The whole ground buzzed with vigour, it looked like people were going for war. All of the people present there were the most powerful people of the surrounding countries and the kingdom of Detus.
Soon enough a black coloured portal opened up in front of hundreds of people present there. It was almost ten-meter tall, oval portal. It has a deep black colour and a certain attractive force, which made the wind rushing on the open ground even more fierce.
Even some of the spirit shield wavered against the suction force of the portal. The small stones started levitating and furiously rushing in the portal. They vanished afterwards.
Everybody stood there, looking at the portal in awe.
"All the people of Detus and surrounding countries now is your chance to prove yourself and make yourself and your family powerful!" Garu said and then raised his hand towards the black portal.
"Now all of you should go into this portal in teams of three and your team will be randomly teleported throughout the tomb. You can even find yourself in front of great treasure just after entering the tomb. Or you can find yourself in peril!"
"All of you should maintain your composure and work together, I will reward the whole team even if one of you succeeded!" He said in a loud voice, although strong winds were going on, his voice could be heard clearly by everyone present there.
"The whole team will be a reward? Wow!" Many of the people gasped and grew excited, now their chance of getting into the legendary Rubloa sect have increased by manifold.
Many of them had huge grins on their faces.
Soon enough first team of three entered the portal, they were just some noble arrogant kids of a country nearby. Soon like a sheep herd, the second group stepped and then third and then the big ground started to empty out slowly.
Both Aurora and Garu were flying above the stage looking at all the people entering the tomb, with serious expressions and their hands behind their back.
The wind slowly fluttered their clothes and their long silky hairs. Both of them were unmoving and didn't show any expression on their faces.
Rowen took a final glance at them and smiled. He will make sure to teach this arrogant couple a good lesson, however, before that. He cast his gaze at the pink-haired chatterbox besides him and grinned.
He, Ia and her old guard Burkhart were people in his team. As his cultivation realm was just equal to her guards she chose him instead of any other guard. She wanted an innocent young boy to accompany her, instead of her old guards. Even if Rowen was one level lower than her guards she would have chosen him as she just can't handle boredom.
As soon as three of them came in front of the large portal, they could feel the strong suction force coming from it. Even their spiritual energies were being absorbed by this portal. If they stood more than ten minutes in front of it, then Rowen was sure that all his spiritual energy will be sucked dry then he will have no power to resist against this suction force and he will be forced into the tomb.
He clenched his jaws and decided that he needed to be powerful as soon as possible, now as he has seen the people with more power than he imagined, he was sure that it will not be easy for him to achieve the ultimate demonic dao.
"Junior brother, you can hold my hand if you are scared," Ia said with a playful smile on her face, she was teasing him.
Rowen looked at her and smiled widely, "It will be my honour to hold the beautiful hands of big sister Ia." He said, however, inside he was thinking, 'Just wait for a little more bitch, then I will see who is the scared one.'
He raised his hand a little and moved it towards Ia, however, just before he could hold her, she backed her hand away and giggled. "Junior brother, don't you think you are too forward, to hold my hand just in one day of our meeting. What will you do after a few days?" She said and placed her hand over her mouth, she couldn't stop laughing at his awkward condition.
Rowen first turned silent when he suddenly pulled his hand back, however, he soon maintained his composure and smiled. "Big sister is too indecent, how can I do something to you when I am weaker than..."
Just as he was saying his words all of them finally vanished from the portal, without leaving any trace, even their voices teleported.
"...than you?"
Soon enough they appeared in a huge garden with tall grass filled in it, there was a soothing bright light coming from the ceiling. There was a stone on the ceiling that emitted a bright light on the ground. The garden was completely enclosed with huge walls and there was only a single gate from which only a dwarf could pass through.
All of them opened their eyes, feeling a bit pain in their heads. They placed their hands against their glabella to shield their eyes from the bright light coming from the ceiling.
Rowen cleared his head by circulating his Qi in his body. He then opened his squinted eyes, first, his gaze fell upon the pink-haired princess, she was standing just in front of him. Her hands still in front of her eyes. He then moved his head towards his left, where he saw the old guard Burkhart.
The old guard also has his eyes squinted in pain. Rowen seeing that both of them were still in a stupor smiled and then quickly summoned his Death Worm.
The Death Worm he summoned was only the size of his finger and landed on his hand. "Go eat that old man, don't leave even his bones." He said to the worm by the Mental Message technique. He then threw it towards the black-garbed guard.
The Death Worm increased its size in the air and then completely chomped the Burkhart without even leaving drops of blood.
The old guard didn't even had a chance to scream before he became the food of the Death Worm. After eating the Guard, the death worm again regained little size then it burrowed its body under the soil.
Listening the faint sound of chomping, Ia woke up from her stupor and then she turned around to look at the young man in front of her.
She smiled at him and said. "Looks like junior brother Javion, is resistant to space shifts..." Just as she finished her sentence, did she noticed that her loyal guard or her third teammate is nowhere to be seen.
She looked around the complete room, turning her body to three-sixty degrees, however, she couldn't find the trace of her guard. A sudden uneasiness pierced her heart.
She then cast her gaze at the youth and seeing him smiling, she got even more afraid.
"Ju.. Junior Brother Lavion, could you know where Burkhart is?" She said while stuttering in terror. She could feel an unusual coldness coming out of the seemingly innocent boy in front of him.
Rowen, listening to her smiled even more, his eyes looked at her body and then he licked his lips, as he has seen an appetising plate of cooked meat.
He, without speaking anything moved his right leg one step ahead.
Ia subconsciously stepped back a step with his leg. She looked at the guy in front of him and her heartbeat started to rise. Her face turned completely warm and her hands turned completely cold, her body started leaking sweat through her skin.
"I killed that old fart, he was too noisy." Rowen said.
"Brother Javion, please don't joke with me, this is not the right time to play." She said in a low and terrified voice. Her right hand tightly grabbed the cloth of her robe.
She continued to step back slowly on the grassy ground. She opened her spiritual sense and seeing that the only escape route was half of her size, she was sure that Rowen will catch her if she tried to escape from that route.
"Little sister, why are you backing up, come and play with your junior brother," Rowen said and started laughing out loudly.
Ia got even more terrified hearing his voice and backed up with the full speed and her back soon hit the black coloured stone wall of the big garden.
Although she was more powerful than Rowen, however, her instincts told him that he is more dangerous than she expected. Her guard died in just a few seconds and not even his traces left. Even she herself can't achieve this feat with her current power.
Old Burkhart, although weaker than her, was a very experienced fighter, he could even contend against her for more than half an hour. However, this seemingly weak boy in front of her has killed the old guard in a few second.
