Battle of Ascension

Chapter 257: The Return

Meanwhile, in a certain place, in a desert to be more exact, there was the same Stonehenge stood up. The Stonehenge itself consisted of seven weapons and a human statue.

At the center of the Stonehenge, there were two people stood side by side. A man and a woman, the man had his skin tanned with a short black hair while the woman had a white smooth skin with her long violet wavy hair fluttered.

The man was Limera, and the woman was Hermione. Despite the blazing hot sun, the hot air assaulted them, they still had the bloom smile on their face.

The two walked out from the Stonehenge, but there was a woman stood before Stonehenge. Apparently, the woman was waiting for Limera to get back.

When he noticed Limera was back, the woman in the front of the Stonehenge immediately approached Limera, but when she saw the woman beside Limera, her look darkened as the sense of foreboding assaulted her.

The woman who was waiting Limera was wearing a pure white robe with witch-like hat, she had white smooth skin, clear round black eyes, with a serene expression on her face.

When someone looked at her, they would never have a dirty mind despite having a heavenly face, but pure which calmed their mind. The same happened to Limera and Hermione when they faced the woman with a white robe.

"Oh, you are back! it's time for the deal," When the woman in a white robe spoke, the calm mind in Limera and Hermione shattered. Their mind buzzed with an unpleasant and shrill voice, shattering their calm mind.

Hermione had a shock while Limera smiled wryly, it seemed he was used to hearing the woman with a white robe's voice.

"Hermit Anna" Limera started telling what he got and experienced on Ascension World, but when Limera reached the part what he experienced, Hermit Anna waved his hand.

"I don't care what you experienced, what I want to know is what you got from Ascension World? Spit it out, what the best thing you got from Ascension World," Hermit Anna interrupted Limera with her shrill voice impatiently.

Hearing Hermit Anna's queries, Limera smiled bashfully as he glanced at the Hermione beside him, indicating the best reward he got in Ascension World was Hermione.

Even without words came out from Limera's mouth, the woman in a white robe could understand the meaning behind Limera's flushed face as he looked at Hermione.

"You You" The woman in a white robe pointed her finger right on Limera's face as her breath became hurried. Clearly, the woman in a white robe was agitated.

Looking at this, Limera could only scratch his head as he looked at the agitated woman in a white robe. As for Hermione, she had not spoken since she faced the woman in a white robe.

The woman in a white robe suppressed her agitation and asked again, "Then what about the Saint Beast? Did you kill any of them?"

Limera told her about his experience in Ascension World again, and this time the woman in a white robe didn't interrupt him, but when Limera told about Randy who chased the heavily injured dragon but didn't; the woman in a white robe became agitated again and delivered a punch at Limera.

Boom!

"Are you stupid or you just silEh!?" The woman in the white robe stopped her scolding when she found something unexpected.

The punch just now was enough to blow Limera away, but she found that she hit a metal, and the metal didn't budge despite being hit by her fist.

The woman in a white robe looked up and found what she hit was a glowing white shield, a square glowing white shield in 2 meters wide and 3 meters tall. The shield blocked her eyes to see Limera and Hermione.

The glowing white shield had an exquisite design and in the center of the shield, there was moon image. The moon was life like as the moon was glowing in the light.

"This is the reward from the main mission, right?" The woman in a white robe asked in a surprised tone.

After that, the shield size shrunk back to a round white shield, about 50 centimeters in diameter which was much smaller compared when Limera used the shield to block the woman in a white robe's punch.

The shield was really like a moon, there were two shields, and the two shields respectively in Limera's right hand and left hand.

"Good Good Good," The woman in a white robe said good three times.

"All right, I will forgive you for this time as you didn't bring me the Saint Beast, but there's a condition for that" After saying those words, the woman in the white robe brought her head closer to Limera's and whispered something in his ears.

"Deal!" The woman in a white robe said with her shrill voice, "That's what you must do to compensate me for the resource used for teleporting you. Also, the kid who chased after Evil Dragon, where he came from?"

"Asia Continent," Limera answered truthfully. He knew the woman in a white robe would not harm Randy that was why he told the woman in a white robe where Randy came from.

The woman in a white robe nodded her head, "All right, remember your promise,"

After that, the woman in a white robe's figure disintegrated into yellow sands which shocked Limera and Hermione, but they could still hear the woman's shrill voice, "Sh*t, that Old Kid strike lucky this time,"

Meanwhile, in a certain place which covered in snow, there were two people stood face to face. One was a man wearing a black cloth while the other was topless.

Behind the man with black cloth was a Stonehenge which covered in snow and the man with black cloth was David, David Oriele.

The two talked to each other, before finally, the man with black cloth said, "All right," then the man with black cloth walked away.

Looking at the man with black cloth's back walked away, the topless man shook his head in frustration.

"It's hard to talk with a cold guy like him," The topless man spoke with his rough voice.

"Hehe, but he is my hope to defeat those old things in" The topless man chuckled before his body melted with the snow.

Meanwhile, in the certain place which surrounded a huge and lush tree, there were two people roasted a meat, and behind them, there was a Stonehenge covered in moss, but the shape was still clear despite each statue being covered by green moss.

Apparently, the two had been there for a long time as there were many white bones scattered around them.

One of them was Evan, Griggs Evan. There was a spear on his back as he wore a blue armor. But his blue armor differed from the one he wore on Ascension World.

The current blue armor had irregular yellow streaks and his shoulder sometimes let out a blue lightning spark. Currently, he was chatting with the man on the opposite as they savored the roasted unknown meat.

They had a friendly smile as they chatted, they seemed familiar to each other and had an easy-going smile as they went on.

The man on Evan opposite was a middle-aged man. He had an amiable temperament, his voice also gentle which contrasted with his look.

The middle-aged man was about 2 meters tall, having a clean yet fierce face, sharp eyes, thick eyebrows, and his skin was a bit tanned.

The middle-aged man wore a brown sleeveless shirt made by the beast's hide. He found something which piqued his interest as he listened what Evan experienced in Ascension World.

"So you have met someone stronger than you? And not only one, but three?"

Evan nodded his head at first, but shook his head immediately afterward, "I'm not sure if they stronger than me as I never face them head on, after all, we are in the unknown world, so rather than fighting each other, we unite to help each other,"

As for his confrontation against David when the first time he teleported to Ascension World, it could not be considered as fighting as he and David had not used their full strength.

"But there's a person which stronger than me, I guess. Even though we never fought, but I have a hunch that he was stronger than me," Evan continued in a solemn tone.

The friendly smile on his face vanished when he said those words and he stopped chewing the meat in his mouth as he directly swallowed the meat.

"Huhu, those three are from the other three continents, right?" The middle-aged man didn't make a comment on Evan's remark but responded with his guess.

Evan not surprised when the middle-aged man guessed the other three, he nodded his head, "Yup, the other three are from the other continents,"

"I want to get a fight with them, but a pity it's not possible for the current situation. I will get busy as the phase has started," Evan shook his head in regret.

"Hehe, don't worry about it, you will get that chance later," The middle-aged let out a friendly laugh, "But if what you said is right, then you have to work harder. If I'm not mistaken, my friends have placed their bet on your friends, and I trusted my friends' eyes,"

"Bet? What bet?" Evan asked curiously.

The middle-aged man before him was the figure he could not catch up as long as he was still on earth, he admitted that since their first meeting and realized it after hearing the truth behind the Battle of Ascension from Audrey's mouth.

Also, the middle-aged man before him was the one who sent him to Ascension World, but the middle-aged man asked nothing from. But now, Evan had a vague understanding why the middle-aged man before him, Hermit Kyria helped him activated the Gateway Trial.

"Yup," Hermit Kyria nodded his head as smiled at Evan, "Nah, it's only a small bet between my friends. Now, look like my friends have placed their bet on your friends you met in Ascension World and I will place my bet on you!"

Hermit Kyria tapped Evan's shoulder.

"But consider yourself lucky to meet me. I ask nothing by sending you to Ascension World except hoping you win against them," Hermit Kyria shook his head as he remembered about his friends.

"Win?" Evan puzzled, the more Hermit Kyria spoke, the more he didn't understand what Hermit Kyria meant.

"Nah, you will know when the time comes," Hermit Kyria tapped Evan's shoulders two times and rose from his seat.

"Also, little words for you before we parting. You should work harder if you want to win against them. Trust me, hard work would never betray you,"

Hermit Kyria gave his last smile at Evan before his body disintegrated into many green leaves, disappearing from Evan's sight.

Looking at the disappearing Hermit Kyria, Evan's eyes became firmer as spirit blazed in his eyes.
