Chapter 59: Trial End
The Secret Realm was finally reaching its end.
The Light Church naturally wasn’t pleased with what had happened.
They had expected Lucas to become the greatest beneficiary of the inheritance.
Instead, Lucas had been defeated by Kaiser and turned into one of his undead.
The Light Church immediately tried to stop Kaiser from leaving.
Several powerful experts surrounded the exit.
Kaiser calmly looked at them.
He had already expected this.
Before the situation could escalate, Magnus and several other Death Church elders stepped forward.
Their powerful auras spread across the area.
"He’s leaving with us."
One of the Light Church elders looked furious.
"He stole the inheritance of our ancestor."
Magnus calmly replied.
"The agreement never said the inheritance had to belong to the Light Church."
"He earned what he obtained."
The Light Church elders remained unwilling to accept it.
However, they also knew that starting a full battle here would have disastrous consequences.
After several tense exchanges, both sides finally backed down.
Kaiser was allowed to leave the Secret Realm with the other Death Church members.
As he walked away, he looked back at the enormous golden gate.
Nearly one year had passed inside the Secret Realm.
He had entered as a Tier 6 powerhouse with a powerful undead legion.
Now he was leaving with an even larger army, several Tier 9 undead, the inheritance of a Tier 10 powerhouse, and the remains of the Knight of Radiance.
Kaiser smiled.
"This trip was definitely worth it."
He turned around and followed Magnus and the other Death Church members away from the Secret Realm.
...
By then, the ten-year period required for his class trial had already ended.
Kaiser had fulfilled the basic requirement.
He could leave the trial world at any moment.
However, he didn’t leave.
There was no reason for him to rush.
He had already spent ten years in this world.
The people he had met here had become his friends and companions.
The Death Church had also become a place he considered home.
So Kaiser decided to remain.
Years slowly passed.
Ten years became twenty.
Twenty became fifty.
Kaiser continued fighting, exploring, studying magic, and improving his undead legion.
He eventually reached Tier 7.
Then Tier 8.
He later broke through to Tier 9.
By that point, very few people in the world could threaten him.
The Death Church also became stronger under his influence.
Kaiser continued expanding his undead army and collecting powerful souls.
Whenever a powerful enemy appeared, he either defeated them or turned them into another member of his legion.
The years continued passing.
Before Kaiser realized it, more than a hundred years had passed since he first entered the trial world.
He had long since stopped counting the exact number of years.
His appearance had barely changed.
His strength, however, had reached an entirely different level.
Eventually, Kaiser broke through to Tier 10.
He became a true Demigod.
At that point, he had become one of the strongest beings alive.
The Light Church could no longer suppress him.
The Fire Church and Earth Church were also forced to retreat whenever he appeared on the battlefield.
Kaiser eventually led the Death Church through several major wars.
The conflicts that had continued for generations finally came to an end.
The Light Church was defeated.
The other hostile Churches were also forced to surrender or retreat.
For the first time in centuries, the world entered a period of relative peace.
Kaiser didn’t stop there.
He continued studying the laws of Death and Soul Mana.
He explored ancient ruins and searched for stronger beings beyond Tier 10.
Eventually, he reached the peak of what this world could offer.
There was nothing left for him to conquer.
No stronger enemy remained.
No new realm could provide him with meaningful growth.
Kaiser stood alone on top of a mountain and looked across the world he had lived in for more than a century.
He had entered this world as a young Tier 6 powerhouse.
Now he had reached the peak of its power.
He had built an enormous undead legion.
He had obtained countless treasures.
He had defeated every major enemy.
He had even changed the balance of power between the Churches.
Kaiser quietly smiled.
"I think I’ve stayed here long enough."
It was finally time to return.
Kaiser looked toward the sky.
"Let’s see how much time has passed outside."
He activated the power of his class trial.
The familiar feeling of the trial’s connection appeared around him.
His body began to glow with faint white light.
The world around him slowly became distant.
Kaiser took one final look at the land where he had spent more than a hundred years.
"I’ll remember this place."
With that, his figure disappeared from the trial world.
The long class trial of Kaiser finally came to an end.
The next second, Kaiser opened his eyes and found himself back in the same white space.
It was the same place where he had first entered his class trial and chosen its difficulty.
Kaiser looked around for a moment before smiling.
"Thanks to my talent, even a Nightmare-level trial turned out to be easier than I expected."
He chuckled.
looked around the white space for a few seconds.
Then several notifications appeared in front of him.
[Class Trial Completed.]
[Trial Duration: 10 Years.]
[Required Duration: 10 Years.]
[Additional Survival Duration: 100+ Years.]
[Bonus Rewards have been calculated.]
Kaiser nodded
"That’s the only reason I even remained there. For the Bonus."
More notifications appeared.
The next notification appeared.
[Class Trial Evaluation is complete.]
[Final Trial Rating: EX.]
Kaiser’s eyes widened slightly.
"EX?"
He had expected a high rating after everything he had accomplished, but he hadn’t expected to receive the highest possible evaluation.
The white space suddenly trembled.
A new notification appeared.
[Congratulations.]
[You have successfully completed a Nightmare-Class Class Trial.]
[Your trial performance has exceeded all standard requirements.]
[Class function have unlocked.]
[You have obtained the EX-Rank Class: Death Genesis.]
Kaiser stared at the notification.
"Death Genesis."
He quietly repeated the name.
A class capable of reaching EX rank must be really powerful.
