Chapter 96: Shadows of Aegon

Bruce entered a state of enlightenment the moment he used World Breaker. He could only gamble that his body would be able to handle the technique for a few moments.

The arena shook as its foundation was threatened by a being capable of breaking the world. Bruce opened his eyes and saw every movement of the puppets in great detail.

Unfortunately, his body could not handle the technique just yet. His heart began to beat quickly, and his brain operated at its maximum potential. All unnecessary distractions were immediately removed from his view. The only thing Bruce saw were the weaknesses of his enemies.

'I have about 10 seconds before this technique kills me'

'That should be enough…'

Bruce used the technique that was seen by him in the visions of God Fist.

The technique comprised of a simple set of basic fist movements, but very powerful when done correctly. Bruce moved across the arena and destroyed the puppets in one hit with just his fist.

Bruce began to feel the rhythm of the technique and felt rejuvenated.

"Purgatory Barrage"

That's the name of the unstoppable technique created by God Fist. As Bruce continues to destroy his enemies, the speed and destructive powers of his attacks increase even more. Eventually, his fists would reach even the gods.

The audience did not see much other than a blur moving across the arena. Puppets fell to the ground continuously as Bruce went on his rampage.

After four seconds, it was over.

The crowd did not understand what happened but when they saw Bruce standing alone in the arena, they knew that he had won the challenge.

"Dark horse, I'll forever carve your name on my body!"

"Dark horse, I love you!"

Bruce's fan club began to cry in happiness. They had won the biggest bet of their lives.

Bruce ignored all the commotions from the audience and looked at his hands. He couldn't believe what he had done because his gauntlet was broken.

The otherworldly power of the technique had caused his attacks to also damage him and his weapon. Bruce couldn't help but laugh at the cruel joke.

'There goes my 100,000 faction points'

Blood dripped from his hand and his eyes were bloodshot. Bruce could barely move after he won the fight, but he still managed to drag his sorry self to the device for his reward.

The walls between Bruce and the audience rose. Making it so that only he and the device were in the arena.

[Congratulations contestant, you may pick the following rewards: 2500 profound energy cubes, a random Great Emperor cultivation manual, a random weapon of your choice, or a random medicinal pill]

"What do you mean a random weapon of my choice? How is it random if it's my choice?" Bruce was annoyed.

[You may pick a pair of gauntlets as a weapon, but its rank will be random. You have a 0.1% chance to obtain Peak Ranked Great Emperor weapon and a 1% chance to obtain High Ranked Great Emperor weapon]

With such a shitty chance to obtain the best weapon possible for himself, Bruce opted for the 2500 profound energy cubes. He wanted to rest as soon as possible.

"I pick 2500 …"

"Don't pick that option kid" The Monarch's voice rang out in Bruce's head.

"Trust me, pick the random weapon option"

'Are you fucking serious? If I get a low ranked weapon, then everything that I've done thus far will be for naught!'

Bruce couldn't hear the Monarch's voice anymore and had to decide quickly. He had always trusted The Monarch thus far. Bruce sighed and decided to follow his gut.

"I pick the random weapon option. My choice is a pair of gauntlets" Bruce told the device.

[Understood, I will now generate a random number in a range between 1-1000. If the outcome is 1 then you will get a Peak Ranked Great Emperor weapon]

[Beep…]

[Beep…]

[The number generated is 1. Congratulations, you have won a Peak Ranked Great Emperor weapon]

Bruce opened his eyes wide because he couldn't believe what just happened. He won the biggest gamble of his life. He wouldn't even dare to imagine how much something like that would cost.

The Great Emperor gauntlet that he saw in the faction shop was a low ranked one. The Peak Ranked must cost at least 10 times more.

In the air, a prestigious box appeared. Inside the box was a pair of black gauntlets.

Bruce gulped when he saw his new weapon. The gauntlets were extremely heavy and shiny. Scales of dragons can be seen across the gauntlet.

[You may drop your blood on the gauntlet to mark it as yours]

Bruce nodded and slit his hand to get the blood out. If needed, he would have coughed up half the blood in his body to mark this gauntlet. It was too beautiful in his eyes.

When Bruce's blood touched the gauntlets, the gauntlets began to glow a blackish aura. Bruce felt his soul was being linked with the gauntlet itself.

[Congratulations contestant, you have won The Shadows of Aegon]

[Forged from the scales of Aegon, the ultimate supreme of the dragon race]

[Any attack you use with these gauntlets will be empowered by the might of Aegon which consequently will increase the offensive power of the attacks by 50%]

[Aegon was the ruler of the dark dragon race, and his body was completely immune to Darkness attacks]

[As such, the Shadows of Aegon will provide you complete immunity to Darkness attacks under the Worldly Supreme level]

[To fully master the gauntlet, you will need the bloodline of the mighty dark dragons]

[An optional trial is now available to you only at this time should you choose to accept the trial]

[If you succeeded in the trial, you would obtain the bloodline and techniques of Aegon himself]

'Shit, this is so tempting but there has to be a catch!'

"What is the difficulty of the trial?" Bruce asked.

[The difficulty of the optional trial is among the hardest in Hell Spire. Due to your Divine King cultivation stage, the strengths of your opponents will be adjusted down to Great Emperor]

Bruce spurted blood when he heard about the strengths of his opponent. Bruce could barely fight off Peak Stage Divine Emperors, how would he be able to win against Great Emperors?

"Don't you think this trial is a bit unfair?" Bruce complained.

[Dear contestant, this trial is not unfair at all because the rewards are considered among the best in Hell Spire]

[The dark dragon race is mostly extinct due to their conflicts against the other dragon races. You will be the first person in millions of years to obtain the bloodline of the dark dragon and the techniques of one of the strongest dragons in history]

"How much time do I have to complete the trial?"

[The contestant can only complete the trial or die in the trial]

'Motherfucker!' Bruce cursed.

'I came here to obtain powers and the biggest opportunity of my life presents itself in front of me'

'If I run away now, how will I do anything in the future?'

"Can I take a rest first before accepting the trial?" Bruce's eyes were filled with determination.

[Contestant, you will be granted 48 hours to rest. Medicinal pills will be available to you at no cost should you choose to take the trial]

"I accept the optional trial"

[Very well then, you may enter through this path to start the trial]

The space near Bruce was torn apart and opened a path for him to enter. Bruce mentally prepared himself and entered the portal. There was no going back for him.
