Chapter 117- The Tests Of Time

As Austin continued his battle, the girls within the room kept a close eye on him, they couldn't help but agree that he's strong, Nora's eyes twinkled with pride and happiness, mean while Olivia had a frown as she went in to deep thought, Scarlet's eyes lit up, while the others had intrigue in their eyes

soon the winner seemed to be decided when they saw Austin moving forward with a huge lead but that's when they saw him shine and then suddenly disappear

"What happened?!"

Nora and Scarlet spoke out in a loud voice, it wasn't just them, back inside the control room, where the competition is monitored the teachers were going mad with anxiety, one of the teachers in control of the game spoke out

"SIr we have now lost complete control of the world!"

The teachers words brought silence to the room, the main leading teacher could only catch his head with a pained expression

'Just what the hell is going on?'

Everything was going on smoothly, yet suddenly they had lost control of the game world!, there was no warning, soon the head teachers eyes flashed as he walked out of the room

"Stay put and report to me what happens from now on, I will go talk to the Dean"

The head teacher could only pray for the best as he moved to meet the Dean, at the same time, everybody in the stadium could only watch with wide eyes, as the participants were kicked out of the game world, soon all the students had arrived back at the stadium

Meanwhile back at the girls room, Marlene and Catherine had a frown on their faces, for some reason, they could feel their bloodline roaring, they could feel that whatever is happening is related to the sea, Marlene went into deep thought and soon her eyes shook in understanding

"Could it be!!"

Marlene's voice was loud as she spoke out, soon all the girls focused on her, Nora eyes turned frigid as she spoke out loud

"Do you know what happened?"

There was a bit of anxiety to her words, she had seeen her brother being swallowed by water while the rest of the students except for her brother leaving the game world, she wanted to know what had happened

"Do you think he unlocked that?"

This time the one who spoke was Catherine, her voice was tinged with suspiciousness and disbelief

"Unlocked what?"

Angelina's seductive voice was heard, it was tinged with a bit of curiosity but even before Marlene could speak the stage started shaking, the screen they were watching started flashing, after a few seconds everything returned to normal, yet the scene that was displayed on the screen was anything but normal

Everyone soon saw an ocean come to their veiw, all around only water could be scene but that wasn't the scary part, floating on the ocean they could see it, a huge army, there was thousands of mermaids, crab tribes, turtle tribes and whale tribe mens standing in a military form

Each of them had a ferocious expression on their face, with dark colored mana surrounding them, their beautiful visages was twisted with the darkness that surrounded them but that was not all there was a man that sat on a water throne surrounded by the military

Even with the same darkness that surrounds him, his beautiful face cannot be hidden, there was a beautiful blue trident on his hand and a haughty expression on his face

"Corruption...."

Sabrina muttered with a disgusted and pitied expression, corruption, a situation that had happened during the great war thousands of years ago, no one knew why but during the war there were many people who would suddenly lose control of their mana becoming corrupted, many would lose their sanity, becoming mindless beasts

Meanwhile those that happened to keep their sanity would have their entire character twisted, changed into a horrible entity, there were several that turned out like this and the only way to stop them was to kill them, the other way was to find about the corruption before it activates but once it does there was no stopping it, If not there was a chance they could spread the corruption

"Great King Xavier....."

There was a saddened expression on Marlene's and Catherine's face as they looked at the beautiful man who sat on the throne, hearing the name spoken by Marlene many of the girls eyes widened in surprise

"Wait!, are you saying that, this man is the lost ruler of the sea, the great Xavier?"

It was Carmel who exploded with this question, after all who doesn't know about Xavier the ruler of the sea that protected the sea from death and extinction, the man who single handily united the sea to become its complete ruler, a legend among men

"Indeed it's our great king Xavier....."

Marlene responded with a sad sigh

"But didn't he go missing during the Great War along with his army?"

Sabrina asked with a serious expression, hearing it Marlene and Catherine showed a hesitant looks but seeing the scene now, they knew that the secret could now no longer be protected, Marlene took a deep breath before she spoke again

"In truth he didn't go missing what happened was..."

Marlene spoke with a pity expression as she looked at the girls that surrounded her, during the war thousands of years ago the one who suffered the most was the ones living in the sea, unlike the rest, the one's living in the sea were create by both the goddess

So here came the question: Who should they support during the war?

This situating created a huge division in the sea, creating two different groups that wanted to support 2 different goddess, along with it the ones in the surface really didn't trust the sea, this caused a bloody war that reddened the ocean

It was during this time Xavier rose to power, holding the trident that commanded the sea he forcefully joined the sea becoming its first ruler, his name brought both fear and respect to the rest as he protected the sea

He was the Emperor of the sea and he was among the 11 great hero's that rose to power, he was the.....water Emperor Xavier!
