Lord of the Karmic Fate-Chapter 124 Evaluation Hall

In the center of Nova City.

Standing in front of a large skyscraper with a helical shape that spun counterclockwise slowly, Raven stared toward the top with an awed expression.

"So this is the Realm Association, huh?" Raven mumbled as he lowered his gaze down at the entrance.

After the first round of the World's Clash, the world descended into complete chaos which lasted for an entire month. Buildings were demolished, cities were burnt, environments were razed, and people were killed daily.

However, luckily after witnessing how Raven won the first round of the World's Clash for humanity, things slowly started to calm down and get back under control while the United World League decided to renovate all the cities that were almost completely destroyed.

This, naturally, included the headquarters of the Realm Association as that was one of the main targets of all the people during the Dawn of Chaos.

"Let's not just stand around, let's go inside." grabbing his hand the next second, Luna dragged Raven inside the Realm Association, immediately attracting the attention of everyone inside.

"Hey, check that out! Isn't that Silver Death Luna?"

"Where? Truly! It is really her! Wait... Who is that guy beside her? They are even holding hands, what the hell?! Is that her boyfriend?"

"Boyfriend? Are you dumb or what? That is her brother!"

"Her brother? Do you mean Raven Wright who had been gone missing for three years?"

"Yeah, him. Though, who cares about him? Instead, look at her armor! She looks just like a war goddess from a myth!"

"She had always looked like a war goddess to me. It's just that her beauty now seems to be enhanced several folds because of that silver armor! I wonder who made it for her."

As Luna and Raven walked toward the desk at the center of the hall, people staring at her started to murmur between each other, mostly wondering where she got her armor and admiring her glamour.

Upon seeing the lustful eyes directed at her little sister Raven narrowed his eyes scarcely, his eyes emitting a hint of chilling coldness.

"Lady Luna, welcome back. What brings you here today? Applying for another mission?" a beautiful lady in her mid-thirties with blond hair tied into a ponytail smiled sweetly at Luna before she shifted her gaze at Raven and then at their hands.

'So he must be him, hu...h?'

The young lady seemed to put the pieces together and recognize Raven, however, when her gaze met Raven's suddenly the words she wished to ask next stuck in her throat, and her cheeks got flushed a little.

'Weird... Why do I feel like this? My heart feels like it will jump out of my chest.'

"Miss Ella, I see you are as cheerful as always." Luna chuckled softly, surprising many around her as in the past her image was that of a cold and merciless goddess who rarely smiled and never laughed.

"Am I seeing things or did she laugh just now?"

"No... She did..."

"My God... That smile... I think I have just fallen in love with her even more."

"...Me too."

Happened to hear what the people around him muttered, Raven raised a brow and looked around.

Meanwhile, seemingly completely oblivious about what others talked about around here, Luna looked at Miss Ella and said;

"Though, today I am not here to assign for a mission. I just simply decided to accompany my brother who wishes to take the evaluation test."

"Oh?" Miss Ella raised a brow, but as she knew Raven was gone missing for several years she understood the reason why he was taking the test only now.

"I see. Then please follow me."

Shortly after that, Raven and Luna were brought before a door.

"Sir, please go inside. Once you are inside just follow the instructions."

Raven after looking at Luna, who stared at him with sparkling eyes nodded and walked inside.

'Pretty large for a room.' Raven thought to himself as he watched that he stood at the edge of a massive room, one so big that it almost had the size of an entire football stadium!

"Welcome, to the Evaluation Hall! Here, you will be able to create your Avatar ID. First, please fill out the following questionnaire ."

'Questions?' Raven frowned and watched as several holographic panels appeared before him.

-----------------

After filling out the form, Raven watched as the hologram vanished and the robotic voice once again began to speak.

"Your data had been saved. Evaluation Difficulty now will be set to Rank 43!"

'What?' Raven's eyes widened and watched as suddenly something materialized not far away from him.

It was a giant creature, one that had the appearance of a white rabbit with two black mantis-like scythes coming out of its chest. Just taking one glance at it, Raven knew it was a dangerous creature that could claim the lives of others in seconds!

"Please defeat your enemy in the fastest way possible! During the fight, you are not forced to use your Artifact if you don't want to."

'Oh, that is good to hear. Then I can use my new weapon, right?' Raven thought as he summoned his Celeste Blade.

'Though, it said I am not forced to use my Artifact. Does that mean if I want I can? But currently, we are outside of Realms, so how could I even use it?' Raven felt confused, however, it only lasted for a few seconds before he turned serious and pressed the switch on his weapon.

Whoosh!

In a flash, the upper part of his umbrella flew down and floated beside him while what remained in his hand was its shaft with the blade in it.

'Well, I won't use my Artifact at all so there is no point in thinking about it right now. Instead, I should focus on that creature.' 𝙛𝘳𝒆𝒆𝒘e𝗯n𝗼𝘷𝚎𝚕.𝒄૦𝓶

"The fight will commence once you say 'ready'."

Upon hearing the robotic voice Raven took a deep breath and nodded.

"I'm ready."

The very moment he said those words, the beast about a hundred meters away from him vanished and reappeared only a meter away from him, its left scythe gliding at his throat from the side like a bolt of lightning!

'Fast!'

Although foreseeing that the beast will move at high speed, Raven was still caught out of his guard and failed to react in time.

However, he didn't even have to as the fabric floating beside him flashed and appeared right between him and the assault, protecting him from getting his throat getting sliced wide open!

Clang!

"Great job!" despite knowing the fabric was just an object and didn't understand him, Ravens still praised it for saving him and without even wasting a second he grabbed his sword's hilt.

Swish!

With one single and fast swing, Raven's blade sliced through the beast's body diagonally, immidieatly causing its body to disperse into white particles.

"Congratulations! You have slain your enemy!"

Whoosh!

"Eh?" Raven's eyes widened slightly when he watched as now there were six creatures in the distance while on either side of him two individuals appeared, one holding a bow while the other a dagger.

"Evaluation Difficulty now will be set to Rank 44!"

"Please defeat your enemies in the fastest way possible!"

"The fight will commence once you say 'ready'."

'Rank 44, increased amount of enemies and two helpers?' Raven frowned before realization dawned on him.

'So that's how it is. Now I understand.' Raven thought to himself but to make sure he was right he looked at the figure holding the dagger beside him.

"Straighten your posture." 𝘧r𝘦𝗲w𝘦𝚋𝐧o𝘷𝘦𝙡.co𝑚

Whoosh!

In an instant, the figure did just what he was told, straightening his back in a way that he looked almost as if he was saluting.

'As I have thought. This test is way more complex than others would think. It not only evaluates one's strength and abilities but also other skills too such as commanding skill, ability to protect one's comrades and the way one can fight against more than one enemy.'

'Everything I do here, including the smallest detail will define my Character Rank. As for my Role, I guess it will be determined depending on my fighting style.'

Coming to such a conclusion in just a few seconds, Raven raised his weapon scarcely while the corner of his lips curved upward.

'Now, this is what I call interesting!'
