Chapter 1034: The Gates are open. The trial has begun.

In the personal preparatory space of the Dungeon, Arabel, in the guise of a Dragon, found free time to relax and decided to check the {Local Systems Network}. To her surprise, she came across a broadcast of Coco the Fox.

“Dan, look here,” she called, distracting Idan.

Idan, in turn, lost his concentration in the form of a vampire, and many of the blood strands he was working on became entangled. In the end, he gathered them back into one big ball of blood.

“What happened?”

“Here, take a look,” Arabel handed him a system window with an open broadcast.

“Eh? Is this Prina?” Idan immediately recognized Prina in her image as the Queen of the Womskinner Race.

“Yes, and look who else is there,” Arabel nodded, pointing at the Dark Dragon and the Ruler of the Domain of Saints.

It didn’t take long for Idan to figure out who they were.

“So this is the mother of that dark dragon that my wife castrated?” asked Idan with a grin, glancing at Arabel, who was very embarrassed when he reminded her of her old deed.

She was still hiding what other “gift” she had left for that dragon.

Now, seeing that this dragon’s mother was outside the Dungeon Gate, Arabel couldn’t help but feel nervous.

“Irene and the others came too…” said Idan.

“I’m sure that if they hadn’t come, this broadcast wouldn’t have happened,” Arabel reminded Idan, who exactly is broadcasting on the Sistema network.

“That’s a scoundrel,” — Idan could only smile.

“At least now Coco has the opportunity to personally earn System Points to buy her favorite candies.”

Idan then returned to training his abilities while Arabel kept her eyes on the broadcast.

Thanks to Coco, they were aware of the rules of the event for participants and the order in which the groups would enter.

***

Not only Idan and Arabel, but also many other Awakened Ones followed Coco’s broadcast with interest.

While other members of the feed couldn’t post content, Coco was the only one sharing what was happening at the Dungeon Gates. Her broadcast, in which she showed three Rank 6 creatures, became very popular from the very beginning.

In the Kingdom, Leo almost immediately noticed Coco’s broadcast and, using his System abilities, began sharing the video with all the residents. Showing what is happening at the gates of the dungeon, while sharing information about the actions of the strongest Guild members to protect the cities.

Leo’s actions allowed Milica, Sierra, and even Geminia to observe what was happening at the Dungeon Gates.

“Tsch!” — Sierra clicked her tongue, watching with a slight smile as Prina finally decided to take on her true form.

The Eye of the Web also paid attention to Coco’s broadcast and was able to connect her to the Federation network so that everyone who had access to the Federation’s limited network could see what was happening. Among them were the top leadership of the Federation and influential families.

{Local Systems Network} was available not only in the Central Continent, but also outside of it, in the other three continents. Thanks to Coco’s broadcast, Awakened People from other continents could watch what was happening in the very center of the Central Continent.

***

In the other two personal preparation spaces, where groups of Awakened gathered, preparing to defend the Southern and Western Gates of the Dungeons, also paid attention to the broadcast.

Soon, someone in each group noticed something unusual.:

“Hey, aren’t these the last two that came from the direction of the Central Continent?”

“What are they doing there?”

“Shouldn’t they be preparing to defend the Central Gate?”

“So they’re the leaders of the Kingdom Guild?”

“Wait, are they collaborating with creatures from other worlds?”

“No, it doesn’t look like it, can’t you see that they’re against each other?”

Instead of discussing sixth-rank beings, they were talking about Idan and Arabel. More precisely, about their doppelgangers, while the real Idan and Arabel were actively preparing to defend their gates.

All the Awakened Ones that the World chose to be Gatekeepers were those who stood up to the creatures from other worlds to some extent, and everyone understood this to some extent. However, the appearance of Prina caused them to have doubts about Idan and Arabel, as well as, in particular, the Kingdom.

At the appointed time, the dungeon Gates began to shine, emitting a bright light. A digital timer appeared above the gate, which counted down exactly 24 hours.

A majestic voice sounded three times, announcing the beginning of the event.

Coco’s broadcast was still going on non-stop, and everyone could watch as the beasts disappeared inside the gate.

People looked at the screen with some regret, realizing that they would not be able to see what was happening inside. But suddenly, the broadcast went dark, and in the next second, an amazing sight appeared before the eyes of the audience.

A huge arena spread out in front of everyone, shrouded in eternal twilight — not a night haze, but a pale, cold half-light that made the world around seem faded and ancient.

A dense ancient forest stretches around the arena. The trees stand in a dense wall, tall and dark, with twisted trunks and sparse dry branches resembling claws.𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

A huge Gothic castle is suspended on massive chains above the central part of the arena. It was as if he had been plucked from another world and anchored in the air by ancient magic. Its towers reach into the sky, the windows are empty and dark, the spires are sharp, and the stone walls are covered with cracks, moss, and traces of time. The chains that hold the castle go up into the misty heights and are lost in the floating stone massifs.

Under the castle lies an open cemetery, large and neglected. Old tombstones, sagging crosses, broken crypts and stone slabs — all this is drowned in a thick low fog that spreads almost over the ground. The fog here seems to be alive: it slowly creeps between the graves, hides silhouettes and makes any movement eerie and elusive.

And in the sky above all this huge boulders of stones hover. Some of them look like fragments of ancient rocks, while others look like pieces of destroyed buildings. They slowly drift in the air, creating the feeling that the world around them is unstable and based only on magic and ancient power.

The three beasts that entered through the gate appeared at the edge of the forest and looked at each other in confusion. At that moment, a lone figure flew down from the Gothic castle and disappeared into the fog.

The Mad Vampire King has begun his hunt.
