Chapter 519: Test
Leela didn’t try to hide their appreciation for Himl Soan.
They didn’t waste any ti. Since Himl Soan had made a choice, the test should begin.
“I see you’ve made up your mind. The test will start now.” Leela’s voice resonated in the cave.
The wall at the end of the cave trembled violently. It slowly parted, revealing a path that was wide enough to let one man pass at a ti.
“This cave is only the starting point of the multi-space. This path will take you to your first test location.”
Himl Soan nodded. That was more like it.
The na of the multi-space suggested it should be much more than an underground cave.
“Firey, let’s go!”
“Master, I’m sure we can get through all kinds of tests.” Firey smiled happily, not knowing what the test ant to Himl Soan.
Life and death. The test could give him the greatest power or turn him into a pile of bones.
It all depended on his performance.
They entered the path one after another. Himl Soan felt the world spinning around him, making him retch.
It was unlike what he felt before when traveling through ti and space.
He didn’t know how much ti had passed. It could be an instant or a thousand years. He lost count of ti.
It seed forever before he could see properly again.
He was in front of a fragrant garden. The exuberance washed away the disoriented feeling.
He quickly looked around to find himself in a adow. Countless trees grew so tall that they touched the sky.
There was a river ahead of him, and on it was a bridge.
“Master, it’s so pretty here!” Firey appeared next to Himl Soan and was imdiately attracted by the view.
This place looked surreal.
If Himl Soan hadn’t known this was the first test’s location, he would have wanted to live here permanently.
No!
He soon realized what was wrong with this place.
Yes, the view was stunning, but if one looked closely, one would realize there were no signs of life.
To be more precise, there were no animals. There was grass, trees, and a lot of flowers, but no animals.
It was as if they were all extinct.
There were no butterflies on the flowers and no fish in the river. They couldn’t see any birds or running animals, either.
“Firey, be careful,” Himl Soan said solemnly.
Danger could be hidden in the beautiful scenery.
The place could easily make one lose the motivation to keep fighting. One could get lost here forever.
If they didn’t keep their guard up, they would be killed so soon that they wouldn’t know what hit them.
“Leela, what’s the purpose of this first test?” Himl Soans asked, but there was no reply.
Leela seed to have disappeared. There was only silence.
Boom!
The river seed to have been enraged by his voice.
The current had been quite calm, but angry waves suddenly rose out of the water. They smashed down at Himl Soan, who imdiately jumped away.
Although they were only waves, he could still sense the destructive power.
He was even more certain that great danger was hidden beneath the pretty facade.
The waves smashed onto Himl Soan’s previous spot. If he hadn’t dodged in ti, they would have devoured him.
When the waves receded, the spot where Himl Soan stood was in a ss. The three-ter deep pit was the demonstration of the waves’ power.
“Master!”
Firey only realized what happened afterward. The waves were so fast that even she didn’t react in ti.
Boom!
The waves charged at Himl again in the shape of an arrow.
The wave before was as fast as a race car, but this ti, the wave moved so rapidly that it was almost flying.
Himl Soan dodged again and narrowly escaped.
“Master…”
“Keep your voice down!” Himl Soan reminded Firey in a whisper.
He was sure now that the waves were attracted by sounds.
Firey imdiately stopped talking.
The river cald down only after there were no other sounds.
“This first test seems pretty difficult. The river is dealing a head-on blow at the first encounter.”
Himl Soan chuckled.
His strength hadn’t recovered yet. Handling the river was proving to be strenuous.
It was only a small part of the first test, and this place was vast. One could only imagine what danger was waiting ahead.
Every step could be a trap, which might be an understatent.
“Master, I’m sorry…” Firey said guiltily.
“There’s no need to apologize. I didn’t notice it either. I don’t bla you.” Himl Soan rubbed her head and smiled gently.
“I guess that bridge is our only way to cross the river.”
Himl Soan looked at the river.
The seemingly calm river was full of danger. To cross it, the bridge was the only option. Otherwise, the river could turn into the most lethal killer.
“Yes!” Firey followed Himl Soan, and they stepped onto the bridge.
The waves rolled violently when they were halfway through. The river surged like boiling water.
The bridge shook with it, throwing Firey and Himl Soan from side to side. If they lost their balance, they would be thrown off the bridge and devoured by the water.
“The bridge isn’t as safe as I thought.”
Himl Soan managed to steady himself. With his ability, of course, he wouldn’t be thrown into the river.
He held Firey’s hand and slowly moved forward.
With each step, the bridge shook more violently. By the ti they almost reached the other end, the bridge was spinning like a spindle.
Firey and Himl Soan looked like they were on a roller coaster ride.
