The day of the Guild War has finally arrived and each of the guilds waited at their guild house. The Fallen Knights fifty members are already clad in their suits of armor and brandished their weapons. The Pantheon are happily chatting while they are talking about possible scenarios.
As soon as the time of the guild war has been met, the mediator appeared to them inside their guild houses. The mediator then created a portal via hitting a golden apple on the ground to grow a golden gate. All of the guilds entered the golden gate as they knew that the other side would be the Holy Sanctum Arena.
The Holy Sanctum Arena is a special arena that invokes the rights of gods and goddesses. If the performance of an individual catches any of their attention, then the gods or goddesses could give that player a trial to become their envoy of champion. This is the hidden mechanic of the Challenge Scroll which is why it is very difficult to get.
The Holy Sanctum Arena is quite exquisite in structure as it is a white marbled colosseum. It is also floating above golden clouds with the inside being eternally bright due to the small artificial sun on the sky. The rails of the seats could be seen made of gold and ivory with flags of major gods littered around the walls.
The arena is made of the same white marble, but everyone knows that it must be orichalcum mixed with something to make such a color. A stadium in the divine realm is not something that could easily break with the might of mortals. Only a demigod or gods can attempt to destroy the arena, but the smithing gods will beg to differ as they made it indestructible even for gods.
What caught the eye of the players are the actual gods that are seated inside the Holy Sanctum Arena. They did not expect that the gods were going to be spectators and their number does not seem to be in the low side. There have been Challenge Scrolls used when it was first found but the number of gods watching there were only the gods of war and the Goddess of Justice as an overseer.
"Why are there a lot of gods? Last time there were only the twenty gods of war that watched. How come there are like hundreds of them. They even brought what looks like their generals. It is a bit intimidating now because of their presence." Mord whispered towards Dame.
"Do not look intimidated because the gods are already judging us as soon as we entered this arena. This would be better as there could be one among the hundreds that might get interested in at least one of our members. The reason for their large attendance should just be ignored and we should be happy that there are lots of them." Dame replied but she actually knows why there are a large number of gods in attendance.
The reason for the gods and goddesses having attended the match is due to the people on the other guild. The opposing team have members that are special to gods like a champion and an envoy which means the other gods would definitely be interested in them. It might not look like it, but the Gods of Pandemonium are not harmonious because they are looking for ways to gain the authority of the other.
"There are a lot of gods and goddesses, but I do not see anyone that is on our side. I can feel their judging eyes piecing through my body as if looking for a weakness." Levin Cloud stated as he could feel the gazes of multiple gods at him.
"You think you are the only one that is feeling the immense stares? If looks could kill, then I will be turned to dust right about now. I can feel the irritating gazes of those gods and goddesses over there." Adrian stated as he pointed his lips towards the area where he could feel the gazes filled with bloodlust.
The gazes that are filled with bloodlust came from the gods of light that are under the Goddess Luminaria. It seems that their main goddess has yet to arrive or is not going to come which is why they carried her animosity with them. Adrian already felt their sharp gaze the moment he exited the golden door that the mediator has created.
One could also know that they are the gods and goddesses of light because of how pompous and snarky their attitude towards those that entered are. It also helps that they shine like a glowstick under the sun. If it was night, then they might glimmer like an overpriced light bulb. Cool or pretty looking but basically just a light bulb in the end.
Since the broadcast for the other team already started the moment that the Fallen Knight guild entered, they have started to look proper and pristine. They wanted to look good in video which is why their normal habits are not appearing or showing since they wanted to make a good impression. Their performance here could affect the reputation of their guild after all.
Actually, it was not only them that are broadcasting their side of the fight because Adrian and the others were broadcasting as well. They agreed to the broadcast because of one thing and that is the fact that Levin Cloud's mother was the one that reached out to them. She recently got promoted to producer in the broadcasting station that she is working on, but it was for the Gaming Department that she had little great knowledge of.
Thankfully, her son that has started bringing in the dough from his gaming is an expert on this. She said that she was ordered to get broadcasting rights from one of the players in the Fallen Knights guild if possible since that is all the rave about the gaming community. When she asked her son, he said that he would also be in that fight. She did not expect that her son would be the luckiest star that she will ever have.
