The women carefully read the words.
After a long silence, they looked outside the tent.
The village was completely quiet.
There were no Goblins left.
Only then did they begin to believe him.
Before leaving, Liam took out six Common-Rank swords from his inventory.
He gently placed them on the ground in front of the women.
Even if the journey back might be dangerous, having weapons would greatly increase their chances of protecting themselves.
However, Liam doubted they would encounter much danger.
On his way to the Goblin village, he hadn’t seen a single Goblin outside the settlement—not even any Goblin Scouts.
With his enhanced vision, he had also spotted a human village not far beyond the forest.
As long as the women headed in that direction, they should be able to reach safety without too much difficulty.
After making sure they understood, Liam quietly left the tent and returned to the center of the village.
Only then did Liam finally open the reward notifications that had been waiting for him.
Several notifications immediately appeared before his eye.
[ Reward calculation complete. ]
[ Congratulations! ]
[ You have obtained an SSS Rating in the Tier Advancement Trial. ]
Rewards:
All Attributes ×3
Three Epic-Rank Random Skill Crystals
Three Random Skill Upgrades
Talent Upgrade (if applicable)
Racial Evolution (SSS Rating Exclusive Reward)
Liam carefully read every reward.
"I actually got an SSS Rating."
He had expected a high rating, but he had never imagined it would be the highest possible.
Without wasting any time, he accepted the rewards.
A warm energy immediately flowed through his body.
His attributes rapidly increased.
He could clearly feel himself becoming much stronger than before.
Several more notifications appeared.
[ All Attributes have been tripled. ]
Three purple crystals materialized in front of him.
Each crystal emitted a powerful aura far beyond any Skill Crystal he had obtained before.
Liam stored them inside his inventory for the moment.
He then looked at the next reward.
[ Three Random Skill Upgrades available. ]
Liam thought for a moment.
He already possessed several Level 10 skills, making this reward even more valuable.
"If these upgrades can improve my max-level skills even further..."
"...then they’ll become even stronger."
Finally, his attention shifted to the last two rewards.
Talent Upgrade.
Racial Evolution.
These were undoubtedly the most valuable rewards.
Especially the SSS Rating Exclusive Racial Evolution.
Liam took a slow breath.
He had started as one of the weakest Dream Races in existence.
Yet he had obtained an SSS Rating.
No one would believe him even if he told them.
"Let’s start with the Skill Crystals," Liam thought.
He took out the three Epic-Rank Skill Crystals from his inventory and appraised them one by one.
The first crystal glowed with deep black light.
[ Shadow Clone ]
Rank: Epic
Type: Active Skill
Description:
Create up to three shadow clones.
Each clone possesses 50% of the user’s attributes and can use all of the user’s skills except Reality Reversal.
The clones disappear after being destroyed or when the user dismisses them.
The number and strength of the clones increase with skill level.
The second crystal emitted a silver glow.
[ Void Blink ]
Rank: Epic
Type: Active Skill
Description:
Instantly teleport to any location within range.
The skill ignores most physical obstacles and can also be used to evade attacks.
Range, cooldown, and mana consumption improve with skill level.
The third crystal radiated a dark crimson light.
[ Curse Amplification ]
Rank: Epic
Type: Passive Skill
Description:
Greatly increases the power of all curse-type abilities.
Reduces enemy resistance against curse effects.
Allows multiple curse effects to stack more efficiently on the same target.
The effects become stronger as the skill level increases.
Liam carefully read the descriptions.
A smile appeared in his eye.
"All three suit me perfectly."
Shadow Clone would greatly increase his fighting ability.
Void Blink would solve one of his biggest weaknesses by giving him an instant escape and repositioning skill.
Curse Amplification would make every one of his curse rays and poison abilities significantly more effective.
Without any hesitation, Liam stored the three Epic-Rank Skill Crystals back into his inventory.
He planned to learn all of them after checking out his other rewards.
Only then did he turn his attention to the next reward.
Three Random Skill Upgrades.
The three Random Skill Upgrades were extremely valuable.
Each one could upgrade any skill Liam had already learned to its next stage, regardless of its current level or rank.
Before using them, Liam looked at his current list of skills.
Skills
Cursed Gaze (Lv.10 - MAX)
Dark Cutter (Lv.10 - MAX)
Abyss Venom Domain (Lv.10 - MAX)
Abyssal Venom (Lv.10 - MAX)
Divine Dew (Lv.10 - MAX)
Shadow Dash (Lv.10 - MAX)
Crystal Web (Lv.10 - MAX)
"I also have sixteen Skill Crystals, along with the three Epic ones I just obtained," Liam thought.
He decided to learn the Epic-Rank skills first.
Immediately, several notifications appeared.
[ You have learned the skill: Shadow Clone. ]
[ You have learned the skill: Void Blink. ]
[ You have learned the skill: Curse Amplification. ]
After that, Liam turned his attention to the remaining Skill Crystals he had collected from the Goblin village.
He first learned the Rare-Rank skill dropped by the Goblin Lord.
[ You have learned the skill: Battle Rage. ]
Battle Rage temporarily increased the user’s physical strength, agility, and reaction speed, making it a useful combat skill despite Liam’s small body.
Liam then examined the remaining fifteen Skill Crystals one by one.
Most of them contained skills that required a humanoid body or weapons, making them useless to him.
Only three caught his interest.
Dark Ball.
A spell that condensed dark energy into a sphere before launching it at an enemy.
Fireball.
A basic fire-element spell that exploded on impact.
Heal.
A recovery spell capable of restoring injuries to himself or others.
Without hesitation, Liam learned all three skills.
Several notifications appeared in succession.
[ You have learned the skill: Dark Ball. ]
[ You have learned the skill: Fireball. ]
[ You have learned the skill: Heal. ]
Liam nodded in satisfaction.
Although they were ordinary skills, they greatly expanded his options in battle.
Now, his attention returned to the three Random Skill Upgrades.
Just like it’s name suggest, it will randomly Upgrade any of its skills.
