[ DING!!! You have entered the trial of the Silver guardian.]

  [ Initiating battle mode, go, Schwarz, Xiansheng, and Alice.].

  'Wew, it really works. With this, finding the boss room will be no hassle, and the time for completing the trial will be a lot fastened.'

  In front of the group, a giant made of silver was standing with a sword in its hand.

  Graaaa~!!!

  " I'm sorry, dude, but not this time. Alice, Kaboom!"

  " Kaboom!!!"

  …


  *BOOM* *BOOM*-

  1200

  Griiii!!!.

  [ Silver Guardian]

  [ Hp: 0/5000]

  [ DING!!! Your party has defeated Silver Guardian, Schwarz exp +2000, Alice exp+4000, exp+3000, Bronze amulet]

  [ DING!!! You have completed the trial of Silver Guardian. Get the blessing of Silver.]

  [ DING!!! You have complete the sub-mission clear the trial of Silver guardian, exp+500].

  ' Counting the time we took for finding the boss room, it should be no more than 2 hours for us to complete this trial. A decent improvement from the last trial. Next is the Trial of bronze.'

  Ray and co, who just finished the trial of silver, didn't waste any time idling around. He had to complete all the trials today, so the group rushed into the next Sacred ruins.

  …


  [ DING!!! You have discovered the sacred ruin of bronze.]

  *Swoosh*

  Ray and co entered the sacred ruins, and the atmosphere changed differently from the outside.

  " There's no time to waste. Let's just use the explosion to aggro all the surrounding spirit beast."

  " Kaboom!!"

  ……


  [ DING!!! You have discovered the sacred ruin of gold.]

  Ray and co finished the trial of iron and trial of bronze in less than an hour. After knowing the strategy, the trial was a piece of cake for them, especially with the help of Alice's chain explosion.

  " KABOOM KABOOM!!!"

  Of course, the little spirit beast was the one enjoying this the most.

  During the last trial, she has gone a bit overboard.

  Even the voice came out and offer them the blessing of the trial in exchange for Alice not exploding the ruin, which Ray happily obliged……

  [ - Find the hidden ruins and finish the trial of guardian (0/1)]-

  ] finish the trial of stone guardian (1/1)-

  ] finish the trial of iron guardian (1/1)-

  ] finish the trial of bronze guardian (1/1)-

  ] finish the trial of silver guardian (1/1)-

  ] finish the trial of gold guardian (0/1).

  This trial of gold will be the last of the guardian's trials. If Ray's calculation was on point, Skye should be undergoing the trial right now.

  ' Hmm, let's go and see whether we could kill steal the boss. I want to see Skye's expression when he sees the boss he was fighting hard was stolen by me."

  Ray put on the invisible cap and chose to go alone this time. Bringing too many people would only let Skye notice something was wrong, so the best decision is to only brought Schwarz and let the others stay behind the boss room.

  …


  Inside the Trial of gold Boss room, Ray could see the Gold Guardian was battling a 4 meters tall humanoid spirit beast.

  ' Last time this spirit beast was just 2 meters, it seems Skye was indeed the protagonist. His growth rate was really terrifying.'

  Gugiga, who was battling the Gold guardian, was able to catch the gold guardian's arm. He grabbed the gold guardian's body and jumped high into the air.

  " Now Gugiga, use Air Suplex"

  "ROOOAAAAARRRR!!!!! Take this."

  The flying Gugiga lifted the guardian body in the air, and he slammed it down harshly to the ground.

  Rumble~!!!

  The Gold Guardian was roaring in anguish. The attack just now has taken most of his Hp, and just 1 more attack could take him down……

  [ Gold Guardian ]

  [ Hp: 100/5000 ].

  " Now is the time to end this. It was a good battle, Gold Guardian but everything has an end. You must be proud that you will be the stepping stone of…"

  *Swish*-

  120

  *Critical hit*.

  [ Gold Guardian ]

  [ Hp: 0/5000 ].

  Suddenly, a knife appeared out of nowhere and deal the finishing blow to the gold guardian.

  " Eh…"

  Skye shook his head in disbelief. He hasn't dealt the last blow yet, so why did this gold guardian has fallen down.

  And when he tried to observe the gold guardian carefully, a figure appeared from thinair.

  " Thanks for the effort, Skye. It's such a shame that, You can't see me."

  Dang, he was petrified when he noticed the man in front of him. It was the man he hated the most, the one who has stolen the Goddess rena and defiled her.

  " Ray!!!! You motherfucker!!"

  " Yes, I am your mother fucker."

  " Don't try to reason with me, Gugi quick, trash the sh*t of this guy."

  *Roar*

  Gugiga rushed to Ray with all his might, but it was too late.

  A bright layer of light covered everyone's body, and their image started to turn illusory.

  " Dear challenger, congratulations on completing all of the trials of guardian challenges. You have been proven worthy to inherit the flame of life."

  The voice faded away, and a small flame flew into Ray's hand……

  [ DING!!! You have completed the trial of Gold Guardian. Get the blessing of Gold.]

  [ Acquired the item: Flame of life (fragment)]

  [ DING!!! You have complete the sub-mission clear the trial of Gold guardian, exp+500]

  [ Congratulations to the host for completing the mission, clear the trial of guardian, exp +2000]

  [ The host's party will be teleported back to the outside of the ruin.].

  The bright light was getting brighter, and when Ray knew it, he was already teleported into the ruin entrance.

  " Ray!"

  " Kaboom!"

  Rena, who saw Ray was able to safely escape from the ruins, jumped into his embrace.

  Even though it was only for a while, the feeling of separation really made her miss this rotten guy.

  " Next time you must promise to bring me around. I would rather die if I'm not with you."

  [ DING!!! Rena Vermillion's affection +10]

  Ray looked at the beautiful girl in his embrace and chuckle. It seems he was getting the most out of this ruin exploration.

  The two were still enjoying their warm embrace when an unwanted figure came and disturb their joyful moment.

  " Ray!!! You and I, we cannot live under the same sky."
