legacy Trial II

Alex stared at it.

"You're kidding me."

The guardian spoke calmly.

"Your opponent has been chosen."

Alex tightened his grip on his greatsword.

"What's its rank?"

The guardian looked at him.

"Rank 4."

Alex's face immediately changed.

"Rank 4?!"

He pointed at himself.

"I'm Rank 2!"

"I know."

"Then why the hell am I fighting a Rank 4?"

The guardian's expression remained unchanged.

"Because strength is not the only thing this trial measures."

Alex stared at the massive armored creature.

'I'm going to die.'

The thought immediately crossed his mind.

But then he remembered the Forest Sin.

He had already fought a Rank 3 monster despite being only Rank 2.

He had survived that battle by pure luck.

Now he was being asked to fight something even stronger.

Alex slowly smiled.

"Fine."

He lowered his greatsword.
