Chapter 528 Tundra...
Everyone had arrived and seated. This included the guests. however, lenny was still nowhere to be found.
Victor was indeed worried about this. But not so worried that it would affect his state of mind and make him panic. After all, this Victor was not like the former one.
This one had more composure. And even though his fighter was not available, it did not matter. if he had to, victor was going to go through the challenge alone.
The Alpha Selection Tournament was divided into stages. The first stage was that of the bond and qualification.
the second stage was this one. This particular stage involved both Fighter and Participant to go through adversities together, while the Fighter protected the Participant.
This was a kind of bonding process for the two of them using danger as the glue.
Those that made it to the end under a very specified time would move on to the next stage which was the battle stage.
Riff looked to his side. Lenny was not around. Then again, it was not that it bothered him. it was just out of curiosity to see what the Half born that had destroyed an entire demon town was capable of doing, even though he was much weaker.
Then again, those with Power always knew that a man's capability was never in just battle but his ability to be resourceful and make his environment work for him.
Lenny was not around but that did not mean that there were no other capable people.
Riff turned his head a little to the other side.
There she was. The person with full black clothes to cover the head all the way to the ground.
There was even a mask to cover the face. By this fighter's side was a young girl not up to the age of ten who was her participant.
Normally, any that was at such a young age did not participate in this event. They all gave up their right to become Alpha.
However, this young girl did not. instead, she held the hand of this mysterious fighter even tighter. Of course, this Fighter was none other than Morgana.
The only other person to have touched the crystal apart from Lenny that Riff had recognized to be very capable.
He did not know who this person was, but his instincts told him to be very careful.
Of course, there were others also releasing their aura to the environment and some others that the fans cheered on like they did Curtin.
Riff could not help but smile. His battle spirit was ignited, and it made his skin appear redder.
He looked up to the VIP section that his elder sister, Agnes was sitting in, and he nodded in her direction.
Although he could not see Agnes, he could tell that she nodded back at him.
Such was their tight bond with one another.
Elder zod stepped forward and then he waved his hands.
The signal was given and the ground opened up, much like the stage at a concert.
A large Ring the size of meters meters in both length and height was revealed.
This particular ring was gold in color and under the bright morning sun, it instantly, captured the attention of everybody in the Arena.
On the Ring where Runes that decorated the the edges, making the ring all the more auspicious.
The elders all stood from their seat. Making cuts on their hands, they slammed it on their tables.
Instantly, the Portal shone with a pink light.
Elder Zod stepped before the ring.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, this is a portal to the sub plane called Tundra."
The moment that the name of the Sub plane was mentioned, those who knew of it all gasped in shock.
Even Sam, Victor's Aunty could not help but frown her brows.
The poor man who had been forced to bet all his money on Victor paused in his tears and turned to the man by his side, "What is Tundra?"
The other man shook his head, "My friend, that is the cursed land. it is a subplane like no other."
As he explained, those around who were not aware of the plane all listened attentively.
Tundra was a subplane that had an atmosphere that was about 400 degrees Celsius.
And that was just the atmosphere of the plane. it was as hot as lava from some volcanoes.
But that was not all, the plane itself was made almost entirely of water.
Naturally, it was expected that such a plane with a hot atmosphere would not have its lithosphere made of water. After all, the heat should evaporate the water.
However, it was at this point that the miracle of nature raised its ugly head.
The gravity of the sub plane was so strong and so pulling to its center that the water on its surface had become Ice.
This meant that the water on the sub plane did not freeze over as a result of cold but of the gravitational pull to the core of the planet.
Such strong gravity would instantly kill anyone who stepped foot in it. It would instantly crush the person to meatpaste.
And that was if the atmosphere did not barbecue you.
It was a very unique sub plane.? Ice for land and practically fire for air.
It did not have any fauna or flora. Nothing could live or survive on its terrible surface.
After all, it did not have the conditions for supporting life. They were going to go through this place.
many in the audience could not help but shiver at the thought.
However, Elder zod still had something to say.
"The sub plane has been laced with a finite number of golden flags carrying the Insignia of the pack. bring them back under the said time, going through the portal at the other side that leads into yet another sub plane before coming back here."
Elder Zod gave a menacing smile. Obviously, he did not want to mention the subplane by the other side.
However, he still did. "The other subplane is..."
