Chapter 562: My Name is Roy!
After waiting for a while, Sonia appears in front of me. Seems like she has finished her discussion with the ghosts inside the hole.
“So, have you told them everything?” I asked.
“No. I just told them that you need to be stronger. You can tell them yourself. Maybe if it’s you instead of me who is also a ghost, the creator of that place will take notice and recognize the intensity of the situation. I mean the world will be destroyed after all. And you came from the future,” Sonia said.
“Fine. Have you asked them what will happen after I enter?” I asked.
“The ghosts inside will have material form and will temporarily have the power of that they used to have before they died. All of them. And during the test, you will compete with some ghosts who wants to participate in certain events,” Sonia said.
Events? Just how many things will be tested there? And why is this test needed?
But hearing that the ghosts will have material form, I feel glad. I will take this as a chance to compare my skills with Aura users of the past. If I said that the world is in danger, they should want to help me get stronger.
.....
Seems like the tree truly hide some amazing rewards. Just the chance of sparring with Aura users of the past will get me stronger. I hope.
As for the events, seems like each Aura users who entered have done different tests. It’s totally random. Maybe.
“What else have you learned?” I asked Sonia.
“Right. There’s a room deep inside that no ghosts managed to enter. Even I can’t enter there. If I force myself, I will disappear. Some says that it’s a door to where the creator of the place is resting. And there’s a rumor between the ghosts that the creator is still alive,” Sonia said.
“Is there any time limit in the test?”
“You can start when you’re ready. You can give the signal, and the event will start. But before you gave the signal, it will not start at all. And the door to enter the testing place will still be open. But once the event started, it will be locked until you die, or pass the exam,” Sonia said.
That’s good. It means I can spar with ancient Aura users before I take the test. Maybe if some of them left their precious weapon somewhere before they died, I can take them with me. This way, I might not need to look for other weapons.
After hearing about what Sonia has learned from other ghosts including her master, I prepared myself before I go.
Although I have Victoria, I still asked for some Blobbies to be prepared. They became my armor now. As for Victoria, she will be my main weapon. Though I still carry Reizpear.
“Victoria, if the danger that killed those Aura users of the past is coming, I will use portal to leave right away. But instead of leaving a Blobby here, I will leave you since you are immortal. As for the Blobbies, they can be destroyed. That’s why I will leave you there,” I said.
“I understand. I can also talk a lot with my master and other ghosts. Maybe some of them were like me, a reincarnator from another world. That would be interesting,” Victoria said.
As for the others, they also want to come to see the test. Just how bored was the creator of this place to make it into some sort of entertainment?
Well, I also can’t say anything about it since I made a competition as well. Two of them in fact. The fighting tournament in Melk, and the tournament between four countries.
And maybe, the creator of this place was similar to me. This guy has some sort of hidden intentions. I can only figure it out if I can somehow enter that locked door inside that place.
“For those who want to watch, in case I retreated, as soon as I left, I will open a portal directly to the Blobby that Kayla had. Just enter the portal immediately right away,” I said.
I don’t know what will happen if I left them behind. The ghosts said that they will still return safely. But I’m just afraid that’s not the case.
Now, I’m ready. Let’s enter the hole in my garden again and enter the door.
“We’ll split up here. If you sense something dangerous, contact me right away. Wait, is that a camera?”
I can see Kayla, Jewel, and Sara brought some cameras with them.
“Yes. Albert and the others seem interested about this. During your preparation time, I asked Sonia to inform the kings. And they want to see what’s going on,” Kayla said.
My life has became some sort of entertainment for the kings as well. And I heard that it’s common things for celebrities in Victoria’s world. I guess that makes me a celebrity.
With Reizpear in my hand and Victoria on my shoulder, I entered the door to the testing ground.
The door won’t be locked until I start the event. So, I let it stay open. And soon enough, a ghost approached me.
“Welcome to the testing ground of Aura Master. Once you passed through all the tests, you will no longer be an ordinary Aura user. But you can call yourself as Aura Master!”
Not Aura user but an Aura Master? Does that mean everyone who died here are not strong enough to be Aura Master? Sonia didn’t explain it to me.
“Oh, master! It’s been a while!” Victoria on my shoulder greeted the ghost.
“Victoria? You really are a slime now! It was shocking for me to hear that you’re a reincarnator and became a slime after you died. And this guy, Roy, is your disciple, right? That makes me his grand master. Roy, you don’t need to call me grand master. Just call me by my name, Clarence!” Victoria’s master said.
...Clarence? Seriously?
“What’s wrong? My name is amazing, right?” Clarence was confused why we’re speechless.
“...Yes, it was a great name,” I replied.
“This is actually the first time I ever heard what your name is. I bet Sonia doesn’t know either, or she should have some sort of reaction when she heard that name,” Victoria added.
“What? What’s wrong with my name?” Clarence asked.
“Nothing. It’s just the same stage name that I used when I performed as a clown in circus. I used it because it’s a good name,” I said.
“Clarence is known for being an amazing clown instead of Aura user nowadays,” Victoria said.
Clarence was angry at how I used that name. Well, that’s something I didn’t know after all. It’s also his fault to not telling his disciples his name.
“Anyway, what’s this about Aura Master?” I asked.
“Oh, it’s just something that people call the strongest Aura user in the distant past. And this is a testing ground for that,” Clarence said.
So it’s nothing really important. Just a title. Like how Angela became the strongest in the continent. Even though she hasn’t fought every single mages on the world.
And to become one, I need to pass the test instead of fighting Aura users? That’s just weird.
Well, the title maybe useless, but the things I can learn in this place should be plenty.
“I heard that you can have material form after I entered. Why are you still a ghost?” I asked Clarence.
“Because you haven’t entered the testing ground yet. Come on, everyone is waiting for the next Aura user to enter this place after so long. By the way, I’m the youngest here. That’s why it’s my duty to guide the newcomer. Be respectful to the others, okay?” Clarence said.
It seems like Sonia really didn’t told him or any of the ghosts about the fact that the world is in danger. From the start, he acted so casually. I guess Sonia really wants me to be the one to tell everyone.
Maybe I should bring a TV so the ghosts can see Albert and hear everything from him. Well, I can just use portal to find Albert if I need to.
Anyway, can ghosts be seen in TV? That’s a big question.
I can see it. Although it’s a bit blurry, I can see the inside of the testing ground with my Divine Vision. And it looks just like an arena where we used for the competition. Though it’s much bigger. I can also see Kayla, Angela, and the others in the audience seats.
But what’s different is the stage. Unlike the other arenas I have entered before, I see many tools that I don’t recognize at all. They must be the things that will be used for the tests.
I also can see many ghosts waiting for me to enter. It really feels like I’m a celebrity. Someone famous who had people waiting for just so they can see me closely.
There’s a door connected to the testing ground. When I opened it and enter the door, Clarence who was a ghost turned into a human. A powerful-looking human.
The other ghosts also turned into humans. With the exception of Sonia who is not a ghost stuck in this place.
Though from her reaction, it seems that she hoped to have a material body like the other ghosts.
They were about to greet me, but I made the first move. With air magic to make my voice louder, everyone could hear me.
“My name is Roy! The only Aura user left in the world! And I came from the future to prevent the world destruction!”
All the ghosts who were excited were flabbergasted hearing what I said. Since Sonia didn’t say anything, they must be shocked to hear that there is no other Aura user left in the world.
And to prevent the world’s destruction, I will need their guidance to be stronger. I hope there’s no evil Aura user here who doesn’t care if the world is destroyed or not. Even if they have died a long time ago, they should be interested in saving the world, right?
