Chapter 18 : The Last Winter III

Chapter 18: Chapter 18 : The Last Winter III"We've arrived," Daniel glanced ahead of them. They were almost there.

Within a few seconds, the group reached the base of the mountain. Daniel grabbed the wooden stick he had found while exploring the area around the cave. He stood up from the stone, holding it firmly.

The other two exchanged a glance and stood up as well. The fear was still evident in their eyes, but at this point, they had no choice but to follow Daniel if they wanted to survive.

Minutes passed as they walked in silence, an eerie stillness enveloping the space around them. Daniel scanned the surroundings as though

Before speaking, Daniel popped a mushroom into his mouth. Seeing that their mushrooms and potatoes were thoroughly cooked, Jamal and Victor removed them from the fire and began eating.

"So, your villages sacrifice important and well-regarded individuals? Is there a specific tradition for it?" Daniel asked, picking up a nearby fruit resembling a coconut and drinking its juice.

This fruit wasn't a coconut; it was called Bayanus. Its juice had the property of altering a person's body odor, making it a valuable tool for hunters. However, Jamal seemed unfamiliar with it; otherwise, he would have begged Daniel for some of its juice.

In their current situation, this fruit's juice was like a life-saving elixir.

"Well, haha, yes, that's correct. According to our village's ancient tradition, the sacrifice must be someone cherished by others," Victor quickly answered.

"Why is my head spinning? Huh?" Jamal suddenly frowned, stood up, and began vomiting violently.

Victor, alarmed, rushed to check on him, but then he, too, started coughing up blood.

"What's going on here?" They weren't fools. Their eyes turned to Daniel, who was calmly enjoying his meal with apparent satisfaction.

"Rest in peace, for this will be the last time you can sleep."

"You bastard!" Jamal growled and tried to attack him but collapsed to the ground, coughing blood before losing consciousness.

"How...?" Victor didn't resist. Blood dripped from his mouth as he fell unconscious, fear flickering in his eyes.

"It's time to begin" Daniel muttered as bloodlust gleamed in his eyes.

Between the trial of "Nightmare" and the trial of "Dream," there is one crucial difference.
