“Are you prepared?” Edvin requested with a relaxed expression, Zayne whereas his aura slowly returned to regular.

Zayne answered with a slight delay, “Yeah, I am positive I can cross the Chaos Trial. You mentioned I’ve a 70% success fee. Superb, that is adequate if it ever makes it to the identical degree you might be at.”

Edvin nodded, “Good angle. Maybe simply now your probabilities have elevated barely, nonetheless, solely barely. In that case, go forward, you don’t have any motive to remain right here any longer.”

Whooooooooooosh.

On the identical second, a petal of the Bellflower flew in entrance of Zayne, as if it was already ready for him. The petal needed to information Zayne to Chaos Trial which was only a brief distance away.

“Positive.” Zayne replied confidently, getting up from the bottom.

“Zayne, I’ve to warn you about one thing else.” Edvin mentioned critically, trying into the void with a deep gaze.

“Agh…?” Zayne gave him a questioning look. It appeared to him that they’d mentioned all the pieces doable already.

“You most likely already know that Chaos’s job is to provide anybody an opportunity, no matter background, particularly those that have wiped their fingers in blood to climb out of the abyss of despair.” Edvin uttered majestically, gazing up on the scarlet moon.

Zayne gulped. He had heard sufficient about Destiny and Chaos in Bellflower to attract his personal conclusions in regards to the two entities.

“So… You should notice that anybody who goes via the Woke up Course of does so via the Chaos Trial. It normally takes years of coaching and expertise to succeed in the precise degree of understanding and break via the barrier. Nonetheless, Chaos can change that, but it surely solely offers that chance to a few of us.” Edvin calmly mentioned.

“He is proper.” Toruf mentioned in a deep voice, “I did not undergo the Chaos Trial, I did not have that chance.”

Zayne shook his head barely, “In that case what about you?” Zayne stared at Edvin.

Edvin was sturdy, and Zayne was curious to see what he went via on his path.

Edvin sighed, “That was a very long time in the past. Nicely, that is sufficient of that. Let’s go.”

Realizing that this was the tip of the dialog, Zayne did not ask something extra. He mentioned his goodbyes to the others and headed for the petal.

It was an uncommon encounter on his path, particularly since two of his companions had been monsters and the third was a member of the Shattered Moon Order.

‘Rattling… First Karin, now Edvin… They’re each frighteningly sturdy and but utterly completely different. Edvin is calm and chilly, and Karin acts loopy, nonetheless… They’re each so serene…’ Zayne internally muttered as a slight disappointment appeared in his eyes.

Zayne realized that folks had completely different causes for following the trail of energy. Some did it for energy, some did it to guard somebody or simply to generate income than was his manner at first.

Nonetheless, now Zayne realized that it was the opposite path that attracted him probably the most. He needed to really feel as serene as Edvin, Karin, or Klaus.

‘Ah… Perhaps that is what freedom appears to be like like… Cash or energy would not all the time imply freedom, however, they… They seem like nothing on this world can maintain them again.’ Zayne sighed whereas shaking his head earlier than persevering with to observe the petal.

He handed via the dry bushes, transferring in the direction of his objective and due to Edvin’s aura, there have been no extra monsters round. Nobody might cease Zayne from reaching the Chaos Trial and he understood that.

…

“Hey… Do you actually suppose he can do it?” Toruf requested Edvin.

“Hmm? What are you speaking about?” Edvin raised an eyebrow in a confusion.

“I am speaking in regards to the Chaos Trial. 70%… That is rather a lot. I have never participated in it myself, however I’ve heard a whole lot of tales and I understand how tough it should be.” Toruf fearful.

Edvin shrugged, “Yeah, you’ve got seen for your self what he is able to. A younger man in Terror Grade might take you to the bottom. If he was slightly stronger, he would have killed you and eaten you want we did that crocodile. Anyway, we’ll see for ourselves quickly.”

Kota, who was already virtually gone, taking a protracted stroll away from the fireplace with gradual steps, all of a sudden circled.

“What…? You imply we will watch him do this?” Kota requested with a curious expression. 

Edvin nodded, “Positive. Did not you understand about that? Observe me in order for you. I believe I can guess the place the petal is main Zayne, so quickly we’ll know the start of the Chaos Trial.”

Toruf and Kota checked out one another. The three of them had simply met for the primary time some time in the past, and in some other state of affairs, they may have been enemies. Nonetheless, there was no motive to combat now, quite the opposite, they could not let a chance like this go to waste.I believe it is best to check out

Edvin headed in the direction of the forest with a relaxed gait, “Actually, we can’t be the one ones. When Zayne reaches the place, then everybody will head in the direction of this forest. It will likely be a momentous event even within the Darkish Lands.”

Toruf’s and Kota’s eyes flashed with curiosity as they instantly adopted Edvin, transferring in the direction of the hill that ignored your entire Darkish Mist Forest.

On the identical time, Marcus, Fosca, and Sara had been steadily approaching Darkish Mist Forest, slowing down barely as Fosca and Sara could not sustain with Marcus’s tempo, however in lower than an hour, they might attain Zayne.

…

Step. Step. Step.

Zayne moved leisurely via petal after petal till he noticed that the countless layer of dry bushes was starting to finish. Then, he sped up and ran outdoors, discovering himself in entrance of one thing huge. 

“Wow… I did not notice there was one thing like this right here…” Zayne muttered in amazement trying on the huge lake, the tip of which he might solely partially see.

The shore of the lake was of white sand, and the water itself was darkish, however not murky, however crystal clear. The floor of the lake mirrored the scarlet moon and tons of of stars within the night time sky.

There was nobody and nothing round, it appeared that it was an impregnable zone and solely somebody distinctive might enter there, though there have been no limitations or passageways.

“How uncommon…” Zayne muttered, his hand trembling barely, as his entire physique was lined in goosebumps as quickly as he noticed this scene.

“It is like my instincts are telling me that this can be a harmful place, and but I really feel so calm…” Zayne whispered, sinking into his ideas, however, a scarlet petal swept earlier than his eyes introduced him to his senses.

‘Proper… Now will not be the time for this, I’ve an opportunity to change into a lot stronger and study my energy, and I have to use it. There is no different manner.’ Zayne internally mentioned, clenched his fingers right into a fist, and stepped ahead.

Zayne adopted the petal, stepping on the white sand and leaving footprints on it. Zayne reached proper as much as the water, however, the petal indicated to maneuver on.

“Hmm? Do I actually must swim?” Zayne gulped. He did not know what was within the lake and wasn’t in any respect ready for it.

Whooooooooooooooooooosh.

On the identical second, the petal plunged into the water, then scarlet power waves traveled via the water, inflicting gentle ripples.

Earlier than Zayne might notice it, a bridge of bones appeared in entrance of him, crimson blood dripping from its edges. The petal was gone, and now that bridge was the one clue for Zayne.

The bridge appeared eerie, because it gave off an aura of dying, however that did not scare Zayne in any respect. Actually, he had anticipated Chaos Trial to be one thing like this. Earlier than this, all the pieces was too innocent and protected.

Zayne took a deep breath and stepped onto the bridge. As quickly as he walked a number of meters, a part of the bridge beneath him collapsed, leaving no manner again for him.

‘Hmm…? Are they transferring? Zayne appeared on the bone fragments that had been slowly transferring throughout the sand. They stopped on the identical distance from one another like outer runes in a magic circle.

The farther Zayne moved ahead, the extra bones remained, which crammed the vacant spots, across the enormous lake.

Zayne did not discover it, however there have been already eyes on him, they usually had been getting greater by the second. Some had been lurking within the forest, some had been within the hills, and a few had been watching Zayne from the highest of the mountains and the perimeters of the cliffs that had been a number of kilometers away from the lake.

“Wow… In order that’s the way it occurs…” Kota muttered with huge eyes, “Now he has to combat somebody?”

“Hey.” Edvin mentioned calmly, then he turned to Kota, and his chilly as historical glacier gaze fell on her, “Shut up. I like everybody right here wish to benefit from the second, and if you happen to destroy it, I’ll silence you by power.”

Kota instantly did as Edvin mentioned, if she might she would have forgotten the right way to speak after such a risk. Toruf grinned however did not say something. He watched fastidiously behind Zayne, who had already reached the final platform of the bridge, positioned within the heart of the lake.

Zayne appeared round, not understanding what he was alleged to do. He was fearful and puzzled.

Whoooooooosh.

Immediately, a robust stream of scarlet flames appeared in entrance of him that he was very aware of. Zayne wasn’t fearful, he knew that Chaos Flame would not damage him, at the least not now.

Then, a tall silhouette emerged from the flames, heading straight for Zayne.
