Game of the Destiny

First mission, game has started!

Hel drew closer to Dante, she floated and flew until she was right in front of Dante. Meanwhile, Dante's instincts responded as a threat.

Dante increased the intensity of the energy overflowing from his body. Created an enormous vortex of fire that enveloped the surrounding area.

Hel didn't seem to care much, the woman's pretty and pale face had no expression at all.

Gustave who had previously calmed down a bit because the combination attack launched by the race leaders had been thwarted, was now more worried about what Hel would do to Dante. That entity was far more dangerous than the race leaders who had previously attacked Dante.

Hel reached out and touched the fire vortex that Dante had created as a defense, it was beyond reason, when the woman's hand touched the fire vortex, the vortex of fire seemed to freeze before finally disappearing.

Dante who was still out of control immediately raised his right hand to attack the woman, but in vain, every time a magic circle appeared in Dante's hand, at that moment the magic circle froze and just shattered. Seeing that left the race leaders as well as Gustave speechless. Breaking the magic circle forcibly like that was not an easy thing to do.

Hel pointed one of her hands at Dante, creating a pressure of ice particles that instantly locked the man's movements. At that time Dante could not move his body at all. Dante instinctively tried to rebel, but the force holding him back was far greater.

Hel touched Dante's face, instantly making the energy waves released by Dante just disappear. It seemed that Hel suppressed Dante's energy with her strength, making Dante unable to release that uncontrollable energy anymore.

The hot aura that radiated from Dante's body slowly disappeared, and now the man returned to his normal state. It took Dante a moment to come to his senses.

After handling Dante, Hel moved very quickly, now the woman was right above the Hvergermil well. He raised one of his hands, instantly creating an extremely fierce storm. The roars and flashes of light that echoed together now gathered right in the sky that enveloped the sacred area where they had gathered at that time, all the warriors and race leaders immediately prostrated themselves in front of the woman, including Dante, he did the same. Of course, they didn't want to get punished by that woman.

Hel looked at all the individuals in the area with no expression on her face. ensure that no one of any race does something they shouldn't.

Hel withdrew her hand that was floating in the air, stopping the huge storm she had created in the area. it seemed that the punishment that was to be given to the soldiers and race leaders who had caused the chaos had been overturned.

The race leaders immediately stood up and quickly returned to their respective positions, as well as the troops from each race that had previously cornered the human race troops, they again formed a line behind the leaders of their respective races.

Now the seven race leaders have gathered in their respective places, including Dante. The seven-race leaders were now standing just a few meters away from Hel, they even felt a chill run down to the bottom of their bones at that moment. Despite being in the form of a beautiful woman, the aura Hel emitted was terrifying.

After seeing the readiness of each race leader who will take part in this Game of the Destiny, with a hint, Hel asked the race leaders to come forward and get closer to him.

Hel raised both hands towards the race leader. Instantly an extremely dazzling light appeared right in front of every race leader. Dante even had to close his eyes because he couldn't stand the flash of light that suddenly appeared in front of him, and when he opened his eyes again, he found an hourglass with white sand in it floating right in front of him. The hourglass has a diameter that is not too large and even looks easy to grip. Dante immediately grabbed the hourglass, he didn't understand why Hel gave the hourglass to them.

As Dante did, the other race leaders did the same. They immediately grabbed the hourglass at the same time.

Hel didn't say a word, but they knew it was a sign that the Game of the Destiny had begun.

After giving the item to the race leader, Hel immediately shot up and flew into the sky, the woman seemed to break and turn into ice particles in the air. The soldiers of every race cheered, they welcomed the start of this Game of the Destiny with great enthusiasm. It seems that the grudge that arose between them because of the previous Game of the Destiny they will pay for in this Game of the Destiny.

The ice particles created from Hel's body formed a familiar beast figure. Game of the Destiny this time will be opened with the first mission, namely hunting deer. Once again the soldiers from each race immediately cheered, as usual, the first mission was a mission that tended to be very easy to do.

"Deer?" said Dante.

"Yes, the first mission of all of us is to hunt deer!" answered Laulora in response to Dante's question.

Dante really can't believe it, he thinks the missions that will be given in the game will be very difficult to do, but hunting deer is an easy thing, the man thought.

"What do you think, are you just wasting your time?" Laulora said.

"Didn't the hourglass start to run?" added the very beautiful woman.

Dante immediately looked at the hourglass in his hand, sure enough, the hourglass is now starting to work as Laulora said. it seems that each given mission will have a grace period.

Laulora and the other race leaders immediately left the area. The game has been opened, they must not waste points in each given mission. It will greatly affect the final calculation that will determine the fate of each race that participates in the game.

Alarik stared intently at Dante, he still looked annoyed at the incident that had just happened, but just like Laulora, he didn't want to waste time on their first mission back then.

Lazarus approached Dante, he said clearly how he thought about Dante as the representative of the human race this time. According to Lazarus, Dante is just an amateur and is no match for the fire prince who had previously been told by the leader of the vampire race in Game of the Destiny before.

Dante could only lower his face, he knew what Lazarus said at that time was true. Lazarus felt very disappointed because the fire prince this time was not as great as the fire prince he had previously heard from the leader of his race.

The leaders of the other races and their armies very quickly moved and left the sacred area, leaving only the human race who seemed to have not moved from their spot.

Gustave immediately approached Dante.

"Are you all right Prince?" asked Gustave, he was quite worried about Dante's condition.

"Yeah, I'm fine, however…." Dante lowered his head and looked away from Gustave. As Lazarus said, he felt unworthy of being called the prince of fire.

"Don't let that thought bother you!" said Gustave, he was very sensitive to what Dante was feeling.

"We also have to hurry like any other race, isn't the time already running?" said Gustave.

Dante looked at the hourglass in his hand, it was true what Gustave said, they shouldn't waste more time than that.

Dante immediately boarded his royal carriage, they must immediately find the whereabouts of the deer to complete the first mission properly. Fortunately, the division that is usually in charge of hunting is quite familiar with the area where there are many animals.

"We should just hunt in our territory, it would be better if we avoid clashes with other races!" Gustave suggested.

Dante immediately agreed to it. Avoiding racial friction would be much better, he thought.

******

The Niflheim region is divided according to each cardinal direction. Currently, each race has its area of ​​power.

The northern part of Niflheim was a sacred and forbidden area, it was a place where the well of Hvergelmir which was the most forbidden part of the middle of nowhere, the well was the center of the Elivarga river flowing in that land was always covered in snow, no race was allowed to set foot in it there, their only chance is when Game of the Destiny's opening takes place, of course, this is due to direct orders from Nidhug, the entity that controls that dimension. While the rest of the territory is now occupied by each of the races participating in the game. that.

The southern region is the place for mankind, it is the place where the kingdom of Taraec is located. The West is ruled by the vampire race, the South is the territory of the werewolf race, the Northwest is the Orc race, the Northeast is the elf race, the Southeast is the goblin race, and the Southwest is the Dwarf race.

After the defeat of the lizard-man race in the previous Game of the Destiny, the current division of territory was fairly even.

"Lizardman?" asked Dante.

"Yeah, they were the race that hit the lowest points in the previous Game of the Destiny!" Gustave replied.

"Then what happened to them?" asked Dante again.

Gustave took a deep breath.

"They were annihilated by Nidhug. So is the world they came from!" Gustave replied.

"We must not lose this game, otherwise the fate of mankind will be the same as theirs!" said Gustave.

"You could say the lizard-human race is now extinct!" added the man.

"And of course, we don't want to end up like them!" Gustave turned his face to the sky. Meanwhile, Dante again felt a very heavy burden on his shoulders.
