Zayne had by no means fought towards water opponents earlier than. Nonetheless, everybody knew that water was superb towards hearth, in addition to extraordinarily weak to a different component reverse to fireplace.

Whoooooosh.

Zayne’s sword flashed with blue flames as he jumped excessive up.

On the similar second, dozens of piranhas jumped out of the lake, every with a large open jaw and sharp tooth aimed straight at Zayne.

“Freeze.” Zayne whispered earlier than swinging his sword, raining down on the lake, an X-shape flaming cross, blue and chilly.

Because it approached the fireplace, the small-sized piranha instantly froze, turning into an ice statues. They fell onto the stone platform, shattering into small shards and never even forsaking a drop of blood as they froze by way of. 

Then, the flaming cross reached the water, shortly turning the floor of the lake right into a thick layer of ice, calming the sunshine waves and energetic ripples.

Faucet.

Zayne with a relaxed expression landed on the stone platform on which the ice was slowly spreading in an online sample.

“Rattling, he used that ability towards me. I have to say its energy is spectacular.” Toruf muttered with a critical look.

“Yeah…” Edvin nodded barely, “If it have been somebody weaker or not with such a troublesome cover and highly effective muscle tissue, this one would have turned to ice, similar to these piranhas.”

“And…? He is already handed the primary stage?” Kota requested with a confused face, turning her head.

“Are you silly?” Edvin threw an aggravated take a look at her, inflicting Kota to flinch, “Clearly that is just the start. Do you suppose Chaos Trial might be that simple? This can be a actual trial!”

Kota silently lowered her head, not daring to ask something extra. The very last thing she needed was to anger Edvin, who was all for watching Chaos Trial in its entirety.

Zayne appeared round. The pillar of black stone was nonetheless hovering over the lake, which meant the primary stage was not but over, although the piranhas have been clearly completed.

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

A muffled thud started to return from the depths of the lake, then cracks appeared within the thick layer of ice, step by step spreading throughout the floor.

Zayne took a step again, gripping the hilt of his sword tightly.

Whooooooooooosh.

Breaking the ice barrier, a large creature with a protracted physique and no arms or legs emerged from the water. It was a large serpent, with sharp blue scales, broad fins at its sharp elongated head, and two amber eyes with horizontal pupils.

“Rooooaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!” Serpent roared, echoing all through Darkish Mist Forest.

Marcus, Fosca, and Sara heard it.

‘Rattling… Appears to be like like issues are unhealthy. If Zayne Fellen ended up close to that monster, we’d not make it in time… We have now to hurry up!” Marcus frowned earlier than dashing ahead with extra pressure.

Fosca and Sara exchanged glances, barely stunned, and tried their greatest to maintain up with their commander. 

“Hmm… If I have been an Woke up One like Toruf or Edvin, I’d be capable to decide the energy of this serpent…” Zayne stared intently on the wriggling monster who was shattering the strong layer of ice with its large physique. 

“Nonetheless… Contemplating the circumstances and the truth that that is just the start of the Trial, you’ll be able to’t be stronger than Terror Grade, proper?” Zayne glanced at Serpent, “However, you are positively extra harmful than Champion Grade Ones.”

Step by step, Serpent stopped as all the floor of the lake was now freed from ice. Ice particles continued to drift on the water, however they might not hinder the motion of somebody as giant as Serpent.

Then, the Serpent’s gaze fell on Zayne. It continued for some time as if Serpent was sizing up his opponent.

Zayne ready to assault. and when his opponent lastly determined to behave, Zayne instantly retaliated as two scarlet wings unfolded behind him.

The Serpent opened its jaw broad, with lengthy sharp fangs, demolishing all the things in its path. Not even the stone platform Zayne was standing on might cease the monster. The Serpent simply destroyed all the things in its path, going straight for Zayne.

Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooosh.

Zayne’s wings got here into movement as he was a pink flash, heading for Serpent. His trajectory was straight for the monster’s jaw, however, on the final second, Zayne took a step to the facet.I believe you need to check out

Crackle.

One of many Serpent’s fangs grazed Zayne’s shoulder, leaving a protracted however shallow minimize from which blood gushed.

Zayne did not even take note of it, he was prepared to get that wound to remain as near the Serpent as potential. Typically, you needed to let an enemy wound you to have the ability to do vital injury straight away.

The darkish sword flashed with a blue gentle that was particularly vivid as a result of moon illuminating the battlefield from excessive within the night time sky. Then, the sharp blade plunged into the Serpent’s flesh by way of its dense scales.

Zayne stored advancing, in addition to the monster who might not cease due to the highly effective momentum of his thrust, so the sword effortlessly minimize by way of the monster’s dense flesh.

Streams of darkish blood got here out, partially masking Zayne’s chilly face.

“Roooaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrr!!!” Serpent roared in ache, shortly disappearing beneath the lake.

Issues calmed down for some time, however, quickly Zayne noticed splashes within the water once more in addition to gentle ripples. Then, the Serpent reappeared, half of its physique coated in blood attributable to a protracted wound that began from its head and continued all the way in which to its tail.

It appeared that the monster might assault Zayne at any second, however the Serpent didn’t. The monster stared at Zayne, dealing with his calm gaze, after which Serpent raised his head excessive up and disappeared into the lake.

Whooooooooooooosh.

Scarlet flames erupted above the place Serpent had simply been, and the ripples within the water shortly stopped.

“Hmm? He determined to go away the battlefield?” Zayne was puzzled, then a bitter smile appeared on his face, “Advantageous. It seems monsters might be extra clever than people. It appears to be like like there’s one thing a lot larger than this forward of me.”

Zayne raised his head. wanting on the stone pillar hovering over the lake, anticipating one thing to occur now. He was totally assured that the primary stage had been handed, however, that wasn’t fairly the case.

In actual fact, Zayne wasn’t the one one who thought that he had already handed the primary stage.

Some monsters have been puzzled, glancing at one another. Maybe in one other scenario, they might have fought, however proper now they have been all on the identical facet, the facet of the spectators. All of their consideration was directed solely in direction of Zayne.

Step. Step. Step.

On the similar second, three shadows appeared from the forest, they have been Marcus, Sara, and Fosca. In a number of jumps, they have been on one of many hills that have been freed from monsters.

Some monsters paid consideration to the Destiny Knights who had come, however nobody moved. The foundations have been easy, so long as Marcus, Sara, and Fosca have been mere spectators like them, there was no purpose to combat.

They’d and would have tons of of hours and days for mortal fight, for standing their floor and serving to Chaos or Destiny. However, solely now did they’ve the possibility to look at Chaos Trial, from one of the best of locations!

“Wait… One thing’s incorrect…” Sara muttered, wanting on the crystal on her belt, “If I am not mistaken Zayne Fellen needs to be proper there… within the heart of the lake… however, that may’t be, proper?”

Marcus sighed, “Effectively, I might prefer to agree with you, however not this time… It is so much worse than I believed. Zayne Fellen was kidnapped by Chaos so as to take part within the Chaos Trial. A minimum of that is the one principle I’ve.”

Fosca checked out Zayne with a trembling gaze, “Wait… Is that this the one we have been presupposed to rescue…? I could possibly be incorrect, however he does not seem like he wants assist, I would not name him robust although.”

Sara turned to Marcus and requested, “Commander, what will we do?”

Marcus grabbed his chin, saying thoughtfully, “Attempt to accomplish our mission. Perhaps when Chaos Trial is over we’ll have an opportunity to do it. If not, we’ll simply return to Falrin and report all the things to Order. There’s nothing we will do to assist Zayne Fellen on this scenario, he has to get out of Chaos Trial on his personal.”

“Wait… Is it potential for an bizarre individual to take part within the Chaos Trial?” Sara requested.

“Anybody can, however, it is an actual rarity that Chaos kidnapped him only for the sake of it… Actually, it is all reasonably unusual, however now we have no selection however to remain right here and watch.” Marcus mentioned severely, along with his arms crossed on his chest.

Fosca appeared round with a curious expression. She needed to grow to be stronger, and now she noticed tons of of monsters every of them many occasions her energy.

‘Unbelievable…’ Fosca gulped, ‘They’ve such scary auras coming from them, however they do not appear to have any intention of attacking us… Are they actually that all for Chaos Trial…?’

Fosca turned her head, directing her gaze in direction of Zayne.

He was standing in the course of the stone platform, ready for the subsequent stage, however as an alternative, the water started to shake violently.

Then, highly effective surges was waves behind which a tall silhouette with a protracted trident-like weapon appeared.
