In The DC World With A System - Chapter 72

” Camelot, Where are you? What do you mean by that? ” he shouted out. But he quiets down when no reply came.

He saw nothing around him and thought to himself ‘ This type of vague tests is very annoying. They never clarify things and run away, waiting for us to solve everything from the limited information they have given. ‘

Thomas stood in the interior of the Camelot castle looking around to see if he can sense Camelot’s spirit of anything but there was nothing.

He started to move towards the center or at least in the direction he thinks the center really is. Every step he took he felt something strange but he can’t pinpoint what it was.

He walked in one particular direction until he was back at his original spot. It seemed like he walked in a circle. He continued in different directions yet he returned to the original starting spot.

‘ Ahh, this is very annoying and irritating. How does it feel like I am in a labyrinth?’ He thought and felt something odd happening to his body.

He continued it for a few minutes until he cannot find a single way out of this. His efforts we’re completely fruitless and his temper began to flare. By now he has noticed what has changed, his temper is flaring and the gravity has increased to five times that of Earth. If not for his strong body he might be crawling on the floor at this moment.

He angrily shouted, “I had enough of this damn castle and it’s lonely streets. I cannot bear anymore of this.

Above that, the increasing gravity is tiring me out faster. I will blast off this piece of stone and build another in it’s place. ”

He was losing his cool pretty easily in this place and in his angry fit, he destroyed a part of the building with his magic blast attack.

The halberd, axe, spear and arrows rained on Thomas as these weapons were hurled in his direction.

Fortunately, Thomas was sėnsɨtɨvė to his surroundings whenever he is using magic as such the attacks which were sent his ways collided with the earth wall which was raised to act as a barrier.

As Thomas was protecting himself from lances, arrows and spears he could see the ground around him shake. He sent them back and used his spells to attacks the foes.

If Thomas was sane at the moment he would have noticed the blunder he is walking into. These spells didn’t work on these armours, in fact they were getting stronger with each magic strike.

The magic energy in those attacks were absorbed by them making their attacks and armour defense stronger.

But this increase isn’t strong enough to defeat Thomas. Thomas is so strong that he can take on an army with ease.

Since these attacks didn’t work, the long range strategy was dropped and the cavalry along with the infantry has made its way towards Thomas.

This slight shaking of earth increased as more time passed and he could even hear the sound of cavalry. This made him aware of the new threat and his mind began to think of all the possible counters against the cavalry.

This helped Thomas regain control of his lost senses. ‘ What am I doing? Why would I attack anything in Camelot? What possessed me to do something that foolish?’ He criticised himself and cursed loudly for the blunder he created for himself because of this angry fit.

He murmured while defending and stop his magic attacks. ” My task is to find the central building of Camelot which was King Arthur’s residence and royal court.

The Battle I am fighting has nothing to do with my objective. He hid the actual building so that I cannot find it. So where can it be?”

Hd put more focus on the possible places or direction in which the main building can be.

At that very moment he felt the outer surface of the earth wall he erected to act as a blockade crumbling. The doubts which Thomas has about the Castle of King Arthur, also crumbled just like the wall surface.

Cavalry is not a normal force. It was actually the trump card of a kingdom in the Medieval Age. As such horses and other units are stored in the safest place in the kingdom or town.

And that place is normally a castle or location close to castle from which reinforcement can be dispatched should the need arose.

With that in mind, Thomas acted.

Back in Gotham,

While Thomas is busy with the test, the entire city of Gotham was in state of chaos. All sorts of rumours starting from Lucifer descending to God passing his judgment on heathens, pagans and guilty floated around.

Within an hour, it was spread throughout the world making headlines and inciting chaos.

There are still many who believe that the photos are cropped, edited and photoshopped but this gave all the religious leaders around world a chance to propagate and increase their followers.

While this caused trouble throughout the world, Gotham being the origin suffered the most. All the rich and powerful people have made arrangements for their escape should need to be arose.

This action caused even Talia, who arrived in Gotham as an undercover be prepared to act. The League of Shadows are villains but it hasn’t reached the level where they will let demons go rampant.

She received words from her father about dealing with this threat personally if others can’t do it.

Bruce Wayne as the richest man in the world knows about some secrets which are most kept hidden. His attention was on the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defence (BPRD).

As an organization under the Government, the news about it’s existence can’t be hidden from some powerful people and Bruce Wayne happens to be one such person.

He awaits their arrival so he can get more information about this threat his city face. It was what the good doctor promised him.
