Chapter 182 Sneaky Bastard!!!

182 Sneaky Bastard!!!

BANG!!

The puppet's head immediately exploded as Zeras flashed a mocking smile at Andrea who looked as if he had just lost his soul.

"I don't dare? Who's gonna stop me? That puny puppet by your side which is obviously the weakest or your weak strength. It might really send the chill down the spine of anyone if they were ganged on by five puppets at the same stage as them but face the fact, Andrea. Your puppets have a great fatal flaw and that's that they act in completely the same way all the time.

Not only do you lose the people's genetic ability when you turn them into puppets, but you also lose their combat experience. They only know to jump up and slash. To a real fighter, your puppets are child plays no matter how plenty they are..." Zeras said but he already disappeared from where he stood and then,

SLASH

The last puppet was immediately sliced into two from top to bottom as its two sides fell on the opposite ground.

Now he was directly in front of Andrea who was looking at him as if he was a ghost.

'He really decimated them all, all my life...'

"Any last words?" Zeras asked emotionlessly as he looked at Andrea.

"Hahahahahah..." Andrea suddenly began laughing like a maniac as Zeras raised an eyebrow.

"Do you really think trash like you can take away my life..." Andrea asked mockingly as Zeras immediately slashed out his sword but was sent reeling backwards as his leg dug into the ground drilling deep gorges into it.

Looking back at Andrea, he could see he was in a strange blue barrier with hundreds of runic lines.

"Don't think you won, Zeras. You might have destroyed all my puppets but once you realize what this place truly is, then you'll understand you only helped me.

When next we meet will be the time you die..." Andrea said bringing out a card from his sleeve.

SLASH

A devastating blade light flashed through the world with speed clashing heavily on the barrier as it immediately ripped it apart and cleaved towards Andrea's neck with speed.

"What a strange setting..."Zeras muttered as he noticed it was like all the statues were worshipping whoever it was that walked on the bridge.

It was supposed to show some sign of respect or something but it didn't make sense to Zeras for the statue to bow to a trial tester who had not even passed the trail yet.

As if in reply to his thoughts, the voice immediately echoed out:

"Welcome to Mountain Gate. Complete the test and rise to the heavens in a single step to fail the test and be one of the statues, forever in worship and reverence to the pagoda..." The voice rang out as Zeras felt a chill down his spine, giving a second look at the statues.

"So this was past trial takers," Zeras asked in shock.

His brain walked full speed as he seriously thought of it. With so many statues, it already signified just how difficult the test truly is and the thought of him becoming one of the statues made his heart grow cold.

"Do you accept or reject the trial?" The voice thundered out as Zeras looked at the statues and then the golden door of the pagoda before taking a deep breath in.

"I accept the challenge..." He said out loud in conviction.

"Congratulations. You're the tenth person to accept the challenge and avoid the sure faith of immediately turning into a statue at the first trial..." The voice said out loud as Zera's eyeballs almost popped out of his eyes.

The question was the first trial and a no would have meant becoming one of the statues. Just who was it that created such a system?

Firmly affirming himself, Zeras took the first step forward as he walked on the red bridge, with his head held high and his chest raised as hundreds of statues bowed their heads to him.

But why did he still choose to partake in the trial even though it was most likely a death sentence?

It was because of his goal. His path up to now has been on growing stronger to take his revenge and he could hear from the pagoda that he could rise in a single step once he completed the trail.

This might be the only opportunity in the world to quickly gain the strength to achieve his goal to quell the burning hatred in his heart so Zeras was willing to partake in the test even if the fate was becoming a stone forever or dying to the trial.

He'd prefer dying on the path to achieving his goals than regretting not having grabbed hold of the opportunity.

This was Zera's conviction. To achieve or die trying to!
