In this space, which is different from the previous world, he naturally cannot control the natural energy of the calamity.

After checking everything, Victor turned his gaze to the center of the cell.

There, a blurry phantom gradually flickered before him, becoming clearer over time.

Victor squinted; everything was going exactly as he had expected.

Before me was a floating skeleton, draped in a tattered red cloak and holding a slender, unusually long scythe.

The skeleton seemed to have also sensed Victor's presence.

It slowly turned its head, its empty gaze falling on Viktor.

Above its head was displayed its rank and its scarlet name.

[Judge] LV: ? ? ?

But what's remarkable is that it doesn't have a health bar.

Because as the judge, it cannot be defeated.

In this space, it is absolutely invincible.

And when it appears, it means—

"Has the trial already begun?"

Viktor muttered to himself.

At the same time, he gently twisted his neck and rotated his arms, as if preparing.

He stretched out his palm, expending his magic power to ignite a blazing flame in his hand.

He knew that as long as he performed well enough to convince the judges that he hadn't cheated, he could leave this space.

As the fireball flickered and lit up, the entire dark prison was illuminated.

Even the more detailed outline of Death was revealed to Victor's eyes.

Then he saw that in the center of the ribs of the footless skeleton, an exquisite birdcage was hanging below half of the spine.

A black, one-eyed raven seemed to have lost consciousness, lying unconscious and motionless in the birdcage.

"I see, so this is how viruses are dealt with?"

Seeing this, Viktor put away the flames he had lit.

He gently twisted his feet, stretching his body slightly.

Immediately, a small round shield appeared on his left arm.

Its blood-red eyes were menacing, as if it were grinning coldly.

【Evil Knight】

Originally, Victor just wanted to get through the trial without much effort.

But now it seems:

"It seems I have no choice but to defeat you."
