Chapter 3759 Giving A Gift
Nieva once again brought Kai to the space where the holy maidens were training.
As soon as they entered, they could hear a series of shouts emanating from within, accompanied by the sound of explosions echoing through the void.
This was a scene where the holy maidens were sparring against each other.
Only in this way could these holy maiden achieve the greatest level of teamwork.
The journey to the polar region was to commence tomorrow. As for how many of these holy maidens would survive and return, it was anyone’s guess.
“Everyone, stop!” Nieva ordered.
Immediately after, over a dozen holy maidens emerged from various places.
Bianca stepped forward and addressed Nieva, “Ms. Nieva, my comrades and I have been training rigorously. On this upcoming journey to the polar region, we will not fail our mission. We will surely find the resources Lunarius Palace needs.”
“You’ve all worked hard, and we’re setting off tomorrow. Practicing strenuously today won’t make much of a difference. It might be better to get some rest instead. Today, you all are free to leave this place and get some air outside,” Nieva declared.
Upon hearing this, the holy maidens were extremely delighted. After all, they had been staying there for several months without ever leaving.
“Thank you, Ms. Nieva!” the holy maidens uttered in unison.
“Mr. Chance came by today. He also brought gifts for you all.”
After Nieva finished speaking, she glanced at Kai.
All the holy maidens turned their attention to him too. However, their expressions were far from pleased. Instead, their disdain toward him had intensified.
They had assumed that Kai was giving gifts in an attempt to bribe them, hoping they would comply with his wishes throughout the journey.
Kai paid no mind to the gazes of these holy maidens. Instead, he took out the black tortoiseshell he had crafted.
a faint glow radiated from the Black tortoiseshell, with its array runes appearing and disappearing intermittently!
“A black tortoiseshell?”
Bianca was instantly taken aback.
It was common knowledge that the black tortoiseshell was incredibly sturdy, capable of being used as a shield.
One that had array runes engraved on it was even more hardy.
“That’s right. I purchased these black tortoiseshells from Southedge City and spent the entire night engraving array runes on them. Each of you should carry one. At crucial moments, these black tortoiseshells might very well save your life. They can withstand a strike from at least an Eighth Level Tribulator
without any issues.”
After Kai finished speaking, he casually tossed out a dozen or so black tortoiseshells, which landed accurately in the hands of the holy maidens.
Upon hearing that the array runes on the black tortoiseshell were engraved by Kai himself, the holy maidens were filled with a mix of disbelief and confusion.
One should know that an array master was quite a rarity in Ethereal Realm, especially one who could engrave array runes on tortoiseshells.
However, Kai’s appearance didn’t even come close to a senior array master at all.
Kai noticed the confusion on the faces of the holy maidens, and with a light smile, he asked, “Do you have doubts about how strong the black tortoiseshells are?”
The holy maidens didn’t comment, but they were indeed worried. After all, the array runes were engraved by Kai. If they were not high-level enough, the black tortoiseshell wouldn’t be able to withstand a single strike from an Eighth Level Tribulator.
Kai glanced at Nieva, who responded with a slight nod. She understood what Kai’s intention was.
Subsequently, Kai tossed the black tortoiseshell in his hand into mid-air, while Nieva gave her sleeve a flick.
A chilling flash filled the space in an instant.
With just a casual wave of her hand, the power she exuded was that of a Ninth Level Tribulator.
The blistering light struck the black tortoiseshell decisively.
The tortoiseshell began to shimmer with a dazzling light, the array runes on it activating. In that instant, it expanded dramatically!
Boom!
The blistering light abruptly vanished, and the array runes on the black tortoiseshell began to fracture slowly. Following that, the black tortoiseshell fell to the ground.
Crack began to spread across the its surface before it fell apart entirely.
The holy maidens couldn’t help but be astounded by the scene that unfolded before their eyes.
The black tortoiseshell, combined with the array runes, can actually withstand a blow from a Ninth Level Tribulator!
