The squad soon arrived before the large silver crystal.
The crystal stood slightly more than Arlok's height, its smooth surface glowing with a soft silver light. Strange aura and dead language runes drifted beneath the surface, appearing and disappearing before anyone could make sense of them.
Arlok scratched his cheek and stepped closer. "So, now what? Do we just put our hand on this thing?" he asked, glancing toward Ruvian.
Ruvian gave a small nod. "Yes, both of you need to place your hand on the crystal and channel your mana into it," he said. "Since both of you have the [Conqueror] Nature Card, it's better to have the prototype register you as the ones starting the challenge."
"Alright," Yerin replied as she stepped forward.
Without any hesitation, she placed her palm against the cool crystal. Arlok followed right after her, pressing his large hand against the opposite side before both of them slowly began channeling their mana.
