"Boom!"
Elsewhere within the Holy Land, the sound of battle shook the forest.
A young man with a sharp, blade-like aura was locked in fierce combat with a Level 4 monster. Stones cracked under their blows, and each collision produced thunderous echoes.
Nearby, several candidates stood watching, cheering loudly with flattering smiles.
After exchanging more than a dozen blows with the monster, the youth's eyes flashed with determination. He suddenly gripped his sword tightly and unleashed a streak of dazzling light.
The blade tore through the air like lightning.
The Level 4 monster barely had time to react before the radiant sword energy struck it directly. With a sickening sound, its massive body split cleanly into two halves.
Silence followed.
The youth stood tall, wind tugging at his clothes. The sword in his hand dripped with the fresh crimson blood of the fallen monster. Under the sunlight filtering through the trees, his figure looked heroic and imposing.
