Seol Jihu entered the final trial at last. Just like the previous two trials, repetitive days began once again. He learned a few things about the Chamber of Void while climbing the third peak endlessly. The first was that it wasn’t just his five senses that was being limited. Rather, everything around him was disappearing. Not only the slope but even the boulder he was pushing vanished. With his sense of touch gone, he could no longer tell if he was even climbing up a slope or walking on flat…-

After more than 1000 days of ceaseless repetition, the trial finally reached a new phase. Black Seol Jihu began teaching Seol Jihu Spatial Abilities and a variety of other skills. This didn’t mean that Seol Jihu stopped climbing. Like Jang Maldong, Black Seol Jihu equated experience with training. He wanted Seol Jihu to learn as he continued his trial. And Seol Jihu had no reason to refuse. When he reached the bottom of the second slope, he waited for the boulders to appear.…

‘It’s over.’ The pair thought as they looked up at the slope. It was obvious what would happen next. He would fall, be crushed, and be trampled to death. And then what? What would happen to Seol Jihu once he revived at the starting point? Just as their thoughts reached this point, the pair set out in opposite directions. Black Seol Jihu headed for the peak, while Baek Haeju ran towards the starting point at the bottom of the slope. However. ‘…’ Seol Jihu’s face…

Puk! Black Seol Jihu stabbed his fingers into his own eyes. “You know that you’re walking on a thorny road.” He then put his hands over his ears, injecting mana into them and destroying his own eardrums. “Why are you trying to cross it in one go? What doesn’t work won’t work no matter how many times you try it.” He did the same to his nose. “Ah, of course, there are people who can do it.” Meanwhile, he blabbered on as if he was used to this process by now. “While…

Loss of vision. Using this simple, straightforward method, Black Seol Jihu easily increased the difficulty level of the second trial. The day he passed the first trial, Seol Jihu faced a new challenge. Pushing the boulder up from the foot of the hill was now a problem. Even though he’d walked this same path thousands of times before, he was still not sure he was going the right way. Climbing was now much more time consuming than before because he had to concentrate all his senses on going…

Unsurprisingly, Phi Sora received a positive reply from the Eva Royal Palace. The Federation would even come out to the border region to greet them. While forming a contract with a Spirit would be entirely up to Yi Seol-Ah, the Federation said they would provide as much help as they could during the process. And so with the Federation guiding them, Yi Seol-Ah and Marcel Ghionea arrived at their destination. “Wow...” Yi Seol-Ah couldn’t close her mouth. The magnificence of Tigol…

After leaving the office, the Yi siblings quietly trudged through the hallway. Being pushed around left and right, they obviously weren’t pleased with the situation. “Noona.” While silently walking, Yi Sungjin spoke all of a sudden. “I... really want to help Mom heal.” A strong determination could be felt from his voice. “So don’t hate me too much.” Yi Seol-Ah turned her head at his out-of-the-blue words. “Sungjin?” However, Yi Sungjin didn’t say anything…

“That’s it for today’s meeting.” Phi Sora, who was sitting cross-legged at the desk, loosened her arms. “I’m sure that by now everyone, including myself, knows that High Ranker skills aren’t easy to wield.” A total of four people were listening to Phi Sora. All of them were members of the first team placed under her command, discussing their future course of action in a private conference room. “I contacted Grandpa yesterday. He told me he’s planning to leave Haramark with…

One thing Seol Jihu noticed while walking on the Path of the Soul was that this place also had four seasons. It was exceedingly hot when he first entered, but now a cool breeze gently brushed against his skin. It was now autumn. But just because the season changed, it didn’t mean that he did anything different. Seol Jihu was still stuck at the first mountain path, trying to push the immobile boulder up. Thankfully, he wasn’t without progress. He now only had eighteen steps to go to reach…

What Seol Jihu saw when he first opened his eyes was a boulder. A boulder that had grown to the size of a house was filling his line of sight. At that moment, Baek Haeju, who was standing in front of him absent-mindedly, stretched her left arm to the side. Surprisingly, the boulder moved on its own as if it was remotely attached to Baek Haeju’s hand, and then it rolled down. Only then did Seol Jihu’s vision clear up. Seol Jihu’s breath paused while being astonished at Baek Haeju’s…
