Chapter 3723 To The First Floor
Agnirei watched Zenova Artoria with a scrutinizing gaze.
It was hard to say if Zenova Artoria's words were true but if it was true, then this treasure shopping session would really be a race against time.
"If what you say is true, then you choose a treasure. I will contend." Fiind updated novels at novelhall.com
Agnirei spoke in a commanding tone, causing Zenova Artoria's lips to curl.
"I thought you would say that. In that case, I can only wait until another person makes a move to acquire some treasure or let Evelynn take the good treasures. I don't mind— seeing that she is someone I want to defeat to send someone a message but also increase the benefits for that someone due to the mutual understanding between us."
She grabbed her waist and raised her other hand, looking at her fingertips like she was calculating.
"Letting her win now to take more later doesn't seem like a bad idea either."
"You..."
Agnirei glared at her Zenova Artoria, becoming more suspicious that she truly was a Divergent. Otherwise, she saw no merit in being in a mutually beneficial relationship with another Divergent.
"Fine..." However, she clenched her teeth, knowing that she couldn't let others take the treasures.
She turned around, moving to the treasure she wanted the most here, and tried to grab it. Like before, two circles appeared, one covering her and the other appearing beside them. Zenova Artoria didn't wait for time to pass and instantly stepped into the circle without knowing what awaited on the other side, making Rea Tyriel's eyes tremble.
'She really got guts...'
Rea Tyriel turned to look at her group and quickly informed what went on inside the circle. She told them the clash of their soulseas powered by a strange formation manifested a space, giving birth to a soulscape where they both existed and didn't exist, allowing them to battle with their soul bodies where the winner ascends to the upper floor and the loser is punished in two ways depending on the outcome of the battle.
Isabella and the others were shocked to hear that Rea Tyriel lost five percent of her soul essence upon losing. Isabella and Shirley's expressions sank before they apologized to Rea Tyriel.
It could be said that they were a bit hasty to throw the blame on her.
Rea Tyriel nodded lightly, thinking it was no wonder that Isabella and Shirley thought that they had done something to Evelynn. In their perspective, it would be like she made Evelynn wisp out of existence.
Nonetheless, she quickly reminded.
"Quick, let us come to a consensus on whom to send up first. If we can't, then we can only leave it to our prowess to make things happen. Otherwise, we'll lose the treasures to the others."
"Alright." The others agreed, swiftly working on formulating a plan where everyone could benefit or at least try to benefit as much as everyone else.
========
Evelynn blinked at the new sight she was seeing through her eyes. It was practically the same layout but the number of treasures here was clearly lesser than the the ground floor below because the treasures were more spread out and occupied more space.
She began to walk and noticed that the quality of the treasures was higher than the ones on the ground floor.
"Peak-Level Immortal Emperor Grade Treasures..."
Evelynn heaved a heavy sigh as she walked past each one of them. She almost covered half the distance and managed to go over a hundred and twenty treasures, each one capable of pulling her heartstrings and have her fight tooth and nail for it.
However, she just wasn't convinced enough to take them because she only had six chances to acquire and two more chances to contend, regardless of whether she won or not. She wanted to use those chances on the second floor.
Evelynn looked up, wanting to get there, but couldn't see a way other than challenging someone again.
However, no one came yet.
She continued to walk while browsing the treasures, her eyes widening and her heart pounding occasionally at the descriptions. If she brought these back home, she was confident that even their head maid, Esvele, would become a supreme genius comparable to Kingly Monarchs.
But at the second minute, a flash of light spread across from the other side, catching her attention.
She went towards it and shortly came across a crimson-purple-robed woman with a haughty gaze.
"I expected you to appear first."
Evelynn walked towards her and stood only a few meters away, appearing confident and relaxed as though meeting an old friend.
