NovelEnglishRey clutched his elbows as he couldn't stop his body from shaking. Anxiety was written all over his face and a part of him hoped that the darkness around him wouldn't dissipate just yet and the teleportation wouldn't be completed, giving him some time to stall.
However, the Spire was ruthless.
Soon, the darkness began to fade, revealing Rey's new surroundings. He found himself standing in an open space, an even ground without any shrub or tree in sight.
This was vastly different from the group setting he was accustomed to. The solitude was immediate and heavy, a stark contrast to the camaraderie and support he had just moments ago.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRey took a deep breath, trying to steady his nerves. The anxiety gnawing at him was palpable, but he knew he couldn't let it overpower him. This was his moment to prove himself, to show that he was more than just a member of Liam's team - he was a capable individual in his own right.
The Spire's individual challenge was designed to test not just physical strength or combat skills, but also mental resilience and adaptability.
And Rey hoped that this test would be the latter rather than the former, something he could complete with sheer will power.
However, once again his wish was not granted. Heavy footsteps thudded in the distance and Rey's heart sank as he realized that his challenge was not going to be a simple test of willpower. The thudding grew louder and more distinct, indicating that something large was approaching. Rey braced himself, trying to calm his racing heart.
As the creature came into view, Rey saw that it was a giant, towering over him with an imposing presence. Its eyes glinted with a predatory gleam, and its massive form exuded raw, physical power. Rey knew he was at a distinct disadvantage in terms of strength and size. Perhaps if he could use it against the giant? Was there a way for him to somehow cause damage to the humongous creature?
No. Rey managed to squeeze out a breath. Even if everything looked dismal and he was without a doubt fucked up, he was not going to stand here like a fucking doormat and take whatever falls on his head.
Liam would not do that. If his bro had been in the same situation as him, he definitely would not have given up and stood helplessly like this. Why couldn't he do the same?
Amidst his despair, a flicker of defiance sparked within him. Rey's eyes hardened. He might be outmatched, but he wasn't going to just give up and wait for his end.
He took another deep breath, trying to steady his trembling limbs. He had to move, to act, even if his chances were slim.
Rey was definitely not in his best condition but he had calmed down enough to notice that the giant was lacking in the speed department. Maybe there was a chance for him after all.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe immediately summoned his beast companions and watched the giant, trying to observe every small detail that he possibly could.
However, the next second, his face once again paled. His beasts?! What the hell happened to his beasts?? Why was he not able to summon them? What was he even supposed to do now?
He was a beast master and he was supposed to fight without his beasts or his bow? How was this fair?
Motherfucker! Was this the final nail in his coffin?
Rey looked up at the giant who had already closed the distance between them. There was a bitter smile on his face that was drenched in sweat. The end was here but he was not willing.
The giant grinned viciously as it brought its hand up, along with the big ass club it was holding. The next second, the giant club and the hand came crashing down at Rey.
