Chapter 185: Chapter 185

Immediately Kimberly uttered those words, they were all shocked, as none was expecting her to show up, except for Alpha Darwin who had strong beliefs in her powers.

"Since you are here, we will have to begin with the second phase of the test.

But I must ask you... Are you prepared for this considering what happened yesterday?" The supreme chief priest said and asked, with a hint of concern laced in his voice.

Kimberly let out a faint smile, before answering.

"How I feel now isn’t important, the test is more important than anything and anyone at the moment... I am ready." Kimberly said, with determination burning in her eyes.

The whole room fell into silence, as alpha Derrick and alpha Theo gazes never left each other.

*You both will fail today, due to your arrogance.* Derrick thought to himself, as his eyes were still locked on Theo’s.

*I’m very sure Derrick has something planned, but let’s see if it will conquer the destiny Kimberly holds.* Theo thought, as he returned his attention to Kimberly, who was receiving instructions from the supreme chief priest.

"The next door you see holds an entrance to the waters of the goddess.

You will have to dance the dance of the spirits with them...

Let’s see if you survive the dance." The supreme chief priest said, as he stretched out his hands toward the direction of the door.

Kimberly turned to look at Theo one last time before she moved, and Theo gave her a gentle smile and an assuring look on his face before she made her way to the door.

*Katherina, it’s time to make sure she doesn’t come out alive.* Mona thought, as she had an unreadable facial expression while watching Kimberly walk into the door.

Immediately Kimberly walked into the room and closed the door, she immediately noticed the ground turning against her, and it was impossible for her to stand on her feet.

She fell to the ground. Suddenly, she saw some images standing before her like lifeless bodies with their faces covered in black robes.

Immediately, Kimberly tried to look up and saw their eyes bringing forth fire.

As they all joined their hands together, she could feel life draining out of her.

Those images-like forces started speaking in an ancient language, and they called out powerful incantations that were suppressing Kimberly’s powers.

*I can’t die here... This cannot be the end of me.* Kimberly thought to herself, struggling with her breathing.

She was almost falling into unconsciousness when she suddenly saw Katherina standing over her with a triumphant smile on her face.

"This is your end... You won’t see the land of the living anymore.

I speak in the language of the spirits, and I declare life to leave you, O’ Kimberly." Katherina declared.

Once Katherina uttered those words out loud and she started chanting powerful spells, before Kimberly knew it, she fell into unconsciousness.

Meanwhile, outside where everyone was waiting, it had been over three hours going to four hours when Derrick stood up to speak.

"Are we going to keep waiting here forever? Is the result not obvious?" With a disdainful look on his face, Derrick said angrily.

Before the supreme chief priest could speak, Theo also stood up from where he was seated and said,

"It seems you derive joy in the downfall of others, especially when they have what you can never have...

Keep your nerves calm, as I believe Kimberly will walk out of here alive." Theo said with confidence, but deep down in his mind, he was nervous and scared.

"We all want to believe that Kimberly is going to conquer and come out here, but we can’t wait all day.

No one can walk into that door and come out alive, except for someone like her." The supreme chief priest explained.

Suddenly, the sorcerers that came with Zack walked in and rushed toward Theo to inform him about something very important.

"We can’t feel the light of Kimberly anymore. It seems she’s... She’s not going to make it." The leader of the sorcerers said in a hesitant manner into Theo’s ear in the form of a whisper.

Immediately upon hearing that information, Theo couldn’t calm himself.

He walked towards the door where Kimberly had entered, and as he was going, alpha Darwin and the supreme chief priest yelled out at him.

"Do not step in! You won’t come back alive!" Their words vibrated through the whole room, but Theo was never going to listen.

Theo opened the door and walked into the room before shutting the door behind him.

Immediately, there was a mischievous triumphant smile on the face of alpha Derrick.

*Killing two birds with one stone, they say, is the sweetest and most effective...

No one will ever challenge my authority again.* Derrick thought to himself with a satisfactory smile on his face.

Mona, who was sitting beside Derrick, leaned closer and whispered,

"Are you sure he won’t be able to bring her out? Theo is not someone to underestimate."

Derrick smirked. "It doesn’t matter how strong he is. That room is not an ordinary one, and with Katherina’s spell in place, both of them are as good as gone."

Mona folded her arms, watching the door Theo had just stepped into, her mind racing with thoughts.

She wanted to believe Derrick, but something in her gut told her not to celebrate just yet.

On the other side of the room, Alpha Darwin clenched his fists.

"This is wrong. We should not be allowing this to happen.

Kimberly is fighting a battle none of us could even dream of, and instead of standing by her, we’re sitting here, waiting for her to fail?

What kind of leaders are we?"

The supreme chief priest turned to him. "This is not about what we want, alpha Darwin.

It is about what has been foretold. If she truly is the Moon Goddess reborn, she will survive."

"And if she doesn’t?" Darwin challenged.

The chief priest sighed. "Then she was never meant to be."

The tension in the room grew as the minutes passed, each second feeling like an eternity.

Derrick’s smirk never left his face, but Mona could see the slight impatience in his tapping fingers.

He wanted confirmation. He wanted victory. And he wanted it now.

The room remained silent, everyone waiting, breaths held, as time ticked on. Yet, deep in the minds of those who truly cared for Kimberly, fear gripped them.

Then, just as Derrick was about to speak again, a loud noise erupted from behind the closed door.

Gasps filled the air. Everyone turned, eyes wide, hearts racing.

Was it the end, or was it the beginning of something much greater?

Derrick swallowed hard, his smirk faltering for the first time. The room held its breath, waiting for what would happen next...
