Chapter 1322 Cap 1320: World Arena
I was resting looking at the stars passing by as the Dimensional Dragon took us to our next destination, it was a strange feeling to see the stars moving like the landscape on the side of a road while riding in a car.
It's been weeks, and almost 1 month has passed since I gained my last Essence, I spent these weeks training, carrying out the Divine Awakening in Orion and Haku, and also strengthening Alice and Karina who are my Saints with the power of the new essence.
I was lost in thought when I hear footsteps near me and see Karina approaching.
"Thinking about the explosion?"?(Karina)
"No, that wasn't my fault, the body that Nicole created was too weak, she couldn't even resist the damn crystal eye."?(I)
"When you revealed that it was a commotion, this thing looks like a forbidden Demonic Artifact."?(Karina)
"I heard the same thing from my sisters, not to mention Lilith and Erica were begging to grab the crystal eye."?(I)
"I already found Lilith scary trying to steal my storage items, lucky I used space magic to store the most important things."?(I)
"But érica was something else, she resorted to enough dirty tricks that I almost gave it to her, just thinking about it..." (I)
"I heard Hela wanted the crystal eye too."?(Karina)
"Hela is someone rational who knows how to listen to no, she asked once and accepted my refusal, she is a good daughter."?(I)
I didn't expect that those focused on studying curses and Demonic things would be so fascinated by the crystal eye, I think that thing has almost as much concentrated Cursed energy as the Purple Sun in my hand, that's because the Purple Sun keeps sucking in Cursed energy and miasma of the surroundings.
"What are you going to do now?"?(Karina)
"I planned to use the crystal eye for the infernal doll, that didn't change, but it gave me an idea to fulfill one of Hela's requests."?(I)
"You mean the statue in the Communal Temple."?(Karina)
"Yes, I have an idea of ??what I can do about her, but I'm going to need one last thing."?(I)
I've already taken care of most of everything I needed to do, that's because I've been ignoring Nira wanting to talk about politics and the economy of cities within the Dungeon.
I already have a lot on my plate to deal with in this buffet of problems to take care of the Dungeon's internal affairs, I trust her to do the right things, I have to prioritize the most important thing which is the matter involving the Gods and our enemies.
"Unmar, how long have you been here?"?(I)
"It's been a few minutes, I didn't want to disturb the conversation, but I needed to direct you correctly."?(Unmar)
While talking to Karina, Unmar appeared from the ground, more specifically from a spatial crack that opened in the ground, for some reason some of his fur was burned.
"Did something happen to you?"?(I)
"I met someone on the way here, I made a simple joke and I was thrown into a Sun, some people don't know... hey, hey!"?(Unmar)
"You damn..." (Unmar)
As he spoke a storm of leaves appeared from the spatial rift that was still open and coiled around him, his face changed to one of despair as he was pulled into the spatial rift once again, and then Rosane emerged from within with some blood in your face.
"..." (me/Karina)
"Good to see you again, Zenos."?(Rosane)
"Holy Dragon, nice to see you too."?(Rosane)
"Good to see you, Rosane."?(I)
"What about him?"?(Karina)
"..." (I)
I didn't expect to see Rosane in such a short time, she comes to visit me at least once a week, and knowing the reason I started looking around and saw someone drinking my wine.
"Is she old enough to drink?"?(I)
"I am a Goddess, even though I was just born, I have the wisdom of millions of years."?(Aurora)
"She's right and answering Karina's question, let's just say that some Deities have a lot of courage when it comes to speaking."?(Rosane)
"He made a joke about my mother being single with 3 daughters, he was lucky she just threw him into a Sun, we met him on the way to see you and ended up listening to him speak again without realizing his mistake."?(Aurora)
"She can't take a joke? Does she need to go that far?"?(I)
"It's not just him, many playful, lighthearted Gods and Deities or even those who don't like my mother are teasing her, they forget that her patience is short and her tendencies are especially violent."?(Rosane)
Yes, I've heard my mother refer to the Fairy Goddess as Massacre Fairy, those from the Church of Light also do this in a pejorative way, I myself have noticed that her personality looks a lot like Layla's, maybe that's why he chose her as his Champion.
"I saw you a few days ago, so why did you come so early?"?(I)
"Aurora is still far from having complete control over her power, so it has been partially Sealed for now, besides, my Mother wants her to see her participation in the tournament."?(Rosane)
"I didn't expect her to root for me."?(I)
"Actually, she said to see how many times her head will be crushed before she leaves the tournament."?(Aurora)
"No need to worry, I will do my best to prevent her from dying when she loses."?(Rosane)
"..." (I)
I exchange a look with Karina who was almost laughing at this situation.
"I don't feel much confidence from you guys in my victory, but I'd rather show than talk, so hold on."?(I)
"Also since your guide had a mishap, I will lead you on the right path."?(Rosane)
As she spoke I felt the power emanating from her body to the surroundings, the Dimensional Dragon connects with me about the space around her forming a tunnel and I tell him to follow.
"The tournament will bring together many important individuals, death during matches is one thing, but assassinations outside of the match or targeted at those watching the tournament would be a problem, not to mention that an attack at this type of event is a possibility."?(Rosane)
"The space around the event is isolated from the outside by a strong barrier and guarded by several Religions, it is not a place you can get to without knowing the exact location."?(Rosane)
"Here, put this on your finger."?(Aurora)
Aurora hands me a ring with an island with a Sun and a Moon on top, I can feel the Holy power in the ring, I also noticed that even though it seemed to be made of metal, it actually had a smooth wooden texture, on the side of the ring there was the silhouette from the head of a beast.
"This is the ring that will be given to each participant and comes in 4 models representing the Gods who created this tournament."?(Rosane)
As she spoke, the landscape of the sky changed faster and faster until it came to a complete stop, which was a pleasant surprise, completely stealing my attention.
In the sky there was a large island or perhaps I should call it a large flat continent with a Sun and a Moon of the same size in orbit around it, around the space continent there were some islands that seem to have silhouettes of castles or cities, it was not close to the enough to make this distinction.
"It looks like we have arrived, this is the World Arena, this Continent is the size of a World and will be used as the stage for this competition."?(Rosane)
"So the tournament will take place at this place, but where specifically?"?(I)
"I don't think he understands."?(Aurora)
"You won't say that..." (Karina)
"This whole place is going to be the arena, hence the name world arena, and before you ask, I don't know anything about the tournament itself, so there's no point in asking."?(Rosane)
I look again at the continent below, and the closer we get, my perception of its size increases, Rosane guides us to one of the islands where there is a large castle that looks like it was made with jade and marble.
It was a colossal castle that occupies half of the island while the other half appears to be just a garden, it was a magnificent place, and while I was distracted by the landscape Rosane was saying something to Karina that I only started to pay attention to now.
"Are you sure there won't be a problem?"?(Karina)
"Yes, you will be treated as guests as long as you have a connection with the competitors or one of the participating Religions."?(Rosane)
"Those with Holy Power can all enter and those with your or your sisters' lineage can also enter."?(Rosane)
"Alright, I'll do as you said."?(I)
"What are you talking about..." (I)
Before I finished speaking I felt like I was passing through a curtain of water and before I knew it I was already in the garden right in front of the gates of the jade castle that I saw from afar.
"I'm sorry for being sudden with all this, but it's best to finish the procedures as quickly as possible."?(Rosane)
"Hurry up, more people are starting to arrive."?(Aurora)
I was pulled by Aurora and when I talk to Rosane, it seems that I need to register for the Tournament, I don't need to go through the first round of preliminaries because I was invited by the God of Beasts.
After registration I was sent to another of the floating islands around the World Arena, Rosane and Aurora continued to accompany me there where it seemed like a city was located, I was allocated a hotel room in that city with other competitors.
I was still in the room with Rosane while Aurora was sucked into a Space Crack and then Unmar came out of that same Space Crack, this time her body was completely bandaged.
"How it feels?"?(Rosane)
"Like being beaten by thousands of angry Fairies before being buried under a mountain, a big mountain."?(Unmar)
"You were supposed to have learned to know what to say, I hope you remember this lesson, where is Aurora," (Rosane)
"The God of Beasts is with her, he wanted to meet the new daughter of the Goddess of Fairies."?(Unmar)
"By the way, he really wants you to win, Zenos."?(Unmar)
"I'll do my best."?(I)
