Next, the three did not rashly start the final trial.
The difficulty of the second stage was already so high, and the difficulty of the third stage would be even more challenging based on that.
To ensure nothing goes wrong, before starting the third stage trial, they must let each of their beast companions recover to their optimal state.
When the beast companions of the three were all adjusted to their peak, Crystal Winslow slowly walked towards Aster Grant.
She stopped in front of Aster Grant, and her ice-blue eyes rarely showed some fluctuation:
"The third stage..." Her always cool voice hesitated for a moment, "You focus on the main attack."
This suggestion made Aster Grant slightly stunned.
Would someone as proud as Caelus Quinn accept such an arrangement?
He turned his head and saw that this young master of the family, who always held his head high, did not have a single rebuttal.
If the strength gap was not large, perhaps Caelus Quinn would still have competitive thoughts.
But after witnessing Aster Grant swiftly defeat ten Awakened Tier Seven Enhanced Trial Puppets, he completely let go of his pride.
"I agree with Crystal's idea too," Caelus Quinn patted his chest, "My Treant can take a beating; it will definitely help in stalling for some time."
Seeing the two of them say this, Aster Grant could only nod in agreement.
After all, judging by the skills of the Ice Phoenix and the Treant, the offensive abilities of these two beast companions were indeed weaker than Lazuli.
After confirming the strategy, the three of them walked to the center of the circular hall.
Here was the stone platform to start the third stage of the trial.
When their palms simultaneously touched the cold surface of the stone platform, the entire hall suddenly lit up with a ghostly blue light.
A mechanical voice echoed in the Void: "Final trial confirmation procedure activated."
A light screen unfolded before the three, with blood-red text particularly glaring:
[Final trial warning]
[Rule 1: Once the trial begins, it cannot be aborted midway]
[Rule 2: Only upon passing can you leave the Trial Space]
[Rule 3: Failure means staying here forever]
[Please confirm]
[Yes/No]
Aster Grant noticed a line of near-transparent small text at the bottom right corner of the light screen:
"Since the creation of the Trial Grounds, the clearance rate of the final trial: 0.00%"
Seeing this tip, Aster Grant's expression was somewhat solemn.
You must know, in the previous two stages, if one felt they couldn't last, retreating to the safe area could still ensure their safety.
But the final trial seemed different...
Passing is the only way to end it!
This meant, once the three fail to clear it, their lives would all be left here.
Aster Grant's gaze first fell on Caelus Quinn.
To his surprise, this young master was serious at this moment:
"I participate!" Caelus Quinn suddenly spoke.
"Before setting off, the old man said..."
"Either return with the glory of passing, or... never set foot in the Quinn Family again!"
"More importantly..."
Caelus Quinn suddenly raised his head, eyes full of stubbornness.
"I want that old stubborn to know his son is not a coward afraid to die!"
Aster Grant was slightly stunned at the words, then understood.
The Quinn Family, like the Winslow Family, is a family with hundreds of years of legacy.
As the heir of the Quinn Family...
He could be arrogant, he could be boastful, but he must not be afraid to die!
When his sight turned to Crystal Winslow, this cool girl just lifted her eyelids slightly.
Her slender fingers gently stroked the Ice Phoenix's feathers, and her thin lips parted lightly:
"Participate!"
Just two simple words, yet they carried immense determination.
Understanding the choices of Caelus Quinn and Crystal Winslow, a slight smile appeared at the corner of Aster Grant's mouth.
He took a deep breath, and his fingertips unhesitatingly chose "Yes."
"Boom——"
Accompanied by a deafening roar, a massive rock fell, completely sealing off the only way out.
And in the center of the hall, space suddenly twisted, a vague giant shadow was condensing.
With each bit it appeared, the pressure in the air increased, suffocatingly so.
[Trial Puppet: Ultimate]
[Talent: Epic Nine Stars]
[Level: Awakening Tier Eight]
[Power: 301]
[Constitution: 340]
[Spiritual: 256]
[Speed: 240]
[Skills: Balanced Force Field·Complete, Realm-Breaking Hammer, Stable Barrier]
Seeing the target of the final trial, even Aster Grant couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly.
Power and Constitution attributes exceeding 300 points, and even the slightly weaker Spiritual and Speed attributes reached 250 points!
Is such a thing really something a Tier Five newbie Beastmaster can clear?
Caelus Quinn and Crystal Winslow naturally felt the prowess emitted by this giant puppet.
Caelus Quinn involuntarily stepped back half a step, his Adam's apple rolling up and down:
"Star... Star Buddy, can we really take this thing down?"
His gaze swept to his proud Warbark Treant.
In front of this trial puppet, the three-meter-high Warbark Treant was just like a chick.
Seeing this trial puppet, Crystal Winslow's brows also furrowed tightly.
The Ebon-Frost Ice Phoenix on her shoulder also cried out uneasily upon seeing this trial puppet, clearly feeling the puppet's terror.
At this moment, Aster Grant watched the condensing trial puppet, rapidly calculating ways to kill this trial puppet in his mind.
[Divine Angel (Lazuli)]
[Talent: Legendary One Star]
[Level: Awakening Tier Five]
[Power: 148]
[Constitution: 150]
[Spiritual: 142]
[Speed: 153]
[Skills: Judgment (Increased damage to Demon Clan creatures), Divine Protection (Immune to one lethal attack), Blazing Angel Form (All attributes enhanced by 200%), Song of the End (Angel enters a slumber period after use)]
If Lazuli activates Blazing Angel Form, her attributes will rise to around 300 points.
Although her Constitution and Power are still a bit lacking compared to this beast, the bonus from the Judgment skill should be enough to break through this puppet's 340 points of Constitution.
However, this trial puppet won't just stand there and let Lazuli hack at it.
This requires Crystal Winslow and Caelus Quinn's beast companions to buy Lazuli 3 seconds.
If the plan fails...
Aster Grant's gaze lingered on the little girl's "Finishing Technique, Song of the End."
The Blazing Angel Form skill itself was already so powerful, so the Song of the End, even stronger than the Blazing Angel Form, could certainly deal with the Ultimate Trial Puppet in front.
However...
If absolutely necessary, Aster Grant really did not want to use this skill.
After all, after using it, the little girl would fall into a slumber period.
Who knows how long this period would last!
Thinking of this, Aster Grant cleared his mind of distractions.
No problem!
We can definitely do it!
"Crystal Winslow, Caelus Quinn, I need you to buy Lazuli at least three seconds."
Hearing Aster Grant's voice, Crystal Winslow and Caelus Quinn's bodies trembled.
"Star Buddy, don't worry, we might not be able to kill this puppet, but the Warbark Treant can certainly stall!"
Crystal Winslow beside him also nodded.
The Ebon-Frost Ice Phoenix, though not good at attacking, is very adept at control.
She and Caelus Quinn working together to control this trial puppet for three seconds should be achievable!
Looking at their beast companions, Aster Grant was not optimistic.
The attributes of the trial puppet were almost twice that of their beast companions.
With such a huge gap, trying to stall for three seconds is extremely difficult.
Moreover, this trial puppet has skills of its own.
But at this point, there are no other choices!
All they can do is gamble!
