Seeing these groups Arvin understood that he could not possibly win if all the group started to attack him. He had to be extra careful in his planning. He had to make sure that none of them suspects that he is an imposter. Arvin had presumed that maybe that people from the Bahamut Empire would have the life brands on them like the brat in the dry wind city. But it doesn’t seem to be the case here.
Arvin quietly joined the group of the Bahamut Empire and waited for something to happen…
…
Arvin waited with the group for 5 min or so when a guy walked towards the portal. That guy was wearing the armor like the rest of the Bahamut empire’s soldiers. But his armor was a little bit different. His armor was of better quality and style. He seemed to be a high-ranking officer of the Bahamut empire. If someone from stone city were here, then they would have recognized the man immediately. He was Henry, the man that killed Zurama the Rank-1 Magus of the stone city…
“The time has come again. Now every group will choose one person as their representative that would go inside the portal to explore. Like always please come one by one and announce their representative.” Henry said.
Then one by one the leader of the clans started coming forwards and telling the names of their champion. These people were mostly peak level-1 Acolyte or beginner level-2 Acolyte. None of them were strong enough. Arvin saw that the representative from the Aurora Clan was a person that he knew too well. And that person was Xander.
As far as Arvin had understood, Xander was a very important asset of the Aurora Clan. He was strong, decisive, and cunning. So he felt strange that he was elected as their representative. Were the Aurora Clan so desperate for a win that they were ready to sacrifice one of their powerful pawns? Or is the ulterior motive behind this action?
When the turn of Grahmin Clan came their leader walked up and said…
“We would give our seat to Bahamut Empire.”
Arvin checked that there were 5 major clans and Bahamut Empire here. While the small clans were backing up major clans. If only 7 people at once can go inside, then that would mean that there must be someone who would get to send 2 people as their representative. And then someone would be Bahamut Empire, after all, who else it could be. Then if Grahmin Clan gave them their seat that would mean that they would now have 3 representatives.
Arvin smiled as he saw this. Bahamut Empire was bullying the small clans. But it was then he realized something else. The people of his group were all sweating beads. They all looked very nervous. It was then Arvin realized one crucial detail. These guys were sweating because the three people that would be going inside the portal would be chosen from their group. And now Arvin was also part of their group.
HE FUCKED UP AGAIN!
Arvin wanted to go inside. But the portal was very creepy as no one that walked inside the portal ever came back alive. Except for that black fennec fox. Arvin first wanted to investigate that black fennec fox. He wanted to found out more about the world inside that portal. What kinds of things could be expected? Does he need to get something before he gets inside?
But he had somehow found himself in a situation where now he cannot make any preparation beforehand. Arvin started praying to lady luck so that she could shine some luck on him…
When the chance of the Bahamut Empire came, some people brought a very big bowl with some chits of paper inside it. Seeing that bowl Arvin felt like he was in the movie called the Hunger Games. In that movie, there is a big jar from which the name of a person is chosen so that they could be sent to a certain death.
Henry looked at the bowl and looked at his soldiers. He then pushed the bowl away and said…
“Today I will choose by seeing the faces,” Henry said.
And then henry started choosing people. As Arvin was standing at the last he thought that maybe he would not get chosen. Who knows maybe the luck was on his side today. But his expectation was betrayed when Henry flew in the air. And the person that he picked was him…
Arvin’s heart stopped when he saw that henry’s finger pointing at him. And soon he chose two more people and then all came out of the group. And all the representatives gathered in front of the portal. The leader of each clan gave a special speech about how their sacrifice will never be forgotten. But inwardly they all knew that they were sending them to their certain death. So this was not a sacrifice. But a murder.
Then one by one each of the representatives started going inside. And all Arvin was all that left. Arvin looked at Henry and said…
“Sir can I say something before I go?” Arvin asked.
“Sure…” Henry said while yawning…
“Thank you sir for this wonder full opportunity. I am very thankful for it. I will make sure that I make Bahamut Empire proud. People of the Aurora clan and Grahmin clan… FUCK YOU GUYS.
This floor was a very peaceful place. But it was not until you guys showed up, this floor became the shit hole that it is today. And people Aurora clan stop with racism. Being a racist is not something you should be proud of. And I know for sure that all of you guys will perish one day if you didn’t stop the racism.
Same goes for fennec foxes. Say no to racism.” Arvin said.
“GO IN ALREADY! I don’t have all day you know. Are you wanna die here right now?” Henry said while being annoyed.
“Kill me? Does Bahamut Empire don’t have that kind of power” Arvin said with a smile. Then he took out his golden mask from his inventory and put it on his mouth. And before jumping inside he changed his eyes to look like the eyes of a golden eye snake.. Then he winked at Henry and jumped inside the portal.
