Chapter 610: Return and Unrest (1/2)
*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!*
Loud explosion of colorful lights covered the skies of Ancient Elysium Sect, causing the disciples to feel alarmed and curious as to what was going on.
The explosives were followed by deep echoes of large bell tolls, raising the level of the commotion by a notch. Now almost everyone on the sect went out their abodes and raised their heads-up high to see what this noise were all about.
”Everyone, let us all welcome the glorious return of the Heroes who surmounted the arduous challenges of the True Olympian Climb!” The loud and crisp voice of the Sect Master jolted the attention of everyone, causing them to gasp in surprise.
To those who heard and knew about the True Olympian Climb, their surprise was understandable. Still, even with this announcement, some people find it difficult to believe this news.
However, when the scattered lights on the skies formed five faces with their names, their disbelief was flushed and replaced by utter excitement. The sect wouldn't bother showing the faces of the people who surmounted the climb if the news were fake, would they?
The faces of Henry, Logan, Theo, Charles and Raven were shown in the skies, allowing everyone to take a look at them closely.
”It's the War Gods! Of course! Only they have the ability to surmount Mount Olympus!”
”Hail the War Gods! Everlasting Victory!”
”Awesome! As expected of my Idols! I too will someday make it to the peak of Mount Olympus!”
”War Gods! Champions of Mount Olympus! Haha, this is great!”
”Hey, who do you think that last person is?”
”Beats me. Never heard of him.”
”He's hot. I wonder what his name is?”
”He looks young too! I wonder how old is he?”
”Well, he did reach the peak of Mount Olympus along with the War Gods so he must be an old fossil too. He probably had a technique that allows him to retain his youthful looks!”
”Pfft!” The War Gods who were trying to stay low profiled couldn't help but to spew a peal of laughter when they heard the remarks about Raven.
”That hurts actually.” Raven's mouth twitched as he heard the whispers around him. ”Damn, people can be mean sometimes huh?”
The group who's faces were currently projected at the skies of the sect, we now under a disguise as they walked towards the Storm Dweller's peak to report back to the Sect Master and Grand Elder.
”Don't mind it too much...old man - Pfft!” Logan said while covering his mouth. Raven glared at the guy and the rest as well to prevent them from even trying to follow Logan's lead.
”He's right about one thing...” Theo said seriously, which somehow convinced Raven, but: ”...old man - Pfft! No! Wait! Hahaha! Okay, all kidding aside...don't mind it too much. Just remember their faces for now and punish them once you inherit the sect master's position.”
”Hey! Don't give him any bad ideas!” Henry rebuked Theo, slapping his shoulder while he's at it.
”Calm down, Raven. Don't stoop that low.” Charles tried to convince Raven but seeing the feral grin on the latter's face, he knew that it won't work.
”Too late...I've already memorized their faces.” Raven said, ”The moment I become the sect master, I'll immediately enlist them to a Crusade. Let's see if these people dares to call me Old Man again.”
The War Gods involuntarily shivered as they heard the venom on Raven's words. Logan and Theo looked at each other with wry smiles. Now, Raven would most likely send them too since they too called him and Old Man.
Raven sighed and said: ”Well, all kidding aside. Let's hurry. I want to return to my bed. Additionally, I feel something weird happened while we were gone. The atmosphere in the sect feel extremely strange.”
