Transmigrated Into the World of Magic and Swords-Chapter 149: Test
Chapter 149: Test
Ren understood the reason why Scarlett was unhappy because he knew the grade of her Downbringer sword.
"Well, you can treat this Eclipse Reaver as a spare sword." Ren said it was always good to have a backup because she would still have a reliable weapon at hand if her main sword was lost or broken.
Scarlett listened to him and nodded, "Alright."
All the knights wore jealous faces as they stared at the Unique Grade swords in her hands.
They wanted to ask her for a trade, but they didn’t have anything as valuable as the Eclipse Reaver sword, so they could only suppress their desire.
’Sister, you are so lucky!’
They said in their minds.
Then, the test continued.
Lexie stepped forward when Azriel asked the next participant to take the test.
However, her reward was only a black spear at Rare Grade.
Even though she was the head of one of the three big families in Nightshire City, her strongest magic was only Tier 5 magic, so her reward was not as good as Scarlett’s.
After Lexie, Ariana and Zaria took the test.
Like Lexie, they got Rare Grade weapons.
Ariana was thrilled with the reward, but Zaria acted normally because she had several Rare Grade weapons in her chamber.
"Next!" Azriel uttered.
One by one, the awakeners turned toward Ren.
They had taken the test, so it was his turn.
Even though they didn’t say anything, Ren knew what they had in mind. "I will take the test later. Our friends from the Snake and Chicken races have been spectators since earlier, so I will let them take the test first."
"You!" Ardentis was breathless with anger when Ren called them snakes and chickens again.
"Why are you angry? Did I insult you?" Ren pretended as if he didn’t insult them.
’As I expected, he is more fun than his elder brother.’
He liked playing with Ardentis more because it was easy to make him lose control of himself.
"You are calling us chic-" before Ardentis had finished his words, he was interrupted by his elder brother.
"Stop! Go and take the test." Asher didn’t want his younger brother to be kicked out of the temple, so he stopped him from speaking any more.
Ardentis shifted his gaze to his subordinates and spoke, "You take the test first."
"Understood." The blue-haired man responded.
After hitting the trial stone, he got a Rare Grade armor.
The other magical beasts took turns taking the test after that.
However, none of them got a Unique Grade reward.
Even though they had used their strongest skills and magic, they only got Rare Grade rewards, so Scarlett’s result was the best until now.
"I will take the test now." Ardentis stepped forward with an angry face because the best result was still from the human race.
’I have to get Unique Grade reward. I must not lose to that female human.’
A powerful aura burst out of his body.
He wanted to break Scarlett’s record, so he used his strongest skill.
’Mountain Shattering Fist.’
A blue serpent shot out of his fist.
Its glowing body twisted violently as it charged forward.
The air trembled with its hiss, and when it came into contact with the trial stone, a loud explosion echoed throughout the area.
All awakeners and magical beasts paid careful attention to the stone.
His attack was the strongest among the previous magical beast participants, so they were curious about what he would get as a reward.
"It’s gauntlets!" Ardentis approached the trial stone when silver gauntlets floated before it.
’It’s Unique Grade gauntlets!’
He smirked at the awakeners after finding out the grade of his reward.
Even though his reward was on the same rank as Scarlett’s, but at least, it was not worse than hers.
After replacing his old gauntlets with the new ones, Ardentis returned to where his brother and the others were.
"Valmira, go and show them how powerful you are." Ardentis believed Valmira would also get a Unique Grade reward because she was only a little weaker than him.
"Alright." Valmira stepped forward and attacked the stone.
Like his guess, she also got a Unique Grade reward.
However, her reward was not gauntlets, but armor.
After returning to her group, she spoke, "Elder sister, it’s your turn."
"Sure." Elera responded.
When she got a Unique Grade spear, she was not disappointed because she had guessed it beforehand.
After all, she believed only Divine class skills or Tier 8 and above could get the Legendary Grade reward.
Her magic was only Tier 5 magic, so it was normal if she only got a Unique Grade reward.
"Human, our groups have taken the test. It’s your turn now." Asher wanted Ren to take the test first because he was curious about his skill.
"Sure." Ren agreed instantly.
All awakeners instantly paid attention to him.
’Is he going to use that skill again?’
A question popped up in their minds.
As Ren was standing before the trial stone, he didn’t attack it immediately; instead, he touched his chin and stared at the rock.
’Which skill should I use?’
He had two offensive skills at the Divine class, so he suddenly hesitated whether he should use the Finger of Death skill or the eighth form of the Moon Sword secret technique.
’Alright. I will use the Finger of Death skill.’
Even though it would make him look cool if he showed them another Divine class skill, but from his point of view, it was not the best idea.
He needed to hide his trump card, so he should not show it easily.
As Ren was raising his right hand forward, the sky twisted into a vortex of spiraling dark clouds, turning the day into dusk.
Like what happened two hours ago, all awakeners and magical beasts trembled in fear when a terrifying aura filled the air.
Terror overtook their faces, and the frightening moment they experienced earlier came to their minds.
The expression of deep shock blossomed on his face when Azriel saw a giant golden finger coming out of the dark clouds.
He had been guarding the temple for five hundred years, but this was the first time a participant had used a Divine class skill on the test because all previous participants had only used low-level skills or magic.
’Finally, an interesting participant appears!’
His surprised face turned into a smile because a ray of hope finally appeared after five hundred years.
’Hmm?’
He shifted his gaze when he noticed the conditions of the other participants.
’They look so pathetic!’
He waved his right hand.
In the next second, all participants no longer felt the terrifying aura and could breathe normally like before.
"Thank you, senior!"
"Thank you, senior!"
"Thank you, senior!"
One by one, the awakeners and magical beasts expressed their gratitude.
Asher, who was looking at the descending Golden Finger, asked, "Ardentis, is this the skill he used to defeat you and the others?"
"Yes." Ardentis responded, "Brother, can you handle it?"
"Don’t worry. Our family Divine class skill is stronger." Asher said with confidence.
Ardentis’ lips curled up into a grin.
’Human, enjoy your glory now because I will end your life after we leave this temple.’
He believed his elder brother’s words instantly because he said confidently.
Boom!
The ground and the trial stone shook violently when the golden finger hit it.
If Azriel hadn’t protected them, many magical beasts and awakeners would have been thrown away by the powerful shockwave because his attack was so powerful.
Azriel waved his hand again when clouds of dust filled the area, blocking their view of the trial stone.
After the cloud of dust disappeared, everyone held their breath and paid attention to the stone.
*Sring...
A beautiful armor emerged from the trial stone.
The armor exuded an air of majesty and power, a flawless fusion of black and gold that shimmered under the light like a celestial masterpiece.
Its obsidian-black plates were sleek and polished, while intricate golden engravings ran across its surface, forming ancient patterns that seemed to pulse with hidden energy.
The pauldrons curved elegantly, and each gauntlet was reinforced with midnight-black metal adorned with gold embellishments, making them both deadly and dignified.
The armor was not just a suit of armor, but a symbol of overwhelming power and untamed glory because it gave off an aura of respect, fear, and awe.
’Wow!’
They could only say ’wow’ because they could not describe their feelings in words when they saw the beautiful and majestic armor before them.
As everyone was praising the armor, Ren ordered his system to check it.
’Eclipse Sovereign Armor? Legendary Grade Armor?’
His lips curled up into a smile as he looked at the beautiful armor before him.
’I got a good armor.’
He didn’t store the armor in his space ring immediately; instead, he returned to where his women were.
After he was in front of Scarlett and Lexie, he spoke, "It’s a Legendary Grade armor called Eclipse Sovereign Armor."
All awakeners and magical beasts could not say anything and only stared at the Eclipse Sovereign Armor in awe.
They had never seen a Legendary Grade armor before, so they were stunned by its majestic aura.
"Congratulations, Ren! You never fail to surprise me." Lexie said as she smiled softly.
"You are amazing, Ren!" Scarlett praised him like usual.
"Scarlett, your armor is only at the Uncommon Grade, so take this." Ren gave his reward to Scarlett without thinking twice.
There were two reasons why he gave the armor to her.
First, even though his armor was in a broken state, it was Divine Grade armor. And lastly, she was his wife, so it would be better to give her the armor.
After all, Lexie was a mage, so she didn’t need armor.
"For me?" Scarlett asked in surprise.
"Yes." he responded.
"Thank you, Ren!" Scarlett accepted it immediately.
At this moment, all awakeners were jealous of Scarlett again.
’Sister, you are very lucky!’
