If one were to look down from high above upon the entire Trial Land, they would see amongst the lush, dense forests, constant trembling motion as one castle after another rose sharply from the ground and coalesced in an instant.
Meanwhile, in the palace high above the center of the Trial Land, Array Masters from the academy were busily manipulating the changes within the Array hub.
Above the Trial Land below, the Array that enveloped it emitted a dazzling Soul Light, affecting the area above each castle, though its exact purpose was unknown.
"Conquer a castle and leave your breath's mark upon the central Soul Pillar to obtain one mark. Once a castle is taken, the mark will disappear."
"There will be various resources within the castle that can only be used within the Trial Land and cannot be taken out."
"The possession and strategic advantages of various castles will be evaluated differently and will yield additional marks."
"A large castle's Soul Pillar can give five marks."
