In the middle of the mist trial, suddenly, all the hidden assassins felt a chill of dread run down their spines. That was because Darian had started hunting everyone nearby directly, taking them down without mercy. He couldn't waste time there now—he had to regularly stabilize Niara's ethereal body.

He reappeared in front of an open field, no mist in sight. Ahead of him, there was a spatial distortion that made it impossible to see what was inside. Suddenly...
*Slap! Slap!*
