The island belonging to Lisa Lisa was divided into a main island and a secondary island.
The living quarters, the castle, the Pillar of Hell, and other core facilities were all located on the main island.
The secondary island, meanwhile, was an artificial training ground built specifically for Ripple training.
It was probably a little past three in the morning now.
It was the hour before sunrise, when the night was at its deepest and darkest.
As Joseph's acting master during this period, as well as his opponent in the coming final trial, Loggins had already come here alone.
He stood steadily atop the tip of a long, pointed stone pillar, arms folded across his chest, eyes closed in meditation as he silently waited for Joseph to arrive.
The sea wind howled, and the world around him was utterly still.
But in the next second, the place, which had held only the sound of waves and night wind—
was suddenly torn apart by a piercing shriek.
Loggins's heart jolted violently.
An intense sense of danger rushed at him head-on, making every hair on his body stand on end.
The attacker's target was extremely precise—and vicious.
It was aimed straight at his lungs!
And the speed of the attack was unbelievably fast.
Like a venomous snake flicking out its tongue in the dark of night.

he would never have been able to react to such a lethal ambush.
But now—
thanks to the "Total Concentration: Constant" Joseph had shared with him, his body was filled with Ripple energy twenty-four hours a day.
Even with his eyes closed, Loggins still moved in that split second, relying on muscle memory and Ripple enhancement
