The Rewards of The Trial

Stark stood frozen, unable to believe what had just happened. The Mirror Master's words echoed in his mind: "At least... only one of you will escape this place."

Before him was Orasio's burning figure.

[Orasio HP: 0/4300]

He tried to move, to help Orasio, but there was no point: he was already dead.

All he could do was watch as Orasio's body was consumed by the dark flames, and soon enough ,his aura vanished, then his body turned to dust as the flames were extremely powerful.

"…" Stark looked at the remains of his companion's body with a blank expression, "I guess… sigh… anyways."

Orasio had indeed activated all his skills, but the sheer pressure of the flames were enough to shatter his barrier, and so without any back-up plan, thinking that his barrier would be enough, he was consumed by the flames and killed.
