SSS Ranked Shadow Monarch: Summoning Infinite Shadows-Chapter 255: Werewolves

Aren looked at Elton as she flew above him, she was speaking words but his mind wasn’t there with her at all, as many other things were rushing into his mind.

’I’m not going to allow this to keep going, I’ll find the reason why they are after me, is it because I’m just an anomaly, do they know something I don’t? Do they know who I was before this?’ All the questions swirled inside Aren’s mind.

’If no one can answer my questions for me, then I’ll dig out the answers myself, I’ll make sure I get it, I’ll consume non-stop until I can find the answers for myself.’

Aren decided for himself, he had been moving at their pace all this time, but now he wanted to step ahead and take the bull by the horns.

As if she knew what Aren was thinking, Elton looked at him, the air tensed between them. Aren could swear that her eyes twitched while she looked at him.

After sending her avatar and being unable to do anything against Aren, she had really come to hate Aren and everything that he had put her through.

The feeling was likewise, her stunt with Raze had damaged him a lot. He hated her for nearly causing the death of Aiden.

Elton looked away from Aren and then began the explanation of the next trial. "In this trial, you are being watched by gods. They can choose to gift you, reward you, or pick you whenever, so you must do your absolute best to survive.

This trial is called Angel’s Fall, you must escape this space, find a door to escape, and that way you’ll enter the main stage of the trial.

The fog hides the doors, but it hides more than that as well, monsters birthed in the fog. You might think you have faced a lot of monsters to date, but what you have faced is nothing, and what you’ll face now is vastly different.

Do not be caught off guard, keep your head high, and fight for the right to be chosen by the gods." Elton said and then made to vanish, but Aren called out to her.

"Hello, Elton." His voice cut through the air, everyone that heard it was stunned, an awakened called an angel, that was never heard of before.

Elton looked at Aren, her eyes showed that she was shocked, never in her life did she think she would be called by a human in that way.

She didn’t respond, but she looked directly at him, she knew that Loki favoured this one, so she wasn’t going to touch Aren for now, and that pissed her off to no end.

"Is this really a necessary part in Angel’s Fall, or is it something that’s added to weed you down even more?" Aren asked.

She looked at Aren, shocked that he would dare to even ask such a question.

[You have received a reward from a god of light, Illuminas, one divine talisman. He finds your question amusing.]

A message suddenly came to Aren’s screen, it stunned him, seeing that he could gain rewards from the gods.

Elton seemed to also notice that Aren got a reward, her frown deepened.

"There is no questioning the Hundred Trials," Elton said, she looked at Aren with cold eyes, "every part of what is said is part of the trial." After saying that, she looked around, and then announced, "due to the question of the trials, the entire trial will be increased in difficulty by one level."

When everyone heard that, their hearts dropped into their stomachs. Everyone around looked toward Aren, rage filling them, but Aren ignored every look, no one here was even an enemy for him, they didn’t register.

Elton smiled after seeing that she gave Aren enough enemies, then she turned and vanished from there, signalling the start of the trial.

A few people wanted to immediately rush at Aren and give him a piece of their mind, but the fog quickly spread and covered everything, everyone was now covered inside the black fog, where visibility was only a few feet around themselves.

Aren immediately grabbed Athena and then turned on Shadow Sense to ensure that he could see everything around.

"Athena, make sure you stay close, we’ll find a door." He said.

"I understand." She replied.

Not long after the fog spread, something entered Aren’s senses, and it wasn’t human, it had a humanoid form, hunched over, covered in fur and carrying extremely long fangs.

"This monster?" Aren muttered, watching as it got closer, "it’s a werewolf." Aren said, and right in that moment, the werewolf burst out of the fog, decent height, extremely long fangs and claws, as it tried to bite into Aren.

"Fang," Aren called out, and instantly Fang appeared, lunging at the werewolf, it bit into the neck of the werewolf, throwing it down before biting right into the head, killing it instantly.

Aren looked at the werewolf, it wasn’t all that strong, it couldn’t stand against Fang, but it was still pretty useful, and he wanted to know what memories it had.

"Consume," he called in a cold tone, the body immediately vanished and became one of his summons.

"Fang, make sure none of those things come close to Athena," Aren said.

Fang immediately moved beside Athena to keep her safe. Aren began scanning around with Shadow Sense to try and find the door.

’I didn’t even think things like werewolves would exist, but wait, if they do, does that mean they are humans? Did the angels turn humans into werewolves for the trials?’ Aren began thinking as he scanned around, having a lot of questions about the source of the werewolves.

But those questions would all have to wait because after killing the first werewolf, the number of them in the fog greatly rose, and so did their strength. Aren could sense a ton of them around him, he knew that the real thing was about to start.
