5. Your Spirit Wraiths can only use one skill, but that one skill is 500% stronger.
‘What kind of hell awaits us if we are getting these types of boons? Or the challenge is completely different?’
“What kind of crazy powers are these?”
“Yeah, what the hell.”
“But if we are getting options to select one power of this level, then whatever challenge ahead is must be nuts…”
“Whatever it is, we are doing it,” Lily said in a stern and resolved voice as her glance swept past the group before adding, “We are the only ones who can do it.”
Almond smiled as his carefree voice rang out, “And we will take rank 1 in the leaderboard as usual.”
Everyone was fired up with Lily’s and Almond’s words!
“That’s right! We are fucking rank 1 party in the entire universe!”
“Hahaha, now I am excited to see what’s coming for us.”
The party turned in high spirits as everyone was affected, even Jian, as everyone started looking at their boons to make their selections.
‘One skill only, but 500% more potent in every way,’ Almond’s eyes glinted as he suddenly said, “Everyone! Share your boons with each other and check them out. Given how crazy these powers are, we can actually create some powerful combos.”
“And given how powerful these boons can make us, I’m pretty sure whatever we’ll be facing can not be insta-killed with a single combo like we’ve been doing.”
“Maximize your specialities with combos.”
Everyone’s eyes shone as they realized the true potential of the boons, and they immediately began to explore that potential.
After five minutes, grim breakers had finished selecting the boons, causing the second task to appear.
[You will proceed to Task 2 upon landing on one of those small islands.]
[Task 2—The final showdown]
-Objective(s):
—> Attack the Pearl King Leviathan and survive for 1 minute.
—> Reach 1,000,000 score.
-Reward(s):
—> Party contribution ranking reward.
—> Heroic Reward Chest based on Score.
-Penalty:

[Executioner’s Headhunt means that your party will have to designate one of your party members as a ‘Sacrificial Sheep’ to be executed within 5 minutes or random 3 people will be executed.]
“…”
“…”
“…”
Everyone was silent even after reading everything as if digesting just the actual fuck they read.
Almond’s laugh broke the silence as he said, “This is interesting. Grim breakers, just know that we are easily crossing that score and surviving this.”
Natalia loudly snorted. “Indeed. We are fucking crossing that score with Almond. Nobody can stop us.”
“We are ready for whatever comes in front of us,” Lily clenched her daggers tightly, hazy dark wisps and threads dancing around her in tune with her anticipation and thrill.
“Indeed. Let’s fuck whatever that’s coming for us,” Marcus grinned.
“Hell yeah,” Amir shouted with a red face, pumping himself up. “I’m not scared, you are!”
“Hahaha, don’t soil your pants now,” Ron laughed.
“Well then, everyone, let us proceed,” Almond grinned with the same excitement as he was looking forward to this new type of heroic challenge.
Snapping his finger, he teleported everyone to one of the islands at the center of the ocean.
Although this looked like an ocean, it was not boundless as Almond could feel the borders just around a 5-kilometer radius.
And he was right when his domain captured more area of the ocean after arriving on the island.
“The ocean isn’t big. Only the visual is big,” Almond informed everyone.
“They really know how to scare us then,” Jemma wryly smiled. “If such a big ocean was our battleground for this task, it would be crazy.”
“True,” Talia nodded. “And Leviathan seems like it’s going to be that giant sea monster we’ve read in fantasy books.”
“Let’s see how’s this one,” Finn grinned as lightning crackled around his figure. “I can’t wait to try my combo with Amir and Noah.”
“Something’s coming,” Almond suddenly said as he could feel movement two kilometers deep into this ocean, and with his domain being like a sphere, he could observe the creature.
His eyes flickered as he created a screen for everyone using Mana relayed what he was seeing there. “This is the Pearl King Leviathan.”
Everyone saw the huge 200-meter-long snake-like creature with shining dark green and blue scales, and giant wing-like fins on both sides of its dreadful head.
Two giant fangs rested outside, and an array of deadly teeth inside as it opened its mouth to devour a bunch of fish. Continue reading at empire
It moved zig zag across the ocean, taking time to arrive on the surface.
[Countdown starts now. All the best, heroic adventurers.]
[1:00]
[0:59]
Everyone heard the sweet monotone voice and knew it was coming.
*Splash!*
Pearl King Leviathan emerged half a kilometer away from their island, its head facing them as it let out a loud screech, blasting a gust of wind towards them as the surrounding ocean whipped out wave upon waves.
Grim Breakers had activated their Body Enfold and Fortification while Marcus also activated his SSS-rank defensive skill—Geoprime General’s Halo.1
Everyone watched Pearl King Leviathan’s status while getting ready for impact as its mouth opened and energy gathered.
