"Right. You feed on energy"
Venom drips from Ezra's tone, but no reply is given.
Yet, Ezra could feel it. These creatures-multiple in number-aren't mindless beasts in any capacity.
They were specifically and systematically hunting him, probably to absorb his energy, though he couldn't be sure yet.
In any case, the trial requirement for him is most likely to defeat these creatures, which Ezra believes is proven by the fact that he was blocked by a barrier and forced to take the crystal ball at the start.
Still, the environment of this third section surprised him the most.
'To think the third section would be an area of complete darkness, I'm astounded'
Even while thinking this, Ezra lay still with his eyes closed as he stretched his senses to the maximum, waiting for the next attack.
