It was only when the system notification popped up that John realized how much time had passed.
His eyes flickered as they landed on the trial task. Indeed, the final trial required the elimination of all players, meaning that to inherit the Crimson Demon's legacy, one must kill everyone!
Such trials were exceedingly rare, typically reserved for the selection of successors by malevolent deities.
The Crimson Demon was no benign entity, and its legacy could very well corrupt a person's mind.
This was precisely why John harbored little interest in the Crimson Demon's inheritance.
He sought power that he could wield, not power that wielded him.
As these thoughts crossed John's mind, a sudden "swoosh" sound pierced the air.
An arrow, glowing with a green luminescence and whistling through the air, shot out from an unseen corner.
John seemed caught off guard as the arrow struck him squarely in the chest.
