That said, the only reason the crystal toothed tiger was so easily intimidated was because it had become a domesticated pet, and thus lost much of its fighting ability and edge.
This rhino before Dyon, was clearly different.
It radiated killing intent, in fact, its stomps were clearly meant to intimidate Dyon.

By now, Dyon was tired of waiting for this rhino to close the distance, it was still hundreds of meters away, but insisted on stomping over slowly as though it was sure that Dyon was too scared to move.

pA(nd)A no ve1 Dyon flashed forward, appearing before the metallic rhino and swinging his rusted great sword toward its shining horn without reservation.
Dyon didnt care about looking for its weak point, he just wanted to crush the rhino before him.

His Presence erupted, causing the once enraged rhino to collapse to the ground, shivering in fear.

The sudden movement caused Dyon to miss his initial target, but he didnt seem to care.
His sword violently smashed against the forehead of the shivering rhino, causing a dent of massive proportions to appear on the metal plate protecting its forehead.

For a moment, there was no blood at all except for the eruptions of skin on Dyons arm from his over-exertion whilst being injured.
But then, the rhinos forehead began to drip with a disgusting purple liquid.

By this point, the reason was clear.
The dent in the metal plate had been so forceful that the rhinos skull was completely crushed.


Dyon retracted his broadsword, holding onto its long handle as he rested it on his shoulder.
But, that was when something unexpected happened.

The rhino suddenly turned into motes of lights, swarming his large sword.

After a few moments, the lights disappeared, and it seemed as though nothing had happened, but Dyons Perception was sharp.
He noticed that his weapons weight increased by a fraction of a jin, and it seemed slightly less rusted now.
In addition, he felt that he could use slightly more of his power now.

Dyon had entered his trials completely blind, not knowing anything about any of them.
He could have probably asked his grand teacher about them, but he wanted to apply the most pressure to himself, so he felt it was better to not know anything.
So, this sequence was actually quite a surprise to him.

Within his masters memories, there was a bit of information about Life Stealing weapons that could grow stronger as they defeated enemies, and even share a portion of that power with its owner to also improve its wielder, but these weapons were exceedingly rare.

For one, materials capable of Life Stealing were extraordinarily rare, so rare in fact that even the Energy Core hadnt produced any.
If something on the level of the Energy Core couldnt produce them, one can imagine just how ridiculous such materials were.

Secondly, this applied even for the lowest ranking Life Steeling materials.


But, what was even more shocking was the fact that this third trial had brought out weapons with this ability? And, if Dyon was right, every weapon along that ten-mile-long rack was capable of this very ability!

For the first time, Dyon began to wonder just what kind of treasure this Epistemic Tower was.
It was supposedly his grand teachers creation, and quite clearly had his legacies within it, but from everything he knew and understood, when did the owner of a legacy ever place his own techniques on the bottom floor? By all logic, shouldnt his grand teachers legacies be on the top floor?

Dyon remembered the very first time he walked into the Epistemic Tower.
He found a round room with 10 doors around its edges, in addition to an oddly shifting golden statue at the center.
According to his grand teacher, those rooms held his 5 legacies, there being two entrances for each.

At first glance, that didnt seem odd at all, but the more Dyon thought about it, the odder he found it.
And when he thought about how the entity was supposedly his grand teachers second disciple, Dyon only found everything even weirder.

Just as Dyon was about to become lost in his thoughts, two more metallic rhinos showed up, charging toward him ferociously.

Although Dyon knew that these martial beasts could only barely count as Earth beasts, he could tell that not only were there more to deal with, their auras were also slightly stronger.
It seemed this trial would only get harder as time passed.
