Chapter 700 Faidon's Armour

Collecting the pieces of the cyclops’ corpse that would serve as proof of subjugation, Shiro unsummoned her blade with satisfaction.

With the addition of Error 403, its power had tremendously soared and she was somewhat confident in challenging the Primordial Trials.

While she could not use Error 403 with every attack, she understood how to charge the element so that it’d activate with her next attack.

Each monster that she kills gives it a minimum of 1 energy. Powerful monsters can grant up to 25. Once it reaches 100, Error 403 will ’wake up’ and whenever it sees a powerful monster, it’ll enhance Shiro’s attack so that he could consume it.

As for what happens after he consumes it, Shiro didn’t know but it didn’t matter to her since there was still time to test that out at a later date. The most important task right now was to claim her armour and attempt the trials.

During the time that she had been working at the library, Shiro had asked Quella to talk to her about the Primordial Trials, what they give and their contents. Her reply to the question was "I do not know all of the details as the trials themselves change depending on who attempts it. It is not like the lesser trials that stay the same regardless. In terms of difficulty, I can tell you which is the hardest along with some of the basic benefits they give. However, the ’key’ ability they give when you obtain them changes as well."

With the five Primordial Trials being the hardest task in the world, it was only natural that each trial was tailored to the individual.

In terms of ranking, the hardest trail was apparently Nyx’s, followed by Chronos, Ouranos, Tartarus and finally Gaia. Despite Gaia being ranked the last out of these five, her trial was still one that many struggled to complete.

Out of the five, her best chance was probably the one with Gaia but there was one problem. While Gaia was one of the easiest, the enemies there are heavily armoured. Even with Nivlim’s effect of ignoring a certain amount of armour and granting armour penetration, her overall attack was still a little too low for the enemies. It would take her forever to even kill one of them nevermind a whole bunch of them.

As for Tartarus, there were potentially some rather difficult obstacles aside from combat which was good for her but her current tool set might not be able to accomplish that so going it was a bigger gamble than Gaia.

With these two out of the picture, her first primordial trial could only be between Nyx’s, Chronos’ and Ouranos. Nyx’s and Chronos’ were definitely a no go right now since the monsters and powers inside those trials were the extremes of the extreme.

Going there is literal suicide. There had only been 3 people to have ever completed their trials. Two completed Chronos’ while only one had ever managed to complete Nyx’s. For the one that had completed Nyx’s trial, he was essentially unkillable even by those that had Chronos’ power.

Since Ouranos was her only logical choice, Shiro had to make some preparations for that.

"Say, Quella." Shiro called out.

"Mn?"

"Is there anything I need to prepare for Ouranos’ trial?" She asked with curiosity since that’s her next goal.

"Hmm... Nothing much really. Though I suppose you might want to improve your control over flying. From what I know, Ouranos’ trial involves a lot of flying." Quella replied since there wasn’t much one could do to prepare other than to train. After all, completing the trials were a matter of personal skill.

"I see. Hmm... Oh well. Once I get my armour I should be pretty set." Shiro shrugged and stretched her body.

Since the trials were a solo experience, she had to rely on herself once she entered the trial space.
