NOVEL NEXT Chapter 24: Go
"Who is he? So brave..."
Enzo naturally caught people's attention right away for being the first to come forward.
He was even more conspicuous for still looking like a high school student.
"I know him, he's an ordinary person who just awaken today at the Vera Primordial Association..." Someone suddenly said, recognizing Enzo.
He was probably like James who had seen his picture through one of the students who witnessed him at the association.
"What are you saying? He just awaken today?"
"Is he already strong enough or is he so stupid to think he can fight a Swamp Zombie with Half-Boss status?"
The fact that Enzo had only awakened today was too shocking for everyone including Luke.
He gave Enzo a strange look before saying, "boy, do you think you have the ability? You should have fought Level 2 or 3 monsters first!"
Perhaps he wasn't happy that someone else stepped forward first, so he mocked him.
Enzo who stepped forward did not stop his steps but he looked at him and replied, "you don't have to worry about my abilities, just know that I have the courage that you don't!"
His voice was quite loud, echoing into the distance because it was mixed with his Primordial Energy.
Everyone was dumbfounded at what he said.
He was actually mocking Luke. The man's face instantly became ugly.
"Boy, you better not just be good at talking or else, even if you manage to escape from those zombies, you won't be able to escape from me," he said coldly.
He was so offended that he unhesitatingly threatened Enzo.
However, Enzo didn't care at all. He didn't even look at him anymore.
"Son, are you sure you'll accept this challenge?" The city lord asked as Enzo got closer to him.
He understood the lives of Awakeners and their powers very well, so he knew that someone who had just awoken was still very weak.
Although this challenge was made to be very difficult, if the challenger was too weak, it was practically seeking certain death.
The city lord wondered if he was actually not that weak.
"I'll fight, how do I get in? Is it through that door?" replied Enzo without any tone of hesitation at all.
He asked because the door of the Sky Kekkai seemed to be fused with the wall on each side.
To open it would probably require the help of the old man holding the staff.
"If you're so sure, fine," said the city lord.
"You can enter through the door, we'll open it, just make sure to step quickly. Once you're in, we won't open the door again unless you win. The only way for you to escape is to return to your world. That is if you are fast enough to do so..."
He also explained to Enzo that he would not be able to escape easily.
Enzo, who was not worried, did not respond at all. He walked towards the Sky Kekkai's door, arriving in no time.
"Get ready!" Elder Mao suddenly shouted at him.
He glanced at her for a moment before staring at the door.
Suddenly, it was completely open.
"Now, quickly enter!" Elder Mao added.
Enzo took a step into it without any hesitation at all and the door closed in such a split second that he barely realized how it closed.
It completely confined him inside that cube of light with an extremely terrifying zombie.
Its height of almost five meters made Enzo feel small.
The zombie's red eyes had been staring at him since he approached the Sky Kekkai.
Seeing him enter, the zombie seemed to be somewhat disbelieving.
However, after that it roared loudly at him and then flapped its wings vigorously.
Whoosh!
The zombie suddenly looked like an eagle lunging at its prey, moving very quickly towards him.
He probably still wouldn't be able to dodge even if he had 100 Agility Points.
