Chapter 10 - Chapter 8 - The Second Trial

Lewin watched all the events that happened on that little experiment of the Dragon and was quite impressed by some facts that were brought to light thanks to it.

'So the Dragon can sense things on it's surroundings huh... I can't see it as anything else other than my Sixth sense i developed to save Vin's energy.' He said with a surprised face.

Creations were inferior beings, meaning that those created from him couldn't be compared to him, so the fact that a creation had acquired one of it's abilities was quite a impressive sigh. But when he though a bit better on the situation, he noticed that it actually made some sense.

Titans were strong creatures, so much that on the Primordial Continent they ruled as the kings of the land, and had the power to do anything they wished to. And that dragon, it not only was a titan, but also was a dragon, that were very powerful in nature, it was a being that almost touched the realm of gods, so it was clear that it could acquire an ability like that!

Even though it couldn't even be compared to 20% of the true ability, it was enough to be ranked among one of the strongest on the Globe.

Lewin watched for some time and widened his eyes, retriving his phone from his pant's pocket.

Lewin had started the Globe early in the morning, and from then util now, he had spend 19 hours watching it, it was 2:00AM right now.

He really didn't expect to be here for so long.

Since vin died, he had spent 3 days crying util he swallowed her red pill and slept on that day, next he went searching for a house, and he had slept very little on that day because of overthinking in counter measures in case the Realted tried something on him.

Today he had to go sleep.

Lewin griped his phone and looked over the globe where the Dragon's trial was still taking place.

He sighed and got up from his chair, using some Soul Essence to change the Globe's time flow from 1s:6h to 1m:6h.

He walked to the door, turned off the lights, and went to sleep.

.......

The dragon reached the other side of the florest and looked around for somethings. After looking for some moments he looked at a direction and found some big rocks laying around.

It picked them up, piled them at the side, and started to destroy them, util a big pile of rocks debris remained.

It them climbed the pile, laid on it's side and closed it's eyes, snoring.

The dragon didn't really sleep, it just that out of boredom and because it though was a great idea to watch the trial participant's while having it's eyes closed.

While it, in the florest, the humans were all very tired of the harsh climb, so when night fell, they all found some place to sleep.

And on the next morning, the day started with a betrayal.

On the day before, 2 people had reached the top of the mountain together, the two were a bald an chubby old man and tall man with leather armor, and just when the 2 started to move on the morning, they found a beast, and the old man pushed the tall man towards the beast and ran away. the old man escaped with life, but the tall man, was brutally attacked by the beast, and then eaten.

For the Green haired man that was also wearing a leather armor, he woke up to life on the next morning with a lively surprise, he had been caught and wrapped up with web by a giant spider creature and was ready to be eaten alive there, but thankfully, he found a stick laying on the ground and used his feet to pick it up, threw it to his hands, and just when the spider was about to eat him, he put the stick on the spider's gaping mouth, making it unnable to close it.

Making use of it's confusion, the green haired man, grabbed one of the spider's sharp legs and freed his right arm, just in time to the spider to recover from the shock and pull the leg back.

The man used his free hand and removed the rest of the web from his body.

After gettinh free, the spider tried to flee from the man, but unfortunatelly was chased by him.

The man chased the spider for 2 hours util he finally was able to kill it with a rock at it's head.

As for the blonde woman, before the morning had even come, she was awake and advanced through the woods. She had her guard up and was very cautious, every time she though she had heard something coming, she would hide and be ready her sharpened stone up, ready to fight. When there wasn't anything she just left her hidding place and continued walking, but when there was a monster, she would sneak up to it and kill it without leaving any time for the beast to understand what happened.

And just like that, a day had passed, and finally, a person reached the end of the florest.

The one that reached the end was the Chubby old man, the one that had betraied the tall man before.

When he reached the end, he saw the dragon laying on it's side with it's head being supported by it's giant hand with closed eyes and snoring.

The old man reached the end and started to yell with happiness, he was to one side to the other and in circles, celebrating that he had made it.

The dragon at this scandal faked being woken up.

It oppened one if it's eyes and looked at the puny little human that dared to wake it up with it's scandalous celebration.

"Huh? What's it?" It said menancingly

The old man at noticing what it had apparently done, dropped on it's knees and started begging for it's life.

The dragon sighed 'How has such an old creature was able to reach this far? So this is the power of Greed huh? Terrifying' It though.

Just then the dragon felt 2 presences of beasts running towards the old man, trying to attack it after hearing it's begging of the old man.

The dragon got up fron it's bed, and at the moment the beasts jumped at the old man, it used it's tail to kill both the beasts in a single swift movement.

The movement was so fast, the the old man just noticed it because of the blood that splettered all over his back and the ground around him.

After dealing with the beasts, the dragon looked at the old man and said.

"You're the first one to reach this part, i congratulate you." It said as he retrived a piece of gold from it's back and gave to the old man.

The oldman happily ran to the piece of gold and picked it up, he jumped and screamed with happiness, like that was the happies day of his life.

The dragon looked at the human vibrating with joy and started to think.

It had tested their skilled hands, has tested their versatility, but now he was wondering what else it could experiment with them.

The dragon placed a hand on it's chin and looked at the old human.

'It has a frail body, a weak psyque, and even though he was able to pass my 2 experiments, it clearly wasn't enough for this kind of creature to survive.... Then how?' The dragon though, and as it pondered, it recalled the scene of this little chubby little man betraying his conrade. 'Normal weak creatures, when in group, tend to have a great team work, because if they're alone, their chance of survival will drastically fall. So for this kind of creature to be able to so eazily betrail it's friends, there are 2 options; 1st; their kind should have great resistence or good tase, soo good that no predator would stop eating the flesh, buying enough time for them to run, but that wasn't a really realistic option for them, because if so, their stamina and speed had to be tremendous, and their body had to be far larger so to buy enough time for their conrades to run, but it wasn't thruth, because in the cave i had killed one of them that had a very thin body, and many of them also had thin bodies, and some of the ones that died on the climb, died of lack of stamina' The dragon though.

'And 2nd, they should have enough numbers and intelect, so that they could strategically sacrify some of the stupidier ones and run, hide, or even try to fight back.' At that moment The dragon started to think, and though that this alternative was most likely the right. But the issue was: "Does these naked monkeis even have the capability to reproduce that much?"

The dragon then looked at the old man and wondered what it would do.

It wanted to test it out now, but it wasn't the right time to do it just yet, andthere were some other experiments it wanted to do.

The dragon put it's hands on it's back and spoke.

"Do you wish to continue?" The dragon asked.

The old man who was admiring the gold piece that was on his hands, when he heard the dragon's words he was kind of hesitant, but just like the green haired man had done on the last trial, his eyes trailed to the yellow shining rock on his hand and the hesitation that appeared on the old man's hearth disappeared, he looked at the dragon and answered.

"Yes i do!" He energetically answered.

The dragon nodded at the human's response. The dragon then looked around for another rock and picked it up, it placed the rock on an open space, the dragon then used it's sharp claw and cut out the top of the rock, making it flat.

"Climb it" The dragon demanded.

the old man walked to the dragon and did as he said.

When the old man climbed to the top of the rock the dragon then breathed deeply.

It did that for some moments, and then, it breathed out fire.

The dragon breathed fire and pointed it at the surroundings of the rock where the oldman was.

The fire was so strong and hot, the in question of seconds the ground around the rock started to melt, becoming lava, and by consequece, heating the rock where the old man was.

"Your next objective is to survive in this rock for 5 hours, good luck." The dragon smirked for a last time as it walked back to it's bed and laid on its side while hearing the desperate screams of the old man.

This experiment right now was to test their resistence, how are they goin to deal with that?
