Chapter 55: The End.

Xiao Fen quietly watched everything before him; the Web was still increasing, like a super-sized paramecium, constantly splitting, growing, splitting again, and growing again.

If it were the previous Jack, with bones present, perhaps he could have burst out with power in this world of piled Web.

However, after the snake-like Jack was entangled by the Web, it had no base point to exert power, let alone the strength to burst out and break free from all the Web.

“This method once killed the Jack who controlled the bones, but it should actually be more effective on the second Jack.”

Xiao Fen thought this and suddenly discovered that the World Tree fragment in the Light Screen had stopped emitting light.

As the light of the World Tree gradually disappeared, not only the Web but the entire house seemed to slowly lose its life and fall into a dying state.

The floor of the third floor, having lost its vitality, could no longer bear the weight of the Web spread throughout the floor; large gaps kept appearing, and dangerous cracking sounds played almost on all the ceilings of the second floor.

Facing this situation, Xiao Fen did not dare to stay long, nor did he care about what happened to the World Tree fragment afterwards; he mobilized the last bit of his strength, ran a few steps towards the balcony, and then used his force again to roll down from the balcony.

Behind him, the entire building rapidly turned the same gray color as the surface of Lux’s Web just now, as if it had suddenly aged several hundred years; the whole house began to slowly collapse towards the center.

“No!”

Before the house completely turned into a pile of ruins, a sharp scream came from the very center of the house, also the direction of the basement, like the howl of a Demon from Hell.

Xiao Fen could clearly hear the unwillingness and anger in this scream, as well as a trace of fear.

Fear of death.

That should be the first word the snake-like Jack spoke, and also the last.

Xiao Fen rolled a few times on the ground, and his side had some abrasions.

Before he escaped the second floor, the building had already collapsed; the first to collapse was not the third floor, but the basement.

The entire building pressed vertically into that hollow basement; eventually, the second floor became one and a half floors, and this change allowed Xiao Fen not to be injured from falling after flipping over the balcony.

Ignoring the pain in his body, Xiao Fen slowly stood up and retreated a few steps.

Before his eyes was a ruin of a building.

Moreover, this ruin was also aging rapidly; almost in a few seconds, the ruin before his eyes became incompatible with this era, looking as if it had a history of hundreds of years.

No grass grew on the ruins; just looking at it could produce a sense of desolation.

There was no more Jack, and no more Lux.

Just like the name of the quest, Lux, transformed into a Web by the Energy of the World Tree fragment, had been lingering on the edge of life and death, making him perish together with Jack, letting him escape this painful world, which was also the true salvation for him.

Before Xiao Fen’s eyes, the screen appeared again.

“Congratulations, a perfect victory. You have accomplished something unbelievable.”

“Congratulations. You have completed an SS-level difficulty mission alone. This shocked and relieved Yggdrasil. It hopes that in the future, you will achieve even more perfect results.”

“Lux’s obsession with power made him lose himself in the end, relying only on instinct to resist the threat from Jack. But now, Jack entered Lux’s territory, which gave Lux a brief moment of clarity. Lux seized this opportunity and used the power granted by the Yggdrasil fragment to perish together with Jack.”

“Mission Name: Lux’s Salvation”

“Mission Completion: 110%”

“Mission Difficulty: SS”

“Mission Reward: 7000 Gene Points, one Skill Point”

“Mission Reward: Farrah’s Notes (Weapon Knowledge Section, Incomplete)”

“You have obtained Farrah’s knowledge inheritance. In the future, seriously study this knowledge, and you will benefit greatly.”

“Mission Reward: Lux’s Gratitude”

“You have the right to use the Web three times, as long as it is under Yggdrasil’s gaze.”

“Mission Reward: Farrah’s Alchemy Components (Part)”

“Farrah was once one of the greatest alchemists in history. His excessive obsession with alchemy caused great damage to his body. To prevent gene distortion caused by leveling up from further harming Farrah’s body, Yggdrasil sealed Farrah’s level, keeping him permanently at Level 12.”

“Despite this, Farrah never stopped his love for alchemy. He mastered a vast amount of Weapon Crafting. Now, Farrah’s alchemy components have been handed over to you along with his notes.”

“Farrah’s Notes and Farrah’s Alchemy Components have been transferred to your Warehouse. Please check them.”

“Mission Reward: Fisna’s Knight”

“Fisna’s Knight, Natural Item, Staff Class”

“Durability: 70/70”

“Quality: Excellent”

“Base Damage: 50”

“Constitution +20”

“Strength +10”

“Special Effect: Toughness, reduces all damage received by 15 points”

“Equipment Requirement: Constitution 50, Strength 30, Basic Melee Mastery, Basic Polearm Mastery”

“Note: This Staff can only be used under Yggdrasil’s gaze, and only in environments permitted by Yggdrasil.”

“You feel that you seem to be able to take more hits.”

“Fisna’s Knight has been transferred to your Warehouse. Please check it.”

Xiao Fen looked at the new text constantly appearing on the screen, feeling somewhat emotional. Regardless, this inexplicable entry into the Otherworld had gained him a lot.

The confusion of over ten years finally had an answer. Those Otherworlds were not illusory existences, but real worlds. What he saw was not a hallucination.

Besides, his body had become completely different from before. His body was stronger than before, and his mental state was more positive than before. From now on, he was a Trialist, and in the future, he would be an Awakened. Those classmates who had once mocked him, played tricks on him, and finally distanced themselves from him were all out of his sight.

What he wanted to see was a higher and farther world!

While Xiao Fen was distracted, the rewards related to Lux’s Salvation had already ended. After a few seconds, new messages appeared on the screen.

“Settlement begins.”

Seeing this line of text, Xiao Fen finally let out a long breath. Just then, he suddenly noticed that the clothes on his body were rapidly fading away. Besides, the leather bag on the ground had also long since disappeared, and his clothes from when he arrived in this world were spread out on the ground.

He hurriedly put on these clothes. The surrounding environment had already begun to evaporate and blur.

Xiao Fen had no interest in knowing the final result of the settlement. Whether there were a few hundred more Gene Points or a few hundred less didn’t matter to him now. Returning to the Real World as soon as possible to eat a full meal was the most important thing.
