As the reset counter for the floor raid hit 0, lots of floor raid requests were instantly placed to the floor administrator, with Karna also sending one.
Usually, when a floor raid opportunity opened up and multiple parties wished to participate in it, the decision of which party got to raid the floor first was left up to the tower's floor administrator, who made the decision based on his own discretion.
As over a dozen applications flooded in, the Floor Administrator of floor 21 immediately rejected the applications of those who did not have a real shot at winning against Perseus, and were only applying out of petty revenge.
This left only three serious applications on his table, with the joint application of Karna alongside the leader of the cowards army being the best of the lot.
For a while the Floor Administrator pondered as to which application to accept and which to reject, however, after thinking about it for a while, he decided to award the floor raid to the faction whose leader earnt the opportunity through combat.
"I will give the three of you an opportunity to earn the right to conduct this floor raid, with the faction having the strongest leader finally securing the privilege to raid" The floor administrator said, as he transported Karna, The busty leader of the Pandora Guild and The robust leader of the Dark Elves to a seperate dimensional space to participate in a private game.
Instead of awarding the floor raid to the strongest faction. The Floor Administrator decided to be creative with the allocation of raid privilege and decided to make the three leaders compete against each other in a private game to secure the privilege.
Transporting them to a small martial arena which was barely 20 feet by 20 feet in area, he instructed the three leaders to fight amongst themselves, with the last man standing being declared as the victor.

Karna, just like the two other leaders, was caught off-guard by this sudden fight proposal as he did not expect to be thrown into combat so suddenly, however, since the terms of victory had already been established, he realized that there was no point hesitating and jumped straight into battle.
Barely blocking it, Karna felt his arms sting from the recoil, as he realized that the opponent he was facing now was one that was highly dangerous.
Trying to close the distance between them, Karna moved in towards the Dark Elf leader, who had already nocked another arrow into his bow by now.
*Swoosh*
As Karna closed in, the Dark Elf let out yet another arrow, this one laced with a magic spell.
Instead of blocking, Karna tried his best to dodge this arrow, as he feared the magic contained within the arrow releasing upon impact.
Choosing to dodge here was a gamble, as he the distance was not enough for him to react in time to dodge properly, as his lousy attempt caused the arrow to graze past his belly, drawing blood, however, thankfully the magic contained within did not trigger, as the arrow moved past him and exploded into a cluster of vines behind him. .net
"Good one–" praised the Dark Elf, as he did not think that Karna would be so bold as to not block the shot from such close range and rather choose to dodge.
It was a gamble, however, it paid off big time for Karna as because of it he was able to close down the gap in the narrow martial arena between himself and the Dark Elf leader and convert the fight into a close-range contest where he held the upper hand.
Although the Dark Elf Leader was by no means a pushover even in close-range contest, trying his best to fend off Karna using his bow as a weapon and his natural agility to keep up with his offence, eventually, he was out-done by the guildmaster of the Elites and sent flying out of the arena bounds just like the leader of the Pandora Guild before him.
"The dark elf faction has been eliminated.... The True Elites are the victors!" Announced the floor administrator, as he transported both Karna and the leader of the Dark Elves back to floor21 and awarded the floor raid rights to the alliance of True Elites and the Cowards.
