Chereads / Magic Knight Revival / Chapter 2 - The First Trial

Chapter 2 - The First Trial

As Lucas enters the ruins, notices that he is walking through a tunnel.

Tunnel was filled with darkness, there was no sign of any living thing and there was an eerie feeling that was making Lucas nervous.

Lucas talking to himself.

" What is going on here? 

Ronald said that I will find myself at the location of the first trial the moment I enter the ruins."

As Lucas was immersed in deep thought, something suddenly attacked him and Lucas was sent flying and hit the wall.

He jumped back on his feet and took the defensive stance.

He was shocked that he was hit without even being able to sense the enemy.

The unknown enemy that Lucas was facing was completely hidden in the dark and was able to perfectly camouflage his presence.

As Lucas was thinking what to do in this situation, he was hit again but this time he was able to minimize the impact as he was expecting an attack.

He was aware that if he didn't do something about the attacker, he would die for sure.

As he was trying to pinpoint the enemy's location, something Ronald said came to his mind.

"The biggest baggage one carries is his vision, when lost no matter how strong one is, before the darkness he is nothing more than prey. "

Lucas upon thinking back on what Ronald said he came to the conclusion that he can't rely on his vision. Lucas was thinking about what to do then he remembered that he can find the attacker by sensing the changes in the position of magicules present in the atmosphere  when the attacker moves towards him to attack. He took the defensive stance again and tried to focus again but he was hit again.

(Ronald outside the ruins)

"Boy these trials will test your abilities, your senses and your will. If you fail even one part of the trial you will be lost forever never to see the light again."

(Back to Lucas in ruins)

Lucas was in a bad state.

Lucas:-

"dammit this is getting nowhere"

Lucas in anger started to focus on sensing mana again.

He stood at one place waiting for an unknown enemy to attack.

The moment he was hit he swung his sword with all his might the moment he was hit, the one who was continuously attacking Lucas was hit, Lucas without wasting a single breath charged his sword with the mana available in surrounding and attacked the enemy before he could hide in the shadow again. 

When Lucas attacked with his sword fully charged. All the mana condensed within the sword released and obliterated the entire area.

After Lucas's attack all the darkness which surrounded the tunnel disappeared.

Lucas started walking again and after walking a while he found a monolith which stated that one who has cleared the first trial and has earned the right to further climb the tower.

As Lucas read the message inscribed on the monolith, he was shocked.

He asked himself if this ruin is actually a tower then who built it and for what purpose.

" TO WARRIOR WHO HAVE CLEARED THE TRIAL OF AJNA(THIRD EYE) THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING AND YOUR LAST CHANCE TO TURN BACK, IF YOU DECIDE TO MOVE FORWARD THEN BE PREPARE TO FACE EVEN THE GOD, AS IT IS THE DESTINY OF THE YODH TO REBEL AGAINST THE DIVINITY "

[ajna chakra or third eye is related to lucidity and intuition]

The last line engraved on the monolith made Lucas question the entire purpose of the ruins and the reason for their creation.

Few minutes later the door to the next room opened.

Lucas decided to move forward as there was no going back for him.

When he entered the next room he found a scroll in that room.

Thinking that the scroll was related to the next trial Lucas opened it 

The scroll contained the method of unlocking and controlling the ajna chakra.

And at the bottom of the scroll it was written that the door to the next trial can only be opened using the energy of Ajna chakra.
