356 The Absolute of Selamus – 2 (1/2)
”Huhu, Huhu.”
At the end of the spear—a dark smoke was falling.
Just a while ago, the Absolute of the Desert Tribe 'Syaelo' flames were just broken successfully.
[Indeed… you are amazing. My test is still here.]
The flames that were rising from the floor were extinguished and the voice echoed.
Ian turned his gaze towards the wizard in the air and responded,
”Thank you, Syaelo.”
”I was excited since you hadn't lost even a single battle before this… but, it was more than what I had expected. I enjoyed doing this after a long time.”
”It isn't like that. Kaizec…”
”Ah, there it is. Kaizec isn't someone that can be hit off. Kaizec managed to do it because he had an incarnated body, but the truth is that you have passed all the tests.”
And finally, Ian managed to complete all the tests with the Absolute of the Desert tribes.
And the result was 6 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss.
The rule of the Gate was— if the vitality dropped below 10%, then it would be considered as a defeat, which had happened in the first battle, the first with Kaizec and the third battle against Eos.
In the battle against Eos; both the Absolutes attacked and Ian's attack reached the opponent at the same time, and both of them were out of the game at the same moment.
Though the other battles weren't so easy, he managed to win them with a great margin.
And thanks to it, the result was 6 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss.
'I never thought that summoner would be the hardest to face.'
Ian recalled the battle into his mind, and Syaelo opened her mouth,
”Well, congratulations. With this, there will be a new Absolute registered in the SkyHall.”
”Thank you.”
”If you improve… you might turn mightier than Eos…”
Hwrrk-!
Speaking what she wanted to say, Syaelo hid her trace after a flame engulfed her.
Precisely, it wasn't her, but her illusion.
Ian smiled and grabbed the spear in his right hand, and wiped off the sweat from his forehead.
He wasn't sure how long he had been in there, but he was under the impression that he wasn't late for the war.
'Kay, Finished the quest! I'm going to get busy now.'
Whether Ian's thoughts were ready or not, system messages started to appear in succession.
Tring –
[Won the battle against the Absolute 'Syaelo'.]
[Current record: 6 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss]
[Cumulative Points: 768798 (The points are the sum total achieved in all the battles)]
['The Selamus Tribe's Absolute V' all the quest conditions have been met.]
[You have successfully cleared the quest.]
While Ian was reading the system messages, a familiar silhouette made out of white light formed in front of him.
He was the one who had given Ian this quest.
It was Eos.
”Amazing, I'm proud of you. Warrior of Selamus.”
There was excitement in Eos's face.
And that was natural, as the result had been much better than assumed.
Even if he lost to Kaizec, it wasn't something that could be considered as a defeat.
Ian smiled and responded,
”Thank you, Eos. I'm happy that I could meet your expectations.”
Eos nodded and responded,
”Frankly, I never thought that you would be able to challenge my strength.”
”Really?”
Eos nodded while smiling and said,
”Yes. None of the challengers who came in here, never even managed to make me sweat.”
Woong-!
The spear which was behind Eos was vibrating vigorously with sounds echoing in the air.
That made Ian's gaze turn towards the spear of Eos.
'That spear looks very similar to my Judgement of the Spirit King… something seems familiar.'
Ian looked at Eos as he had something to ask.
”But Eos, you weren't fighting me with your original form. I am happy that I could entertain you.”
Eos laughed and responded,
”That certainly could be true, but you managed to fight even with all your skills sealed. If you would've fought against me with all your skills… winning against you with all my power would've been a far scenario.”
At the words from him, Ian put his head down and mumbled to himself.
'This NPC sure has good judgment.'
In fact, Eos was perfectly correct.
If Ian had all the skills and familiars, then he would have managed to win on the first Absolute Kaizec.
Though it would've been a bit tough to win.
And Eos spoke again,
”Okay then, you have passed the Hall of Sky with a perfect record compared with all the contestants from the past, and you have been registered in the Hall of Fame.”
Eos was done speaking and lifted his hand towards the sky.
A light had moved from the sky and fell on his hand, then it moved to the stone pagoda in the center of the square.
Tring –
[You have been registered in the Hall of Sky.]
[Total: 6 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss (Rank 1)]
[Cumulative points: 768798 (Rank 1)]
[Consolidated Ranking: 1st place]
[Since you've registered to the 1st rank, you will receive the rewards accordingly.]
[On the first Monday of every month, you will earn fame of 200,000.]
[The affinity with all the desert tribes has increased by 70.]
[You have obtained the legendary items, 'Selamus Summoners Skill Book']
Reading the system messages, Ian couldn't help but smile.
It was because of the extra benefits he had been getting.
'The Cumulative points, the book… they are still the same as last.'
