WYVERN

A figure flew out and crashed into a wall, the statue nocked another arrow and pointed at that same spot and as he did, James struggled to stand up but his whole body felt like he had fallen from a skyscraper, every movement caused him pain but faced with the impending threat of death, he ignored the pain even though he knew that he would regret it later on.

The statue pointed the bow at James and was about to release it but then it paused but not because it felt sympathy for James but because James had suddenly split into two.

After seeing that the statue was distracted, one of the James suddenly ran towards the orb with such speed that it looked like he didn't have a single injury but when the statue saw this, it immediately aimed at James and fired the arrow but before it could touch him, he suddenly disappeared and appeared at a further location which caused him to avoid facing the arrow which struck the wall but surprisingly didn't even cause a scratch.

When it saw that it's attack had failed to touch his target, the statue suddenly made some signs with its hands then it's eyes suddenly glowed brighter and all the other statues fell to the ground as the light in their eyes dimmed then it raised it bow and nocked another arrow and then pointed it at the James that was almost at the location of the orb.

As the arrow left the bow, it suddenly transformed into a large flaming arrow which immediately hit James and caused him to explode.

It was after seeing that it had killed it's first target, it looked towards the location of the second James but to its surprise found that he had disappeared and that was when it heard a mocking voice coming from the location of the orb so it looked towards it and saw James standing with the orb in his hands.

"Looking for me?" James asked with a mocking grin as he glared at the statue which lost all the glow in its eyes then a large door appeared in front of James but as he was about to leave, he glanced at a hole in the wall that had the exact shape as the medallion so he walked towards it after thinking then he inserted the medallion in the wall.

After he inserted the medallion in the wall, he saw some unknown energy enter the medallion which caused part of it to grow brighter but he still couldn't see anything on it so he just placed it back in his dimension space and walked through the door to the next challenge.

James walked through the door and appeared in a small room which had torches on the walls and some more inscriptions on the wall so he walked towards it eagerly while he drank two intermediate grade health potion because of the severity of his injuries and immediately he felt that same soothing sensation that was magnified because he had taken twice the amount he took the last time and in some seconds all his injuries were healed and he started to miss that sensation and think if he should take another but soon dismissed that thought as he read the inscriptions on the wall.

"There will be two items shown to you, one contains a potion that will help you in the next challenge and the second contains a potion that will increase the difficulty of the challenge so choose wisely for this decision will greatly affect the rest of the challenges" James read the inscriptions on the wall and when he finished, he heard the click sound then a platform extended from the wall with two potions.

When he saw the two potions, one red and the other light blue, he suddenly had a great idea and he used inspect on both potions and he saw this information.

[POTION OF ICE]

RANK–????

DESCRIPTION

"Well, at least this reduced the difficulty of the challenge but still without knowing the next challenge, this is still going to be hard, looks like I am gonna have to make a lucky guess" James said with tiredness as he read the description of the potions then suddenly his head shot up as the corners of his mouth rose up to reveal a smile.

"In the first challenge, I was exposed to a cold environment so there is a 70% chance that the next challenge will be conducted in a hot environment so I will take my chances and trust my luck that I made the right decision" James said to himself as he picked the red potion and then he heard another clicking sound and the other potion disappeared while a door appeared before him but before he went through, he glanced around the room.

As he glanced around the room, he caught sight of a hole with the sane shape as the medallion and so he walked towards it and placed the medallion in the hole then energy gathered in it and a small part lit up just enough for him to see a slight circular shape but he couldn't guess what it was so he placed the medallion in his dimension space and walked through the door.

He walked through the door and appeared in a extremely hot cave with a sealed door at the end, he immediately drank the potion which reduced the heat to a point that he couldn't feel it at all.

"Whew that was close, I was lucky otherwise, I would have been roasted alive if I chose the other potion" James said with relief as he wondered what would have happened if he hadn't chosen the first potion.

After resting, he looked around and saw some inscriptions on the wall so he walked towards it and read it.

"You are in the cave of a fire creature, you are required to get an item from the inner depths of its cave, the item will be revealed to you when you are in a close vicinity but be careful because the creature does not take likely to strangers in its cave" James read as he shivered in fright at the difficulty of the challenge, he heard the click sound and the sealed gate opened.

"What could possibly live in such a hot environment without.. whoa what was that" James said but suddenly fell to the ground as the ground trembled for some seconds then returned back to normal.

"I have to get out of here quickly, I can sense danger in every corner of this place, it seems like the difficulty increases with every challenge, I hope that it will be worth it" James grumbled as he got out of the cave and ended up in a huge passage navigated through the passage as he moved in and out of the caves in the passage and after 10 seconds, the ground trembled again more furiously than the last time and caught him off-guard which caused him to fall to the ground again.

"What could be causing these tremors and what fire creature could be hidden within this caves" James said with slight fear as he felt a feeling that he had never felt before, the feeling of anticipation and the suspense.

He walked through the cave but didn't encounter any danger but he still felt like he was constantly about to be attacked so he never let his guard down as he walked through each cave and gradually, he was starting to feel the heat rising as he got bearer to the last cave at the end of the passage.

As he got near the cave, the ground trembled more furiously than the previous and even though he was prepared, he still ended up on the ground and from this he knew that he close to the source of the tremors and this caused his heart to clench as his heart started to beat so fast that he could hear it or so it seemed to him.

"Is that...a.. dragon or am I hallucinating, now I understand, fire creature" James said with fear as he finally saw the cause of the tremors and it sent shivers up his spine as he was face to face with a 50 foot tall dragon.

[ACTUALLY THIS IS A WYVERN]

"What does it matter if it is a wyvern or..." James said and paused as he started trembling in fear because he could see a large eye looking down at him.

"WHO DARES TO STEP FOOT IN MY HOME, ALL INTRUDERS SHALL DIE " The wyvern loud voice boomed through the cave and caused it to tremble as it blew a sea of flames towards James.
