Chapter 55: A Daunting Task
================================

Inside the temple, Janus walked an entire hall decorated by statues of dark blue stone giants.

The snowy mountains had long soaked the place in a chilling ambience and the unmoving figures added more to this never ceasing sense of cold.

Twenty statues lined on each side walls like guardians 20m high; they all had the same sets of weapons and armors and faced each other as if they were on guard. Although they seemed to be of uniform height and physique, a careful look will reveal the fact that each and every one of the statues had different faces showing different personalities.

At the end of the long hallway stands a large 30m high, 20m wide metal door. Mysterious runes and symbols were engraved on the two doors giving more emphasis to the sturdiness of the structure.

On the sides of the door were two differently armored 20m high statues holding halberds that radiated an incredible sharpness despite seeming to have been carved out of rocks.

"I wish you would forgive me for what I'm about to do, Siva..."

As if a wish, Janus pushed the door open. The symbols momentarily lit up as if to reject the opening of this eternally closed domain but as soon as they lit up, the lights also instantly died.

Janus' weak-looking physique was contrary to the strength he was using to open the two blue rock doors; CALK! CLAK! CLAK...! The loud clanging sounds of the hinges that haven't been moved for many years echoed to the ears of the ones waiting outside the temple.

With a final soft push, a loud bang resounded and shook the temple that the ground rumbled as snow fell from roof of the temple. The tremor alarmed those waiting outside butt they didn't dare to come on Janus aide.

WHHOF~~~WHOOF... WHOOF!! Following that loud bang, flames began to burn on the sleeping torches. Warming golden interior of the temple, the atmosphere insulated the cold drizzling breeze of the mountainside hall. Majestic golden flames lit the torches, the chandelier candles and the center altar reflecting the light of the fires, a lone golden bowl on top of the altar could be seen burning what seemed to be a fire spirit.

Behind the altar, a conspicuous knight statue with a sword stabbing the white jaded floor stood atop an erected pedestal. The altar and this knight, when compared to the ones outside this temple, were millions of miles away in terms of majesty and ultimately... in presence.

Seeing this statue, a gentle expression of akin to a parent drew on the old man's face.

"Alexander." He called softly.
