Tap.
With a light push, Adam inserted the amber orb directly into the platform as a bright light ran along the lines along the edges.
Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.
The platform trembled, alarming Adam. He understood that the platform was supposed to pave his way to the next trial, but unlike the elevator, he had no understanding of how it worked.
Moreover, given his previous experience, he didn't know where he would go next, up or down.
But... before leaving the arena, he wanted to get something else.
Whoooooooosh.
All the blood absorbed into the amber orb flowed along a separate, empty line from a socket hidden from view.
Click.
With a light click, the socket opened as a dark fragment floated in front of Adam, looking very similar to the first one.
"Hah, you were right." He turned to Silvana, staring at the fragment. "The main condition has always been victory, right? That's all it takes to get the grand prize!"
