The beasts were not just big. They weren't just massive. They were the size of a giant. Standing around fifty feet tall. Looking at them, one wouldn't clearly call them a beasts.
They didn't look alive, they just looked like a humanoid stature. But there entire face had one eye which was big that it was almost the size of the face itself. The eye was pink in colour. It has two hands. Two legs like a human. It is ash in colour and it looks like it was carved from stone. The eye of the beasts is pink in colour.
"How do you expect me to fight these guys." Miller said to Xentor.
"In real life you would be facing challenges and you would have to learn it from here." Xentor said. "If you are able to survive for sometime, we would move to the next ability. Your Energy Manipulation."
"But..." Miller wasn't able to complete his sentence.
"Start!" Xentor shouted at the top of his voice.
Immediately Xentor shouted those words. The entire sandy area turned to an arena. The desert had changed itself. Miller was now in an arena with the three beasts.
Looking at his left and right, he could see aliens surrounding the arena and cheering them. It was like the other aliens were alive. Miller knew they were just all in his mind controlled by Xentor.
The crowd reminded Miller of the Mevorotrians Contest. Xentor was sitting at some kind of advanced technological chair. The chair was hovering around the arena.
"The match with the shadowy boy..." Xentor said with a loud voice, and his words echoed throughout the arena as the aliens cheered. The reason why he stopped was because of the way Miller looked at him. It was clear Miller didn't like the name. But he didn't actually care.
"The match with the shadowy boy vs. The three rock beasts starts now." Xentor said.
"Are you all reaaady!" Xentor shouted.
The entire aliens surrounded the arena who were sitting on their black seats instantly got up and started cheering the contestants.
'For an imagination. Everything feels so real.' Miller thought.
"Let the match begin." Xentor said as some bells around the walls of the arena ran indicating the match had Started.
In an instant, the three gigantic beasts started moving towards Miller. One of the three beast eye started to glow more Pinker and then...
WHOOSH-BEAM!
A gigantic energy left his eye and headed towards Miller. Due to Miller's speed, he was able to easily dodge it. The attack hit the ground of the arena.
BANG!
The floor of the arena got damaged instantly. A huge dent could be seen there. In an instant, the dent repaired itself and it was brand new like it was never hit in the first place.
Miller dashed toward the one that was in the middle, the one who had attacked him first.
WHOOSH-BEAM!
Another sent out a beam of energy towards Miller. Miller twisted his body to the other direction dodging the attack.
WHOOSH-BEAM!
The third beast did thesame thing and didn't anticipate it and it hit him right in the chest.
BANG!
His body crushed to the floor.
"Ah!" He screamed in pain. Looking at his chest, you wouldn't even know there was a chest in their. As a huge hole could be seen from the other side. The attack passed through his chest and due to its force his body hit the floor.
This was just in the Construct Forge so Miller wouldn't die, but that doesn't mean he wouldn't feel the enormous pain. In an instant his chest repaired itself. But he was still feeling the pain.
Unlike in real life, if Miller healed, the pain would automatically disappear, but in this Construct Forge, the pain was still present.
WHOOSH-BEAM!
WHOOSH-BEAM!
WHOOSH-BEAM!
The attacks from the three at once. Putting at his Stats points into his Speed. He was able to dodge the first two, but as for the third one although it didn't hit him. It had almost hit him close to his legs and due to the force it sent him flying and he hit the other end of the arena.
"Rocky Beasts!"
"Rocky Beasts!"
"Rocky Beasts!"
The alien crowd cheered their names.
"Use your shadow, you fool." Xentor said to Miller.
Miller was on the floor holding his chest in pain. But he couldn't do that any longer.
WHOOSH-BEAM!
Putting all his stats points into his speed again, he was able to dodge the attack.
WHOOSH-BEAM!
WHOOSH-BEAM!
More attacks came and with more focus, he was able to dodge all of them. But he felt like he couldn't keep up with this much longer. He has to end them soon. He wasn't tired, but the pain he felt, he didn't like it.
"If it was in the real World, you would have been dead by now." Xentor said. He knew exactly what Miller was thinking.
BANG!
One energy beam hit Miller's back causing him to crash to the arena floor. He didn't anticipate the attack. Standing up, his entire body had healed instantly.
Miller was no longer safe. He was now surrounded by the Three Beasts.
"Finish Him!"
"Finish Him!"
"Finish Him!"
The alien crowd continued encouraging the beasts to attack Miller.
WHOOSH!
The Energy beams that were living their eyes at thesame time heading towards Miller had stopped instantly mid-air. Miller first of all thought that maybe he was seeing things too fast. But looking at all the aliens, they were all frozen in place. It was like time had stopped itself.
The only person that could move was Xentor and Miller. Xentor flew with his chairs to Miller's level and said:
"All this are imaginations. Even I am an image created by the System and granted a seperate consciousness."
"Miller, if you want to stand a chance against them. Use your shadow." He concluded.
Xentor hovered back to his place and then the time resumed again and everything moved just as fast. Nothing was longer frozen and the beams continued heading toward Miller at a fast rate.
[Temporal Stagnation]
In an instant Miller's own shadow covered his entire body instantly...
