A dense tropical forest with palpable humidity.
The lush green trees and the wild air. Sounds of various water sources made their presence known in the background. This was the third phase of the testing ground. The last hurdle before the battlemage could claim all of his rewards.
There was an artificial sky that felt and produced light in the early morning. But there were no clouds, making it a monochrome blue.
This artificial forest was unusually quiet too. There were no sounds of birds or monsters. Eren's mana sense was compromised in the space, making it difficult for him to read the life signs around him.
Kino sent Eren immediately to the third phase of the testing ground. He had cleared the second stage with a 100 percent clearance rate. But he didn't want to leave because he was as prepared as he could be. Plus, he could cast his Hex spells. There was no reason to take a break and lose momentum anymore.
