SWNOVELXO Chapter 460: Progress, Break Time
"It's Break Time in an hour, and you haven't done anything yet, Ragna."
Grace tucked up her glasses and said with a pout while looking at Ragna who seemed to be in meditation atop his Heavenly Nimbus Shen on a mountain peak.
"Ten minutes?" Ragna slowly opened his eyes filled with a wild yet stable sheen deep within.
"Yeah, so get your butt up and come for a meeting. We are distributing the work that we'll do after the Break Time."
Ragna looked at Grace and smiled, "Perfect. I was also assigned you all to some work."
"What?" Grace frowned.
"Come," Ragna vanished along with Heavenly Nimbus Shen like a flicker of a silent lightning bolt and descended as he arrived before the group's Wildered Throne Hall.
Inside, four women and four men of different races sat—two were petit Draconites women in their twenties, two beastfolk men, one Demon man looking in his thirties, a pair of Humans consisting of a married couple looking their thirties, and one dwarf.
"He is here," the copper-brown bearded dwarf muttered.
Ragna entered inside and glanced at everyone with a faint smiling, but ferocious expression. He sat on one of the two empty chairs.
Half a second later, a bunch of lights gathered in the all as Grace also arrived.
"Let's begin," Grace said with a nod.
"Ragna, we'll be changing the Throne Hall's location again," the Demon called Zahr with slick long hair, and wearing a black gentlemen's outfit said with a plain expression. "A group just destroyed a Throne Hall in this valley, so it's not practical."
"Rejected," Ragna shook his head. "This Throne Hall will stay here."
"Bu-"
Ragna's eyes instantly focused on Zahr as the demon strangely felt an intense pricking sensation throughout his body. "This Throne Hall is here precisely because a group destroyed another group here."
Grace bit her lips and said as she looked at everyone's expression changing. "Everyone, Master assigned Ragna as the leader and we are to listen to him."
Although they wanted to protest, their Master's order was absolute. As such, they suppressed all the protests within themselves.
"Cancel whatever plans you made and do as I say after Break Time," Ragna said as he waved his hand and showed a big projection akin to a map.
When they looked at it, their eyes were filled with shock as they noticed the details and size of the map!
'He was just sitting in one place all the time. What the fuck did he do to gather this much information?'
'We were busy, so we wouldn't know even if he traveled alone.'
"You will be going to the places I have marked with the red colored X symbols."
Everyone felt confused.
There were many other things marked specifically! Challenge area, challenge spots, Anomaly Activities, Trial Spots, Event Spots, Phenomena Zones, etc.
But he was telling them to go to the only mark that he hadn't explained on the map.
They were curious.
"What does that red X mark indicate?" the black-haired man with blue eyes, Johnathan, asked.
"Throne Halls or at least, one of them is," Ragna snapped his finger as a round circular appeared on the map. "You will check these 4 spots in this circled area. Split into two teams when searching them."
"What will you do while we search those spots for you?" Grace asked.
"I will observe you all," Ragna's smile turned sharp. "This is the highest priority mission, and as your leader, you will do as I say to complete this first before anything else after Break Time is over."
After saying that, Ragna vanished with a loud thunderclap reverberating in the hall.
…
Relintes Throne Hall,
Erix, Rin, and the whole group sat inside with only five minutes left until the Break Time.
They had finished four Challenge spots, two Event spots, and one Trial spot.
After using a total of five Wish Rewards, Erix, Rin, Lilith, Lily, Aria, Isabella, Sameira, and Kenshin successfully reached a peak in all foundational stats!
[Body]
—> Strength: 35,000
—> Agility: 35,000
—> Stamina: 35,000
—> Health: 35,000
Experience more tales on empire
[Magic]
—> Arcane Power: 35,000
—> Prana: [350,000 / 350,000 ]
[Soul]
—> Soul Power: 35,000
—> Soul Energy: [ 350,000 / 350,000 ]
[Aethir]
—> Aethir Power: 35,000
—> Aethir force: [ 350,000/ 350,000 ]
Their stats of Body, Magic, Soul, and Aethir had foundationally reached the peak of Empyrean-order!
Of course, they had bonus stats from their Bloodlines as well, which differed according to their Bloodline's rank and level.
But reaching a foundational peak in stats was just the start of here!
Erix and the group still wouldn't be able to stand a chance against the top peak Empyrean-order powerhouses here, for instance, Korin.
The real struggle would be to make their main elemental prowess reach the 10th realm for the Elemental Awakening and breakthrough through their Concepts to the 10th realm for Conceptual Manifestation.
In an ideal scenario, they must reach a peak in their powers, including Bloodline, Aethir's attribute masteries, acquiring a suitable and best Soul Affix, and creating more powerful skills to contend against the likes of Korin, Ragna, and others whose skills' stages were well between 10 to 15.
It took them only one day to reach the peak in Stats and War of Thrones would last for nine more days, so the real challenge would be to survive and stay in War of Thrones and continue to progress in their checklist to reach new milestones in the path to power!
"Alright, the Break Time is peaceful only in name, so be careful and find each other first," Nira said with a serious tone. "You will see all participants of War of Thrones there and harming others is prohibited, but using skills is not."
"I'm sure you can imagine the many ways a skill can affect you without harming you know that you know the potential of Aethir's attributes and Soul Vice in the creation of skills," Korin said with a small rare smile. "Good work today as we have settled in the top 30 rank for now, and after the Break Time, we'll move to the day 2 War of Throne's activities."
Everyone nodded as they were greatly thrilled and satisfied with their progress today.
The Break Time occurred and the entire playground turned silent with all people disappearing.
All participants of War of Thrones arrived in a special pocket world as big as a planet with the native residents being intelligent beasts.
As Erix and others found themselves in different places in another world, a lively but mature feminine voice rang into every War of Throne participant.
[Break Time has begun and it will last for 24 hours. The First Day of War of Throne is ending at Ulgara's Resident World. Follow the rules and enjoy with others as you might not live tomorrow.]
The loud announcement made many speechless while many couldn't help but laugh at the jab.
"That was good, " Erix grinned and closed his eyes as he activated his Bloodline's pulse.
As he was the progenitor of his race—Regalon, he could sense the general direction of other Regalons, making it easier for him to locate them. He could also know who was in which direction particularly because everyone's Bloodline had differences despite them being Regalons.
Kenshin and Sameira had to be found normally as they were not Regalons, but Erix planned to create the normal way to mutate their Bloodlines to turn them into Regalons.
Erix vanished in a blink as he teleported away, going to Lily as she was the nearest to him.
