Seeing the sea of orange souls surging around her gradually approaching 'Erica', but she still made no movement, like a still statue.
Even Vega on his shoulder couldn't help but show some doubts when looking at the dead souls around him.
It knew that at this moment, the soul of Erica's body had been replaced by Victor.
The goal of this challenge is to persist in front of these undead warriors for one hundred minutes.
For Victor, it is as simple as drinking water and eating.
However, Victor was still at this moment.
This made Vega feel a little confused and curious.
Normally, when Victor encountered so many enemies, he would have blasted them away with a war magic.
What's going on today? The sun rises from the west?
Could it be that because he changed his body, his personality also changed?
It couldn't guess what Victor was thinking.
Only Victor himself knows.
He stood quietly on the spot, actually carefully observing the souls that were about to move and slowly approaching.
Pay close attention to their every movement, even the subtle rhythm of the movement of the invisible body.
Victor stood there and stared for a long time, and then he finally said:
"You know what, Erica."
"Although the goal of this trial is for you to persist for one hundred minutes, you have to know."
"The number of enemies in each stage is fixed."
Although there are a lot of enemies, they don't refresh continuously.
If all these dead souls are dealt with within the prescribed persistence time, then you can pass this trial directly regardless of time.
However, most Trials are not aware of this.
Because the first two trials only required one and ten minutes, they habitually believed that delaying time was the key to passing.
However, it is extremely difficult to persist in the one-hundred-minute challenge in this dense sea of dead souls.
Facing ten enemies, it can be said that it is easy to hold on for one minute.
Facing a hundred enemies, you can barely pass by holding on for ten minutes.
You can face a thousand enemies and persist for a hundred minutes.
This itself is unreasonable.
In fact, this is a fight to the death.
They cannot simply dodge all the time, but must let the tester fight his way out of the desperate situation.
This is the true meaning of this trial.
Finally, 'Erica's' observation ended, and a revenant holding a mace finally walked up to her.
The dead spirit raised the weapon high and slammed it down towards the location of 'Erica' with thunderous force.
Boom——
The blow fell, causing the entire steel field to tremble.
Victor turned into a pure elemental flame and dodged the attack in the direction of the iron rod.
At this moment, the entire ocean of undead transformed instantly, and the dead breath just now was swept away.
A red light suddenly flashed from the depths of the undead's single eyes, locking tightly onto the rising red flames.
Victor's dodge and movements caused all the dead souls to focus on him.
The next second, countless dead souls turned into a rolling orange ocean current, quickly gathering towards the red flame in mid-air.
However, no one noticed that where the iron rod was smashed, a trail of seeds with a faint glow of fire was left behind.
The flames were very tiny, perfectly concealed by the hellfire bursting out from the gears.
The red flame in mid-air fell into a corner of the trial venue and transformed into Erica's body.
But at the end of the orange ocean current, several undead suddenly emerged.
They were waving black mace iron rods in their hands and rushing toward Victor.
This time, she once again turned into an afterimage and disappeared.
Those dead souls instantly lost their red light, and the disappearance of their target made them temporarily confused.
But soon, their heads quickly turned 180 degrees and locked onto Victor again.
But it was too late.
Because Victor had quietly sneaked behind them and hit them with a sudden palm.
This strong impact did not scatter the dead soul. Instead, it was photographed to the center of the trial venue, where Victor's original position was photographed.
The dead soul also left a blazing fire behind.
Correspondingly, because Victor exchanged places with the dead soul, he was surrounded by the ocean current of orange dead souls.
But he didn't panic at all, his face was calm, and he even had time to chat and talk to himself:
"Don't panic even if this happens."
Live towards death.
In an instant, countless dead souls emerged from the ocean currents and rushed toward Erica's body with open palms.
"Remember the abilities you have and how to break through."
The moment these dead souls pounced on her, Victor had already controlled Erica's body to turn into water.
Like a giant-toothed shark, it rose up from the ground and rushed forward.
The huge mouth full of sharp teeth suddenly bit the dead soul at the front, devoured it in one bite, and led it across the trial field.
Immediately afterwards, 'Erica' broke through the encirclement of all monsters like lightning and arrived at the edge of the trial venue.
When it landed, the huge shark form exploded, and the water around it rolled and surged.
'Erica', who turned into transparent water, also returned to her human form, still holding the huge struggling soul in her hand.
She glanced at the dead soul monster in her hand, and then waved her hand, slamming the dead soul back into the ocean of souls.
Incidentally, a red fire was left on his body.
'Erica' clapped her hands gently, raised her head, and looked at the group of monsters gathered together calmly and firmly.
They floated upright again, red light bloomed from the depths of their pupils, and slowly approached 'Erica'.
Facing the crowd of dead souls coming towards him, Victor calmly raised his head and glanced at the red writing suspended in the sky.
98:01
Even under the brief but intense pressure just now, only two minutes had passed.
One can imagine how difficult it would be to face this wave of dead souls and persist in it for a hundred minutes.
but……
Victor whispered:
"Five minutes max."
After speaking, she quickly changed direction and ran to the other side of the field.
At the same time, a sparkling seed was left in place.
Hades on the high platform rested his cheek with one hand and stared boredly at the 'Erica' moving below.
He knew that the little human girl had been possessed by the dog thief.
But until now, he has not seen the other party perform any operation that makes him feel outstanding.
Just the constant dodge.
This made Hades feel a little unhappy.
If it was only to this extent, he felt that he really looked down upon the dog thief.
"but……"
What has this man been talking to himself from the beginning?
What does maximum five minutes mean?
Full of doubts, he turned to look at his wife beside him.
But he found that Persephone was staring down with relish, her eyes shining with anticipation.
What's there to look forward to?
Can this dog thief come up with any new tricks for me?
Hades, who couldn't understand, was a little depressed, and then he set his sights on the trial site again.
But suddenly, his eyes changed.
Hades' body leaned forward slightly, his eyes focused on 'Erica'.
He clearly saw that 'Erica', who was controlled by the dog thief, was inexplicably circling around the trial site, avoiding the attacks of the dead souls.
And every time he could see, the opponent would always be waiting for a dead warrior to get close to him at the edge.
He will deliberately stay for a moment and not dodge at all.
Even when the opponent attacks, he will throw him back into the soul ocean with his backhand.
The strange thing is that he did not kill any dead warriors.
Back and forth, several times.
"No, this kid..."
Suddenly, Hades noticed where Victor stayed every time.
He always leaves a burning red fire at the edge, hidden under the fire of hell.
What's even more striking is that every undead warrior who managed to get close to him was thrown back again.
Each one has a similar kind of fire left in it.
As Victor continues to move around the trial site, these dead souls carrying fire will also move with him.
And gradually penetrate into the center of the soul ocean.
Seeing this, Hades narrowed his eyes.
"What does he want to do?"
At this time, Victor finally stopped escaping in a hurry.
He raised his head and glanced at the remaining time displayed on the sky.
95:25
Twenty-five seconds to go.
about there.
Immediately afterwards, 'Erica' squatted down slightly, her legs suddenly exerted force, and her whole body leaped up like an arrow.
She spun around in the air and instantly jumped into the center of the circle surrounded by dead souls.
95:20
The eyes of the dead souls flashed with red light, and they all locked onto Victor again.
They waved the pitch-black fang weapons in their hands, squeezed each other, and rushed toward him crazily.
95:15
Victor took his time and leaned down as the torrent gradually approached him.
Then he whispered to himself:
"Be good at using your own power."
95:10
"Because you can do it yourself."
Then, 'Erica''s right hand was wrapped in blazing flames, and she quickly slapped it towards the ground.
The first remaining fire was directly photographed.
boom--! ! !
In the center of the trial site, a burning red lotus fire suddenly bloomed, roaring and exploding.
A strong and fierce light exploded from the center, and the scorching heat wave spread across the trial land and spread rapidly to the surroundings.
Powerful high temperatures burst out from the center, and the dazzling red light accompanied the rising smoke and turned into a brilliant red lotus blooming in the air.
As the explosion began, the surrounding undead warriors carrying fire seemed to sense something.
The fire on them was affected by the explosion and began to glow.
Then, gradually expanded——
Boom boom boom boom boom boom——! ! ! !
The roar of the serial explosions echoed throughout the space, and the huge blazing space was so shocked that it couldn't stop trembling.
Explosions spread out in circles, and the fire on the edges exploded at the same time.
Like red lotuses blooming in clusters, pouring out towards the edge of the world.
The aura of terror filled the entire trial site violently, and the steel gears all collided together.
They continuously erupted with long and reverberating tremors, trying to completely destroy the world in that space.
【The Brilliant Sea of Red Lotus】
Finally, when the smoke and dust started to rise, air waves rose into the sky, and everything returned to calm.
Only the red writing floating in the center of the trial venue was left.
【95:00——Passed】
There was also a vague and confident voice surrounding the smoke and dust, which sounded together:
"Now, have you learned it?"
