Chapter 88 Onwards to Yorik Kingdom, Star-Frost Wings
88 Onwards to Yorik Kingdom, Star-Frost Wings
'So it was a test? Jeez…'
[ You have made the correct choice, Despairer. If you had chosen to save the siblings, you would have died with a 98% chance, as those siblings were also corrupted. ]
[ Please always exert maximum caution before anything related to Abyss. ]
*BOOM!*
On the other hand, his Roaring Metal Cannon only took a second to hit the ground, something Erix didn't expect to happen.
With widened eyes, Erix looked below and zoomed in to see a giant crater with nothing left of the so-called Abyss Ritual Pool!
[Congratulations! You have destroyed the Abyss Ritual Pool.] Nôv(el)B\\jnn
[You have completed the task….
Erix heard reward notifications while he flew down, but he was focused on the situation below.
'They are alive?' He saw the faint and weak auras a bit far away from the crater, numbering four.
'All of them are alive, but that blondy is on the verge of dying.'
He finally descended to the center of the crater and couldn't help but grin as he looked at the destructure he caused. Even he didn't know that the combo of Windfury Cannon and Roaring Metal Cannon could be this powerful!
'No one can stay alive if I drop this combo on anyone back on Earth...probably.'
Shaking his head, Erix focused back on the business.
'Those trio, they are recovering quickly,' Erix turned his back to the auras five hundred meters away.
A couple of seconds later, Erix saw the blond man's life aura disappearing, leaving only his residual aura.
'These three are definitely not your average Tom, Dick, and Harry.'
After all, he had felt a threat from level 85 blondy. It was not a level 85 beast or monster but an experienced hunter!
The trio then quickly recovered their vitality using potions as Erix saw their aura recovering brightness.
Erix just waited upon seeing them approaching him.
"What in the hell was that, Erix?" The trio landed before Erix, their expressions showing surprise and shock.
"That was absolutely deadly. We would have died if we were not already far from here."
'Maybe,' Erix internally scoffed.
"Or were you planning to kill us altogether?" the tallest one suddenly asked as his nose slightly puffed and his brows furrowed.
"Of course not," Erix wryly smiled. "Even I didn't know that the combo of…two skills would be this powerful," he said with a slight pause in the middle to change his words to avoid mentioning his Death Bone.
"Anyway, let us quickly go before that Railun comes here. We can't beat him and the dragon together," the guy with thick eyebrows said as he looked in the direction of the camp.
They were 40 kilometers away from the camp, but it wouldn't take long for Railun and that dragon to come here with their speed.
"Erix, you can come with us for a while since I feel you can assist us more."
Erix quickly wanted to say yes, but he restrained and rubbed his chin before nodding. "You three are not bad, so I'll accompany you. Alright, where are we going?"
The trio's eyebrows twitched, hearing Erix's tone.
"We are going to this region's ruler, Yorik Kingdom," the tallest black-haired guy said as he stepped forward and stretched his hand toward Erix.
"I am Darius Khroll, from Khroll Dukedom of Yorik Kingdom."
"I am Dylan Lokam, from Lokam Dukedom," said the black-haired guy with blue eyes.
"I am Xander Lokam, Dylan's younger brother," said the shorted black haired guy with bronze eyes.
'Darius, Dylan, and Xander? And there's a kingdom. It looks like I got myself into a useful party,' Erix internally smiled.
"I am Erix, Just Erix. Nice to meet you."
'I need more power and better skills. If magic is long established in this world, there should have a library or something in the kingdom or anything useful related to magic…right?'
Erix's eyes excitedly glinted as he followed the trio in the sky, flying towards the Yorik Kingdom!
…
"Destroy this statue!"
"B-But chief…."
"Do it!"
Isabella watched Chief Venisa order four Magha men to destroy their ancestor's statue.
"The statue is corrupted by something ominous, so the blessings we get might harm us," Venisa said, her expression somber.
"Destroy it!"
After destroying the statue, Venisa led Isabella into the Chief House and wrote something on a paper before giving it to Isabella.
[A new task has been added.]
"Iseballe, I know this is too much to ask, but we need your help to deliver this letter to Starfrost Magha Tribe."
After saying that, Venisa took out a map from her storage ring and gave it to Isabella.
"This is the map. It's sixty kilometers away from here, so the road will be tough, but…' Venisa bit her lips. "No one here is as powerful as you and capable of reaching the Starfrost Magha tribe."
"The only thing I have to offer is a valuable skill stone that Starfrost Magha Tribe's leader gave me two years ago," Venisa smiled and took out a beautiful finger-sized sea blue crystal with eccentric icy and sparkling blue patterns.
"I was saving it for someone talented in our tribe, but we are in a desperate situation," Venisa grabbed Isabella's hand and put the skill stone on Isabella's hand. "And I trust you will use this skill stone well and help us."
'What terrible thing did she feel when she looked at the statue's eye that made her this desperate?'
"I will help you, chief Venisa," Isabella nodded with a reassuring smile. "But can you tell me what you know about that strange thing in the statue?"
"I don't know anything about it," Venisa shook her head before she sighed, "but every ancestor's statue in this region has the power of ancestor's divinity in them."
"But…something still managed to corrupt the statue. I can't help but feel that a disaster is brewing if there is a power here capable of corrupting our ancestor's statues," Venisa's wrinkled brows furrowed. "If all statues are corrupted, I don't know what will happen, so I must inform others."
Venisa looked at Isabella straight in her eyes and somberly continued, "Once the Starfrost Magha tribe gets this letter, leader Kukul will inform others and investigate."
"I see. Then Chief Venisa, I'll depart in a few minutes after returning to the house."
"Thank you, dear. We will never forget this favor."
Isabella left Chief Venisa's house while looking at the new task.
—> Deliver the letter to Starfrost Magha Tribe and decide your next move. / Rewards: +1 level, Item recall box, and 1x Labyrinth shop ticket.
'This skill will help me a lot,' Isabella thought as she couldn't help but smile upon sensing the new skill rune in her Origin Region.
The skill was the main reason why she accepted the task. After all, it was a 3rd Tier skill!
[Star-frost Guardian Wings]

'Powerful! A skill with more skills inside?' Isabella was amazed. She wanted to try out the skill immediately but showed restraint and returned to her house first.
