Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse novel Chapter 100

Chapter 100 - A Tremendous Opportunity II

My mind moved rapidly as I counted the auras I could feel in the surroundings. My eyes shifted with [Regal Archer’s Eyes] active as I tried to look into every nook and cranny of the dangerous locations. More than twelve powerful auras were in the large clearing, their bodies emitting stupid levels of power as they began to circle around me.

I calmed my breathing at this unexpected and possibly perilous situation as my large incarnation grasped the long blade tighter, my skills ready to move at the slightest movement. [Instant Transfer] could be used to move me to another location I could see, but the entire area was enclosed with no exits in sight.

There were dense foliage and frozen surfaces all around as I could make out the varying sizes of beasts circling me. Their menacing eyes honed in as I felt movement once more, this time I watched the beasts I had been fighting with appearing one after another. The extremely fat [Walrus] materialized first, with the [Arctic Wolf] after, and finally, the [Emperor Penguin] that had the skill that allowed for all of this to happen.

The air was palpitating with roiling essence as I prepared to fight for my life and find a chance to slip through this encirclement. The penguin looked towards me with its head raised disdainfully when a clear voice suddenly rang out in the surroundings.

"You are a peculiarity."

My eyes searched to see where the voice was coming from as my thoughts rapidly moved, but I could not find the source of the voice.

"When you first appeared on this Land, you were very weak and surrounded by others just like you. Yet, every time you returned after that you had grown significantly stronger, strong enough to even take out one of the contenders here. What exactly are you?"

The voice was sonorous and strong, being seemingly feminine. I didn’t reply and only continued to keep my focus at the many surrounding beasts. If I saw the slightest signs, I would summon the Plague Bearer and turn this entire area into a land of poison and try to make an escape for now.

I didn’t know what other powerful skills these beasts had in their arsenal, the skill that teleported me here making me extremely cautious. The voice rang out once again.

"Oh well, it doesn’t really matter. You taking down one of the contenders with your own power qualifies you for the trial currently taking place."

At these words, my tension slightly calmed as I wondered just exactly what I had gotten into. I probingly asked, _{freeweɓnovēl.coɱ}

"A trial of what?"

The beasts around me reigned in their wild auras as a disdainful voice came from the [Emperor Penguin] this time.

"You humans do not know of the secrets and intricacies of the special locations of the Beast World. These Spiritual Lands you call nests and routinely come to bully those weaker than you are trial grounds meant to give birth to the toughest beasts."

What? My mind absorbed this brand new information as I continued to listen. I was finally able to find the source of the first voice as it rang out once again, this time from a transparent red figure materializing in the air.
