Zaen and the Mawspawn remained at their spots without moving. The anomaly tried a few times to get out, but the light from above immediately burned its outstretched arm.
He thought about using the thorns and Aceso's mark to kill the creature from where he was sitting, but then decided against it.
The 'test' was to see his capabilities. He was sure that if he killed the anomaly using the mark and ring, the higher-ups would find another reason to disturb his sleep. He needed a more concrete method to shut them out completely.
"Well, this is ridiculous," Zaen sighed before slapping his thigh.
If the anomaly wasn't going to come out, then he would force it. Zaen stomped on the ground, sprinting towards the anomaly with all his strength.
The anomaly snarled at him, revealing its deadly claws once again. Zaen's momentum increased with each step. The anomaly was snapping its jaws in excitement.
