Chapter 124: Reunion, Confrontation, And Finally The Trigger

Within the snowy Plains of the coldest climate, ever felt stands two opposing swords pointed at each side. Wielded by two profound genius that we’re acknowledging their opponent’s mastery within the blade. One of them believes the principle of the sword that bears the wielder’s emotions enhances its power altogether. While the other beliefs in the art of stillness and formless slash with not a single bit of her emotions to be poured within the blade that she honed until she trusted her life within the power that manifested within her work

“What’s wrong… Is that all you got? Don’t forget that once you’ve come across a Lander you should know pretty well what that applies. Now tell me how much you’ve grown over these years of my absence,” In front of her was the same unique sword style that she hoped to topple when she first laid her eyes on its power. A blade that succumbed to the emotions of its wielder, had a gentle feeling within every slash created

“Bluargh!!? Of course, I remember, greetings of the Lander family set aside friendly matters and wield your blade to test your kin… Still, you look like you’ve gotten soft over the years I remember that you were so violent when it comes to training me,” Only a simple greeting yet she puked out a ton of blood within a single minute of their exchanges with one another. Their bodies were freezing at an incredible rate and without their clothing, they would slowly weaken as time passes only the blade and a few clothes to cover their bodies that weren’t enough to withstand the harsh climate

Shrouded within the force created by the system they were locked without any interference from the outside world. At that particular moment, they were not siblings only warriors that would test each other’s strengths and battle prowess. Silence would consume their battlefield once they said what need to be told, with piercing gazes and calculated movements. They injected every ounce of their remaining mana into their feet and leap upon releasing the force that created a crack within their previous location

“Get ready to taste my wrath, Silas!” She moved forward with no hesitation in her movement and a form that was greatly suited for a swordsman to clash with one another

“Show me your progress, Esther, make me feel the power of the Lander bloodline coursing throughout your veins,” Silas wasn’t in opposition to her choices they both wanted to feel the power they had acquired throughout the years of their separation from one another. Quick and ruthless, calm yet still the two different techniques clashed with each other, their movements were close to being unperceivable by the naked eye. With every swing, their swords pierced through the air would move to an incredibly fast yet reactive attack

Donning their chosen blades that we’re different yet perfectly visualize their wielder, a huge and heavy sword that shows the might of the elder sibling. And a small yet thin blade that perfectly shows her quick-witted and calculating side as the younger sibling, their swords clashes would create a raging roar that even the clouds below them would react to their pressure. With the strength of each side, they pushed forward toward their goals to strike down their foes and reach the top

Yet one shows the lack of experience on the battlefield, in the end, not a single soul would think that the two of them would achieve a draw. Everyone already knew of the elder sibling as a veteran that lived most of his life on the edge, yet the thing that there forgotten about was that the battle wasn’t about one’s power. With each cut placed within their bodies, it gave them a point that would be recorded by the system they weren’t able to keep track of the number since every second it would change again and again. She might’ve lost the fight but won the war, she didn’t try to use any flash attacks that would endanger her body and kept on the same pace as her opponent

[System: The custom match has ended, the number of cuts will now be calculated by the system. The number of cuts on side A is 63, and the number of cuts on the side, B is 63 the outcome has been concluded the match is a draw for both sides. If you are not satisfied with the results please consult the system, may you have a great day]

“Haha, I wasn’t able to win at least I got a draw,” Before her body would fall to the ground she was swept from her feet and carried by her sibling with a huge and beaming smile on his face

“That’s impressive I knew you could do it as long as you tried, I might look im the same age as you. But I’ve been stuck on the Trials that I only age within my outside appearance is still the same as when I disappeared, for that, I might be at the age of 25. You’re 17 that haven’t even reached the age of adulthood and you’ve managed to have a draw with the person that was once called a prodigy. That’s a great feat even for you, im glad that I can see you again Esther,” After their family greeting was over his strict and composed personality would shift to a loving brother. He doted on his sister to the point where he even carried her toward Blake worried that she might contract any injuries if not taken care of immediately

“I’ll be fine, I’ve heard that you wanted to have a chat with Morris right? Jin will open the scroll he placed on Blake’s inventory, so you shouldn’t have to trouble yourself on finding your way to that place,” Esther stands back up after she was carried near the medical tent Blake placed within the reach of their battlefield. Along with the arrival of their doctor that finished his research with the herbs persevered for a thousand years

“Hello, their eldest Lander my research has been finalized after I took a large portion of herbs to run my test. I’m a little curious as to why you wanted to meet Mr. Morris even though we’ve told you countless times that his a busy man, well I can’t believe that he made some time for your visit. Whatever the reason may be for accepting your request for a meeting I don’t have any questions, remember that we look up to him the most if something were to happen to him. Even being related to one of our members would still make you suffer but don’t worry you won’t die in the process,” Within that facade, he displayed in Silas’s arrival he could feel the irregularities within his body

Something that no normal human would possess in the slightest, making him wary of his movements even to the point where he threatened him. Before he was given the portable scroll that would later become a portal within the other side was Jin that guided him to Morris’s room. Filled a bunch of books to every corner that he darted his attention and at the center was a Black haired man wearing a robe that’s similar to the one worn by the most popular topic of them all

[Leader Of Enigma: Christoper Morris

Alias: Spell thief, Dual-class player, Masked menace, Murderer in black

Traits: Calculative, Unfair, Trickster

Gender: Male

Race: Human, Outsider

Class: None

Weaponry: Staff]

“I’ve heard you wanted to meet me. It must be my lucky day that you haven’t swung a fist at my face after you were subjected to the nightmare room. Nice to finally meet you Silas im Christopher Morris, the leader of Enigma a private mercenary group that belonged to Agni Felgir,” He closed the book he was reading upon noticing his presence even leaning toward his guest for a handshake

“Don’t be absurd, I’ve heard the whole thing and found out it was my sister’s doing, I can’t blame her for my absence. Ahem sorry about I just wanted to make sure you know that my purpose isn’t to ask for an apology, the real reason why I’m here is the secret hidden from the players. That chose this biome that later thought it was a dead end,” The two of them took a seat after he accepted his handshake along with conveying the reason for his arrival

’Looks like im the not only the one who thought it was a little fishy that we’ve found no lead whatsoever even after we’ve searched the entirety of the first floor. Nevertheless, this place was revealed by the mysterious necklace, even though Gaust’s personality doesn’t matter in the world of trials. I wonder what other kind of reason why I was given that message there must be something that’s sealed within this place,’

Before they could continue to convey each side’s theory an entity appeared before them to announce that most of their conclusions were true

[System: The Beginner GM [Kishar] has appeared before the players]

“Looks like I’ve found a few quick-witted players within the world of trials, it’s as you say that huge towering ice castle from afar. Is the real biome of the three, congratulations for being one of the luckiest people to have entered this place. Im sorry if I didn’t give you any kind of reward for your magnificent feat, I was handling the other biome, and later found out that the real passageway to third become has been revealed. Like you imagined it to be the ancient ruins were a ploy to fool the ones that were dumb enough to listen to anyone’s advice, now I shall announce to the system and the players the real form of the ancient ruins so as to reveal its location to the ones that haven’t chosen so far,”

With a flash of light between the two Kishar disappeared along with a message for the players that arrived first and the second to receive a gift. As well as the reveal of the true form of the ancient ruins as the preserved world that was home to the Frostherus

[System: You’ve obtained 10 unused stat points, the trigger has now been found the real form of the ancient ruins has been revealed to be the preserved world]

[Story quest: With the first people to have found the clue of the disappearance of the neighboring Frostherus shelter. They found a key that leads to the frozen kingdom home to many vicious beasts and monsters alike]
