Emperor's Reckoning

Everybody was dumbstruck, they couldn't believe what she just said. Except for the dove, which currently struggling to get up.

*Slurk

With one quick motion Lyon was already topless and said : "Let's do it!".

"En!" nodded the woman.

*pak

*pak

The fox woman hit their head until they were red swollen. "Let's focus at the serious matter for once!" reprimanded the fox woman.

"Sorry!" said both Lyon and the woman.

Then the fox woman explained the situation to the guardians.

*puff

Once again the fox woman exhale the smoke :"Well little brother, I summoned every guardian here."

"Is it true that you can undo the curse?" said the little girl while tugging his hand.

"If you can really undo this curse, I will owe you a favor, you are welcomed at my kingdom anytime and I shall personally treat you." said the Wolf young man.

"Alright guardians, give him some space." said the overseer.

"Okay guardians, I have the spell to lift the curse brand on your body, but I also need your aid since I'm just a third level elemental realm." Then he continued : "The spell that we will use is called 'Holy Panacea', It's the most powerful lifting spell I know in high divine realm."

The reason Lyon didn't want to do a higher realm magic spell was because of the time to execute it would be too long, even for the ten guardians including the overseer.

"So all we need to do is combined our ability to absorb the energies and put it into one individual, which is of course, me, to execute the spell." said Lyon.

"Alright sure, lets do it."

Then all the guardians including the overseer focused on gathering the energies.

------------------------------

Inside the arena.

The crowd became restless as there were no more guardians getting killed. But the yellow dots always moving deeper and deeper inside the labyrinth, with the exception of the one on the 0th floor.

"Hmm, there has been no activities lately." said Sylviana.

"Well, the competition will end in three more days, so let's just wait and hope."

said Fei.

"Do we still have the peanut butter sandwich?" asked Karina.

"Oh we have one more left, senior." said Fei.

-------------------------------

On the 90th floor.

"Maybe there is a treasure vault on the 100th floor? considering what happened to the 90th floor, the guardian on the 100th floor might also be gone."

then Jugen made up his mind and run towards the next floor.

------------------------------

On the 70th floor.

"Still nothing ... but with this point I might have ended up winning this competition." said Jiangnu.

Then he continued: "Either way, let's make it to one hundred, our comrade probably have the same idea."

"Yes." said his teammates. 𝐟𝚛e𝐞𝙬𝗲𝒃𝓷𝒐𝘃e𝒍.c𝑜m

------------------------------

On the 50th floor.

"So this is the floor Jiangnu was at, it's still a maze though. Then my theory was right, the guardians somehow gone or exit the labyrinth. I have a feeling something big is going to happen." said Xianxia. 𝘧𝓇𝗲𝑒we𝙗noѵ𝑒l.𝐜o𝘮

"My captain might be aiming for the one hundredth floor." said one of Jiangnu teammate that Xianxia met on forty sixth floor.

"Hmm that might be true, let's go there then." said Xianxia.

------------------------------

The sky was ever changing, only one more day before the end of the competition.

"Hahaha by the calculation, my kingdom should win this competition." said Folan proudly.

"Then let me be the first to congratulate you." said Tunri on the other side of the balcony.

Sylviana got annoyed by these two old fogey then said: "The competition has not ended yet, but King Folan and Tunri already sure about the outcome."

"Hahaha, this is called confidence, Queen Sylviana." replied Folan. "Sure in a war one must not be absolutely sure of the outcome before battle, but sadly this is only a competition."

"By the way Queen Sylviana, your reward for the winner are really extravagant." said Tunri with a hint of mockery.

"That's right, I believe in our two man team with Lyon leading the way. They will surely grab victory in this competition." said Sylviana with a hint of pride.

"Well, seeing that is only less then twenty four hours to go, I don't think they could win, no?" said Tunri.

Sylviana had no reply for that mockery. She only gritted her teeth and clench her hand.

"A genius he might be, but he is too inexperience to compete in this competition, a lot of geniuses die before they mature." said Folan flatly.

When he said that, Fei, Luna, and Karina had a murderous glint on their eyes.

"You..-" said Sylviana.

"I beg to differ with your opinion King of Meistas and King of Arcana." Karina suddenly said out of the blue.

"Ah Karina, you are still beautiful as ever, why don't you become my wife instead? I will make you my first wife you know." said Folan.

"Hahaha you must be joking with this little girl, how can I worthy of a man such as you? Beside I already had someone in my mind." said Karina.

"OH? Who is the lucky man?" asked Folan with a hint of murderous intent.

"Ah I can't tell you that, you might killed him." chuckled Karina.

"Hahaha you got that right, none shall ever have you but me." said Folan then he continued in a low voice: "Besides, you will be mine soon."

"Look! someone already entered the 100th floor!" said one of the crowd.

"That must be the one on the 90th floor."

"I wonder what will he/she find there."

"Hahaha that must be one of our candidates." said Fei.

Sylviana then asked Fei how did she came to this conclusion.

"Well we all saw that Xianxia was in the lower floors, and Jiangnu was in the fiftieth floor when he killed the guardian. By this statement, we can conclude that the chances of one of our candidates being in 90th floor should be really high."

"Hmph what if you are wrong? What if one or two of your candidates decide to join forces with our or Meistas candidates?" said Folan.

"You? oh please, of all the competition, you or Meistas always killed our candidates inside the labyrinth."

Folan and Tunri then shut their mouth. It was true, the competition before was result in complete annihilation for the Nostria.

*zing

"Congratulation to Jugen for the first one ever to reach the 100th floor treasure vault."

"OUH YEAH BABY! SUCK ON THIS, LOSER! wait what? did you just said my voice would be broadcasted outside for one minute? oh shit, older sister the voice just now was not mine, I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry-" said Jugen.

The crowd inside the arena had black lines all over their heads.

However Karina only had smiles on her face with her eyes closed, but this smile had death aura over it.

Sylviana thought (Aih, I don't know if I should be happy or not, should I brag about this?).
