I watch the two monuments once more.

─ ─ A sphere with tight black chains everywhere on the surface.

─ ─ A triangular cone with wings growing from all over the surface.

One was a familiar form.

Yes, it is similar to the existence - [Naruto] - that sums up the [darkness] we met when we entered the 'Black Phase (Cliphoto)' before.

Unlike [Nara], which was the biggest part of the city, the monument in front of you is at most five meters tall.

The other is an unrecognizable form, but being positioned to pair with [Nara] probably means that...

[Light] Overall Being, [Nirvana].

I heard from Margo. It would be a monument that mimics that.

"Man, what do you want?"

"What do you want to get"

A voice echoed from the monument.

Just hearing that heavy voice opens pores all over your body and sweat erupts.

The dull pressure doesn't seem to suck, even with the artifacts.

"This is the temple that presides over the 'trials'"

"In the dawn, which is brilliantly overcome, you shall have what you desire."

"The Temple of 'Trials'......?

As the name suggests, if you complete that 'trial', you seem to give me what I want.

What I want - I mean, more power.

I care what the trial is about, but you said another thing that bothers me.

The Chain of Darkness I received two years ago.

It was a spell in the temple of the offering.

"Ask now"

"Man, what do you want?"

"Power."

I said toward two monuments.

"Why seek strength?

"Revenge."

I simply replied.

Yes, there's no other reason.

You should come, for a showdown with Euno.

I want to be more powerful than ever so that I can win.

I just want to avoid that my vengeance ends in a mixed ending of failure - payback.

"Then let me show you. Thy soul."

"Then let me show you. Your true nature."

V...... n!

Two monuments dashed brightly, making a sound that would.

"Gu......"

At the same time, chills run all over your body.

What an unpleasant feeling.

It creates discomfort that is swung around the back of the chest.

"Ugh... Gu..."

I sprouted to the point of vomiting and I nodded on the spot.

"Master Chrome!

Shea and Yurin scream at the same time and crouch to my left and right.

"Are you okay?"

"How are you feeling...?

"A little... na"

I nodded small to them leaning from left to right.

Blunt headaches are repeated intermittently.

Sweat erupts and the temperature cools.

What the hell is this...!?

"I've explored what lies at your root."

"You don't seem very sturdy. I didn't know I couldn't stand this amount of load."

[Nirvana] and [Nara] replicas say pale.

"Oh... I'm weak... I'm gonna need a little more work"

I took a breath with them.

"Exploration complete"

They didn't even show how it worked at all, and they told him.

"I see. Is the strength of your [darkness] due to it"

"Full of rage, hate, despair, sadness... and there still seems to be a stretch of money"

"Interesting"

"Really interesting"

Two monuments vibrated lightly.

As if you were laughing.

Let's get down to business.

"that you are seeking further strength."

"There's only one way to make it happen"

"I'll give you a trial now"

"Trial...... you say?

I was supported by Shea and Yulin and stood up weakly.

"When you have overcome it - you will gain the power of complete [darkness] in its foothold."

"Okay, let's get started"

"Accelerate [the darkness]. Deepen it."

"That final stage."

V...... n!

The two monuments ring again.

"Go."

"Destroy."

They told me.

At the same time, countless silhouettes emerge so that they melt out of space.

"These guys..."

Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

Countless roars that echo.

It was an army of aliens.

A man-shaped one.

Beast shaped ones.

Geometric design.

amorphous organism.

Dragon.

The monsters in all their appearances approach us from all directions.

Shortly afterwards, black scaly powder spread around me.

[Darkness] 's EX skills [Fixed Damage].

Invincible power that instantly deals 9999 damage to all monsters that fall within the range of effects.

At the same time, they turned from one end into a particle of light and erased it.

Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

But a new hand emerges from the vanished end.

Next, push to the next.

"Shea, Yulin. If some of them have more than 10,000 HP, they could reach below us. Get ready."

"Yes, Master Chrome!

Shea pulls out a red, shining sword, and Yurin puts an aura of magic all over her body.

The monsters have been pushing away, disappearing or not.

It seems to gush infinitely.

If you can't get past the trials, you mean there's only death.

"Superior."

I went one step at a time.

"Shea, Yulin. Let's go. Don't leave me."

"Yes, Master Chrome"

"By your side."

Shea and Yurin leaned on my left and right, as they have done all along in this ruin.

"Come on, get under us. If we make it, let's pass."

"But if you cannot get there, you will die. Both [subordinates] there."

Two monuments told.

"I won't let anyone die"

I'm going one step at a time.

Me too, Shea and Yulin.

Get out of here alive.

And get the power.

to complete the journey of vengeance.

Ahead, for tomorrow.
