Chapter 519: Chalice Room (2/2)

Raven saw his blood diffusing, forming into a blurry silhouette of a man holding a trident and wore a beautiful crown made out of sea crystals.

He didn't understand what's going on but he remained still. The silhouette suddenly raised his trident and pointed towards his forehead. Raven didn't move and simply allowed this to happen. Even though he could only guess who this person is, he knew that he's being tested and he wasn't truly against it.

Even though the man appeared to be a blurry silhouette, Raven could still feel the cold feeling near his forehead. All of a sudden, a bright light poured out from the tip of the trident and was involuntarily absorbed by Raven.

Raven unconsciously closed his eyes and felt warmth coursing through his body. After a few moments, he opened them since the feeling disappeared. It was also at the same moment that the silhouette disappeared without saying a word.

That caused him to confused, he couldn't help but ask: ”Okay, so what's supposed to do?”

Raven was at a loss, he truly didn't feel like something changed within him. Nevertheless, the blue chalice sank even further to the stone platform and disappeared from his view. Which confused him even more.

”Uh, off to the next one I guess?” Raven shrugged, what else could he do? It disappeared on its own. He didn't receive any kind of explanation or anything, he didn't even know if that guy called Poseidon found him worthy at all.

In addition to that, he couldn't see any exits here so with nothing else to do, he moved on to the next chalice.

The same scene played out once more. Once he got close, an ancient text unfolded and it reads:

[Hades' Holy Chalice - Pastor of the Dead, Ruler of the Underworld. Descendant! Offer your blood, use it to fill the Chalice. Prove your worth by letting Hades judge the innocence of your soul!]

”Oh, so it's my soul that's being judged now? Sure, I guess.” Raven shrugged once more and just like before, he slit his wrist and filled the chalice with his blood.

The pitch black chalice sank as well and this time, a formidable presence filled the room. Raven could feel his soul being stared down by a large beast as soon as that aura appeared.

Raven saw his blood diffuse once more and formed a silhouette of a rather plain looking old man. His back was hunched and he supported himself with a bone staff which handle looked like a skull. The silhouette was a bit blurry too, making Raven unable to make out his facial features.

Just like before, Raven felt the silhouette step closer at him. This time, the skull staff was placed on his forehead and a black light suddenly drowned the room.

Raven unconsciously closed his eyes once more as he felt his life flashing by. Moments later, he opened them and found the old man dispersing into thin air.

Once again, he was dumbfounded. What's that supposed to do? - is the question he hand in mind. But again, just like before, the black chalice sank within the platform and disappeared.

”Still no exit, so off to the last one I guess.” Raven sighed and begrudgingly went towards the golden chalice.

[Zeus' Holy Chalice - King of Gods. Ruler of the Skies. Lord of Thunder and Lightning. He who sat at the summit. Descendant, this is the Chalice of our Forefather Zeus. Fill his Chalice with your blood, kneel in front of it and let the Forefather judge you Will.]

”Zeus.” Raven muttered.

Just by the way how he was described on the Ancient Text, he could already guess his identity. Raven remained silent and felt a bit apprehensive. Nevertheless, there's nothing else he could do other than to be judged.

For the last time, hopefully, Raven slits his wrist and filled the golden cup with his blood. Just like the previous two, the golden cup sunk for a bit and Raven directly lost consciousness.

His body mysteriously floated as dark clouds appeared and his blood turned into a silhouette of a old man with long white hair wearing loose white robes. The man stared at Raven, his gaze seemingly able to transcend space and time.

The old man raise a finger and touched Raven's forehead, leaving a mark which looked like a bolt of thunder in there. He then disappeared as soon as Raven regained consciousness, leaving him speechless.

”Okay, what the hell!?”
