Chapter 8 - The despair of the Final Trial

Every year, a new lord emerges in the Blue Realm.

However, there are only a handful of S-level ratings.

One reason is that S-level difficulty is indeed extremely difficult.

Imagine a new lord facing two level 5 hero-level monsters.

This is already at Nightmare difficulty.

It's important to know that new players are randomly assigned a unit, with a maximum of one hero-level and nine elite-level units.

Moreover, they are all level one units.

This means that even at its peak, the overall quality of the team cannot surpass the strength of the fifth wave of monsters.

To pass the fifth level, you'll have to rely on the lord's own talent.

Talent is the biggest variable in the trials.

However.

However, even so, there are always some genius lords.

They were able to pass the fifth wave of trials.

After all, a monster is a monster, and a lord is a lord.

As long as you have enough wisdom.

It is also easy to defeat a stronger opponent with a weaker one.

Many lords also did so before entering the Blue Realm.

A simulated training exercise for the Lord's Trial was conducted.

They can even receive good reviews.

Generally speaking, there should be around 20 S-rank lords.

However, in reality, the number of S-rank evaluations in each year's trials is often less than expected.

This is because they recklessly challenged the SSS-level rating.

The sixth wave of trials already yielded an SSS-level rating.

There is no SS rating.

If it fails, it will drop back to an A rating.

You can only receive the A-level reward.

But if successful, the reward will be a generous SSS-level prize.

These are the lords who passed the S-level rating.

They would often shout: "My fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of heaven!"

Or perhaps: Now that we can glimpse the final trial, why not give it a try?

Then, they chose to face the final trial.

However, the final result...

It's often not that they've completed the final trial.

It wasn't that they admitted defeat; they received an A rating.

Instead, it's about choosing the moment of the final trial.

They were instantly killed in the final trial.

A genius of his generation fell on the spot.

The sixth trial is also known as the trial that should absolutely not be chosen.

Only a select few are truly powerful lords.

Only then can one barely glimpse this trial.

Only then can one admit defeat and save their life.

If you're weaker, you won't even have a chance to admit defeat.

At the same time that Su Heng issued the order to conduct the final trial.

Whoosh!

Bang bang bang bang!

A series of explosions rang out!

-200

...

Puff puff puff puff—

The thorn guardians waited in the rear.

They were killed almost instantly.

At the same time, Su Heng also felt his body being cut and attacked.

However, before eliminating all of his units.

No attack on him will have any effect.

It's impossible to kill him.

Therefore, Su Heng was not harmed in any way.

"So fast."

Su Heng hadn't yet figured out what this being was.

And just as the fifth Thorn Guardian was killed.

But then a cold female voice rang out.

"Have you killed enough?"

Buzz—

In an instant.

A mantis-like figure froze beside a thorny guardian.

At this moment, it was still holding its two swords high.

Prepare to strike down that Thorn Guardian!

...

The Ultimate Shiny Scyther (Mythical)

[Level: 4]

[Description: A mythical mantis, possessing unparalleled speed, primarily known for its cutting abilities!]

[Final Trial Buff: Flash of Speed - Increases all speeds by 500%]

...

A mantis with mythical potential.

When Su Heng saw this message.

I couldn't help but swallow.

So this is the final trial.

Let the new lord face mythical monsters...

Mythology belongs to the seventh qualification level.

Above that lies the realm of super-mythology, immortality, and eternity.

It is very close to the ultimate Eternal level.

Not to mention, this shimmering mantis also gained a full speed boost buff.

A five-fold speed increase.

All I can say is that it was incredibly fast.

However...

At this moment, Darkness activated her taunt ability.

The praying mantis turned its head with difficulty.

In the eyes of this [Flash Mantis].

The whole world turned into a pure white.

It was pure white.

You can't even see the ground.

In this pure whiteness, he could only see one target.

That's Darkness.

His perception of everything else was blocked.

The next moment.

The flashing mantis then vanished from its spot.

It charged toward Darkness!

He is the epitome of speed.

It's no wonder that so many lords died in this level.

Ordinary lords wouldn't be able to react at this stage.

The lord's core could be destroyed in an instant.

Judging from the fact that the mantis attacked its own body in its very first move.

This mantis clearly knew how to end the trial.

If it had just appeared, it would have attacked the lord's core instantly.

The lord couldn't do anything about him.

Creatures of this caliber are only likely to be encountered by lords at least at the sixth rank or higher.

Lords who possess mythical-level troops are all renowned and powerful lords.

Bang bang bang bang!

In an instant, the Flashy Mantis dashed to Darkness's vicinity!

[Immovable]

Darkness did not retaliate.

Instead, they immediately erected a shield.

Use the new skills you've just learned!

[Immovable: While in this state, you cannot move, recover 25% of your maximum health per second, and gain 80% damage reduction (this effect cannot stack with other damage reduction effects). You can also absorb all projectile skills and normal attacks. Under this damage reduction state, the reflected damage effect is calculated as if no damage reduction was applied.]

Ding ding ding ding ding—

The Flashy Scyther's twin blades slashed wildly across Darkness's body!

...

All that could be seen was this mythical mantis, striking ten times per second at lightning speed.

It dealt 20 points of high damage to Darkness!

And the next second.

+925

A green number popped up above Darkness's head.

Restores 25% of maximum health per second.

These green numbers are despairing.
