Max's Trial

As the trial began, Max stood firm, his lightning-coated left hand crackling with energy while flames surged from his right.

A group of Stone Beasts—towering creatures with rocky exteriors—emerged from the mist. Their bodies were covered in thick stone plates, making them highly resistant to normal attacks.

Max nodded.

"Perfect test subjects."

"Time to see if my knowledge is still valid"

With a burst of speed, he dashed forward, his enhanced strength propelling him like a cannonball. His flaming fist struck the first beast's chest, exploding on impact, sending cracks through its rocky hide.

Before it could react, Max followed up with his lightning-coated left fist, delivering a thunderous punch to its head. The electrical surge paralyzed the creature, causing it to shudder violently before collapsing to the ground.
