Chapter 97: - A King And A Sloth Champion
[You received 10/10 of the Lone Survivor of a Forgone Era tale sheet]
[The tenth challenge has been conquered.]Nôv(el)B\\jnn
[Your Courage Points have been doubled as a reward.]
[Name: Broken]
[Courage Points: 9,454,400]
"So..." Broken let out a sigh of relief after reading the notification. "What a joke! Was the challenge really completed just by testing my courage to face the final?"
Regardless of the simplicity, he felt an immense sense of gratitude and true glory for completing his first-ever Trial Domain, and not just any trial but a level 150 Trial Domain. Undoubtedly, this accomplishment would become the envy of many.
The challenges he encountered consisted primarily of puzzles and riddles, requiring a blend of courage and a bit of recklessness to solve, often feeling more like a gamble. He wondered who designed such a trial domain.
A perplexed grin spread across his face as the adrenaline from his last encounter still surged through his veins. His body remained tense, but as he glanced around, he noticed that the hundreds of figures surrounding him were gone.
The monsters had vanished without a trace, leaving him alone in the silence of the empty field. He sighed in relief, feeling the tension in his muscles begin to dissipate.
"But, where is my reward?" he asked himself quietly, turning his head in all directions. He then read the last part of the story snippet from the Trial Domain.
[The Dragon Princess lost her wings. But she was ready to take on her destiny.]
Broken voiced his confusion as he read the final lines of the story, "The Dragon Princess!? This is exactly what Freya suspected, it really relates to the plot of the downfall of the dragon race."
"But why does it say all of the dragons are gone, and only one remains?" he questioned aloud. "This doesn't seem right. Is the 'group' here referring to her royal family or her species? Do dragons have their own kingdom?"
"There's no way dragons are completely gone, they still exist in Yunatea," he asserted. "Or maybe this refers to their status no longer being as powerful as it once was."
The revelation hit Broken like a splash of cold water, his eyes widening in shock. "You were the King of the Kingdom of Dissidia?"
A resigned sigh escaped Elandorr. "Yes," he replied.
With a cracking voice, Elandorr spoke again, "There is something I must tell you. I am too weary to delve into the details. It concerns the Divine Champion's great war from ages ago."
"A great war? Please, tell me more," Broken implored.
Elandorr sighed, fatigue evident in every word. "I'm too lazy to recount the full history. You can uncover the details on your own. But tell me, is the Queen of the High Elves, the Pride Champion, still ruling today?"
Broken hesitated, uncertain of the timeline since that conflict and if the one Elandorr spoke of still ruled. "Your Majesty, I do not know her exact status after all this time. The Queen of the High Elves is indeed still a Pride Champion, but if she is that same Queen from your time, I'm
uncertain."
Elandorr barely stifled a yawn, his eyes nearly shut. "Alright, so she still lives. Your task will
be far from simple then."
"Task?" Broken echoed, perplexed.
Elandorr took a deep breath, his expression becoming more solemn. "You have shown yourself to be both courageous and honorable. It is now my duty to entrust you with a
significant legacy."
A spark of anticipation ignited in Broken's eyes as Elandorr began to outline the rewards he would earn for conquering the Trial Domain.
"Yes, sir, I have completed this Trial Domain with over nine million Courage Points. What kind of reward could I expect?" Broken inquired, barely able to contain his excitement. "Before we get to that," Elandorr said, "you should know that I was also a Sloth Champion, just like you. But I possessed strength far beyond what you have now. No, 'beyond' doesn't even begin to cover it-I was a lot, lot, lot, lot, lot more powerful than you."
"So, you are the legendary Sloth Champion from Dissidia Kingdom?! I am incredibly honored to meet you in person, Your Majesty," he exclaimed.
Elandorr's expression turned more intense. "I want to pass on an unfinished task to you. It is not merely a task to kill someone-it involves deities, and not just one, but several of them." "What?!" Broken's voice echoed in shock as he absorbed the gravity of Elandorr's words.
