" Athan! It's time. "

Arcued looked at Athan and nodded as only a few seconds were left before they all went to the so-called wonderland.

Athan suddenly felt the scenery changing in front of him, and he appeared in a different place.

This place was beautiful and filled with colorful plants and flowers, tall green trees, and a beautiful pond filled with colorful fishes. There were also small animals like a weird rabbit with a horn, a turtle with a big fan-like tail, etc.

But Athan felt his head spinning right after arriving here as he felt dizzy, ' What...'

*Thud...*

He couldn't keep his body balance and fell down as he felt everything spinning in front of him.

' This...seems to be physical status alignment. I need to close my eyes. '

After closing his eyes, Athan used his soul sense to see what was going on.

But after seeing his own body, He couldn't help but get shocked, ' What the hell! '

*Chueee...Chueee....*

Athan was speechless because this strange sound came from his own mouth.

He had turned into a strange brown colored small animal with four legs and curved spikes on his body.

But these changes were only physical as he could still see his void region.

He also felt something additional inside his void region. After seeing that thing, Athan knew that it was the cause of this physical transformation.

Inside his void region, There was an additional thing that looked like an orb. This orb had an image of a small brown-colored animal with curved spikes on its body.

' What should I do? Destroy this orb with my abyssal darkness, or keep this form? '

While Athan was thinking, He suddenly felt a threat and looked on his right side; A dark green beam was coming towards him.

He hurriedly used his Spiraling Cave of no Entry. Because this technique didn't require any gesture from his body, unlike his other techniques, He just needed to think about it and execute it inside his void region to make these spiraling holes appear in front of him. The range was short at first, but after completely mastering it to its last level, He could make spiraling holes appear as far as ten meters around him.

' Two spiraling holes should be enough to block that level of beam. '

Indeed, The beam was blocked as it completely diffused after going through two spiraling holes.

His eyes also glanced at the attacker.

It was a rabbit with a metal grey-colored horn on its forehead.

Athan dashed towards the rabbit but failed to control his body and tripped into a round ball.

' Uhh...'

Right after that, He sensed another beam coming towards him.

' Spiraling Cave of no Entry, Two Spiral holes. '

Once again, He completely diffused the beam.

Athan had difficulty adjusting his movement because this creature's legs were small and curvy, like a spring. If he moved forward, depending on the power of his movement, he could slightly bounce and wouldn't be able to take his next footstep properly.

' Should I destroy that orb? '

" Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa......."

Suddenly, His attention went to his right side as he saw a contestant suddenly appearing. But Athan remembered there was also a strange animal there.

Golden sand-like things surrounded his contestant and started to eat away his body. Blood sprayed out from his body, sometimes due to those golden sands eating him, but he was completely dead with no remains except some of the blood on the ground after five seconds.

' He must have destroyed that orb...So this is the result if one destroys this orb, huh? '

Athan calmed himself and turned his attention towards the rabbit, who seemed shocked after seeing what happened to that contestant.

But just like Athan, He also turned his attention back towards Athan and prepared for another attack.

Athan grinned internally seeing that, ' It's my turn now. '

He activated his chaos matrix and tried to turn his body into lightning dust.

*Shuaaaa...*

' It worked! '

Seeing that he could transform his legs into lightning dust, He floated into the air, shocking the rabbit greatly.

After flying, He opened his mouth and released a condensed ball of lightning dust power after consuming some chaos force.

But he didn't stop there and released one more lightning dust round shot before dashing towards the rabbit with his fast flying speed.

The rabbit panicked as a square shield of dark brown power appear in front of it, but It could only block the first lightning dust round shot and not the second.

*Booom...*

It didn't have time to put up more defense due to the speed of lightning dust round shot. In addition to that, this strange phenomenon of everyone turning into small animals put them in a spot here and restricted their abilities.

The rabbit was blasted into pieces after getting hit by the second lightning dust round shot and died.

But Athan saw many threats in this area as there were six or seven other small animals, and they also started throwing powers towards each other.

' Wonderland...hunt? Anyway, It's better to search for other places since I can fly. '

Thinking of this, Athan flew upward to get a better view and decided to move towards the south, where he saw a beam of golden lightning constantly in constant motion towards the sky.

After flying for five minutes, He finally reached there and was stunned to see the scene.

There were ten pedestals, and on each of those pedestals was a brightly shining weapon and a square silver plate with a set of chaos force flowing in them.

' Are those the so-called treasures...? '

He could feel those weapons were definitely far more powerful than his 2-star spear. The aura they exuded felt the same to him as Reikent's sword Nigel, The Stormfury of Water's edge.

' And those square slates with a set of order patterns on them...Could it be they are Weapon Order Techniques? '

He had heard about Weapon order techniques that can only be used by the required weapon. For instance, A sword order technique can only be executed using a sword.

These weapon order techniques had no stars because they can be constantly improved if a talented person uses them and tries to improve them.

These techniques contain the order of weapon, and once one can grasp it, They can make improvements in it and make the weapon order techniques more powerful.

But most importantly, These weapon order techniques were not used independently.

Just like how people can execute essence order techniques from any weapon as long as they were slightly compatible, One can combine an Essence order technique and a weapon order technique to create a new fearsome order technique from it—doing this required high comprehension, order grasping ability, and tons of practice.

But if one can really combine an essence order technique with a weapon order technique, It can become a powerful asset. These combined order techniques are called the Renken Order techniques in general.

Athan's eyes practically gleamed when he glanced at a chakram-like weapon on one of the pedestals.

It was not exactly a chakram since it was three times bigger than the normal chakram and looked more like a wheel with two sharp edges around it and connected with a curved material in the middle with red patterns.

' That's mine. '

Athan dashed towards the pedestal that contained that chakram-wheel weapon.

Even though it was not exactly a chakram, That weapon ought to be used just like a chakram.
