As a surge of power coursed through his veins, Adam relished in the exhilaration of his newfound strength. The sensation of gaining power within his race surpassed even the satisfaction of leveling up from his class, as every aspect of his being seemed to elevate.
With heightened clarity of mind and sharpened senses, the pungent stench of the goblins assaulted Adam's nostrils, mingling with the metallic tang of their blood. Undeterred, he pressed forward, determined to face the subsequent trial without hesitation.
Approaching the entrance, which bore the same characteristics as the ones he had previously traversed, Adam found himself in a short cave passageway that led to a vast chamber resembling a colossal fighting pit. The round-shaped cave spanned an impressive 20,000 square meters, its sandy floor scattered with anticipation.
Surprisingly well-lit, the cave revealed a prominent gate positioned at the far end, likely the threshold requiring all the key fragments for passage. Just then, a new system message flashed before Adam's eyes, announcing the nature of the next trial.

[Would you like to initiate the first fight?]
With unwavering determination, Adam confirmed the commencement of the first fight, his heart pounding in his chest. Suddenly, the cave opening behind him swiftly closed, leaving him feeling trapped and momentarily stunned. However, the reverberating sound of a metal gate opening snapped him back to attention. His gaze shifted towards the chamber's far end, where a colossal figure emerged. It was a black panther, standing an imposing 3 to 4 meters tall, exuding an aura of primal power. Adam's eyes locked onto the creature's razor-sharp claws and its lithe, muscular body covered in a menacing black coat adorned with thorns. The panther's piercing yellow eyes bore into his soul, an unmistakable sign that this battle would be far from easy.
[?????? - Level 12]
As the towering black panther approached, Adam braced himself for the impending battle. The towering black panther lunged forward with lightning speed, and Adam's eyes widened in surprise. The panther's initial burst of movement caught him off guard, but instinct kicked in just in time. With a swift motion, he raised his blade, intercepting the panther's razor-sharp claws, sparks flying as steel clashed against deadly claws.
The force of the impact sent tremors through Adam's arms, pushing him back several steps. He strained to maintain his footing, desperately resisting the panther's relentless assault. However, the panther's sheer strength overwhelmed him, and he was forced to roll away to avoid a lethal strike.
"You're faster than I anticipated," Adam muttered under his breath, acknowledging the panther's speed. He assessed the situation, analyzing the panther's movements, searching for an opening to strike back.
However, The panther's relentless assault continued its claws, a blur of deadly precision. Adam found himself on the defensive, desperately parrying the panther's lightning-fast strikes. The sheer force behind each swipe sent shockwaves of pain coursing through his body.
A searing pain shot through Adam's left arm as the panther's claws grazed his flesh, leaving deep, bleeding gashes in their wake. Blood mingled with sweat, staining his clothes and dripping onto the sand-covered ground. He gritted his teeth, fighting through the agony, refusing to let it dampen his resolve.
With every clash, the panther's power and ferocity became more apparent. Each swipe of its claws left deep furrows in the earth, as if the very ground itself trembled beneath its might. Adam knew he had to rely on his agility and cunning to survive this deadly encounter.
Ducking and weaving, Adam narrowly avoided a devastating pounce from the panther. He backpedaled, desperately trying to distance himself from the relentless predator. The air displaced by its movements brushed against his skin, a chilling reminder of the panther's deadly speed.
The panther's eyes glinted with a mixture of hunger and primal fury. It lunged once more, its claws aimed for Adam's chest. Instinct took over as he twisted his body, narrowly evading a potentially fatal blow. The panther's claws raked across his side, leaving a trail of burning pain in their wake.
Gritting his teeth against the torment, Adam retaliated with a swift counterattack. His blade arced through the air, aiming for the panther's vulnerable flank. But the panther's agility proved too great, and it effortlessly evaded his strike, retaliating with a punishing swipe of its own.
Adam's vision blurred momentarily as the panther's claws scored across his cheek, drawing fresh blood. The pain was excruciating, and he staggered back, his body aching and battered. But even amid his injuries, a primal rage stirred within him, fueling his determination to emerge victorious.
"You think you can break me?" Adam hissed, his voice laced with defiance and pain. He refused to allow his injuries to define him, instead harnessing the surging power within his bloodline. He met the panther's onslaught head-on with renewed resolve, his movements a symphony of fluidity and precision.
The battle raged on, the clash of steel against claws echoing through the cavernous chamber. Adam's injuries continued to mount, each wound a testament to the panther's lethal prowess. But with every strike he landed, he chipped away at the panther's defenses.
With every injury Adam received, another would close as his body regenerated, fueled by the power of his bloodline. The pain he endured only fueled his fury, igniting a primal strength within him.
As the panther's attacks rained down upon him, he could feel his muscles surging with newfound power, each new injury adding to his resolve and resilience.
In a daring move, the panther lunged forward, its fangs bared, and claws extended. Adam's instincts kicked in, his body reacting with lightning speed. He dropped to the ground, rolling beneath the panther's onslaught. With a swift and calculated motion, he struck upward, his blade finding its mark and disemboweling the panther from below.
As the life drained from the panther's body, it collapsed upon Adam, pinning him beneath its weight. But Adam was not one to be crushed so easily. With a surge of strength amplified by his bloodline, he summoned the last reserves of his power. He lifted the panther's lifeless form with a primal roar and pushed it away, casting it aside like a discarded plaything.
Breathing heavily and covered in the panther's blood, Adam emerged from the encounter battered but triumphant. His body pulsed with the energy of his bloodline, his wounds healing rapidly. He stood amidst the carnage, a testament to his resilience and the untapped power he possessed.
The chamber fell silent, the echoes of the battle fading into the dungeon's depths.
