'I should check out my spoils of war.'
While lying beside the corpse of the Goblin Captain, Aeon was excited about his gains.
Just as Aeon was about to calculate his spoils of war, the Grimoire of Life and Death flew to him and opened the [Communication Page].
[Communication Page]
[The temporary owner has killed a Goblin Captain]
[Trial Progress has been updated by 10]
[Overall Kill Count: 20 / 1000]
[1) Goblins: 20 /100]
'What? A single Goblin Captain is counted as 10 monsters?'
For a moment, Aeon was pleasantly surprised to see the drastic increase in the Kill Count of the trial.
'Is it because a Goblin Captain is two major realms higher than a Goblin Soldier that it is counted as 10 monsters?'
However, when Aeon thought about it, he more or less guessed the reason behind it.
[Communication Page]
[Killing a Soldier Realm Monster increases the Trial's Kill Count by 1]
[Killing a Sergeant Realm Monster increases the Trial's Kill Count by 5]
[Killing a Captain Realm Monster increases the Trial's Kill Count by 10]
[As the rank of the monster increases, the Trial's Kill Count also increases drastically. So, all the best in killing the higher-ranked monsters]
[Of course, not all higher-ranked monsters won't be severely injured and in the middle of a ritual for you to kill like how you killed the poor Goblin Captain]
Once again, the Grimoire of Life and Death showed many lines which made Aeon a little bit excited to kill the higher-ranked monsters.
However, when he read the last line, Aeon fell back to his reality.
'The most important thing is to stay alive.'
For Aeon, even if it takes a bit of time, he is willing to wait and slowly complete the trial because he has the most important thing to do back in his world.
'Completing this trial makes me become the True Master of the Grimoire of Life and Death, which in turn makes me more powerful. So, whether it takes a year or 10 years to complete the trial, I will be careful and just kill the Soldier Realm Monsters.'
Just because Aeon was able to kill a Goblin Captain, he didn't become arrogant as he was clear about his own strength and decided to focus mainly on killing the Goblin Soldiers.
'Anyway, let's calculate my spoils of war.'
Soon, Aeon stopped thinking about those things and focused on the current situation.
The first and foremost thing he gained was obviously the cave. With this cave, Aeon could have an easy time cultivating while hiding from the other monsters.
'It was just one thing but I will be getting many rewards. As I gained another excellent thing.'
Aeon turned his head to see the green-coloured pendant around the Goblin Captain's neck and revealed an excited smile on his face.
A blue-grade artifact was not something that could be available for normal cultivators back in his city. Moreover, it was a special one with a skill that could increase Aeon's survival rate in the Trial Realm of Life and Death.
'Even though I can't use the effect or the special skill of the [Pendant of Protection] today, let's wear it and let the Grimoire of Life and Death consume the Goblin Captain's corpse.'
Since Aeon made sure to use all the five protections of the special skill of the Pendant, the artifact became useless…at least for the day.
Nevertheless, Aeon could make full use of it as he hurriedly took the pendant and wore it without any hesitation.
After that, Aeon searched the Goblin Captain's body to see whether there were any useful things on him.
'I think I should be happy to get a Blue-Grade Artifact from him.'
However, Aeon didn't find anything useful…not even a single Goblin Essence Crystal on the Goblin Captain's body except for an old diary which Aeon tossed aside.
'Grimoire, do your thing.'
Since there was nothing left on the corpse, Aeon ordered the Grimoire of Life and Death to devour the corpse.
Adding to the seven Goblin Soldiers' corpses, Aeon would be getting eight gifts from the Grimoire of Life and Death.
'Compared to the first seven gifts, I am more curious and excited about the gift that I would be receiving by offering the Goblin Captain's corpse.'
As a Captain Realm Monster, it was a common thing for anyone to expect a good gift in return and Aeon was not exceptional.
[Communication Page]
[The temporary owner offered a Goblin Captain's corpse to the Grimoire of Life and Death. A Gift will be given soon]
[Blessing Page]
[The second blessing [Devour Effect] has been triggered and the temporary owner is blessed with a temporary ability to cast a spell [Goblinfire Bolt] once]
'What? It blessed me with an ability to cast a spell?'
Looking at the row of words on the Blessing Page, Aeon was shocked.
By offering the corpses to the Grimoire of Life and Death, Aeon would not only get a gift, but he would also trigger his second blessing which would temporarily bless him with something.
Until now, it was only giving him temporary effects like an increase in his agility by 5 percent per corpse of a Goblin Soldier and for the first time, it gave him an ability.
Even that didn't shock Aeon because he was expecting something like that as he offered a Captain Realm Monster Corpse.
'Even though monsters could become Mages before the Captain Realm, humans could only become Mages when they become the Life Blood Captains.'
However, Aeon was able to gain an ability to cast a spell which was unique to Life Blood Captains.
'It might be a temporary ability which I can only use once, but the greatest thing is, I can use it when I am still a Life Blood Soldier.'
Thinking about it, Aeon became excited and hurriedly checked the information on the spell he could temporarily cast.
