I dig up whatever was buried. It is a piece of paper.

!

The paper lists almost everything that happened within Chael today. If so...was our defences and strategies leaked?

A smile slides onto my face. I predicted something like this but it doesn't matter if the enemy knows our plans. I have the scheme to take advantage of that fact.

"Lena, can you explain what happened here to Radz?"

"I-I can...you want me to bring those...people back?"

"They are dead don't worry, you can use teleport in the first place."

Lena looks away and nods. "Then what are you going to do?"

"I have something I need for tomorrow," I say.

"But it's...late?"

"I know."

I take out a vial of clear liquid from my coat which seems like normal water. I gulp the liquid before instinctive gagging. I cover my mouth and force myself to swallow.

"Bleh...so bitter..." I mumble with my tongue out.

Potion of Invigoration consumed.

The physical fatigue of the body dissipates.
-----------------------

I try moving my body around. Indeed, it felt like a good night's rest, albeit the same can't be said about my psychological lethargy.

"I will return by dawn, go! Show Radz the piece of paper we found." I say and run off into the woods, leaving Lena with the corpses.

Lena stares at the corpse and gulps. She swings her arm and a large magic circle appears below her and the bodies, turning them into nothing.

============================================================

By gathering mana in my eyes, I developed some sort of night vision. Wolves runs away in my presence thus nobody attacked me on my journey. Beyond me is a small rocky hole that can only fit one person. Looking back, I've travelled quite a distance from Chael.

I take a deep breath and squeeze myself into the hole.

*POP*

After my body gets through the hole, what awaits me is a neverending pit of darkness.

Entering The Trials of a Warrior

Tip: No pain no gain. Risk brings about better rewards at the expense of potential death. Exciting isn't it?
----------------------------------------------

*SPLASH!!*

I fall into a deep pool of water and quickly swim up.

"Hah...huff huff..." After getting a breath of air, I swim to shore and lie down, panting.

My gloves, coat, pants, shirt, and bag are all wet...damn it...

At least my potions are fine.

Beyond me is a small golden barrier illuminating the surrounding. It seems that I have entered some sort of underground cave. Looking back, the hole where I came from disappeared.
