Confess System: Picking Up Girls After Girls, Try Not to Get Killed!
Chapter 174 Narrow Escape From Death
The consciousness of the Crimson Flame Dragon was rapidly dissipating as its life energy dwindled.
Its colossal body lost control, and it plummeted heavily to the ground.
The last sight of the Crimson Flame Dragon was a human engulfed in blue flames, leaping from above its head to the ground.
Perhaps, its adversary was never human to begin with.
The creature was more akin to a blue flame demon in human form.
With a deep sense of reluctance, the Crimson Flame Dragon's vision turned black, and it departed from this world.

Rewind three seconds prior.
As soon as Tyler released the "Blue Blaze Steed", he let go of the hilt of the Shadow Sword Blaze Steed.
However, this could not save him from the punishment of the "Flame of Retribution".
The moment his magic energy fell below 444 points, even though Tyler was far from the Shadow Sword Blaze Steed, the blue flames dutifully leapt onto him, showing no signs of extinguishing.
Interestingly, the azure flames didn't cause Tyler any pain, but they ruthlessly drained his life energy at a rate of 10 points per second.
At this moment, Tyler only had 50 points of life energy remaining.
In five seconds, his life energy would be depleted.
Could a miracle occur before then?
—— Only four seconds remained.
Reflecting on the battle, Tyler didn't execute his plan, which was the root cause of the backlash from the Shadow Sword Blaze Steed.
However, Tyler believed that testing the waters was necessary. Without first releasing the "Blue Blaze Steed", he wouldn't know the extent of the damage it could cause.
Additionally, the use of "Shadow Step" was essential. Without it, he would have been killed by the " Roaring Cryr" long ago. Therefore, Tyler had no regrets; he had done his best.
—— Three seconds remained.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIf a miracle didn't occur, Tyler would face mutual destruction.
Despite this, he had no regrets. Dying this way was far better than being killed by the Crimson Flame Dragon.
Whether to fight or not, death was inevitable.
Tyler, a man who dared to gamble in critical moments, chose to fight.
—— Two seconds remained.
As he watched his life energy nearing zero, Tyler looked at the character "T" in his palm and silently apologized to his parents.
At that moment, the giant ebony magic circle appeared again in the sky.
Tyler chuckled bitterly. Surely not? Was there a third enemy?
If so, they better hurry; otherwise, he wouldn't have a chance to see what the third enemy looked like before his death.
—— One second remained.
Tyler was prepared to embrace death. His mind was calm, but his heart was racing uncontrollably.
At this moment of life and death, a white light suddenly shot out from the magic circle and accurately shone on Tyler!
At the same time, a text prompt appeared in Tyler's vision.
—— "Successfully passed the 'Level 5 Difficulty · Purple Trials'; 'Tier 1 Profession · Junior Assassin' automatically upgraded to 'Tier 2 Profession · Shadow Assassin'"
—— "Automatically acquired Tier 2 skill, 'Shadow Behind'"
—— "Skill slot number has increased to 2"
—— "Upgrade conditions satisfied, 'Shadow Assassin - Lv20' automatically upgraded to 'Shadow Assassin - Lv21'"
With the successful advancement, Tyler, who was already full of experience, automatically leveled up, and his stats correspondingly improved.
━━━━━━━━━
Endurance: 280+2↑+20↑
Dexterity: 130+2↑+20↑
━━━━━━━━━
However, in this life or death situation, these things were unimportant to Tyler.
The truly crucial point was that the blue flames on his body had miraculously extinguished!!
His heart had been hammering so hard that it nearly stopped just a moment ago!!
The white light from the ebony magic circle not only advanced Tyler but also restored him to his peak condition, purifying the "Flame of Retribution" as well!!
.
"Heavens... I thought I was a goner..."
After a narrow escape from death, Tyler drew a long breath.
"Such an... extreme... encounter."
Recalling the death countdown, Tyler was still experiencing a lingering fear.
His previous experience was akin to calculating the answer to the last major question during a mathematics final exam, with the bell already ringing to signal the end. The invigilator was loudly demanding, "Stop writing! Everyone, stand up and place your answer sheets upside down on the desks!", yet Tyler was still frantically calculating. As the invigilator approached, Tyler's heart beat faster, and his hands started to tremble uncontrollably...
It was exactly that kind of feeling.
·
Having survived by a hair's breadth, Tyler felt an overwhelming sense of relief.
He sat heavily on the ground, hearing his heart pounding in his ears.
ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm Only then did he notice that the stupid loli had been crying loudly in his mind for a long time.
Tyler usually subconsciously blocked out her screams and shouts during the battle to avoid distraction.
She had watched the entire process from the VIP seats, so the fear, tension, despair, and joy she felt were likely no less intense than Tyler's.
(Tyler: Alright, Silly Nissen, stop crying. It's too noisy.)
(Silly Nissen: Waaaah...!(☍﹏⁰.))
·
After resting for a while, Tyler noticed that not only a white light had been emitted from the ebony magic circle, but also a purple light had been projected onto the ground.
Where the purple light fell, a purple glowing cube was formed, identical to the "Gateway of Trials" Tyler had seen when he entered the trial.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe only difference was that a countdown was ticking on the glowing cube, with about three hours remaining.
(It seems that is the teleportation gate to leave.)
Right after Tyler noticed the existence of the glowing cube, three white light orbs flew out from the cube and slowly floated in front of Tyler, as if waiting for him to receive them.
For safety, Tyler first identified them and found out that they were: "Rewards for passing the 'Tier 5 Difficulty - Purple Trial'".
Since that was the case, Tyler would certainly want to receive them and see what rewards they were.
·
Tyler reached out and grabbed the first light orb, which immediately solidified into a cherry-sized glass bead in his hand. The words "Universal Stone" were engraved on it.
Tyler was shocked! The "Universal Stone" was a treasure that could be used to replenish the energy points of the Divine Eye. He had thought that he would never get such a valuable item again!
Overjoyed, Tyler carefully stored the "Universal Stone" without using it, and then grabbed the second light orb.
This time, the moment he grabbed the light orb, he felt a powerful force flowing into his body along with the orb, as if his entire body was burning with an unending heat.
At the same time, a text prompt appeared in Tyler's vision.
—— "Received attribute point rewards from the 'Tier 5 Difficulty - Purple Trial'"
Tyler immediately checked the changes in his stats and was astounded.
━━━━━━━━━
Life Energy: 300+2000↑
Endurance: 302+1200↑
Magic Energy: 2530+2000↑
Strength: 30+200↑
Dexterity: 152+200↑
Intelligence: 253+200↑
━━━━━━━━━
Tyler looked over the numbers repeatedly, thinking his fatigue led him to see an extra zero.
But no matter how he looked, the numbers were the same, the reward had actually increased all attributes by 200! This was truly a rocketing leap of progression!
Damn…!
