Volume 1 Chapter 449

Chapter 449: The Real Trial Is Just Beginning!

Even someone as hard to shake as Lolth was directly shaken, so of course, the "Skill Trial" judging mechanism wouldn’t deliberately hold back Lalea.

And Lalea came out holding the Proof of Trial, looking as if she still wanted more.

"I’m sorry, maybe I spoke a bit too much."

She looked at Lolth and said, a little shyly.

Lolth just glanced at her and forced a smile.

"It’s not your fault, it’s my own problem."

Although she said this politely, Lolth didn’t want to stay with Lalea for even a second longer.

In the next round, or the "Courage Trial," she would definitely roll up her sleeves and fight!

Thinking this, Lolth was filled with determination.

In the next second, the magic combining sound rang out again, starting the second round of the "Skill Trial."

"Everyone has successfully completed the first round of the trial…"

"Now, the second round of the ‘Skill Trial’ begins!"

The magical voice announced this, and the silver Autonomous Guard started to dance gracefully again.

The puppet slowly spun in place, and its magical energy began to change.

Lolth looked confused.

"What is happening here?"

She asked curiously.

Soon, two crystals appeared in Julie and Qiong’s hands.

They were only the size of a palm and were also made of gathered magical energy.

But they were not the Proof of Trial.

Qiong and Julie were startled for a moment, then Qiong instinctively poured a bit of magic into it.

The scene of Julie’s dance from earlier appeared inside.

The beautiful and stunning dance reappeared in front of everyone.

A few minutes later, as it finished playing, the crystal made a soft "pop" sound and shattered into shining dust and magic essence.

Within that dust, words formed from concentrated magic.

"Please give your evaluation and score. Use a hundred-point system, as it relates to whether ‘Julie’ passes the trial."

Qiong hesitated for a moment and poured her magic into it again.

"One hundred points, and… very beautiful."

As Qiong said this, the magic essence and dust recorded her magical reaction and flew back to the silver puppet’s hand.

Then, under a wave of space, it vanished into its body.

Inside the space, a surge of magical energy came from within the silver puppet.

"One hundred points, and… very beautiful."

The words that Qiong had just spoken echoed again in the hall.

Then, the voice of magical synthesis was remembered.

"Julie, through ‘Skill Trial’."

A Proof of Trial appeared in Julie’s hand.

At that moment, Julie seemed to realize something and poured magical energy into the crystal she held.

Inside, there was clearly the figure of Qiong that she had just cooked.

Julie did not hesitate.

"One hundred points, you are the best, Senior!"

The same process happened again.

Looking at the two who passed, Lolth seemed to understand something.

"So this part is about teammates evaluating each other, right?"

She felt a bit of a headache.

If that’s the case, her fate of passing or not would not be in her hands anymore.

The four people present would not deny her passing.

However, Lolth still underestimated the ability of the "Artificial Soul" that resides in this Ailuo racehalf plane ruins, this White Sand Palace.

Near the silver puppet, there was suddenly a wave of energy in the air.

Two streams of magic essence mixed with crystal dust emerged from a gap in space and entered the silver puppet’s body.

"Huh? We haven’t gotten the crystal yet, have we?"

Lolth, Lalea, and Yi all felt a bit confused about this.

But soon, a voice of evaluation came again from inside the silver puppet’s body.

"So unpleasant… Never mind, I’ll give it sixty points—why is this happening to me, what is going on?"

A familiar female voice that Lolth recognized sounded, while Yi’s expression slightly changed, showing a hint of disturbance.

Although she quickly returned to calm, her expression visibly darkened.

"Yi, through the ‘Skill Trial.’"

Lolth looked at Yi and wanted to ask what was happening, but seeing Yi’s heavy mood, she decided not to speak.

A voice of judgment rose.

"A score? This is… the breath of the Ailuo race’s ruins. She really did go there."

"A clever insult. Is this a reprimand for the succubus? What nonsense!"

"Well… I’ll give it an eighty-five."

A cold and aged voice spoke, and Lalea could not help but spit in disdain.

"What a show-off."

As she said this, Lolth seemed to understand as well.

"Is this the voice of the old king from South Sotua?"

Lolth asked.

"That’s right, the monstrous king born from that damned, dirty country, a self-righteous fool, a proud tyrant and cruel ruler who makes me feel sick every day, a stinking monster that deserves to go to hell… my damn father."

Since Lalea showed her mocking skills, she seemed to be even bolder, no longer holding back like she did before.

All her malice, especially towards the king of South Sotua, was laid bare without disguise.

Especially after hearing the other person’s voice, she made a face as if she had just swallowed Qiong’s terrible dish.

Disgusted and completely repulsed.

Lolth’s expression changed slightly upon hearing this.

"Oh no…"

She looked at the disciplined puppet, realizing she had misjudged again.

This part is definitely not about teammates evaluating each other.

"Could it be that you’re drawing a friend or family member to give a review from the sidelines?"

Looking at Yi’s reaction, that person is probably connected to her in some way.

Julie and Qiong picked each other, clearly because both of them are orphans, so they might be each other’s closest people. It’s not surprising that they picked each other.

Realizing this, Lolth immediately understood…

Her situation was very bad.

In the earlier display of skills by five people, if there was a level of "not for outsiders to see" and a sense of shame that was on a different level from the other four…

Without a doubt, it was her "skill assessment to improve the female favorability rating."

Reciting unfashionable love talks in front of everyone, was that something to show people?

Especially friends and family…

If it were friends from the Succubus clan or colleagues from the Demon Army, it would be utterly embarrassing, and there’s even a chance that my mom might misunderstand something.

If it were friends from the main plane…

That would be even worse!

Whether it’s Isabella, Tina, An, or Dorothy, Lolth absolutely did not want them to see her in this lovesick state.

It would definitely cause big trouble!

At that moment in Hillenbrand Town…

"Oh, where did this crystal come from?"
