Epic Of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System Chapter 1731 Second Trial: {Treasure Hunt}

-----

[Welco, Participants, to the Second Trial of the Venerable of Flas Inheritance: {Treasure Hunt}!]

[In this great landscape there are 4 different Labyrinths, you must explore them to find Treasures! There's a total of 100 different Treasures you can find. The more Treasures your Team obtains, the higher their Score will be.]

[But be careful, the Labyrinths are filled with treacherous Monsters and Bosses of all kinds, and their own inhabitants won't easily let you take away their Ancient Treasures.]

[So Treasures might not be in plain sight or just hidden away underground, however. You have to think outside the box to find them all.]

[To be qualified for the Third and last Trial, you must gather a minimum of 20 Treasures before the ti limit ends.]

[Be careful, however, not everyone will play fair, and it is possible to steal Treasures too.]

[Trial Duration: 12 Hours.]

[For now, please get ready, the Trial will begin in 1 Hour.]

Huh, we even get so preparation ti. It seems this Trial will be quite chaotic compared to the previous one. Mostly because all Participants are unrestrained and can do whatever they want too.

But seeing how the Venerable stopped us, I suppose he doesn't want us to kill each other, right?

Hm, it's weird.

"So this is the Second Trial…" Drake rubbed his chin. "Hm, so this ans 25 Treasures per Dungeon. But at the sa ti, like before, you can boycott soone else by stealing their treasures. The thing is… The trial never ends until the 24 hours pass. So it could be said Treasures will be constantly stolen from one to another."

"Wouldn't the best strategy be to just wait until soone gets all the Treasures and steal them from them?" asked Yuki.

"Yeah?" Miranda wondered.

"There's no way a single person could take all the Treasures though, it did say they were all very well hidden. Only so could be at plain sight… But the rest will take a lot of searching ability," I said.

"It's a bit chaotic, more than the previous Trial," said Benladann. "I am rather worried… Wouldn't this allow Pandemonium to co finish what he started?"

"There's nothing stopping him, right? If its in the trial… and there's nothing saying he can't kill people either…" said Miranda. "It's indeed pretty dangerous. He'll either sit down and wait for us to gather the Treasure and steal it or charge right towards us and try to take us down so we won't bother him in the Trial, all while killing us."

"So even when your fight was interrumpted, nothing has changed that much…" sighed Benladann.

"No… I am sure there's so rules here," I said. "Hey, Venerable. I know you're there. Tell , is it true that we can do whatever we want? What if I resu my fight against Pandemonium?"

FLUOSH!

A man made of flas materialized above the skies.

"You can fight against one another all you want," he laughed. "As long as it is within my Trial, I don't care. You were fighting OUTSIDE of the Trial… But this is also a free-for-all, kill each other if that pleases you, I don't care."

"Hah… I see." I smiled, I looked at Pandemonium, who wasn't even looking at .

His eyes seed focused on the Treasure, oddly enough.

Did his fighting spirit faded away after being stopped?

Or was he planning sothing else?

Honestly, I can't say he's smart, he's impulsive and emotional.

This ans that he could definitely just co kill or is thinking sothing just as annoying.

"Rember to gather the Treasures with , Pandemonium," the man shrouded in shadows by his side suddenly spoke. My senses allowed to hear their conversation. "Don't go killing them yet. We must prioritize winning, you heard ? It's quite obvious they don't want to fight either… It's not that I don't want them dead but, we shouldn't waste ti, we only have 12 hours."

"Don't order around," Pandemonium answered without saying another word. "I'll gather the Treasure on my own."

"That's fine by too," the other seed pleased anyway.

A man like him acting this condescending towards this asshole…

I am quite sure now, there's sothing binding him.

Perhaps not to directly obey, but maybe connected with having to complete the trials.

"Looks like we can be fine, for now," I said. "Just as I thought, there's sothing binding Pandemonium to do the trial and win it. He must prioritize the Treasures rather than our own lives…"

"There's really sothing binding that monster? It must be of trendous power!" said Miranda.

"It is most likely what's keeping him together too," said Androda. "From what I've analyzed of his composition so far, Pandemonium's body parts seem unstable, to completely unify, a complex Demonic and Divine Formation had to be made, which bound his body parts and everything else together into his current form."

"And perhaps he placed that oath, or whatever is binding him within the Formation, right?" I asked. "I suppose he'll only be truly free when that Oath disappears on its own, aning that once he completes the inheritance…"

"Most likely, yes," Androda nodded. "Rember what so of the Fla Emperor's servants said, or their origins?"

"Barely, but why?" Benladann asked.

"So of those people originated from large nations in the Continent of Muspelheim which had sealed pieces of Pandemonium. Apparently he's also worshipped in so areas, especially in those were demons managed to survive, thrive, and hybridize with other people…" Said Androda. "He destroyed those nations as he gathered the body parts, though. But he also absorbed their knowledge, how to conjure and use demonic energy."

"Maybe that's why he was so goddamn strong too!" I said. "And why he could absorb the power out of the bones of the Primordial Dragons as well…"

"Yes, perhaps," Androda nodded. "But it's just my theory about it, nothing truly confird. I am analyzing the pieces you ate, but it is incredibly hard. They're composed of imnsely dense molecular structures mixed with his very soul… And there's sothing else."

"Sothing… else?" I asked.

"Yeah, I could feel it within the fingers you ate," she said. "The small trails of an imnse quantity of Chaotic Energy… There's definitely sothing else inside of him, he's not alone."

"What?!"
