What is the mechanic behind the bridges? Why does the red bridge collapse only after certain monsters are killed? What is that eye at the entrance… the one that puts up a barrier to limit how many cadets can challenge a red bridge monster at a time? And why do the cadets even need that red bridge energy just to cross the blue bridge back to the empires?
To begin with, why do these bridges even exist in the first place? Why do the cadets from the empire and the residents of this realm have to go through all of this?
This and many other questions ran through Cedric's mind as he watched the many screens in front of him. Then, while he was still processing the data flickering before his eyes, he saw the last party finally kill their red bridge monster, after which the red dot representing it suddenly vanished. In the next instant, a violent explosion suddenly erupted from the bridge's core, signaling its collapse.
