Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System

Chapter 1843: Stage 1 Complete



After everything, we quickly reverted to our smaller, less inconspicuous appearances, and decided to rest over the city's plaza.

In there, while finally, at long last, at peace, while drinking cold drinks and eating ice cream, we were able to sigh in relief.

"That was a huge event..." Miranda groaned. "There's no way there's more than this right?" "Mlem~!" Drakda was drinking ice cream while sitting over his mother's lap.

"There's definitely more," said Benladann. "I doubt we would remain in the trial if there weren't unfinished business to take care of."

"Yeah... mom's right..." Benladra sighed, yawning. "I'm a bit sleepy though. Can't we sleep in this trial?"

"I think we could once we take the train, Benladra. So wait a little bit more," I said, patting her head. "For that though, we need to first talk with Emil and all the people we rescued. I don't know what'll be of them now..."

"Is it okay to leave them on their own?" wondered Kate. "Won't they get captured again?" "Hmm..."

With the death of the Esper God and the prompt rescue of Drakda, it was finally over, and we could finally relax...

Or so I wished, because the Trial wasn't stopping or kicking us out of it. Fighting the Esper God wasn't the end of this.

Not at all.

It seemed, however, that we've finally cleared the First Stage of the Trial, so that's that!

Ding!

[Quest Duration: 4 Hours, 8 Minutes.]

It seemed we were finally done with this, and the best part was that there was actually a damn Hidden Requirement in killing the Esper God... and saving the city.

That, certainly, wasn't something I expected happening at all, yet it was already considered within the Trial Storyline Quest?!

It seems this might be more scripted than I imagined... Just what is this trial?

Anyways, well, it's done.

"The Quest is at least completed," I said. "So the only thing left is to wait for the Whalebug to go away so we can go to the train, and then to the place where the Golden Spiral Race will begin."

"The Golden Spiral Race... Is that where the trial ends?" wondered Benladann.

"Most likely, I think... It kind of gives me that vibe," I said. "Based in all the clues so far, it does feels quite obvious that it all points to this particular event where a lot of people are going to participate. Though, even the train trip itself could become a trial of its own... I doubt all these outlaws aiming to participate will let their competition get there."

"You mean they might start killing each other inside the train?!" Miranda asked. "Ugh and seeing how they can be as strong as you, that's going to become such a chaotic thing to witness!"

"I'm just speculating, that might as well never happen," I said. "For now though... I think we should talk to Emil and- Oh? Looks like I finally got a new message."

Ding!

[Congratulations, you and your party have completed the {Special Trial Storyline Quest}: [Explore the City of Lost Souls: El Perdido]!]

[You have completed the first of the three Stages of the Rank Up Trial with your family and the many new friends you've made along the way. El Perdido is both a place with dangerous people and also with heartwarming, honest and kind people.]

[You've learned the big contrast of El Perdido, and one of the things that make this city so unique and also important to this world and its people. Where both criminals and honest hard-working people live together, this is the contrast and perhaps, the balance of the Colony World.]

[Now, with Emil and his tribe freed, the only thing left to do for you and your family is to go on board of the train and reach the Golden Spire Race, where the last stage of this trial awaits

you.]

[Each Stage of the Trial will reward you with Points and Rewards based in your clear time and also your performance, actions, and many other variables from every member of the party. However, all rewards will be saved for the end.]

[You have accumulated +1.700.000 Score Trial Points!]

[Once you finally can Rank Up your Class, you can use these points to decide how powerful it will become. Accumulate as many points as possible by interacting with the world, its people, and even fighting with evil foes.]

"So that's how it is... It also got a score system," I explained. "It seems fairly simple too... I'm guessing everyone will have the same score points at the end... I hope. There's two Stages more to go. Let's hope they won't be as long as this one."

"Let's hope!" nodded Miranda with annoyance. "Anyways, Kate, how are they doing?"

"They're fine," said Kate. "Emil just woke up and he's talking with his people... I think they're just happy he rescued them, and they're thanking him. Ah, it seems they want to come out

already."

"We should move somewhere else then, with less people, let's go," I said.

We moved through the skies after eating ice cream, reaching a good spot that wasn't

dangerous looking nor that it was filled with lots of people.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

And right there, Emil and the huge group of people from his tribe we rescued walked out, they

seemed much happier than before.

The first thing he did after seeing us again was thanking us.

"Drake, everyone... Thank you so much," he said. "For everything..."
