Supreme Couple In Apocalypse: Undead King & Demonic Queen

Rabbits got stronger every time they stopped and sang their songs.

However, Erix, Rin, Lilith, Lily, Aria, Isabella, Nira, Sameira, and Kenshin always managed to break through their skills and art of combat because they continuously clashed and exhausted them by countering the increasingly stronger rabbits each round.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

They made use of the terrain or prepared structural skills to trap and exhaust them to get a boost from climate while making it such that it countered the rabbit's new traits after every singing session.

The hidden pieces were very easy to find because of Erix.

He also created a formidable comprehensive Eye-type ability. This Eye type was perception-type, detect-type, tracker-type, and various activities that could be done with the Eyes via the Vision and the Sense.

The purpose and the required capabilities to achieve that purpose were all that mattered.

Because Space was his realm, he reined in terms of gathering information about the world, be it in a maze, a trap, or a game of exotic like the ones currently occurring.

Their proficiency of Aethir's attributes were shooting up and by the time they finished 90% of the trial, they had already reached the next realm in the use of all six of Aethir's attributes!

If they measured their current skills in the skill measurement stones, their average skill stage would be 7 and 8!

In the 8th hour of the Trial, they nailed the task as they successfully put 500 melody pieces in the hidden slots!

However, there was still one more task left.

Finding the Hidden Moon chamber for extra rewards.

"Let's go. I've already marked all anomaly spots that could lead us to the Hidden Moon chamber," Erix said before he shared the map the Rin and others, as they saw the route.

"So we got 6 spots to check? Good," Lily smiled and nodded. "We have enough time."

"Two hours is enough indeed," Isabella said.

However, everyone had amusing jolly expressions after just five minutes as they arrived at the spot.

The first spot they checked turned out to be the Hidden Moon chamber!

They quickly solved the puzzle in a few minutes and put the trial to an end.

This trial was actually at a rating of 7.5 out of 10 in terms of difficulty!

Aside from Nira in the group, Erix, Rin, Lilith, Lily, Aria, Isabella, Sameira, and Kenshin were practically newbies in terms of skills!

Their skills' average stage was at 6, so fighting in this trial and constantly improving caused their average skill stage to be 7 to 8!

The increasing difficulty pushed them to their limits and forced them to improve their proficiency to create better skills and improve their combat!

This Trial of Moonhunt Serenade was tough even for veterans because it required quick thinking and creative quickness to counter constantly evolving rabbits.

Of course, the average group out there also wouldn't have such an array of unique Bloodline prowess and Elemental arsenal like Erix and others.

Still, it was their talent of thirst that was making them progress fast, and at their core stood none other than Rin and Erix, with their energy turning others who spend time with them also invoke that thirst.

That's why the internal competitiveness also boosted their progression!

As the trial came to an end, the group saw the scenery changing and they suddenly arrived back at the pond where they found this trial's gate.

At the same time, the announcements of rewards rang in their heads.

[You have gained 1 x Wish Reward. You can use it at any time.]

"Oh? This is great. It's like having a higher version of Insight Scroll," Erix grinned.

Everyone couldn't help but nod, excited.

Afterward, each one received a different notification because the second reward was an individual one-time use Artifact!

[As these are your first Artifacts, they will not be a one-time use. You can use them multiple times at consumption of your energy. But when you get more Artifacts, you can only keep one out of them that can be used multiple times.]

"Eh? This is kinda cool," Erix was surprised.

"Yeah, though let's see what kind of Artifact and their effects are," Rin nodded as she eagerly checked out the Artifact she just got after she finished speaking.

Everyone also received the notification getting an Artifact that appeared right inside their Origin Region.

[You have gained Wristwatch of Tenmax.]

Erix got a lame-named watch, but its effect was anything but lame!

[Wristwatch of Tenmax]

_Aritfact rank: A

_Effect: Upon pressing the side button, a 5-kilometer area around you will proceed to go back in time for 1 second every half a second you keep the button held. Each second, the consumption will increase by 2 or more folds - (minus) the efficiency of your Chakra flow.

_Consumption: 100 Chakra.

Chakra was an energy created by combining Soul Energy and Prana. Everyone could also create a limited reserve of Chakra, but this reserve couldn't stay still like other energies.

Chakra had to be flowed all the time in one's body. In short, one's physical body determined how much Chakra one could keep.

'Interesting,' Erix's eyes glinted as he looked at the effects and used it after creating a Chakra Pool to circulate in his body. He could hold up to 350,000 Chakra, but he could only create 95k Chakra in a single session.

Since it required Soul Energy, and his Soul Energy pool was barely 95k compared to his Prana pool which was 350k.

As he pressed the button, the time within 5 kilometers started reversing and he could see that with the girls' actions, they were going back in time.

Of course, his consumption also increased each second.

-100 Chakra.

-356 Chakra.

-840 Chakra.

But as his efficiency of flow got better, the consumption stabilized after 2 seconds.

-1550 Chakra.

-3105 Chakra.

-6320 Chakra.

-14291 Chakra.

'What's going on, Erix?' Rin was surprised. She was able to resist the physical time reversal because of her mastery of Time.

'Did you use your Artifact? It's powerful!' Aria was surprised. 'Can't resist.'

'Time Reversal, eh?' Kenshin's laugh rang in the spiritual chat. 'My artifact is related to Time as well.'

'So this affects physical time reversal in an area. Our consciousness can still sense the present,' Sameira nodded. 'Its use is comprehensive.'

'Yeah, we can use it in any situation to our advantage or to escape from a predicament,' Lily said. Your journey continues on empire

Erix stopped after 3.5 seconds because he didn't want to empty his Chakra Pool. He was already at 0 Soul energy since he used all of it to create Chakra, though it was recovery naturally every second.

"What did you all get?" Erix asked.

"Check this out," Rin took out a black cage and shared its details.

[Magic Cage]

_Artifact Rank: B+

_Effect: You can trap any kind of supernatural phenomenon in the cage, but only 1 at a time. It can be a natural magical phenomenon, a magic tree, portals to any phenomenon, an ally's skill, an enemy's attack, etc. After trapping, you can release it at any time. The trapped phenomenon will be standstill in space-time inside the cage.

_Cost: 1000 to 30,000 Chakra.

_Note: The strength of the phenomenon also determines if this cage can trap it. It can't trap the effects of higher-ranked Artifacts' effects.

"Nice, this is useful!" Isabella exclaimed and took out her artifact with a broad smile. "Especially with mine."

She shared the details and everyone couldn't help but chuckle at how Isabella's and Rin's artifacts complemented each other!

Her Artifact was a palm-sized beautiful wooden box with gems and other kinds of aesthetically pleasing patterns.

[Pandora's Box]

_Artifact Rank: B

_Effect: Upon opening the box, it will release two types of things.

—> 1. A Treasure Monster that could be life-threatening, but gives exotic rewards including, but not limited to Wish Reward crystal if you kill it!

—> 2. A phenomenon of a random Event, Trial, or Challenge. But this can only remain for 5 minutes. If you do not enter in five minutes, the portal will disappear.

_Note: You can open Pandora's box every 12 hours.

"I like this, alright. Use it now so that Rin can trap whatever it releases," Erix grinned. "Since Pandora's Box is ranked at B, Rin's Magic Cage can trap whatever comes out of it…hopefully."

"Yep, hopefully," Nira wryly smiled. "I am also not sure because things like these are not certain even though I know general information about War of Thrones."

"I think it can," Aria nodded as her eyes sparkled at the Pandora's box. "Also, the box is so beautiful."

"Opening it," Isabella put her hand on the box and touched a ruby crystal in the center. It pressed inside before the box opened as black miasma spread out before converging 5 meters away from Isabella and started taking a certain shape.

"Let's see," Rin murmured, ready to see if she would be able to store this.
