Huuhaa! Huuhaa!
The trial-goer stared at Kieran with a twisted face, panting heavily through his nose and mouth.
Under the influence of Final Island, they had forgotten the fear in their hearts.
All that was left was greed and jealousy.
It was like a poisonous vine that grew in their hearts, not only spreading, but also sprouting.
It was a kind of forgetfulness.
It was the complete domination of their desires.
Roar!
It didn't sound like a human but more like a beast's roar. There were around 30 trial-goers who were in a formation but they were completely forgotten.
They dashed towards Kieran in a frenzy.
Wung!
The dark red greatsword was glimmering brightly and as Kieran dashed forward and swung the greatsword, it bloomed all of a sudden.
Wild!
Untamed!
With a joyful chirp, [Arrogant Word] once again showed its extreme resonance with Kieran.
A horizontal slash was unleashed.
The bewitching red seemed to have become the main character between heaven and earth.
It covered the red of the setting sun.
It covered the red of the blood.
The trial-goer before Kieran couldn't even react and was slashed in half.
As death approached, the trial-goer's body was still pouncing forward, brushing past Kieran and falling further away.
It was the first one.
It was also the beginning.
With a quick step, Kieran dodged the long spear that was aimed at his chest and thrust [Arrogant Word] forward like a mountain cutting through the clouds.
The long spear was broken.
The spear-wielder's chest was pierced by the dark red greatsword but more weapons came from Kieran's left, right, and back, slashing and stabbing.
Kieran didn't even have the intention to dodge the attacks. With [Arrogant Word] in his hand, he dashed forward three steps with the body in front of him.
Putsch, Putsch!
Amidst a series of stabbing noises, the bodies of the trial-goers behind the spear-wielder were pierced one after another and the weapons that were aimed at Kieran missed their target.
Wung!
With a flick of his wrist, [Arrogant Word] burst out from the spear-wielder's body and executed a circular slash from left to right with Kieran as the center.
There was another sound of flesh being cut.
Blood splattered everywhere.
Several heads and upper body parts flew into the sky just like that.
Kieran's body was like that of a tiger or an ape, agile and ferocious.
He rampaged through the group of challengers with an unstoppable force.
Many of the trial-takers were cut down like weeds under [Arrogant Word]'s blade.
Severed limbs and internal organs spilled everywhere.
However, the remaining challengers had no intention of backing down.
Their twisted hearts made them even crazier in the face of death.
Under the control of their desires, they were even willing to die with Kieran.
These trial-takers, who had explosives and grenades strapped to their bodies, roared as they charged at Kieran.
His aura was terrifying.
Everyone's expression changed.
Ogden and Fitz who had been waiting for a long time finally made their move.
However, their target was not Kieran.
It was a wooden hut!
Or more precisely, the scroll in the wooden hut.
Their eyes were burning with passion when they looked at the wooden hut.
They didn't even notice the unusual behavior of the few remaining trial-takers behind them. They also didn't notice the unusual situation around the wooden hut.
When the explosion went off and the twin-headed snake sprung out from the ground, only then did both of them realize something was wrong.
However, it was a little too late.
Ogden was swallowed by the snake.
Fitz relied on the sword aura from the sword in his hand to temporarily escape death.
However, he was quickly suppressed by the twin-headed snake that was chasing after him.
The snake swung its tail and Fitz was like a baseball that was hit, landing in front of Kieran, welcoming the slash of [Arrogant Word].
Out of instinct, Fitz raised the sword in his hand.
Chang!
Amid the clashing sound of metal.
The longsword that Fitz relied on the most was chipped by [Arrogant Word]'s slash.
The chipped sword was getting bigger and bigger.
"No!"
Fitz cried out in shock.
However, his cry couldn't change the fate of his sword being crushed and his death.
Puk!
A bloody line appeared in between Fitz's brows and rapidly spread downwards. When the blood gushed out, Fitz's body was sliced in half.
A ball of orange light appeared on Fitz's body.
Kieran could clearly see the broken pieces of the sword inside.

[Sword Aura Type II: After charging for 5 seconds, able to fire a Powerful attack with a range of 30 meters, 1 time per day]
...
It was a decent Rare rank item.
If it wasn't damaged.
"Because it was broken before, when it appeared in the form of equipment, it would be considered damaged?"
Kieran was guessing the rules of equipment and items dropping. He then raised his hand and one of the snake heads opened its mouth.
A tube of potion appeared in Kieran's hand.
[Name: Perfected Raging Blood IV]
[Type: Blood]
[Rarity: Great]
[Attribute: Strength Raging]
[Prerequisite: Constitution D]

[Note: When Constitution is higher than C, immune to all debuffs]
...
"A descendant of an alchemist?"
Kieran was astonished when he saw the [Perfected Raging Blood IV] tag.
All of a sudden, he thought of the government in this dungeon world.
The government that went through the Blood Moon War and built itself on the ruins of a kingdom didn't seem to have given up on the idea of modifying humans with alchemy.
Marco from before and this unknown trial-taker.
The former's [Mutated Raging Blood III].
The latter's [Perfected Raging Blood IV].
It was enough for Kieran to make some guesses.
Kieran didn't believe that the trial-taker before his eyes was a descendant of an alchemist who had wandered outside and was coincidentally discovered by the Sanctuary and invited to participate in this trial.
It was too much of a coincidence.
Kieran never believed in coincidences. He believed that any kind of coincidence was a clever arrangement.
Based on his speculations, the identity of the other trial-takers became interesting.
"Is the Sanctuary holding a trial?
Or …? "
All of a sudden, Kieran started to doubt the Sanctuary's intention in organizing this trial.
However, it did not stop him from quickly picking up the remaining six low-grade Magic items and gesturing to Schmidt.
What was the Sanctuary trying to do?
Kieran had a guess.
But what did it have to do with him?
He was here to complete the trial.
As for the others?
Kieran didn't want to be a part of it.
But …
