Chapter 116 Test!
Chapter 116 Test!
"Next, your Father fought, while I hid you away... With one last look at you, I sealed your Powers, which hid you from them... It was the most painful thing I did."
She smiled at her daughter:
"I went back to the Village, and joined your Father, who was against the idea... But how could I leave him alone? After the brutal battle we were surrounded by thousands of soldiers, but we made sure to cripple the Skull... We sacrifice ourselves, just to stop Skull, and trap them in the red realm, in the gate deep inside the Dead Sea..."
She sighed helplessly:
"Our Sacrifice was a selfless act, so no one knew about it... We're the ones who trapped the Skull, but it seems they are released. Their new ruler is a very powerful goddess, stronger than even the Child of the Sky..."
This revelation shocked Stellar.
"Even stronger than Aaron? Then how can we defeat her."
"Fufufufu... My daughter want to know something more important than your world itself... Well... You'll know after you pass your test."
"Test?" Stellar asked in mild confusion.
"Yeah, you are here so you can avenge us... And to do that, you must have your complete powers. Pass the test and you'll know the rest."
She stood up, and stretched out her hand to Stellar, helping her up.
"Come on, Now."
Before Stellar could think of anything, the surroundings instantly changed.
Whizzed!
She looked around in mild confusion, seeing she was in an Arena, made out from bones... Humans' bones... This was a whole lot different from the beautiful forest she appeared in.
"Welcome, Daughter."
Stellar looked up at the podium, seeing her mother sitting on a golden throne... Her gaze fixed on her.
"Mum? What's this about?" She asked.
"Your first Test... And I'll be your judge. I hope you can see where you're currently standing, and to past this test, you need to withstand the mind attack from your opponents."
"Opponent(S) like with the "S" behind?"
"You can say it that way... Withstand for 10 minutes, and you pass, fail... Well, you lose, and no revenge."
Stellar thought for some seconds, and nodded with a resolute determination.
"Let's start!"
"That's my girl."
She smiled, and snapped her fingers.
BOOM!!!
The whole arena trembled, and the ground cracked open.
Stellar watched in shock, as black spirits flew out from the cracks, and hovered above her.
"Come on."
Stellar channeled her energy, and sent a blast towards a spirit.
BOOM!
The Spirit shattered into smoke.
"Yes!"
Stellar exclaimed in joy: "Nine to g-- Huh?"
She was stunned, seeing the smoke merging back together, and formed the spirit.
"Your attacks are ineffective, Dear... Don't forget the test rules."
"Rules? You didn't mention any rule!" Stellar yelled.
"As you said." Her mother smiled.
Stellar turned to the spirits, and the next moment; they all shot towards her... And stopped right in front of her.
BOO!
"Huh?"
BAM!!!
Stellar shot out from the pit, falling heavily on the ground.
"Cough!! Cough!"
She coughed off the water she had swallowed, and lied down on the hill surface.
"Impressively done."
She sat up, and turned to her mother, a slight frown on her face.
"This doesn't make sense!" She stood up from the ground.
"It will... Now your third, and last test."
With a dark expression, stellar asked:
"What... Forget it, Let's get this over with." She said.
"Slow down there... In this round, you used both your brain and Endurance... That's good.... But your thinking speed is low, you'll have to work on that in the last round."
Stellar blinked in surprise: "I'm not doing anythi--"
Whizzed!!
The surroundings changed before she could complete her word.
Stellar stopped, and looked around the place. Seeing she was in a battlefield, and the unholy number of monsters before her.
"This?!" Stellar moved back in horror.
"Your last test... You have two objectives, complete any of these objectives, you win."
Her mother appeared above her. Her gaze fixed on the army.
"Your first objective, Kill at least half of this army. And your second objective: Survive for 30 minutes."
Stellar blinked a couple of times, and stared at her mother in horror.
"Mum! Why are you suffering me?!!" She yelled.
"Suffering you?" Her mother was stunned by the question.
"Yes! Why send all these monsters?! How can I fight an army, when the weakest is an Omega-stage Monster?!"
"My love... You're my beloved child, I'll never suffer you, If you put it the right way, I'm helping you pass this test... The Ancestors wanted to give you the hardest tests... But I helped you."
"The hardest?" Stellar was stunned.
"That means?" She looked at the monsters in surprise.
"Yes, If you had taken their test... The weakest here will be a Demon-stage monster."
"Ahhh!!"
Stellar was horrified... "Why would they do that?!" She asked.
"Our race are once the strongest, so they expect you to be the strongest... Oh, how did they put it; yes! "Our honor and position remained the same" yeah, that's how the old man said it."
She smiled, and added, more seriously now:
"Stellar, please don't fail this test. If you do; you are dead... This time, for real... Please, I hope you understand how important this is?"
Stellar took a deep breathe, and turned her head to the army of monsters before her... She smiled remembering her friends, and nodded at her.
"Thanks Mum! I won't fail you, and my friends!!"
BOOM!!!
An unknown amount of energy burst out from her, and a long sword appeared in hand.
"Come on."
She said with killing intent, pointing her sword at the monster.
"Attack."
With her mother's command, the monsters all shot towards Stellar.
"Our future now rests on your shoulders... Make us proud." She said in a low voice.
