Keys To The Gate 85 War Conference Secret World

He arrived at the War Conference headquarters. Many youths who were going to enter the Secret World had gathered there, from the six guilds as well as the academy and some clans. When White Star arrived, he became the center of attention but he stayed quietly in a corner, browsing news on the Vast Expanse forum on his smartphone.

Tina and Joanna were standing in a group with other youth selected by the government. Tina pointed at White Star. "That is White Star. He changed his outfit, it looks cooler now." She said.

Joanna was stunned when she saw Tristan. "Is this how you want to look like." Joanna asked Tristan within her head, stifling her laughter.

Tristan ignored everyone. Within the war conference members was the youth from Tristan's high school. Gary. He was standing quietly in a corner.

After ten minutes the Elder appeared. He motioned for the secret world to open. Unlike other secret worlds, this world would only open once a year for a few days.

The people walked into the secret world one after the other. Tristan entered the world as well. He had the map to point him the directions, so he wasn't worried.

The world was indeed a maze. It was a garden maze with huge walls covered with vines on each side. At every other corner there was a tablet, that would have a test. If a person succeeded the test, they would get the inheritance.

Tristan had already remembered the contents of the map Ares had given him.. While others were slowly and carefully exploring the world, they suddenly Black Star rush lile the wind and disappear behind a turn, without looking at any of the tablets.

Joanna and Tina saw him run and were confused. Joanna remembered that Tristan had specifically returned just to go to this secret world, yet now he ignored all the tablets? did he know some secret? She shook her head.

Tristan quickly had reached deep inside the maze and found a purple stone steele. Tristan quickly touched it. Then Tristan was transported to an illusion world, where a man was crunching groundnuts.

"It has been a long time since someone has found me." The man smiled.

"Ares sent me." Tristan said.

"You... cleared the combat tower?" The man asked with shock.

Tristan nodded. The man had a bitter smile. "Just fight me one time. I want to taste your Ares Tactics." He said.

"As you wish." Tristan nodded.

The man had the strength of a person who had evolved once. The fight was not even a challenge for Tristan. He used a few moves from Ares Tactics and beat the man.

"You are good." The man smiled. "The door is open."

Then Tristan was pulled out of the world. He saw that the steele had moved. and a stairway leading underground had opened up. Tristan went in.

Underground, Tristan found a tunnel with trees growing on both sides. Tristan followed the map and found the second last tree on the right and touched it.

Once again, Tristan was pulled into the illusion world. Here there was not a man, but rather a cross between a tree and a person. He was shaped like a human, but his entire body was composed of bark and leaves sprouted over his body.

"You are either extraordinarily lucky, or Ares sent you here." The tree man said.

"Ares sent me here." Tristan said nonchalantly.

The tree man nodded. "Do you know why he sent you here?"

"He said I could find out the secret of the sky." Tristan replied.

The tree man sighed. "You reached this place, that can be considered luck. Take this leaf, it can cure you of a poison, one time."

Tristan received the leaf. The system identified it immediately.

[Holy Leaf]

Tristan nodded. He was pushed out of the illusion world. The tree suddenly turned transparent and could see a path behind it. Tristan had read this in the map and was not surprised. He walked through the tree and into the path.

Inside the path Tristan went straight for at least 10 minutes before he found an altar. On the altar was a gold statue of a man sitting in the lotus position.

Suddenly the eyes of the Lotus Statue of opened. He immediately sprung up and began fighting with Tristan in an extremely weird style. Every punch and kick was. .h.i.t with a curve that created an illusion of a lotus.

Tristan used Ares Tactics with full power. The golden statue was a challenging foe and Tristan was struggling against the man's unusual combat style which seemed to completely counter the Ares Tactics. However, Tristan slowly began to see flaws in the moves that Ares tactics could exploit.

After putting some work, he finally was able to use a flaw and disable the statue by kicking it's knee and then punching its chest.

The golden statue got up and smiled. "Good boy, your combat talent is even better than my student, Ares." The golden statue spoke. "Here take my inheritance, the Lotus Tactics. Imbue every move with the form of a Lotus."

Saying so, the golden statue pointed at Tristan's head and a ray of light penetrated his mind and branded the Lotus Tactics into it.

"Now follow me. I'll tell you a tale of the past." The Golden Statue touched a place in the cave and it shattered to open up a secret path.

The golden statue walked in, beckoning Tristan to follow. He began speaking. "Long ago, I was once a greedy man. I sought immortality and in its pursuit, I found a way to make my wish come true. That is how I turned into a golden statue and became a guardian of this place. This place holds a deep secret about this planet and today you will learn about it."
