Chapter 158: Perfect Promise
The next day…
Ceremony Hall
"Today, in the presence of the Sage of all Sages, Lord Hermanubis, we will once again hold the duel ceremony. This is a most sacred ceremony, and spectators must not disturb it. They must watch the entire process with all respect and solemnity."
"Representative of the Temple of Silence, the defender."
Bamoun, who had been slumped on the bed, finally came and stared at the people in the audience.
"Grandpa, you are here."
"….Ahem…After so many years, you actually held this ceremony, Sesos."
Sesos said calmly: "I know what I am doing, Grandpa, just watch it."
Duan Lei continued, "The representative of the House of Lords, the attacking party."
Ying, Paimon, Senor, and Tinari made a brilliant appearance. They are ready and will use their strength to win the right to speak today.
The referee continued, "Then please take your positions and decide the order of battle. Here. We will not ask where those who come from or where those who leave go. We will bet on the power of Hermanubis and fight until the winner is decided!"
Ying decided to fight first to boost morale and intimidate the opponent, and Tinari was the second to fight.
The battle is about to begin...
Ying walked onto the arena and took out the silver sword that she had treasured for a long time. She thought that the opponent would be a mercenary or someone with the Eye of God, but she didn't expect that the guardian of the Temple of Silence would be a mushroom beast!
[Paimon: My goodness, these opponents are not human! ]
[Klee: Um... Mushroom Beast and... Klee doesn’t know.]
[Tinari: Semi-eternal Governing Matrix... How do they control it? Is it also the technology of the Red King? ]
[Alice: There really is a lot of black technology. I have to go check it out when I have time. Maybe there’s something I want in there.]
[Wendy: As long as Ms. Alice is happy]
[Kaeya: If nothing else, at least this time the traveler remembered that she still has elemental power]
[Ying: Compared to elemental power, I prefer close combat]
[Alice: You turned a mage into a warrior for no reason...]
...
With the end of Tinari and Ying, the game soon came to the third game, the fateful battle between Seno and Sesos!
"This is the last part of this ceremony. Please remember the conditions you both set. If you are ready, you can start at any time."
Sesos took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "I am Sesos, the suitable person for Hermanubis, the grandson of Bamun, the current leader of the Temple of Silence. For a long time, we in the Temple of Silence have kept secrets according to the requirements of the masters of Hermanubis, and have also conducted experiments when we were desperate in order to seek the power to protect ourselves. We follow his truth and power, and we long for his soul to descend with light.
Now, it is this power that I will fight for!"
Seno refused to give in: "I am Seno, the Great Disciplinary Officer, the student and successor of the wise Kylesh, fighting to defend my power, my teacher and my country!
What about you? Is there anything you haven’t said yet? Since this is a noble duel, show your true heart before Hermanubis. "
Sesos was stunned and looked at everyone in the audience. Everyone... regardless of gender, age or status, was looking forward to the outcome of this duel.
"Grandpa is a wise leader, and also a chief who bears a bloody name. I know what he thinks and what he expects of me."
"But we have been bound by faith for a long time. Later, I went to the rain forest and met the people in the city. Times have changed. The people of Xumi now seem to be happier and freer. I stood on a high place and overlooked the street scene below. Then I thought of you, Seno. You also have this power, but you live a completely different life from me. The Ba Ling of Hermanubis has its own symbols, power, glory... and many unsolved mysteries."
"I thought that this difference might be due to the different symbols of the Ba Ling we obtained. Or maybe... you have found the answer that I don't have."
Seno vetoed his speech, saying that he was not only a warrior, but also himself!
"You and I are both vessels of Hermanubis, but not entirely. His name has influenced you and me and changed our lives. If it's you, you can definitely answer my question - what else can I bring besides this power and faith!"
"bring it on!"
Seno slowly moved his feet, his eyes fixed on Sesos who was not far ahead. Sesos launched an elemental burst without hesitation, and powerful lightning elements quickly emerged from the surface of his body. His left hand instantly turned into a sharp claw, and he rushed towards Seno with great speed.
Seno also released all his strength and fought actively. Their claws frequently collided with each other, making a sound similar to metal collision. Seno suddenly used an uppercut and successfully knocked Sesos away.
However, Sesos did not show weakness. He tightly entangled Seno, and the two fell into a fierce fight, intertwined with each other. The thunder element in Seno's hand gradually condensed into a sharp sword, and he threw it at Sesos with force. Because he had no time to dodge, Sesos was hit by the sword transformed from thunder, fell to the ground, and hit the ground heavily, raising a large amount of dust.
As the saying goes, attack when you are weak and take your life when you are weak! I saw Seno falling straight down like a meteor, with the force of thunder and lightning, rushing towards Sesos like a mountain crushing an egg. Sesos was horrified and quickly raised his arms to try to block this fatal blow.
"Is this what you call doing your best? Didn't you always say you wanted to find the truth?" Seno said sarcastically with a scornful smile on his face.
When Setos heard this, his anger was instantly ignited. He felt that he had been greatly insulted, and the power of Hermanubis in his body began to become restless, and a strong breath gushed out of him. With the blessing of this power, Setos actually succeeded in knocking Seno away.
Seno lifted the elemental burst state. He tightly grasped the Red Sand Staff in his hand and stared firmly at Sesos who was rushing towards him. At this moment, the atmosphere between the two was extremely tense, as if even the air had solidified.
As a cloud of smoke rose up, Seno's body retreated a few steps, but he looked fine and obviously did not suffer any substantial damage.
Seeing this, Sesos immediately released the elemental burst state and quickly took out a green-pole spear and held it in his hand. At this moment, his eyes were full of determination and firmness, as if he was ready to compete with his opponent.
The two sides moved as fast as lightning, approaching each other at an alarming speed. In the blink of an eye, they were already in close combat.
"Bang!" A loud noise was heard, and the red sand staff and the green pole spear collided violently, making a deafening sound that echoed throughout the space. At this moment, it seemed as if time had stopped.
However, it is not accidental that Seino is known as the Great Disciplinary Officer. He has gone through countless hardships and obstacles, relying on his outstanding martial arts and unyielding perseverance to win this lofty title. In contrast, Sesos has not experienced so many trials, so his strength is naturally inferior.
In this fierce battle, Seno gradually gained the upper hand, and his attacks were as fierce as a storm, making it difficult for Sesos to resist. In the end, Sesos had to admit his defeat and retreated sadly.
"The victory has been decided!"
[Kole: Good, good, good! Mr. Seno is amazing! ]
[Kaeya: I give this fight a full score! ]
[Tinari: After all, Cyno is still more skilled]
[Ying: A perfect promise! ]
[Shadow: You have your own understanding of the lightning element, and you can use it to condense weapons. You are very good.]
[Sano: Thank you Thor for your praise]
[Shadow: I hope you will practice diligently in the future and don’t neglect your martial arts]
【Sino: Yes】
[Yae Shenzi: Little guy, Ying rarely praises people. In the past few hundred years, besides the Water God and the Grass God, you are the only one.]
[Arata Ichito: I am also very powerful! 】
[General Thunder: Who? 】
...
"you win."
"It looks like you've found the answer."
Setos stood up from the ground, dusted off his clothes, looked at his grandfather on the podium and nodded, then stripped Hermanubis' power from his body.
"I give you the glory."
Seno took over the power and began to integrate it silently.
Suddenly the entire hall was illuminated by purple light.
"This glory..." Bamoun murmured, recalling the glory of the past.
"Our Lord, the Priest of Priests, Lord Hermanubis. That lightning is his incarnation and the continuation of his will.
He was a warrior of Tinal, emerging from the desert
It was used by the God King Ahmar. After the death of the God King, Hermanubis brought his believers and the Tinar people who served as priests all year round to build the Temple of Silence in the city of Tuledura. That is our original starting point.
Our duty is to protect and manage the knowledge left by the Red King civilization. More than a hundred years later, there was unrest in the sand, the Gilded Kings launched wars one after another, and the only remaining civilization was destroyed in the war.
Only the wise city-state of Tuledula, under the guidance of the Tinar people, escaped the disaster. But the good times did not last long, as the wild beasts set their sights on Tuledula, which was said to have the knowledge of the Red King. The King of Gul led his army to surround the place and ordered the wise men to hand over the Temple of Silence to prove his majesty.
The nobles in the city colluded with the overlord to preserve their rule by betraying the Temple of Silence, and even claimed that the knowledge held by the Temple of Silence was the source of pollution.
For a time, the Temple of Silence was surrounded by enemies from all sides.
Our Seeker had already exhausted his power to stop the spread of the corruption contained in the Red King's knowledge. In order to keep the Temple of Silence alive, he shattered himself and activated the inheritance ritual of Hermanubis, which gave power to mortals. With this power, the Temple of Silence repelled the army of the Overlord, but we were not seen as heroes. The unknown power made the desert people fear and reject us.
Eventually, the people of the Temple of Silence left the desert with the Tinar people of Tuledula and entered the Jade Forest. It is not difficult to imagine the final story. The nobles of Tuledula were wiped out, and the war spread across the entire desert...
We hid and wandered with secrets and missions. Because of betrayal, we went from the desert to the rain forest, and because of distrust, we returned to the desert from the rain forest.
Too long... too long...
Yet today, the Temple of Silence once again sees the glory of Hermanubis...thank you."
