Chapter 178: Battling Luke part 1
Riven and Sofia were fighting a Demonized together. Riven leaped into the air and stabbed down at the Demonized, but suddenly, it vanished, leaving no trace.
He landed on the ground and looked at Sofia. She was also confused, not knowing what had happened.
"Did something go wrong?" he asked.
"I don’t know," she responded. They looked around, wondering if this was a special ability of the Demonized—possibly it was a mutated one—but it wasn’t.
"We should head back to the cabin to be safe," Riven said. They were about to head out, but then they heard screaming.
Curious, they headed in that direction, running fast through the forest, and then they spotted some of their classmates running. But not only them—there was a mix of second years, the ones that had come to help in the exam as well.
Riven became confused; he could see the dread on their faces. He stretched out his hand and grabbed one of them, pulling him to the side.
"What the hell is happening?" he asked the boy, but he was far too shaken from fear. He tried to speak, but his words came out as stammers.
But Riven didn’t have to wait anymore as he saw what was coming—tendrils ripping through the forest, tearing trees apart. One tendril wrapped around a girl, and before anyone could do anything, it squeezed her and snapped her in two before draining the life out of her right there.

When Riven saw this, he knew that the situation was no longer a simulation. Something had gone wrong. He let go of the boy, and he immediately scurried away.
