She cleared her throat before feigning calmness and saying, "Though it wasn't easy for you all to get here, as a creation of the Divine, I won't hold back. Are you ready? The trial officially begins now!"
With that, the unfamiliar Stone Spirit flipped her hand, and a giant battle axe emitting a fierce chill appeared, her aura instantly surging.
Seeing this, all our powerful allies dared not be careless, all readying themselves in response.
It is well-known that the trial of the Divine Stone is extrely demanding, undoubtedly a life-and-death test for ordinary champions.
Back then, even exploration teams sent by top forces standing at the peak of the Ten Thousand Clans often returned defeated, succeeding only after multiple challenges, demonstrating its difficulty.
Seeing Leo Ray and his team getting serious, even Anna assud a combat stance, as large beads of sweat appeared on the unfamiliar Stone Spirit's forehead.
Was this her trial to conduct, or rather, a prelude to a beating?!
Nervous at heart, the unfamiliar Stone Spirit took a deep breath despite her fear, then whipped up a fierce gale headed toward Leo Ray's team.
Judging by her armor and the towering figures through the Gate, it wasn't difficult to surmise that she was clearly a force-type Stone Spirit with monstrous strength, and from her actions earlier in nullifying the Magic Restriction in the Forbidden Land, she possessed considerable magical prowess as well, making her not easily dealt with just from her presence alone.
Just as all of Leo Ray's team were fully focused and bracing for action, an unexpected incident occurred.
The unfamiliar Stone Spirit, carrying an overwhelming aura, flew forward a few ters before tripping on an unseen stone, tumbling over, her battle axe slipping from her grasp.
"Hehe, seems this lady has lost; you are indeed extraordinary."
The unfamiliar Stone Spirit laughed awkwardly as she got up from the ground, clearing her throat once more with a serious face saying, "Congratulations, Your Majesty of the Humans, you've passed my trial! From now on, I belong to the monarch!"
"..."
The crowd fell silent imdiately, even Sheila and others of the Stone Spirit kind widened their eyes, too slow to react.
Goodness, was this trial that haphazard? More precisely, isn't this akin to giving it away for free?
"Tsk, as if watching from the sidelines isn't easy. I could stand another beating, but what if Your Majesty of the Humans gets hurt?"
Clearly aware of her kin's thoughts, the unfamiliar Stone Spirit maintained a righteous appearance.
"Since that's the case, I'll humbly accept."
Leo Ray could naturally sense the mind communication among the Stone Spirits, helplessly smiling.
"Hehe, this lady can't wait to sign the contract with the monarch!"
An eager flush appeared on the unfamiliar Stone Spirit's tawny face as she transford back into her Divine Stone form, a crystal clear dark purple gemstone glowing brilliantly.
In the next mont, this new Divine Stone rested in Leo Ray's palm.
Upon touching the stone, Leo Ray experienced a radiant and blazing golden light rising, enveloping both him and the Divine Stone within.
This was a sensation Leo Ray knew well, marking the beginning of a contract signing.
"I wonder if I'll see sothing different this ti?"
As Leo Ray thought this in his heart, the brilliant golden light before him faded suddenly, revealing a scene verging on apocalyptic.
Leo Ray found himself standing amidst unknown broken walls, surrounded by scorched corpses and blackened earth, cries and wails echoing constantly.
Amid surprise, the once bright surroundings suddenly dimd, as if the sun was obscured by sothing. Leo instinctively looked up.
What he saw next was unforgettable for life.
In the smoke-filled sky, a colossal shadow was soaring across, its sheer size obscuring the heavens, so imnse that the edges of its form couldn't be discerned. The surrounding smoke made it impossible to identify what it was, appearing extrely blurred.
From its body countless enormous tentacles stretched out, indicating it was a terrifying unknown creature.
At that mont, the horrifying giant creature moved through the skies, its tentacles chaotically dancing, forming an incredibly daunting scene, causing Leo Ray's scalp to tingle with fear. Compared to the chilling giant creature, the people on the ground seed less than ants.
At the sa ti, an unrivaled imnse pressure descended from above, nearly causing Leo Ray to lose his footing.
"This is…?!"
Leo Ray froze briefly, then quickly realized.
If his guess was correct, this might be one of the scenes oblivious to everyone from the Era of Blankness.
And that terrifying giant creature likely resembled what lay beneath the Fishman Castle and the sand-robed old man's unknown existence.
However, this was rely an illusion presented by a Deity. If Leo Ray witnessed such a scene firsthand, he'd likely be overwheld by its monstrous aura already.
Right as Leo Ray thought this, a thunderous roar suddenly reverberated through the sky.
That roar was akin to thunder, deafening and filled with hostility and murderous intent.
Following this, countless bizarre giant black fireballs sprayed from the hulking body of the terrifying creature in the sky, resembling a teor shower, densely raining down on the ground!
In awe of the indescribable sight, Leo Ray opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word, while around him, the cries and screams were truly heart-wrenching.
In the mont Leo was perplexed about whether this was a past vision or reality, a bleakly bright giant blade suddenly lit up in the sky, slicing the unbeatable monster in half and abruptly ceasing everything.
Once Leo Ray ca back to his senses, he was again in the resplendent scene earlier, with the unfamiliar Stone Spirit returned to human form.
The Stone Spirit clasped her hands to her chest, her tawny face full of solemnity as she recited the Stone Spirit oath.
"…In the na of the gods, I forge a sacred contract with thee, offering my power unto thee, assisting thee in pursuing truth, may truth endure eternally!"
As the words ended, Leo Ray was slightly stunned as the new Divine Revelation arrived, surging into his mind like a tempest.
This ti, much of the Divine Revelation's content remained information about other Divine Stone holders' positions and basic information, alongside a map marking a particular location.
This map was not unfamiliar to Leo Ray, even extrely familiar.
"Is this Coldfla Kingdom's Northern Territory map? The marked point, is it the spot I suspect the Northern Territory's giant creature remains are? This is precisely where I've been searching!"
"But why did the prompting voice tell this location? Is there so unknown secret hidden there or perhaps clues to the truth of the Era of Blankness?"
Leo Ray nodded slightly, taking a deep breath.
Regardless, this is the clue he needed, once tonight's matters settle, he must proceed to that location promptly to uncover everything.
In the next mont, Leo Ray's surroundings shifted again, now in an endless pure white space, where the unfamiliar Stone Spirit stood eagerly ahead.
This scene was equally familiar to Leo Ray, naturally for selecting the Secret Spell venue.
"Now, let see what skills you truly possess."
Leo Ray focused his mind, directing his attention entirely onto the Stone Spirit before him.
