Making his way to the altar, Rok Soo doesn't even raise his hand as he commanded.
"Break it."
A large stone spear slammed into the black altar.
Baaaaaang!
Dust filled the area along with the explosion.
The altar was destroyed.
There was no longer a place to put the jar.

"Why did he break it!?"
One of the family heads who's also the gatekeeper of the said temple pulled his hair out, wide-eyed at what their Hero-nim just did.
The thought that Rok Soo has already done this before and succeeded still did not help his anxiety.
+
Swoooooosh- Swooooooosh-
The wind was roaring wildly outside the temple, but Rok Soo did not know about it.
He just deactivated the silver shield that protected him from the debris before heading back toward the black altar.
{My top's whip!}
The thief's excited voice could be heard, which relived Rok Soo since at the very least she's still just as happy as she was regarding the matter.
The top whip was located at the center of the destroyed black altar.
'I just need to take this as well.'
The top's whip was glowing gold.
'A test of a person's character...'
That was the content of the test that the thief has prepared.
The thief started to speak again.
{Cale, The test will start as soon as you grab the top's whip, you remember that, right?}
He does. Which is why he grabbed the Jar first and secured it inside of his spatial bag just in case things happened and the others who might rescue him only focused on retrieving his body.
+
"Yikes"
Harol grimaced.
'That explanation is so brutal'
Even as someone who's familiar with blood and dead bodies, Harol couldn't help his distraught at the bad feeling he's sensing with such description displayed.
+
Once prepared, Rok Soo's hand touched the top's whip.
Paaaat!
A gold light covered Rok Soo's view. He still clenched onto the top's whip as that happened.
His world soon became dark.
He could hear the thief's emotionless voice at that moment. It was not the voice of the thief in his mind.
"The test will now begin."
The test is starting.
"The moment you fear the most will greet you."
Cale Henituse.
The moment he feared the most.
Rok Soo couldn't help but scowl.
The Sound of the Wind. The owner of that voice had lost her family, friends, and neighbors before becoming a thief.
