A distance away from the Fifth Trial. Before the River of Tears, the Gigantic Ether Forest and the Labyrinth of Mirrors, a Corridor that held a Second Trial buzzed with energy in the air as a portal appeared.
Out of the portal, three more participants stepped into the Corridor. They were not particularly powerful looking ones. Not at all.
They appeared scrappy, shaken and wide-eyed. Their limbs were quivering as their eyes darted around the place they had just entered.
These were a few of the last participants to advance from the First Trial, using all their courage to defeat what had been handed to them.
Finally, they had made it here.
But seeing this place — the red sky, the withered leaves, the black earth and chasm not too far in the distance, their fear increased.
One of them narrowed their eyes at a movement close to the chasm where steam was rising up.
His eyes dilated. "It's a monster!" he mumble-cried, stepping backwards.
