Chapter 188: How about Laughing Alligator Forest?
"Who is Eve?" Nyla asked as the girl never heard about the Elven Monarch Beast.
"She is Rio's Partner who helps him with her power," Lia said in a short sentence, a mysterious glint flickered in her eyes as she remembered the conversation she had with the monarch beast.
"Nyla, what level of the black-stage AI monster would be there at the island for our National Military school tournament?" Rio asked, thinking if he was strong enough to handle the hurdles in the competition since they were only two on the team.
"Last time, they were at most King tier of the Black stage but those robots aren't the problem. We have to worry about the other teams from various military schools that would want to snatch our points and resources for better ranking as they would be greater in numbers and may collaborate to go against us." Nyla explained as she had a bitter experience the last time she participate in the national military school tournament.
"They won't be able to find out about your resources as you have spatial storage to hide them there. You just need to worry about how you two will sleep on the island." Lia mumbled.
"Hey, Partner I have a solution." Eve's jolly voice sounded in his mind.
The boy raised his eyebrows, and asked inwardly in a relaxed voice, "What solution?"
"If you inherit the next spell from me that's going to unlock at the black stage then you will be able to come inside the wonderous forest realm along with your girls to live just like how you keep things here," Eve said, she was going to let him have a chance to unseal the next level spell that she was going to give him in future.
"And how would I unlock my next spell even without reaching the black stage?" the boy asked in thought as he was interested in this power to live inside the wonderous forest realm where he once entered when he went to give the trial and met the Elven Monarch Beast.
"Right now you're strong enough to kill a normal black stage beast and These girls will also help you if you ask them for help. You just need to provide me with twenty black stage cores. " Eve revealed the method as she wanted to help him and knew they only had thirteen days' time to prepare for the national military school tournament.
Rio thought carefully if he should ask these beauties for help or not and bother them with his business but thinking they had limited time he decided to reveal this piece of news.
"I can unlock a spatial spell that would let me live inside the wonderous forest realm along with Nyla but I will require to collect twenty black stage cores to have this power." He mumbled, looking at the two girls who were sitting in front of him.
The blonde-haired beauty who was beside him on the same couch, said, "Does the beast need to be killed by you or do you just need the black-stage cores?"
Helia thought if he only needed the black-stage cores then she could've easily got them for him but if it was the first case then that would be not that easy.
"Partner, Tell her. You have to kill the beast yourself," Eve's voice sounded in his mind as she informed him in his thoughts.
"Yeah." Rio nodded.
"It will take some time to get that many black-stage cores, but we might able to do it before your tournament starts if you're strong enough to make the killing blow.
Nyla had to put too much effort to kill the beast even when I helped her so I doubt if you will really be able to do it when you're only at the purple stage." Helia said as she remembered her adventure experience with the Magenta-haired beauty.
When the blonde-haired beauty took Nyla with her on the adventure in the corrupted land, she injured the beast but Nyla still had to execute the killing blow in order to receive the black-stage cores that she could absorb for raising her stats.
However, Nyla's overall strength wasn't enough to penetrate the beast's defense easily, and if Helia used a little too much strength the beast died.
The boy was fortunate as he had a silver-bloom sword that was king tier and also he had the advantage for double white stage stats points along with double yellow stage stats points.
"You shouldn't worry about killing the black-stage beast. I can supercharge my skills, remember?" Rio spoke as he reminded her of their battle arena training battle where he almost injured her.
"I can come along and help if there is a problem," Lia said as she wanted to help Rio to unlock this skill that was going to let them enter the wonderous forest realm where he would be able to live with Nyla during his time at the island and wouldn't have to worry about camping stuff or guarding in the night.
"I'm enough to handle those black-stage beasts and his battle art techniques should also help to make the killing blow. I was just thinking about which place we should go hunting these beasts for his core farming. We need a beast that doesn't have a high level of defense or doesn't have higher agility so they don't evade his overcharged skills." Helia said as she didn't want Lia to worry about these minor issues that she could handle alone.
"How about Laughing Alligator Forest?" Lia said, She remembered a place in the corrupted land that met the requirement of the black-stage beast they were looking for.
"Ah... No, not that place." The lioness said as she had bitter memories about that place.
