The 6 Trials Of Hell (pt.2)

As he disappeared you could see red flashes appear near people and everytime the red flash appeared near some body that body would die in a different way.

Some died from fire, some died from ice, poison, being cut into a thousand pieces some even exploded and the scariest, withered away into dust, it was truly a terrifying death but it kept going.

SPLASH

(Kurian)- "Hmm… This is my eightyeith kill, and I used all my non area effect abilities. They all work properly though I do wish some of them were stronger though hopefully they will grow with me".

BOOM

As he was talking he heard an explosion and a bunch of plants rising into the air with thorns as big as rocks on them and if you look closely you could see a girl with pink hair on top of the giant flower.

Then she pointed towards the ground and all the plants rushed towards where she pointed and as they went down you could hear screams.

AHHHHHHH!

(Kurian)- "I wonder what's happening over there and those plants. It must be that girl. Maybe she will be my next test subject, let's see".

Then Kurian's figure flashes from his previous position and then he appears next to the explosion to see a pile of guts, blood and limbs truly a sight to see.

And in the center of that pile of guts and blood a girl with pink hair in pink and white drapes with golden bracelets on her arms and legs with golden heels and lushes green vines around her arms and legs she was a beauty but in front of Kurian she was a five out of ten at best.

But even still when he saw her he paused. And he looked at her as if she was fake, but soon shook his head and then stared at her.

(???)- "Oh! Are you also captivated by my beauty? You look like a member of a royal family but I've never seen you before, oh well you'll die like the rest of them anyway".

And with a wave of her hand, vines started to rip out from the ground and grab at Kurian's legs. But before they could even reach him, she felt a sharp prick on her neck.

(Kurian)- "Interesting, I figured others could also use shinsu and make elements with it, I didn't think they would be capable of using it to control the plants tree's around them. Or at least to this level".

(???)- "(What? How, he even got past my life signature sense impossible!)

"Who are you, and what royal family do you belong to? Don't think that a mere prince has the power to go against the Artemis Clan".

(Kurian)- "Oh, there are kingdoms here in this place. I thought it was nothing more than a place for those who wished to climb the tower to have their wish granted, but to think they could establish empires here. This truly has become more interesting".

(???)- "Don't ignore me you bastard!".

As she yelled, the shinsu density around her increased and giant flowers with sharp teeth started to appear and attack Kurian.

BOOM

When the plants started to surround him he was already gone.

(???)- "Ahhhh… where did he go! Stop hiding and show yourself!".

(Kurian)- "If you insist".

And in that instant a figure appeared a few feet in front of her and as soon as she saw him, she attacked immediately.

(???)- "DIE!".

But in the next instinct all the plants that were heading towards Kurian started to burst into flames that engulfed everything it touched. Turning all the overgrown man eating flowers into dust. (light it up, up, up, light it up, up, up, there on fire) ; )

(???)- "You, you… ahhhh!".

In the next instinct before she could do anything more she was engulfed in a block of ice completely sealing any, and all movement she could make.

Then he slowly approached her, and as he got closer she started to feel this suffocating aura that was wreaking of blood, war, and death, and it stunned her. Someone who was not new to killing. She was the hair to the Artemis Clan who's gardens were fertilized with the blood of their enemies. She was scared.

No, terrified.

(Kurian)- "Throughout this entire time you have not introduced yourself, so what is your name?".

SILENCE

She was still stunned from the aura that redacted from him, even though it wasn't as intense as before it was still there and left her a bit stunned still.

(Terra)- "I am Terra. Terra Artemis of the Artemis Clan, one of the Great Clan's on the 201st floor of the tower. Who are you?".

(Kurian)- "Me?... you may call me THE BLOOD EMPEROR!".

(Terra)- "..... What! A mere reguler dares to call himself an emperor!".

(Terra)- "To think someone would have the gall to call themselves an emperor, truly either you are ignorant or you have a death wish".

(Kurian)- "Oh, why is that?".

(Terra)- "What do you mean, "why is that!" Have you lived your entire life underneath a rock!".

(Kurian)- "My, my, what a way to talk to somebody who can kill you with a swipe of my hand".

(Terra)- "...You don't honestly think that this is my full power right?".

And at those words Kurian stared at her as she was still trapped in the ice glacier with only her head and a bit of her hand was out too, also with some slight cuts which were healing quite fast, and as he was staring at her, he was waiting for her to do something. Only for her to just sit there and stare back, giving him a questionable look.

(Kurian)- "Are you going to do something or just stare at me? Aren't you going to release your full power".

Terra still kept looking at him like he was stupid.

(Terra)- "Where did you say you were from?".

As they both looked at each other they heard a sound, they both looked at a tree with nothing really weird about it, but if you looked at the corner of the tree you would see black cloth.

Kurian/Terra - "Come out!).

Then as if the tree had a cover over it, it fell to the ground and you could see a weird looking person with a horn on the side of his head in an all black ninja suit with a katana on his back.

(Ninja)- "You must be Terra Artemis, well today is'ant your lucky day, I thought I wouldn't be able to find you until the second test. But it seems I am being given a break, hah truly sometimes being talented isn't the best thing. Well it's time for you to die".

As the horned man was about to charge towards her, he was wrapped around in vines with thorns, And as they punctured into his skin, it started to absorb his blood slowly giving the thorny vines a red hue.

(Kurian)- "Well that was anticlimactic".

As he finished speaking there was a cracking sound then the ice that was trapping Terra shattered going everywhere. And as he looked back at Terra he saw that vines were coming out of the ground where Terra was trapped ice.

Then a hugged flower appeared out of the ground and swallowed her whole and went back into the ground disappearing.

(Kurian)- "Well that's too bad I wanted to ask her more questions about the tower, and why it felt like she was holding back the entire time we were fighting".

And with that he disappeared in a blur going in a random direction.

~~~~~SCENE CHANGE~~~~~

In a rocky mountain area with hills and small mountains, we can see a hooded figure in a black and purple robe with two long lavender tassels with silver spearheads at the end and a strange purple glowing lamp or maybe even a short dagger with a particle-like chain attached to it.

And all around him you could see bodys missing their lower halves but not like a clean cut or even being torn more like a circular whole that took the entire top parts of their bodys, and that's not all if you look around you can see perfectly circular holes in some of the hills, mountains, and on the ground, it was truly a peculiar situation.

(Random)- "You… monster, something… like you should… have never… existed".

The figure of said person was horrifying, missing both his legs and an entire arm. Truly one would think at this point how could anything still live but, not soon after an orb appeared beside his head, and even more bizarre it looked like it was messing with reality, like it was trying to devour everything in its path but was being restricted at the same time.

But once the disfigured being saw it was too late and his head was ripped off in a circular motion. And his body hit the floor.

(URANOS)- "When will this test be over I refuse to stay here any longer than need be I must hurry and reach the 99th floor once I pass it I will truly be able to avenge you…mother".

The mysterious robed figure disappeared in a swirl as like space was trying to devour him and disappeared.
