Floating Island - Triple S Talent

"Wait..." Lein was surprised to see Nita\'s sudden hug. But it was too late, Nita was already hugging him tightly.

"Nita... enough, enough... you\'re making me suffocate."

"Uekk... ughhh."

"Hahaha... sorry, sorry." Nita released her hug and then sat back down to calm herself.

She then recounted everything that had happened, from the beginning to the end. She also mentioned the special treatment explained by the university rector, which she had refused.

"It\'s alright... do it as long as it makes you happy," Lein encouraged her.

"By the way, do the promotion now, Nita."

"When you enter, monsters will come continuously for 1 hour."

"Each monster you kill will drop Altar core, useful for forming a Soul Altar. Collect as many as you can."

Lein continued explaining all the details of the core formation trial to Nita. He also told her about the usual completion rates: regular, gold, king, and universe levels.

"So, do you have any questions?" Lein asked Nita at the end of his explanation.

"No, brother. It\'s all clear." Nita shook her head and opened the trial panel.

[The Sovereign will enter the trial (core formation), are you sure?]

"Yes."

After Nita confirmed the trial, she disappeared without any effects, just like Lein earlier.

"Good luck..."

Lein could only hope his sister could reach the king level. He himself had only achieved the universe level completion thanks to his duplication talent.

***

In a vast green meadow, Nita observed her surroundings carefully. She was not worried and seemed to understand everything. Her brother\'s explanation had been very helpful.

[The trial (core formation) has begun. Countdown of 1 hour starts now.]

Time left: 59:58

Time left: 59:47

Soon, a strange crow-shaped monster appeared. The crow\'s flight height was neither too high nor too low.

[Black Cloud Crow]

- Attribute: STR +1000, INT +1000, AGI +1000, RES +1000

- Skills: (Cloud Poison), (Sharp Wings), (Crow Illusion)

Nita didn\'t let a second pass; she immediately drew her bow and aimed it at the four-winged crow monster in front of her.

Siu...sii...

The black arrow shot out very quickly, and the black cloud crow looked shocked when it felt a small arrow lodged in its chest. Not long after the arrow hit the crow, it exploded, shattering the crow\'s body into pieces of flesh.

[Successfully killed (Black Cloud Crow), obtained Altar core]...

The first crow died in just 3 seconds. Shortly after, the same type of crow appeared in greater numbers.

[Black Cloud Crow]

- Attribute: STR +1100, INT +1100, AGI +1100, RES +1100

- Skills: (Cloud Poison), (Sharp Wings), (Crow Illusion)

Siu...si...

Everything was as her brother had explained. Nita didn\'t hold back and used her strongest skills to defeat the crow monsters in front of her as quickly as she could. Skill cooldowns were not a problem thanks to the time ring artifact that reduced all skill cooldowns by 80%.

...

[Successfully killed (Black Cloud Crow), obtained Altar core]...

[Successfully killed (Eight-legged Snake), obtained Altar core]...

...

Thirty minutes passed, and hundreds of monsters now stood before Nita. Arrows rained down continuously, showering all the monsters. Every time they tried to retaliate, they only hit empty air because Nita had moved far from her original spot.

[Successfully killed (Red-horned Pig), obtained Altar core]...

[Successfully killed (Four-leaf Kijimu), obtained Altar core]...

...

Boom... boom...

Each time Nita released her bow, a wide explosion occurred, killing monsters within a 10-meter radius. Combined with her second skill, Nita almost moved every time the monsters gathered in one place.

...

Fifty minutes passed in the blink of an eye. Nita felt very exhausted. The number of monsters had increased to thousands, making the situation more intense.

Some monsters already had average attributes above 3,500, becoming real threats. Nita had to be extra careful not to get hit by their skills.

...

[The trial time is over. You have 5 minutes to form the core], the system voice announced.

04:59...

04:55...

"Huah..." Nita let go of her bow and allowed herself to fall to the ground in exhaustion, sweat soaking her body.

After a few seconds, Nita sat and counted the total number of Altar core\'s she had obtained.

(Altar core) Container pieces for soul altar

- Quantity: 33,700

"Yes... over 30,000. The king-level soul altar is guaranteed."

Nita didn\'t linger because time was running out; she sat cross-legged and tried to absorb all the Altar core.

[Starting absorption (soul altar) progress 1%]

[Starting absorption (soul altar) progress 2%]

...

After the first absorption reached 100%, the absorption rank increased to gold level.

[Starting absorption (soul altar - gold) progress 1%]

...

The absorption progress reached 100% again, then changed from gold to king rank.

[Starting absorption (soul altar - king) progress 35%]

[Starting absorption (soul altar - king) progress 100%]

"Yay... just as my brother explained. King level." Nita was very happy, grateful her brother had informed her of everything, so she could maximize her benefits.

[Congratulations on achieving 100% core formation, gaining 100% of the current sovereign\'s attributes]

[Congratulations sovereign, gaining +11,280 free attributes]

[Congratulations sovereign, obtaining (King-level Soul Altar)]

[Trial time is over... sovereign will be transported in 3... 2... 1...]

***

Lein, who was reading a book in the garden pavilion, looked up from the pages.

He saw Nita appear out of thin air.

"How was it? Are you hurt?" he asked.

For an hour, Lein tried to quell his worries by reading, but his anxiety didn\'t completely fade.

"Hihi... how could Princess Nita get hurt easily?" Nita displayed a wide grin, showing her entire set of white teeth.

Puk...

Lein lightly slapped Nita\'s cheek because of her behavior. "Stop acting silly. Quickly tell me what happened."

"Ouch... that hurt..."

Nita held her cheek, annoyed. But she didn\'t take it to heart and didn\'t retaliate.
