Chapter 171 Chapter 171- Seraphica Colosseum (Part 9)

The carriage continued moving peacefully with no problems at all. Minutes passed slowly for the duo as they watched the outside world, growing darker and darker as the sun set in the distance and the moon rose in the sky, illuminating the dark sky.

The weather dropped a few degrees in temperature and the snow intensified considerably. But, it only added another layer of beauty to the magnificent city and its buildings and streets. The snow fall region was perhaps the most beautiful out of all the other regions because of this single detail.

But, soon enough, all of those thoughts vanished out of their heads and something else took the entire space. Slowly, a looming shadow appeared above their heads, catching their attention.

Arthur instinctively looked out of the window at the outside world and there he saw it. In the far distance, the divine tower gradually unraveled itself from behind the mist and darkness, revealing its true horrifyingly majestic appearance.

Arthur's mouth dropped in pure shock, unable to contain his reaction at all. His eyes slowly widened as he felt something he had never felt before hit him like a train. Frozen in his place; all he could do was take all the details of the tower as they appeared piece by piece.

The structure was tall... Incomprehensibly so. Even as Arthur's eyes looked up, he couldn't see its peak. It was as if the tower pierced through the heavens and reached a level beyond.

Its base was built of polished, shiny black stone that seemed to almost glisten under the gaze of the moon. Ancient carvings and drawings spiraled up its colossal walls, giving it an ancient, fantastical appearance.

A structure that had been standing for thousands of years, unperturbed by the cruel passage of time, looking as powerful as ever. It was no man-made structure as no man can build such a world-defying tower.

'The Divine Tower...' Arthur thought to himself as he felt his heart rate increase tremendously. An extremely powerful rush of excitement took over his body as he felt his body starting to shake. Something weird was going on and he didn't know what it was.

Looking down at his body, Arthur felt quite confused. 'What is happening? This feeling...'

The tower had done something to him that he could not understand at all. He assumed that it was simply his sense of adventure being stimulated but this was far from that. He was feeling as if he had seen a lost piece of him... Something he had been seeking his entire life and now it was right in front of him.

Isla, completely occupied by the scenery, didn't even notice Arthur's weird behavior. She was also captivated by the tower and its appearance.

"Is this your first time seeing the tower?" The man asked.

"... Yeah..." Isla replied.

"Hahaha, I figured that much. Everyone has the same exact reaction seeing it the first time. It is truly beautiful."

"I want to see what's inside..." Arthur muttered without thinking twice.

"Wow..." Arthur's eyes twinkled. 'So this is the Colosseum! It looks amazing!'

The carriage slowly reached the massive gates of the Colosseum and stopped amongst the many other carriages lined up in the parking area.

"There we are!"

"Thank you for the trip, uncle."

"No problem."

"How much do you need?"

"5 silver coins." The man said.

After paying the man, Arthur and Isla left the carriage and stepped through the gates still looking around them like children going to the amusement park for the first time in their lives. Everything looked magnificent and with the Divine Tower in the background, this was truly a sight of a lifetime.

"Don't lose focus, Arthur." Isla nudged her friend slightly. "We can't let our guard down."

"Hm? Oh right! Ehem, we need to focus!" Slapping his face a few times, Arthur tried to keep his focus. But, that didn't last that long.

"Is that guy selling candy?!"

"Hey, wait!" Before she could even notice it, Isla turned around, only to realize that Arthur had walked to one of the many shops around the Colosseum selling snacks and merchandise.

"Sigh... What can I do with him?" She facepalmed before she walked after him.

Unbeknownst to her, far away, a few eyes were looking at the duo with sheer attentiveness.

"... Tell His Highness that they arrived... Only two of them. There is no sight of the rest." One man said coldly as put his hand down, deactivating the spell he was casting. His eyes were as cold as ever. "The Gifted have arrived."
