**Special Trial Complete** The words echoed with the usual Realm X voice. Erwin was on his knees on the chamber floor with the altar's residual light and strong presence fading away. His hand was bleeding from where the Sanguine Noctis had detonated. His palm was crossed with thin slashes that ran from the base of his fingers to his wrist, and the blood that came out was black. For fleeting moments of silence, he stared at it. They all stared quietly. [HP: 3/150] 'I survived... barely.' Erwin sat back on his heels and tried to breathe properly and found that it took more effort than it should have. His ribs had taken Haemagogi's four-arm impact through the gravity barrier. They had not broken, but the damage it had done was impossible to ignore. Turning his gaze from his hands to look at the center of the chamber, Haemagogi was on the floor.
