Chapter 1082 The Test (1/2)

Questions rushed through Darren's mind one after the other.

”Sir, why did you leave your spiritual sense here? And where did you get those four coffins?” Darren asked directly.

Hiram the Great kept his gaze fixed at Darren and asked, ”Do you know how many great disasters the Lothlann Continent has experienced since the ancient times?”

Darren had long known the answer. The Lothlann Continent had experienced five stages—during each of which great catastrophes had taken place.

”Five,” Darren answered, confidently.

Hiram the Great nodded and said, ”Correct. Now, these four coffins have four very powerful devils in them. They have the means to destroy this world.”

”What?!”

Darren's eyes grew in surprise. He realized that the four coffins were in fact the exact tools used to suppress the destroyers responsible for the past great catastrophes.

”The Remote Age, the Ancient Age, the Middle Age, and the Last Age...these four ages ended all because of some powerful creatures from the outer space, but this doesn't mean we've reached the end of this world. During these four ages, shockingly powerful warriors emerged. With might and mettle, they managed to battle the deadly outsiders, and stopped them from destroying the world.

During the chaotic era that followed the end of the Last Age several million years ago, the evil fiend appeared in this world. I was able to delay this catastrophe with the help of the witcher ancestor and warriors from the various races.

Now that you've come here, the fifth catastrophe of this continent is bound to restart,” announced Hiram the Great.

”The fifth catastrophe is going to restart?”

Darren noticed the detail in Hiram the Great's words. He didn't say he stopped the fifth catastrophe, but that he simply delayed it.

”That's correct. Since the combined forces of the witcher ancestor, other masters, and myself were still limited, we weren't able to slay the intruder. Hence, the fifth great catastrophe still exists. Only once a powerful warrior whose abilities surpass my own is born can we be able to ensure the survival of the human race.

In order to find out if you are this one powerful warrior, I'll need to test you,” said Hiram the Great.
