Two hours after the start of the third trial.
The sky began to darken.
"...Ugh..."
A young girl powerlessly collapsed to her knees on the ground.
She couldn't support herself any longer.
Her exposed arms and beautiful face were already covered with fine blood marks, her long hair matted with congealed blood into stiff clumps.
For a trial taker like her, who was relatively behind, elixirs were scarce, so her physical injuries had no time to heal.
Additionally, she had consumed a lot of spiritual power, and her spirit beast was already battered and bruised from the first six stages of the second trial, unable to endure much more damage.
Indeed, if the spirit beast were to die, the enslavement contract could disengage at the minimal cost.
But ultimately, it would still be a significant blow.
