Blood and Fire Trial Deep in the mysterious and remote valley, stands a grand and eerie temple, which is the core of the faith of Thoros, the "God of Blood and Fire". The walls of this temple are engraved with strange and twisted runes, exuding a palpitating breath, as if telling an ancient and cruel doctrine. Every midsummer night, when a blood moon hangs high in the sky, it is the time for believers to accept the "Blood and Fire Trial". This is a severe test of soul and faith. Only by passing the test can they prove their absolute loyalty to Thoros, otherwise they will face terrible consequences. Before the trial begins, believers need to gather in the square in front of the temple. They are dressed in black robes, and their eyes are shining with awe and determination. When the midnight bell rings twelve times, the huge stone door of the temple slowly opens, and a pungent smell of sulfur gushes out, accompanied by a low roar, as if it is a call from hell. The believers step into the temple one by one, and what greets them is a long, winding passage. There are burning braziers on both sides of the passage, and the flames are jumping and casting strange light and shadows. At the end of the passage is a huge circular arena, the ground is paved with black obsidian, exuding a cold luster. After entering the arena, believers will find that the stands around are full of shadowy figures. They are the high priests and mysterious guardians of the temple. These figures are quietly watching the field, and their eyes seem to penetrate the soul, making every believer feel invisible pressure. At this time, the ground of the arena suddenly cracked, and a group of hideous demons emerged from the ground. These demons are tall and exude a pungent and foul smell. They have sharp claws and fangs, and evil flames are burning in their eyes. They roared and rushed towards the believers, and a bloody fight started instantly. The believers must fight the demons with their own hands and the power of faith. They cannot use any weapons, but can only rely on their piety to God and their inner courage. Every confrontation with the demons is accompanied by blood splashing and painful cries. Some believers were scratched by the claws of the devil, and their blood stained their black robes red; some believers were thrown to the ground by the devil and endured the devil's bite. But none of them retreated, because they knew that retreating meant betrayal, and betrayal would bring disaster. In the fierce battle, some believers gradually showed extraordinary strength. There was a blazing flame in their eyes, and they were chanting, as if they were favored by God. Their hands emitted a dazzling light and repelled the approaching demons. These believers were regarded as the favorites of God, and their strength inspired other believers to continue fighting. However, the difficulty of the trial was far more than that. When the battle was halfway through, a huge iron chain was lowered from the ceiling of the arena, and a burning fireball was tied to the end of the chain. The fireballs fell like raindrops and hit the believers. The believers had to continue fighting the devil while dodging the fireballs. Many believers were hit by the fireballs and turned into ashes in an instant, but their screams did not scare other believers, but instead strengthened their determination to pass the trial. As time went on, there were fewer and fewer believers on the field. Those believers who persisted to the end were covered in wounds and blood, but their eyes revealed a kind of determination that transcended life and death. When the last demon was destroyed and only a few believers were left on the field, the ground of the arena cracked again, and a huge stone platform rose from it. On the stone platform was a long sword burning with blazing flames. This sword was called "Blood and Fire Judgment" and was a symbol of the god Thoros. Only believers who were truly loyal to God could pick up this sword without being burned by the flames. The surviving believers slowly walked towards the stone platform, their steps heavy and firm. Everyone knew that this was their last test. The first believer who reached out to hold the hilt of the sword was instantly engulfed by the flames. He let out a shrill scream and his body twisted and deformed in the fire. But he did not let go of the hilt until he finally turned into a ball of charcoal and fell to the ground. The second believer stepped forward and held the hilt of the sword. This time, the flames danced in his hand, but did not hurt him. With a relieved smile on his face, he raised his sword high to prove to the priests in the stands that he had passed the test. Other believers followed suit, some successfully grasped the sword, while others were ruthlessly eliminated by the flames. In the end, only a few believers successfully picked up the "Blood and Fire Judgment". They were regarded as the most loyal servants of God and would receive supreme glory and God's blessing. Those believers who failed to pass the test would be dragged out of the temple, devoured by demons amid the spit of the crowd, and become sacrifices of faith to warn those who come after that their loyalty to God is unquestionable. This "Blood and Fire Trial", with its cruelty and terror, is deeply imprinted in the hearts of every believer and becomes a witness to their oath of eternal loyalty to the god Soros.
