It had been seven years since Pearl started absorbing aura for his Creations. Each day was busy for him as he strove to completely absorb everything in the time it took for Alex and the rest to come out of the central region of the Talon.
The Talon still worked the same as always, taking people into the core and back out. He had also heard about people who had gotten far into the Talon, with the furthest anyone had reached being the Ninth Trial.
No one could cross the trial with the fire birds that appeared directly in their Soul Space. It was a terrifying matter.
The rewards were also beginning to become public. Some received special crystals, some received raw metal ores. Some received rare plants, and some received feathers and scales of various beasts. Some even received the beast cores of previously dead beasts as rewards.
No one truly knew what reward there was for someone who made it all the way to the final trial.
