After the magma went down, Elena was found standing on the sky with an ring with an orange gem held between the fingers of her right hand and a large dead snake held in her left. During the ti of the eruption, not only Elena managed to get her hands on the amber coating the ring, she was even able to kill the serpent monster by taking advantage of its lose of balance because of the pressure of the eruption.
With the ring found, Elena had no more need to stay in this volcanic area anymore. Actually if she went with her hunch and had searched the tallest volcano first, then she would have been done with this task way earlier.
But even after she was done, Elena still continued to visit the remaining volcanoes. Obviously this ti she was not really searching too thoroughly and was just enjoying the view. She was hoping to find a few more interesting beings like the fire spirit.
But unfortunately, she did not managed to any other monster who was as unique as the breeding fire spirit. But she did found a few more rare monsters and one of them was actually even stronger than the serpent she had defeated.
...
After she was satisfied exploring the underwater volcanic area, Elena started to again travel toward the opposite direction from the lightning island. She did not find any clues about her next destination but as all the other trial grounds were located at a straight line, Elena was confident that the last place would also be the sa. Even if that was not the case, Elena would not mind doing a thorough search if she was wrong.
As Elena walked for so ti, she soon found that the sea started to beco darker and darker. It was not because cloud was covering the sky or because sun was going down. A few steps back, Elena could clearly see that the sun was in the middle of the sky but after a few step in front, she suddenly found a night sky full for stars and a blood red moon.
From this Elena easily guessed that the next trial was related to vampires. This made Elena interested as she was curious about what this trial was going to be. Valhalla also had a large number of demigod rank vampires other than the demons. So Elena was excited to see a part of the vampire civilization developed in Valhalla.
After Elena entered the area under the influence of the night, soon a large land mass ca before her eyes. From a distance, this land mass looked like a decently big island but that was actually not the case. This island was actually a turtle which was more than 15 kilotres long.
While Elena was in the vampire continent, she had heard so stories about the vampires living in the upper realms from so of her friends and sisters there. One of the stories had ntioned the existence of a divine beast called "XuanYuan".
This divine beast was a large turtle that road a special sea of Valhalla called the "Sea of Rembrance" and it also had a passive ability that brought night and darkness anywhere it went. For that reason, so of the super strong vampires and made a deal with this turtle and created an extrely famous city called "Osiel" on its back. It looked like, this part of the dream realm trial was based on that sa famous city of Osiel.
With this, Elena beca even more excited than before. Then she quickly went toward the large turtle. XuanYuan was a very calm beast and never initiated attacks on anyone. So as Elena got closer, it did not react at all and continued floating on the sea with no care in the world.
After stepping foot on the back of the turtle, Elena looked toward the high walls surrounding the city. But this ti, she did not enter the city secretly and instead and went toward one of the six gates.
The gates had no guards. Actually it had guards but they were not alive. It was three decently powerful puppets made of shadow who were guarding the gate. Vampires were creature related to darkness and shadows. So as they had very good affinity for the dark elent, quite a few of them were able to create shadow puppets like this. They were not real lifeforms as they did not have a soul. But depending on the strength of the caster, these puppets could be extrely powerful which made them excellent guards.
As Elena got closer to the gate with an excited smile on her face and entered the detection range of the guards, they imdiately attacked her without even asking her any questions. One of the guards launched several arrows toward her while aother guard ca running toward her with a spear in hand.
This made Elena very displeased. She had expected to have a fight with these guards but attacking her without saying anything was too much. So she beat up the guards a quite badly and dislocated a few of their shadow limbs.
This made the guards bewildered as they had no concept of bones or joints as creature made of shadow. But still Elena managed to break their limbs because she had higher mastery of the shadow elent than their creator and she changed their substance with her superior control over shadow.
After that more and more guards started appearing and got the sa treatnt from Elena. After she had taken care of about 70 of these shadow guards, finally a regular living person appeared.
It was tall and thin man wearing a military outfit. He had a stern and cold look on his face. But after seeing many of the powerful city shadow guards in their broken state, he could not help but open his mouth wide in surprise.
After the appearance of the man, many more people also appeared. They all had military outfit but from the details of the dress, Elena guessed that the first man was the commander here. As all of them were dumbfounded with the scene before them and were not speaking, Elena decided to called out to them.
...
Raguel was having a headache with how many eternal nights he had not slept at all. As a vampire, sleeping inside a coffin was a favourite thing for him to do. But with the sudden war, he was super busy and had not gotten the ti for leisure.
Just as he was about to be done with all the paperworks, suddenly he got a warning ssage from the shadow guards. An intruder was here. Normally the shadow guards required to ask the intruders about their intentions first before attacking. But in the current troubleso situation of the war, they were ordered to attack and capture the intruder first before asking any question.
Raguel had thought that the powerful guards should be able to capture the intruder easily. But after a few seconds, he was inford that the intruder was powerful and had defeated all the guards. Imdiately Raguel started to run toward the gate. If the intruder was strong enough to defeat the shadow guards in such a short ti, without him, more guards would not be of any help. So of his subordinates also followed after him to support him.
That was how supre commander Raguel went to the gates and saw a completely unbelievable scene.
