The battle slowly ca to its conclusion, and Aengus rely observed from above.
The Dragonn erged victorious, and most of the credit went to the two young n and the young woman standing at the forefront of the battlefield.
They wore triumphant smiles, wiping blood off their gleaming Holy Weapons.
"Damn, I've reached level 90, guys. It won't be long before I beco a Transcendental. If I achieve that rank before leaving this world, I'll be a Continental Powerhouse even in the Primal Realm, haha!" one of the young n exclaid, his voice brimming with excitent.
"Ah, congrats, man. I'm still stuck at level 58," the other replied, a tinge of frustration in his tone. "Alas, my Unique Skill is nothing special. And we barely have two days left before we're pulled back from this place. I'll miss this heavenly world a lot."
"That's true," the first one agreed. "But we still have so ti to increase our strength. I just don't know if we'll be able to acquire any new skills from the Primal Realm."
"Elena, what about you?" they asked, turning to the young woman beside them.
Elena tilted her head slightly, her expression calm as she replied nonchalantly, "Level 95."
Though her tone was composed, a hint of smugness lingered in her voice.
"Wow, Elena. You've surpassed ! Did you get any new skills?"
"Why should I tell you? These things should remain secrets, moron," Elena muttered sharply, her tone exasperated. "Now, let's go. We're done with our mission. These lizards didn't even give us extra coins for cleanup." She turned and began walking away without waiting for a response.
Their conversation continued in faint whispers, occasionally switching to ntal transmissions. Despite their efforts to keep it private, Aengus, Bella, and Aria heard every word clearly.
The trio watched as the young otherworldly adventurers headed toward their den, carefully concealing their tracks amidst the dense jungle.
However, their small tricks to hide their movents were useless against Aengus' sharp perception.
Aengus and his group followed them from above, cloaked in invisibility, their presence completely undetectable.
After so ti, the trio of otherworlders discreetly entered a hidden cave, carefully ensuring no one was watching them.
Aengus, Bella, and Aria appeared just outside the cave's secret entrance, their invisibility fading.
Using his Special Eyes, Aengus observed faint shadows moving inside the cave, indicating the presence of more individuals. However, their faces remained indistinct, frustrating his efforts to gather more details.
"Later I should synthesize my eye skills further," Aengus thought to himself. "But without a Divine Stone, I won't be able to elevate them to SSS rank. And finding one of those is near impossible."
With a calm expression, Aengus gestured for his wives to follow him.
Silently, they slipped inside the cave, as if tearing through dinsions.
The interior revealed a gathering of young n and won, equipped with advanced gear and enough supplies to sustain them for an extended period.
Aengus observed them keenly, noting that they were all from the Primal Realm, just like him. However, contrary to what one might expect, their shared origin sparked no sense of camaraderie within him.
Instead, he remained patient, carefully watching and listening, hoping to gather so information.
When he first thrust himself into this Trial, he had known nothing about it—only that it held the potential for him to gain imnse power. And power was what he craved most.
"Elena, you three are back. The mission was successful, I assu?" a gentle young woman asked, stepping forward. The warm sunlight stread into the cave, illuminating her face and enhancing her radiant beauty.
"Yes, you're correct, Sister Olivia," Elena replied with a happy grin.
"Oh, that's good," Olivia said with a relieved smile. "With the Dragon Emperor so eager to obtain our Unique Skills, it's always best to remain cautious. If we can just stay safe for two more days, we won't need to worry anymore." She turned to address her companions.
"Olivia, you're right," another boy interjected arrogantly. "We shouldn't involve ourselves in the internal wars of these inferior races. Otherwise, we might not even realize how we ended up dead. Once we return to the Academy, these people will be nothing more than inferior species compared to our great Origin."
His smugness elicited nods of agreent from so, though a few remained silent, perhaps wary of underestimating the world they currently inhabited.
Even after waiting for so ti, Aengus found nothing particularly useful from their conversations.
Deciding to take a more direct approach, Aengus, Bella, and Aria stepped out from the spatial veil, suddenly making themselves visible before everyone.
"Huh? Who are you?" Olivia demanded, instantly on alert as she drew her sword.
The others numbering in 20, also followed suit, their expressions tense as they scrambled for their weapons, eyes darting between the unexpected intruders.
Aengus and Aria remained calm, their composed deanor exuding an air of authority, while Bella wore a faint smile of amusent as if the situation was nothing but entertainnt to her.
"Who are you three? Where did you co from? Did you follow us?" Elena shouted, fear evident in her voice as she stood beside Olivia, her hand gripping her weapon tightly.
Olivia observed the calm, confident deanor of the handso yet undeniably dangerous man and the two strikingly beautiful won beside him. Her instincts scread caution.
Bella broke the tense silence, her voice playful. "So, you're from the realm above, just like my hubby? Interesting! But why are you all so weak?"
Her remark sent a ripple of shock through the group. Their attention snapped to Aengus, their expressions a mix of curiosity and wariness. While his presence was undeniably commanding, they couldn't recognize him as one of their own.
The man they now stared at was unrecognizable from the weak, sheltered boy they had once glimpsed. His transformation into a figure exuding divine power and authority was nothing short of miraculous and beyond comprehension.
"You're from the Primal Realm too? Don't take us for fools, intruders!" The handso young man standing beside Elena growled. His voice was firm, though his unease showed in his clenched fists. "There was no one like you in our batch of trial participants. State your true identity, or we will not hesitate to fight!"
Aengus, however, remained unfazed. His sharp eyes scanned the group, and though most of their faces were unfamiliar to him, a faint mory of Olivia's striking features—the bold, snow-white-haired warrior—lingered in his mind.
Without further ado, he spoke in a tone that brooked no argunt. "I need you all to co with ."
Before they could react or even question his demand, Aengus snapped his fingers.
In an instant, the group vanished, teleported away without a trace.
"Wow, that was fast, darling!" Bella pouted playfully, watching the empty cave. "I would've loved to chat with those kids a bit more."
Nonchalant, Aengus turned to her. "There'll be plenty of ti for that later."
The trio disappeared as well, leaving the cave silent once again.
