'Ding,
The host received his reward: The God Grade Item.
As soon as the ring fell into his hands, Leo received a system notification, informing him that it was the reward from the mission [Ancient Beast's Request].
"Human, this is the reward I promised to give for giving me 10 corpses of the City Leaders of this world."
While swallowing the corpses, the Ancient Beast informed Leo about the ring and continued saying,
"You are following both the [Hero's Path] and the [Cultivation Path]. For the [Hero's Path], you will not have any problem growing stronger; however, progressing on the [Cultivation Path] is hard and after reaching a certain grade, the progress would be so slow that you will give up."
"Hm."
Leo was about to check the details on the ring; however, the Ancient Beast's words piqued his interest, making him fully focus on listening to it.
It was not very hard for Leo to understand why the progress on the [Hero's Path] would be easier because all the gods were encouraging the natives of the world to walk on that path.
Moreover, after successfully completing the World Assessment or the Re: World Assessment, the rewards were mostly the things that help those in the [Hero's Path].
"This ring will greatly help you progress faster in your [Cultivation Path] just by wearing it. "
The Ancient Voice explained the usage of the ring.
"Thanks for the item."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLeo wanted the item that would be helpful to his cultivation; however, he seemed a little disappointed if the ring had only one effect.
It was a God Grade item and obviously, he was expecting something heaven-defying.
"Haha…human, you look disappointed with the item; however, there is something heaven-defying thing you can do with this ring."
As a beast that lived for more than a millennium, it could easily sense Leo's emotions. So, it explained about the other effect which was, in fact, the main use of the ring.
"However, your strength is very low as of now. So, it will be sealed."
As Leo was excited to hear there was a heaven-defying effect on the ring, his excitement disappeared when he heard the latter part of the Ancient Beast's words.
"Don't be disappointed again. You are young and have already become the Legend Grade Hero. So, you only need to break through two more grades and become the Ancient Hero to unlock that heaven-defying effect on the ring I gifted you."
The Ancient Beast didn't wait for Leo's response as it continued to speak, "Since you have given me so much food and made my stomach completely filled, I will give you a few more gifts."
'Swiish'
While explaining to Leo about the ring, the Ancient Beast had already swallowed all the corpses on the ground. So, it decided to give another reward to Leo for giving such valuable corpses to it.
Of course, those corpses were not valuable for an Ancient Beast; however, it's been hungry for centuries and at the same time, the one who gave the corpses to it was only a Legend Grade Hero.
If he could retrieve all the valuable items from the corpses and use them for him, he would become a Mythical Grade Hero or even higher in no time.
Since the other party was so generous, as an Ancient Beast, it decided to give a few more gifts to Leo.
'Swoosh'
'Swoosh'
Soon, three glowing lights shot out of the huge Ancient Beast and entered Leo's body.
'Ding,
The host has received a drop of a pure bloodline. A new bloodline will be unlocked.
'Ding,
The host has received a Special Void Stone. Upgrading the grade of the most suitable void/space type talent.
'Ding,
The host has received a Grade 5 World Ticket (Cultivation World).
As they entered his body, Leo received a series of system notifications that gave him one shock after another.
'It is a good thing I gave all the corpses to the Ancient Beast. The rewards are good.'
Finally, the small doubt of whether he did a good thing by giving all the corpses to the Ancient Beast or not, had disappeared after seeing the items he received from it.
Also, not to mention that the system will be giving him a few more rewards.
"I advise you to enter that Cultivation World after you unlock the 'sealed ability' of the ring. Otherwise, you will die before you know it."
The Ancient Beast warned Leo and said a few more things.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"It's time for me to leave this damned world."
The Ancient Beast was excited to leave the Grade 2 Void Dragon after so many centuries; however, it suddenly remembered something and informed Leo.
"I owe you a favour for releasing me from this damned; however, I will be too busy from now on. So, I can't complete it; however, as long as you are alive, I will come back for you and repay that favour."
'Swoosh'
The Ancient Beast didn't wait for Leo's response and directly disappeared from the cave.
'Rumble'
As soon as the Ancient Beast disappeared, the entire place started shaking as though it would collapse at any moment now.
[Teleportation]
'Swoosh'
With a single thought, Leo also disappeared from his place and appeared outside the [Nether Ice Prison].
'As I expected, it was sealed in this [Nether Ice Prison] by someone.'
Looking at the ruins in front of him, Leo silently thought in his head.
Leo already had these doubts regarding the appearance of an Ancient Beast in a Grade 2 World.
Moreover, from how the Ancient Beast had requested him to bring 10 corpses of the city leader, Leo could tell that the Ancient Beast was unable to leave the [Nether Ice Prison].
'I wonder whether it was the 10 corpses or the death of the [World Emperor] or overthrowing the [World God] that helped the Ancient Beast to become free from this world.'
Leo thought of all the possibilities before shaking his head, 'Whatever. I got some good items and completed the missions from the system.'
'Now, let's check the information on the ring using the system.'
With that thought in mind, Leo looked at the golden ring on his index finger to assess it.
