Chapter 19: Showcasing one's achivement

Name:Emperor's Reckoning Author:
*Zing

Lyon arrived inside the labyrinth first, however he saw no Jugen in sight. Apparently he was on the other floor of this dungeon.

The floor Lyon was on had a narrow hall leading one way. It was only three adult men width with torches on each side all the way to the end of the hall.

At the end of the hall was a double doors. It had two dragons facing each other and a sphere in the middle top engraved on it.

*tap

*tap

Lyon walked closer to the said door but stand still right in front of it.

(Aih I have a bad feeling about this, I shouldn't open the door). Thought Lyon. Then he just stood there for the time being contemplating the decision.

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

The floor Jugen on was like another world. He was on top of a hill overlooking the jungle and rivers.

*Zing

"Big brother -er -er -er -er." The voice of Jugen echoes.

*ROARRR

A deafening sound came from the sky Jugen stood.

"Ah my life and shitty luck, It's the guardian! Fcking hell." Then with a quick motion he jumped down from the hill into the thick forest below.

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

Inside the arena, Crux was handling the floating monitor. There were yellow dots in their respective floor.

The leaders from the three kingdoms put their gaze on the floating monitor with different thoughts.

There were twelve dots on the screen.

One dot in 26th floor.

Two dots in 50th floor.

One dot in 24th floor.

One dot in 69th floor.

Three dots in 78th floor.

One dot in 90th floor.

One dot in 12th floor.

And two dots in 37th floor.

"That's the report Miss." said Fei.

"Are you sure that is the report? We had two candidates, the both kingdoms candidates in total have eleven, so the total should be thirteen right?" asked Sylviana.

"That's correct Miss, but this report was made by Grandmaster Crux himself and there were no errors. He gave us two possibilities of this happening. One would be the candidate had died inside the labyrinth, Second would be he or she is on the floor where the monitor can't detect."

"Hmm I see, now I wonder which candidates got inside the 90th floor. I don't know if he or she is lucky or unlucky. Oh no I think I forgot to tell Lyon that every ten floors will be a different world rather than just a maze full of monsters, and also the guardian reside there. Aih I made a blunder. " said Sylviana shaking her head.

"Don't worry about it little sister I'm sure he can handle it." a beautiful voice entered both ears of the maiden.

*tap

*tap

*tap

The beautiful voice was actually came from Karina.

"Ah Big sister!" said Sylviana.

"S-senior!" said Fei.

Both of them had a lot of respect for this legendary figure.

"What makes you so sure about him big sister?" said Sylviana with a bit of jealousy tone.

"Oh?" Karina seemed to realize the jealousy tone came from Sylviana. "What's this little sister? Are you jealous?" teased Karina.

"Ah wh-wh-who is jealous, m-m-me?! I don't care if that guy is dead! Hmph!" smugged Sylviana while crossing her arm and turned her vision back to the monitor.

Both Fei and Karina only smiled seeing their queen's reaction.

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

Back on Lyon's floor.

"You know what? F*ck it let's open this thing." said Lyon.

*push

*Push

*PUSH!

But the door won't budge at all.

"Hmph! so you won't open huh. Try this.."

The heaven and world energy were absorbed at the three times speed.

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

*gasp

*gasp

A shadowy figure was gasping beside a tree.

"Hah hah, damn it!" said Jugen. "The mark on the wyvern's body spelled '90' motherf*cker. How am I suppose to kill this beast! I better find the exit and fast!"

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

Inside the arena.

*zing

Bright magic imbued words appeared on top of the gate.

'The tenth floor's guardian had been slain. One thousand points are rewarded to the avenger Xianxia.'

*Woahh

The crowd were surprised at the announcement. Not even ten minutes were in and a guardian had been slain.

"That's Xianxia for you! She must be the one from the 12th floor!" said one of the crowd

"She is wise indeed, taking the back route to kill the previous floor guardian." nodded an expert.

*Xia!

*Xia!*Xia!*Xia!

*Xia!*Xia!*Xia!*Xia!

The Meistas's supporter got more excited.

Tunri's expression was calm and collected despite the achievement his candidate shown. Truly a fearsome king.

Folan had grim face seeing that their candidates still had not killed the guardian yet. Sylviana on the other hand was calm and had the 'don't give a f*ck' expression on her face so as the other two woman.

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

The announcement was also shown to the candidates inside the labyrinth.

On the 50th floor was a world of lava bursting all over the place.

"Tch... that woman is lucky indeed." said Jiangnu. "Don't falter, once we kill this mammoth our other comrades will regain their confidence!" continued Jiangnu to his other member.

"Y-yes!" said the other member.

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

On the 10th floor was a world with plain grass all over the horizon. The plant-like monster was full of holes. stood beside her was a beautiful lady, Xianxia.

(This will irritate Jiangnu and deter his other member's confident and boost my team's) thought Xianxia. "Hah ... I still wonder should I aid Jiangnu instead ..."

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

Inside the 90th floor.

The black figure run with the wind inside the complicated jungle, but the huge dragon was hovering in the sky showing dominance.

Upon closer look, the wyvern had one and a half horn on it's head. It had green pupils and a scar on it. The night scales on it's body and tail was so dirty and not perfect, this showed it's experience in battle.

*Thump

*Thump

*Thump

(I really don't give a single F*ck who killed the what guardian. Somebody SAVE ME!! BIG BRO!) screamed Jugen internally.

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

Four days later.

*Zing

'The 20th floor's guardian had been slain. Five thousand points are rewarded to the avenger Xianxia.'

"Again! is her again!" said the crowd.

*Zing

'The 50th floors guardian had been slain. Twenty thousand points are rewarded to Jiangnu.'

"Yeah JIANGNU!!" the Arcana supporters were excited.

"Ah so he is the one on the 50th floor." said the crowd.

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

On Lyon's floor.

"Hehehe, it's ready ..." smiled Lyon.
