Digitize: Rebirth of the Silver Death God

Chapter 168: Receiving the Rewards

With Village Chief Pan's words, a series of bright lights shone as everyone had begun to receive notifications, many of them leveled up as those who had yet to reach the requirements were only a few steps behind.

Items had similarly appeared before them, hovering a bit before their torsos; once they inspected their effects, it filled their faces with even more excitement as the joyful cheers of the surviving digitizers resounded as they felt that the dungeon wasn't so bad in the end.

Elly had a bright smile on her face as she held a small shiny bracelet in her hand; Raynas gave it a peak as he spoke, "That's a good item, my sister, but I'll be confiscating it until I feel you're worthy of it."

Without even waiting for her to reply, he waved his hand, pocketing it before she could do anything.

"Hey, give it back!" Elly yelled as she glared at Raynas.

Raynas, who usually took on a gentle manner, gave her a stern look as he spoke, "Hmph! Elly... do you dare to say that again?"

Elly seeing his shrank back a bit, but as if she really liked the treasure, she bit her lips and cursed, "Brother, you're so mean, why don't you go steal from everyone else?"

Raynas sighed at this as he spoke, "Elly, you should know that it's for your own good, come now, let's get to training, only after you've reached level 10 and have succeeded those skill masteries will I give it back."

After saying such words, Raynas turned around left, walking at a brisk pace.

Elly bit her lips at this; she glanced at the side, noticing that Nero didn't have anything as he remained silent, staring at Village Chief Pan.

'Huh? What's he doing?'

Elly thought to herself, she wanted to ask, but as she saw that Raynas was getting farther away; she gritted her teeth in anger.

'This darn big brother of mine, humph! Just you wait, I'm going to tell father.'

With her mind made up, she no longer dallied, rushing towards the direction he went as she prepared to experience another ruthless round of daily training.

Much like Elly and Raynas, the other Novice Digitizers, along with their guides, and associates from the Upper Layers, soon left the area. They all seemed a bit in a hurry, as if their eyes were anticipating something.

Delkan, while leaving, glared at Nero from a distance, but as he saw Nero treating him as if he didn't exist, he clenched his fists tightly as if he couldn't wait to break his bones and chew his flesh.

"Delkan, why are you lagging? The Gate of Legends isn't waiting around! Hurry along to finish your training!" Paul's annoying voice sounded ahead of him.

"I-I'm coming, uncle!" Delkan, no longer bothered with Nero as he hurried behind Paul, his remaining lackeys similarly behind him like a tail.

Thunder's Daughter and Crazy Blade were also about to leave with their clansmen. Thunder's Daughter glanced at Nero, who seemed to have noticed her look; she nodded before holding onto the thunder spark woman's hand before they vanished like a streak of the lightning bolt into the sky.

On the other hand, Crazy Blade had a competitive expression as he spoke, "Wild Silver, I hope to see you again during the Gate of Legends. Do your best to prepare now?"

Nero smiled at this as he replied, "I hope you do the same."

Crazy Blade's eyes flashed with a sharp ray as he laughed before looking at the shark teeth clansman; the man then grabbed him before they flickered and beamed across the horizon like a deadly ray of blade light.

Only Nero, Red Rain, and Mia had remained with the others now gone; they glanced at each other before they walked over to Village Chief Pan, who smiled as if she was waiting for them.

"Good, you children have done well. I didn't think that such a change would occur, but you still managed to bring back that old thing from such a dangerous situation. Come, sent it here, then accept your rewards for that dungeon."

Village Chief Pan said with a smile as she gestured with her hand.

Nero gave the girls a look before he waved his hand, taking out the unusual sphere with a mysterious marking engraved on its surface. Looking at it now, one would notice that it was in the shape of a Digitized Bit, but somewhat different.

Nero, Mia, and Red Rain each had eyes of fascination now that they had the time to observe it more closely. Suddenly, a sound akin to that of a beating heart was heard, the looked on their faces changed to one of a daze.

As if it wanted to prove that it was the cause of their change, the marking on the sphere glowed in a bright ray of light.

'This... what's happening to my sister?'

The Blissful Flame Fox thought with a shocked expression.

Village Chief Pan showed a similar look of surprise. She thought to herself, 'Well now, what's going on here? Though comparable to an ancient artifact, this should be just a replica of the Ancient Digitize Pearl belonging to that palace; how can novices inspire such a thing?'

Village Chief Pan had a deep look in her eyes, trying to understand the current situation, but as if something changed, the Perl grew dim as it floated towards her.

'Hmm, it stopped, could it have been a malfunction?'

She pondered with a set of intrigued eyes; she pointed it towards them again but soon noticed that there were no longer any changes.

'It looks like it might have been an error, or maybe... it might have sensed something different about their Digitize Bits. Huhu... such wonderful children, it really makes me wonder just what they'll show during that event.'

Wrapping up her thoughts, Village Chief Pan snapped her fingers, bringing Nero and the others back to their senses.

'Huh? What just happened?' Nero thought with a confused look on his face; he waited for Adult Nero to explain, but right at this time, the notification both he and the girls were waiting for had finally arrived.

Nero felt a bit unsatisfied after seeing that he didn't get enough EXP to level up, but as he saw the rewards he got, his eyes lit up as he stared at the glowing sources of light that appeared before him, shining so brightly that they enveloped his view of the scene.
