Chapter 795: Ten Commandments
The moment Night Eye died, Souta waved his hand and canceled all the active skills around him. Blood, webs, and shadows were dispersed on the ground. Even if Night Eye tried to escape, Souta would still capture him. In [Traceless World], Night Eye couldnât hope to escape unless he killed Souta.
Killing Souta was already difficult to imagine so when his hand got sliced his hope of leaving this place alive became nonexistent. He couldnât even wield his bow properly with one hand and even if he resort to close combat he wouldnât be able to best Souta. Although Night Eye was good at close combat, it wasnât comparable to experts like Souta who mainly fight in that range.
Souta sat down on the ground and leaned his back on a boulder. He was quite tired. Fighting someone at Four Shackles Realm was too much for him. He was lucky that he had a bunch of high grade artifacts with him or else⊠He would be forced to use that.
âSaya, do you perhaps know anything about that mountain?â Souta asked as he stared at the mountain in the distance.
âHeavenâs Sealing Mountain⊠That mountain is a result of a powerful ability used to imprison different creatures. In many cases, most of the beings that are sealed beneath the mountain are powerful. Sometimes God-levels are buried below that mountain.â Saya paused for a moment before she added, âRight now, we donât have any idea about the creature beneath it but⊠Itâs probably a being at God-level as we can guess it from looking at the after effects.â
âI seeâŠâ Souta nodded. God-level was practically out of his reach right now.
He wanted to go there as soon as possible but his equipment skills were on cooldown. Plus, he needed to recover his energy and stamina too and his [Element Drive] couldnât be used at this moment. He used all of his elemental powers and without it, he wouldnât be able to use [Blood Armor].
âAt the very least, I finally knew that they are from the Hall of Power.â
Souta closed his eyes and started to focus on recovering his energy. He needed to speed up his recovery and if possible, he needed to achieve the Integration Stage of his light attribute.
Boom!!
The mountain shook once again. Right now, the entire Hall Plains was covered by a crimson-colored net. It means that no one could leave and enter the Hall Plains. A lot of people didnât even have an idea about the Mountain of Demise. They didnât know that every living being here would be sacrificed.
In short, the whole region became a sacrificial altar for the being that was buried in the Mountain of Demise.
If they wanted to leave this place, it was all to them.
Bland CityâŠ
Alice exited the underground base with Governor Ray. The aura around Aliceâs body was a bit unstable but it was several times stronger than before. She had reached Two Shackles Realm and from the looks of it, her aura was definitely stronger than ordinary Two Shackles expert.
âThereâs an emergencyâŠâ Governor Ray said. They could stay in the underground base for another three days but an emergency occurred. The appearance of the Mountain of Demise alarmed a lot of experts in the Hall Plains.
Alice and the other City Lords knew the danger of the Mountain of Demise. Even though theyâve seen it personally, they have seen it in some records. The description and the phenomenon around it matches the one that theyâve read. So they were sure that the towering mountain was in fact the real Mountain of Demise also known as Heavenâs Sealing Mountain.
Governor Ray turned his head and stared at the towering mountain. âSo they are back⊠Theyâve chosen the worse scenario for us. I need to move now.â
Alice glanced at Governor Ray. The secret in the underground base wasnât a small matter. It was a huge secret that would shock anyone.
âIs it connected to the secret beyond the Jade Door?â Alice asked.
âYeah⊠The Hall of Power, I thought that they havenât found it but it seems that Iâm wrong.â Governor Ray nodded grimly.
A few days agoâŠ
Alice was following Governor Ray on dark circular stairs. The atmosphere was eerie and heavy at the same time. She could feel that the energy in the air was getting denser and denser.
âTo think that there is such a place in this barren regionâŠâ She said inwardly. She was a little bit shocked. This place was suitable for training yet the density of energy was still increasing without stopping.
Suddenly, Governor Ray opened his mouth and asked, âHow much do you know about the history of Hall Plains?â
âI donât know⊠I just heard a few rumors saying that itâs a huge place in the past.â Alice answered truthfully.
âWell, thatâs true. A large country called the Hall of Power was once the ruler of this region. It ruled the entirety of the Hall Plains but it suddenly collapsed. The worse case is that there are almost no records of the said country. People only thought about it as myths and legends.â Governor Ray said.
âIf thatâs true then thereâs only one possible scenario⊠The other gods are involved in the collapse of the Hall of Power. Itâs not just one god. Several gods are probably involved in the incident.â Alice gave her opinion.
âYeah, gods are involved but itâs not just simple godsâŠâ Governor Ray paused as he glanced at Alice. He asked, âEver heard of the Ten Commandments of the Godâs Will?â
âThe Ten CommandmentsâŠ?â Alice narrowed her eyes.
Everyone knew the Three Bringers of Calamity. Godâs Will, Deadly Sins, and Zodiacs. They were a powerful group of gods that brought terror to the entirety of the Imperium. They were on the same level as her father. Even her father said that although he wasnât afraid of them he wouldnât carelessly offend them.
âWeâre hereâŠâ Governor Ray said.
Alice regained her senses and saw a huge exquisite door in front of her. It has a height of fifty meters and a width of ten meters. Thick chains were bound around it and on the bottom part of the door was another door of normal size.
âThis⊠So all the mana in the air are coming beyond this door?â Alice was stupefied. She couldnât imagine what sort of place lies beyond this majestic jade door.
âLetâs enterâŠâ Governor Ray said. He walked towards the jade door and pressed his palm on the side. There was a mechanism in this area so that he could enter the place safely.
Alice observed the door as she followed Governor Ray. She was curious about this. She wanted to know how it was related to the Bringers of Calamity.
When they entered the door, Alice was shocked by the density of mana. According to her estimation, it was fifty times higher than the density on the surface.
âJust what is this placeâŠ?â She muttered to herself.
The place beyond the door was simple but it was filled with all sorts of ancient runes. And there was an altar in the center of the spacious area. The altar was white and it was emitting a dim light in this dark place.
âThat isâŠâ Alice widened her eyes in shock.
âYeah, thatâs a God corpse.â Governor Ray said. âThis was the corpse of a God that ruled the Hall of Power thousand years ago. Also, heâs my ancestor.â
âYes, the ruler of the Hall of Power is my ancestor. But he had fallen because of the incident related to his son.â Governor Ray said gravely.
âEven though my ancestor had fallen a thousand years ago, his body is still here. The moment he died, the energy inside his body exploded and scattered in this place, directly increasing the density of mana. We can still use some of his blood to provide you energy but whether you handle the energy is all up to us.
We can only stay here for a week and after that, we will be forced out. The restriction here is too high. If I didnât have my ancestorâs blood flowing in my veins, we would not be able to enter this place.â
Alice nodded at Governor Rayâs words. She glanced at the corpse and asked, âHow is it connected to the Bringers of Calamity?â
Governor Ray stayed silent. It took him a while before he decided to say something, âFive Commandments have appeared here and demolished the entire Hall of Power. The allied gods and the gods from other places didnât provide any help.â
âFive Commandments?!â Alice couldnât believe what she was hearing.
The Ten Commandments were in the same organization called Godâs Will. Although they were in the same group, they didnât work together. In fact, they just bonded together because they have the same goal. They didnât have any sense of camaraderie. They wanted the so-called Four Authorities so after they achieved it, everyone guessed that each of the Commandments would fight to obtain the Four Authorities to achieve their personal goal.
They just group together because of the pressure from the large countries, great countries, and holy lands.
