Chapter 276 The Mirror Ability?
“Does anyone else have any questions?” Theia turned her gaze through the crowd and she grinned coldly in her heart when she saw that no one dared to ask anymore.
Some of the suitors wanted to raise their hands, but when that pair of cold gazes swept over them, their bodies instantly became cold, making them stop their movements. This woman is so scary! Everyone thinks in their hearts.
“Because you have no questions, you can all line up according to the order I will show you.” Theia said while waving her hand.
A large screen appeared in front of the crowd and they saw their rosters from second to last scoring top scorer. From the looks of it, the order was in line with everyone's final results in the second assessment.
Everyone followed Theia's instructions without making a fuss. They march before the Mirror of Truth and Lies. The applicants were curious as to what this thing could do.
“Dante Silveria, you can enter the Mirror of Truth and Lies.” Theia said expressionlessly.
Since the prince was the one who scored the highest during the second appraisal, he was also the first to enter into the Mirror of Truth and Lies.
Prince Dante nodded towards Theia when he heard her name being called.
Under everyone's curious gaze, the prince walked towards the door-like object while hiding the rising tension in his heart.
As the prince approached the Mirror of Truth and Lies, he saw that the space inside this thing rippled like water.
‘This thing won't kill me, right?’ He nervously muttered in his heart.
At this time, the prince was only a few steps away from the Mirror of Truth and Lies. The nervousness he felt became heavier and he could already hear his loud heartbeat.
“What do you think will happen to him once he gets inside that thing?” Someone quietly asked a question.
The crowd pondered, but they did not know what the answer was, so they only kept quiet as they watched the prince walk slowly.
Prince Dante pulled and exhaled deeply before taking the final step towards ‘ptu’. To everyone's surprise, nothing important happened to him. He had just passed through the Mirror of Truth and Lies as if he was walking towards an ordinary door.
The only thing everyone saw was the space ripples inside the door as the prince stepped inside. Besides, there was really nothing to see.
“What? What happened?” Someone asked in surprise.
“See! Look at his face!” Someone showed.
Everyone immediately turned their gazes back to the prince and they saw that he was now sweating a lot.
What did he experience even as the top scorer, he actually revealed such a reaction? Thinking of this, the remaining applicants became even more nervous.
“Brother, what do you see behind that door?” Someone asked the prince.
Prince Dante glanced at the man blankly and replied in a slightly trembling voice. “I can't talk about it.”
He then turned around and left after saying those words.
“Next person. Go inside.” The cold voice of Theia woke them up.
The remaining applicants step into the Mirror of Truth and Lies. Everyone who has passed through that door will always have the same strange look and fear.
Suddenly.
“I can't get in?! What happened?!” A suitor exclaimed nervously. He tried to enter into the Mirror of Truth and Lies, but he could not even step forward anymore. It was as if an invisible wall was blocking his way.
Hearing this, Theia glanced at the applicants with a cold gaze.
Everyone could feel the killing intent emitted from that gaze. However, they were all astonished about this. Why would he reveal such killing intent to the suitor when he just failed to pass through the Mirror of Truth and Lies?
“You, stand behind me.” Theia pointed at the man.
The man nervously nodded his head before he walked behind Theia.
What the hell's going on? Did the man pass the assessment while the others failed? No one is sure…
The assessment continued and several other applicants failed to get through the door. There were fourteen of them in total. It was only a small number of the hundreds who passed the second assessment.
“Those who made it through the Mirror of Truth and Lies, you may stay here and wait for further instructions. As for the people behind me, follow me to meet my master!” Theia said in a neutral tone.
“What?! How fortunate! Did they pass the third assessment?”
“They really have a chance to meet the legendary Jiu Sect Master ..”
“I envy them..”.
The fourteen people behind Theia were initially nervous, but when they heard that they could meet the famous Sect Master Jiu Shen. All their worries disappeared and their faces were beaming.
Theia snorted in her heart when she saw everyone's reaction. He then brought fourteen people into Jiu Shen's room.
Prince Dante furrowed his brows as he looked at those people. He knew nothing about them, and he wanted to know what was waiting for them.
“My brother, did we fail the test? Why did elder Theia take those people away?” Princess Sylvia asked worriedly.
Prince Dante smiled at his sister and patted her head. “Do not worry. I think we passed this assessment.”
Princess Sylvia's eyes sparkled when she heard his words. “Bulkah?”
“Of course!” The prince nodded his head with great certainty.
“You sensed killing intent earlier, right? I think there is something wrong with those people and that is why they are rejected by the Mirror of Truth and Lies. Furthermore, I already have some guesses as to what this thing is capable of. .” Prince Dante added in a calm tone.
