"The true test begins now!"
Rong announced loudly.
A portal composed entirely of runes appeared behind it.
The gate opened with a boom.
Rong turned around and flew towards the gate.
Just as it was about to leave—
—But it hadn't announced what the test actually was!
Dolores couldn't help but ask:
"Great Heroic Spirit, what is the trial you have bestowed?"
Rong looked back at the crowd and said:
"To survive—"
"Survive for thirty minutes, and you will have passed the test."
"At that time, you just need to tell me the information you've gathered, and you'll be considered to have passed!"
It entered the gate.
Rumble rumble rumble—
The gate slowly closed.
The entire rune portal vanished from sight.
The crowd stood in place, somewhat bewildered.
Survive for thirty minutes?
—Could it mean that the Heroic Spirit was suggesting this place was extremely dangerous?
Dolores ordered, "All hands on deck, form a defensive formation!"
"Yes!"
