"The other subplane is a land of danger, unlike the Tundra. I am sure that many of you have heard about it before. It is filled with jaws and claws at every turn. Yes.... it is called Imperilment!"
"HUH!" the Crowd Gasped at the mention of the name of the subplane.
This was land bathed in so much blood that even the flowers had lost their natural beautiful scent tainted by the bloody aura in the air.
Besides, the sub-plane Imperilment was known to be a land of battle ruined by Angels and demons fighting for treasure neither side ever found.
It was general knowledge that any that went to this place never returned, or if at all they did, it was to return very scarred.
Elder Zod could see the reaction of the people and it made him gleeful. After all, the challenges one had to go through as Alpha were very challenging. It was only natural for the trial to hold the position to be hard.
"The Portal leading back to this world has been sent somewhere within Imperilment. You all will be given a tracker to easily find it and return back here. Those that do not make it will be left in either of the subplanes forever."
On Saying this, he waved his hand and a group of Werewolves in silver armor stepped forward. Each and every one of them was in their Werewolf form.
They had bronze armor in their hands that was distributed to the Participants and their fighters. As well as a compass. This was going to ensure that they followed the directions as earlier stated.
"These armors were made specifically for this event. They will lighten the load of gravity from the core of Tundra and can protect against one fatal attack that might otherwise take your life. I'll advise that you watch your steps very carefully." Elder Zod gave a light chuckle as he stepped to the side of the portal.
Immediately, the participants and the fighters all wore the armor as it was given.
Everyone got ready to rush into the Portal. This included Victor. Even though Lenny was not here, he was not going to forfeit. After what he had gone through in the House of Horrors at Bitter Street, he had become a far better man.
He was now braver, and stronger, and this was not just mentally but physically too.
When he heard that Lenny had gone to begin his training the week before, he too with the help of his aunty, Sam, also went into a subplane to train.
After all, he had finally bloomed into a full Werewolf.
It had been a short while, but his growth had been significant. His mutated werewolf bloodline allowed him to do things that even other Werewolves could not do.
Right now, he had already broken through to the second rank of the lesser demon rank.
Clearly, if he was given enough time to grow, he could do far more than this. However, time was not a factor that he had on his side.
like everyone else, he wore the armor. it was rather large for his frame, but the moment he had it on, a sharp light shone from the rines on the armor and it fitted to his size.
"Ready!" Zod screamed and the participants and fighters all took their positions ready for the portal.
The crowd was filled with cheer and excitement. many people screamed the names of those they were suspecting, and many dealers reset the odds for their bets.
Depending on the state of things during the tournament, many odds were definitely going to change.
This was going to be the match of a lifetime and that was literally as most people only ever met one Alpha in their lifetime.
The werewolves, after distributing the armor left the Arena floor.
They opened another box and bats were let loose. These bats immediately rushed into the portal. They were going to act as cameras that would transmit all that happened within Tundra and Imperilment to the audience.
As excitement filled the air, Elder Zod raised his hand to the sky.
Everyone watched, filled with anticipation. Many prayed for those that they supported and many others cursed those that they did not.
All eyes were on Elder Zod's hand.
Immediately, he brought it down, "GO!"
However, the Portal immediately shimmered.
This made the participants pause and the crowd went mute.
Portals only shimmered when something was going through. This was general knowledge that was most known to every person.
It shimmered again. This was evidence that something was pushing through.
Instantly, there was a low murmur. Elder Isiah could not help but stand to his feet. After all, if there were accidents during the occasion, it would be on their heads.
Elder Zod frowned as he stepped away from the portal. Portals were designed in different ways. There were those that were two-way, allowing passage TO and FRO, and those that allowed passage one-way.
For this event, this Portal had only been tuned to go one way, and that was from the Arena into the stormy lands of the Tundra.
There were suddenly loud banging sounds.
*Bang!*
*Bang!*
*Bang!*
Immediately, dread washed over the faces of the elders. It was apparent what was happening.
Something was breaking into the portal.
However, that did not make any sense. Tundra was an empty land, barren of all life. As a result of its unique nature, it did not even have a naturally formed primordial beast.
This meant that any and all could go into this plane. However, no one in their right mind would go to such a place.
In fact, even gods were not that bored.
Without a waste of time, the elders opted to shut down the portal.
However, the seal from every one of them was required. this naturally included Elder Zod. Unfortunately, he was too far from the other Elders.
Immediately, he rushed to place his seal. However, it was too late.
The Runes shone in a red light, and then they suddenly changed.
*CRACK!*
*CLANK!*
Like the shatter of glass, the portal opened up, and feet stepped out of it.
From the muscular structure, this was the leg of a man. It was very fair, and the feet looked to be that of jade. However, it was a bit muddy. Evidently, he had trekked a long distance.
After which, the entire body forced through.
"Starting without me!?" A half-naked man, with steam oozing out of his body, stepped out of the portal.
~~~The Audience went silent~~~
