Chapter 223: The Winner of the Bet

"Ugh…" Kain couldn't help groaning due to the large hole in his abdomen caused by the previous trial.

After exhausting both of his instant refills, he'd managed to reach trial number 12. After the 10th trial, there was a large spike in difficulty, therefore after just barely finishing the 11th and 12th trials, he was eliminated at trial 13.

Kain was pleased. His journey into the relic had been quite rewarding and he was managing to walk away with a variety of spiritual plants, ores, and evolutionary materials for both Eve/Queen and Aegis. Thankfully, the evolutionary material that he hadn't selected in the first trial was his reward for completing trial 10.

However, he had no idea how he compared to his peers.

'It'd be pretty embarrassing if I was one of the earliest ones to be eliminated.' He thought while eating some of the royal jelly to mend the massive wound on his abdomen since being transported out of the relic.
