Chapter 67: Step By Step
The white screen popped up in front of Darian again.
[Time Achieved: 140 minutes]

Suddenly, another stone door opened. Darian took a deep breath — this was the third floor, the same one Rhea had failed in the past. Now that he was here, he had no choice but to go all the way.
As he stepped through the gate, he found another massive arena — even bigger than the last. The murals of Beasts on the wall lit up... this time, 25 of them appeared!
These Beasts were no more than three meters tall. Smaller in size — otherwise, ten of them would've been enough to fill up the whole space, leaving no room to fight. Still, their power was clearly a step above the last batch.
Roars echoed everywhere. There were tigers, leopards, wolves, and lions... or, at least, they looked like those. In reality, they were more like terrifying monsters than actual animals. All of them came charging with cold, murderous eyes. No one would believe these were just illusions created by an Array.
How the hell was a regular human supposed to pass this test? Darian thought. But the answer came right away: this Array wasn't made for humans. It was built for the Chromaraic race.
