Chapter 177 Chapter 177:Third Ordeal

Inside The Tower.

Standing on a small peak, Julian glanced ahead with a solemn expression.

Till now, 103 students had managed to reach the Third floor and Julian was sure that things were on the last round.

She clenched her fist to suppress nervousness for an unknown reason.

'Where is he?'

'Did he got eliminated?'

Julian frowned thinking about this but she shook her head.

'I should believe in him. He wouldn't fall for cheap tricks of the Tower.'

Julian's uneasy heart relaxed a bit.

"Arghh!"

Julian's mind was jolted awake by a scream.

"What happened?"She asked curiously.

"Nothing, it's just your expression, it's quite weird, President."An orange-haired girl spoke with a pale expression as if she had seen a ghost.

Julian turned towards Lara, The Head of the Law Enfoncer Department and tilted her head in confusion.

"Why are you making a face like that?"

Lara took a step back and placed her hand over her chest and patted to calm herself.

"This is the first time I have seen the President's worried expression. If I hadn't seen it, I would have never imagined that our cold icy President could make such an expression."Lara murmured while running her mind to sneak a few pics of Julian, however her life was dearer.

She can't risk her life just for some meagre pic.

"It seems our President is thinking about someone."

A cold arrogant voice heard from behind.

Julian and Lara glanced at the whitish albino boy with orange fiery eyes as if he was going to burn the world.

Julian raised her chin and her eyes became cold.

"So, what if I am thinking about someone? Do I need your permission?"

"When did I say that? I am just interested in that fellow."Issac spoke with an elated smile and walking towards Julian, gave a gentle blow.

"May I have the honour to know about that person?"Issac muttered, flicking his hair and putting his hands inside his pockets.

The air seemed to freeze suddenly and Lara's back tingled with goosebumps seeing two invisible pairs of hot and cold air clashing one another.

Issac's fire elemental bloodline seemed to be churning and clashing against Julian's cold ripples creating a layer of mist.

'That guy is burning in jealousy.'Lara closed her lips.

Everyone in the noble circle knew that Issac had been pursuing Julian since childhood but Julian had never given any damn about any boy let alone Issac or any Prince of some other Empire but a few months ago, she took a secretary who was a boy.

This naturally caused a heated discussion and many even planned to harm him and inquire about him but all of them were struck by Julian.

She ruthlessly stepped over their intention and warned that if anyone dared to have plans about dealing with Lucas, she wouldn't hesitate to kill and specifically declared that she would strike Isaac first if Lucas was hurt.

Things had calmed down since then.

However, she knew that this protection was temporary and everyone was just waiting for a chance of Julian's absence.

Just as Julian and Issac confronted one another with a piercing gaze, a loud cry snapped them out.

"I don't want to be here. I am the Head?of the Financial Department nor any Fighting Department so why do I have to guard this place."

Under everyone's gaze, a pink-haired boy cried pitifully.

"Mogan, you stop pretending? You are a 6-Star warrior but you look like a small feminine boy that is bullied."

"That...Still, it's bad."Mogan's words stuttered and swayed his body to display his feminine charm and averted his face with a shy expression.

Disgusted by such a sight, Issac turned his gaze.

"Poor lambs....Lazing around not knowing about the cruel future awaiting upon them."

A grumbling voice falls on everyone's ears.

Beside Lara sitting on a small boulder, a green-eyed boy had a deadpan expression as if he had lost everything in his life and kept muttering with lost eyes.

"Since you are going to die, why dont you just kill yourself instead of wasting time and interfering with sleep."

"Brother Ian, what are you talking about?"Mogan spoke, waving her head and took gentle steps towards Ian.

"I am warning you. Don't come here. I am into the same gender. Smelling that female perfume and seeing your face covered in foundation, is giving me insomnia."Ian cursed and shook his hand to shoo away Mogan.

"Wuuuu.....Wuu.....Wu...Brother Ian scolded me."

"Brother Ian is cured."Mogan cried, swaying his hips and covering his eyes.

Julian massaged her forehead seeing Mogan character. If not for his being good at handling and managing financial reports and keeping track of people who displace the fund, who knows what would be his future.

For such a guy, as a human being, she can only pray for his well-being. n0Velusb.C0m

"Stop this melodramatic farce. Mogan, be a man. And Ian, stop using your venomous tongue. This year the students are quite good. Can't you see the 100 students on the floor which is much more compared to previous years."Lara intervened and hit Ian's head.

Ian clicked his tongue and then stared at the students pitifully.

"Lara, it seems you have a memory problem. Don't know what happens, if qualifying students reach the mark above 100."

As soon as he spoke, the atmosphere turned sombre.

"They have to take on the boss monster," Ian murmured, caressing his head where Lara hit him again for mocking her.

"They will overcome this, "Julian said, turning her gaze.

"In your dreams," Issac snickered and folded his arms behind his back while giving a noble look.

"The only reason we manage to overcome that is because of my fire element and Julian's ice elemental bloodline power. Our coordination was immaculate, don't you think Julian."Issac smiled showing his white teeth that were enough to make any girl lose her senses.

Julian glaring at him sharply, turned around and answered sharply.

"It's useless to argue with idiots who think the world is a mirror that only reflects them."

Staring at Julian's graceful back, he clenched his fist tightly while keeping his smiling face.

Seeing that face, Lara massaged her forehead as if only God knows what this guy is thinking.

.....

"When will this start? I am tired of waiting."Helena grumbled and flipped her legs soaking in the great lake water at one end of the floor.

"Instead of complaining, why don't you imitate others."Rose cut her sharply while shooting her emptied bow to familiarise herself.

"You should watch and learn from Monica, "Tiffany spoke while juggling five hatchets.

"Monica..."Tilting her head in confusion, Helena looked around and finally saw Monica, her jaw dropped wide.

"Did she draw all that?"Helena screamed in disbelief seeing many flattened rocks cut from the boulder engraved with many layers of magic circles.

"What use is doing all this? Since we have time to relax we should relax..."

Before she could finish her sentence, an air shot from Rose hit her, throwing her into the water.

"Rose!"Helena roared angrily while fapping her hands in the lake to get up to the shore.

...

"Tsk!"

"I can't believe I gave such an opportunity to Lucas."

"Damn!"Parth cursed sorrowfully, thinking about Lucas working with Julian.

He had seen Julian only two times however that one look of her was enough to stun him.

Thinking about Lucas sitting in the same room and breathing the same air as Julian, Parth's heart explodes in jealousy.

"Damn!Damn!Damn!"

Pitiful Parth with nothing to vent on kicked the hard ground.

"Huh! What did he mean?"Charles asked, pointing at Parth's weird action.

"Nothing, he just wanted to mess with Lucas but got his ass kicked."Roan waved his head.

"Why the hell are you commenting on me getting beaten?"Parth glared at Roan.

"Did you not know?"Roan's voice squirmed, thinking about the pranks played by Parth recently.

"Enough guys, calm down."Frederick raised his head to stop them bickering.

"Are you guys always like this?"Helena's voice disrupted their words.

Parth raised her brows, staring at Helena in half wet clothes and remembering the scenario that transverse a moment ago, he sneered, "At least, we are not like you girls who behave as sisters in the open while stabbing each other back in secret."

As soon as his words fell, Frederick, Charles and Roan made a hell of a run to avoid getting hit.

"You..."

"What did you say?"

Many disgruntled voices filled with anger started to erupt one after another as Parth's words were heard by the girls around.

"That's why you are still single."

"And he will also die as a single dog."

"Since we stab each other, you better not propose or marry any girl in future."

"Tsk...Do you think any girl will like that face that looks like a thief."

"He talks too much."Tiffany who stood at the back muttered non-chantilly while giving Charles a deep stare who made an innocent look signifying that he didn't have anything to do with this.

"Humphrey, stay away from this guy," Monica hit her small staff on Humphrey while warning him.

'I am not even his friend.'Humphrey grumbled inwardly while carrying the rocks used by Monica to study spells.

Parth wanted to use his sharpened words to butcher everyone but he was cut in the middle by Ordeal's helper voice.

Swoosh!

With a flicker, a person teleported to the third floor after which a robotic chime echoed.

[The last participants had entered the third stage.]

[The qualifying participant's number had gone beyond 100 and the hidden requirements are triggered.]

[A hidden scenario is added to the Third Ordeal.]

[A special scene will be released after 15 minutes after the start of the Battle Battle Royal.]

[Changing the surroundings.]

[Positioning the participants.]

[Commencing Third Ordeal Battle Royal in 10 seconds.]

Everyone frowned on hearing this as the Battle Royal started the moment the last person entered.

Frederick's eyes popped out of the socket seeing the person.

"Holyshit!Isn't that Lucas?"Parth and others gasped heavily seeing the familiar back.

"What's with that look?"Roan shouted, seeing Lucas's dead eyes, looking as if he had seen a ghost.

Soon, the ground trembled and the students started getting pulled out by an invisible force.

Except for 3rd Year students, who were acting as supervisors, everyone present there underwent a mystical feeling.

Their body became lighter as they were carried by the force without any way to resist. They have been thinking about ways this last stage would occur and some had even planned to find hiding spots to hide and persist till the end but it seems they had underestimated the Tower too much as it picked them and put them before another participant signifying that you can't hide.

[5...4...3...2...1...]

[Begin]

Ezekiel's eyes lit up after he got placed in a new position.

"It seems, even the heavens are on my side. Today, no one's gonna stop me from killing you."

"Heheheheh!"

Letting out an eerie smile seeing the familiar back, Ezekiel darted towards the figure.

......

"I am not feeling well."

"My head is becoming blank."

Currently, Lucas's mood was at its worst.

Unfamiliar questions to unasked questions had always haunted him. The Trial had messed up his mind putting him in inner turmoil.

'I don't know if the death that Frederick spoke about is of mine or that of the real Lucas.'

Frederick had no prior meeting with Lucas in the original book, and even when he fought in the war, he had his own team that partake in a mission and Lucas wasn't in it.

For him to know Lucas and speak with a saddened expression, only means he knew him quite well, which can only be explained if he was talking about the current timeline and it was his own death that was foreshadowed.

Being an artifact made by God, The Tower of Miracles had the power to cast future scenarios for better preparation so there is no doubt of it being faked unless someone interfere.

"I should have asked him about how I died."

Lucas, who was lost in his thoughts, was snapped out of his thoughts by a menacing roar coming from behind.

Turning abruptly, he swung his sword as if it had been ingrained in his instinct which was followed by a large ripple creating a small shock.
