But then he remembered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system had sent him here, the same system that had tested him, guided him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this was truly the final challenge, then there had to be a way to survive, even if it wasn't clear yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slapped both his cheeks, steadying his breath, grounding himself in the chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, ignoring the growing threat around him, Alex took a calm step forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then another. He didn't run. He didn't flinch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if daring the trial to fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Step! Step! Step!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another minute passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beams charged louder. Sparks flared. The energy surged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But none of them fired. They held still, as if waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex was only five hundred feet from the door now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He kept going.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Step! Step— FWISH! BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a ripple of black energy exploded in front of him, knocking him back with such force that he skidded along the floor, dragged by the pressure alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He landed on his feet, barely, breath short.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The GBlasters didn't move, but now, their mouths glowed darker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their beams turned pitch black, energy pulsing with a far more sinister aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pressure in the room doubled. No, tripled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Alex didn't waver.
