Chapter 881 Cap 879: A Wild City
Pov Shiro’s (True Dragon King of Light):
“Thanks for coming.” (Andreia)
“Where is it!?” (I)
“It’s in a safe place, I did it for you…” (Andreia)
“You have a few minutes to return what you took, I am not a believer of your God and much less a servant, I agreed to the covenant with certain terms that will be broken today if necessary!!” (Shiro)
I and the True Dragons of Light under my command came to the Church of Light since my betrayal would be revealed in a short time after what I did, I couldn’t let all those who followed me die and I moved forward with our plans.
I even agreed with my comrades to use our power to move the secondary Dungeon Gates, but I didn’t think that when I returned I would find that the Executioner of Light had taken the Spear that Pierces the Sun, one of the greatest treasures of my tribe.
“This weapon could be of vital importance…” (Andreia)
“Don’t try to reason with me, I’m here to retrieve the Spear, so hand it over!” (I)
My Aura and hers collide in mid-air as this Celestina changes expression to anger, she must have thought that she could treat me just like she does her other subordinates.
“The Spear will be handed over to the Hero of Light just like in the past.” (Andreia)
“No! The Spear belongs to us, it always has, even if you take it it won’t be useful to someone so unworthy.” (I)
“Do not force me to break an alliance that was just forged, Executioner of Light.” (I)
“You wouldn’t dare, your life would be in danger without our protection.” (Andreia)
I spread my wings as I start to prepare for combat, the floor around me as well as the walls of the room starting to crack from the pressure I’m putting out.
“You may be strong enough to be evenly matched in power with me, but our combat would kill everyone in this location while everything goes to ruins, I think you understand the kind of attention that would bring about this.” (I)
“Why waste that square weapon, even more so in times like these?” (Andreia)
“It’s my decision, now give it back!” (I)
She looks at me with mock anger, she knew what my reaction would be, she tries to put herself in a place of dominance with this action, a fool to think something like this would work.
She snapped her fingers and one of the cupboards in the room opened, a bright light flashed as the Spear that Pierces the Sun returned to my hand automatically.
I take the Spear and leave not caring what this woman is going to say now, just by holding the Spear I realized that today an attempt to take control of her, but failed.
It seems like she’s giving me back so easily because her Hero wasn’t able to take the power of the Spear that Pierces the Sun for himself.

Pov Zenos:
I was in the center of the city, what was in the center of the city was not a square, statue, garden or water fountain. π«ππΈπποΌπ¬πΈπ
What there was was a grand Coliseum made of bones of various colors and shapes, there were blocks of gray bone forming the great walls, ornaments made of crystallized blood of various colors form crystal paintings depicting epic combats.
This Coliseum by far emits the most savage and brutal presence I’ve felt so far to the point where my senses focus on it completely, almost as if it were a living monster.
Also, I could smell blood, blood of so many different types making it impossible to differentiate, it was so clear to my nose the odor of blood that I couldn’t smell almost any other scent in the surroundings.
“This is the Coliseum of Bones, the first building in this city and the heart of this whole place.” (Natasha)
I look around as we follow my sister around the Coliseum, the streets of this city were made of Rock, the shops we passed were borders of wood, stone, marble or bone.
Everything was emitting faint traces of lingering presence showing that they are parts of monsters, normally we don’t even notice these faint lingering presences in the same way that we don’t notice the air we breathe, but this city has such a large amount of these residual presences that it’s impossible not to notice, it even becomes overwhelming for my Aura.
The best explanation would be like walking into a perfume store where all the products are uncovered, creating a mixture of odors that offend anyone’s senses.
I look around the people are all wearing combat clothes or some kind of armor, they all also look like Adventurers by the way they dress.
As I walked through the city I was constantly trying to block out this overwhelming presence, this presence didn’t even have any will, it was just there, but it was like gravity pressing me down to the ground.
“How many people live in this town?” (I)
As we walked around the Coliseum I noticed the great movement of people, they were of all races, but there were almost no children, also the number of people was very large.
“There are more than 100,000 people, this is an ancient city, it is also a training point for all fighters on the continent.” (Margareth)
“Are there any hotels here?” (I)
“Yes, many and staying in these hotels is something only visitors do.” (Margareth)
I look around and I don’t see any hotels, there are only street food stalls, shops around the Colosseum and further ahead I can see a large building that I imagine to be a Guild.
After tens of minutes we arrive in front of the entrance to the Colosseum where a large flow of people is coming in and out without stopping.
I look at the Colosseum and see people with smiling faces, others with frustrated faces and some with clothes in tatters while having bloodstains.
I wanted to try to hear what people were saying, but there were so many voices that it was information overload for my mind.
The entrance to the Coliseum was a large door over 5 meters high, we were guided inside where there was a large hall decorated with statues of various types of people in combat position.
There was a big board full of names in some sort of ranking with shapes and numbers next to the names, this big crystal board looked like a big screen changing the positions of the lowest numbers as if it was updating the ranking.
“I think we made it in time.” (Margareth)
“At what time?” (I)
