Rise Of The Celestials Chapter 96
Although there were seven people in the room, no one said anything.This created a situation where the silence was deafening. They were still stuck in this situation when a projection appeared in the room.In the projection was the familiar face of the woman who welcomed them to the central city on the first day."Good day... Due to the events that occurred yesterday, the requirements of a piece of information have been met and will now be delivered", she started.This projection did not just appear in Aiden's room, it appeared everywhere, not just in the central city, but in every city that had someone staying in it."This is the fifth week since you all arrived here. Your stay will last twelve weeks. At the moment, you are all required to raise your orders in preparation for a combat test that will come in at the end of your twelve-week stay""In the eighth week, the first ruin will open, and all will be allowed access... The rules and rewards will be explained in due time"With tha
Rise Of The Celestials Chapter 97
A hand grabbed at Aiden, but Aiden did not flinch... Consequently, the hand that grabbed at him froze in mid-air.For a moment, all the momentum that had built up in that moment of cool declarations that Chip gave vanished.The guy who had tried to grab Aiden found his situation to be quite bizarre. This changed his motion from grabbing to trying to pull himself free."Reid, what are you doing?", One of his comrades asked."My hand is stuck", he responded with panic evident in his voice.Another person stepped out to confirm and help the frozen Reid... At this time, it became clear that Reid indeed had his hand frozen in mid-air. No matter how much they pulled, his hand remained in place."What did you do?", Chip growled at Aiden.However, Aiden's poker face was impeccable as he answered innocently, "I did not move, you were looking at me, weren't you?"Chip growled again because he did not have an answer to Aiden's response."I will count to three. If he is not free by then, I will s
Rise Of The Celestials Chapter 98
Aiden stepped out of an alley at the same time that Diane entered his room… He did not look back as he blended in with the crowd and left the inner city. Minutes later, he was walking out of the city.He left in the most crowded direction he could find. Many of the participants had gotten over their fears and were now leaving the city.There was a bit of a rush now, everyone wanted to be the strongest they could be before the ruin opened. No one had any idea what the ruin would be like, but they all guessed that it could only be amazing considering the way it was announced by the woman in the projection.Following the crowd brought him deep into the forest. He came across many people on the way and most of them were in teams.He avoided them as best as he could, but he found that there were no briwyns to hunt at this distance into the forest… There was also the prickling sensation he got when someone was watching him from the shadows.When this sensation persisted kilometers into the
Rise Of The Celestials Chapter 99
Zipping around the forest, Aiden and Harold turned into blurred shadows of themselves and in a few seconds, they had exchanged tens of punches and blocked just as many.When they separated, one could finally see their expressions, and bizarre as it was, they were both smiling widely, looking like they were having the time of their lives. The smile on Harold's face was by far the widest because they were no different from that of a psychopath.The group of arcanas surrounding the two spread out to give them space, although they maintained a relatively close encirclement to prevent any attempts to escape.It was unknown at the time if Aiden noticed this behavior, this encirclement, or if he was even bothered by it. However, one thing was clear for that moment, he had no thoughts of staging an escape, at least not yet.Their pause was only a small thing and they took off again, slamming their fists into each other so hard that the sounds their attacks made sounded like mini explosions.T

The tree with its cracking sounds soon escalated into physical cracks up the body of the tree. Before long, it split into two halves and fell on both sides of the briwyn.The briwyn continued to stand in the same position despite the result of its attack. Beneath its front limbs, blood had collected and stained the grass. With the tree gone, you could see a shower of light particles being emitted from the tree's former location.In the same vein, a side view revealed Aiden with the tusk of the briwyn pierced right through his side, opening an entirely new wound.There were light particles emitted from the spot that had been torn open by the briwyn's tusk. Unsurprisingly, the pain from this skewering event was enough to put a bell into Aiden's head and wake him up.Another wound… This wound was unlike the first simple cut and a lot of blood came pouring out this time. You could sit and feel pity for Aiden at that moment, but that would only be something you did before you saw Aiden slo
Rise Of The Celestials Chapter 101
Aiden opened his eyes to see the inside of a cave. The memory of the briwyn whose tongue he pulled out was still vivid in his mind. He remembered that he decided to settle down for a rest since he could not move. It seemed like while he was doing that, he had fallen asleep.He could hear the crackling of fire beside him, a sound that got his mind running at full speed in seconds. He managed to calm himself down shortly afterward.He thought of the position his captor most likely found him in. There was no defenseless position a person could be in that was worse than that. Since he was not dead or restrained, a discovery he made quickly, it meant that his captor was not looking to kill him… At least not yet."I know you woke up… You couldn't fully dampen the involuntary moves your body made", a voice sounded.Thinking for a quick moment while the cave fell into silence, Aiden decided to meet this person, so he sat up. Very slowly, he pulled himself to a sitting position with both his a

It was just a single step forward, but it felt like the beast teleported. It was standing in front of Aiden with arms striking down like a tree trunk falling at light speed.Aiden found that dodging was impossible when he thought of it, and the only solution he had at that moment was to block the attack.He did not expect the amount of force that poured into his arms when the blow landed. It felt as if he had been struck by an overpowered bull… The blow sent him skidding back until he was standing next to Connor. Connor had a terrified expression and looked to be frozen in place when Aiden turned to look at him."Connor… Connor… Con…", Aiden called out repeatedly, but the boy was frozen and his mind long gone.Aiden abandoned the attempt to wake Connor from his frozen state when the beast growled again and charged straight at him once more.Again, it seemed like the beast had taken just a step, but it was in front of him before he could react. This time, the attack did not come slammi

And so, they waited for hours. Connor was just getting restless. Staying in a tiny space like that for so long seemed to be getting to him. They waited a while more after Aiden calmed Connor down before they saw what they were waiting for. One after the other, the briwyns piled into the cavern.They were part of a pack because they were the same breed and moved together while having a clear leader. There were also the young ones in the pack and they stayed in the middle, shielded on all sides by the older ones.They moved through the cavern in a clear direction. Aiden and Connor watched them until they were passing beside them.They were not expecting when the pack suddenly stopped in their tracks after one of the briwyns close to the wall they were hiding made a grunt that echoed through the cavern.The leader was the only one that moved when this pause happened. The briwyn was bigger and looked sturdier than the rest. It walked up to the wall and drew in a long sniff.At that moment

Breakdown (1)
The crowd was pulled from the tragedy that the nobles caused, and some people started to point to the group suspended above them, whispering and murmuring various pieces of gossip.This was a topic that excited them all, however, the ones who were most excited for the revelation were the nobles who finally knew the people who beat them to occupy the highest floor of the tower.They did not hide the wicked grins on their faces and Aiden saw these grins on their faces. He also saw that the group were starting to descend from the sky into the midst of the crowd. That was bad and was quickly made worse when he noticed the nobles setting their hounds on the group.He could guess their thoughts. Even if the group was stronger than they were, given the position they occupied, they did not believe it and wanted to know for themselves how powerful they were.This gave Aiden a headache and his mind began to spin quickly, looking for a big enough distraction that would give the group a chance to

Chapter 149: Unexpected Changes
None could ask the other for help because each had someone attacking them, however, they were not noble scions for nothing. Despite being overpowered by the golems, they dealt some damage over time.It was not immediately obvious, but they managed to hold their own, and avoid grievous injuries even though there were several close calls.It took them each about an hour to circumvent their respective golems and deal enough damage to break through their chests.Hadrian was the first followed by Oscar shortly after with Tristan clocking in third, a few seconds behind Oscar. He was unhappy with this but he had no time to be unhappy because his face soon changed into a somber look. Oscar who had just tried to pick up the glowing multi-coloured orb was surprised to find the orb roll away from him and float up to meet the orb that came from Tristan’s golem. This also meant that the orb in Hadrian’s hand was the only one that remained.Oscar and Tristan noticed this, but they could do nothin

Chapter 148: Three Noble Scions
No one cared who had said that word because they all ran. The sight of the gray tentacles rising like pillars from the depths of the abyss was enough to scare every one of them.At the same moment, there was a rumble that spread across the skies of the city at that moment. Everyone heard it. Aiden, sitting in the restaurant was jolted from his thoughts and joined everyone else as they looked up at the ruin.He witnessed a few of the tentacles of the beast appear on the edge of the ruin as he had seen before they entered the ruin.‘That bridge, huh? They might be lucky enough to escape'.He did not care much if these people beat the ruin and made it to the temple. He had gotten his rewards and he was happy with that.Tristan and his group had immediately dashed off the bridge, but the tentacles came down on the bridge at a lightning-fast speed.This attack ripped the bridge apart, leaving just three people from Tristan’s group unscathed.Tristan’s face was painted with horror like ever

Aiden was dumbfounded. How was this a reward? It simply contradicted itself. The problem it caused was having him be a prime target for the Zaltyr, but it would also save him from them once.Then, is the mark erased once the life-saving opportunity is used?[Yes, everything returns to normal after that]This made him heave a sigh of relief. He tried to look at this from a positive perspective. This meant the mark was not meant to specifically protect him from the Zaltyr, its main purpose was to protect him from every other thing that tried to kill him.Thinking about it this way made it easier to accept the fact that he was going to be in trouble with the Zaltyr sooner or later, albeit only slightly.Elder Zarek watched Aiden go through his thoughts for a few minutes while he thought of the command he had received from The World Seed.Aiden had recovered his thoughts at this point and decided to check on his elemental seed. He was elated to see the changes to his elemental seed.The mu

None of the thirty remaining survivors was stupid and they took things as calmly as they could. There was no visible harm to resting till a problem was identified and this was something they unanimously agreed on.As they expected, there was something that was out of the ordinary and it was found after two hours of waiting.The quiet rumble that came from the depths of the chasm was enough of a wake-up call.Theo of the Arco twins was the one who made the first comment, breaking the silence. None of them believed that crossing the bridge would be easy from the start, however, the realization that some unknown danger lurked beneath was enough to bring them flashbacks of their time in the maze.“There’s something down there as well? Why is this trial so difficult?”“Good thing we were patient…”“Patient? What does that do for us?”“Theo is not completely wrong. Every stage of the trials had been harder than the last”, Oscar took a deep breath.“Indeed… Something that can cause such a ru

Chapter 145: Separated By Trials
“You just had to jinx it?”Raven rolled her eyes in response.The orb glowed and the rubble spread across the hall was drawn to it. One piece after the other, they mashed together and barely a moment later, a statue had formed.This statue looked the same as the ones they fought before, save for a few important differences. One, this new statue was massive, at least three times as tall. Two, the statue now had a weapon – A halberd which it swung around. Three, most importantly, it had lines running all over its body. Looking close enough these lines were runes just like the ones Aiden and the rest had, but these were very close to being complete, easily dwarfing the ones they had.Their expressions turned grave as the glowing eyes of the massive statue locked onto them.It was a golem, and it wasted no time. With a roar that sounded like thunder, it wielded its halberd and charged at them.There was no running from it, because, a sweep of its halberd made the hall feel claustrophobi

Raven who had suggested was the first to move, and the moment she did, everyone else followed her one after the other. They got to the stone coffin amidst their careful creeping without any problems. The unnerving feeling that they felt from the statues kept them on their toes as they expected everything to go wrong at any moment. "Now what", Raven asked. Aiden and Connor stepped here, and as he instructed; "Keep an eye out", the two of them pushed the lid off the stone coffin. They were right to be worried, because the moment the stone coffin opened slightly, light burst out of the opening. They were taken aback by this absurd light show, however, the light was like a tonic, one that breathed life into the surrounding. Life into the several warrior statues that lined the walls. Each of their eyes opened with a snap, glowing a bright orange, followed by cracks that came from the loosening of the joints on the statues. Gadiel was the first to speak regret about the situation, but

With Aiden and Connor leading the way, they stepped onto the rope bridge. The silence that fell on them at that was quite unnerving, but it helped them keep their focus. This meant that their reactions were spot on as they responded immediately to Aiden making any signals.This was the moment that they finally understood the danger that lay in the chasm beneath them. Apart from the scary chasm that looked like a bottomless pit, a sight that already promised them death should they fall into it, there was something else living in the chasm, and the dreadful atmosphere it brought with evidence of its existence sent chills running their spines. The conclusion here was very simple, there was trouble and they needed to be careful.Listening carefully, they heard the silent rumbles gradually fade away, taking with it the tense atmosphere they felt. You would expect Aiden to make a sudden dash to get across as quickly as possible, but he didn't. He was taking no chances, so continued steadily

"Three days?!", Raven started."Oh, don't get worked up, it was more like two and a half days", Princess Eleanor chipped in.Unfortunately, this did not change the reaction Raven had; in fact, her reaction got worse at that moment as she got frantic and almost lost her mind as she looked around."Calm down, Raven. Things are not as bad as you think. We are out of the grassland maze; of course, we had to wait for everyone to de-petrify before we continued…", Deirdre explained."So, what trial do we have now?", Raven asked and immediately got a response."Oh, the long rope bridge, strung across the chasm that has a tentacled beast living in it", Deirdre responded like that piece of information was of no consequence.Raven was silent as she stared off into space for a moment. When she got her mind back, she asked almost immediately… "Are we crossing now that I am awake?"A question to which Princess Eleanor answered in a snarky and sarcastic tone… "Hopefully". Her comment got a few gazes
