The spirit of the tower transmitted every detail of the trial takers' actions to the rapt audience around the colossal structure, but all eyes were transfixed on the screens that broadcasted Evan's trial.
As the group of eight hideous wormfaces appeared on the screen, Vikhilk let out a sharp gasp, his astonishment palpable. "Don't tell me he's going to fight all of them," he exclaimed.
Just then, the scene of Evan summoning his magic sword played on the screen, and Ylva's voice rose in shock, "It looks like he is!"
A frostweaver in the crowd shook their head and declared, "He must be suicidal. There's no way a soul manifestation realm cultivator can stand against eight of them."
Meanwhile, Lirian was optimistic and had faith in Evan's plan. "Nah, I think this is going to be epic!" he exclaimed, eagerly anticipating how the battle would unfold.
...
Skree!
