Sylvara could not hold on any longer, her health dropping at a ridiculous rate. She instantly resurfaced and jumped out of the pool, gasping and wheezing. Her energy reserves were dwindling at an extremely fast pace and if no one helped her, she would be dead within a couple of seconds.
Thankfully, Aurora rushed to her aid and helped her out, stabilizing her condition. Even then Sylvara was simply too mentally drained. "Let’s log out." She announced to the party. "We need to have a clan meeting. Mira, Aurora, I am sorry for this time out. You can also log out for a while and come back refreshed."
What she discovered was simply too huge to carry on without altering their plans. This place was life-changing for them. Everyone politely bid farewell to each other, of course, excluding the problematic three vampires who were completely ignored.
Once the decision was made, the entire group disappeared in the blink of an eye, no one wanting to stay back even a second longer.
Damon leaned against the icy wall, his crimson eyes following Sylvara’s retreating form with a flicker of amusement. A thin smirk played at his lips, his fangs glinting in the dim light.
Kate sighed, stretching her arms dramatically. "Looks like we finally got some breathing room now."
"Damon, what do you think about this trial?" Mark asked. "I discovered something interesting."
"Hmmm?" Damon asked, his curiosity piqued.
"As soon as I entered the black pool, my body sort of rejected the ice affinity and the icy elemental energy that wanted to enter my body. I had this resistance until I reached the first break point."
Damon nodded. The others hadn’t noticed yet but the black pool was actually a lot deeper than they could have ever imagined. There were many break points under the water, pockets of air and a small cave here and there where one can come up for air.
"After the first break point, I couldn’t hold on anymore. The elemental energy crashed into my body and sort of started wrecking everything. I can still keep going a little bit but I have a feeling I will reach my limit soon." Mark explained.
"So how much did you gain in total?" Damon asked.
"I gained 10 stats in total. 5 in strength and 5 in vitality."
"I figured as much." Damon grinned. Right from the beginning he had a feeling that this trial was not just about ice affinity. It tested so much more. If he was right, then they should be able to gain a lot from this trial whether or not they were associated with ice affinity. "Looks like this trial has multiple layers of benefits."
Kate’s eyes sparkled with interest. "So you think it’s not just about elemental affinity?"
