Chapter 910: Trial Passed
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Fifteen runes... Is it connected to the fact that there are 15 teams?”
As he reached this deduction, he hurriedly glanced down at the battlefield. It turned out that the layout of the valley resembled a rune. It was exactly as that inscribed on the magic array.
All the players flashed with different lights, it corresponded to the chaotic display on the runes.
“Is it true that the colors on the players have something to do with the runes?” Fearless thought to himself as he continued observing.
Sure enough, there were fifteen runes but only seven different colors. There were also seven distinct colors among the players.
Although Fearless did not what the runes represented, since there was an order to the colours, Fearless divided the players into their respective groups.
The runes were sorted based on the Arabic numeral system 1, 2, 3, 4...
The first rune indicated three and it was also three for the green team. Hence, green represented rune number one.
The second rune indicated too and the red team had also two. Therefore...
...
The players organised themselves into the respective colors corresponding to the rune.
“2012, your team is at the furthest left position. High Clouds, you go to the left by three positions. Captain Don’t Open Fire, you guys take the fifth...”
As everyone quickly got into their correct position, the runes around the magic array suddenly flickered to life as it shimmered, giving off a dazzling light.
The runes at the feet of the players revealed a burst of radiance that lit up the valley.
Since there were seven distinct colors of runes, there were seven distinct BUFFs.
Totem Power(Red): Player Strength Bonus 300%
Totem Power(Orange): Player Agility Bonus 300%
...
In essence, the seven different buffs enhanced the various attributes of the players.
The players who were faltering under the incessant assault of the Undead Army were invigorated when they received the buffs. They blocked the monsters from leaving the Sunset Valley with renewed vigor.
At the same time, Fearless, who was on the platform, was granted with multiple buffs from the magic array runes. All of his attributes skyrocketed and he was bathed in a sea of Holy Light.
As the magical blessings of the array descended upon him, Fearless stretched out his two wings.
Under the baptism of the Holy Light, Fearless raised his staff as he unleashed an AOE light purification skill and directed it into the depths of the Sunset Valley.
As his attributes have all been buffed, Fearless also had an increased attack distance.
The light element was most effective in restraining the dead spirits. Furthermore, in Fearless’s current state, it was akin to a true deity that had the power to destroy anything that stood in his way.
Although it was just a light purification skill, when it reached the Skeleton soldiers, they were instantly grounded into white powder, revealing a large portion of the landscape of the battlefield.
The White Bone Altar could finally be seen and it was situated in the middle of the battlefield. The whole army of Undead was being summoned through the use of this altar.
Upon realising that their White Bones Altar was under siege, the Skeleton soldiers who were desperately trying to escape the sunset valley quickly retreated. At this moment, Fearless threw out his second usage of the light purification skill.
“Hua...”
The sea of soldiers was once again cleared into nothingness.
Fearless was in an unstoppable mode. Every time he unleashed a skill, he would claim the lives of uncountable Skeleton soldiers.
Under his repeated bombardment, the White Bone Altar finally gave way and was smashed into smithereens by the Holy Light.
When the White Bone Altar was destroyed, the remaining soldiers lost their strength and collapsed on the ground, dissipating into white bone powder.
The radiance on the players also slowly dimmed. Fearless stood on the platform as his attributes were reverted back to normal levels.
At this moment, everyone received a system notification.

After the system notification concluded the end of this trial, everyone took a long sigh of relief. They sat on the ground, stunned at what they had achieved. Their faces all displayed glow with happiness.
Fortunately, they did not ignore Fearless during the battle and flee, or else they would have become the sinners of Twilight City.
“Come on, let us go report back. We don’t want to go back too late and risk being eliminated.” After a brief period of rest, the players who were previously united in one heart went back to their competitive nature. They immediately broke into their respective teams as every team raced into the direction of Twilight City.
Seeing that everyone was just leaving without him, Fearless hysterically shouted, “F*ck you bunch of ingrates. Someone help me down! You guys are going to get it from me later!”
“Ignore him, ignore him! Let’s quickly go.” Everyone pretended not to hear Fearless’s desperate pleas and left the valley in a jiffy.
As expected, Wang Yu was his saviour.
...
“Warriors, I really did not choose the wrong people for the trial this time.”
As everyone returned to the City Lord Mansion, the City Lord greeted all the players with a wide smile. He was feeling extremely gratified with the players for being able to complete the trial with such success.
After all, the White Bone Altar was always a ticking time bomb waiting to explode. The fact that the players had managed to fully eradicate this threat this time was something worthy to celebrate.
However, the players stifled their anger as they thought back about their initial difficulties in the trial. Even if they wanted to blame the City Lord, they did not have the guts to.
“City Lord, please announce the results of the trial,” Captain Don’t Open Fire inquired.
“Results?” City Lord grinned and replied, “The result is, of course, everyone passed the trial.”
“All passed?” Captain Don’t Open Fire continued, “Are teams not eliminated according to the number of points they have?”
Everyone had spared no effort in killing the monsters so that they would accumulate enough points to not be eliminated. To think that the City Lord had not claimed that everyone passed the trial... What was the use of points?
The City Lord chuckled, “No one specified that you would be assessed according to your point tally... The tally was just to spur you to kill more monsters.”
“F*ck!!”
Everyone heard and almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
