Swoosh!!
"Argh!!"
The pained and unwilling wail of the dissipating enigma echoed in Cedric's ears, causing him to raise a brow.
"They're starting to turn more and more real."
Smoke dissipated from his fingertips as he continued his way up the first mountain. The shadowy enigma just now should be the last one he should deal with before coming to whatever's waiting for him at the first mountaintop. But even if there's still one more, it won't be a big deal; Cedric will handle it all the same as the last ones anyway.
During his hike, he paid attention to the shapes and behaviors of the shadowy enigmas he met. He guessed that these things should've been residues of the challengers who either found this mountain hike very threatening to their lives or straight up failed.
