Where am I?
Lena slowly opened her eyes. She discovered that she was lying on top of a calm lake. The sky was very strange. It was very empty, and there was only a terrifying moon. It looked very dirty, and Lena could clearly see the potholes on its surface.
Reina struggled in fear. She did not know why, but her limbs were too weak to move. She could not even open her eyes.
At that moment, she saw the face of a monster slowly emerge from behind the moon. It looked like a human, but its skin was ink-black. Under its scarlet eyes was a ferocious face, and it had pointy ears.
"Ah!"
Lena suddenly woke up. Covered in sweat, she found herself sitting on a bed. The silent Mr. Ball was sitting beside her like an alarm clock, looking at her with a worried expression. At this time, she smelled the aroma of barbecued meat.
"How do you feel? Do you feel any pain? "
At this moment, Uncle Greer walked over and handed Reina a brand new wooden bowl filled with water.
Reina took the bowl and gulped it down.
"What happened?"
She wiped her mouth and looked around. She couldn't remember what had happened last night. She only knew that the surroundings seemed to have been flooded. The weeds were bent, and a large amount of soil was washed away. The roots of the plants were exposed, and there was a lot of silt left on the trunks and leaves.
"You don't remember what happened last night?"
Greer was shocked.
Lena showed a confused expression and shook her head. Then, she thought of something and her eyes opened wider and wider.
"Huh? No way! Did I lose my memory again? "
Reina clawed at her cheeks with both hands and shouted.
Losing her memory was probably the worst thing in her life.
"Don't worry, it's not that serious. Your mind was still shallow. It's normal for you to forget."
Reina turned around and saw Rinchad. He was holding a rope in his hand and dragging a strange box behind him. It was obviously made with magic. It was bound tightly by black wood and vines with Dodoro's and Reina's magic. To Reina's surprise, the box would move from time to time.
"Then what happened last night?"
Reina was curious about what was in the box and wanted to know what had happened last night.
"Hurry up and eat your breakfast. You still have two days to prepare. If you can't meet my requirements in two days, we will give up on this mission."
Reina quickly stood up.
This also meant that she could not save the Elven King and could only watch the heart of the Tree of God wither in her hands.
"I will definitely pass!"
Reina said with a determined look in her eyes.
Due to what happened last night, everyone's campsite was in a mess. Therefore, they did not explore the Dark Forest as usual. Instead, they were looking for things that had been washed away.
Fortunately, the valuable items were placed in the bag protected by magic, so only some clothes and daily necessities were washed away.
"Sigh, I have to do laundry again today, Lilith ~"
Dodoro lifted his muddy clothes and looked at Lilith with a pleading look.
"Wash it yourself."
Lilith said unhappily. At this time, she was still unhappy that her dressing box had been washed away.
At this time, she found Reina's bag. It was washed out of the tent by the water. Although it was impolite to open it, it was full of mud. She needed to clean it out.
Fortunately, there weren't many things inside, only two sets of clothes and a black gem. She was surprised to find that Reina was also carrying a book. She didn't look like someone who could read, but when she opened the book, there wasn't a single word in it.
She didn't know why, but she heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she put the book aside. Suddenly, she saw something glowing in the mud in the bag. She took it out and shook off the mud on it. She found that it was a strange compass. The needle on it was like a snake …
"Aren't we going to practice circles today?"
Reina asked curiously. She was wearing a long white short-sleeved shirt that looked like a skirt. Her pants were similar to Dodoro's, which looked like two banana leaves covering her thighs. However, she was shorter than Dodoro, so her pants ended below her knees.
Her clothes were washed away by the water, so she could only wear Lilith's shirt and Dodoro's pants.
"No, we're not going to practice these today. But remember to spend at least an hour every day practicing circles and towers. It'll only do you good."
Rinchad said as he pulled the strange box. Linnai followed behind him. She thought that it must be because of her outstanding performance that she didn't need to continue practicing. So, she swaggered away proudly.
"What are we going to practice today?"
Right after Linchad asked this question, he suddenly stopped. Linchad didn't react in time. After taking a few steps forward, she suddenly realized that there was no path in front of her. This was a huge pit! It was at least ten meters high! She was standing at the edge of the pit and almost fell in.
"Ugh! Ugh! You scared me to death. I almost fell down. "
Reina shouted.
"This is your training for the next two days."
"Huh? What? "
"Survival training. Your mission is … to survive for two days."
Before Linnai could react, someone pushed her from behind, and she was sent flying into the crater.
"Ahhh!"
Her blood-curdling screams reverberated throughout the crater. Following a loud bang, she fell heavily onto the ground with her arms and legs outstretched.
"What are you doing? Why did you push me?! "
Reina turned around and protested.
However, what she saw was a box flying towards her.
"Ow!"
Lena hurriedly dodged, only to hear a 'bang', the box smashed onto the ground and broke into pieces.
This time, she hid far away and was not hit by the flying debris. However, at this moment, a pair of cat eyes that made her hair stand on end appeared in the darkness. No! It's the darkness!
Reina shut her mouth. She had never seen such a creature. It had a streamlined body. It must be very fast. Its silver claws were hidden in its pitch-black fur. It had a long tail like a pitch-black tiger.
The moment she saw it, Reina felt fear. She bent down and instinctively wanted to draw her weapon from her waist. But when she grabbed nothing, her heart suddenly pounded.
Suddenly, the terrifying demonic beast turned around. It seemed to have no interest in Reina. It immediately ran out of the pit. Reina only saw a black shadow flash by and the demonic beast disappeared.
At the same time, it heard a roar. The black magic beast rolled down from the edge of the pit. It was knocked back by Lynchad, who was standing on top of the pit. It fell heavily into the pit, but it immediately disappeared.
It was hiding behind a rock.
At this time, Linchad's figure appeared on top of the pit. Reina looked over and anxiously looked at him for help. However, she saw a cold face.
"This is training and also a test. No one will help you in these two days unless you voluntarily give up. Of course, if you climb out of the pit, it will be considered as you voluntarily giving up. This mission will also be canceled."
As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared from Reina's sight.
Mr. Ball was not by her side. He had no weapon in his hand. In this unfamiliar environment, there was also a terrifying demonic beast. Under such circumstances, Reina realized how much courage Mr. Ball, who had always been by her side, had given her.
At this time, she was a little overwhelmed.
"This training is too strict. She might die." Lilith appeared beside Linchad. She looked anxiously at the pit. The demonic beast hiding on the rock, looking for a chance to escape, was a terrifying demonic beast called the Night Howler.
The Night Howler was a terrifying demonic beast that was more dangerous than the werewolf. The Adventurer's Guild labeled it as a four-star demonic beast. It required two dark adventurers with more than five years of combat experience to fight it.
However, the Night Howler was not as widespread as the werewolf, and there were not many of them. In addition, it only appeared at night, so there were very few incidents of the Night Howler attacking humans.
However, for adventurers, especially the novice dark adventurers, the Night Howler was their nightmare. This demonic beast had high intelligence and was good at sneak attacks. The dark fur on its body could not only perfectly hide in the dark but also resist magic attacks. It was also a troublesome opponent for mages.
Lilith was not one hundred percent sure that she could kill it if she was prepared, not to mention if it was sneak attacked. Therefore, she thought that Linchad's training this time was too risky.
"Potential is often stimulated in the face of danger, especially for this guy. After these few days of contact, you should know that ordinary education methods are useless for this guy …"
"But we can't let her take such a risk! She's just a teenager. "
Lilith frowned as she spoke.
Linchad took a deep breath and said, "I know that no one in this world cares about her more than me and my original body."
Hearing this, Lilith's gaze changed. She seemed to be at a loss.
"Then … Why do you want to put her in danger?"
Linchad avoided her gaze and said, "You know that I don't have time. I have to teach her how to protect herself. Only then can she survive in this dangerous world."
Lilith felt as if a nail had been stabbed into her heart. The pain was unbearable.
She fell silent and lowered her head to look at the ground.
Linchad noticed her actions and sighed.
At this time, in the big pit, Linnai picked up a rock. She seemed to have found the location of the black magic beast. It was hiding in the shadow of the rock. She couldn't help but admire how it almost overlapped with the shadow. If Linnai didn't observe the surroundings and found that it was especially dark, then she definitely wouldn't have found its hiding place.
Linnai didn't know what to do either. She was the same as Linnai. She was thrown in here by someone, so she was also confused.
"Let's put some distance between us first."
She slowly retreated until her back touched the hard rock wall.
The pit wasn't flat. There were many rocks and protruding rocks. Linnai slowly squatted down. She didn't dare to take her eyes off the other party. She had seen the other party's speed. If the other party wanted to attack her, Linnai didn't have the confidence to react and dodge.
After squatting down, Reina picked up the remains of the cage. It was a long piece of wood. She knew that it was useless, but at least she had something to hold in her hand. It was a little comforting.
"What should I do? What should I do?! "
She began to think of a solution. The Night Howler was a nocturnal creature. Now that it was injured, it probably would not attack Reina.
But what if it was hungry or at night? What would happen?
Reina swallowed her saliva. She would not take any chances if it was a kind demonic beast. She knew that it would definitely attack her in these two days.
Suddenly, she thought of something. The demonic beast might be resting! It might be waiting for its wound to heal!
Reina's face turned pale. She could not hesitate! She had to strike first!
"Flame Spell!"
A fireball emerged from Reina's right palm. In an instant, she saw a pair of terrifying eyes appear in the black shadow. It had been staring at her.
"Explosion Spell!"
She shouted loudly to boost her courage. Suddenly, the flame in her hand emitted a sharp sound. She threw the flame out.
The scorching fireball drew a C-shaped arc in the air before accurately hitting the black rock.
Boom!
The fireball immediately exploded and a large amount of smoke came out.
"I hit it?"
Reina's eyes widened. She regretted using this move. She seemed to have seen the other party's shadow in an instant. The low-speed fireball could not hit it!
"Where is it?"
Reina's breathing became erratic. She held the wooden board in her left hand and used the fireball in her right hand again. She searched for the Night Howler's shadow and was ready to attack at any time.
Under high tension, she would launch an indiscriminate attack at the slightest movement.
"Explosion Spell!"
Boom!
"Explosion Spell!"
Boom!
Just like that, there were violent explosions in the pit for more than ten minutes.
Rinchad frowned and took a deep breath.
This was a typical rookie mistake. Attacking without thinking in a panic would lead to all kinds of terrible consequences.
At this time, the Night Howler was hiding in a corner and resting quietly. It could be seen clearly from above the pit. Lilith clenched her fists tightly. She put her hands over her mouth and made them into the shape of a trumpet, as if she wanted to remind Reina.
But Rinchad put his hand on her shoulder and stopped her.
"This is not help! I'm just reminding her. Besides, isn't your training to teach her how to fight? "
Lilith retorted.
"No, it's not that simple. She has to rely on herself. Any help will only make her dependent."
Rinchad looked into the pit and continued.
"And I set up this training after careful consideration. You may not know, but this idiot … This idiot's intuition is sometimes more terrifying than a beast's. Just watch."
He said so.
Lilith was skeptical. Although Reina's magic was powerful, she was still too young. Her use of magic was still relatively immature. Only her ability to control magic could be considered outstanding.
But this could not make her an excellent Magician. Experience, knowledge, and long-term practice were all things that Reina lacked.
However, just as Lilith was worried, the explosion suddenly stopped. The smoke in the pit slowly dispersed. Reina's figure appeared in front of the two. She was in a fighting posture with a fireball in her hand.
The Night Howler appeared in front of her.
"How?"
Lilith was surprised. Why would the Night Howler appear of its own accord? Its injuries and stamina should not have recovered much.
However, when she saw that the smoke and dust had completely dissipated, she suddenly realized that the bunkers in the large pit, which were the rocks that could be used to hide, had all been blown up. At this time, the large pit could already be said to be a flat arena.
