Battle of Ascension

Chapter 511: Ascension Battle (1)

Uh? There was a registration for the last trial. Randy did not hear this from King Andreas. Maybe, the last trial might be different from what King Andreas told him.

Randy did not directly accept it. He turned back and told the others about the registration. Until now, he was confident because everything was not different from what King Andreas told him. With the current strength of Divine Empyrean, Randy without hesitation departed to Ascension Tower.

However, he encountered something different from what he knew. After discussing for a while, Randy did not directly register it. They decided to set up the door teleportation to connect Evergreen City and them.

Yes, they came prepared and brought uninstalled door teleportation. Quick, three hundred Divine Empyrean occupied a few districts and set up these buildings as their temporary lodging.

There were two reasons why Randy wanted to connect Evergreen City with door teleportation. First, Hermione, she was the reason. Hermione came from the Crimson Cloud Kingdom, Randy wanted to ask about the registration thing.

Second, it was to gather their full force. Even though the three hundred people were the strongest from their respective guild, it could not guarantee there were no monster or beast stronger than this team.

So, if Hermione really did not know anything about the procedure of the last phase, they could register the trial without worries with the full force gathered in one place.

Less than half an hour, the empty city was now filled with people. They were Divine Empyrean people who got a chance to use the teleportation door.

Meanwhile, Empyrean Council also gathered for a meeting. Hermione was the main topic, during the meeting Randy did not hide the truth if Hermione was coming from Ascension World.

What Divine Empyrean needed the most now was united as one. Because Divine Empyrean just established recently, Randy had to admit there was still a gap between the guilds. Randy even told the council members he had visited Ascension World a few years ago.

At this point, there was no harm telling this out. Instead, it would make the other guilds such as Justice Knight, Royal Knight, and the other small and mediums guild relieved. At least with this story, Randy was telling them your leader and teammate were reliable.

After telling this story to the council member, Randy got to the main topic and asked Hermione whether she knew the registration thingy or not. Unfortunately, what Hermione knew was not detailed, it was even less detailed than what King Andreas told him. Hermione could only know the things written in the library, the history of Crimson Cloud Kingdom.

Then, the talk reached a deadlock, because what awaited them was unknown. Randy did not dare to take the risk for the time being.

Shana was also hopeless. She could not leak any information regarded in the last phase. Not a single thing. After further discussion, they came to an agreement.

Randy decided to not register his nation for the time being. At least he would not register after the force transfer was completed. Yes, Divine Empyrean decided to transfer the main force to the tower city.

There was something strange within the city. Divine Empyrean could only occupy about 40 districts, expanding further was impossible as there was an invisible barrier prevented them to take more districts.

Randy afraid if this city would the place a trial started. In two days, the main force of Divine Empyrean transferred to the city. Most of them were a legion from a former force of Happy Guild.

It took days and the forty districts filled with the people of Divine Empyrean. The non-combatant was teleported back to Evergreen City. After the preparation was done, Randy registered Divine Empyrean for the last trial.

Battle System: Divine Empyrean is registered for the last trial! The trial will start in seven days!

Ding!

Battle System: We detected a special circumstance for Divine Empyrean! Please bring two people with you and enter the tower!

After the notification ended, the metal entrance opened.

Randy was relieved when he heard the first notification, but he frowned when he heard the second one.

Randy told the people behind him what he received. He had to bring two people inside the Ascension Tower. No one knew what would they encounter inside the tower and Randy decided to bring the best out of the best, Limera and David.

The others also agreed with Randy's decision and then, Randy, Limera, and David entered the Ascension Tower. It was total darkness.

Randy tried to use his fire Elemental Power to lighten their way. However, even his maximum level Fire Elemental Power had no effect on the surrounding. It was still pitch black room, even Randy could not see the fire which supposed to in his hand.

"I can't use" Stopped his words midway, suddenly the surrounding changed. Randy found he was in a giant hall and there were another six figures appeared before him. He recognized one of the six figures, Evan. There were another two people behind Evan.

On his right side, Randy also knew what thing they were. The leader of the Abyss Realm, Horn. Behind Hord, there was another horn and another undead race he did not recognize.

Its face similar to a fish, an ugly fish at that, its shining teeth were outside the lip, and it was wearing an armor that covered all its body. After further thought, Randy remembered this undead race's face was similar to angler fish. Only lacked a lamp on its head.

Just as Randy wanted to use his detection skill at this angler fish face, there was a huge shadow loomed over the group. Randy looked up and found the Golden Dragon he met after the World Contest was hovering above him.

Beside the Golden Dragon, there were another three humanoid figures appeared. He recognized one of three humanoid figures, Hermit Varikh. Golden Dragon, Hermit Varikh, and the other two Guardians stood in their air.

Right beside Hermit Varikh, there was a blue humanoid form. All over its body was blue in color, it only had one eye which rather big, two weird antennas on its head, and sword-like horn in the middle of the antennas. It did not wear any clothes or armor, showing its muscular body. It did even wear pants, but worried not, this monster seemed to be genderless as there was nothing on its crotch. There was not a forbidden hole or divine rod attached.

Randy guessed this genderless monster was a Guardian from the monster race. Beside the genderless monster, there was another humanoid figure. However, this figure covered all parts of the bodies with a black cloak.

Randy did not dare to use his detection skill on the genderless monster even he was curious. He had learned his lesson, Guardian would know it. Golden Dragon did not angry when he used it, but this was another matter. The monster race was hostile to the human race, Randy did not know what the genderless monster would do to him if he used detection skill on it.

While Randy was busy looking at the Guardian, Hermit Varikh descended while the other three Guardian stayed in the air. Hermit Varikh descended in the middle of three groups.

"Hello, the Ascender! I am one of Guardians, Hermit Varikh!" Hermit Varikh introduced himself. His appearance and how he spoke was more like a kind gramp, but the childish that came from his mouth made everything weird.

Hermit Varikh wanted to continue, but there was another voice interrupted him, "Shut it out, just get the main point!"

Everyone looked up and failed to find where the voice came from. Only Hermit Varikh knew whose voice it belonged.

"Alright! Alright! Why are you so impatient!" Hermit Varikh complained like a child, the manner of a kind gramp was nowhere to be seen.

"Then, I will get to the main point! We are here to explain the special circumstance you guys have~" Suddenly, Hermit Varikh's tone turned cheerful.

"The special circumstance is your group managed to pass the World Contest splendidly! As information, the last trial comprised three stages and the World Contest you have passed through is the same difficulty as the first two stages of the last trial~"

"Because you guys have passed the World Contest, it's the same as your group have passed the first two stages trial. Considering this, we Guardians who oversee the Battle of Ascension for Earth decided you can directly participate in the last stage of the final trial, Ascension Battle~"

"Oh, actually there are another three groups who passed the World Contest splendidly, but they haven't arrived yet, " Hermit Varikh looked up, "Shall we wait for them?"

Hermit Varikh's words were clear, he wanted the six groups, kingdom, or guild competed in Ascension Battle.

"We don't need to wait for them. We will only hold another Ascension Battle when they arrived! It can shorten out work as Guardian. Watching ants struggling is boring as hell!" The genderless monster commented and surprising its voice was feminine.

Hearing the genderless monster's remark, everyone looked up. Being called ant made Evan's group and Undead's group furious. Randy also frowned at the genderless monster's remark.

However, no one voiced their displeasure. Everyone knew Guardian was far stronger than themselves.

Golden Dragon and the black cloak said nothing.

Hermit Varikh also nodded his head and looked back the three group.

"Then, I will explain the Ascension Battle. It's a royal battle. We, Guardians, set the rule and you guys the participants set the number of the participants~"

After Hermit Varikh finished his words, a notification rang in Randy's head.

Ding!

Randy checked the notification, the notification was asking Randy's choice for the royale battle. There were five choices.

"We choose the choice with the most votes! If the first round is a draw, then the second round will begin. The person you bring in also has the right to choose. To be fair, no discussion allowed, please make your choice now~"
