[Congratulations! You have finished the Trial of Myth!]

[You have advanced to Epic Myth!]

[Please choose the following rewards!]

[(Bloodline) (Class) (Artifact)]

Rosalie looked visibly exhausted, much more exhausted than the first two trials. She leaned her back on the monolith, the center of the trial. She slowly came down, resting her butt on the ground, closing her eyes. The reward was not her focus, but the break was.

She wanted to finish the trial as soon as possible, and she had been fighting the monster wave non-stop from the fiftieth wave to the seventieth wave, the last wave of monsters for the trial. She lost track of time, but she had been awake for at least seven days. Everything in her sight was monsters, the burning beast, nothing else.

The Flame Empress rested for ten minutes before slowly opening her eyes. The reward was not her focus as she took out a flask of water from her inventory, finishing the water in one shot. After that, she opened her lunch box, enjoying the food made by Elinova. A little bit of rest and good food helped her to regain her focus.

After having a nice little break, she focused on her reward. The Talent was no longer there as a choice for her, but it was to be expected. She tapped Bloodline immediately without a second thought. That was her choice for the reward of the Trial of Myth, having been planning it before even she took the first trial.

[Evolve Current Bloodline] [Chaos Griffon] [Abyssal Cerberus] [Sacred Phoenix]

She was given a choice to evolve her current bloodline. If she had to guess the evolved bloodline, it should be the Drake King bloodline just like Areth. If she was lucky, maybe a Dragon Bloodline. However, she did not want to take the risk when she had a better choice.

The Flame Empress had heard about the Griffon from the main continent where she came from. It was a creature with a lion's body and an eagle's head. From what she knew, the creature's main attribute was Wind, not fire. But the word chaos in the name threw her off a little bit. It was for sure a better version of the normal Griffon, but she wanted a bloodline to increase the power of her fire. She was not sure if that Chaos Griffon was fire affinity.

Abyssal Cerberus was another legend from the main continent. The hound had three heads, gargantuan in size, and it had a fire element, but it was black fire. The creature was known as the Demon King's pet who invaded their world. But it was just a legend, she did not see the actual Cerberus with her own eyes.

If both Griffon and Cerberus were very rare creatures, then Phoenix was a myth. No one had seen the creature,  something that existed in the legend only. The choice was obvious the moment she saw [Sacred Phoenix] was on the list. She chose [Sacred Phoenix] without a second thought. The Firebird was the safest choice, and also she was fond of the creature.

The moment she made her choice, her body was lit on fire. Her hair, body, and everything turned into golden fire. A pair of golden fire wings formed on her back. At the same time, she could feel the extreme heat inside her, especially her heart.

The Flame Empress fell on her knees, clutching her chest. Her breath became hurried as the pain increased. For a Fire Elementalist, she had forgotten the feel of the heat from the fire, but she sensed it once more. She felt like her heart was on fire. Her body fell to the side, curling up while clutching her chest. She grunted in pain as the pain was truly unbearable.

Slowly her body was shrouded in the fire that slowly formed a cocoon. Rosalie's body hid inside the golden fire cocoon. Ten seconds later, her scream resounded from the cocoon. The painful process became even more painful, and she could no longer hold her scream.

The painful process was over in thirty minutes. The golden fire cocoon dissipated, revealing Rosalie who was still curling on the ground. Sweat covered her face as her breath was still ragged.

"It… was more… more painful than the first one…." Rosalie was talking about the Drake Bloodline awakening. It was painful, but she held it. However, this one was more painful than that time. Then she heard the notification from the System, telling her that she had successfully changed her bloodline. Then she heard more notifications as the bonus from the bloodline calibration applied to her stat. There was a big boost in her Magic Power attribute. Not just that, she obtained an innate ability from her bloodline, [Sacred Flame]. Her fire evolved into Sacred Flame, and the flame had two abilities, a highly destructive power and also a healing power.

That was right, the flame could be used to heal, but there was a restriction for the healing. She could only heal someone with fire affinity or neutral affinity. That meant the healing could not be used on Zowen for example who mastered her Lighting Magic to a certain extent or other Elementalist with different affinity than the fire. Neutral affinity was someone who mastered no elemental power which most people did. It was rare for a warrior who mastered an elemental power. Of course, Tang Shaoyang was an exception.

Rosalie was satisfied with her reward and took the exit portal. It was the same as usual, making her report then she went back to her room. The first thing she did as soon as she returned to the room was to take a quick shower to wash off the sweat. She felt sticky after three weeks of not washing her body. She spent three weeks finishing the Trial of Myth. After the satisfying shower, she threw her body onto the bed. As soon as her body touched the bed, a light snore could be heard in the room. The bed was just that comfortable, and she was too exhausted to think about anything.

It was a dreamless sleep for Rosalie, but she had guests the moment she woke up. It was not Elinova, but Zaneos and Zowen who came to her room. They seemed to have something to talk about with her, a serious discussion she assumed at the sight of their solemn expression.

"We have decided to form a party to explore the Dimensional Tower. Do you want to join us?"
