Jason found himself lying on the ground with the Three paths puppet right next to him.

Its body had been cut into two and it had burn marks all over its body.

It looked like he had defeated the Three paths puppet, but he was not exactly sure how he had done so.

By fusing with Petri, his physical strength exceeded that of his opponent, allowing him to easily subdue it at the beginning of their battle.

Yet, he quickly lost his upper hand when he sensed that the Three paths puppet had the ability to grow stronger the longer their fight progressed.

It was able to retaliate, and Jason had to think of ways to defeat it, the sooner the better.

With that in mind, he had taken the shortest and simplest way.

Using his divine energy and moonlight transmuted mana at the same time, he coursed it through his body to enhance his strength. Meanwhile, he accumulated several portions of the energy in his fingers doing something he hadn't done for a long time.

Rather than using Degar, the desert eagle he had, Jason felt that taking out a weapon other than Byakur might cause the Three paths puppet to become suspicious of him.

Because of that, Jason had once again begun to shoot blasts of black flame bullets out of his fingers, but now included Solaris' flames in addition to divine energy and the moonlight transmuted mana.

As such, it was no wonder that his fingers looked like they had been torn apart as if they had been through a shredder.

Only the tip of his fingers had burst open but were already healing owing to the moonlight affinity's healing properties that were enhanced by the last remnants of divine energy.

After he had fired the black flame bullets, they had pierced through the Three paths puppet that hadn't expected a sudden attack from Jason.

Thus, it was burning from the inside since the early stage of the fight, giving Jason a great advantage, which he had used properly.

That being said, he could easily finish off the last opponent he had to defeat, finally ending the last battle of the fifth trial.

Now, he was lying on the ground and the Three paths puppet was disintegrating into countless particles.

These particles were floating towards the last portal.

Like earlier, the particles began to merge with the portal that was not far away from him.

Yet, instead of entering it, Jason decided to keep lying on the ground, healing his wounds while savoring the calmness around him.

The tension that had been weighing him down for the last few months was finally released from his body.

For the time being, he felt that everything else could wait and that he had no other thing to do except rest.

Unfortunately, before he could close his eyes and sleep, the artificial intelligence sent a notification that he had passed the fifth trial.

[Congratulations! The fifth trial has been solved successfully! 'Void' difficulty, Good+ achievement attained!]

Listening to the notification, Jason was about to jump up and complain because he was confident of achieving a better completion score than 'Good+'!

However, after giving it another thought, he decided to keep lying on the ground, waiting for the second message that should arrive at any moment. True to his assumptions, it happened exactly five minutes later.

[The Challenger didn't fight with his whole combat prowess during the first phase of the fight trial.

Only 80% of his whole prowess was utilized. This would have been lower if the challenger's condition wouldn't be unique owing to the sealed bloodline and other factors!

The Challenger's combat prowess increased drastically after cultivating for 180 days, and it was possible for him to exert 87% of his whole combat prowess!

Congratulations!

Furthermore, the Challenger defeated each of the five lesser puppets modeled after the five Primordial races, gaining him extra points!

Last Trial has thus been completed, the Challenger is free to enter the portal to choose his rewards.]

Jason was still not comfortable with the fact that the voice of the artificial intelligence began to sound more human-like the more trials he passed.

However, that was not important as the content of the message was Jason's priority.

From the looks of it, his completion rate that was on average 'good+' was already considered to be great because his difficulty had been at the highest level.

With that in mind, either the trial itself had to be difficult, or the requirements to pass were higher.

Considering that he was one of the Primordial descendants who belonged to one of the races that were called 'Primordial races' Jason thought that his difficulty level was what the Primordial races would have to face as the most common difficulty.

At least, that was what he assumed because he had no idea whether it was the case or not.

Unable to tell something like that, Jason could already be glad that he had passed the exams, even if he was not exactly sure what the percentages of his combat prowess truly indicated.

Whether it was his current combat prowess or the true limit of his combat prowess, the percentages made no sense to him, and it was more confusing than anything else.

Yet, instead of trying to come up with a logical theory which he could use as an equation to figure out the strength of the pureblooded descendants of Primordial races, Jason didn't bother about it.

He would rather sleep, which was exactly what he did, seemingly unbothered by the fact that he fought against lesser puppets that were weaker than normal Primordial descendants.

If they had been stronger, or equally strong, his passing score would have been much lower, after all!

With that in mind, he closed his eyes, giving himself the rest he didn't get during the last few months.

Only when he woke up did Jason realize that the artificial voice had said that he had completed the last trial.

This astonished him because he had been eager to enter the legacy trial. The announcement made him question whether his passing score had been too low to be eligible to enter the legacy trial, or if he was just missing something.

Jennifer hadn't received a notification about the legacy trials, and in her case, the portal leading to the legacy trail had just appeared out of thin air and that handed out the rewards without further ado.

Because of that, Jason was not yet concerned about anything, and even if he were not able to enter the legacy trail, it wouldn't mean that the last few years were wasted.

Rather, he would have to make the best out of his situation and use the merit points he would receive as efficiently as possible.

Maybe it would even be possible to earn more by choosing his own rewards.

But that was only under the condition that the legacy trial's reward was not far better than everything he might be rewarded.

That being said, he was currently not worried, and upon entering the portal after he had completely recuperated, he was ready to face whatever the dungeon would throw at him!

[Void difficulty has been detected, Candidate of the Primordial Descendant has been detected, Legacy Trial can be chosen. Does the Challenger want to be teleported towards the Legacy trial, or reward hall?]
