Endless Extraction in a Game-Like World

Back in the apartment, Sylvia suddenly remembered something.

"What should we do with the God of Combat’s Training Zone?"

Caelus thought for a moment before answering.

"We’ll use it when it’s necessary. For now, let’s focus on other things."

Sylvia nodded in agreement.

Soon, night time arrived and the familiar notification appeared.

[Domain has opened!]

As soon as the domain opened, they went in without hesitation.

Before doing anything else, Caelus contacted Elder Sterling and bought a few cooldown reduction cards for Sylvia.

She needed to swap out her skills for the new ones she had acquired.

Her trait slot remained unchanged since Blood Generation was far too valuable to replace.

[Skill Cooldown Reset: Complete]

[Sylvia’s Skills Updated]

Sylvia equipped Blood Seal and Hemotoxin Synthesis, her eyes gleaming with anticipation.

"Finally, I can test these out."

Caelus grinned at her enthusiasm, then opened the Void Trial interface.

He selected Hard difficulty without hesitation.

He didn’t choose Abyssal because his combat score was only 87.37, that would be suicide.

[Void Trial Initiated: Hard Difficulty]

[Trial Type: Darkspawn Invasion]

[Defend your territory against waves of Darkspawns.]

The moment the trial began, the sky around Genesis Kingdom darkened dramatically.

Ominous clouds swirled overhead as portals tore open across the heavens.

Beings of pure darkness began descending into the kingdom, their forms twisted and terrifying.

Everyone inside the kingdom immediately panicked.

"What the hell?! Why are there Darkspawns coming out of the sky?!"

"Those are Peak King-Rank! We can’t fight those!"

"Is that an Ace-Rank?! We’re all gonna die!"

The vast majority of players were still only at Master-Rank, they couldn’t do a single thing against these monsters.

Speaking of which, the Origin Expanse actually allowed them to return to the Master-Rank zones now.

Caelus believed it was thanks to the token from that mysterious golden being.

"ARGGHHH! Mommy I’m gonna die!"

"Help! Someone help us!"

"This is the end! The kingdom is finished!"

Caelus was speechless at their reactions.

He swiftly sent an announcement through the kingdom system.

[Kingdom Announcement: This is a trial initiated by the Kingdom Lord. Stay calm and find shelter. The threat will be dealt with.]

The panicking lessened slightly, but fear still gripped most of the residents.

Caelus turned to Sylvia with a playful smile.

"My sweet vampire girlie, shall we deal with them?"

Sylvia’s crimson eyes lit up with excitement.

"As you wish, my dragon boy."

She winked at him and shot into the sky like a crimson meteor.

Her Blood Aura erupted around her as she faced the descending horde.

"Let’s test out my new toys."

She activated Hemotoxin Synthesis, her blood constructs shifting and changing at the molecular level.

Crimson spears formed around her, but instead of normal blood, they now dripped with highly corrosive acid.

She launched them at a group of King-Rank Darkspawns.

The spears pierced through their bodies, and the acid immediately began eating through their flesh.

"SCREEECH!"

The Darkspawns writhed in agony as their bodies dissolved from the inside out.

"Oh, I like this."

Sylvia grinned and formed more projectiles.

This time she altered them into paralytic neurotoxins.

The blood needles shot out in all directions, hitting dozens of Darkspawns at once.

Their movements immediately locked up as the toxins invaded their systems.

"Now for the finishing touch."

She activated Blood Seal, her repeated attacks leaving invisible marks on every Darkspawn she hit.

Once the seal completed, the Darkspawns found themselves unable to use any of their skills.

Their mana was completely blocked.

Sylvia swept through them like a crimson reaper, her movements elegant yet deadly.

Meanwhile, Caelus fully transformed into his half-dragon form, blue scales rippling across his skin as his aura erupted.

It didn’t change anything aside from making him look more like a final boss as Little Hong had mentioned.

His combat score of 87.37 made him a nightmare for anything below Ace-Rank.

Dark blue energy exploded from his body as he charged into the Darkspawn horde.

He activated Decay Touch on his right hand, everything he grabbed immediately withered and rotted.

A King-Rank Darkspawn lunged at him with massive claws.

Caelus caught the claw with his bare hand.

The Darkspawn’s arm immediately began decaying, the rot spreading up to its shoulder in seconds.

"SCREEECH!"

Before it could react, Caelus punched through its chest with his other hand.

"Next."

He moved through the battlefield like a force of nature, his Chaos Perception Eyes tracking every enemy movement.

Darkspawns fell one after another, unable to even touch him.

An Ace-Rank Darkspawn finally descended, its presence far more oppressive than the others.

"Finally, something worth fighting."

Caelus shot toward it, his Ruyi Jingu Bang materializing in his hand.

The staff extended and slammed into the Darkspawn’s guard, sending shockwaves through the air.

The Darkspawn retaliated with a blast of dark energy.

Caelus dodged to the side and activated Aura Bullet, a compressed beam of energy piercing through the Darkspawn’s shoulder.

"GRAAAH!"

It roared in pain and charged at him with renewed fury.

Caelus grinned and met its charge head-on.

Their clash created explosions that lit up the darkened sky.

Sylvia noticed the Ace-Rank fighting Caelus and flew over to assist.

"Need help, hubby?"

"Wouldn’t mind it."

They attacked in perfect sync, their movements coordinated without any verbal communication.

Sylvia’s acid blood corroded the Darkspawn’s defenses while Caelus’s Decay Touch weakened its body.

Within minutes, the Ace-Rank Darkspawn fell from the sky, defeated.

The remaining Darkspawns scattered in fear, but neither of them let any escape.

Just as they finished clearing the last wave, a familiar figure descended from the sky.

It was Jibril.

"Oh, you’re here Jibril."

Caelus noticed her level had increased significantly.

[Jibril - King Rank, Level 25]

She had been grinding hard.

Jibril landed gracefully, her wings folding behind her back.

"I sensed the disturbance and came to assist, but it seems you didn’t need my help."

She raised her hand and unleashed a barrage of light spears at a group of stragglers.

[Skill: Judgment]

The light spears pierced through them instantly, leaving nothing behind.

Then she followed up with another ability.

[Skill: Energy Purge]

A wave of energy swept across the battlefield, disintegrating any remaining Darkspawn essence.

"Clean up complete."

Jibril dusted off her hands with an emotionless look on her face.

The players watching from below were completely speechless.

"Holy shit, they’re so powerful!"

"Did you see that? The Kingdom Lord just killed an Ace-Rank like it was nothing!"

"And Sylvia’s blood abilities are terrifying! She melted those Darkspawns!"

"Even that angel looking girl is insanely strong! What kind of monsters are running this kingdom?!"

"I’m so glad I joined Genesis Kingdom!"

The fear from earlier had completely transformed into awe and admiration.

[Void Trial Complete: Hard Difficulty]

[Calculating Rewards...]

[You’ve obtained the following:]

[- Transfer Card x1]

[- 1,000,000 Origin Credits]

[- Wonder of World Card x1]

Caelus nodded with satisfaction at the rewards.

"Not bad for a Hard difficulty."

The Transfer Card was exactly what he needed for Candy.

And the 1M Origin Credits surprised him.

He taught about it today and there you have it, he got 1M Origin Credits.

Just then, a streak of light cut through the sky.

It was Faust.

She landed before them with an excited expression on her face.

"Hey Caelus! I found something!"

She then noticed Sylvia standing beside him.

"Oh hey Sylvia, long time no see."

Sylvia just rolled her eyes at her.

"What do you want, Faust?"

Faust ignored the attitude and turned back to Caelus.

"What happened?" Caelus squinted his eyes and asked.

Faust’s excitement could barely be contained.

"I know the way to reach the Tier 2 World." She announced. "And also how to get Emperor-Rank, or at least the combat score of Emperor-Rank. Potentially."

"Hm?"

Both Sylvia and Caelus immediately became interested.
