Liam heaved a long sigh and emptied his lungs.
Then, he smiled.
Finally, the third Trial was over with.
But Liam wasn't angry it took so long to complete.
Nearly 5 and a half months in total, in fact.
Liam barely managed to cultivate and train with anything else during such a period.
But he was still happy.
Why?
He'd never felt such a strong connection to something before.
Apathy and indifference was a major part of his life.
All he ever cared about was himself and his dreams.
Even as Liam continued to grow in strength.
But now?
Liam cared for his sword, too.
As Liam reveled in the newfound feelings, Eternal Sword's voice rang out.
"The sword reflects the heart. On its own, it has no purpose. But whoever holds it gives it one."
Liam memorized the words.
At the same time, a marble dais with a rune on top of it emerged from the ground, along with a gate to the fourth Trial.
