Chapter 101:101 Ultimate Trial
Translator: 549690339
The Bloody Church had prematurely opened the rift.
This was undoubtedly excellent news for the mysterious man.
It lifted the spirits of the man who Dean McKenzie had worn out with his relentless attacks.
He ceased to delay the time, and stopped feeding the Secret Realm Crystal to the clone.
With the desertion of the mysterious man, the second wave of monsters that Dean McKenzie was already struggling with came to a complete end.
Dean McKenzie casually shot a Bone Fang to eliminate the remaining skeletons.
As the last skeleton fell, system notifications began rolling in on Dean McKenzie’s end.
[You have passed the second trial, the final trial begins!]
The system notification refreshed simultaneously, the sound of a rift being torn opened echoed.
At the edge of Land of Bone, a giant rift was ripped open.
Following that, a massive Bone Throne was thrust out of the rift, landing on Land of Bone.
As the Bone Throne settled, the skeletons that were previously wiped out by Dean McKenzie began to tremble.
At this point, the mysterious man outside the clone finally revealed a victorious grin.
“The real difficulty of this clone lies in the last wave.
That kid thought he was capable and attacked incessantly for several hours, consuming dozens of my Secret Realm Crystals.
I may have used up my Secret Realm Crystals, but he has inadvertently paved his own way to a dead end.
Perhaps he might have had a slight chance of clearing this final barrier, but now it’s absolutely hopeless!”
As the mysterious man spoke, the trembling bones in the Land of Bone begin to rise.
They transformed into several streaks of light, converging within the massive Bone Throne.
Within those lights, the apparition of a skeletal frame was slowly forming.
The entire process was surprisingly swift.
In less than five minutes, the apparition of the skeletal frame was mostly formed.
The final BOSS had made its appearance.
Almost at the same time, the mysterious man sneered: “A level three boss, what can a level one Necromancer do against it?”
Having said this, the mysterious man paused, casting his gaze towards a certain location in Spring City.
“Anthony, your surprise is here!”
At the same time, in the lab.
Ennis Hawkins, who had been watching the Demon Box, abruptly lifted his head to look outside Spring City.
He couldn’t possibly have missed the immense activity of the Bloody Church opening the rift.
“Heavenly Abyss? How is this possible? How could a Heavenly Abyss be near Spring City? Could it be?”
A possibility flashed in Ennis Hawkins’s mind: “Is this the so-called surprise?!!
Damn it!”
Realising this possibility, Ennis Hawkins’s body began to tremble uncontrollably.
“If there’s a score to settle, it should be with me. Why do this?
Even the slightest mistake could obliterate the entire Spring City.
No, it can’t be allowed out!”
Ennis Hawkins abruptly rose to his feet. He could not, under any circumstances, allow Spring City to come to any harm because of him.
So he had to nip the danger in the bud.
However, just as he was about to take action, the Demon Box in front of Ennis Hawkins began shaking violently.
Simultaneously, the shrill alarm in the lab went off.
The lab personnel promptly reported to Ennis Hawkins: “Sir, unprecedented energy fluctuations are coming from the Demon Box!
According to the energy feedback in the Demon Box, the trial has reached its most crucial moment.”
As a matter of fact, Ennis Hawkins didn’t need a report. He was perfectly aware of the state of the Demon Box.
He knew even more clearly that Dean McKenzie’s life was hanging by a thread.
At the same time, a dilemma was placed in front of Ennis Hawkins.
Would he choose to stay and save Dean McKenzie, or go to where the rift was, to prevent the monster within the rift from escaping.
Obviously, this was the ‘surprise’ that the mysterious man had prepared for Ennis Hawkins.
At this moment, a black Crystal Ball appeared in the mysterious man’s hand, displaying Ennis Hawkins as seen from the Demon Box’s perspective.
Watching Ennis Hawkins trapped in his dilemma, the mysterious man who had previously been rather agitated when dealing with Dean McKenzie, was exceptionally calm now.
He quietly waited for Ennis Hawkins to make his choice.
However, not only the mysterious man was waiting for Ennis Hawkins’s decision.
At the same time, in the Mirror Stand of Spring City, Breanna Holt was also watching the lab.
She was obviously aware of the ‘surprise’ plan of the mysterious man.
She also knew clearly of the dilemma Ennis Hawkins was facing.
She leaned lightly against the window sill, swirling her wine glass with a teasing expression: “Didn’t you say life isn’t a calculation problem?
Now I place a calculation problem right in front of you, let’s see if you choose to save one person or a city!”
Bang!
Almost at the same time when Breanna Holt finished speaking, a figure riding a white horse radiating with holy light burst out from the direction of the lab.
Seeing this, Breanna Holt smirked.
“So you’ve made a choice, you chose to save Spring City?
It seems that in your saintly eyes, the lives of the cityfolk are indeed more important than one individual!”
As she said this, there was no teasing in Breanna Holt’s expression.
Because she didn’t think there was anything wrong with the choice Ennis Hawkins made.
Whether from the saintly perspective or the rational perspective, abandoning Dean McKenzie at this point was the right choice.
“After all, the lives of a city of people are more important than one individual.
Even if Dean McKenzie dies, as long as he saves the city, no one will blame him, and he can still be a hero.
So, this abandonment is rational.
It seems that this ‘Saint Anthony’ has finally matured… wait a minute, what’s that?”
Breanna Holt narrowed her eyes, abruptly moving her gaze to Ennis Hawkins.
Upon closer inspection, it wasn’t hard to see that Ennis Hawkins was riding a horse with a box, specifically, the Demon Box.
Ennis Hawkins took the Demon Box with him.
Despite its enormous weight at this crucial moment, Ennis Hawkins still gritted his teeth and took it along.
Racing towards the outskirts of Spring City.
While charging towards the rift, Ennis Hawkins didn’t forget to communicate with the Professional Alliance of Spring City, asking them to stand guard over the city.
Watching Ennis Hawkins in this state, Breanna Holt squints her eyes.
“Alright, it seems I have to take back what I said earlier, this ‘Saint Anthony’ hasn’t matured at all.
He’s still so naive!
Clearly, he didn’t entertain the idea of giving up on either an individual or a city.
He plans to save both.
But the question is, can he do it? Does he have the power to?”
As Breanna Holt said this, Ennis Hawkins’s pace suddenly lagged behind..
