Standing in the center of the arena, Gauss and the others suddenly felt the whole environment change.
A beam of light shot down from above, illuminating the center of the stage.
From the high surrounding stands, the shadowy silhouettes of tall insect men appeared, and waves of cheers roared from all directions.
It felt as if their three-person team had traversed countless years and crossed into an era before the ancient kingdom fell, participating in a beast trial watched by all.
Standing in the arena, the images of those insect men became even clearer.
Gauss frowned slightly.
He felt... everything was too realistic.
In a daze, he looked at his own body, as if seeing spotless, white joints.
"Gauss... Gauss!"
Only when Aaliyah's shout reached his ears did Gauss come back to his senses.
"Prepare for battle!"
Aaliyah said.
"Okay." Gauss shook his head.
What was happening to him? He inexplicably spaced out again just before the battle.
