The mage tried to block with her staff.
Miriel used Triple Strike.
The first strike knocked the staff away.
The second struck the mage’s shoulder.
The third sent her to the ground.
Miriel pointed her sword toward her.
"Give up."
The mage looked at her for a moment before raising her hand.
"I surrender."
The system immediately registered her elimination.
[ A Tier 1 participant has surrendered. ]
[ Participant eliminated. ]
Miriel stepped back.
She looked at Liam.
"That was close."
Liam nodded.
"You handled it well."
He then noticed movement behind Miriel.
"Behind you."
Miriel immediately turned.
The dual-wielder had already reached her.
Two blades swung toward her at the same time.
Miriel crossed her sword in front of herself and blocked both attacks.
The force pushed her backward.
The man continued attacking.
His movements were much faster than the previous opponents.
Miriel blocked one blade and dodged the other.
She tried to counterattack with Triple Strike, but he moved away before the final strike could land.
"He is fast," Miriel thought.
The man rushed forward again.
Miriel activated Battle Rage.
Her physical strength and speed increased.
The dual-wielder’s expression changed when Miriel suddenly became faster.
Their weapons clashed repeatedly.
Miriel blocked one attack, dodged another, and countered with a sword strike.
The dual-wielder avoided it.
He tried to attack her from the side.
Miriel turned and used Triple Strike.
This time, all three attacks landed.
The first cut his arm guard.
The second struck his chest.
The third knocked him backward.
He tried to stand.
Miriel raised her hand.
"Fireball."
Five fireballs appeared.
The dual-wielder immediately surrendered.
"I give up!"
The system recognized his surrender.
[ A Tier 1 participant has surrendered. ]
[ Participant eliminated. ]
Miriel lowered her hand.
"Three left."
Liam looked toward the remaining participants.
"Actually, there are four."
Miriel looked around in confusion.
"Four?"
Liam pointed toward the edge of the arena.
"One of them has been hiding."
Miriel followed his gaze.
A man wearing dark clothing was standing quietly behind a broken stone structure.
He had not participated in any of the recent battles.
He had simply waited for the numbers to decrease.
Liam smiled.
"That one is probably the most troublesome."
The hidden man slowly stepped out from behind the stone.
He looked at Miriel before glancing at Liam.
"You sure have an unusual creature with you, lass," he said.
His shadow suddenly moved.
Several dark shadows emerged from the ground and rushed toward Miriel.
The man was about to cut off Miriel’s head when suddenly his body stopped moving.
"What?!"
He looked down in confusion.
His body was tightly bound by black crystal silk.
Liam was floating nearby, his eye focused on the man.
The crystal silk tightened around him.
In the next moment, the man’s body was sliced into pieces.
Seeing this, the other three remaining participants immediately rushed toward them.
Miriel was already exhausted from the long battle, so Liam decided to handle them himself.
He moved through the battlefield in an instant.
The three participants were eliminated within seconds.
The moment the final opponent was defeated, the entire arena became quiet.
The trial was over.
[ Tier Advancement Trial Completed ]
[ Final Result: SSS Evaluation ]
[ Congratulations, Miriel, on completing your Tier Advancement Trial! ]
[ You have obtained the following rewards: ]
Rewards:
All Attributes ×3
Three Epic-Rank Random Skill Crystals
Three Random Skill Upgrades
Talent Awakening — SSS-Rating Exclusive Reward
Class Evolution — SSS-Rating Exclusive Reward
Miriel stared at the rewards in surprise.
"My class can evolve?"
Liam nodded.
"Of course. You received an SSS evaluation, after all."
Miriel looked at the rewards again.
"These are incredible."
Liam smiled.
"All right. Let’s see what you received."
"First, use your Class Evolution."
"Then awaken your Talent."
"After that, learn the three Epic-Rank skills."
"Once you’ve learned them, you can use the three random skill upgrades."
"If you’re lucky, you might even get some powerful upgrades for those Epic-Rank skills."
Miriel nodded excitedly.
"Okay."
She looked at the Class Evolution reward and selected it.
A notification immediately appeared.
[ Class Evolution initiated. ]
[ Current Class: Spell Sword — D-Rank ]
[ Beginning Class Evolution... ]
A bright light surrounded Miriel.
Liam watched quietly as the energy flowed into her body.
[ Class Evolution Completed ]
[ New Class: Arcane Swordmaster — C-Rank ]
[ Class Evolution Completed ]
[ New Class: Arcane Swordmaster — C-Rank ]
Miriel looked at the notification for a moment before nodding.
"So my class only evolved by one rank."
Liam nodded.
"Yes. Class Evolution normally increases the class by one rank."
"Since your previous class was D-Rank, your new class became C-Rank."
Miriel accepted the result and checked her new class skills.
Two new skills had appeared.
[ Class Skill: Arcane Coating ]
[ Description: Allows the user to coat weapons with magical energy and channel spells through them. The user can combine different spells with sword techniques to increase their effectiveness. ]
Miriel looked at the skill with interest.
"So I can use spells through my sword now?"
"Exactly," Liam said.
"You can coat your sword with your spells or channel magical effects through your attacks."
Miriel nodded before checking the second skill.
[ Passive Class Skill: Arcane Weaving ]
[ Description: Increases the power and efficiency of spells. Reduces mana consumption and skill cooldowns when using magic-based abilities. The effect becomes stronger as the user’s Intelligence and Mana Control increase. ]
Miriel’s eyes lit up.
"This is a really useful passive skill."
Liam nodded.
"Your new class suits you."
"You use both sword techniques and magic, so these skills should improve both."
Miriel closed the class information and looked at her remaining rewards.
"Then I’ll awaken my Talent next."
She selected the Talent Awakening reward.
[ Talent Awakening initiated. ]
[ Searching for a suitable Talent... ]
[ Talent Awakening successful. ]
[ You have awakened an S-Rank Talent: Arcane Eyes ]
Miriel froze for a moment.
"Arcane Eyes?"
She immediately opened the talent description.
[ Arcane Eyes — S-Rank Talent ]
[ Description: Allows the user to perceive and analyze magical energy. The user can see the flow of mana within living beings, objects, and magical formations. ]
[ The user can see through many forms of magical concealment, illusions, and hidden spells. ]
[ After analyzing a spell, the user can reproduce and copy it if they possess sufficient mana and the necessary requirements. ]
Miriel stared at the description.
"I can copy spells?"
Liam nodded.
"That’s a very useful ability."
"You should be able to see the structure of spells and understand how mana is being used to create them."
