Dick is a little disappointed because there is no reward for killing these sea rats.
It seems that the trial has been completed and teammates have been teleported directly.
"You completed the trial so quickly?" Valkyrie asked.
"It's okay. It's not too fast. It just took a while to kill the thousands of water rats. Those little guys are very cruel. If you were to conduct the trial this time, you might have been bitten by them."
"Water rat? Why didn't I see it?" Valkyrie asked in confusion.
"Right behind me."
Dick turned around and pointed behind him, and found that there was no body of the water rat on the ground, nor any traces of blood, not even traces of the Signs he had released.
"It seems that the battle is over and all traces of the battle have been cleaned up." Dick murmured, "But it doesn't matter, after all, we passed the first level."
"That should be the case, but you just killed the water rat without using other methods?"
"Other methods, you mean?"
"According to my speculation, if you are not discovered by the water rats in the maze, you will still be able to pass the trial if they do not follow you after you exit the maze."
"Then this would be too difficult, unless I can become invisible."
"We offer sacrifices to the method of invisibility that many people know. Naturally, I can also do it. However, if you pass the level with bravery, it is also considered a success, but the method is different."
"Really try to make sense, Valkyrie."
The two were talking when suddenly the scene flashed before their eyes, and they came to the entrance of the palace again. At this time, the middle of the three passages had been sealed by flowing runes.
Dick knows that next, you can only enter the left and right channels to accept the test.
Valkyrie was the first to speak, "I will be the one to do the second trial. You are not allowed to take it anymore."
Seeing the serious look on Valkyrie's face, Dick could only raise his hands in a surrender gesture.
"As you command!"
After a while, the two entered an open space again. The scene in front of them was the same as the first trial. There was a stone with a dagger placed on the altar.
Then a mysterious message was transmitted into Dick's mind at the same time:
"Welcome, brave fishman warrior.
"The second level is called Trial of Faith. If you want to become a trialist, you need to put your own blood in a stone bowl to activate the trial formation.
"The content of the trial is to enter the darkness ahead that blocks all light, and find the true path by relying on your faith in Sea God.
"If you feel that your faith is not firm, it is recommended to stop the trial, because as long as you choose the wrong path, there is only death waiting for you."
Dick just opened his eyes and found that Valkyrie also opened his eyes almost at the same time as himself.
Valkyrie had already walked quickly to the altar, picked up the dagger in the bowl, and slashed her arm hard. Blue blood suddenly flowed out of her slender arm.
Why does she look like she's afraid of robbing her?
Dick complained secretly and stood still.
Valkyrie's blood was quickly absorbed by the stone bowl, and a closed stone building instantly appeared in front of it.
She walked to the building, opened the door gently, and then quickly walked into the room.
The stone door to the room quickly closed.
To his surprise, it was pitch dark inside, and even his own peephole could not see clearly anything in the room.
I hope Valkyrie's faith is strong, otherwise I really can't tell what will happen inside.
After a while, a ray of light flashed across Dick's body, and he was transported to a new space.
Dick looked at the bright and open Takahashi behind him and asked curiously, "Valkyrie, is this the trial scene you experienced?"
"Well, relying on the light of my faith in Sea God, I can look for the real path in the darkness and cannot be deceived by the false road ahead."
"False route? Explain?"
"It's like... there seems to be a bridge ahead, but it may be just an illusion. If you step on it, you will fall into Abyss. Only those who have firm faith in Sea God can find the real road."
"Then it seems that this trial is really suitable for you."
"That's the way it is." Valkyrie raised the snake's tail slightly when he was proud.
Only a moment later, the two were teleported to the front of the Sea God palace again.
All accesses on the left and middle are blocked, leaving only the passage on the right.
"This trial is up to me. After all, I am a fish-man. I am more worried about the future of the race and the safety of my mother than you are." Little Naga said again.
"But..."
"No buts, you have to listen to me now, Dick." Little Naga looked serious.
"Well, be careful in everything."
The two of them stepped into the passage together, but after a moment they came to an open space again, with the same furnishings as the previous two levels.
A mysterious message was transmitted into the minds of two people at the same time:
"Welcome to you for the last time, brave fishman warrior, congratulations on reaching the final level of the trial.
"The third level is called Trial of the Same Self. If you want to become a trialist, you need to put your own blood in a stone bowl to activate the trial formation.
"The content of the trial is to defeat your own phantom at the location ahead. As for whether to use your force or your wisdom, it is up to you."
Dick opened his eyes and found that Valkyrie was already standing in front of the altar.
The stone bowl suddenly split into twin shapes, and a winding snake tail and a relief of a human palm appeared on the edge of the bowl.
"Need the blood of symbiosis..."
Valkyrie understood instantly when he touched the relief. He first drew the dagger to Dick's arm, then cut his own wrist, allowing the two streams of blood to form a spiral in the separated stone bowl.
The runes flowed on the surface of the stone bowl, creating a shadow of the building. As the twin blood was completely absorbed, the solid stone building crashed to the ground.
The two nodded in tacit agreement, each holding down half of the stone door engraved with the ocean totem and exerting force at the same time.
As soon as you enter, the door behind you closes instantly, and there is a cave inside, which is extremely open.
"Why didn't I see the phantom of this trial?" Little Naga looked around in confusion. Except for the thick fog in the distance, it can be said that this place is completely flat.
"Then let's go ahead and give it a try, and be careful to stay vigilant."
"I know."
Then the two of them walked forward side by side.
Dick noticed that every time he took seven steps, the fog in front of him would recede into a circular area with a diameter of two meters, while the fog behind him was like a living creature eating away at the path they came from, leaving scarlet scarlet traces like spider webs on the ground.
At a certain moment, Dick's ears twitched slightly, and then he quickly threw Valkyrie next to him to the ground.
During this process, Valkyrie's scales shimmered, and a transparent water curtain instantly formed above the two people's heads, blocking all three arrows that followed.
"It's mirror magic!"
Dick flipped over, and before he could stand firmly, he shot Piercing Cold Shockwave in the direction of the arrow's source. The large fog was instantly blown away, revealing two mirror images that were exactly the same as Dick and Valkyrie - they were holding the same weapons as their main bodies, and their eyes glowed with a strange red light.
