Unrivaled System

Chapter 207: (Trial)

(Updates might be late, I have exams Nov. 24-27)

...

Inside the illusion barrier, it was really dark, any source of light doesn't exist. It was quite the same on the surface yet fundamentally different.

Even with this darkness that could make anyone feel uneasy just by experiencing it, he found no trouble navigating inside. This was all credited to his dark element.

"I'm not sure if the world source is here, but depending on how someone made this difficult and priceless formation, there should be something worth getting here."

He said after looking at the surroundings, he could already see that the materials used in making the formation is very costly. His sight was limited in this space, as it couldn't cover the entire formation.

Even then, the things that he saw with his eyes were already a lot, the thing he deemed part of the materials in creating the formation, exuded with a very strong aura and magical power.

"Hmm... the place is very dark, I'm not sure but... there is a house, no! a small palace?" As he moved deeper, getting closer to the center of the formation, he could then vaguely surmise that he was inside a small palace.

On his hand there were three small dark looking stick.

"I already removed three of this... but the formation is still standing huh?... I guess, what I really need to find is the core." He commented while fiddling with the dark looking stick.

Using his system to appraise the materials on hand, he read the description.

Dark Pillar: A material used for creating the [Dark Star Formation]. 3/10.

"This information is a bit lacking... but at least it tells me that there is still seven more of this things. This formation is called [Dark Star Formation] huh? Where is the star though?"

...

He didn't know the flow of time in this place, and when he asked Sistine how much time passed, she answered that almost two hours had passed.

On the past hours, while moving around he still didn't find the center of the formation, but it doesn't mean that he wasted his time.

Currently, on his storage he already collected all 10 of the dark pillars. As expected, the formation finally had some changes, it was getting smaller but it still didn't disappear.

"The last place should be this room..."

As he walked inside that certain room, he found a large stone tablet.

"Hooh... so this is the right place!" He gasped

Cautiously looking at the surrounding, he didn't find anything beside a stone tablet. Slowly walking his way toward the stone tablet, he is completely on guard so he could react if something dangerous happens.

Although he proceeded safely while collecting the materials of the formation, it doesn't mean that the formation has no defense mechanism

The moment he was 5 meters away from the stone tablet. In this place where there is only darkness, a bright red star shined, this star was the one engraved on the stone tablet.

"Someone finally appeared, and actually bypassed my formation."

A voice suddenly sounded, he didn't know whether the voice came from a man, woman, young or old. But he knew that the sound came from the stone tablet.

"Who are you?." He probed.

As if the voice didn't hear anything he said, it continued to say.

"Someone appearing here doesn't even matter, anyway. I'm already gone at this time. Hey you! Yeah, the one who came here. You don't need to bother asking or saying anything, this one is only a residual image, that is recorded when I'm still alive. I'm probably gone by now. Hell, this thing only activates when I'm already dead.

"I see." He nodded.

"You probably understand by now. Now, listen carefully because this image won't last long. The situation you're facing right now is a trial, if you succeed, the entrance will open..."

"Couldn't I just destroy it..."

"You're thinking that you could destroy it right? Keep dreaming, there is no way someone could destroy this place of mine unless you're a god. A god coming here is also impossible."

"Oi, is this voice really only recorded... but unless you're a god huh?..."

After saying that he summoned his scythe. Imbuing it with [Nihility] as he swung it around the place.

"Haha, your actions are useless, your attack wouldn't even leave a scratch."

"Heh! this guy is arrogant. I'll really believe that the voice is not recorded, if it wasn't for this..."

Gazing at a certain corner, this should be the gate that will open if he completes the trial, it was revealed because of his actions. Unlike what the voice said, about not leaving a scratch, the gate was slowly disappearing.

"You're right about a god coming here is almost impossible, but you never predicted about me coming here, and I possess a principle... this guy maybe doesn't even know what a principle is.

"Still... this gate is really hard, it would take at most a weak before I could make a whole that I could fit in. It seems what he said about a god is the only one who can destroy it isn't an exaggeration. If I don't have this scythe and [Nihility] scratching this gate is a pipe dream.

The voice that was silent for a couple of seconds sounded again.

"Haha, I gave you time to destroy it, but I know you didn't even leave a scratch at all. Give up!... I will start the trial now."

"Haha." Alex laughed "This guy is really amusing, I really want to see his reaction if he seen that I could destroy this place... but taking the trial would be more faster. If I fail, I still need to wait for a week before I could come inside. Teleportation isn't an option either, it's as if the space around it is locked."

With that, he decided to take the trial.

"Be prepared, I will ask you a very difficult question. If you fail once, you can't take the trial anymore.

"An instant elimination huh?"

"Let's proceed, this is my question...

'I'm ready! Will the question be about this world? Maybe the history of this world. But what if it's math? Sistine took my intelligence stats away. Sistine, hurry and give it back.

"Hmm..." Sistine hummed in response.

Damn, what is she humming for. I think I'm not ready, if all fails, let's depend on the system... Here it comes.

"Who is the most handsome or beautiful person in the universe?"

"....."

"Since it's the first question, I'll give you a hint... My name is Ray.

"....."

"The hell!!"
