Elena soon found herself in the temple of the giants again. When she got the news that her trial was ready, Escora was with her. So she accompanied Elena to the temple. Old man Konan was already waiting for her and after seeing Elena, he respectfully invited her in.

In the last few days, Elena's fame had exploded among the people living in this depths of the Ikrovi Wasteland. The reason for that was her domineering victory over more than 10 demigods of the Diabolus race. Other than the giants and the dragon races living here, the Diabolus race was the strongest. Their powerhouses were also famous for being extremely powerful on their same power level.

So by defeating all of them easily, Elena had suddenly became a legend here. They had seen a lot of trial participants before, but Elena was the strongest among all of them. So obviously her fame had spread quite a bit after her display of strength.

...

After entering the temple, Konan brought her in front of super large scale magic circle. Around that magic circle, more old men were standing still and were supplying their mana to the magic circle.

Seeing that Elena was curious, Konan started to explain the function of the magic circle to her. Through this magic circle, Elena would be sent inside a dream realm. Actually her mind would be sent inside that realm.

That dream realm would be the area where her trials would take place. At the very beginning, all the challengers had to face similar types of trial in a special realm. For that reason, slowly but surely the knowledge about what kind of trial one had to face spread and the challengers started to plan various methods to complete the trials without much hardship. So the trials became too easy, which was undesirable for the guardians of the Gates of Valhalla.

That was why they came up with this idea of dream realm. Inside the dream realm, the elders were able to create various different and one of a kind trials without wasting any resources other than a little bit of their mental energy and mana. That was why this dream realm was extremely useful to give creative and unique trials to all the new participants.

After telling Elena about the magic circle, Konan started to tell her about what kind of trials they had prepared for her. The first trial that they were preparing had a modarate difficulty but after learning that Elena had managed to defeat all the demigods of the Diabolus race alone, they decided to make her trial more difficult. So the trial Elena was going to face would definitely be the hardest trial that the giants had conducted.

Elena had no problem with it. The harder the trial was, the more she would be able to enjoy it. So without wasting any time, she went and sat down at the centre of the large magic circle. Immediately the mana of the old men covered her and her mind was sent to the dream realm constructed by them.

In this trial Elena only had one objective to fulfill. Seven rings decorated with seven gems with the colour of the seven colours of the rainbow were hidden in this world. Elena needed to find them all within a time limit which was just two week.

After coming to the dream realm, Elena found that her body had been perfectly recreated by the magic circle. As for her stats, it was limited to what was displaying in her disguised status panel. So it looked like if she had completely hidden her status, the magjc circle would have failed.

Elena had no problem with the stats that she was given. As she was in an area where demigods were common, currently her level was at level 420. This power level should be more than strong enough to clear the trial.

After checking her body and stats, Elena finally started to observe her surroundings. Currently, she was in the middle of a forest covered in snow. And with her current senses, she was able to feel the presence of several wolves surrounding her from all sides.

These wolves were not weak. Each one of them were at the demigod realm. She could also sense the presence of the leader of this wolf pack who was above level 450.

It looked like taking care of this wolf pack would be her first task in this dream realm. So Elena took out two daggers and got ready to fight. This time she was planning to fight like an assassin. So even before the wolves could reach her, she immediately disappeared from her position and hid her presence.

This made the wolves extremely surprised. They had found a tasty presence and suddenly that presence disappeared. So they were not sure about what to do next. So all of them looked at their reliable leader for his next order.

But before the leader could say anything, Elena suddenly appeared behind him and pierced the back of his head with one of her dagger. Then she landed on the ground and immediately penetrated the throat of the wolf with another dagger.

Seeing their boss suddenly getting attacked, the wolves were enraged and tried to attack Elena. But as soon as she penetrated the wolf leader's throat with a dagger, she hid her presence again and disappeared.

The boss of the wolf fell down to the ground with a thud. Even though the wounds on his body were small, the dagger that Elena had used had poison on them. So instead of the wound, he died from poison.

Seeing that death of their leader, the wolves immediately started to sniff all the sides to find Elena's presence. Their powerful nose was their biggest weapon in finding out the presence of a hidden enemy.

But Elena was an expert in this game of deadly hide and seek. The method that the wolves were using was one of the most basic ones. So there was no way it would be useful in finding Elena. So while the wolves were busy sniffing around everywhere, Elena slowly and silently took the lives of all the wolves one by one.

After killing the last wolf, Elena started to search them. She had already checked with her senses but she wanted to make sure that these wolves did not have the ring. After searching thoroughly, she did not find any ring, which was something she had already expected.

After that, she used her senses to find the presence of any other living beings in this world. Soon she was able to feel that two powerful beings were fighting at the distance. Immediately Elena hid her presence again and went toward the location where the fighting was taking place.

That was how Elena's trial started.
