Administrator of Dungeon of Trials

[Congratulations, you have defeated the Sea Overlord, 'Medusa']

"It really was Medusa"

I thought in leisure, while falling from thousands of meters in the sky. 

The merged Leviathan was falling beside me. Its flesh was rotting and it was howling in anguish.

My clothes were torn to shreds and my body was full of wounds. But it wasn't painful at all. I had become accustomed to this kind of sensation for a long time now. It felt like an old friend that I didn't want to leave.

Closing my eyes, I waited to be teleported to the Reward Room. It should be happening soon.

But I got to see something surprising.

[Error! Error! The Strands have not been defeated.]

[Error! Error! The challenger has used an unknown way to defeat the Trial]

Before I could understand the meaning behind the messages, my body turned into dust.

"Uhh..."

A groan escaped my lips.

Clutching my head, I scanned my surroundings.
