SSS-Rank Awakening: My Talent Multiplies Everything novel Chapter 186

Chapter 186: Speed Running Tower Trials.

BOOM!

The massive golem-like monster collapsed into a pile of shattered rubble.

Dust and fragments of stone filled the air as the creature’s body broke apart beneath the overwhelming force of the attack. For several seconds, the only sound was the settling of debris.

Then the dust gradually cleared.

Kael stood in the middle of the destruction.

His gaze swept across the scattered remains of the monster before settling on the faint glow coming from somewhere beneath the rubble.

"This should be the last one."

He walked over and casually pushed aside several chunks of broken stone before reaching down and picking up a shimmering crystal.

The crystal pulsed faintly within his palm, radiating a strange magical energy.

Kael examined it for a moment.

"This should be the final ingredient."

He added the crystal to his inventory.

With that, the difficult part of the trial was essentially over.

All three ingredients had been gathered.

Now he simply needed to return to the village.

Kael looked toward the direction he had come from before checking the trial’s timer.

"So it shouldn’t have been more than ten minutes, right?"

He checked.

His expression relaxed slightly.

Only around eight minutes had passed.

"Good."

The trial’s rules were simple. One villager would die every ten minutes, meaning that if Kael returned before the first ten-minute mark and completed the trial, there was a good chance that none of the villagers would die.

If that happened, he might even be able to obtain a perfect score.

The monsters themselves had never been the problem.

They were simply too weak.

The real difficulty of the trial was the distance.

The three ingredient locations were ridiculously far apart.

Kael had traveled between them at his maximum speed, yet it had still taken him roughly eight minutes to gather everything.

He looked toward the distant forest.

"No wonder this is a Hell Difficulty trial."

For an ordinary Hunter, simply traveling between the three locations would consume a significant amount of time. Then they would have to deal with the monsters guarding each ingredient, gather the required materials, and somehow make it back before thirty villagers die.

Even if they were strong enough to handle the monsters, they would be lucky to barely pass the trial.

Getting a perfect score would be another matter entirely.

Kael didn’t waste any more time thinking about it.

He had everything he needed.

It was time to return.

BOOM!

His figure shot forward.

The forest blurred around him as Kael accelerated to his maximum speed, trees becoming streaks of green as he tore through the terrain.

He didn’t bother slowing down.

The village was already within sight.

The moment he arrived, he saw a figure waiting for him.

It was an NPC, an old man whose aged body looked completely wrinkled and dried up.

The old man immediately stepped forward.

"Welcome back, Adventurer."

Kael didn’t waste time responding.

He opened his inventory and handed over the three ingredients.

The first was the magic orb he had obtained from the golem.

The second was the honeysuckle nectar.

The third was the heartbeat crystal.

The old man carefully accepted all three items, his expression filled with relief.

"Thank you for saving our village, Adventurer."

Kael barely heard him.

His attention was already fixed on the notification screen that had appeared before his eyes.

Kael stared at the numbers.

Then he sighed.

"Well, this is quite disappointing."

A seventy-times multiplier wasn’t exactly what he had hoped to see after receiving a perfect score in the trial, especially after some of the ridiculous multipliers he had obtained in the past.
