'Hmm?'
Azriel opened his eyes and frowned.
'What happened to the Third Step?'
He questioned inwardly.
He then looked around and found himself in a completely different place that looked like a inside of a cave.
Azriel then noticed that he was not wearing any clothes.
Yes, even his little brother was out in the open.
'Wait…'
Suddenly, Azriel realized something.
This was not his little brother.
Azriel frowned, however, suddenly, his body moved on its own and he walked out of the Cave.
There, he saw a completely different scenery.
Huge 10 meters tall trees, different types of plants and flowers that Azriel had never seen before, fresh air and…
The Sun…
Although Azriel's body didn't feel anything much under the sun, it still felt a little comfortable, however, Azriel's body ignored this feeling and continued to walk.
Then, Azriel's eyes fell on a river, his body walked over and then, Azriel finally saw his face.
Black hair, Blood red eyes, his face was similar to his real face, however, it looked a little mature.
Azriel's head moved and then, he started drinking the water from the river, then, his body rushed back inside the cave and lay down.
Seeing all this, Azriel frowned.
He tried to move his hands, however, he noticed that he didn't have any control over his own body. He could only move his eyes, nothing else.
'Is this another illusion?'
Azriel frowned.
He looked around and then, his eyes fell on a random stone.
"…"
Azriel waited for a few minutes, however, nothing happened.
Seeing this, Azriel frowned.
He had wished that the Stone would burst apart, if it was an illusion, something like that would have happened by now.
Just like how he killed everyone in his previous illusion.
However, since nothing happened, Azriel could conclude that this wasn't an illusion.
It was too real to be an illusion.
The previous illusion worked to trap Azriel because everything about it was taken from Azriel's brain, there is no way he would be able to differentiate between reality and illusion if whatever happens in the illusion happens according to how he thought it would happen.
And this is not just positive things, but negative things as well.
That was the reason why Azriel failed to differentiate the reality and illusion in the previous Trial.
However, this place was something Azriel had never seen before.
There was no way something like this could be taken out of his head.
Azriel then continued to lay there and once the sun set, Azriel's body moved.
He left the cave, moved a little more, crossed the river, climbed a 15-meter-long tree and then, Azriel's eyes widened in surprise when his eyes fell on a 10-meter large gorilla walking around.
If it was up to Azriel, he would have ignored the Gorilla, however, a deep instinctive feeling told him that he can defeat this beast.
His body moved on its own and it dashed towards the gorilla at a speed that was much faster than Azriel's normal speed.
Soon, he appeared in front of the Gorilla, then, he punched its eye.
"Raaawwrrrrrrr!!"
The gorilla cried in anger as his eye burst apart, however, Azriel wasn't done yet.
He attacked its another eye and once the Beast was blind, Azriel moved around his at insane speed and finally killed the Gorilla.
*Thud* *Thud* *Thud*
Then, Azriel heard a sound, he turned his head in that direction and there, he saw around ten more gorillas rushing towards him.
His instincts warned him of the danger.
He might be able to take on 1 however, 10 was a no-go.
Azriel's body moved, he picked up that large gorilla and started running around.
No, he did not move back to his cave right now, he continued to run around and once he was sure that those Gorillas weren't following him anymore, Azriel went back to his cave.
Azriel also noticed another thing, the Gorrila's blood wasn't falling on the ground, and neither was it attracting any other beasts.
Azriel then realized that unconsciously, he has been using [Blood Control] for a while and he was using it in an even better than before.
He somehow blocked the scent of the Blood as well.
A very convenient hunting tool.
After returning to his cave, Azriel threw away the gorilla.
And again, another instinctive feeling attacked his mind, Azriel rasied his hand and all the blood in the Gorilla's body started floating in the air.
Then, a smile appeared on Azriel's face and he opened his mouth.
The blood entered his mouth and Azriel's eyes widened in surprise.
Delicious!
It was simply delicious!
Within a few minutes, Azriel devoured all that blood and then,
"Haahh…" He sighed in contentment.
Azriel's eyes then fell on the Gorilla's shrivelled-up body.
'It would be good if I used that skin to cover my penis'
Azriel thought inwardly and tried to walk towards that dead body, however, his body didn't move.
He sighed in defeat and gave up on that idea.
However, for some reason, his body then started walking towards the dead body and suddenly, Azriel's nails elongated and he started cutting the Beast's skin.
Then, he covered his penis with that skin.
However, Azriel knew that his body didn't move due to his wish, it moved because it saw that hanging rod as a weakness.
A weakness his enemies could use against him.
Therefore, he covered that weakness.
Then, Azriel walked into that cave and closed his eyes.
The only thing Azriel could do was to look around with his eyes, however, even that right was now taken away from him since his eyes were closed.
…
Azriel then opened his eyes the next day, the sun was about to set, so Azriel was waiting and once the son was gone, Azriel moved out again.
This time, however, he couldn't find any targets.
Most of the Beasts were living in packs.
There is no way he could go against them.
Azriel could feel it, those beasts were strong, a lot stronger than any beasts Azriel has encountered in Yrniel.
Fighting them alone might be possible, however, fighting a pack was not.
Azriel's body moved again and he changed his hunting location.
However, even after that, he found nothing.
Azriel then changed another location and again, all beasts were moving in packs.
No, actually, there was one beast that was alone.
'What the fuck is that…?'
A 30-meter huge beast that looked like a wolf, however, he had a big horn on its head and it released a ferocious aura.
It moved alone.
However, Azriel's instincts screamed danger when he looked at that beast.
He had to avoid it.
Even fighting a pack was better than going against that beast.
Azriel stayed where he was, frozen.
His body didn't move an inch.
A feeling attacked Azriel's mind.
Fear.
Yes, Azriel was afraid.
Afraid of that beast, he didn't move an inch because he didn't want to get marked by that horrifying creature.
*Thud* *Thud* *Thud*
His method worked, the huge wolf-like beast walked away.
After the Beast left, Azriel sighed, however, his body started trembling.
Another emotion assaulted his mind,
Anger.
Angry at himself for acting like that, and angry at that wolf for…
For existing.
He didn't like that beast one bit.
Azriel narrowed his eyes.
Then, his body moved on its own and he changed his hunting location again.
But again, he did not find any beast that he could hunt.
This continued for a while and finally, 6 hours later, he found a beast he could hunt.
Azriel's body moved and he killed the beast that looked like Elephant.
Then, he brought back the beast's body and drank its blood.
Azriel then walked into his cave and slept.
The next day, or night, he moved out of his cave and hunted another beast.
He continued this repetitive schedule for days, the days then turned into weeks and then months.
…
Just like that, 4 months passed by.
Right now, Azriel was looking for another Beast to hunt, however, it seemed that today was one of those unlucky days where he doesn't get to eat anything.
The sun was about to come out, so he needs to go.
Of course, the sun wasn't really a problem and doesn't weaken him, however, he would rather not eat anything for a day than to hunt under the sun.
He had one hour, Azriel then changed his hunting location and then, his eyes fell on something.
A 10-meter huge beast with scales all over its body was walking around.
Azriel's eyes widened in surprise when he realized what that beast was.
'A Dragon…'
His body moved and then, he dashed towards that Dragon, using the same tactic, he tried to punch its eyes,
However, the Dragon reacted quickly and then, it released flames from its mouth.
Azriel formed a Blood Shield out of thin air and defended himself.
Then, he landed on the ground and glared at the Beast in front of him.
This beast was as strong as he was, no, his instincts were telling him that he was stronger, although it was only by a little, he was still stronger.
It would be a hard battle, however, he can win this.
Normally, Azriel would avoid this type of battle, however, for some reason, he wanted to fight against this beast.
A crazed smile appeared on Azriel's face, he was about to attack the beast again, however,
"ROOAAARRR!!"
The beast roared and then,
*Thud* *Thud* *Thud*
Another, similar beast dashed towards him and now,
Two dragons surrounded Azriel.
