The 12th Floor to the 19th Floor was an intermediary area of the tower that separated the cumulative trials of the 10th and the 20th Floors.
Atlas' first impression as he moved through them wasn't the best.
They were easy trials, after all.
He finished the 12th Floor's trial without much effort, merely taking a few weeks to do it since it became harder to find beasts after a certain point.
The 13th Floor had a similar trial, but the environment was different. Rather than a forest, Atlas found himself in the ruins of what was once a great city.
The beasts he fought were not beasts either. On this floor, they were humanoid mutants that lacked any semblance of sentience.
They charged as a pack and used numbers to overcome their enemies. Naturally, their strategy didn't work on Atlas.
After he understood their strengths and weaknesses, it was easier than scamming a newbie Ascender to take them down.
