Chapter 672: Temples’ Great Gathering (II) (2/2)
After this small episode, a truly stirring event took place. Six teams appeared from six different passages.
These were thirty-six knights, thirty-six mages, thirty-six assassins, thirty-six warriors, thirty-six summoners, and thirty-six priests, all of whom entered simultaneously from all entrances of the stadium.
They were all clad in equipment symbolizing their own Temples.
The highest target of attention was from the Knight Temple: the one leading them had a tall build, his azure armor dispersing incomparable auras of mightiness. That was the armor transformed from the Divine Throne of Order and Law! Behind him was a row of Golden Foundation Armored Knights, whose golden-bright and dazzling sight dazzled the people’s eyes.
The contestants from the Knight Temple had come: Divine Knight Long Tianying and the thirty-five Golden Foundation Knights under his lead. These were the true greatest forces of the Knight Temple.
The Golden Foundation Knights at the front even dispersed orange glints of the epic tier.
For a moment, the people’s cheers rose to a peak. How many times in their lives would they be able to see so many divine tools and equipment of epic and legendary tier? How could they not be excited?
Cheers could be heard on every corner of Holy City. Powerhouses of the Six Great Temples were entering the Alliance’s Great Stadium, and the Temples’ Great Gathering was finally about to start.
Inside the Alliance’s Great Stadium.
This was totally different from the Demon Hunt Competition. At the time of the latter, the inside of the stadium was divided into three areas,each of which was assigned to a Temple. But these divided areas were now totally united as one, the huge stadium’s inside linked into a single one immense field. Everyone that entered was surely a shocking figure.
In the six directions were six honored guest lounges. They were elevated highly, and could all look down on the stage from a height. Don’t think that this is just an area for spectators: the guests in here were either powerhouses or great figures in the Alliance’s balance of power. And they were shouldering an important mission: to establish a defensive barrier covering the whole Alliance’s Great Stadium through a magic array on the guests’ lounge.
Contestants in the Temples’ Great Gathering were all powerhouses of the eighth step. What terrifying level would the spiritual energy fluctuations produced during their clashes reach? Without a sufficiently powerful defensive barrier, this stadium would already be wrecked in just a few matches.
Except from the ones in the honored guests’ lounge, the rest was only contestants in their resting areas. After the thirty-six people in each Temple entered, they returned to their own area to wait for the formal start of the Temples’ Great Gathering.
“The Six Great Temples’ contestants have all entered the stadium. Director referee, please give your instructions.” A vigorous and energetic voice resounded through the stage on the side of the Knight Temple.
Immediately, a vigorous voice sounded out, “Close the doors. Until the contests terminate, no one will be allowed to go through.”
“Yes!”
Along with these sonorous sounds of collisions, the six gates closed slowly guarded by powerhouses of the eighth step from each Temple.
A voice full of august spread out, “I am Chen Zidian, referee for this year’s Temples’ Great Gathering. This year, fifty-four Demon Hunters will be acting as referees, ensuring fairness and equitability. The rules have been announced long ago, so I don’t have much more to say. Let the lots drawing ceremony start for the first stage, the individual competition.”
Chen Zidian, human legend and captain of the Demon God Slayers Demon Hunt Squad.
