Chapter 81 - Black Metal Warriors
Two days later...
The group continued heading forward, they encountered more beasts on the way, only they were not as strong as the horned snake they had faced previously. They had also encountered more people throughout the journey, but they focused on the task ahead of them without getting involved with anyone.This essence is securely nested within the heart of Nøv€lß¡n★
...
"Look"
Klaus pointed towards their right with his mouth wide agape.
When the others stared in the direction, they couldn't help but suck in a cold breath. An Azure Palace could be seen, floating midair.
"How's that even possible?"
Reynolds asked in a dumbfounded manner.
The others couldn't answer since they were just as shocked as he was. Looking closer, they noticed there were already about eight people who were gathered outside the palace. They walked in the direction and soon got close to it.
They hadn't seen these people before so they knew they were most likely from another empire, but it didn't stop them from approaching the palace though, they only increased their guards against the new people.
On getting close, they all saw steps that led to the huge golden door of the palace. There were about forty steps in total which were all at least forty inches in length. The group who were gathered there all looked at the new group who were making their way towards the palace.
"What do you think is inside the palace?"
"Well, we won't know until we enter"
A youth gathered courage and took the first step on the steps. The moment he placed his foot on the step, he suddenly paused, his body shook a little before he took the second step. On seeing one person take the first step, another person also went forward, and then a third. But something strange happened when the fourth person placed his foot on the steps, he was suddenly sent flying.
"What happened?"
Someone suddenly asked with surprise. Nothing like this happened when the others all took the first step. The other youth who was about to step forward immediately stopped on his tracks, an unknown fear suddenly gripped him. He looked in the direction of the youth who was sent flying.
"Could it be some sort of test?"
Grey stared at the steps trying to comprehend what just happened.
The youth who was sent flying stood up from where he landed with a shocked gaze, he still didn't understand why he seemed to be rejected. Seeing the youth was fine, the fifth person summoned up the courage placed his foot on the step. His body shook a little, but after that, he was okay. He heaved a sigh of relief before he?ascended the step like the others who had also climbed up the steps.
'Seems like it's a test. If one can't withstand the pressure, then one would be rejected'.
A voice suddenly rang out in the palace,
"Trial: Metal Warriors, Objective: Survival, Time: Four hours"
The voice suddenly disappeared after this.
"What was that?"
A boy spoke out with a tinge of panic.
"Sounds like we're in some sort of trial palace"
"What are these metal warriors the voice spoke of?"
"I have no idea"
The youth wasn't the only one panicking, some others also had panicked expressions.
Dang! Dang! Dang!
From the dimly lit side of the palace, a soul-shaking sound appeared. At the same time, a strong aura spread forth.
"What is it?"
Everyone turned towards the side of the palace, but could only see five blurry figures slowly walking out of the dark place.
They all looked puzzled, but the metallic footsteps behind them became closer and closer. The aura from it also pressured most of them, with only Alice and another youth being the ones who didn't feel pressured in any way.
Dang! Dang!
In the darkness, five black metallic warriors three meters tall appeared, they all had a pair of green eyes that were opened. There was also a pair of dark green wings on the black metal warrior 's back which had a two-meter span.
"What is that thing?"
The hearts of everyone trembled.
"Oh my God!"
Klaus's mouth was agape. He wasn't the only one though, almost everyone else stood stunned.
"The monsters auras all seem to be in the peak of the Ninth stage"
Alice said after sensing the exact strength of the monsters.
The hearts of everyone tightened, including Grey. Among the group who entered the palace, only Alice and one other youth were in the Ninth stage, the rest all ranged within the Sixth and Eighth stage with Klaus being the only one at the Sixth stage.
