When the Cloud of Metal Energy stopped descending on her, Shuri had reach the 2nd Stage of Noble Realm, making her the same level as Adia, Sela, and Sonet, while even Mashia did not breakthrough to become Two Marked Noble Beast.

Shuri continued walking the sole visible path, though the lack of any signs of the second trial make her question if the path in question is correct, or is there a hidden path of sort.
This time, there was a large hole in the path, with metal forming the wall.
"So, do I need to enter the hole?" she asked out loud, hoping to earn any confirmation from the mysterious voice, or The Voice as she call it.
Unfortunately, there was no answer, so, she was forced to think of possible way to pass the hole.
