My Wife is the Asura Empress-Chapter 242: Gift of the Phantom

Each night, he would come back to the wonderous forest realm, exhausted but determined to continue the next day.

Eve watched him with adoration and a hint of worry. She knew how important this task was to him, but she also saw how it was taking a toll on his mind. She tried to encourage him, reminding him of the progress he had made so far and how he was getting closer to his goal every day.

Twenty-seven days passed...

A figure appeared on the couch of the Empress Villa, he looked around but the bedroom was quiet, and there was no sign of Lia or anyone else.

The boy remembered what had Lia told him earlier that the three sisters would be going out today. They were probably out shopping for the upcoming banquet, which was only a day away.

Rio wasn't entirely sure when they would be back, but he didn't mind. He was content to relax after spending the day searching for black-stage beasts in the laughing alligator forest.

After a few minutes passed he decided to step into the bathroom, he could feel the sweat on his body from a long day of hunting. He stripped off his clothes and stepped into the shower, feeling the cold water hit his skin. The sensation was almost heavenly after days of diving in the lake.

Closing his eyes as he let the water rinse away the dirt and sweat, The sound of the water was soothing. After a few minutes, Rio turned off the water and stepped out of the shower.

Getting into a new set of clothes he was feeling fresh and clean, It was something he had missed.

Rio walked over to the bed, and he lay down on the bed, feeling the softness of the mattress beneath his body.

With a deep breath, he opened his profile, and the screen floated in front of his eyes, displaying his current stats.

Rio gazed at his profile, his eyes glued on the black stats points. He knew that his progress had been slower than he had hoped for.

Despite his efforts over the past 27 days, he had only managed to kill thirty-nine alligator beasts.

It was disappointing that most of them only awarded him with inadequately 0.5 stat points.

He couldn't help but compare himself to Nyla, who was lucky to be farming black-stage stat points faster than him and almost reached the Red stage in just one day.

While Rio's progress was not as impressive as hers, he took comfort in the fact that he had still made some improvement. It was better than having no stats points at all.

The boy understood that as he and Nyla killed the alligator beast last time, it became increasingly difficult to find more beasts to defeat. They had already slain many beasts during their previous visits to the area, which made it even more challenging to locate any remaining beasts in the lake.

As he pondered this, he began to realize the harsh reality of higher stages. The stronger one became, the more challenging it was to progress further. The beasts became more intelligent and cunning, making it harder to defeat them and find them.

Rio understood that he needed to have patience and be more strategic in his approach if he wanted to continue growing stronger. Finding high-level beasts would be harder as they would have higher intelligence to avoid dangers created by their foe.

After checking his progress, he shifted his attention to his new silver armor, which he had gained from defeating the purple stage monarch beast. The new armor was similar to a beast soul as it was kept in his mind sea.

He used his [Heaven's Eyes], to lift the veil to find its true nature.

'I should try it before the banquet.'

He got up from the bed and made his way to the dressing table, his steps resounding softly in the room.

He commanded in his thought, summoning the armor from his mind sea.

Suddenly, a brilliant silver light filled the room, enveloping him in armor that started to cover his entire torso.

He ran his hands over the silver surface of the armor and was surprised to find it was soft to the touch, unlike any other armor. He was delighted, knowing that this was a significant advantage in battle.

"It says it can take form... I should make something that won't be too obvious." He muttered to himself, contemplating the possibilities.

'Maybe something shorter? A cloak? A tie? Ah... No, no one wears that in the Shamor Empire.'

Rio thought for a moment, trying to come up with a clever disguise for the armor.
