Nial's Challenge

Only 25 participants would be able to advance to the 3rd round.

That seemed a bit less but Nial wasn't all that worried about it as he expected.

He spectated the fight of the other participants' Runic Puppets and figured that everyone would have roughly received the same number of points from killing the beasts that appeared in quick succession.

In most cases, the difference in points was created due to the behavior of the beasts that moved like the intelligent, ferocious existences they were.

The moment the beasts' rank exceeded the average strength of the Runic Puppets they started to face difficulties. Nearly no Runic puppet had received protective garments from their Runicier, which was why every single successful attack of the beasts caused critical damage to the Puppets.

Some Runic Puppets started to malfunction because crucial runic constellations were damaged through the inflicted wound, while others lost some of their combat prowess.
