A Palm

Ciel approached the crowd.

In the middle of the lava lake, there is a bridge made of a rope, full of twists.

People saying harsh words was understandable because right now a man was walking on the rope bridge.

Ciel thought it was crazy even for Evolvers, at least for those under Level 10.

Maybe they'd be fine if it was on the water, but this was above the lava lake where the extreme heat gathered. They will be roasted if they stay there too long.

Controlling the power would also be very difficult, they were practically like ordinary people.

Not long after Ciel arrived, the man finally fell when he had barely crossed a quarter of the bridge.

He screamed for a moment as his feet sank in the lava lake.

Fortunately, before he completely fell, a rope made of Mana Energy came to pull him up.

People took cold breaths seeing that.

He's still alive, but he's missing both legs.

After that man, someone else suddenly tried to do it too.

Ciel who was listening to the conversation of several people quickly understood what game this was.

This is a game for desperate people.

The first rule is that they must be below Level 5. As long as they successfully cross the bridge, they will be rewarded with the Camel King's heart, which is said to be able to turn a person into a sandbender.

If it sells, the price is also very tempting.

Those who fail also get a prize equivalent to 500 dollars. That's the reason many do not care about the risks.

Ciel looked at the small tent built across the lake, it was guarded by several men in suits who looked strong.

Of course, he didn't believe this was just an ordinary game.

There must be something under that lava lake that the creator of this game dropped human flesh.

He was sure that was what he made this game for.

If it weren't for this being in a public place that a lot of people saw, the creator of this game might just drop a bunch of humans into that lava lake.

In the end, these kinds of crimes became more and more common as people grew thirsty for power.

Ciel approached the lake, he then spread his Spiritual Sense into the lake.

Given the heat of the lake, the Spiritual Sense which was basically a type of subtle power would definitely be instantly engulfed in flames, it would even harm the Spiritual Sense possessor.

But Ciel's Spiritual Sense easily penetrated into the lava lake.

One, two, three, five, seven.

The depth of the lava lake was only about seven meters.

Ciel was unable to observe clearly with just his Spiritual Sense, so he went into a narrow alley where there was no one at all.

He disappeared and then appeared under the lava lake.

The clothes he was wearing instantly burned to ashes, but his entire body felt nothing.

His vision remained limited, but with a thought, he made the lava in front of him open.

In order not to produce too much of an effect, he only opened up an area of ​​one meter around him.

Right after that, he felt a kind of strange heat several meters in front of him.

Without a second thought, he headed towards it at a moderate pace.

The further he went, the clearer the strange heat became.

Not long after, he saw a strange pile of dust that was clearly from burnt flesh because there were still visible remains of flesh.

They moved to the location he was aiming for, it seemed something was pulling them.

"This may be it."

Ciel already had a guess.

He immediately quickened his pace until something finally appeared in front of him.

It was a palm without fingers and wrists.

Some parts of the palm of the hand were torn apart so that the bones could be seen.

There was probably nothing out of the ordinary except that they looked like diamonds and could be said to be even more stunning because the light they emitted was too dazzling.

Ciel may have a mysterious body that is very strong, but he realized that his bones were still white because his strength was still weak.

For the bones to be more dazzling than diamonds, the power of the owner of the palm is hard to imagine.

Immediately the dust of human flesh finally fused with that palm, making it recover slightly. The exposed flesh was slightly covered and the bones were slightly elongated to form barely visible finger bones.

But the finger bones were just plain white bones, not diamond bones.

"Indeed," Ciel said again.

Divine Undead, that's what the people on earth called them.

They were creatures that came out of ancient tombs.

Every single one of them was very strong even though they were just undead.

People suspected that they were once some kind of divine being whose power was unimaginable.

They actually come out of the graves with incomplete bodies, sometimes just a leg, but they can recover their bodies by sucking in human bodies.

Of course, the bodies they recovered were not like their bodies with diamond bones, it was just an ordinary body with ordinary bones like what was happening in front of Ciel.

However, with complete bodies, they were finally able to fight and show greater strength.

On the other hand, humans found a way to unite the parts of their divine body with their own.

There is naturally a risk to that. In fact, many end up going crazy. However, the few who survived ended up surging into dragons even though they were originally just ordinary Evolvers.

Ciel touched the palm, the hidden immense power felt very clear.

The person who made the game seemed to wait for it to become a whole palm first before taking it.

Maybe he also needs preparations to take it so that it goes unnoticed.

But who would have thought that there were people who could dive into the lava.

After touching it for a while, Ciel stuffed it into his Space Pouch.

He looked around for a while before leaving.

With new clothes, he entered the crowd again.

The Camel King's heart was also something of interest, Ciel didn't want to let go of that opportunity.

When Ciel entered the queue after doing the registration, he suddenly heard scornful words for him.

"Huh, there's another one coming, it turns out that there are so many people who are desperate just for something trivial."

"Oh, look at his face, I think he will earn more by selling himself."

Ciel's face was almost covered, but the last one to speak seemed to be able to see his face clearly.

He looked to the side and found two young women with fair skin and blond hair standing side by side.

Both of them wore special uniforms, similar to military academy uniforms with a somewhat futuristic design.

There are their names too.

The first to speak was named Ella while the second Diana.

Ciel was a little surprised when he sensed their level, it wasn't very clear to him, so they should be quite strong.

"Oh, he's staring at us," Diana said.

"Why boy...? are you offended?" Ella added when she saw Ciel's gaze on her was cold.

"Do you think I'm just looking for luck?" Ciel asked nonchalantly, slightly surprising the two women.

"What else besides that?"

"I just wanted to take the prize, nothing more."

"You mean you'll make it across that bridge?"

"Yeah, just wait and see!"

Ciel was no longer paying attention to them, he took a step forward as the person in front of him took a step.

Ella opened her slightly small mouth. She looked at Diana and said, "Isn't he too arrogant.... He's only Level 3, the others failed despite being at Level 5."

Diana looked at Ciel more closely and shook her head.

"Maybe he's hiding something, let's keep watching," she replied.

The other onlookers also heard Ciel's words and they had a worse opinion.

A big man said, "Son, I'll stab my ass with an iron if you succeed."

"Ha ha ha ha..."

His friends laughed.

Ciel glanced at the man and nodded, indicating that he would remember his words.

The subsequent ones still had the same result, they fell without even reaching half the bridge.

Some people started to look doubtful because of that.

The thought that they would be the lucky ones started to disappear from their heads.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way.....!"

There was a sudden disturbance when there were only two queues left in front of Ciel.

A group of ferocious-looking people entered the crowd at a rapid pace.

They were actually quite strong because there were two Level 9 Evolvers among them.

But they weren't the most attention-grabbing.

There was one Level 5 Evolver whose body was emitting a bluish light that was starting to dim little by little, he who seemed to be in the most hurry.

He did the registration hastily, but after that, instead of entering the queue, he advanced directly to the front.

"Let me do it first," he shouted, showing a threatening expression to the people waiting in line.

"What the hell? What are you doing?" Those who followed the queue couldn't help but get angry.

However, one of the Level 9 Evolvers who had come with him suddenly said, "let him do it first."

His voice was not loud, but so full of menace that people cowered.

Everyone has to wait in line, but there's no problem if the one at the front lets you go first.

Although coercion is a different case, things still require the decision of the game maker.

The people including the game supervising officer stared at the tent across the lake, but there was no response at all even after some time.

The two people in front of Ciel and the people behind him finally looked at each other.

"We'd better wait, these people are gangsters who are quite troubling in this city," said one of them.

The others agreed, so they retreated backwards.

As they retreated, Ciel finally came forward.

"You...!"

The Level 5 Evolver was stunned when he saw Ciel's actions.

"Son, can't you see me?" He shouted at Ciel.

The latter just glanced at him as he replied, "wait for me to finish if you want."

How could he let him go first. Just by looking at that blue light, he knew that he had a protective power that lasted for a while. That would probably guarantee he could cross the bridge.

Ciel took another step, but the Evolver suddenly grabbed his shoulder.

It wasn't something that surprised Ciel.

Retreat was an option for those without power.

But in Ciel's eyes right now, this Level 5 Evolver along with his companions were just a bunch of ducklings.

Before a second had even passed since he grabbed Ciel's shoulder, Ciel suddenly turned around.

With a swift movement, he grabbed his hand and pulled it to change their positions.

After that, he kicked his chest, sending him flying into the lava lake that was now behind him.

The boost of Ciel's strength made him fall and sink straight into the lake of lava before he could even react.
