Chapter 143: What did you eat?
Meanwhile, Damon finally reached the sixth break point and felt like he was on the verge of collapse. His entire body ached, his head was spinning, and his health was dropping like a stone. Each breath in that freezing water was killing him by almost half. Even with all his blood reserves and regeneration, he couldn’t go any further.
If he tried to push just a little more, he’d die instantly. He knew it.
Frustration and exhaustion hit him all at once. He prided himself on being strong, on always pushing the limits, but this place was on a whole different level. It was like the abyss itself was trying to crush his very soul.
He knew he might be able to push a bit more if he risked everything, but that would be suicide. He needed to be smarter than that. If he wanted to reach the bottom, he’d need a better plan.
His ice affinity had already reached Rank B, and it was not going to be easy to increase it further. He needed to step outside of this cold to come up with a plan.
Mulling over it, he swam back up to the surface when he noticed the big crowd gathered around. All Frozen Throne guild members. Coincidentally, a big system display screen now flashed on the side of the black pool with various names and rankings.
"Hmmm? Did this happen because the number of people taking this trial increased?" Damon pondered silently. He had never seen anything like this before, even in his last lifetime. These kinds of places would never be made open to the general public, so this was his first time experiencing this in person.
While Damon was calmly observing, a few tongues wagged about.
"Look who’s first on the rankings," Mendoza sneered. "I guess the frost pearls weren’t the only treasure you pocketed. At least tell us about it. What is this godly item that shot you to the top? What did you eat this time?"
