Chapter 16: Rich Rewards

Seeing Dison choose to surrender instead of resisting, William breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, his mana was running dangerously low, and he was struggling to hold on.

Glancing at the cyan fireball in his hand, he lazily smashed it towards an empty space far away.

Boom!

A deafening explosion rang out as the solid ground, weakened by the Blue Fireball Spell, crumbled like tofu, leaving behind a crater several times larger than the previous Fireball Spell had created.

"Lord William, that was terrifying!" Dison, still lying on the ground, stared dumbfoundedly at the deep crater with blue flames still roasting, feeling the terrifying heat even from such a distance. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

"If that had hit me, I'd probably be nothing but ashes."

"Is he really just a novice mage?"

Welf, who had been watching the entire battle, keenly felt the power of that spell. The frightening sensation made him realize that even he could be threatened by that spell.

Who was he?

A Golden Warrior! Even though there were many warriors, advanced warriors were considered top-tier fighters in the entire kingdom. Among a hundred warriors, it was rare to find even one of them.

Logically, a low-level spell shouldn't have been able to penetrate his defense. But clearly, the mysterious blue fireball in William's hand could bypass defense and cause him harm. This was incredible.

If, before the match, it was because of the respect for Butler Joyce, then now Welf truly felt a hint of fear towards his young lord from the bottom of his heart.

As for Bill, who was standing beside Welf, his face was pale, his legs weak, and he was on the verge of collapsing to the ground.

William didn't pay attention to the guards' expressions. He took a deep breath to calm his wildly beating heart from the battle just now and checked the system prompts that had just appeared.

[You have defeated Dison against the odds, completing the limited challenge task.]

[Judgment: Overcoming a higher-ranked opponent. Judgment passed, reward increased.]

[Judgment: Full-force combat. Judgment failed (Dison did not exert 100% strength), reward decreased.]

[Hidden Judgment: Flawless Victory. Judgment passed, reward increased.]

[Task completion rate: 110%, rewards being distributed.]

[You gained 330,000 experience points.]

[You gained specialties "Fearless Challenger" and "Low-Level Resilient Body."]

[You gained skill "Martial Technique: Furious Slash."]

William didn't expect to trigger the limited challenge task. This was one of the most attractive game features in "God's Apocalypse."

When players challenged NPCs, wild monsters, and bosses, there was a chance to trigger this limited challenge task, which offered generous rewards and the opportunity to obtain the target's skills and specialties, as well as substantial experience points and gold rewards.

However, while the rewards were generous, it meant that such tasks were very rare and the difficulty was very high!

Firstly, it had to be a solo challenge to trigger this type of task.

Secondly, there was only a chance to trigger the task if the system judged that the enemy's level was similar to or stronger than one's own.

In "God's Apocalypse," due to factors such as equipment and talents, NPCs were much stronger than ordinary players at the same level, let alone important figures in the main storyline. They were beyond the resistance of even professional players.

Often, a storyline boss required a massive number of players to sacrifice themselves to push through, being killed over and over again.

So, in the end, there weren't many players who could complete this task and receive rewards. However, many players still enjoyed it, to the point where the NPCs who were more likely to trigger such tasks would avoid players altogether.

You walk along the road peacefully, and suddenly, someone dressed oddly jumps out, shouting "You scoundrel" and challenging you to a duel.

Encountering this kind of lunatic hundreds of times a day would drive anyone crazy.

After some thought, William dispelled the idea of finding someone else to trigger the limited challenge task. Firstly, his own strength was still insufficient, and defeating Dison was partly due to luck; he still needed to continue working hard.

He could also have Welf and the others cooperate with him, but firstly, the chance of triggering such tasks was relatively low, and secondly, if he went too easy on them, the task rewards would decrease significantly.

If he hadn't completed the hidden judgment this time, the rewards wouldn't have been so generous.

William estimated that if he had won against Welf by cheating, the system would have thrown him a few coins as a reward.

Shaking his head to dispel these thoughts, William began to happily inventory the generous rewards from the task.

"330,000 experience points, that's amazing! I could level up by about two levels with that."

"100 gold coins, if it were back when the server first opened, that would indeed be a lot, but now, as a nobleman, I already have plenty!"

"Now, for the main event!" William rubbed his hands together eagerly and opened the detailed information on the specialties and skills he had acquired.

[Fearless Challenger]— Reduces damage received from being suppressed by ranks by 30% and has a chance to resist negative effects such as fear, stun, silence, confusion, charm, etc.

[Low-Level Resilient Body]— Increases HP by 10%, enhances recovery speed from light injuries, and slightly improves one's resilience and elemental resistance.

[Martial Technique: Furious Slash]— Intermediate warrior skill. Deals (30% of own lost HP + 200% * Strength attribute) theoretical damage to enemies, with a certain chance to stun. Cooldown: 10 minutes.

"I won't bother looking at Martial Technique: Furious Slash for now. I don't have enough experience points to upgrade this skill anyway, and the chance of triggering the stun effect at a low level is too low."

"Fearless Challenger" is a very useful specialty, obtainable by every player the first time they challenge an opponent of higher rank. The chance to resist negative effects could come in handy during battles.

"Low-Level Resilient Body" is a passive specialty that directly enhances one's tanking ability. Warrior players become top-tier tanks who can take a beating without breaking after acquiring numerous similar passive specialties, so the more, the merrier.

Both "Low-Level Resilient Body" and "Martial Technique: Furious Slash" should have been obtained from Dison. Thinking about this, William couldn't help but look at Welf eagerly.

If something this good could be obtained from a Silver Warrior like Dison, then what treasures could be obtained from a Golden Warrior like Welf?

William nodded, silently marking down Welf's name in his mental checklist of challenges.

As Welf helped Dison up, he felt a chill in his heart and looked around, feeling as if he were being watched by something dirty.

Seeing Dison struggling to clean the black oily substance off his body, William suddenly felt that there might be more potential for the Grease Spell. It was so effective at nauseating people; it might be worth studying further when he had the time.

Seeing that Dison might take some time to clean himself up and Bill still hadn't recovered from the shock earlier, Welf, standing beside William, picked up his sword and stood in front of William, ready to complete the training task afterward.

He couldn't afford to be negligent now. Even though William seemed a bit tired, Welf didn't dare to suggest ending the training prematurely without William's instruction.

It's all because of this guy! fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

Welf glanced disdainfully at Bill, who was cowering on the side.

I should really train this guy more. I've been too lenient with him before. How can I be a good protector for Lord William like this?

Welf thought to himself earnestly.

However, William didn't intend to continue training. After calling out to Welf and the others, he prepared to rest and return to the Fis Royal Academy of Magic tomorrow. There was no need to overexert himself today.
