The first thing that ca into view was a distant ancient white stone forest, composed of towering white stone pillars reaching into the clouds. It is said that during the peak of the royal court, each pillar would be occupied by a mber of the Elder Council.
Now, however, less than a tenth of the seats are occupied.
Selena turned her head to look back in the direction she ca from and could clearly see the scene of the Valley of Golden Gates.
Before this trial ends, the wide-open portal will not close. Anyone can witness it, to demonstrate the ’Holy Grail’s’ fairness and strictness.
The six-sided wizards were all present, standing in tacit understanding around the white stone forest, while the Golden Gate River flowed around the stone forest. Voices, aged yet dignified, descended from each stone pillar.
"Wield the broken grail to ascend the throne, not because of your strength,
but because when all are weak, you still see the light.
Wield the broken grail to ascend the throne, not because you obtain,
but because when all seize, you...."
As these words were chanted, Selena’s restless heart gradually cald, and the two sets of Life Armor intertwined with her bloodline emitted a gentle resonant sound.
When the lengthy oath concluded, figures dressed in white robes were rising from the white stone pillars, raising their right hands in unison.
In each person’s palm, a light akin to a white torch ignited.
At this mont, everyone present looked upwards.
Amidst the summoning of radiance, a giant Holy Grail slowly erged above the stone forest, exuding an ancient and solemn aura.
The grail seed to be covered with countless runes and patterns. Before Selena could examine it closely, it silently shattered.
The ancient Holy Grail burst forth with countless milky white gentle lights, transforming into myriad crystalline fragnts, a small portion of which fell downward, propelled by a force, scattering explosively.
A palm-sized white fragnt of the Holy Grail was headed straight for Selena, and instinctively, she reached out and caught it.
At the instant her fingertips touched the grail fragnt, a vast and gentle power swiftly fused into her body, rging with her bloodline, instantly awakening the two sets of Life Armor, transforming into countless rays of light, enveloping Selena in the form of splendid armor.
Selena gripped the grail fragnt in her hand, feeling a significant enhancent of the resonance between herself and the Life Armor, her heart surged with excitent and undulation.
The Life Holy Grail is an important tool assisting the wizards of the Alba family in mastering Life Armor Power. For Selena, this trial was more than just proving her potential to the Elder Council and garnering support from the forr allies under Brother Garcia’s banner.
It was also a crucial ans for Selena to rapidly enhance her strength, as she possessed two sets of armor, the benefits she could gain from this trial far exceeded those of other heirs.
At this mont, another fragnt streaked across Selena’s field of vision like a teor, very close to her.
Selena’s beautiful eyes flashed, instinctively rushing towards the direction of that fragnt.
"Clang——"
A semi-illusory giant pendulum swept past her eyes, accompanied by the deafening sound like morning bells and evening drums, forcing Selena’s advancing steps to a halt, watching several spells collide before her, unleashing a thunderous roar, completely disturbing a void.
Looking around, no less than four Level 5 Wizards were flying quickly toward her, expressionless, their goal clearly the grail fragnt that Selena had just targeted.
"Thank you."
Selena quickly retreated and softly thanked the Destiny Pendulum Wizard Ani who had issued the tily warning.
The latter shook his head, saying, "Be careful, Your Highness, Princess, everything is just beginning."
"You’re right."
Selena took a deep breath, her fervent gaze calm once more.
"Everything has only just begun."
......
In the consciousness space, a brilliant starry sky was reflectively shining, with starlight flowing and releasing ripples.
Ronan appeared to be the master of this expanse of stars, occasionally moving his thoughts, stirring the stars, creating a breathtakingly beautiful and peculiar light and shadow transformation.
As Ronan was about to complete this deduction, suddenly, an inexplicable throbbing arose from his heart.
Soon, he naturally exited the state of ditation, the starry sky scene before his eyes quickly faded, yet not completely, replaced by pure darkness.
"Has it begun?"
Ronan unknowingly entered an indescribable, wonderful state, his thoughts exceptionally agile and pure, like a newborn longing to enter the world, basking in the maternal bed.
He heard the sound of his own heartbeat.
Soon, from the surrounding darkness ca the sound of a rhythmical pulse imbued with a mysterious cadence.
Ronan instinctively began to long for the first glimr that would pierce the darkness.
With a slight turn of his thoughts, in the consciousness space, the spiritual core, fully transford to pure white, slowly rotated like an eyeball beneath an eyelid.
"Crack—"
This movent seed to pull at sothing, a crack abruptly appeared on the surface of the pure white spiritual core.
Ronan had no ti to stop it as more cracks ford on the core, feeling like an inevitable outco.
With the rotation of the core, more and more cracks appeared, each exuding light, dispelling the surrounding darkness....
At this mont, a river of newborn joy surged uncontrollably from Ronan’s heart.
"Crack crack crack...."
The pure white core rapidly rotated, completely shattering, transforming into countless fragnts imrsing into the darkness around.
