28 Chapter28-Trial Result - Breaking the Limit?! Consecutive "First Kills" Broadcast
As Jason's voice faded, an army materialized!
The first boss hadn't even realized what was happening before it was battered into near-death by a combined assault of Ice Crystal Bursts from the Frost Liches.
Then, a charge from the Death Knights sent it to its demise.
On the panel in front of Jason, a slew of data appeared.
[Trial Score: Kill +1000]
The next second, the light flared again.
This time, two heavily armored mammoths, level 40 BOSSes, appeared.
Jason hardly had to lift a finger as the ranged units took turns unleashing their might, a wave of output directly dispatching them.
...
The third wave...
The fourth wave...
...
The tenth wave...
...
The nineteenth wave...
It wasn't until the twentieth wave that Jason began to feel a hint of pressure.
[Great Spirit·Fire]
[Category: BOSS]
[Level: 65]
[Great Spirit·Water]
[Category: BOSS]
[Level: 65]
[Great Spirit·Thunder]
[Category: BOSS]
[Level: 65]
Facing three level 65 BOSSes simultaneously, all elemental beings, even the melee units would continuously lose health just by standing nearby.
Jason commanded coolly, with the Dragonsepulcher Sentinel initiating its semi-dragon transformation to withstand the first wave.
Following that, the Subspecies Bone Dragon and Death Knights took turns absorbing damage...
Crucially, the Bloodseeker's ranged attacks continuously weakened the defense, rapidly depleting the three bosses' HP until they finally fell...
...
The battles that followed were essentially a repetition of this cycle.
The Trial Ground of the Gods was designed with Jason, an ordinary level 29 player in mind, who shouldn't possess any high-tier units, let alone have enough Command Limit to field many.
But in reality...
Jason's highest-tier unit was a 7-tier skeletal dragon knight, with doubled attributes, plus equipment skills and Death Acolyte's buffs, along with various skills to weaken the bosses.
Slicing through enemies like butter, even bosses with tens of millions of HP fell quickly!
Jason's Trial Score skyrocketed, surged, and soared!
Time flew by.
After a whole half day, Jason watched as the combination of two level 100 BOSSes fell before him, looking around somewhat bewildered.
No... no more spawns?
He reopened his Trial Score.
"Holy...??"
The score column showed a straight 9999999.
Then, the system notification appeared.
[Trial Score: 9999999+1470000]
[Trial Score: 9999999]
"Huh?" Jason was also stunned. What was happening?
The score stopped moving, or did I just max out the limit?
He vaguely recalled the situation in his past life when the Trial Ground of the Gods was first entered by players half a year after the game's launch, by which time the average player level was already quite high.
And after that, players continued to challenge the Trial Ground successively until the game merged with reality, yet the highest record was only around 3 million Trial Score.
The player who achieved such a high score was directly rewarded with an SSS-level class transition item.
Jason came here targeting the relatively lower difficulty due to his own low level, plus having the Bloodseeker which was particularly effective against bosses.
He initially wondered if he could break that record of 3 million...
Not only did he break it, but he also seemed to have broken the Trial Score system itself.
"Could it be that I still underestimated the extremity of the [Undead Plague] talent?" Jason couldn't help but comment.
At this moment, the grand system announcement that had started in the Trial Ground, seemed to stutter like a broken record.
[This… this… this is astonishing!]
[Unprecedented, unrivaled!]
[Oh gods, such a magnificent challenger has appeared, yet you still refuse to cast your gaze here? Why is this so?]
[Has this Trial Ground truly been abandoned by you?]
[No! No! I cannot accept this!!]
With a bizarre roar, the system announcement abruptly cut off.
Jason was baffled, wondering, did I just break this dungeon?
Well, it wasn't intentional.
Fortunately, in the next second, light flared before his eyes, and he was teleported back to the church.
However, the system notification sounded in his ear, and a pile of rewards was directly stuffed into his inventory.
...
Meanwhile, in the Everdawn region, Flamecrest City.
"Mr. Loveryes, regarding our future cooperation intentions…" a player representing the official Everdawn authorities was about to speak when,
[Valoria Server player [Smith], the first to clear the special event dungeon [Trial Ground of the Gods]…]
[Valoria Server player [Smith], the first to clear the special event dungeon [Trial Ground of the Gods]…]
[Valoria…]
…
"Damn! It's that Smith again, what did he do this time?"
"There's no difficulty level mentioned, just that it's a special dungeon, the rewards must be substantial, right?"
"How does Valoria keep coming up with such freakishly talented players?"
…
The elite players from the Everdawn and Celestria officials couldn't help but whisper among themselves, thankfully they had been shocked by [Smith]'s astonishing performances many times before and had gradually gotten used to it.
So, the Everdawn player began again, "As for our cooperation…"
[Valoria Server player [Smith], clears [Trial Ground of the Gods] with a million-level score…]
[Valoria Server player [Smith], clears [Trial Ground of the Gods] with a million-level score…]
…
The system notification sounded again.
And the people present were even more unsettled, a million-level score sounded incredible, and regardless of its actual value, a server-wide broadcast by the system meant there were first-kill rewards.
Thinking about the terrifying gains Valoria's players were getting made everyone present feel uneasy.
Thankfully, the Everdawn officials managed to find some humor in the situation, knowing that their cooperation was now more crucial than ever.
And the Celestria player, Loveryes, also took the initiative to speak, "Our cooperation…"
[Valoria Server player [Smith], breaks the score limit in [Trial Ground of the Gods]…]
[Valoria Server player [Smith], breaks the score limit in [Trial Ground of the Gods]…]
….
The communication between the players of the two nations was interrupted yet again.
Three times! Three times!
Finally, at the meeting, someone bitterly said,
"What's even the point of us playing anymore!"
...
Of course, it wasn't just the officials from Everdawn and Celestria who were shocked.
The three consecutive first-kill announcements had already made a huge impact across the entire server.
The name [Smith] was being brought up frantically.
And on Valoria's official Twitter, inquiries flooded in, with many Valorians proudly asking, "Is Smith our country's secret weapon, winning us supremacy in Divine Age, this second world?!"
...
Meanwhile, Jason was also somewhat dazed.
He hadn't expected the rewards to explode to this extent, perhaps because he had played the trial ground system to its breaking point. Jason's reward was—
To choose any three items from the Trial Ground's treasures.
Jason also received a message, directly through the system notification in that grand voice,
[I don't know why the gods no longer watch over the Trial Ground, nor do I understand why, over the years, no other challenger has appeared besides you. Perhaps this Trial Ground has long lost its purpose.]
After hearing this, Jason had a weird expression.
So, his choice of any three rewards was not just because of his good performance, but also because the owner of the Trial Ground had lost hope?
Too bad they don't know, in Divine Age, half a year after launch, when the Trial Ground of the Gods was first discovered...
Afterward, this place was busier than a supermarket on Black Friday.
Of course, Jason couldn't be bothered with all that for now, as he excitedly began to choose his rewards from the treasure vault.
Aside from an SSS-level class transition item, he picked out two things.
One was [Divine Summons (SS)].
Indeed, an item that allowed for the selection of a near-top-tier hero.
The other was an epic-tier Antiquity.
[Antiquity: Card of Fate]
[tier: epic-tier]
[Enhancement Stage: 11]
[Effect: All soldiers have their probability-triggered skills activate at a 100% chance.]
[Skills:
[Gold Rush]: Passive effect, every time you clear a dungeon, exterminate a Monster Lair, or kill a BOSS, there's a high chance of rare rewards appearing.
[Fate]: Upon activation, gain an extensive range of true sight, allowing you to choose and freely teleport within the area. When acquiring loot, you can open a list of possible drops and select one to definitely drop, with a cooldown of one week.]
