Ram knew that if he didn't act fast, the cavemen would be wiped out, and Korrin's chances of getting a Territory Token would vanish along with them. He couldn't afford to lose his momentum now.
However, gathering this caveman also attracted unwanted attention and some resistance from both the Half-Drows and the newly appeared Bio-Mechanical soldiers.
Korrin had already barely managed to fend off several shattered Half Drows while killing some to gather their equipment, but it was clear that this was just the beginning.
But gathering the tribes and making Korrin as their only leader was the only option, he could think of to meet the conditions for obtaining the Territory Token as fast as possible.
There was no going back now, he already become an enemy of Half Drow's. He needed to act quickly before the balance of power shifted any further.
He gazed at the cavemen tribe from a distance, the memory of the Evil Spirit's words weighing heavily on his mind. "A blood ritual... a trial... could Korrin even survive it?"
There was no time for hesitation. As the gathered cavemen prepared for the blood ritual, Ram made his move, summoning Korrin from his duties outside. His plan was to evolve Korrin to meet the requirements of the trial, but this needed to be done in secret.
This time, Ram decided to send Yang Wei away. He couldn't afford to let others witness this part of his abilities.
It was one thing to let people believe that his talent was related to plant growth—something easily explained by his status as a spiritual planter—but if they discovered that he could improve the quality of other creatures, it would invite trouble. The last thing he needed was that kind of attention.
Not long after Yang Wei left, Korrin appeared, his presence commanding as always, but with a new air of authority.
Now wearing a luxurious mage robe and carrying a mage staff, Korrin looked every bit the leader he was meant to be. Nyra followed closely behind him, her sharp eyes darting around the room before standing quietly at Korrin's side.
Korrin was no longer the disheveled caveman Ram had first encountered. Now, he wore a luxurious mage robe, lined with symbols of fire runes. In his hands, he held a mage staff, glowing faintly with power.
As soon as he entered the room, he bowed and spoke with respect. "Master, as per your instructions, all the ritual requirements are nearly complete. We are waiting for your orders. All my subordinates have contributed their blood to the ritual altar."
Ram nodded. The first condition for the blood ritual was simple but crucial: Korrin needed the blood of his subordinates to form a bond between them, one that would extend into the trial space they would soon enter.
According to the Evil Spirit, the trial was always related to large-scale warfare, and Korrin's subordinates following into the trial space would be vital to his success.
"I've made sure everything is in place," Korrin continued, his voice steady but tinged with eagerness. "The blood has been used to draw the ritual runes as you instructed, and we await the start of the trial."
