Supreme Couple In Apocalypse: Undead King & Demonic Queen

Chapter 441 Elite (13/13), War of Thrones Begins

[Welcome to the War of Thrones. Please set your group's name.]

"Woah, where are we, and how big is this place?"

After entering through the portal, Erix and others arrived on a mountain cliff as they oversaw a vast forest, mountains, a huge lake, a part of a dark forest in black mist, and such scenery before them.

"Terrible," Korin frowned.

The demon's eyes glinted as if he was scanning something and his frown deepened, "We arrived at one of the worst places in War of Thrones."

Nira was also looking around and said, "Can't we make a base on this mountain, senior Korin?"

Erix, Rin, Lilith, Isabella, Aria, Lily, Sameira, and Kenshin were briefed that during the early hours, each group had to select a location that would become their base.

An important starting location was a must, but this depended on luck.

However, there were advantages and disadvantages.

"Now that it's come to this, we have to improvise," Korin said with a severe expression. "We've arrived at a terrible starting location, but this location itself is not bad."

"Are those concentrated auras at various spots something akin to events or what?" Lilith asked as she observed concentrated auras in various areas in the forest, mountains, lake, and such.

"Indeed. Hence, we must take a starting risk," Korin nodded as his demonic wings unfurled and he flew up. "But first, anyone got a good name for our group?"

"Ass kickers," Erix said with a serious expression, causing everyone to stare at him.

"Pfff," Rin burst out laughing.

"Lol, just joking. How about Relintes," Erix said with a smile. "I forgot which clan's language, but this word means never backing down or inversely, relentlessly moving forward."

"Good meaning," Korin nodded. "Our group's name is Relintes. Now, once you visit those special spots, you will understand what to do. I am going to exhaust an important treasure to turn our starting bad luck into good luck while I want you all to form three groups."

"Each group must have 3 people, and each group will visit the various spots and clear the challenges for rewards and default resources that we need," Korin said while looking at the other side of the mountain, which was a huge land covered in snow and constant blizzard. "I'll enter this Radical-type region and make a spot for our group's throne base."

"There?" Nira was shocked. "But that's Radical-type regions are a source of trouble because Chaos Harbingers spawn there."

"I know, but I am going to exhaust 80% of my Blood Essence and a magic artifact to secure an area for us there," Korin said with a somber expression. "This will give us an edge, but without me, we won't be winning the major event that will appear on the first day. We'll have to give up on it because Throne Base is most important as we can only put our Throne Base during the first six hours."

"Alright, senior Korin. You can go now. We'll also proceed quickly after forming a group," Nira said with a firm nod.

Korin didn't waste a breath more and directly left.

The mountain this group appeared on was the largest and widest. To its north side was a completely different scenery, filled with verity. And its southern direction was a completely hazardous region.

"Everyone, please allow me to part us into groups," Nira said as she looked at Erix and others. "I know all of your skills, and I also know what kind of challenges await us."

Lilith smiled and nodded, "Alright, hurry up."

The rest also nodded as they left that part to Nira.

"Group A: Erix, Rin, Lily."

"Group B: Lilith, Aria, Isabella."

"Group C: Kenshin, Sameira, and I."

Nira looked at the north area and pointed at the center, "Kenshin, Sameira, and I will be going straight north at that lake with the spot with swirling colorful auras. That's the most important location and it's not like I don't trust you all, but I want three of us to go there because this is not my first time."

Everyone nodded and knew it was reasonable. The initial rush to gather resources was important. Your next journey awaits at empire

"Group A will head to the northeast area, and Group B will head to the northwest area."

"Along with default resources important for our Throne Base, you can write your reward wish when you start a challenge. Remember, War of Thrones is rare to appear and gives one of the highest rewards."

"For starters, I hope you all can maximize your fundamental physical stats. Just write that you want to increase your physical stats and it will give you a way to increase that if you succeed in the challenge."

"There are 11 concentrated aura spots and we have to clear all of them as fast as possible, gather resources, and go to our Throne Base which senior Korin will prepare."

Everyone nodded.

"One last thing," Nira said with a serious expression. "This is your opportunity to get a huge boost in the progression of Empyrean-order within 10 days. You heard about the race to Elites from Chihiro, and she is right."

"Yeah, what was that about?" Lily curiously asked.

The others were also curious.

"Only Elites can ascend, eh?" Rin also wondered as she remembered Chihiro's words.

"Elites," Nira said with narrowed her eyes. "You reach the peak of Empyrean-order, and peak in all the aspects of powers like Elements, Concepts, and Bloodline while being in Empyrean-order and having sophisticated skills that allow you to survive against Reverend-order and threats overall stronger than you. That's Elite Empyreans."

"This is our goal and we have to achieve it within the next 10 months if we want to enter Axis Realm and contend with others for ascension."

"This is it. Now let's move and start rolling in power," Nira grinned.

…

Everyone flew away in different directions towards the north and arrived at their first stops.

Group C arrived at the lake spot and the moment they entered within the swirling aura's range, Nira, Sameira, and Kenshin vanished.

Group B arrived at the tall woods with a thick plantation on the northwest and arrived before the swirling mass of dark green aura before they also vanished shortly.

Group A, Erix, Rin, and Lily arrived at the first spot in the Northeast area at the heavy fog on expansive long, and big trees.

They arrived at the swirling aura spot and entering its range, they also vanished.

[Reward Wish]

The moment, Erix, Rin, and Lily arrived at a new scenery after entering the aura spot, they got a panel telling them to write their reward wish.

The spot was also thick with mist, and their sensing range couldn't go past 50 meters no matter how much they tried.

"Let's add the reward wish. Only then will we see the challenges," Lily said while writing her challenge.

Erix and Rin were also writing their reward wish.

"Maximum fundamental stats of Physical body," Erix muttered while writing and smiled after he was done.

"Same pinch," Rin grinned."

"Haha, I also wrote the same," Lily chuckled. "It will be crazy if we can reach maximum fundamental physical stats of Empyrean-order in one go, but it's not possible."

"Yep."

A second after they finished writing Reward Wish, the challenges appeared.

[Challenge: Hunt of the Foggy Disaster]

-Tasks:

—> Easy Task: Survive in the Foggy Disaster for 20 minutes and kill 10 Mist pixies.

—> Medium Task: Survive in the Foggy Disaster for 30 minutes and kill 15 Mist Pixies.

—> Difficult Task: Kill 30 Mist Pixies and 1 Fog Lord.

<Note: You can exit the Mist Disaster after completing Easy Task anytime>

-Rewards:

—> Easy Task Reward: 100 Artisan Points / Star Furnace Training for 20 minutes in Time Dilated Space.

—> Medium Task Reward: 150 Artisan Points / Star Furnace Training for 30 minutes in Time Dilated Space.

—> Difficult Task Reward: 500 Artisan Points / Star Furnace Training for 1 hour in Time Dilated Space.

"Our aim is Difficult Task Reward," Erix said as he smashed his fist and activated his skills.

"Obviously," Rin grinned.

"That's the only option I see."

"Let's stay within each other 40 meter radius, and expand our senses to max, which is 50 meters," Erix said. "This way, we can cover more area and aid each other in fights."

The three of them used half of their Prana to use pure Prana-based normal techniques of their elements that were mostly defensive and perceptive to sense anomaly by releasing their elements and applying Aethir's attributes on shallow-level that consumed zero Aethir, but still allowed them to wield their elements to higher levels with Aethir's six attributes.

Erix spread wisps of Nihilir, Rin spread river-type streams of her Chronace flow while Lily spread her Super Exotic Element's energy—Liviort Particles (Mist x Ice x Life)

"Let's go."

…

Meanwhile, Korin didn't take long to find a good spot, but the main process was taking that spot as their group's Throne Hall.

Looking at the strange Icy woodland with wide and fat trees with huge branches that had a mountain range closing on three sides, while the remaining side was a wide open 5000 square kilometers frozen lake.

'This woodland is good and can be a very secure base,' Korin nodded, but his expression was thoughtful. 'But this also looks like a spawning spot of Chaos Harbinger.'

'Hmmm, we should be able to take advantage of that since we are in alliance with another group.'

After looking at the area thoroughly, Korin finally decided.

'The initial area of our Throne Hall can only be 100 square kilometers, so…'

Korin flew to the end of the Giant Tree Woodland and inspected the mountain range before locking on the 100 square kilometer area touching the mountain walls at the very back.

'Let's start.'
