Chapter [340] Onwards, To The Tower Of Trials!
Months pa.s.sed, and the end of the Year was approaching.
The students of the Top 10 academies were busy preparing for the Academic Convergence which would take place in the Capitol, the capital city of Humanity.
It was an event where the top 10 academies qualifying students would gather for a tournament of sorts. Multiple "games" would be held and the winners would earn prizes.
Furthermore, the Prestige of Academies would also rise. Shield, The Number 1 had been on a winning streak since the establishment of the Academic Convergence.
Eden, The rank number 2, and Hero Academy, the rank number 3, always had fierce compet.i.tion whilst Shield would dominate the matches.
It was an event hosted by the Strongest Human Family, Just above the Soubuelle and Wellington family, The Drakmor family.
A family that had the blood of dragons supposedly flowing in their veins. Although some Individual members of the Soubuelle and Wellington families were stronger, Like Harrison Soubuelle and Hugo Wellington, the Military might of the Drakmor family was powerful. They were at the center of the World government. They had also built the Capitol, so they were famous indeed.
They had constructed the Academic convergence in order to recruit talents into their own family and also to establish better relations with other families provided they had the chance to do so.
The Capitol could be said to be the heart of humanity, the headquarters of Behemoth, t.i.tan, and the World Government were present there so it was literally Impenetrable. All sieges on this lone city by the demons had failed miserably. Although a Duke-level demon had not appeared like in j.a.pan, the residents were still confident that their Bastion would not fall.
But most importantly…
At the core of the Capitol stood the tower of trials, which pierced the heavens themselves with its spire. This edifice was not just a marvel of Architecture…But a gift was sent from above.
It was a mysterious object that appeared in the capital long ago. It was dubbed the Tower of Trials…because it consisted of well…Trials.
100 trials and Humanity was stuck on trial 30. The tower of trials was unique because it adjusted the difficulty of the trials according to the challenger. It would never give an impossible trial.
Just an extremely, extremely hard one. Humanity"s best had challenged it, but still could not triumph on floor 30, the Trial of Honour. It was one of the most spectacular events of the Academic Convergence where Students would try to climb the treacherous tower of Trials, most didn"t even pa.s.s floor 10. The 10th floor was the standard to pa.s.s the Tower of Trials event.
The people were excited, for they would Witness another great Academic convergence. How could they not be?
Shield"s first years this time were absolute Monsters, It was their chance to see spatial magic as well. See the Student that repelled a Marquis, and was the youngest C-Rank in History, furthermore, the students alongside him in the top 10 were also Monsters.
Hero Academy and Eden were not far behind, even though they had outstanding students waiting to challenge Shield.
Ah, here they come.
The top 10 academy students had come, For the convergence.
Let it Begin!
*************
[a.s.sociation Headquarters, In Askolt city.]
"Sigh…it"s so hot."
Sighed Serena, dressed in as little clothing as possible in order to withstand the heat of this Environment.
"What is he even Doing?"
She asked as she made her way through the dungeon filled with magma and fire.
She was using water magic to cool herself down, and her bikini had a special enchantment on it as well…but even that was not enough for this heat.
"...There he is…"
She said, a smile formed on her face as she gazed at Elijah, standing over a mountain of corpses of Monsters.
"s.e.xy as always."
She commented. Elijah wasn"t Human currently.
He was a fire Draconian. Serena always got turned on whenever she saw that magnificent form of his…How should she describe it?
It was a form of Myth And Majesty…it brought utter delight to her. It was the very embodiment of hot, Fiery, and Mighty! With scales that shimmer like molten gold, that majestic form of his radiated an aura of intense heat that danced in the air around it. Its appearance is both awe-inspiring and terrifying, a sight that commands reverence and caution. Serena absolutely loved it.
Standing tall on powerful, sinewy legs, Elijah"s fire-draconian form is a harmonious blend of elegance and power. Its wings, expansive and leathery, are adorned with patterns resembling the tongues of flames, each flutter causing sparks to cascade like stars trailing in its wake!
The head is crowned with magnificent, curved horns that resemble the horns of rams, adding to its regal appearance. His eyes, burning with an intense inner fire, hold intelligence and depth that hint at ancient knowledge and a connection to the very heart of the inferno. Long, sharp teeth jut from its maw, a reminder of its fearsome nature and its ability to unleash destruction.
The Draconians tail is a magnificent appendage, a serpentine extension of its body that ends in a fiery lash. This tail serves not only as a weapon but also as a symbol of its affinity for the flame. As it moves, the tail"s undulating motion leaves a trail of scorching footprints, searing the earth beneath it. Serena was having…"odd" thoughts as she stared At Elijah"s body.. That Tail can definitely be used for something.
"Oh…How I want him to f*ck me in that form…"
As usual, she was having crazy thoughts…
Elijah let out a breath of molten lava that shattered the Dungeon Core. Serena let out an odd shriek.
"Kya~"
She…definitely did not take her medicine today.
"..?!"
Elijah finally noticed her…and although he questioned her choice of clothing he just went with it. Serena always surprised him with something…new every time.
He was used to her craziness now.
He flew downwards and caught her.
"What are you doing here? I told you not to come here because it"s dangerous."
He scolded, But Serena didn"t give a d.a.m.n.
"I missed you~"
She automatically a.s.sumed the Princess carry position and shrieked.
"Kya~ So romantic Elijah~"
"...???"
Elijah was confused. Very confused.
"...Did she not take her medicine today?
[Supreme dragon of Fire Agri laughs and says fire dragons just have that eccentric charm. We always make women go in heat.]
"You be quiet."
Elijah hurriedly flew to the dungeon entrance and escaped.
He had spent far too much time training in that dungeon. He hadn"t seen the outside world in too long. He had been testing His Draconian form for a while.
"Cool."
Elijah left the dungeon just before it collapsed, he entered the a.s.sociation training room he had been given and put Serena down.
"Academic convergence…is it soon?"
He asked her. Trying his best not to look at her. Serena was also provoking him by doing some…Erotic poses one could say.
But Elijah was a kind man! He would not be taken over by something as trivial as this.
"Tch, you"re no fun."
Serena clicked her tongue.
"Yes, that"s why I came to get you."
She answered, Elijah nodded and said.
"We should get ready then…"
He undid his transformation and stretched a little.
"Kya~"
…?
He looked strangely at Serena, wondering what was the problem now…Only then did he realize he was b.u.t.t-naked? His built body was exposed to the already crazy girl.
[Supreme Dragon of Fire Agri laughs his a.s.s off.]
"..."
"So manly~"
*************
[Terra d.a.m.num.]
"Oi, You b.a.s.t.a.r.d, stop staring at the sky and get ready."
Lucas yelled, staring at Alan who was sitting on a corpse of demons. Not demonic monsters…but demons.
These past couple of months, along with training like h.e.l.l the trio also decided to raid some bases or strongholds of the demons.
Safe to say, they were busy.
"Alan, We are gonna be late."
Alexander said. All three of them were shirtless, their built bodies were covered in scars.
Alan stared at the black clouds and thought…
"It was short."
His hair had grown larger and the scars on his muscular body were proof that his training was extremely intense. Those scars did not lie.
His white hair was now covered in dirt and had lost its original splendor, Lucas and Alexander were also in a similar state. His face was scarred by the pain of his training.
All three of them had gotten incredibly strong.
"What about master?"
Alan asked as he jumped out of the mountain of corpses, the Ame-no-Sakahoko in his hand.
"Master, Sir Oliver, and Olivia left already, wait you teleported them out how the f.u.c.k did you forget?!"
Alexander was flabbergasted. Alan himself made the portal but the b.a.s.t.a.r.d forgot.
"Make a portal to our Shield Dorms first, The students shouldn"t have left right now, Even if they have gone we can just go by Shield"s transport."
Lucas informed me. If Alan had gone to the Capitol they wouldn"t need to do this, but Alan hadn"t.
"Oh. Well…"
Alan showed a mischievous smile and said.
"See You all at the Capitol then."
"WAIT YOU, b.a.s.t.a.r.d!"
It was too late, Alan had already teleported away…leaving Alexander and Lucas Behind.
"..."
"..."
Now those two had to make it there by themselves.
