Looking away from the towering wall adrien turned to the man whose name he still didn't know.
"Oi,I still don't know your name."
The man in question smiled at his question "zac the name or if you prefer you can call me old man....
Adrien cut him off before he could finish
"Nah I don't think so."
'Despite being so young he his quite saucy.'
"Stop staring we have one more thing to do before you enter the asura realm."
"Eh am going in are you for real you are sending...hey wait up."
Without giving adrien a chance he just kept walking.
After awhile they came upon a tree taking a closer look at the tree it was covered in marks and the bark was red in colour even more so than blood if you will,the tree was devoid of any leaf.
Adrien was about to speak when he noticed zac going around the tree and moving his finger in a weird way similar to a child drawing at the air.
After a few turns around the tree Zac finally stopped.
"Mm should work."
"Ni eth pf eth tievaie ebrit I caldraz nov Dracula demmonc deeh em."
Immediately the area surrounding the tree begin to light up in flashes of gold and the light started connecting making a ¤ in front of the tree.
Pointing his finger at the intersection zac said: "seat."
Heeding his word adrien sat down in the ¤ "nothing is...."
"Arggghhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!"
Adrien burst out in pain and started screaming.
"Shit." Zac cursed with a face filled with panic and muttered "should have prepared him for the pain if anything happen to him pretty sure those horny ladies will kill me."
Cold sweat started dripping on his back.
'Should I stop he should have benefited enough..uh.'
Contrary to zac thoughts Adrien adapted quite fast to the illusion and stopped screaming his face also stopped scrunching up in pain after sometime.
"How or did he fall prey to the illusion."
Tapping Adrien brows Zac accessed the illusion and to his surprise Adrien was not not lost in fact he perfectly well aware and surviving.
'I don't get it the whole point of this test is drown the subject in a series of happy moment and joyous scene then slowly swap it to despair and make the subject aware of the dark side of the world although simple it quite hard since you don't even notice that it not your life but he,how the setting I inputted his 4 level higher than him.'
"Yep am pretty sure of it he is a bona fide monster."
****************************
' He is finally opening his eyes,two weeks that how long considering the fact it is first time and the level it was supposed to take 2-3 month.'
"You ok little one."
"Urgh who.......oh am back?"
" Yep welcome back to reality."
"What was that I went through."
"That."
Turning his head Zac began whether to tell him or not.
'Eh no harm done.'
"That was an illusion technique beings from top civilisation use to train their your ones."
"I see."
Adrien tried standing much to his surprise he could.
"How can I stand shouldn't my body be stiff."
"No that where you wrong you are in spirit form you ignore all form or bondage of the physical body."
Adrien couldn't help but Tilt his head in confusion.
"Isn't the same as soul form."
Shaking his head Zac replied "No the spirit is quite different in few places for example the asura realm,land of minethos and eternal winter isle just to names few. You can use without affecting your soul or body but here the twist you still feel pain and whatever training you had in your spirit form you can do in your physical perfectly even without ever trying in your real body."
"Lemme guess the top civilisation send their genius their to train right?"
"Correct, that come on we need to go."
Saying so Zac walked in the direction of the wall staring at the wall and chanting some spells an obscure purple portal opened which doesn't show the image of the other side.
Zac turned his head to Adrien and began lecturing:
"Remember you pop out in the outskirts of the outer layer of asura,the forsaken battleground. You have one job that is to kill and to learn and improve your skills."
"Outer layer how many layer are there."
Raising his fingers Zac began counting:
"Outer layer,fringe layer,Grecian belt,inner core and vanir."
Adrien took it all in and nodded.
"Is this portal safe?"
"It ok." Saying this Zac pushed him in.
........'shit I forgot to tell him the signal and when he was supposed to come out.
*********************
Getting out of the portal I took a deep breath "I hate portals."
Looking at my surrounding I realised no words could do this place good with weapons littered around building in devastation,flies and crows eating the bodies,guts and other part of the body lying around;people fighting regardless of what around them other trying to steal or backstabbing.
I know truly understand.
So this is the:
"FORSAKEN BATTLEGROUND."
