The Third Trial: A Desperate Search

Two hours later, in a charred black room covered in blood and chitin fragments, rocks trembled, softly rumbling as a figure rose from beneath with difficulty.

Octavia's golden eyes hurriedly scanned the room to locate the chimaera, unaware she had lost consciousness after the terrible collision she suffered. Worse, her body entered into a coma to accelerate her regeneration.

However, only chaos and devastation greeted her eyes as she worriedly muttered, "What happened? Where are you, Adam?"

She trembled, imagining the worst, when she noticed the hybrid lying dead before the stairs. She swiftly ran towards it and examined its wounds, her pupils enlarging in fear. How did this fearsome creature end up so mangled? She failed to understand what had transpired.
