Chapter 101: Monarch Realm Puppet!
A few moments passed, and they finally reached the pavilion. They couldn’t help but feel slightly nervous at the sight—passing this stage would determine whether they could obtain the inheritance of the ancient sect.
However, one person didn’t seem the least bit nervous. After all, his life was basically guaranteed. Without hesitation, he pushed the door open.
The others entered as well. However, their eyes quickly widened in surprise. They were shocked to see that instead of the usual twelve puppets, just one puppet was standing guard over the treasures and orb hovering ahead. They immediately felt that something was wrong.
"Could it be?" Kranos muttered under his breath as he glanced at Kathryn. He had some faint guesses in his heart which he hoped weren’t true. Kathryn shook her head, signaling that she didn’t know the answer.
"What’s there to worry about? Since it’s just one puppet, if we can handle it, we’ll definitely obtain the final key to the trial."
Luka didn’t seem concerned about anything. Seeing the hesitant expressions on the faces of the others, he rushed forward without minding them.
Immediately, he reached the puppet. His sword had appeared in his hand at some point, and without hesitation, he slashed at the puppet. However, just as he did so, the puppet’s eyes glowed slightly with a faint tinge of red. Instantly, the puppet’s hand moved.
Before they could react, the puppet had slashed Luka’s hand apart. The others were shocked and could hardly believe it. However, just as they stared, they realized that Luka’s hand slowly dissolved into wisps of smoke... it was an afterimage!
"Fortunately, I was fast enough. I can’t imagine what I would have done without my hand," Luka’s faint voice resounded.
