Villain Ch 1494. Last Trial
Allen leapt into the air above the circle, sword raised and came down hard, driving the blade through the Warden's chest in a final, brutal, two-handed plunge.
A pulse of dark energy surged out like a heartbeat.
Silence followed.
[Boss Defeated: Warden of Chains]
[Trial of Will – Completed]
[Bonus Objective: 5/5 Totems – Reward Multiplier Applied x1.5]
Allen slumped to one knee.
The blade stuck in the cracked stone. His chest heaved with every breath, armor scorched, his cape torn and reeking of brimstone. The fog peeled away—evaporated like steam.
And there, standing in the distance, was the hooded figure again. Silent.
Allen glanced at it, wiped sweat and ash from his jaw, and said, "You know what? You owe me a damn health bar."
The figure didn't move.
Allen's sword disappeared into a dark aura. Then, he limped but grinning like the stubborn bastard he was, he stepped through the trial gate.
Two down. One more trial before Tier 4 ascension.
