Chapter 886 The First Trial
—–I heard the soothing voice of a woman out of nowhere. Of course, it couldn’t be anybody else than the Frost Queen herself, or well, maybe an Ego of her, or a Will, or a piece of her soul… Could it actually be her entire soul? Maybe…
”Are you the Frost Queen?” I asked out loud. Nobody had heard her except me.
”I suppose you could call me by such a name…” She sighed.
”Are you in this tower? Is it true that you’ve been waiting for me?” I wondered.
”Indeed…” She replied.
”I have a question, why did you added the icon of a Vampire in the entrance, when it is said you exterminated them?” I asked boldly.
This was one of the things that made me the most curious from all of them. I knew I could ask her more things, but seeing how she’s a Venerable, I am sure she would avoid the question somehow.
”Why? That’s something you will have to find by yourself… I won’t answer more questions for now. But bringing all the races has opened the path towards the true inheritance. Now, it all depends in your courage and the bonds you share with your allies. Although the trials have become less, they had also become more challenging, good luck.”
And like that, she stopped answering my call.
”Erm, Drake?” Benladann asked confused.
”She spoke to me through telepathy. I asked her something I had in my mind for a while, but she only said I could find out after we finish the trials… However, she revealed to me that the true path towards the real inheritance had opened because I’ve brought all the races depicted in the gates… Wait, but who’s he Majin?” I wondered, crossing my arms.
Everyone looked at one another, nobody was rally a Majin here… except someone that might be somewhat related to demons, and that was Miranda.
”Me?!” Asked Miranda. “W-Well, if I am counted or not it doesn’t matter, we should move forward anyways!”
”You’re right.” I said with a nod.
We quickly began to inspect our surroundings, finding an enormous hall made of crystal ice. There are enormous pillars and in front of us, a large gate showing “1-3”.
”Wait, are all trials only 3 and this is the first?” Wondered Rakasha. “But weren’t they like ten or something?”
”Yeah…” Charlotte replied. “This is indeed quite odd. It has never happened before. Maybe that all of us gathered here really made things different.
”As I said, she said that the trials were reduced to the minimum, but became way more challenging…” I said.
”I see…” Benladann said. “For now let’s just step in together.”
”Yeah, wait a bit though. Ice Dragon Divine Blessing.”
FLASH!
I quickly waved my hands, as I unleashed a bright blue light over the body of everybody, enhancing their Stats through the roof. The bright sparkles even emanated the power of my divinity for a bit.
”W-What did you conjured this time?” Asked Yuki.
”Oooh! I feel stronger…” Hector said. “Is this the power of your godly powers, Lord Drake?”
”Indeed, it should be.” Said Kraxka. “His equipment alone enhanced our magic and physical power so much already… There’s no doubt this will do the same.”
”Incredible… it feels like I am born anew…” Larzak sighed.
”Yeah, this is a Buff Spell I came out with some time ago. It uses my Divine Power and my connection with all of you through the Dragon Marks.” I said. “With this, you’ll total power should be multiplied by at least fifty times. You’re about to face challenges that are near my level of power now, so you need as much strength as possible.”
”Heh, with this, we can do anything.” Eleanora said with a confident smile.
”Let’s go then…” I said, leading the entire party inside the first trial.
”Wow, this room is gigantic!” Yuki said.
When we entered the room, the door behind us closed immediately. The gigantic room was several hundreds of meters big, and gigantic pillars erected across the vast hall. There was a door in the other side of the room, but it was sealed.
And at each side of these two doors, there were two enormous black tunnels opening to somewhere else. In front of us, an enormous, blue-colored orb rested above a pillar of ice.
”T-This is the Tower Defense one, right?!” Asked Miranda, quickly growing anxious.
Seconds after her words came out, we felt an enormous tremor.
TRUMM…!
TRUMM…!
TRUMM…!
No, they were not actually tremors, as they were constant.
”This is… steps.” Rose said while her red eyes flashed with bright light.
We saw through the two enormous tunnels at each side of the closed door at the end of the room, as an enormous army of monsters emerged. They resembled enormously burly men, their skin was gray, and the smallest one was two meters and a half. They all wore armor made of ice and silver materials, and emanated enormously strong auras… they were dozens- no, hundreds!
Their ugly appearances, wild and mindless faces, and their enormous bodies with their gray skin gave it away who they were, a race of monsters that were called “the corrupted giants” by some. They are called Ogres, and these ones weren’t the normal ones, their gray skin covering their bodies with stones and ores growing over their shoulders, arms, and bodies… these guys were the most terrific ones that had gone extinct, supossedly, several thousand years ago.
”These are Stone Ogres… Giant Stone Ogres!” I said in surprise.
”Shit… We got to protect the orb! If they manage to break it, we’ll lose and be expelled, and there’s a big cooldown before we can challenge the trials again too!” Charlotte said.
”Alright!” Benladann said. “Honey, you’ll stay behind protect the orb and you’ll support us from there!”
”What?! I am a dragon! I can fight better and defend better…!” I roared.
”But if you stay in the front and somebody sneaks behind, who can stop them in time?” Asked Benladann.
”No is no, I am joining with you guys… The Slimes are there for the job!” I said, summoning a hundred red, blue, and green slimes that emerged from my body, carrying divine power with them.
