Lazarus slowly opened his eyes. He looked at the surroundings, he saw the river and Linwood who were sound asleep near a tree.
"I haven't felt this fresh feeling." Lazarus muttered as he stretched his muscles, then walked towards Linwood.
"Linwood, wake up!" Lazarus woke Linwood.
Slowly Linwood opened his eyes, he dreamed of making love to the Azure Phoenix Blue River and the Golden Phoenix Chrysos. But he did not know when he was sound asleep, he only remembered being watching the surrounding area when Lazarus was bathing.
"It hurts!!" Linwood felt his head ache while trying to recall something that happened.
"Master, why am I fast asleep here?"
"Give your head!" Lazarus told Linwood to bring his head closer, he saw a large lump on Linwood's head.
"Sakit!!" Linwood shouted.
"Did you fall from a tree?" Lazarus asked.
"I didn't fall from a tree and I don't remember when I fell asleep." Linwood replied.
"Squeaky... I also don't remember why I fell asleep by the river!" Lazarus.
"Are there any Illusory Spirit Element Emperors living in this river?" Linwood asked with a trembling body.
Lazarus' body froze. "Let's go back! People must be looking for us!" Lazarus climbed up Linwood's back, then glanced towards the calm river.
"Master, is there a high rank Beast living on the bottom of that river?" The Phoenix Forest Linwood asked.
"I felt someone watching us in the river." Lazarus answered.
"Ice Spear!!"
Lazarus created a spear made of ice, then threw it towards the river. But nothing moved from the river.
"Maybe it's just my feeling." Lazarus muttered, then left with Linwood back to where their group was.
After Lazarus had gone there were small bubbles coming out of the river. A moment later 2 beautiful women came out from the river in wet clothes and a very messy look. They are Reina and Akira.
"Urs, having such a great Skill Tracker, the spear almost hit my head!" Reina exclaims.
"Reina, the two of us are already using the Camouflage Skill, hiding the aura of presence, stopping our heartbeat and breathing. But why would Urs know where we're hiding?" Akira asked.
"I didn't know it! Urs had a very sharp instinct, as if he was a blind man who could see the surrounding region with just 4 other senses." Reina answered.
Reina and Akira tried to stand up, but they felt pain near their thighs.
"It hurts!" Akira yelling.
"Hold on in a minute, we'll get used to it. But behind this pain, I see you enjoyed the night so much." Reina smiled.
"Reina, are you not reflecting? You enjoy it more than me. Waitaminute! Isn't your body poisonous? Why isn't Urs affected by your poison?" Akira asked.
"I'm also very confused, my poison has no effect on Urs! Even someone who has an Immune Rank S Poison Skill will also be affected because the poison in my body is Rank S+" Reina touched her chin.
"Is it possible that Lazarus has an Immune Rank S+ Poison Skill?" Akira asked.
"That's a possible reason and Akira, have you hit Lazarus and Linwood hard on the head?"
"I hit them on the head really hard. I thought Lazarus and Linwood, would be killed for my punch, but they are fine!" Akira felt regret hitting Linwood and Lazarus on the head hard.
"No, they're both very strong. They would not die from such a weak attack! They are also in the Aprosidiac effect, I think they will forget the events of the night." Reina remembered about that very beautiful night, she had never felt such pleasure.
Akira nodded. "Reina, we should be parting ways here soon."
"I understand... Lazarus would have been very angry, if he had known what we had done and we could not have met Lazarus again. Akira now we are partners in this matter and we have to keep an eye on the man. Although we can't stand next to him, but we can help him from afar." Reina said, no other man can touch Reina's poison body in this world, perhaps only Lazarus is a man who is immune to its poison.
...****************...
Akira returns to where Lazarus' group is camping, and sees Lazarus cooking a meal with Alastair.
"Where have you been?" Lazarus asked.
"Urs, I've been looking for you all night!" Akira answered.
"Alright, I'm sorry for making you all worried and as an apology I'll cook you good food." Lazarus says.
"Earth Table's! Earth Chair!" Solon used his earth element Skill and made one large table and 16 seats for everyone.
Lazarus finished cooking, he cooked the fried meat with soy sauce and spicy sauce. Also a wide variety of vegetables as a complement.
"Urs, what's the name of this food?" Hector asked.
"I just fry a few slices of chopped Golden Roc Beast meat with seasoning as well as soy sauce and chili. You can eat a lot of food and I've cooked a big portion for the Beasts." Lazarus said as he gave a large bucket of meat to Linwood, Emerald, Feira, Rainbow, Little Gold and Ren.
Lazarus sat beside Alastair and Icarus, then took out the 50 bottles of Wine Snow Flower he had brought from the Regulus region.
"Wine!!" Everyone is screaming.
Lazarus smiled, then told everyone to eat.
"Neck!!" Rainbow exclaimed as he ate the meat of Lazarus.
"Eat! Ren, do you not like that meat? You just eat the vegetables."
"Master, I am a Beast Herbivore." Ren answered.
"Ren, I'm sorry for forgetting!" Lazarus took out some Herbs and gave them to Ren.
"Master, I love you so much!" Ren ate the fruit voraciously.
...****************...
"Haha. I came back to life after drinking Wine!" Hali said as she drank a bottle of Wine.
"Brother, I'm also very happy about this Wine! Our lives in the Cerulean Forest are very difficult! We can only eat raw Beast meat!" Jaan in the form of a four-eyed black Werewolf with a pair of horns and black-colored wings replied.
Lazarus watched all the people who ate his cooking so voraciously as if they had not eaten for a few days.
"Return!" Hector took everyone toast.
Lazarus and the others toasted, they did not think about what race and where they came from. They just think that they can all be close friends. Everyone finally finished eating and drinking. They did not think of being able to eat good cuisine and drink Wine in the Cerulean Forest.
"Jaan, did you find any surviving members of the Dark Beastman Empire?" Lazarus asked.
"Urs, I think only Hali and I are alive. Although there are still alive, but they are definitely surviving in this harsh Cerulean Forest." Jaan answered.
Lazarus stared at the War Beast Blue Beetle that was perched on a tree branch. He learned that this War Beast Blue Beetle was controlled by someone to spy on them.
Lazarus threw 3 ice needles towards the Beast beetle, then Ren immediately brought the Beast beetle to Lazarus.
"Insect Tamer, are you going to continue spying and tailing us? If you don't show yourself soon, we'll consider you enemies." Lazarus said, then released the beetle with the blue shell.
Insect Tamer is different from Beast Tamer, they train a herd of insect Beasts and can use them to fight and lurk. Job Insect Tamer was an extremely rare Job Rank S, they could control a herd of low rank insect-type Beasts.
A moment later, a blonde-haired Demon with yellow horns and a muscular white Dark Beastman Lion with hair in braids approached the group of Lazarus.
"Prince Heracles, Butter!!" Hali and Jaan shouted.
"Sit down! You must eat and recuperate, after which you must tell me what happened." Lazarus says.
Solon created two additional seats for Heracles and Butter. He then cooked them some of the same fried meat, coincidentally Golden Roc meat and seasoning were still left very much.
Heracles and Butter ate a large plate of fried meat in Lazarus ketchup sauce voraciously. It was as if they had not eaten for days.
Heracles licked the leftovers on his lips, then looked towards Emerald and Feira who were eating a large bird Beast's thigh roasted with seasoning.
Lazarus knew Heracles was not yet full, then cooked some Golden Roc for Heracles.
"Thank you!" Heracles returned to eating.
Finally Heracles had already finished 10 large dishes of fried meat sauce Lazarus.
"I'm full!" Heracles said as he showed his distended stomach.
"Thank you, sir for giving me and the master food." Butter thanked Lazarus again.
Lazarus took out an Epic Healing and Mana Potion Rank, then gave it to Heracles and Butter. He learns Heracles and Butter were seriously injured in a fight with someone.
"What happened to you?" Lazarus asked.
"His name is Urs, the leader of this group." Hali says.
"I understand! You are the ones who defeated those Golden Roc Beasts and have you met any other group in the Cerulean Forest?" Lazarus asked, he was curious about the group of the Zephyra Empire.
"Master Urs, I met with the Azure Dragon Association group, the Silver Phoenix Imperial Army, the Darkness Dragon Imperial Army, the Nebula Kingdom Army, the Eternal Frost Imperial Army, the, The Moonlight Frost Empire's army and other powerful groups." Butter answered.
Lazarus touched his chin. He thought about the purpose of all those groups going to the Cerulean Forest, whether they were just looking for the Nature Treasure Wood element and the Herbal Eternal Blue Lily or any other reason.
"Have you guys seen Deandra?" Lazarus asked.
"Princess Deandra lost while fighting the Silver Dragon King Soldrake and fled to the middle region of the forest, whereas the 3 people of the Black Dessert Empire Mythical realm who came with us were killed along with all of his troops." Heracles answered.
"We also saw the 5 great armies of the human race along with the powerful people who came to the Cerulean Forest." Butter says.
"Hector, it seems that the problem in the Cerulean Forest is not simple." Lazarus glanced at Hector.
"I agree! Although with one additional Mythical realm person, we cannot remain safe. There are still many strong people who go to the depths of the Cerulean Forest." Hector answered.
"Icarus what do you think?" Lazarus asked.
"Uncle, we have to set up a plan. In the Cerulean Forest anything could happen, even for a Mythical realm or a Beast King." Icarus answered.
"Dad, I thought the Cerulean Forest would become a battlefield. We'll be dragged into it." Alastair gritted his teeth.
"Well, Solon, Heracles, Akira, do you want to part with my group or work together?" Lazarus asked.
"Urs, I'll stay with your group!" Solon answered.
"Haha. I think the best option is to be with you." Heracles laughed.
Akira nodded. "Urs, me and Yashamaru will stay with your group."
"Alright, now show all your status and swear souls not to betray each other." Lazarus says.
"What!" Butter got up from his chair.
Hear the whisper of the world show me all my status and skills.
"Listen to the whispers of the world show all my status and skills." Butter shows all the status, jobs and skills.
Everyone glanced at the Lazarus status window, they saw something abnormal from the Lazarus status window especially from the Beast's total contract.
SS 33/72 Job Beast Master Rank
"Urs, you have SS Rank Beast Job! Wait for you to sign a Red Dragon in your first contract slot!" Solon yelling.
"Am I dreaming! You contracted 35 high rank Beasts! 4 Of them are Beast Dragons! Phoenix and Flood Dragon!" Heracles shouted.
"I didn't realize that my Job Beast Master had risen to SS Rank. I can now make a contract with 36 high rank Beasts again." Lazarus answered.
"What aaa!!" Everyone is screaming.
"Only Demon Emperor Daryan in the Southern Continent has a Job Beast Master Rank SS and can contract many high rank Beasts!" Butter screaming.
"Not only that, you have many Passive Skills and master many Active Skills! Isn't that hard to believe without seeing it for yourself?" Solon asked.
"Blade Art Skill, Chain Art Skill, Spear Art Skill, Great Sword Art Skill, Arrow Art Skill... You are an expert in using All Weapons!! Though you don't have the Battle Job of the Blessed Four Element Rank SS!!" Akira shouted looking at Lazarus abnormal status.
"Have it done, now we're going to split the task." Lazarus and everyone saw each other's Skills. It could be said that all members of the Lazarus group were monsters, Butler who was only a Grand Master realm had an intelligence of 7/10, but he had a Unique Rank S+ Skill that could control hundreds of insects.
"I understand! Butter, Solon, Rainbow, Ren and Magnolia are the 5 most important people in this group. They have very useful Skill Support and healing." Lazarus drew a map to divide the tasks of the 21 men and the Beast.
*The most important support and healing team.
Magnolias.
Solons.
The Winged Nine - Colored Poison Snake Rainbow.
Butter.
Golden Rhinoceros Beetle Silver Pattern.
"Jaan, Heracles, Hector, Emerald and Bedros fit as Tanks and fight in the front row." Lazarus said, then wrote the name.
*Tank, Front row.
Jaans.
Heracles.
Hectors.
The Emerald Lion, Emerald.
Bedros.
"Wait on! Didn't Emerald just reach the Epic Beast realm?" Jaan asked.
"Emerald, very strong and has a high endurance. He could be Bedros' mount." Lazarus answered.
Everyone nodded.
"Me, Akira, Icarus, Alastair, and Ludger will be in the middle of the line and help the front to attack." Lazarus says.
Midline.
Akira.
Icarus.
Alastair.
Ludgers.
Lazarus.
"The end is a very dangerous position. Jino, Linwood, Feira, Little Gold, Ronin and Hali are you ready to die? When you're not ready I'll take your place?"
"Speaking and murder?" Jino asked.
Lazarus nodded. "You guys are experts in Assassin Skills and Jino you are a Vampire Race. The Vampire race is very good at seeing in the dark. Hali has SS Camouflage Rank Skill, instinct and agility, while Yashamaru is an expert in Ninja Skill to kill. Feira had the element of darkness and was born an Assasins, while Linwood and Little Gold could fly quickly." Lazarus explained.
"Master, I agree!"
"Urs, I agree!"
Scout and murder teams.
Halis.
Jinos.
The Phoenix Forest, Linwood.
Yashamaru aria.
The Purple Eyed Darkness Horned Lion, Feira.
Ancient Golden Crow, Little Gold.
"21 People and the Beast! Remember your duty and always be vigilant, even if our faults will die!"
"We understand!"
