When Sam went to the third floor, there are no other people in the corridor. Only two rooms are occupied and that is it.

The rooms which are occupied are room fourth and fifth. Sam entered the first room and was greeted with the holographic screen.

"In this room you will be tested on you battle prowess against the puppet, one attempt would be considered complete if you are defeated or you defeat the puppet.

The rankings will be published by evaluating your prowess based on the number of attempts you took to finish the stage and the time you took to defeat the puppet."

After that, the screen vanished abruptly and Sam saw a wooden puppet around same height as him standing in front of him. The puppet is humanoid in figure it looked almost similar to the video game character Mokujin from Tekken.

There are no eyes, nose or any other facial features.

Sam looked at the puppet and threw a wind blade, the puppet dodged it and replied with the same wind blade. There are no hand signs and no chants, the puppet attacked in the same way Sam did.

Sam dodged it and responded with same attack as he made his way forward, his arm was covered in golden fire and punched the puppet squarely in the chest, but what he expected didn't happen, the puppet blocked the punch and countered him with another punch to Sam's surprise it is a punch similar to his.

Sam frowned at this sight. He didn't expect that the puppet to also possess a fire element ability and to his surprise even though it is not same golden flame, the fist almost identical and at least in terms of appearance.

It doesn't have an explosive ability that Sam used by compressing the fire, rather it is just a normal fist covered with fire.

Sam took a step back and thought whether the puppet is copying his elements or does it possess all the elements.

Sam didn't use any other elemental attack and rushed towards it, but the puppet started attacking with wind blades and fire balls. There is no other elemental attack.

Sam kept on dodging and when he was near the puppet, he took out the reaper and slashed it squarely without any other elements. It was pure raw power. But the sword didn't cut through, it chipped away a piece of wood indicating some damage, but the puppet can still fight.

At this moment, Sam was stunned. The puppet took out a wooden sword out of nowhere and before Sam could think further, it started attacking him with the sword and wind blade combination.

The sword rays started coming towards Sam with extremely sharp and wind elemental traces.

Sam dodged it by hair's breadth and looked at the puppet again.

For the next few minutes, the puppet was on complete offence with combination of wind, fire and sword.

Sam just defended as he observed the behaviour of the puppet. And after a long time he confirmed that the puppet is not copying his moves or techniques. It is more like a robot which was pre-programmed with certain set of elemental and battle techniques and they would only be triggered if the candidate uses a certain element or warrior skill.

Since, Sam used the wind blade, fire element and the sword. The puppet struck to them and used on these three aspects.

To test his theory, Sam took a hit and healed himself with the light element and to his surprise the puppet did the same and the chipped piece of wood back.

But the puppet's method is different from Sam's. Sam only concentrated the light within his wound, which the puppet used one arm to conjure light on the 'wound' to heal itself.

So, from what Sam could understand, the puppet has all kinds of elements pre-programmed within itself and they will only trigger if opponent uses those elemental skills.

Sam suddenly thought of something and triggered elemental fusion.
