Chapter 155: Completing The Task And Return

"Fuck!" He swiftly dodged the incoming slimy, poisonous tentacles with quick, precise movements. At that moment, he became certain that these creatures were specifically targeting him. More of them seemed to be converging on his location.

Realizing something troublesome was unfolding, he knew he couldn’t afford to wait any longer. Determined, he resolved to cut through them and finish his task.

He didn’t hold back, unleashing a powerful, destructive sword aura as he slashed with his full strength toward the humanoid blood beast. The moment the sword energy appeared, it seemed to suppress the very world around it.

The blood beast, sensing the overwhelming force, tried to flee, but it was completely subdued by the sword’s energy. It couldn’t move an inch as the energy tore through everything in its path, annihilating the creature instantly.

[Task-Kill ten blood monsters (5/10)]

But he didn’t care about that, as three other humanoid blood monsters appeared from another side and directly attacked without a moment’s hesitation.

Apollo was alert, and instantly a large ice wall appeared that stopped the numerous poisonous tentacles in its path.

Bang! Bang! Bang!...

It collided with the ice wall, which was harder than crystals and effortlessly took their attack.

He quickly jumped over the ice wall and counter-attacked and slashed three consecutive strikes, creating three gigantic sword rays that seemed to tear space and obliterate the three blood monsters.

[Task-Kill ten blood monsters (8/10)]

"Hmm, below."

Boom!

Without giving him a moment’s reprieve, gigantic tentacles of crimson blood erupted from beneath the ground, assaulting him relentlessly. They were like raindrops in a storm, continuously coming, no matter how many he cut down.

"Not good, it’s buying time," he immediately realized, sensing two very strong auras descending into his range of detection.

They resembled the humanoid blood beasts but with clearer human characteristics, towering over twenty feet in height like giants.

"%%^^^%(Corrosive Blood Waves)," they murmured in a strange, unknown language, waving their hands to summon massive waves of corrosive blood. The waves surged forward, corroding the land and forest at an alarming speed, trying to swallow him whole.

The range of attack was quite wide and had devastating power. Apollo didn’t dare to be careless.

"Ice Nova."

He exploded with his skill, and an instantly chilling cold mist appeared that started to expand and collide with the blood waves, trying to freeze them in their path.

Crack! Crack! ... Zsss...

In its path, the blood waves started to freeze, creating large, red glacier-like masses. But the two giant blood monsters didn’t stop and were prepared to hold him back.

Apollo wasn’t playing around anymore as his premonition grew stronger, warning him that if he didn’t leave immediately, he might face unimaginable consequences.

"Ice Domain! Eternal Sword Domain!"

He unleashed two domains simultaneously, enveloping the two giant blood monsters.

These two blood creatures seem to have reached the fourth-rank limit-breaker level, so Apollo knew he needed to use real strength to end them quickly. The moment the two domains covered them, it was as if they were rats trapped in a cage.

The Ice Domain, with its heavenly cold, froze them to their core in an instant, but their ridiculous tenacity kept them from dying instantly. However, a moment later, countless sword energies from various sources bombarded them from every corner, annihilating every last drop of their existence.

[Task-Kill ten blood monsters (10/10)]

But at that moment, a powerful aura seemed to descend on the forest that started to wither the entire area, slowly turning the land desolate with a fearsome, gloomy, bloody aura.

He felt tremendous pressure; it was like the moment he saw the weird god in the ruins before activating the system. Even though he was countless times stronger than before, he still felt insignificant before this aura.

"No, I have to leave quickly."

"Why the hell he isn’t being sent out? Isn’t the task already completed?"

[Task completed being transported in three seconds, 3....]

"Fuck you, I will die in three seconds!" He cursed the robotic voice.

"No, I had to do something."

He didn’t waste a moment and transformed into demon-god form and exploded with unimaginable power to break free from the mighty aura and immediately used the high-grade spell Wings of Wind.

Because of his foundation Rune, it has strengthened and become as strong as a super-grade spell, and with full speed, he started to fly up, not even daring to look back as the countdown echoed in his mind.

[2... 1]

[Trialist being teleported]

Hearing this, he felt good and glanced backwards.

"F**k you, motherf**ker!" He cursed loudly, as he almost shit his pants because something was standing behind him, but Apollo could not see or tell what the person looked like, as the only thing he saw were pitch-black eyes before teleporting.

After Apollo teleported, the mysterious being remained standing in the sky. The very presence of this figure caused the sky to darken, and the countless mountains and forests below trembled as if bowing to its overwhelming power. The being murmured something, "dimensi..." before vanishing, leaving behind an unsettling silence as the world seemed to exhale in relief.

Bang!

Apollo crash-landed back at his place, shaking the entire area. After completing a task, trialists are sent back to their chosen location, and if they don’t have one, they’re randomly transported somewhere in the city—another reason why they all need to rent a place.

He didn’t care about the landing, though; he was horrified and almost literally shit his pants when he saw the mysterious figure’s eyes. For the first time in a long while, he felt genuine fear, as if he had narrowly escaped something beyond his understanding.

His heart was still racing as he absorbed everything that had just happened. The teleportation had saved him from whatever that terrifying presence was, but the memory of those pitch-black eyes lingered in his mind, sending a chill down his spine.

"Phew," he calmed down and quickly transformed back to his human form. His clothes weren’t torn off or damaged anyway, as he was already prepared for such a situation for transformation. Now he always wore special clothes that could expand many times, so even if he transformed many times, it wouldn’t be a problem.

But he couldn’t help but feel curious: who was the mysterious being, and what was the relationship between the blood monsters and it?

And more importantly, how the hell was this task so dangerous? "Damn, give me some compensation."

[Task has been completed; reward is being distributed...]

[Kill ten blood monsters- Reward 100 Sky points... Error in task degree measurement. Extra reward is being prepared.]

[Extra rewards- 300 Sky points and one Free Pass key for Dimension Battle World]

Instantly, the cold voice seemed to respond to his thoughts, and he was rewarded. His points skyrocketed from ’50’ to ’350’ Sky points, and his ranking, which had just dropped out of the top one hundred, climbed back up, finally settling at the 81st rank.

However, he didn’t feel interested in that as his focus was on the second reward, the free pass key of the dimension battle world.

It was something new, and I didn’t know anything about it, nor did Sol mention anything, but it must be something good from the Combat district of the Sky City, as anything related to battle must be from there.

Still, he needed to wait, as he was still shaking a bit. He needed to meditate to calm his agitated mind and focus on himself. So he decided to silently meditate and train his mind. Apollo sat in silence, drawing upon the techniques he had learned from the Primal Cosmos Meditation, allowing his mind to clear and his spirit to stabilize.

By the time the sun rose the next day, Apollo felt more centred and focused. He had spent the night in deep meditation. Sol also arrived at his place, as he seemed to have completed his second task and was in a great mood.

"Morning, Apollo!" Sol greeted cheerfully, clearly in high spirits. "I just finished my second task, and I have to say, it went better than expected!"

Apollo nodded, returning the smile. "Good to hear. What did you have to do?"

"Nothing too crazy," Sol replied, waving a hand dismissively. "Just had to deal with a group of rogue bandits. They put up a bit of a fight, but nothing I couldn’t handle."

He nodded hearing it; it seems his luck was good as he wasn’t almost fucked like him by some mistake.

Apollo could see the excitement in Sol’s eyes. It was clear that he was eager to share more details, but there was something Apollo needed to discuss first.

"Sol, do you know anything about a place called the Dimension Battle World?" Apollo asked; his tone was serious.

Sol blinked in surprise, his smile faltering slightly, feeling a bit confused. "Dimension Battle World? What’s that’s... How did you hear about it?"

"The system rewarded me with a Free Pass key for completing my task," Apollo explained. "But I don’t know anything about it, and even you never mentioned it before."

Sol was surprised to know this and felt bad. "Brother, is there discrimination in tasks? Why am I not receiving additional rewards?"
