Guild Wars

Chapter 990 The Three Doors 2



Krona only had a little time to analyze the arena he was thrust in before a prompt from the AI came up.

「System to Player Announcement

Beginning the Power Test of the Vault of the Deep. Standby.」

「Power Test – Unique Quest Sub-Event

Description: You have been teleported to a fragment of time replicated by Poseidon from when he was forced into a gladiator arena for the entertainment of the sea monsters. At the time, he was young and untrained, not even knowing how to fight properly, but the great power hidden in his bloodline allowed him to carve out a path of success and oppress his foes!

Rewards: Power Test Certificate Seal.」

「System to Player Announcement

The objective of the Power Test has been set. Player Krona Lord must defeat all foes present in the arena to clear this task.」

"Easy enough." Krona muttered to himself as he casually snapped the chains holding him, which shocked the crowd for a second. However, the next moment their cheer rose louder when they saw the fellow tossed in from the other side.

「Name: Evil Eel – Major Rank monster

Level: 140

HP: 31,500,000/31,500,000」

Krona raised an eyebrow when he looked at the giant eel the size of a bus swim over, its sharp and plentiful teeth chomping repeatedly with mockery as it stared at him.

Unlike him, who was dragged and tossed in while wearing chains, this fellow had been escorted out like a VIP, showing the difference in status between sea monsters and mermen during this time period.

The Evil Eel made some noise and roused up the crowd who was screaming for the monster to tear Krona into shreds for their amusement. The sea monster basked in this glory, and Krona watched it silently with a cold look.

He simply pointed a finger and lost interest in watching anymore.

"Umibozu, destroy this clown."

「Divine Summon: Umibozu  – Active skill

Effect: As the Sub-Mariner, call forth the Divine Being, Umibozu, to assist you temporarily as is your right.

Duration: 10 minutes.

Cooldown: 1 day.」

「Name: Umibozu (Kronalord) – Colonel Rank monster

Level: 200

HP: 988,000,000/988,000,000」

Umibozu, who was like a giant half-human, half-fish baby with only a shoddy piece of coral covering its privates, appeared in the arena, its size so large that it was likely visible from hundreds of kilometers away.

It caused the screaming crowd to shut the fuck up immediately as their hearts rose to their throats in fear and horror. The Evil Eel who had been posturing arrogantly looked like a little snake before the summon.

Umibozu immediately raised its hand and smashed down, looking like a giant Buddha in outer space smashing down on Earth. The sea monsters only had a few seconds to scream in fear and regret as they were smashed to pieces, the entire arena and coliseum breaking into dust that formed a great shockwave underwater that went on for miles.

Everything within the nearest 100 kilometers was definitely dead, blown into bloodmist from the water pressure resulting from that huge palm slap. Umibozu laughed gaily and continued smashing down, destroying the entire area, while Krona was focused on something else.

It was the scene of how Poseidon had dealt with this event. He too had been dragged over like Krona and tossed in, but he wasn't nearly as calm. Rather, he struggled and roared the entire way, causing the guards to beat him up and injure him.

When he fell in, he barely had the strength to get up and definitely could not remove his chains. The Evil Eel came in and postured to great effect, and Poseidon's eyes became bloodshot from fear and humiliation.

Eventually, he was forced to run and dodge all over the stage by the Evil Eel who was toying with him for shits and giggles, causing the crowd to be filled with laughter and joy.

Poseidon slowly lost his fear and became crazy from the humiliation, and his bloodline power exploded. He gained strength from somewhere and snapped his chains, using the water to form a high pressure lance that he battled the Evil Eel with.

They fought for almost four hours nonstop until the Evil Eel was knocked unconscious by a lucky combo by Poseidon. He then fell to his knees, weak from the exertion and bloodline explosion, while the crowd had gone silent from shock.

Immediately, some fellows noticed his weakness and rushed over to have a good meal, but were slapped back by the arena guards.

The vision ended with Poseidon being dragged away in chains to be tried for 'cheating' during an arena match.

Krona appeared on the ship's deck with a red badge shaped like a starfish which glowed magically and on it was written the runes for 'power' just like on the red door he entered.

He looked to the side and saw Omega smiling at him and then to the other side and saw an impressive sight.

......…..

Draco realized that he had appeared on a small hill underwater during nighttime. He looked over and saw an squad of sea monsters rushing towards a merman village, brutality and killing intent in their eyes.

「System to Player Announcement

Beginning the Mentality Test of the Vault of the Deep. Standby.」

「Power Test – Unique Quest Sub-Event

Description: You have been teleported to a fragment of time replicated by Poseidon from when he had escaped the banana trial held for him. In retaliation to his act of rebellion, the sea monsters sent a small squad of elite troops to Poseidon's home village to slaughter his family and friend to lure him out as well as scare the other races from daring to have ideas of rebellion!

Rewards: Mentality Test Certificate Seal.」

「System to Player Announcement

The objective of the Mentality Test has been set. Player Draco must stand firm and resist the urge to interfere to clear this task.」

Naturally, when spotted, the mermen began to flee in fear and panic, but a slaughter that was unavoidable began. Blood flowed and screams were heard as mermen were slaughtered and eaten on the spot, regardless of men, women and children.

Draco even saw that not too far away from his hiding place, a baby was snatched from his killed mother and had its head torn off and eaten by a bass-like sea monster with human arms and a cruel smile.

Draco stood atop the hill and looked down on the cruel and heartless slaughter with a nonchalant expression. He waited until the fellows were thoroughly done and had enjoyed themselves before snapping a finger.

Immediately, they were all frozen in place and their callous expressions changed to fear. Draco then pointed a finger at them and spatial portals opened beside them.

From the space portals, their family, friends and loved ones poured out, shocked that they had been grabbed over from miles away. Draco then raised a finger as black light flashed from his body.

Immediately, the mangled corpses of the mermen were returned to their whole state and they rose up from the ground. Their eyes flashed with malice, hatred and revenge as they pounced on the friend and loved ones of the soldiers who slaughtered them.

The sea monster warriors were forced to watch as their wives, concubines, children and friends were ripped apart in the most painful and horrific way, screaming for help from their father/brother/sons but could only die in agony and fear.

The sea monster warriors went mad from pain and anguish, struggling against the spatial bond Draco had locked them in as their eyes became bloodshot.

However, was it possible to break free? Wishful thinking. They watched until their entire families were ruined to death, then they themselves were subjected to a slow and painful death.

Draco then collected their souls into his Nine Hells and looked away.

Before him, a scene played out where a pale faced Poseidon lay down on the hill, hiding uselessly as he watched his family and friends ripped apart by the sea monster soldiers one by one.

Even his own sister and parents were not spared, causing Poseidon to howl like a wounded beast. This caused him to explode with power, but he still didn't rush down, knowing that doing so would only end in his own death.

Rather, he fled resolutely, his heart burning with hatred as he swore to come back one day and get endless revenge for what had happened today! It was today that the biggest horror of the sea monster race and of Leviathan was born!

As for Draco, he simply watched this with a slight smile. He then returned to the ship where he was presented with a purple medal shaped like a star fish that glowed brightly.

On it were the runes for 'mentality' and Draco glanced at it casually before turning to see that Omega and Krona had come out at roughly the same time as him.

The moment Draco reconnected to Eva's neural network, she dug out the events that occurred in Draco's test. Next she dug out what happened in the power and bloodline tests from Omega and Krona, before she shared the details with everyone.
