no way a spatial device with a large storage exist in this world.
"See for yourself!" Vincent said before he got to work, meaning he stored one monster after another into his subspace by merely saying the keywords. Within a few minutes, he managed to store the bones of the giant skeleton warriors, around a thousand carcasses of goblin, and also all the monsters they have faced in the first to the last monster waves into his subspace.
His simple act of storing the monsters into his subspace left everyone speechless and appalled, and they looked at him with eyes widened due to shock as well as lips parted because of the same reason. After all, he managed to do what he said, something that is impossible for the spatial storage devices of the modern world to perform.
"Just how big is your spatial storage?" Fairy Melody asked, saying the words right out everyone\'s mouth. They all wanted to know the answer to this question, so they looked at Vincent with big eyes filled with confusion, trying to pressurize him into answering.
"Umm, it\'s as big as an island!" Vincent said, honestly mixing the truth with harmless white lies.
"I see. You sure are lucky to come across a spatial device with huge storage." After Vincent fulfilled a part of her curiosity, Fairy Melody got even more friendlier with him. She was still curious about his race, the reason behind his overpowering strength, and so on, but she was not one to trouble others over their secrets.
They told the fairy that they wanted to rest for a few days. Not only were they tired to their bones, but they were also mentally exhausted. Moreover, Leilani has overused her powers, and that has put a strain on her supernatural cells, something that\'s like a muscle strain and needs a few days to recover. So, they needed that rest.
"Take as much time as you need," Melody said before she turned around and vanished from their sight, leaving them on their own devices.
