--- A very Tough Battle and Huge Rewards

A few minutes later

*Shwoooosh!* *Bang!* -3,194,000

[You killed Glenn, The Examiner(B+)Lvl.10]

[Congratulations on passing the 8th level of the trial!]

[Would you like to continue?]

He didn't waste any time fighting the trio head on as he was quite on the rush, so he just sneak attacked them from far away with his bow using powershot.

'Heh! Seriously, i can't get enough of that damage! Alice, this is still legal right?'

[This is still legal, Master.]

'G-good to know...' With his mouth twitching, he didn't pursue the subject anymore.

Without any hesitation, he said, "Continue!"

[Preparing the final challenge...]

'Huh?'

[Final challenge begin!]

After the cold voice of Gaia ended, he was teleported on a small round stage about a 500 meter radius. It was walled on all sides like a gladiator's arena. A portal appeared a few meters in front of him.

What a appeared was a tall burly man about 3 meters with a darkish red skin. He was only wearing an animal hide for an undergarment. His whole body was riddled with tattoos and you can see two small axe strapped on his hips. Jagged knuckledusters equipped on both of his hands. Without any warning, he vanished from his sight, only to appear in front of him.

[Barbaric Rush]! "Eh!?"

*Bang!* -97,012 [Death Immune]! "GUH!!!" *Bam!*

He flew a few meters away and landed on the ground hard after receiving a punch in the gut, spurting lots of blood.

"Guhak!" *cough* *cough* *cough*

'Can't breath...wasn't this even more painful than the damage i recieved from the fallen hero before?'

[...]

'Alice?'

[Replying to master, the current pain sensitivity is 300%]

'Wait, what the fu-!!!'

*Blurgh!!!" *cough* *cough* *cough* *huff* *huff* *huff*

He spurted another ungodly amount of blood and was already on the verge of losing his consciousness.

'What kind of bullshit is this? Can't you do anything about it, i might die from this torture you know?'

[No master. Please endure it...]

'Ugh!!! I feel like you're enjoying this...'

[...]

[You recieved a fatal damage, Max Berserk Activated!]

'No shit man!'

No one knows if his berserk activated bacause of the damage he recieved from the barbarian or from knowing about his current pain sensitivity...

[+100%DMG/DEF/DMG Reduc., +1000% Crit DMG, Death Immunity and No Heal for 5 minutes.]

'If this is reality, i probablity would have had a large hole on my stomach by now lying in a pool of my own blood...'

Standing up with great effort, he looked up to his enemy, only to notice that it was just standing there, arms crossed while looking down at him with a wide grin.

[The Last Examiner(A+)Lvl.10

HP: 20,496,000 MP:0 Atk: 129,350

Skill: Barbaric Rush, Might of the Tribe, Berserker, Hyperthrowing, Bronze Skin, Warcry, Merciless Strikes]

'This bastard...do monters here has some kind intelligent AI? This guy is clearly mocking me!'

[Yes, Master. Monsters, especially the humanoid ones ranked Elite and above will have an intelligent AI, especially the boss class. The higher the rank, the smarter it is. They're also extremely proficient in combat.]

'Elite? As in C ranked! Unbelievable! No wonder those powerhouses only had that much progress in 2 years. Thinking about this, my high attributes ain't that illegal after all...'

[...]

'Those two as well, thanks to their Divine Talents, Legendary equipment and some Epics that i have given, they manage to beat the 7th Level. This is pretty much impossible, no matter how incredible you are in combat...'

[Yes, Master. An elite humanoid monster is at least twice better than a human who reached the limit of humanity in terms of combat proficiency.]

'...'

[But master does not need to worry, as this game exists for the sole purpose of breaking the shackles of humanity's limit. After all...]

'Huh? Alright...whatever...'

After his inner dialogue with his system, he unleashed his glaive. Ready to take on his opponent in a close combat. This 5 minutes will decide everything.

[Earthquake]!

He started with his AOE spell to try slowing his opponent down. To his surprise, the barbarian jumped towards him.

*Beng!* *clang!* *clang!* *clang!* -2419...-2419...-2419...-2419...-2419

Sparks were flying everywhere with the clash of knucks and blades. His mastery over his polearm had improved in the past 9 days of his training and it is currently shown on this battle.

Since the effective radius of his spell was 2KM, the Barbarian has nowhere to step on but to just accept the debuff and periodical damage.

[Warcry]! *Roar!* [Merciless Strikes]!

*Bam!* *Bam!* *Bam!* -0 -0 -0 [Stun Immunity] [Stun Immunity]

"GUH!!! Too bad for you, i can't be stunned...heh!"

Enduring all the pain, he was counter attacking on his own, landing a clean hit occasionally. He even throw some of his sure hit skills to even deal more damage.

*shing!* *shing!* *shing!* *clang!* -723,100 *clang!* [Skyfall]! [Magic Missile]! -7,747 , -7,747, -8,062, -8,062...

He was sometimes getting thrown like a ragdoll due to his opponent's greater strength. Weirdly enough, both of them had a smile on thier faces as if they were in their own world.

['M' meets 'M'...]

Twitching his mouth, he said 'My dear Alice... We difinitely need to have a nice talk later.'

[Yes, Master.]

Time passes and the battle raged on...1 Min 75%, 2 Min 69%, 3 min, 61%, 4 Min 55%, 4:55... he was thrown far away again...

*Bang!* *Bam!* *cough* *cough*

[Death Immunity has ended.]

'Ugh! This seriously hurts alot. But i don't feel like losing at all...'

Completely battered and bruised all over, he stood up once more with great difficulty. You can even hear some of his bones cracking just by standing up. But his eyes were still shining brightly and his grin never left his mouth.

[A true 'M' *guhum* Man indeed!]

'Haaaa...my Alice is completely gone... Since your upgrade, it feels like you turned into a teasing little sister now. Is this your brat stage? I really need to upgrade you soon to make you more mature.'

[...]

While he was walking forward in a slightly fast pace and having a side internal dialogue with his system, he suddenly thought of an idea to win the fight.

Quickly, he ran at his full speed towards the barbarian, his glaive, on a slashing motion slowly going down while the barbarian was ready to recieve the attack with a similar grin. When suddenly...

[Blink]! [Groundstomp]! *Bam!* -176,190

He teleported behind his opponent then stomped afterwards. It was almost instantaneous that the Barbarian didn't even have the time to react. He was afraid the opponent will jump to dodge the skill so he was saving it. Thankfully his plan worked and the stun landed.

'Gotcha!'

With a grin, he started his final 10 seconds of attack.

-723,100...-723,100...-723,100...-723,100

Attacking almost 3 times every 2 seconds, the Barbarian's HP was dwindling at a fast rate.

6 sec 20%, 4 sec 12%, 2 sec 3%, 1 sec 0% *Thud!* *Bam!* *huff* *huff* *huff*

The barbarian fell on the ground dead, slowly turning into moats of bright white light, while Chris sat on the floor panting like a dog.

[You killed The Last Examiner(A+)Lvl.10]

[You cleared the final challenge!]

[Evaluating...]

[Congratulations, your evaluation is SSS!]

'Phew! Triple S huh? Is this the highest? How about EX?'

[This is the highest grade master.]

'Oh.'

[A world announcement will be made due to your achievement. Do you want to show your name?]

Hearing the cold and indifferent voice of Gaia, he said loudly with a small laugh, "Haha! YES!!!"

[DING!]

Minutes after a world announcement, yet another one rang in the sky, making all the people look up once more.

[Congratulations to Player 'Despair' for clearing the Newbie Challenge, with the evaluation of SSS! He is rewaded with Evolution Stone(SSS), 1,000 Spirit Coins, +1 Extra Class Slot, World Lottery Ticket(S), 10,000 Fame and title, 'Ultimate Rookie'. An additional 10,000 Platinum Coins will be given for the first time evaluation of SSS. His achievement will be recorded in the annals of history!]

[Congratulations to Player.....]

[Congratulations.....]

The world announcement rang 3 times before disappearing, leaving another minute or two of silence among the players. Just looking up at the sky in daze, trying process in their brain what they just read. Meanwhile, the culprit was checking out his rewards with a wide smile on his bloodied face...

"Good lord! Spirit Coins! Coins! Not stones! Haha!"

[Spirit Coin: Used to buy high level spells on the mage's tower shop. Can also be used on mysterious shops.]

"Good stuff! How about the others..."

[Evolution Stone(SSS)Max: Can be used to upgrade anything below SSS rank. Cooldown: 3 Months, Can only be used twice on the same target.]

"T-this...anything? As in anything? Does it work on talent?"

[Yes, Master.]

"Hahaha! Amazing! With this i don't need to cough up billions of Exp points!"

[World Lottery Ticket(S): Allows the user to open a world roulette and spin once for free. The rewards will all be S ranked items with a small chance on landing on SS rank item. Item vanishes after use.]

"Unupgradable huh? Ah right, i have an A rank of this as well! I'll roll later tonight."

[Ultimate Rookie: Gives additional 5,000 fame when equipped. +1,000 DMG, +10% Crit. and 25% Discount/Sell Price on any NPCs. Does not take up the title slot.]

"Oh? Good! Just the discount/sell price alone is more than enough! Hehe!"

'Huuuuf later, i guess...?'

A portal had long appear in front of him but he logged out first as he was so mentally spent. And started to sleep like a log with a smile on his face.
