Chapter 383: Trapped Beast Fight

Rafael expertly surveys the various objects inside the building.

"You also know archaeology?" Anti asked curiously.

While doing the work at hand, Rafafar said: "The senior priests of the sacrificial tower need to learn and master the skills. It is not uncommon to encounter orc ruins when going out on missions."

"The requirements for high-ranking priests are quite harsh."

"Maybe, but it's all necessary. We should do our job well." Rafafar still spoke with a sense of mission.

The two walked through the building, and it didn't take too long for Rafafar to get some results: "I guessed right, this arena is indeed managed and operated by the beast warrior Kogaros."

Anti nodded.

Rafafar continued: "This arena serves as a religious sacrifice, allowing orc warriors to compete and even fight each other in this arena. This is regarded as a ritual for the Pillar God of Beasts. Kogaros and his clan govern this place and maintain this ritual."

"The coming-of-age ceremony of the Sky City beastmen was also held here. They wanted to prove to Bist with a hearty battle that they were mature and capable of becoming beastmen warriors."

After a pause, Rafafar followed the traces to a corner, and after removing a large amount of rubble, he revealed a thick stone slab.

There are words engraved on this stone slab, the ancient language of the orcs, simple and obscure.

However, Anti used his night eyes to quickly read the contents.

After reading the above content, he turned to Rafafar and briefly explained: "Kogaros died in the battle of Sky City. His body was intact but he was not transformed into a wandering god. His body was recovered by the orcs of his tribe, and his armor and weapons were preserved separately. It is said that the weapons can only be obtained after passing the trials of the reptile tribe."

As he spoke, he and Rafafar found an exquisite box buried in the rubble. It was originally very exquisite, but it had been smashed to pieces.

"Keith has been here and took away Kogaros' armor. His current target should be Kogaros' weapons." Rafafar said seriously.

It is a bit strange that Kogaros failed to transform into a wandering god.

Combined with the information obtained from Kavo before, the mutation of the wild beasts in Sky City is related to the transformation of almost all the beast god warriors into wandering gods. Now looking back at the texts left by the Kogaros clan, it can be basically confirmed that the orcs may have mastered some relatively stable method of transforming dead warriors into wandering gods.

Related to Bicester.

Although this Pillar of Beasts is the bestial side left by Phaselos, he is still a part of Phaselos after all, and is definitely not the wild image of "brave but foolish" as the stereotype.

Antioch understood this deeply.

Anti, beast-transformed An, and stranger, these three states are all about you in me and me in you.

Especially the Stranger, you see it seems to be a crazy form, but in fact its combat IQ is only high, and it can also think fluently, but it just doesn't care about so many trivial matters most of the time.

Reason and madness, humanity, animality and even divinity are not so clearly separated.

Putting away his thoughts, Anti turned around and said, "It's not written on the slate what the trial is. Is Kes also investigating the trial? Or is he already conducting the trial?"

"It's unclear, but at least we know what he's going to do," said Rafafar.

Suddenly, the arena shook violently, like an earthquake.

Anti and Rafafar looked at each other and hurried outside to observe what was happening around them.

As soon as he came out, Handilon landed directly next to Anti, and the claws on his tail pointed Anti in the direction: "Roar!"

"Keith activated a mechanism in the center of the arena?" Anti heard the news from Handilon.

...In the center of the arena, Keith lowered his head and thrust a snake-shaped sword into the buried slot in the center of the arena. His face was gloomy and he kept muttering, "Too slow. It takes so long just to find a key. So no matter how long you humans have been here, you are still..."

Suddenly, his body trembled, and he quickly shook his head and cursed: "Asshole! I told you not to influence me!"

Just after he finished speaking, his expression changed again and he sneered: "Ha, trash. If it were a normal person, I wouldn't be able to succeed so easily. But as a human, your animal nature is completely out of control, which gave me the opportunity to take advantage of you."

Keith slapped himself hard, and only then did he suppress the sinister voice.

After landing in the Sky City and being chased by Rafafar, he finally found this precious armor and thought his luck had turned. However, something attached to the armor took advantage of the opportunity and sneaked into him.

But all of this is a foregone conclusion. He can only give in and use the power of this armor to earn more chips for himself and get out of here alive.

The true appearance of this arena is revealed. Use the snake-shaped sword as the key to activate it and begin the trial of the reptiles.

Originally, the trial required facing powerful intelligent beasts specially cultivated by the reptiles. It was determined that those intelligent beasts were incapable of achieving a balance between humanity and animality, and could not evolve into part of the orcs. They could only develop in the reverse direction, extremely strengthening their animality and turning them into terrible monsters.

Nine difficult battles must be fought to retrieve Kogaros' weapon.

"Damn lizard, the Sky City has fallen! And you still have the mind to set up such a difficult trial!" Keith's face turned pale.

Kogaros didn't show up this time, but he taunted in his mind: "Haha, I don't plan to be reborn in the body of my descendants. I don't want to take the lives of the younger ones. This is the only way to prevent them from being obsessed with power and stealing my weapons. But you, a human who sneaked in... Haha, I don't mind using your human body."

"You don't have to look so grim. After you get the weapon, before I completely take over your body, at least you still have a chance to use my power to seek revenge on the humans who made you unhappy. After such a long time, those fighting beasts would have starved to death. You don't have to face the difficulties I set, you can get my weapon directly."

This was a blessing in disguise, and Keith's face relaxed slightly.

"Enemy attack!"

But just as he relaxed, there was a loud shout in his mind. Keith didn't react, but the armor on his body had already controlled his body to make a move.

His body was extremely flexible, twisting and jumping like a snake, and he narrowly avoided the hammer that was glowing red and was heading towards his head.

Keith slammed the hammer away with his backhand, turned like a ballet dancer in the air and landed lightly. He saw Anti, Rafafar and Handilon at the entrance of a corner of the arena in the distance.

"Damn, quick reaction," Keith spat.

"What are you going to do?" Anti asked coldly.

Keith calmed down and was about to retort, but his mouth lost control again: "Huh? Hey, hey, hey, you were half asleep and not fully awake before, and now it seems that the person you are dealing with is very powerful."

Keith slapped himself again, but this time Kogaros couldn't help himself: "Hahaha, interesting, it's really rare to have two of you among humans. Are you two happy in this sky city?"

Anti was puzzled.

Although it can be seen that Keith is in a semi-possessed state, what does Kogaros mean by suddenly saying this?
Rafafar seemed to realize something, his mouth slightly opened, but he didn't speak.

Anti glanced at him.

Kogaros said, "Gulan Sgeti, this is the domain of the Beast God. There is a rule set by Bist: trapped beasts fight. This rule is set for Sky City and every Beast God warrior. Once this rule is activated, all the beasts here will expand, and even we will find it difficult to contain them."

"The over-expanded spirit will interfere with the entity. The infinitely expanding animality has made the survivors of this city wish for death, and now they have turned into zombies. Although this principle has weakened to this day, it is still maintained... The animality of the two of you is very eye-catching, even in my opinion, you are one of the best. Hehe, don't you feel anything special?"

Kogaros couldn't help but let out a sinister laugh as he spoke.

I have to say, it fits Keith's face very well and makes him look like a treacherous villain.
