Chapter 345 - Holy Brirus Empire(Part-4)

Hiro looked towards the palace with wide eyes as he spoke angrily, "Commander how did the enemy breach the defense."

The Commander himself looked incensed at that as he replied back, "My liege we are unsure how but we someone amongst the Royal Guards must have betrayed us."

Hiro gained a constipated look on his face as Ryuu who was nearby was about to speak only to stop as they saw a disheveled looking Dewy swimming as fast as he could from the palace as if death was at his heals, well it literally was as the Emperor was hot on his heels.

The fighting was literally stopped for a few seconds as someone shouted, "Kill that Emperor.", which was swiftly countered by, "Protect the Emperor."

Dewy soon found himself surrounded when all of a sudden his panicked look changed to a smug look on his face as he spoke, "It did not have to end like this brother you should have surrendered like a wise person but alas you were always the fool now."

Emperor Aquor narrowed his eyes as he spoke, "Shut up you cur, it makes me feel revulsion that we share the same blood, what you have done today no matter how much you plead I will have no mercy.

Dewy laughed at that as Ryuu shook his head as he whispered, "Idiot."

Zywia's eyebrows scrunched as she spoke, "'Idiot'? Who are you calling that?"

Ryuu looked at her as he spoke to her in their language, "The Emperor who else."

Zywia was taken aback at that as she spoke in a scandalized manner, "What????"

Ryuu looked at her as he spoke, "What else would I call him, never let a cornered enemy speak too much, whenever one does it means he or she is planning something and is simply buying time for the trap to activate."

Zywia turned her head towards the Emperor as she spoke, "How would you know that is what happening here?"

Ryuu smiled at her question as he spoke, "I know it because I have seen it done many times as well as a tactics that I have used before."

Zywia looked at the scene with wide eye before she spoke with disbelief as he watched the scene in front of her, "You are right the emperor is a fool."

Dewy had taken out a crystal and had crushed it before anyone could react as he did so a giant portal opened behind him as others watched with wide eye as multiple octopus like creature began stepping out of it.

Dewy laughed as others including the Emperor stepped back as he gloated towards them, "Hahaha you fools bow before me l…..", whatever he was about to say was stopped as a couple of tentacles grasped him as they tore him apart as a guttural noise came from the octopus.

Ryuu's cheeks bulged as he tried to stop himself from laughing to others it might seemed as a guttural noise but he was able to hear it clearly, "Food should stop whining and wait to be digested", was what he heard before Dewy died.

Ryuu let out a sigh as his eyes hardened as he spoke, "Sister Zywia get ready the real fun is about to begin."

The group of participants of the trial looked at the fight going on in front of them some of them discussing strategies and what not only to stop upon arrival of the gigantic octopus look alike.

"Damn that octopus makes me hungry.", one of them remarked at that, only to be rebuked by another, "You fool what part of that looks like an Octopus it is some kind of tentacle monster nothing more who knows what will happen if you eat it."

As their bickering was about to begin they were stopped by the timely arrival of Ryuu who spoke with a smile, "Greetings fellow Daoist how have you all been?"

The cultivators looked at him with guarded expression as one of them spoke, "We have been doing well fellow Daoist may I inquire of your name?"

"Ah please forgive my rudeness, my name is Ryuu.", was his reply as another spoke, "So how may we help you fellow Daoist Ryuu."

Ryuu looked at them as he spoke, "I would be grateful if you all would kindly lend us your strength."

They looked at each other before a burly looking man spoke, "Daoist Ryuu I do not seem to be rude but why should we help them, we have nothing to gain from it, except a few more wounds."

Ryuu looked at him as he answered him with a smile, "Fellow Daoist if I may inquire your name?"

The person in question looked curiously at Ryuu before he spoke, "Well you may call me Daoist Lesharo."

Ryuu nodded at that as he continued, "Well then Daoist Lesharo do you have any clue to where the gate to the next level is."

Lesharo smiled as he spoke, "Well that I do not know but i believe we will find out eventually."

Ryuu nodded at that as he looked at the battle going on as he spoke, "Well so true but do you even know what kind of place we are in."

Lesharo looked taken aback at the question as he spoke, "Well we are in an ocean region and so far no land is at sight."

Ryuu looked at him as he spoke with a sigh, "There is no land in this place except at the edge of the world which is enough for only a couple of people to stand."

At that everyone was taken aback as one of the spoke, "You are kidding right? 'Edge of the world.' What is this nonsense?"

Ryuu shook his head as he spoke with a ad sigh, "No I am not kidding as such I believe searching for the Gate will be even more difficult since we are trapped inside a cage, from which we are not able to leave, if we go high enough we will be stopped by a barrier and beyond the edge is an animal whose eyes is bigger than a moon, making it difficult to search. I swear on my honor that I am telling the truth and if you do not believe me feel free to check."

He stopped as he let his speech sink into other's mind before one of them spoke, "So what do propose fellow Daoist?"

Ryuu gave them a benevolent smile as he spoke, "Why not join me in this battle get some brownie points with the Emperor I have already worked out the deal where he would lend me assistance to find the gate and with people who know this place like the back of their hand it will be faster, much much faster."

They looked at each other as a few of them whispered amongst themselves before Lesharo spoke again, "Well we will help you as we all think it is best to know the exit before we search for exotic items but before we begin I want to know what is this 'brownie points'?"

Ryuu gave him a smile as he spoke, "Well why don't you follow me and let me show you what brownie points are and I think you might like them."

Zywia was frustrated as she dodged another tentacle as she snarled at that while grumbling, "Where that idiot did run off to now.", her answer came as multiple war cry came to her as well as other people's ears as multiple new combatants entered the fray lead by none other than Ryuu.
