10x Rewards: Conquering Women and Taming Beauties-Chapter 48: Clearing The Trial With Ease

Vale quickly explained from the side, "It seems more than one person can fight at a time. However, the strength of the armored soldier would be all of theirs combined."

I nodded. It was the same conclusion I had already reached.

A thoughtful look appeared on my face as I watched someone immediately climb onto the stage the moment the battle ended.

Taken aback, I watched in surprise as the young man attacked the armored soldier and it immediately retaliated.

"Huh?" Faevy exclaimed, her mouth parting slightly. "It seems there’s no longer a need for a timer?"

That realization made me finally understand why the number of humans and cursed creatures had reduced so drastically within just a few hours.

Pondering briefly, I quickly formed the rules of the trial in my mind, already prepared to clear it without hesitation.

Staring at the young man on stage, I thought of something and immediately made my move.

My eyes took on a shade of ethereal pink.

In my line of sight, my vision sharpened more than tenfold, and I could subconsciously predict the movements of both fighters on stage.

However, that wasn’t what I was aiming for by using my unique eyes.

My thoughts slowly flowed into the mind of the armored fighter.

Gradually, the armored fighter slowed slightly. Then a wave of cursed energy leaked out from it.

The next instant, its speed increased by more than ten times.

The pupils of the fighter on stage shrank considerably as he tried to defend himself, but it was already too late.

The next moment, the blade of the armored soldier came crashing down onto his head, cleaving his skull in two.

"This..."

"What just happened?"

The sight dumbfounded the crowd. Everything had been going smoothly, then suddenly it was as though the armored soldier gained a new surge of strength and cleaved the cursed fighter in two. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

The gruesome scene left everyone reeling in shock.

Sophie’s pupils constricted slightly. "Another rule I haven’t learned about?" she whispered inwardly, unable to reach a conclusion.

Vale was similarly confused.

However, only I understood what had actually happened.

’It worked...’ A faint smile tugged at the corner of my lips.

Although it came at the price of a life, I didn’t mind. After all, I had confirmed what needed to be confirmed.

I could control the armored soldier...

That made things extremely easy.

While everyone was still recovering from their shock, I slowly approached the stage with steady steps.

Gradually, my movements slowed to a stop.

"Aristarkh? What are you doing?" Vale muttered in shock.

I gave her a look that signaled I had everything under control.

With that, Vale fell silent, her gaze still lingering on the armored soldier, ready to intervene at any moment.

Even though it would likely cause the strength of the armored soldier to double, she didn’t care in the slightest as long as she could keep me safe.

Sophie also watched me with narrowed eyes.

To this youth who had been with her twin sister ever since, she couldn’t help but feel curious about my identity.

There was a faint air of mystery about me. Aside from my handsomeness and weak strength, she found me almost unreadable.

"What does he plan to do? Can he handle it?" she wondered, eager to see how long I would last.

Everyone watched silently, waiting for the battle to unfold.

Sensing my weak strength, a few couldn’t help muttering to themselves, wondering whether I would last more than seven minutes.

No one noticed the subtle glow in my eyes as I stepped onto the stage.

Slowly, with a faint smile tugging at my lips, I stared into the eyes of the armored soldier.

It stared back at me, twitching slightly, its sword rising slowly.

Everyone stared at the scene on stage.

"What’s going on? Why isn’t he bringing out his weapon?"

Vale questioned, her eyes narrowing slightly.

Her nerves tensed instantly, her weapon already appearing in her hand.

Suddenly, my cold voice spread into everyone’s ears.

"Kill yourself..."

It sounded like a joke, as though I were merely stating something absurd.

However, both Sophie and Vale’s eyes changed at the same time.

’Sister’s eye ability?’

’My eye ability?’ both sisters thought simultaneously, their expressions shifting in surprise.

Just as everyone was about to dismiss my words as a joke, a faint ripple spread through the surroundings.

Suddenly, the armored soldier raised its sword toward its own neck.

Just when everyone thought it would pierce its own heart, it paused slightly.

"You... win." A strained voice echoed from beneath the helmet.

It sounded hoarse, but it was undeniably feminine.

The armored soldier glanced in my direction, her eyes unreadable as she continued speaking.

However, the crowd surrounding us had already erupted into an uproar.

"He won? Just like that?" someone exclaimed, his voice filled with disbelief.

"How could he have won so easily when so many lives have been lost? This has to be a joke, right?" another muttered with a frown.

A few were unwilling to accept it. After all, they had lost friends and even loved ones in this trial ground.

However, the two on stage didn’t seem to care in the slightest.

What the crowd didn’t know was that... the armored soldier had already died a long time ago.

The moment I gave the command, it had killed itself, only to be stopped midway by the mastermind in charge of the trial ground.

However... that didn’t change the fact that it had already lost to me.

Still, the fact that it managed to resist the absolute control of my eyes, even for a moment, made me realize I couldn’t underestimate whoever was behind it.

"Fear not, my friend," the strained, feminine voice continued.

"I won’t harm you." The voice paused briefly, then continued evenly.

"You have won the trial... as such, you will receive my inheritance..."

"Thank you," I said quietly.

"You deserve it."

The clang of metal echoed as the soldier approached me, then gently placed her fingers against my temple.

Instantly, an influx of information surged into my mind.

Gradually, the information became overwhelming, forcing me to clutch my forehead as I struggled to process it.

[Ding! Congratulations on receiving the inheritance of a fallen god.]

[Dracona crafted a trial that echoed for eras, hoping to obtain a disciple who could surpass their limits and defeat themselves. For many years, no one had been able to clear the trial until you appeared, using the Eyes of Avalon.]

[Congratulations on receiving the Heavenly Deciphering Cursed Art.]

[Congratulations on receiving the Elemental Warrior’s Mantle.]

[Congratulations, you have awakened the Cursed Copycat Mantle.]

[Please be warned: the karma of the goddess Dracona now falls upon you.]

The influx of information was overwhelming. Coupled with the system’s constant chimes, it took me more than an hour to recover.

During this time, it was as though everyone else had been frozen in place, unable to act. As such, no one could make a move on me while I was immobile.

Finally, I drew in a sharp breath, my Eyes of Avalon glinting faintly...

’This is... overwhelming...’ I couldn’t help but mutter to myself as i felt the new found power flowing through me.
