When the second painting was completed, everyone still inside it was teleported back to that fantastical corridor.
This time, they did not need to answer any questions, because it was not yet time to make a choice.
A countdown marker appeared on the ground before the three doors.
Two of those doors had already turned into paintings.
"...'Endless Mad Banquet' and 'Animal World'?"
Iver murmured under his breath, "Then what is the third painting like?"
He could clearly see that the points of light appearing on the third painting had not changed much. They were still increasing evenly, but after three rounds of choices, the first round had received a unanimous vote, while now there were only five votes.
This meant that two people had indeed lost the ability to vote.
...Was it because they had been petrified? After all, according to the allocation, there should also be a transcendent of the Path of Twilight inside the third painting.
He had the ability to petrify others. And in this Promotion Ritual, which encouraged death, being sealed was far more serious than dying.
He also had no idea how the Child of the Moon in the first painting was doing. Iver did not know whether she had ultimately been sealed inside the painting or in the corridor outside...
Iver remained there until the clock on the ground finished counting down. The points of light above the third door suddenly brightened, and new traces appeared.
Compared with before, there were two more points of light.
Had someone been released from their seal? Or had another person appeared?
If another person had appeared, then it should have been Princess. Iver had not seen her in the second painting, so she must have gone to the third painting to take part in the adventure.
