บท 598: ????? Trial Part 6

As Mira took a step forward, she felt the looming danger intensify. She stopped for a second, then looked around, preparing for something to happen, but the threat she felt never came. 

Instead, the eerie calmness on the mountain intensified while the pressure on her body worsened. Every bone in her body popped, ready to break at a moment's notice due to all the stress it was under. Her heart and organs were working overtime to keep her alive and not turn into mush, but Mira knew that the time left before things got dangerous wasn't that long. 

So, she pushed aside the foreboding feeling, picked up her foot, and took another step.

That one step felt like it took the same energy as it might take for her to walk up an entire mountain. No, taking that one step was much more challenging than it was to climb up a mountain!
