Chapter 3989: Entering

People moved toward the gate, but they also moved toward the people with keys with the intention of snatching them.
Including me.
In front of me, there is a delicate green-brown key is floating. It's the size of my palm and beautiful.
Prime Volsnorth had given this to me.
It is one of one hundred and eight keys of the castle and offers a tremendous advantage.
Though I will have to protect it till I reach the gate. They are fair game till them.
People would kill of them. One had already died, and a few got seriously injured.
Only a second had passed.
As to why I had to take it now and not after reaching the gate. Well, I have to take it out now. It is one of the rules or keys wouldn't work.
It's why everyone with keys protecting had brought them out.
Hun!
I counted the keys that came out and was immediately surprised.
The number is over a hundred, even every three hundred years. The number of keys never reaches above sixty, but nearly all the keys are out.
Something is definitely happening.
"Give me the key!" a man shouted and came at with his ax blazing.
I didn't even look at him; I just kept flying.
A fraction of a second later, he appeared in front of me, while a saber appeared in my hand and swung it.
Our weapons clashed and his eyes widened as he flew back, vomiting blood.
It stopped some people, but more kept coming, attacking me from all sides.
"Good," I said and swung my sword.
CLANG CLANG CLANG!
My saber clashed against the attacks coming at me. Like a phantom, I defended against every attack coming toward me, while still moving toward the gate.
The castle has things that give them a chance to light up the potential to reach the next stage.
Just a potential, not even a sure chance.
Prime isn't a level anyone could reach.
Even among the four thousand, there might not be a single person who would reach that level.
It is that hard.
Anyone who becomes Prime has got great opportunities and an equal amount of luck to reach where they are.
It is us that these people are fighting and for it; they have lost their lives.
I watched for a few seconds before turning back to the gate and stepping into it.
Immediately, everything turned dark, before brightening up. I found myself in a round black hall, with a hundred and one people.
All of them had the keys.
Only those with keys could come here directly. Those without it, need to take a long route, which makes them hard to catch up with us.
I pushed those thoughts away when I noticed something.
"It should be green, why it is black?" asked someone. The same question I am having in my
mind.
Every three years, it is white, and every three hundred years. It is green; there is no information about the hall being black.
Hun!
Many were confused, but some seemed to know what was happening with a smug smile on
their faces.
I looked at their faces carefully. The more I looked, the more sure, I would become that these people know something.
Hummm!
I was thinking about whether to ask them directly, when a gentle hum rang out and bronze energy came out from every side of the hall, including the tile beneath our feet.
They begin to concentrate on the twelve points, and slowly those twelve points begin to
expand.
Forming into twelve elaborate bronze doors.
