After taking rest for a whole day, both Elena and Leonhart once again started their search for the remaining three items. For the first day they were still unsuccessful but on the second day, Elena managed to find a Trimodevi in a secluded part of the forest.

She cast a magic barrier to surround the area where the Trimodevi lived and trapped it inside. Then she called Leonhart.

They needed the monster core of the Trimodevi so they needed to kill it at any cost. The Trimodevi that Elena managed to find was quite strong at level 348 and there were other Trimodevi who were weaker than it but Elena and Leonhart did not want to waste anymore time so they decided to kill this Trimodevi.

Trimodevi were a bit of a coward among the monsters but that did not mean that they were not strong. A Trimodevi was an expert magic caster who could cast very strong spells with a lower cost of mana, which made them extremely difficult to deal with.

As this monster was also quite sensitive to mana, it noticed Elena's barrier instantly as she did not use any techniques to cover the presence of the barrier. So, when Leonhart reached Elena's location, he came face to face with an enraged Trimodevi who was glaring intensely at Leonhart with its rectangular goat eyes.

This monster was trying for the last half an hour to break the barrier but failed to even scratch it at all. So it was feeling desperate and hopeless. But while it was drowning in the depth of despair, suddenly the seemingly unbreakable barrier disappeared. After the dumb looking lion appeared the barrier also disappeared at the same time.

Even though he did not know why the insanely strong barrier suddenly disappeared, seeing it as a chance the Trimodevi tried to run away instantly. He knew that he was dealing with someone with incredible strength and it could only survive by running away. This behaviour was also in tuned with its known nature so Leonhart was not surprised and instantly attacked it with his summoned turtle.

Just like the previous times Elena did not participate in the battle actively and just played a supporting role. Even though the monster Trimodevi was stronger than Leonhart, Leonhart was also getting stronger in the distinct divine realm after fighting against so many tough opponents.

The last few days were not always a smooth ride as he was discovered by wild beasts and monsters several times and almost died many times too. But those experiences also helped him to grow stronger. So even tho he and his summon was still at a slight disadvantage, they could still fight the Trimodevi on an almost equal ground.

Even though Trimodevi was actually a monster who specialised in magic, as a monster it still had a stronger body if compared to other normal mages. But as a beastkin with a very high level bloodline Leonhart was stronger than it physically. And his divine turtle was doing a good job in countering Trimodevi's spell with its own elemental attacks.

As Leonhart and the Divine Turtle whom Elena had started calling Genbu (as Leonhart never gave the turtle any name) were doing a good job fighting against the monster, she did not do much and only healed Leonhart and Genbu when they got hurt. She left the main fighting completely to them.

Even tho it was a somewhat tough battle, Leonhart and Genbu were able to defeat the Trimodevi without much trouble. So, they were able to collect the fifth item, that was the monster core of this Trimodevi. It was a completely black monster core with red complex patterns on it. This complex pattern was actually the name of the species of the monster written in a divine script.

So after taking the monster core away and taking care of the corpse of the monster, they once again went back to their search for the remaining two ingredients.

...

Once again it was Elena who found their next target. She wasn't really using any of her transcendental abilities or her luck, so it was really a coincidence that she managed to find two of their targets one after another.

This time it was the Heaven Traversing Rat and it was nibbling on some nuts looking very cute.

Last time Leonhart failed to catch the Heaven Traversing Rat even after seeing it was mainly because he did not have any techniques that could trap the rat. And directly attacking it could kill it, as the Heaven Traversing Rat was really a very weak creature. Not only was it at level 80, its stats were also very bad for a beast of that level.

The only reason it could run away from Leonhart and many other predators was because of its unique ability from which it got its name, called "Heaven Traversing".

This ability not only gave the rat a passive buff that made its speed to be equal to an individual at 300 levels higher than its current level but limited to below Demigod rank. That was not all. Other than this passive buff, this ability also gave the rat an active ability to increase that speed even further when it felt like it was in danger. This active buff only cost the rat 30 percent of its total mana. That means a rat could use this skill three times without resting.

...

But as now it was against Elena, this rat was unable to do anything. When she saw this monster she instantly captured it using a skill of hers. Then she called Leonhart to hand it over to him.

In this case, Elena did all the work and Leonhart did not even need to move his fingers. This second to last item was collected completely by Elena. Leonhart used an item with an instant death effect to kill this rat, as that was the best process to collect a perfectly intact body of the Heaven Traversing Rat.

After that they took a little break for 6 to 7 hours and went back to the search. As only one item was remaining in their list, Leonhart was in a high spirit and was very eager to complete the mission to collect all the items as soon as possible.

...

Then after searching for 5 more days, Leonhart finally found the trail of an Azure Thundeflame Eagle. In the rocky mountain area just outside the forest, he found a feather of a Azure Thundeflame Eagle and it was a feather which fell off very recently.

So he called Elena to the mountain area and started to search for the Azure Thundeflame Eagle there together. The first day of their search was unsuccessful and they did not manage to lock on the location of the Azure Thundeflame Eagle. But they found a few more feathers of the Azure Thundeflame Eagle which made them more sure that the Azure Thundeflame Eagle was still in the mountains.

The next day, they finally found a cave on the slopes of the mountain where the Azure Thundeflame Eagle had created a temporary shelter. But at the time when Elena and Leonhart found the nest of the Azure Thundeflame Eagle, it was not inside its nest.

So, both Elena and Leonhart decided to set a trap for the bird inside its own nest to catch it off guard. Then after setting up the trap, both of them waited for the bird to come back.

After two hours they heard the sound of the bird's wings and it's loud noise. Then a huge blue coloured eagle whose body was clad in blue fire and lighting, entered the cave while holding a large boar in its beak. The bird was over eight meter tall and looked very majestic.

It was also quite strong at level 352. It was the first opponent that Leonhart was going to face in the distinct divine realm that was a legendary beast over level 350. To be honest, Leonhart was quite scared.

But now it was not the time to hesitate and he needed to do his best to face off against this mighty legendary beast. So as soon as the fell into the trap and a sticky liquid fell on it, Leonhart attacked. The sticky liquid clang to the body of the bird and made it's wings useless.

As Leonhart and Genbu were not enough to defeat this Azure Thundeflame Eagle alone, Elena participated in this battle very actively and ended up making this fight quite quick. After Elena hit the bird with a few of her spells out quickly lost its life.

The liquid not only made the bird unable to flight but also somewhat protected the wings from getting damaged by the spells, so that they could collect it easily. And just like that, Elena and Leonhart was done with collecting all the items needed to open the tower of trials. Now she and Leonhart needed to head to the center of the distinct divine realm, toward the tower.
