Chapter 589: 11.115 First Green Star – Punishment World: ‘Purgatory’ (12)
The interior of the colosseum is simple. A central stage surrounded by hellfire and an audience seat full of different kinds of races. All players were asked to gather at the arena as some audiences were observing them with gleeful eyes. Some of them were wearing ancient-style clothing, and fantasy setting uniforms and some were even bare with inhuman parts showing like their claws, long nails, long ears, horns, and such.
A world announcement was suddenly heard,
PING PONG
{Welcome to the last trial of the Punishment World. Players who had gathered in this arena were chosen ones who were given a chance to return to Abyssal city. Sadly, there is only one Return Scroll. It can only bring back one person or one team.
Hehehe~ that’s why we need this last trial. A Battle Royale, a free for all fight. This trial would only stop when there is only one team or one person alive on the stage.
Be careful sometimes the audience from the Empyrean Domain would get involved from time to time to get a few people or massacre some groups but it is not against the rules so good luck.
Missions:
.....
(Main): Kill everyone aside for your own or your group and end the last trial.
Side missions:
– Kill people from the Empyrean Domain
Rewards:
(Main): Return Scroll and 1,000,000 gold coins.
(Side Mission): Everything that the killed Demigod and Fake Gods possess after death. (This includes the body, soul, and their assets.)
Hahaha~ The free for all fight may now begin.}
DING DONG DING...
As soon as the permission to kill was given the players had started a massacre of their own. Those who were caught in surprise died on the spot while the others who were prepared were able to dodge in time. Chaos had descended inside the arena.
There is even a commentator demon holding a microphone announcing a few scenes in the arena.
[Kekeke~ The situation in the arena had become a chaotic mess. Blood and flesh flew all around the arena. Murder and killing scatter all over the stage. Hahaha~ exciting! There are currently 3 main groups. The second and third ranks are currently surrounding the first ranked group while the solo players were fighting on their own at the sideline. It seems that the other groups decided to target the strongest team. Would they be able to kill them or would they get themselves killed? This is a question of life and death. We couldn’t see the bosses of the first ranked group, did they not come? Or maybe they are already hiding within the arena waiting for their prey? Hehehe]
The audience was squabbling and hushing at the side benches. There are even races glaring at the first ranked teams wanting to kill them themselves. This race is the pureblood spirit race Ye Xiajie had its descendants massacred in the Hell Labyrinth.
At the location where Pureblood Spirit race seats.
A demigod state fairy spoke, “Aren’t they that group? Did they truly kill our descendants!?”
“They don’t look that strong. Plus, the one who killed our descendants is not there. I heard it was Player Abyss, the top-ranked player who did it.”
“Even if he is a top-ranked, second or whatever number he is. He must be killed. How could he touch our children!!?”
“Do you want to interfere now? I disagree. Don’t you see them getting targeted at the very beginning? Let’s watch first.”
“Ugh~ fine! I’ll watch for a bit.”
At the seats of the Angel Race...
“I feel pure energy coming from that group at the center. The aura of a Valkyrie.”
“Who is it?”
“That one... The player is in a doctor’s robe. He might be the lover of the second ranker, Player Reaper.”
“Did the Reaper help him gather resources!? Or else he wouldn’t awaken a Valkyrie Bloodline of such perfect quality.”
“Archangel Ming, go and get that player Lan She for our Angel race.”
“As you wish, Seraphim Xu. Archangel Ming is leaving, please excuse this one rudeness.” said the mentioned Archangel.
This Archangel’s appearance would be something Qi Yun would be familiar with. As he used to be a player who was once called Ming Liang.
But Ming Liang’s original features are not the same as what this Archangel possesses. When he was just a human, he possessed black hair and black eyes as all Asian people have.
In his Archangel form, his black hair turned long, swaying behind his back and instead of a dark color, it is now gold as if his hair itself was dyed in golden light itself. His eyes were dazzling as the sun, it emits a light gold glow with those silver irises. His presence emits a sacred and holy feeling. On his back is three pairs of white feather wings, these two pairs of wings show his identity as an archangel.
While his aura itself was made from the light essence which suits his identity as an Archangel. But on his handsome face is an indifferent gaze as if looking down upon mortals who could only look up to him as a messenger of the heavens.
[A/n: number of wings of an angel signifies their standings.
One: Ordinary Angel
Two: Principalities
Three: Dominions
Four: Archangel
Five: Thrones
Six: Cherubim
Seven: Valkyrie
Eight: Seraphim
Own listing based on nothing.]
With two pairs of white feathered wings on his back, Archangel Ming left the audience seat and flew above the arena. He was waiting for a chance to grab Lan She in the group.
On the other hand, that hidden threat Lan She had felt observing their team before is now watching the whole scene in the colosseum. While holding a wine jar in his hand and gulping it without a care of spilling this person covered in a cloak was watching the scene at the arena.
His eyes were of course on Han Ya and his team.
“This is quite amazing. Those little pureblood bugs (Spirit Race) wanted to kill them. I wanted to see who slaughtered those bugs’ descendants but it seems that person is not around. Isn’t this group supposed to have ten members? Two are missing.
Plus, that young man with unknown strength who noticed me peeking had awakened those white-feathered bird wings War Angel bloodline. That itself is amazing but... that is not for him to be able to notice this old man...
Interesting~ how many surprises this little group of humans can give this old man? Hehehe~”
In the arena, Han Ya and his group were surrounded before they could even split up. The other groups who were weaker than them are all surrounded making their group the sole target of these groups. Though the team didn’t expect this, they still weren’t scared by this situation.
Chu Mo whistled at the scene and said, “Wow~ our team is too popular~”
“They wanted to eliminate the strongest team first before fighting for the spot in the championship,” said Yu Suya.
Zane asked, “Do we look weak enough to succumb in group fights!?”
“Unfair! Using numbers to pressure us!? Hmph! This lady will show you hell!?” said Qi Lanyu who jumped on the surrounding group and started killing. Her lover, of course, had jumped with her to protect her back.
Qi Yun said, “It seems we can’t split up unless we kill these guys. Should we do it?”
“Let’s go.”
Han Ya and An Yuan nod their heads as they join the side where Zane had started a fight, Chu Mo was grinning like he didn’t seem to have any plans of getting involved while his lover, Lan She, remains calm as he looks at the audience seats who were emitting murderous intent directed at their team.
Lan She said, “Go ahead. We will be on standby until those Demigods and fake gods are involved. We will protect you guys from above.”
“Don’t worry about dying ba~ you already know why~?” said Chu Mo.
Chu Mo and Lan She awakened their bloodlines. One with four pairs of black feathered wings on his back while the other had seven white feather wings. It was the Fallen and Valkyrie bloodlines this couple possessed. Showing this bloodline was enough to leave the other players in awe, especially those who could recognize it.
“Divine Grade Bloodlines. The Fallen and Valkyrie. It’s the Fallen and Angel Race’s purest bloodlines!!!” a player exclaimed.
“They have divine grade bloodlines!!? As expected of the top-ranked group!!!”
“Can we still fight them!?”
“Shut up! There are many royal grade bloodlines in our teams!!!”
Qi Yun and his group who heard about their enemies having royal bloodlines could almost stop laughing.
Qi Yun spoke, “Do you think you’re the only ones with royal grade bloodlines?”
In these words, the Qi siblings and Yu Suya had also Awakened their bloodlines. Two of them are sirens and one is a mythical beast known as the white tiger.
“Sirens? Sirens are only rare grade bloodlines, right? But how come these two mermaids don’t look the same as the normal ugly sirens I know.”
“The crown symbols on their forehead. Are they purebloods? Impossible! All purebloods live in the Empyrean Domain!!”
“I heard those with pureblood lineage regarding their race are all Royal Grade bloodlines. Are they the Prince and Princess of the Mermaid Race!!?”
[A/n: Though Sirens and Mermaids are different in this story I considered them the same. So don’t mind the details too much.]
“Idiot! Look at that Mythical Beast instead. She is also a pureblood. Her bloodline strength could almost reach Divine grade...”
“Mythical Beast can reach Divine Grade strength? Impossible! Aren’t Mythical Beasts only at Royal grade!?”
“They could if they received enlightenment and awakened once again. They would be bestowed a king symbol like those Pureblood Mermaids and become a Mythical Beast with divinity. These are Demigod ranked beasts.”
“Oi. Oi. Look at her forehead. It’s glowing!! Is that a crown symbol?”
“This is... No way!!! A White Tiger who awakened Divinity. This is a Demigod Mythical Beast bloodline possessor. We couldn’t defeat them after all...”
.....
Qi Yun and Qi Lanyu started controlling the water that was summoned when they awakened their bloodline. They joined in the fight and started drowning their enemies. Most of those players died instantly as they drowned. Strong-willed ones were able to bear it but were instead electrified by Yu Suya as soon as they were freed from water prison.
Zane and the rest were fighting without using their bloodlines. They wanted to take this chance to split with the group and look for Sylvie. After all, An Yuan said that Sylvie is indeed in this colosseum but Han Ya and An Yuan did not tell Zane how they got such information. It was already enough that they were willing to help him.
Chu Mo and Lan She were observing the fight from the sky and were flirting. Well, it was more of Chu Mo flirting with his lover while Lan She let him be. The scene of a Fallen hugging a Valkyrie’s waist from behind left the Pureblood Angel Race and Fallen Race embarrassed at the scene. The Demon Race was enjoying the scene in that they’ve started taunting the other two races.
A demon said, “Hahaha~ to think I would see a fallen and an angel being chummy with each other, life is indeed full of surprises.~”
“Tsk! What an embarrassment!? Why did those two awaken a light and dark bloodline and be lovers!? This is insane!!!” said a fallen person.
An angel with a dark expression commanded, “Separate those two rude beings! An angel shall never copulate with a fallen or a demon!!”
“Kekeke~ is that Valkyrie even from your race!? Unfortunately, he is still an unbounded angel. Same as that Fallen. You guys had no right to make decisions for them. Aren’t you~?” said the demon.
The fallen angel shouted, “Mind your own business, (bastard) demon!!!”
“That Valkyrie would be ours. Seraphim Xu had sent someone to invite him! Hmp!” said the angel.
Meanwhile, the fallen race had also sent someone to invite Chu Mo. It was a beautiful vampire from the blood family who upgraded to a fallen race.
“Duke Sylvie, I would like it if you could invite that Player known as Reaper to our race. He is the second-ranked strongest player in the whole Abyssal World. You may bring as many people from our race to invite him.”
The Vampire Duke named Sylvie spoke, “What to do if he declined the invitation, my lord?”
“Then do the usual. Get him to come with you regardless of his decision.”
“As you command, My Lord!” said Duke Sylvie as he turned into a blood mist moving away from the audience area to the sky where Chu Mo and Lan She is.
Seeing this the demon race couldn’t help but speak up as they laughed out loud.
“Hahaha~ An Archangel and A Duke class blood member? hm~ I wonder if they would be enough though~ interesting! This group is indeed a box of treasure~~” said the high-ranking demon whose eyes wander on Han Ya, Zane, and An Yuan’s figure below. His crimson eyes glow in excitement and anticipation. After all, he could smell the purest aura of demons that is much stronger than his to this weak-looking human player called Han Ya.
“I wonder what are the bloodlines you guys possess, heh~?” murmured the high-ranked demon from the audience seat.
