Chapter 1401 - 1400: Plethora Of Rewards (1)
Kat PoV
"I... suppose this could have been a worse reward, no? At least it is useful and rather permanent."
Tossing the vial of crystalized blood up and catching it before it could shatter against the ground, I admired the few frozen drops of blood before looking at Draka, who was nodding slowly as she uncorked her own and placed on of them on her tongue.
It melted immediately and seeped into her tongue, causing the Dragonkin’s lips to curl slightly in disgust before she swallowed it down, letting it flow into her and begin doing its magic; we were back at camp resting after a long search in those snowy forests, waiting for the return of the others while we made use of our reward.
Something simple yet nice to have, an upgrade to our bloodlines again was a bit of a surprise all things considered, but since it was just exclusive to those with Ice Magic I knew it had to actually be good.
Otherwise, why would it be limited to those with only a single specific element, and why would it be in a somewhat difficult Trial?
It wasn’t difficult because of the combat but instead because of the mental warfare, and that slow, insidious creeping into our minds that the Faeries had done as they tried to drag us down into the snow to die.
Dying in that Trial was a real possibility when compared to everything else we had done, but we had overcome it and emerged with a reward, one that was swiftly used by the Dragonkin as she let out a long, very cold breath.
"That... was quick. Hm... I don’t feel different, but... that doesn’t mean it didn’t work..?"
I stared at her for a few seconds and tried to spot any physical changes like with our arrays that we had used, but there was nothing for me to find; now I was doubting myself but at the same time I just had to believe that it would work.
