Chapter 1994: Third Task Begins
Chapter 1994: Third Task Begins
[The third task has been updated on the Celestial Pillar. Please check it]
As soon as Ajax appeared in front of the Celestial Pillar, the familiar Ancient Voice resounded in Ajax's head, asking him to check the third task.
'Huh? The third task has not been updated until now?'
Ajax was pleasantly surprised to hear those words because he was expecting the third task to start already...or at least he was hoping the task to be started.
According to the Celestial Pillar, during his stay in the Celestial Cultivation Chamber, his Celestial Pillar will be protected.
'Never mind, if it started now, I can get more generous rewards.'
When Ajax thought about the positive side of starting the third task now, he smiled a little. "Are you alright!"
First, Ajax checked on Siora who was perfectly fine during his stay in the Celestial Cultivation Chamber before checking on the third task on the Celestial Pillar.
[For the third task, the participant has to protect the Celestial Pillar from the incoming Beast Tides]
[The Beast Tides comes round-wise until only one Celestial Pillar is standing in the Celestial Dawn Realm]
[The participants who didn't become the owners of the Celestial Pillar can also earn rewards depending on their contributions during the Beast Tides by swearing their loyalty to protect the Celestial Pillar]
[Since there will be only one Celestial Pillar that remains in the Celestial Dawn Realm, choose your Celestial Pillar wisely]n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
[The first round of the beast tide will begin in one hour for all the participants to make their choice and come up with their strategies]
Soon, rows of text appeared on the pillar, explaining everything that Ajax needed to know about the third task.
'Beast tides?'
Ajax raised his eyebrows when he learned details of the third task because 'Beast Tides' was his least expected trial.
Before the appearance of the Celestial Pillar, he tried to find some powerful beasts; however, other than Monster Vines and a couple of beasts, he didn't find any powerful ones.
So, he thought there wouldn't be any trials that had to do with the Beast Tides.
'Moreover, the participants who didn't become the owners of the Celestial Pillars could choose a Celestial Pillar to protect. Not just that, but they could also receive rewards for their contribution.'
After learning about the Celestial Dawn Sect's Plan, Ajax knew that it was almost impossible for his subordinates and the Summons to find anything worthwhile in the Celestial Dawn Realm.
Since they could finally have a chance to earn the rewards from the Celestial Pillar which are quite generous, he felt happy for them because their trip to the Celestial Dawn Realm won't be wasted.
"Everyone, return to me."
Once he learned about this, Ajax didn't waste any time as he quickly asked everyone to return to the Celestial Pillar.
Of course, other than earning generous rewards from the Celestial Pillar, the reason he called them back was that it was going to be dangerous from now on.
According to the third task of the Celestial Pillar, there would be tides of Beast Invasion on his Celestial Pillar. With his current prowess, he was confident in protecting it; however, his summons might get caught up in the beast tides.
If they stayed near him, Ajax was confident that he could not only protect the Celestial Pillar but he could also protect his subordinates and followers.
Also, they could help Ajax during the Beast Tides to get generous rewards from the Celestial Pillar.
'He already heard the details of the Third Task of the Celestial Pillar and coming back to you, Master.'
Ajax quickly heard the reply from everyone saying that they got the details of the task from the Celestial Dawn Realm's spirit or whatever it was.
Not only Ajax and his summons, but the owners of the other Celestial Pillar also got the details of their much-awaited third task from the Celestial Pillar.
Unlike Ajax, whose subordinates and summons were away, these owners have already formed groups at their Celestial Pillars.
"This is it! As long as we survive this trial, we can leave the Celestial Dawn Realm."
"All we have to do is last longer than others."
"We can do it."
"Yes...yes. We can do it and once we are out of the Celestial Dawn Realm, we should reveal the devious plan of the Celestial Dawn Sect."
Some of the participants believed that as long as they completed this third task, they could leave the Celestial Dawn Realm.
Some even planned to take revenge on the Celestial Dawn Sect...of course, with the help of their backers as they don't have the strength to take on one of the top sects on their own.
"Elder Brother, please come up with the strategies for this task."
At the Celestial Pillar that was guarded by the Five Elements Sect, everyone looked at the Elder Brother who was quite good with strategies.
"I have already devised a basic strategy for now and I will modify it after observing the strength of the beast tides."
The Elder Brother replied with a smile.
Unlike others, he was calm and composed without worrying about death during the task as though he was confident that he would be the winner of this task.
"Since we are 15 members, let's form into four teams namely, Attack Unit, Defense Unit,
Healing Unit and Freezing Unit."
"First, the Freezing Unit freezes the incoming Beast Tides, then the Attack Unit and Healing Unit should work on attacking and draining the Beasts."
"After that, the Defense Unit forms a steady defence to protect the Celestial Pillar at any cost. Behind them, the Healers and Freezer work accordingly."
"The Healing units only take actions when some injuries are moderate or beyond that."
"Iris, your team is the key to the victory for us in this task. Your team will drain the life energy from the incoming beasts and replenish the energy of the Attack unit."
Unlike the previous task, they won't be leaving their Celestial Pillar. So, the Elder Brother made the changes accordingly as he helped them understand each one of their duties.
