Chapter 16

  We spent three hours climbing the steps, well, I was climbing, Rosa was just floating. She's lucky I don't get tired or I would've been jealous. We finally reached the summit after another five hours of climbing and looked around. There was a huge cave to the right of us, I can see a lot of books, and furnishings, the cave is probably where the second trial master lives.

  (???) "Welcome."

  A woman who looks like a 25-year-old walks out of the cave, she has pale blue hair, snow-white skin, a light blue dress, light blue sandals, and draconic eyes with light blue irises. Let's check her status.

  What the fuck!? Level 92!? She can kill us with a pinch of her fingers! No wonder it's impossible for spies to get in, nothing is getting through this level of security.

  (Crya) "My name is Crya, but you probably knew that since the Golem there should possess Appraisal. I am the second trial master."

  (Lilith) "I am Lilith and she is Rosa. How can you tell I was the one with Appraisal?"

  (Crya) "My Ancient Dragon Eyes let me some of other creatures' status, mainly their race and species, level and stats, and skills. I can't see names or titles."

  (Lilith) "I see. What is a dragon as powerful as you doing as a security check for a country of monsters weaker than you?"

  (Crya) "Well, most of Unique's inhabitants are indeed weaker than I, but their king is stronger. As for what I doing as a Trial Master for them, well, I lived on this mountain for centuries before Unique was founded, their king asked me to do this in exchange for giving me free delicious food and other things I want."

  (Lilith) "The king of Unique is stronger!?"

  (Crya) "Although I say, King, Unique isn't ruled as a monarchy, the country is governed by a council, the King is just the strongest of them and he is also the founder of Unique so he gets special treatment."

  (Lilith) "How old is he!?"

  (Crya) "You shouldn't say that in front of someone obviously far older than him. Now let's get into the test."

  Her eyes glow and she stares at us, I assume she's checking our souls to see if we have any malicious intent.

  (Crya) "Okay, you both are allowed to enter Unique. Congratulations. It has been a long time since I last saw a person from another world, I placed a mark on you two that will give you freedom to any place in the country. Now go along now."

  I was shocked that the soul search also gave away that I came from another world, I won't make a comment about it since there isn't a need to. A teleportation circle appears on the opposite side of where the stairs we came up from were. We walk into the circle and get teleported down the mountain, at least they don't force us to walk down the mountain.

  These messages appeared after we got out of the teleportation circle. Two chests materialized in front of us, this feels just like when we beat the boss of Novice's Cave. We open the chests and find these inside them.

  I finally acquired a kodachi and there is a new Magic Core for Rosa. I equip the kodachi with its sheath on my waist and Rosa swallows the Magic Core, we see her old core come out and shatter. Let's check our status, I noticed that we surpassed Level 40 and there wasn't an evolution indication meaning the requirement is higher now.

  Nothing new except for Cold Resistance, just an overall increase in strength. I can't expect much if we haven't evolved, let's go look for a town, we don't have a map but hopefully, there are roads to follow.

  While traveling, I thought of something I want to try, I grab my kodachi and cut off half of my right arm and then regenerate it. I pick up my severed arm and take out my magic steel dagger and ask Rosa if she can use her Alchemy skill to combine them.

  (Rosa) "Okay!"

  She stretches out her hands at the two items and begins.

  (Rosa) "Alchemy!"

  A magic circle appears under the two items and a bright light swallows them. After it was finished a glowing white dagger was what remained.

  It worked! Fusing my arm and my old dagger, created a far superior dagger and it's linked to me. I think about the dagger and it teleports from the ground and into my hand. Perfect. If I turn into a stronger metal in a future evolution I'm doing this again.

  We see a carriage coming along while we were walking and it stopped near us. The driver looked human but had wings and feather hair.

  A harpy. He walks toward us.

  (Flynn) "Hello. What are two cute girls like you doing out here?"

  (Lilith) "Hello. We just arrived at Unique after passing the trial back at Blizzard Mountain and we're just headed to wherever the first town we could find was."

  (Flynn) "You're outside monsters! You must be very strong to have passed the first trial. Well since you probably have no idea where you're going here's a spare map I keep just in case."

  (Lilith) "Thank you."

  (Flynn) "No problem, you wouldn't have a map with detailed information on Unique, so opens map this is where we currently are, follow the road northeast and you can find a town called Hart, keep going east from there and you'll get to the capital of Unique, Monstro."

  (Rosa) "Thank you Mr.Birdman."

  (Flynn) "Haha. No problem. pats Rosa's head Oh yeah, what kind of monsters are you two, I can't tell if you're a humanoid monster or one that acquired Humanization."

  (Lilith) "I'm a spirit golem and she's a slime."

  (Flynn) "A slime with Humanization! Those are absurdly rare! Out of the million intelligent slimes living in Unique, a thousand can take on a slimy humanoid shape, while only 5 actually have Humanization. You are one special girl."

  We say goodbye to Flynn and follow the road northeast to get to Hart.
