บท 1206: I'll take care of it

Lex turned around and saw a dog. It was nowhere near as skinny and mangy as the one he saw in the vision, but as an ordinary Golden core beast, in front of him it might as well be. The dog lunged at him… and broke its teeth trying to bite him.

Feeling a mix of shock, fear and anger,, the dog retreated and tried to claw at him, but it broke its nails instead.

Lex sighed, and feeling a hint of mercy, he put the miserable dog out of its misery before it could harm itself some more.

The vision returned, and Lex saw another scene. He wondered if that counted as him passing through the first level. Wasn't that way too easy? Then again, reaching the tower had been hard to begin with. Maybe reaching the tower already ensured that they had passed the level, but needed to motivate contestants to go through levels so they added the condition of passing through at least one floor or level.
