Multiple sounds crashed into each other across the entire area where the Fifth Trial was taking place.
Gunshots rang out in sharp bursts, Ground Apes screamed, their voices rough and tearing through the air, heavy pounding shook the ground again and again as massive feet struck the earth, somewhere in between, explosions flared, sending dirt and broken wood into the air.
All of it mixed together.
Not in rhythm, not in order, just pure chaos.
The boy who had been sent toward the back of the castle ran as fast as he could, his breath uneven as Cognis flowed through his body, strengthening his legs and pushing him forward faster than he normally could manage.
His shoes scraped against the ground as he turned sharply around a corner… and then he stopped.
His eyes widened, for a moment, he forgot to breathe.
The entire front field on that side… was untouched.
Not a single trap triggered, not a single broken structure, no scattered bodies like the other side.
It looked…Calm.
