The Guardian's Escape

In the center of the dark red trial world, there is an unusual palace that looks like a giant conch. A glowing blue portal is floating in front of the palace.

Many small octopus-like creatures wearing strange mechanical helmets crowd around the portal, desperately pulling the edge of it with their tiny tentacles. It seems they are trying hard to close the portal.

As three figures step out of the portal, these little creatures disperse all at once.

Looking at the fleeing octopuses, K the big guy asks, “Your Majesty, should we clean them up? ”

“They are just some automatic tools created by the guardian. Don’t waste your power on them.” Queen doesn’t even bother to look at those little things.

Beaugosse curls his lips and scoffs, “The fashion taste of these guardians is pathetic. Our lord should have wiped them out at the very beginning.” A gorgeous cape with feather-shaped patterns all over it appears on his shoulders.

Queen gives him a warning look, “Always be respectful to our lord. Even if there has been no oracle for hundreds of years, we still need to complete the original revelation. ”

With a flick of her pink whip, a huge eyeball wearing a metal crown appears out of thin air. And Queen is standing in the center of the crown. The huge floating eyeball blinks.

“The trial guardian, come out!” Countless chains shoot out from the pupils of the huge eyeball, swaying in the air like Medusa’s snake hair. The chains densely surround the conch-shaped palace.

A roaring sound is coming from in the palace. It sounds like a giant creature is breathing inside.

“K, I’ll give you an enhancement to test what this guardian is made of.”

The tip of the pink whip in Queen’s hand opens like a snake’s mouth and blows out a pink bubble. The bubble swells up and takes K’s whole body inside. K’s muscles grow at a visible speed as if he had taken some strengthening potion. When the bubble bursts, K is twice as tall and strong as before.

K the giant lowers his body, preparing for a sprint. His feet are in a pair of rough-looking mechanical shoes. With bronze gears and pipes of different sizes interconnected, the shoes present the unique beauty of the steampunk style.

In a flash, K dashes out like a bolt of white lightning. He rapidly pierces through the conch-shaped palace several times, leaving white light trails that slowly disappear.

A few seconds later, the entire palace is shattered, disintegrated into tiny cubes that shoot out in all directions.

A big platform is exposed in the ruins. There is just a chair on the platform and it is empty.

K lands on the platform, his mechanical shoe heels still emitting lots of steam from two rows of pipes.

“My Queen, the guardian is not here.”

“How can the guardian of the power trial be such a coward and escape?” Queen finds it unreasonable.

“Haha, is this a joke? I thought I’d have a tough battle with the guardian here, but he has actually chickened out.” Beaugosse is hovering in the air with the cape spreading to form a pair of large metal wings.

Queen thinks for a few seconds and raises her head. She says to Beaugosse, “Something is not right. The octopuses that fled away just now are suspicious. Go and search for them.” Then she adds, “By the way, if you encounter that Saint, just get rid of him.”

“As you command.” Beaugosse, still in the air, raises one hand to his chest and makes a bow to Queen. Then dozens of his replications are separated from his body and fly away in different directions. The last one of Beaugosse folds his wings and lands on the platform.

Queen gets onto the platform and sits in the chair. She grins, “Once we get the sixth fragment, we will have access to the revelation. Those who call themselves Hipsters seem to have their own revelation, too. That’s ridiculous.
