As soon as the Wolf King finished speaking, Artoris discovered that a transparent barrier wall had unknowingly appeared under her feet. Stepping on the barrier wall, Artolis watched in amazement as the ground beneath her feet glowed with light blue, and then strips of light scattered rapidly.
Thousands of rays of light divided the entire starry sky into a checkerboard shape, and then turned around and climbed upward at the limit of Artolis' field of vision. In just a few breathers, a cubic barrier was formed that was huge enough to cover half of the starry sky!
"Is this!?" Looking up at such a shocking sight, Artolis opened her mouth in surprise.
Located in the center of the barrier is a water-blue planet that is large enough to cover half of the sky. The stars contained in the barrier seem to be attracted by the huge planet and converge here, layer after layer. The layers move around the planet to form an airtight defense line, firmly guarding the planet behind.
"Artolis!" Her attention was focused on the top of her head, so much so that Artolis didn't even notice the changes happening around her. The Wolf King, who was the first to notice the abnormality, shrank his pupils, but even if he tried to alert Artolis immediately, it was too late!
Hearing the call of the Wolf King, Artoris came back to her senses and realized it later. However, when she turned around, she was caught by the door that was moving at high speed behind her, glowing with white light, under her astonished gaze.
The inside of the door was a world of nothingness and chaos. Artolis didn't know where she was being taken at this moment. The wolf king who had been separated from her was nowhere to be seen and had not landed. The sensations in her body were telling her that she was... Falling, endless falling! And that's not all, Artoris could feel strange changes in her senses. Moreover, this change seems to be subtly tampering with her cognition!
I don’t know how long she had been falling, but she seemed to have touched the water. “Bang~” I felt something abnormal coming from underneath me, and Artolis fell into it. Chaos like water rippled in the void, but before Atoris could react, she fell out of the void in the next second.
Her field of vision gradually brightened, and she still saw the sea of stars in front of her. The only difference from before was that this time her feet did not step on the supports, and her body was still falling at a high speed, and she was about to hit the barrier. on the ground.
Soon, Artoris reacted and touched the void with her foot. She stepped on the moon step and quickly changed direction while thinking, and she hovered in the air.
Looking at the bright ground below that spread out like a chessboard, Artolis couldn't help but wipe her sweat. Fortunately, I relied on my ability to cross steps to practice the "Dance in the Sky" technique in advance. Otherwise, with such a falling speed, I might have been smashed to pieces by now.
Artoris understood that it would be too sad to rely solely on the Moon Steps to take action when the Golden Crow Wings could not be deployed in the conscious space.
Her own condition was not greatly affected, and her spiritual power was at its fullest, but there was just one thing that felt a little inconsistent with Artoris.
Why do my hands that I just wiped sweat feel so hairy? With doubts, Artolis lowered her head and looked at her palm, where five pale pink flesh balls protruded, and the palm was densely covered with brown fluff, and the conspicuous sharp claws seemed to be on it. Tell her that her hands are no longer human-like!
"This... this... eh eh eh eh eh~" Weird limbs and ears, and even a slender tail growing out of his back! A strong sense of disobedience hit Artolis's heart, causing her to almost faint.
“…..”
After waiting for a while, Artoris's mood gradually relaxed, and she also planned to accept the fact that she had become a beast-eared girl at this moment. Taking a deep breath, Artolis wanted to roar out her dissatisfaction:
"Meow~"
"!!!" Artolis quickly covered her mouth, this is a lie! Why is it meowing? With these paws and this tail, it should be a lion, right?
"Emm... the cry is a bit cute, but I don't think your focus should be here." The Wolf King's complaints did not come from his mind. Artoris looked straight ahead and followed the sound. His sight passed through the dense torrent of stars and fell on a snow-white light spot in the extreme distance.
She and the Wolf King were blocked by the torrent of stars headed by the aqua planet, and they were far apart, but here Artoris could easily hear the words coming from the other party.
"When your body changed, I also received the trial rule information." Walking in the starry sky, the Wolf King's actions did not seem to be hindered in any way. Even Artolis was surprised by her ease of walking on flat ground.
"Meow meow meow?" Artolis wanted to say. She did not receive any information about the trial, but the sound that came out was still a cat's meow.
"I see, then let me explain the rules to you." As if he understood Artoris's words, the Wolf King nodded thoughtfully, and then revealed the detailed rule information of this trial to Artoris.
Artoris was surprised that the rules of the fourth-turn trial were not as obscure as the second-turn trial, but the content was conveyed to them very straightforwardly.
"Meteor Destroyer" is the name of the trial. The rule is that Artoris and her contracted beast stand on opposite sides of the barrier, and they must work together to destroy all the meteors surrounding the barrier to complete the trial. However, the so-called destruction of meteorites is not as simple as it sounds. The two participating in the trial cannot actively destroy meteorites by their own strength. Instead, they need to hit the special meteorites given in the trial to make them collide with those meteorites. Crush them one by one.
Of course, the trial cannot allow Atoris and the others to defeat thousands of meteorites with just one meteorite. When ordinary meteorites are defeated, there is a certain probability of scattering amplifying star stones with random effects. After collecting them, they can be used within a certain period of time. Strengthen their combat power and destroy other meteorites more efficiently. If you defeat a special meteorite, you will definitely drop an amplifying star stone.
It is worth mentioning that the special meteorite used for collision loses its effect after flying out of the boundary range and cannot be used again. The trial will give Artolis twenty special meteorites for use, and this is the error-tolerant point of this trial.
"Meow?" Is it enough to just hit the special meteorite? Thinking of this, Artoris soon saw a silver-white sphere floating next to her that was estimated to be two meters in diameter.
Looking at the sea of stars in the distance, those meteorites are so huge. Can they be destroyed by just this small ball? To be honest, Artolis didn't believe it, but since the rules are like this, let's give it a try!
Manipulating Aoki Tatsufeng, following Atoris's will, he transformed into a club-like shape, and grasped it with his outstretched claws without hesitation.
"Meow!!!" However, what Artolis didn't expect was that just when her hand touched the hammer handle, she received an extremely strong electric shock, forcing her to let go of her claws.
"Oh, I forgot to mention the last thing. The rules state that you are not allowed to use tools with other parts of the body, you can only use the tail." Looking at Artoris who was shocked by the electric shock, the Wolf King felt extremely guilty. laughed out loud.
"Meow meow meow?"
"ha?"
