468 Tartarus (2/2)

A voice woke up everyone from their stupor, causing their attention to follow the source of the voice. They then saw a man with a pitch black skin standing at an impressive height of fifteen meters looking at them. This giant husk of a man stood with an equally massive spiked-club by his side. His arms were crossed in front him, which gave him a strict and intimidating presence.

Nevertheless, the face of this man was visibly at ease as he looked at the two.

”Yo, Gatekeeper! It's been a while!” Logan greeted.

Henry gave out polite greetings while saying: ”Thanks for your hard work as always.”

”Oh, stop it you. You're going to make me blush.” Such words were uttered by the giant man while looking away, causing some girls to find this behavior rather…adorable - if that word was even apt to use for a man of this stature.

The giant then saw Junior Disciples behind them and said: ”Oh, are these you're recruits? Not bad you two. Let's hope that they can last here.”

”Bahaha! My unit will surely last, I don't know about Henry's though, they look weak as hell if you ask me!”

”Stop it you two.” Henry shook his head, ”You're scaring them with your words.”

The Junior Disciples heard their discussion and some couldn't help but actually feel nervous and uncertain. From what they could see around them, things aren't looking good. After all, what they see around them was different from their expectations.

”You guys going in right?” The Gatekeeper asked, prompting the two to nod. The giant then moved and peeked at the wall behind him, which only reached up until his waist.

”Oy, open the gates will you?” The Gatekeeper told someone from the inside. A few seconds later, the doors in front of them creaked. It then slowly opened and revealed several infrastructures hidden behind.

The Gatekeeper then look at the Junior Disciples and said: ”Alright little ones. The doors of Tartarus are now open. Work hard and be careful!” He then gave them a eye-smile while doing a little wave with his hand. Causing some girls to find him adorable once more.

Some disciples, including Raven, bowed towards the Gatekeeper before following the rest as they entered this place called Tartarus.

As soon a they entered, the gates behind them closed with a loud bang, startling many of them. But before they could move any further, Henry and Logan stopped. They looked at each other, snorted and parted ways. Logan and his group went left and Henry along with his group went right.

Their antics cause many disciples to secretly shook their heads. Some of them find the behavior of their superiors a little childish but none of them dared to say a thing.

After separating with each other, the Junior Disciples behind Henry head him speak: ”Ahem. That guy just now, is named Logan. He too, is a War God. Aside from his self-proclaimed title as my Eternal Rival, he also goes by the Thousand Armed War God title. Clearly the idiot doesn't know how to count. He only has six arms, not one thousand.”

Some disciples fought the urge to laugh as they heard that.

”Anyhow. He might be a sight for sore eyes, but he's human. Him having multiple arms and another set of eyes are just side-effects of his blood lineage. He's pretty strong, but not as strong as me.” Henry added.

Raven couldn't help but to roll his eyes but remained silent. After walking with him for a few more minutes, they eventually arrived at a tall cliff filled with numerous holes. Henry stopped and faced the disciples behind him.

”Alright. Just for formalities, let me welcome you all once again to Ancient Elysium Sect.” Henry smiled warmly to them, this time it was a genuine one.

”Don't be fooled by your surroundings.” He stated, ”This is not the entirety of the sect. Remember what I said earlier, Mount Olympus is the home of our sect. What you see around you, is just the scenery at its base. As you move on through the ranks, you'll see more and experience more of what our sect has to offer.

Henry paused for a moment and continued: ”You've heard it before. The name of this place is Tartarus. Whether you like or not, this place is going to be your world unless you get rid of your promoted to an Inner Disciple.”

”Now you'll ask me how to become one, and the answer is simple.” Henry dramatically paused before saying: ”Hunt Devils.”
