Whoosh—!
A man's figure nimbly flipped backward in the dark space, avoiding the sharp, silver blades aimed at his feet without a scratch.
His right hand was empty, yet it was enveloped in a red halo.
Magic surged within the runes' radiance, forming a magic circle that summoned him to ascend into the sky.
A crimson flame magic circle floated in the air, its patterns beginning to merge and intertwine, forming a fiery phoenix with nine tails.
Heavy magic gathered in the sky, and crimson runes were carved on the edge of the formation.
The phoenix totem in the center was enveloped in obscure and ancient characters, gradually radiating an even more dazzling light.
[Fourth-Tier Magic: Falling Flame]
Viktor stood below the formation, muttered a curse, and his eyes flashed with fierce fire.
A massive fireball, as hot as a miniature sun, gradually emerged from the sky.
As the first fireball was created, the remaining eight orbs of light appeared one after another, and under Viktor's deliberate control, they fell to the ground.
The scorching flames streaked across the parched air and landed on the judge's body.
Instantly, the fireball exploded, and intense, scorching flames rose up, completely enveloping the skeleton dressed in a red cloak.
Amid the explosions and billowing smoke, Victor squinted.
He could clearly sense that the enemy before him was unharmed.
His body trembled slightly from the powerful impact.
As expected, after a few seconds of silence in the flames, the Skeleton Judge once again brandished its menacing scythe.
He abruptly shook off the flames on his body, simultaneously dispelling the swirling smoke and dust in the air.
The judge's upper body began to blur like a ghost.
A gentle breeze blew by, and a touch of coolness ruffled the short hair and neat collar on Viktor's face.
The next instant, the Judge and his crimson withered cloak appeared before Victor.
The raised bone scythe suddenly fell, tearing through space and creating a sharp rift in the void.
Seeing the attack coming at him, Victor remained calm and casually raised the dark round shield on his left hand.
Zzz!
A crisp collision pierced the silent air, and a crimson spark froze in mid-air for a moment.
A crisp sound echoed throughout the empty prison, and a bright red spark froze in mid-air.
In the game, each shield has a blocking effect.
Players can withstand many attacks through precise operation and quick reaction.
However, if the defense is too low, the player may not be able to defend successfully, or the shield may be completely destroyed.
However, Victor's 'Evil Knight' on his left hand is not bound by this condition.
The shield's blocking ability is due to its inherent mechanism, making it difficult to break even with an attack as strong as this one.
After each successful block, the shield inflicts a brief stun effect on the enemy, ignoring any defensive attribute limitations.
Therefore, as long as his operation is skilled and perfect enough, he can skillfully defend against almost all attacks.
Through the flying sparks, Victor saw the judge who had been successfully parried.
Its movements faltered slightly, and even its scarlet skull eyes seemed to temporarily lose their luster.
However, this dizziness only lasted for a brief moment.
As the sparks gradually dissipated, the Judge quickly regained its mobility, raised its sharp scythe once more, and swung it down fiercely at Victor.
The scythe's slashing speed was astonishing, and Viktor was unable to retrieve his round shield in time.
He had no choice but to quickly lean back and keep his body close to the ground to avoid the attack that swept over his head.
He then quickly rolled away, creating distance between himself and the enemy.
Viktor, who was resting for a while, took a few deep breaths, his gaze fixed on the judge, and seemed slightly dazed.
This was dizziness caused by his brain.
The root cause is fatigue.
It had been a long time since Viktor had felt tired.
This place, far removed from the world, has disabled all of his special abilities, including the power of calamity.
Only some basic magic he had learned remained available.
Furthermore, the lack of Vega's support forced Victor to use his mana reserves more sparingly.
War magic used to be readily available, but now even fourth-tier magic requires careful consideration before use.
Within this trial prison, the player's basic abilities become the focus of the trial.
Only by relying on these fundamental abilities to continuously resist the Judge's offensive and launch counterattacks can players pass the test.
And now...
Viktor dodged to the side, the long scythe slicing past him and leaving a thin, narrow rift in the air.
He rolled over and stood firm, looking up at the empty sky in the darkness.
In that deep darkness, a crimson inscription floated:
[Trial has been approved; you may exit immediately]
This shows that Victor's abilities have been recognized by the judges.
However, as long as he doesn't voluntarily leave, the battle will be far from over.
Several slashes tore through space as they came from the front, extending forward and heading straight for Victor.
Just then, several fierce slashes tore through space and rushed straight towards Victor.
With his agile movements, he performed a backflip and leaped into the air as the cold blade swept past him.
It skillfully avoided the twisted marks and landed safely on the ground behind it.
The judge slowly retracted its slender scythe, waiting for the void rift in space to gradually heal.
At this moment, Victor straightened up and turned to the skeleton wearing a skull robe.
More precisely, his gaze fell on the pitch-black birdcage nestled between the skull's ribs.
