Inside the room, Amon continued to endure the tortures. His skin was mangled beyond recognition, only to recover in a flash and all of it repeated again.
His target was the ten hours that Lao Zen informed would grant the maximum of 2,000 points. With the maximum points, he was surely getting the first rank. Before, he didn't care about this rank. But it was different now after hearing about the private residence reward. He would need much space for his alchemical equipment, so it was better to aim for the largest residence.
Even if others also get the maximum 2,000 points in this trial, they still couldn't beat him, because he had the most scores in the first and second trials. Hence, he tolerated the pain and forced himself to stay inside the room.
The pains increased in intensity. It was as if a mob was beating and stabbing him to death. Only that he couldn't die. It was unending pain.
