Chapter 280 - Overthrowing All Challenges!
Pill Emperor and the sixth Lord behind him didn't have any intention of telling the truth to Wine Lord. Why? He was so drunk that they feared he might take it as an insult and attack them without thinking twice. Now, all of them were mentally sound, and they didn't want to help someone just to get embroiled in trouble.
Pupper Lord turned away from Wine Lord and looked at the other people who were complaining that he made the second challenge too hard. He said in a calm voice, "Ahem! You guys have misunderstood me. As long as they realize the intention behind the second challenge and work as a team, they will be able to unlock all of the locks and open the gate. If they overlooked even that, then they deserve to fail. Don't you guys also think so? Eh?"
By the time Puppet Lord finished his words, no one was giving a damn about him. He felt that something was wrong as everyone's eyes were threatening to pop out of their sockets, and they stood so still and silent that he nearly mistook them for his puppets.
"What's wrong? Why are you all like that?" Puppet Lord blinked his eyes at them in bewilderment.
"Look there, and you will understand."
Pupper Lord looked in the direction where Sword Lord's forefinger was pointing, and what he saw left him endlessly shocked.
Elliot failed to open the gate just like he thought.
But in turn, he uprooted the hell's gate from the ground and fucking overturned it!
"Monster! He is a monster!" Puppet Lord exclaimed as his eyes turned to complete rounds.
"He is more like a devil!" The Pill Emperor and the other six lords gulped.
Elliot stood a step away from the gate that was now horizontal to the ground, slightly confused. He didn't know whether he had passed or not. Because according to common sense and what the Pill Emperor said, they needed to open the gate and enter the academy's ground. He could enter the academy group, true, but it would be through stepping over the gates!
"Brother God, I don't think we've enough time to think about it. Many people are already at the 990th step." Thomas Shelby said.
He believed that Elliot was no ordinary man.
Actually, after seeing Elliot overturning a giant ass gate that he couldn't even budge, he already labeled Elliot as a God, a being who had long transcended his mortal shell.
"Let's go and see what happens." Elliot knew he couldn't wait any longer, so he stepped over Hell's gate and charged towards the main building. He moved so fast that he left Thomas Shelby in the dust. But Thomas didn't hate him for that and hurried to reach the destined location himself.
This place was amazing. Formation Emperor had hidden it behind an invisible barrier, making it impossible for anyone who hadn't set foot beyond Hell's gate to witness its beauty. There were six floating islands, and in the center of them was a palace-like building. It stood in mid-air with no support beneath it. Only the creator knows how it was hovering over the ground. Each island had a different style and various buildings. A somewhat frozen, somewhat watery lake swirling beneath the sky connected the six islands and the hovering palace.
The third challenge was extremely hard. Who created it? It was the greatest sadist in this place, the formation emperor. He added uncountable traps in his place. Casually stepping here and there would result in the activation of an electric field that can paralyze a person or the opening of a wormhole that can suck in a person and teleport him back to the base of the mountain.
It was hard, too hard!
But Elliot was going through this place so quickly that he made it seems like he was taking a stroll through the park. He was moving so obnoxiously fast that although he was activating dozens of traps along the way, none of them managed to catch up to him.
By the time the electric field got generated, he was already ten meters away from its range.
By the time the land mine and air mine exploded, he ran out of the range of the explosion.
Pill Emperor and the seven Lords, including the one who was so drunk that he was crying while calling his lover's name, saw flame surging to the skies as Elliot rushed forward with ease.
He activated several other traps, causing multiple wormholes to open up beside him. They tried to suck him towards themselves, but he discharged a ridiculous amount of the essence of life from his feet and blasted his body toward the palace-like building.
Bomb! Buzz! Vroom! Bomb! Buzz! Vroom!
The dragon ascended to the ninth heaven, but in his wake, he caused an uproar throughout the eighth heavens.
Elliot reached the main building and entered it. He found himself in a white hall. The air here was one he was extremely familiar with, and looking forward, he saw a golden tree that seemed awfully familiar to the one behind her highness, the queen.
There was no one else here, so Elliot guessed that he needed to wait for the entrance examination to finish.
Around a dozen small tables were set on the ground. There was a sitting spot behind them. A few dishes were placed on the table.
"Since no one is here, I will help myself." Elliot, who had nothing to do, started eating all the dishes on one table before moving to the best. He didn't know that the Pill Emperor had prepared this feast so everyone could enjoy it, not just a single person!
Meanwhile, Thomas Shelby found himself the luckiest man alive. He took the same path that Elliot took to reach the main building and didn't encounter even a single trap. He easily reached his destination, making the Formation Emperor very unhappy with his ridiculous luck. Most of the others through fell prey to the insidious tricks of the Formation Emperor, making the other very happy.. Some who had hawk-eye eyes and a good memory took the same path as Thomas and reached the main building.
