LAZARUS REGULUS
Chaptre 306. The Fate of Friends and Opponents.

The West Region Cerulean Forest.

A well-built man with long blonde hair and blue eyes, wearing white armor with Gold Dragon carvings was surrounded by several people. Behind him were 3 female Priests who were seriously injured.

"Snake, are you tired?" A short gray-haired man and green eyes asked as he brandished his Spear Artifact.

"The Curtis paladins of the 12 Paladins of the Holy Empire are actually not as great as the rumors circulating out there." A woman with long brown hair and blue eyes, wearing a purple dress said.

Curtis spat out a mouthful of blood. "I will fight to the death with you. Who are you and why are you chasing me?"

"Well, I'll tell you before you die. We are from the Black Scorpion Orchid Organization." The man replied.

They don't realize a bee is looking and hearing it all. The Bee was a Beast that Butter used to watch and see the surroundings.

"Mr Urs, in front there are 3 people who are fighting with 20 people and 2 of them are Legendary realm." Butter says.

Lazarus and his group immediately went to the place that Butter had pointed out, they saw 3 members of the Holy Empire being cornered by 20 enemy alliance troops.

"Curtis!" Magnolia was screaming a little.

"Who is it!" The gray-haired man threw his spear towards the Lazarus group. However Ryota immediately caught the spear Artifact, then threw it back towards the enemy Alliance forces.

The Lazarus group went towards Curtis' group. They gave off a bloodthirsty aura and their respective realm aura. The arrival aura of the Lazarus group was like the aura of a herd of high rank Beasts.

The 20 enemy Alliance troops who were there were shocked to see people in full armor wearing Beast masks going towards them.

"Sir, we don't have a problem with you. We just want to kill some rats that dare to provoke our troops." The brown haired woman said.

"You have no problem with us, but instead we have problems with you." Lazarus replied, then gestured for all the members of his group to attack.

Lazarus and Magnolia immediately ran towards Curtis and the 3 injured female Priests. Curtis was confused as to why the Lazarus group was helping them.

"Curtis." Magnolia took off her mask.

"Daughter, are you okay?" Curtis asked.

"I'm fine and what about the other conditions?"

Curtis gritted his teeth, then kneeled towards Magnolia. "I'm sorry! After the battle with the Mythical Beast Ancient Black Fire Peacock, our troops dispersed and I had no idea what had happened to them."

Magnolia touched Curtis's hand. "Just calm down now you're safe, but there are so many enemies in the Cerulean Forest and you must join our group."

"Thank you, Princess Magnolia." Curtis stared at Lazarus and Galan who were only watching the battle from the side of the battlefield.

1 Hour had passed everyone had already killed those 20 people. Although their army only consisted of the Expert and Epic realms, but the 2 Legendary realm leaders fought fiercely against Hector, Icarus and Alastair.

Alastair takes the already severely wounded male leader towards Lazarus, while Hector still fights the female leader.

"Kaguya, help Hector. Before the enemy's reinforcements come, we must leave this place immediately."

"Haha. Aren't you guys afraid of the Silver Phoenix Empire and the Black Scorpion Orchid Alliance? If you dare to kill me it is the same as you will become enemies of the Silver Phoenix Empire and the Black Scorpion Orchid Alliance." The gray-haired man laughed.

Lazarus kicked the man in the stomach, then sat down before the man who was lying weakly on the ground.The "50,000 troops of the Silver Phoenix Empire Alliance, Black Bull Kingdom, Nebula Kingdom, Black Crow Kingdom, were among the members, The Green Viper Killer Union, the Black Scorpion Orchid Organization, the Beast King the ruler of the Northern region of the Cerulean Forest and the Marcentary Organization of Black Phoenix. You're really despicable for trapping people into the Cerulean Forest. You're going to hunt down, steal and kill all those people, then after coming out of the Cerulean Forest you will spread false rumors to pit all the Great Kingdoms and Powers by saying that they all fought each other in the Cerulean Forest. This divisive and sheepfighting strategy is pretty good at creating chaos."

"Where do you know that!"

"I want to tell you that the dead don't see and hear." Lazarus cut off the man's head.

"Arka, have you given birth to a monster?" inner Galan.

Hector and Kaguya bring the female leader of the Alliance forces. The woman was terrified when Lazarus beheaded his colleague without blinking.

"What's your name?"

"Sir, my name is Anna!"

"Are you a Black Mage?"

"Master, I am a Black Mage who comes from the Black Crow Kingdom. Please don't kill me!" Anna begged.

"Do you not have parasites and curses placed on your body?"

"I've already removed the curse embedded in my soul because I'm a talented Black Mage. I'm just a Marcenary recruited to the Black Crow Kingdom and our relationship is just a co-worker."

"Well, when you sign this slave contract. I'll let you live."

"I am Anna not going to be a slave! I'd rather die than be a slave."

"Alright, Kaguya kill him."

"Wait!"

"Did you change your mind?"

"I will agree to a temporary slave contract! 3 Years, I will be your slave for 3 years."

Lazarus gives Anna the slave contract paper, and Anna drips her blood into it.

"All right, I'll give you a job."

Lazarus recounts his plans to Anna, slowly changing Anna's expression upon hearing Lazarus' plans.

"Sufuku. Your master is very evil, but I really like your plans. All right, I'll go back to base and execute your plan."

Lazarus gave the Healing Potion, Mana Potion and the snake mask to Anna. A moment later Anna went back to where the enemy alliance troops were.

"Evil! People like you will go straight into the Abyss!" Curtis shouted with a sweaty forehead.

"Curtis, everything is fair in love and war. They also use the same way, isn't it natural that I use the same way." Lazarus took off his mask.

"We have no chance of winning, if we fight directly with them. Most of us are certain to die, but in this way we have a chance to win." Lazarus says.

"But!!"

"Curtis, follow Urs' plan." Duke Levin took off his mask.

"Duke Levin, how does a Knight like you follow such a despicable plan!" Curtis yelling.

"Levin, to overcome the bad guys. We must use the bad guys and Urs is more evil than all of them! If we fight them head-on, I'm sure we'll all die the way they want!"

"I am a kind person!"

"We believe it." Everyone nodded.

"Why don't you believe it?"

"All right, I'll work together. But I'll only help for now." Curtis reached out to Lazarus.

"Alright, welcome to the Beast Mask Squad." Lazarus returns Curtis' hand, then gives Curtis a silver pig mask.

"I want a tiger mask!" Curtis exclaims.

Lazarus pulled out his hammer, then turned the pig mask artifact into a tiger mask.

"Dad, we've brought all of them Artifacts and Artifacts storage." Alastair says.

"Alright, I can use their Artifacts to create new Artifacts. It just so happens that our group will get bigger because after seeing Curtis, there's a good chance that there's still a lot of people who still survive." Lazarus says.

...****************...

2 Weeks later.

The Lazarus group attacked small groups of enemy alliance troops. In the danger-ridden Cerulean Forest also Beasts moving with small groups was much safer than moving with large troop groups.

Each alliance group of enemy forces consists of 20-100 people. They have a team composition consisting of the realm of Master, Grand Master, Expert and Epic. Divided into 5 teams, first is the scout force in charge of scouting the safe state or not, second is the cleaning force consisting of many people in the realm of Expert, Epic, Legendary and even Mythical, respectively, they were tasked with clearing the danger along the way, namely a high rank Beast and someone above the Epic realm. The third is the pursuing force in charge of pursuing the fleeing prey, the fourth is a special force consisting of strong people and has Unique Skills and the last is the main force that is the essence of everything, they were the strongest army that the Lazarus group had to stay away from for now.

The main force was in the Northern region of the Cerulean Forest and was a territory that the Lazarus group could not enter. The Lazarus group did not yet know how strong and how many main forces were. But right now they had to attack stealthily and save manpower for the final battle.

...****************...

A bald man with a scar in his eye along with 300 relief troops went towards the troops asking for help. They saw the corpses of 500 Alliance members, 1 group leader and the troops with Beast masks.

Carissa, Kaguya and Dimitrie were seen in the middle of the army's corpse with gasping breath, trembling legs and blood-filled armor.

"Don't kill them! We have to interrogate them first, who they are and what their purpose is!" The bald man ordered.

The bald man smiled widely as he looked at the armor Artifacts and weapons used by the corpses of the enemy troops. He guessed the enemy forces were special forces from one of the 4 Great Imperial Clans or the 12 Great Powers of Planet Antares.

"Haha. I'll get the power, the title, the credit and the wealth for killing them all. Although it was not me who defeated them, but I was able to get all of them for free. Thank you for sacrificing for me." The bald man's inner.

The bald man smiled broadly as he stepped towards Carissa, Kaguya and Dimitri. He then took out his telecommunications artifact.

"Master, I and my men have killed the rats that dare to attack our troops. They only have less than 100 troops and they are from the special forces of the aid of the Zephyra Empire." The man said to be using telecommunication artifacts.

"Baldie, kill them all and get back to the main force."

"All right."

Baldie smiled widely, he did not need to interrogate the remaining 3 people because whether it was from the Zephyra Empire, the Azure Dragon Organization or any other Great Power. The dead are still the dead, they cannot speak or hear.

Baldie took out his Giant Blade Artifact, then stepped towards Kaguya's attack range. He thought Kaguya and the other 2 people were already severely injured and could not fight back.

"I'll give you a painless death."

"Swoosh!"

Kaguya quickly unsheathed his Katana sword Artifact and beheaded Baldie.

"I've given you a death that doesn't hurt." Kaguya.

All the troops were shocked to see the leader who had suddenly been decapitated. Unaware of their shock, the corpse that was under their feet came alive and attacked them. A battle ensued, but in the absence of a leader they were scattered and easily defeated by Lazarus.

"Pretend to be dead and severely injured, then launch a surprise attack. Pretend to be a pig to eat a tiger." Lazarus murmuring.

"Urs, they're endless." Hector says.

"I think we should head for the South, before their main army finds out that we're alive, and then send more strong men and more troops to chase us." Lazarus says.

"We agree." Everyone answered.

Akira fell to his knees on the ground, he looked extremely exhausted.

"Are you hurt?"

"I'm just a little nauseous."

"Have you drunk potions yet?" Magnolia asked.

"Well, right now we have to find a place to rest for a while and are there any casualties on our side?" Lazarus asked.

"Urs, 2 of my Epic realm followers were killed in battle." Julian answered.

"I'm sorry." Julian gritted his teeth.

Lazarus riding on Emerald's back, he does not answer Julian's apology because death is an irreversible destiny.

Lazarus' group finds a giant cave near the hill blocked by slow plants and wild grass.

"Hector, Levin, Ren, Alastair go to the cave to see the situation. Are there any wild beasts inside that cave?"

"As your orders Father/Master/Urs."

Alastair and the others entered the cave, a moment later a long black-haired Demon, Iris red eyes and black Sklera attacked them with their long claws. Levin swiftly resisted the Demon's attack using his huge shield Artifact.

"Uncle Reiga!" Alastair yells.

"This sound!!"

"Levin, he's an ally! You can't attack him!" Alastair yells.

The group of Lazarus who heard the sound of a weapon clash immediately ran into the cave, they saw a four-horned Demon man with a black-eyed Sklera blocking Alastair and the others.

"Reiga why are you here and why is your armor broken?"

Sebastian, Deviela and the approximately 250 people of the Expert, Epic and 5-man Legendary realm with shabby conditions immediately went towards Reiga due to hearing the sounds of battle. They thought the enemy was attacking to where they were.

"Urs, I finally found you!" Sebastian ran towards Lazarus and hugged Lazarus with a smile.

Lazarus took off his mask and walked towards Deviela. "Why are you in the Cerulean Forest?"

Deviela froze, knowing that her body was still not fully healthy after childbirth. But he went straight to the Cerulean Forest without a second thought after reading Carissa's letter.

"I'm sorry."

Lazarus, raised his hand as if he wanted to slap Deviela in the face.

"Dad!" Alastair yells.

Deviela closed her eyes to receive a slap from Lazarus, but Lazarus only touched Deviela's forehead.

"Haha. I almost died here many times, thankfully you are fine. Are you injured and what danger have you been through in the Cerulean Forest?"

"Are you not angry?"

"I'm very angry, but I can't vent my anger by slapping or hitting you because time can't be played back." Lazarus smiled.

"Who is he?" Kaguya whispered to Icarus.

"Deviela is one of Uncle Urs' wives." Icarus answered.

"We will spend the night and rest in this place. Treat and feed the injured, then provide them with armor and supplies. We're gonna stay here for a few days and I'm gonna make other completeness."

"As your orders, sir." Everyone answered.

"Prince Heracles!" The Dark Beastman there said.

"Are you safe?" Heracles asked with a happy face seeing his followers still surviving.

"Duke Levin!"

"..."

Lazarus had Reina and Akira sitting next to him, they both looked sick in this time.

"Urs, what's going on?" Deviela asked.

"Deviela, they are Akira from the Frost Moonlight Empire and Reina from the Azure Dragon Organization. They looked sick and had no appetite these few days, but Magnolia had already used the Healing Skill. We've also given Healing and Mana Potion." Carissa said as she took out a water bottle from her storage artifact.

"Can I check on you?" Deviela asked.

Akira and Magnolia nodded and extended their hands towards Deviela.

"You two are pregnant! Nausea, dizziness, fatigue and a slightly bloated stomach are not diseases, but symptoms of pregnancy! I thought you were 5 weeks old."

Carissa was shocked and spouted her drinking water onto Lazarus face. She and everyone especially Yashamaru, Yun Shan and the members of the Azure Dragon Organization did not believe that Reina and Akira were pregnant.

"Impossible! How could Akira and Reina be pregnant for 3 months!" Lazarus shouting.

Akira and Reina have been with Lazarus and the others for several months. They must have been surprised to hear Akira and Reina were pregnant.

Lazarus took out the Regalia Sickle Artifact, then stared intently at his group and Yun Shan's group. He excluded Julian's group, Levin, Alcander and the others because they had just joined.

"Do not know who the people who impregnated Akira and Reina are!" Lazarus shouting.

All the men there froze silently, especially Zhuge, Kumokiri, Yun Shan, Yashamaru, Hector, Alastair, Icarus, Ryota, Jian, Ludger and Bedros.

"Master Urs." Curtis wants to calm Lazarus.

"Shut up! Which bastard dared to impregnate 2 members of the Mythical realm in this extremely dangerous condition! Confess it and I'll make it Linwood, Feira, Emerald and Little Gold!" Lazarus shouting.

"Reina, Akira can you tell me who these two men dared to do that to you?" Carissa asked.

Reina and Akira remember the incident while at the river with Lazarus. Their faces were slowly flushed red, wouldn't a Mythical realm would be very difficult to have offspring.

"Confess before my patience runs out!!" Lazarus swung the scythe of Regalia to the ground in front of everyone.

Julian and Alcander who saw him just laughed out loud. Which fool dared to impregnate Reina and Akira in this kind of dangerous condition.

"Haha. Both men must have had good fertility." Raiden laughed out loud.

"Shut up!" Fiona, Daisy and Amanda said.

"Urs, try to calm your mind." Cyrille says.

Lazarus sighed deeply, then looked at everyone.

"Ronin and Yun Shan, come here!"

"Ronin, Yun Shan, Akira and Reina are your aunts. Do you know who the people close to them are in the Cerulean Forest?"

"Urs, my aunt will slash all the men close to her. Gozaru." Ronin prostrate.

Yun Shan widened his eyes, he did not believe that Reina was pregnant because her body was storing deadly poison. Even for someone of the Mythical realm, even though Reina was an owner of many night entertainment houses and was known as Oiran. But Reina was a virgin. Let alone the man who slept with her, but the man who kissed her would definitely be poisoned.

A Legendary and Mythical realm was already extremely pregnant. It was even as difficult as a Mythical realm who wanted to break through the Void realm.

"Yun Shan, do you know anything?"

"Reina has a poisonous body, even someone of the Mythical realm and has an A Rank Immune Potion Skill will die or become seriously ill while kissing Reina. The culprit was a man who was not affected by Reina's poison." Yun Shan replied.

Alastair, Icarus and Hector widened their eyes, then stared intently at Lazarus.

"A Mythical realm had extremely low fertility like a High Elf. I thought the perpetrator was the same person and had high fertility." Jayde Draco said.

"I agree, even a blessing if a Legendary and Mythical realm has offspring because it can inherit talent from both parents." Aldebaran Silva replied.

Lazarus felt cold and bloodthirst behind him. He turned his head towards Carissa and Deviela who looked extremely angry.

"We already know who did it!" Carissa and Deviela replied in a cold voice.

"Say who! I'll break all his bones soon! I suspect Hector, Ludger and Bedros did it."

Hector gritted his teeth. "Urs, don't pretend you're the culprit! I originally thought you were a real man, but you were just a piece of trash who used your good looks and size to tempt women!"

"Dad, I'm gonna kill you!" Alastair yells.

"Uncle, I'm disappointed to think of you as my teacher. You always refused to teach me how to flirt with women!" Icarus yelling.

"Urs, you have 4 kidneys and your fertility is many times that of a normal man! If you want to make love to a woman, shouldn't you do it after you get out of the Cerulean Forest!" Ludger yelling.

"Yes!! Urs, you've cornered me! Though I've already said that I'm interested in Akira!" Bedros shed tears.

"Wait on! I never did! You guys are too cornering me! I have a strong alibi, 3 months ago we met Akira after the battle in the Cerulean Valley and Cliffs. Jaan and Julian are there, after which we cross paths with the Yun Shan Group and only briefly!"

Everyone is silent. The reason Lazarus said was reasonable, he had a strong alibi.

"Wait on! I told Reina to spy on your group, then she didn't come back for the whole night." Yun Shan said.

"Yes Reina didn't come back for one night." Kaguya and the members of the Azure Dragon Organization nodded.

"Urs and Aunt Akira also disappeared for one night. We searched for him for one night and didn't find them. Gozaru." Yashamaru says.

"Dad! I remember where you were when you went missing that night? Didn't you say you wanted to take a shower?" Alastair asked.

Lazarus remembered everything, he fell asleep by the river with Linwood. He saw a lump on Linwood's head like it was hit by a blunt object violently. He also sensed the person hiding under the river.

"No!!" Lazarus broke out in cold sweat and retreated backwards, then knelt down. A Puzzle in his memory began to be arranged and vaguely he slightly recalled the memories.

"Fuck! Why are you like that? Are you really the culprit?" Alcander yells.

"Wait on! I need to calm down first! Give me a little time to digest all this!" Lazarus.

Everyone froze, knowing that Lazarus was the culprit of all the evidence and testimony.

"About Reina did I do it?"

"This is all our fault and you are innocent." Reina smiled.

"I'll tell you everything that's happened." Akira smiles.

"Just calm down, we don't attach much importance to the order and make us your concubines." Reina added with a flushed face.

Magnolia stood frozen, she did not believe any of this because Akira was always with her.

"Sir, can we talk for a moment?" Deviela smiled, but Lazarus felt the aura of death from Deviela's smile.

"Sufuku. Are you very happy to be in the Cerulean Forest? How many more women have you got in the Cerulean Forest? Get out of here and we want to talk family business with you." Carissa put her arm around Lazarus' shoulder.

Like a slaughtered cattle beast, Deviela and Carissa walked with Lazarus out of the cave.

"Grandfather, Reiga, Sebastian, can you help me?" Lazarus asked.

"Hmmm.. I'm sorry, but you're a very great man." Galan gave Lazarus two thumbs up.

"Urs, be a real man and remember women are very strong when angry." Reiga says.

"I'm sorry if there's any other problem, I can help you. But in this matter, you are the guilty one." Sebastian smiled broadly.

"Please...."
