Adam would only appear as being tortured by the bombardment of eight different Elementals as if he murdered their entire clan for someone who's an outsider.
I'm not saying that the outsider is right, but he's not wrong either.
Because Adam was twitching and displaying utter distress while remaining seated on the ground cross-legged.
Crackle~
The streaks of lightning running over the plates of armour was as visible as the frost and ice that had enveloped the individual. The water that was choking Adam's breath in vain was slowly turning hot, boiling the earthling alive.
But for some reason, the earthling's consciousness was clear and collected. That's because he couldn't feel a tinge of hostility from all these events.
Are they trying to kill me? I don't feel so. It's more like testing me.
Adam's only plausible assumption was that it was a test. The lack of response from Endevil also pointed at this possibility.
