It took roughly one hour for the duo to reach the small valley that the parchment indicated but the journey had gone smoothly.
Sophie could now hear the familiar roar of the water crashing into the deep pool below.
The pair moved stealthy towards the clearing, but Sophie was shocked at the scene before her eyes.
Several teams of students were battling the triple headed snake with fearsome attacks and abilities.
It appeared that the parchment was in several more crates than Sophie had anticipated as there was well over one hundred students battling the monster while countless others watched from the forest.
A silent majority was content to see others be exposed to the dangers of battling the monster while they hung back and tried to fish for benefits.
Three students tried to launch sneak attacks at Astrid and Sophie from the shadows but a series of blaster shots to their chests caused them to be instantly eliminated.
