Chapter 6: The Test (Part 3)

Start from the beginning
                                        

It wad a castle or a palace as one would call it, a very big one at that too. He had seen his fair share of castles in movies, mainly ones based around the Middle age and such but he never expected to be standing in front of one and not a one residing within in a small village.

Issei: "Holy shit..."

As Issei stared at the massive structure before him, a part of him wondered why he didn't see it before? Like, it wasn't like it was hard to spot because it was legit sitting right in front of him.

Issei: 'How the hell did I miss this?'

Issei walked over to the castle following the people of this village, As Issei approached the castle, an overwhelming sense of dread consumed him, intensifying with each step. He couldn't help but feel a growing fear for what awaited him inside.

Phasing through the door, Issei realized that physical actions held no significance in this trial, a fact that no longer surprised him. This particular trial focused on testing his mental strength. However, he couldn't help but wonder why Ddraig would subject him to such an ordeal. Hadn't Dantrle and Vergil already had him undergo similar challenges?

Confusion began to cloud Issei's thoughts, and he couldn't shake the feeling that things would only become more perplexing as the trial progressed.

Upon entering the castle, Issei found the interior to be exactly as he had anticipated: a lavish space adorned with golden treasures and precious jewels. However, the prominence of red and green caught his attention. He mentally made note of this observation while continuing to follow the villagers who guided his path.

All of the villagers soon bowed as Issei looked ahead of him and saw a young man sitting on a golden throne. Just from that alone. Issei could tell that he was the so-called "King" of this Village.

He didn't seem like much of a King, a warrior yes but a king? No, Issei couldn't see that

Issei: "T-The Boosted Gear!"

Issei couldn't believe it, this man had the boosted Gear. There is no way that there were two Red Dragon Emperor or two Sacred Gears, no it wss something else. Since this was clearly a memory than that would mean that...this King was a previous Red Dragon Emperor, someone who lived hundreds of years ago.
