LAZARUS REGULUS
Chaptre 409. Hunting Competition Artemis I.

The Lazarus group makes a backup plan, in case the first plan fails and something bad happens at the Artemis Hunting Competition.

"2 Hours before the Artemis Hunting Competition begins." Cleon says.

"Helene, how many Beast contracts do you have?" Lazarus asked.

"21 Beast contracts, I still have 51 Beast Slots remaining contracts." Helene took out all the Beasts on her contract and most of them were foxes, lions and wolves.

"Helene, do you need help?" A Five-Tailed Golden Fox asked.

Lazarus was intrigued when he saw the young Five-Tailed Golden Fox Beast as an adult, he would evolve into the rare Nine-Tailed Golden Fox.

"His name is Lunar and his son Luna, actually I haven't made a contract with him. Urs, are you interested in Luna?" Helene asked.

"Human, are you worthy of being my daughter's extremely beautiful Beast Master?" Nine-Tailed Golden Fox Lunar growled towards Lazarus.

"Change, do you dare bully Mr. Urs?" Ludger, who had just returned after eating the Giant Blue Eagle with Namean, returned to Lazarus and Altair.

"Beast King!" All of the contracted Beasts Helene trembled in fear as she sensed Ludger's aura.

Lunar broke out in cold sweat with trembling legs in fear, he stared at Ferys and Amor, but they seemed to be indifferent to Lunar.

"Ludger, take it easy she's just a Mother Beast trying to protect her daughter." Lazarus stroked Ludger's mane.

"Sir, is that Beast King Celestial Six-Winged Purple Lightning Amethys Black Lion your contracted Beast?" Lunar asked.

"Haha. I am the strongest Beast that Lord Urs has, he has already done a temporary soul contract with me. When Ignis has broken through to the Mythical Beast realm, he will make a contract with me, Soldrake, Winter and Summer." Ludger laughing.

"Silver Dragon Soldrake, Black Hell Snake Summer and Azure Scales White Snake Winter. They are 3 extremely powerful Beasts, I know of them from the memories of my ancestors." Nine-Tailed Golden Fox Lunar said.

Lazarus took out all of his contracted Beasts from the Mythical Space Beast Bracelet Rank he had created. Seen a great many high Rank Beasts before everyone, Agarwood, Alvar and the others looked extremely conspicuous. But the most striking ones are Five Element Dragon Aiden and Three-Element Nature Dragon Deer.

"Master, the storage room was white and extremely spacious. However, the defensive layer was very thin. With a single Magical Beast strike from the inside being able to destroy the Artifact, we can only remain silent there." Five Element Wolf Black Claws said.

"Master, we can't practice inside. You should have made the defensive layer stronger." The Black Dragon Asterion said.

"Stupid, even all Artifacts Rank above Mythical had a weak layer of defense. If it were a new Saint or Divine Rank Artifact that had a strong defensive layer, but that Artifact defied the world when I died maybe you would also die from being trapped inside that Artifact." Lazarus answered.

Everyone was shocked to see all the Beast contracts of Lazarus, he had countless powerful and rare high rank Beast contracts.

Lunar freaked out and retreated behind Helene, she hid behind Helene's body. He felt that he had offended someone they should not offend, but why would all those pure-blooded high-ranked Beasts be able to acknowledge and follow a human. Is there anything special about Lazarus? So that the arrogant Beast Dragon and Beast King could follow him.

"Change, we're not gonna kill you." Golden Sun Fenrir Blade said.

Lazarus walked towards Luna, then stroked Luna's fur. "Do you want to be my friend, a very beautiful girl?"

"Helene, did you allow me to be the Beast on her contract?" Luna asked.

"Urs will definitely take good care of you." Helene smiled.

"All right, I'll come with you. My master." Luna kneels as a symbol of surrender to Lazarus.

Lazarus made a contract with Luna, now Beast slots his contract is only 7 left because he prepared 4 Slots for Ludger, Winter, Summer and Soldrake.

"Luna, welcome to my family. Celestial as usual you have to keep the new Beast." Lazarus says.

"As you command, Master." Violet Mink Celestial jumped onto Luna's head.

****************

"Urs, do you want to go to war by bringing all of your Beast contracts?" Altair asked.

"The forest of Artemis is a battlefield. I brought Ignis and the others to help us all." Lazarus answered.

"The more people the better." Edgard says.

"Beast contracts counted as weapons instead of representatives of Artemis hunting competitions. I thought there would be a lot of powerful Beast Masters on Planet Antares who would participate in the hunting competition, but it had advantages and disadvantages." Ethan says.

"The Beast essence of the Beast contracted Beast Beast Master does not count in points because the Beast Core of a Beast Master's contract has a soul mark. However the loss is very significant, if the Beast high rank contract Beast Master dies. It would be a great loss to the Beast Master, the Kingdom, the great Empire and the great powers affiliated with it." Cleon says.

"Cleon, you must have learned a lot during this time and I'll only take them out, if you're in an emergency. I don't plan to fight it out, but inside the forest everything can happen. Do you know why many died during the Artemis Hunt Competition?" Lazarus asked.

"Hunting humans and stealing points is easier than hunting Beasts. Align with other groups and use a variety of tactics." Cleon answered.

"Galan's grandfather told me that Castor and Alcander's victory wasn't just about hunting Beasts. They used a way that broke the rules, but in the forest anything could happen and there was no evidence to prove them guilty." Lazarus says.

"Although there were 1 person from the Holy Empire who became the overseer to watch over, but they often died and disappeared inside the Forest of Artemis. So now there was no supervisor to oversee the Artemis Hunting Competition." Alastair says.

"Helene, grab this Mythical Space Beast Bracelet Rank to keep all of your Contract Beasts." Lazarus threw the Mythical Space Beast Bracelet Rank to Helene.

"Urs, what's the price ?" Helene asked.

"20 Billion gold coins. I'm just giving you the material price." Lazarus answered.

"Can I take it?" Helene asked.

"Iris and the others have already paid. They used their personal wealth to buy these Artifacts and told me to give them to you." Lazarus answered.

Lazarus and Helene entered their contract Beast into the Space Beast Bracelet Artifact. Haru jumps on Lazarus' shoulder, he wants to be with Lazarus.

Haru always disguised himself as a black cat and wandered around the Regulus region in search of information. He always provided information about what was happening in the Regulus region.

"Haru, I want to see the kitten immediately." Lazarus says.

"Miaww. My relationship with Snow Leaf did not go well, she said that my wild instincts were gone. I have to prove my love for him by being stronger than him and he'll make a baby when I can beat him." The black Nekomata beast with the tip of the red tail said.

Lazarus, Alastair and Amelia ride on Ludger's back, while Altair inserts Nemea into the Beast's storage Artifact. He knew that riding the Beast flew faster.

Helene rode on a Legendary Beast Golden Griffin named Amor. Altair rides on Alvar's back, Cleon rides Kiara, Ethan and Edgard on Regulus, while Ares rides the Golden Fang.

"Am I heavy?" Ares asked.

"No, I can even lift a person 5 times heavier than you. Master let me be your leader in position V." Golden Fang said.

"Stupid, when you lead. We'll get lost to another continent. Let Regulus take the lead because he's a very high-flying Beast." Ludger says.

The Lazarus group entered the dimensional Gate, everyone who was in the Raven Capital was shocked to see 6 Winged cat Beasts flying out from the dimensional Gate.

"Are you Emperor Altair and those 5 people your Contract Beasts?" A guard asked.

"Master, we are the representatives of Lion Heart Empire to take part in the Hunting Competition." Altair says.

"Emperor Altair, the Artemis Hunting Competition is on hold and will begin tomorrow. The Artemis Hunt Contest is now followed by the Representatives of all Kingdoms, Empires and Great Powers in the 4 Continents." The guard said.

Lazarus came down from Ludger's back, then went with the guard to the back alley. The guard said all the information he knew about the Artemis Hunting Competition.

"What did Lazarus do?" Amelia asked.

"Dad's looking for information." Alastair says.

Lazarus and the guard returned to Lazarus' group. The guard was terrified because Lazarus knew his plan. Lord Abercio said the Lion Heart Empire group would soon come past this dimensional Gate and he had to keep an eye on it, then tell Abercio of their arrival.

"Emperor Altair, forgive me for stopping you. I only accept young master Abercio's orders to buy you time." The guard kneels.

"No, you only do your Master's duty and when you buy time for another leader. I fear that your head and body are separated, according to the rules of the Continent a guard cannot buy time High-ranking Nobles and the punishment is death." Altair smiled subtly.

"I have a wife and a baby. I'm sorry!" The guard kowtowed while banging his head until it bled, all the residents stared at the guard. However they did not dare to approach because of the high rank Beast and were afraid of offending the Lazarus group.

Regulus led a herd of Beasts flying up into the sky quickly, they were as if they were running above the clouds. The view above the sky is beautiful. They can touch the clouds.

"It's beautiful." Amelia says.

The Winged Silver Wind White Lion Regulus led the way at the front, they used a V letter formation to reduce air friction

"Mr Urs, I'm afraid of heights. Can we fly lower?" Ares asked.

"Hold on, it only took us 10 minutes to reach Artemis City." Lazarus answered.

"Lazarus, why don't you wait for Mr Abercio?" Cleon asked.

"Your emperor is the leader, aren't we not going to meet another group at this height?" Lazarus asked.

"The representatives of the Zephyra Empire will definitely propose an alliance, they are eyeing the top 3 champions. While the Lion Heart Empire is not aiming for victory, we are aiming for the resources of the Artemis Forest and return alive. We won't be in alliance with any representative, but I'm sure we can be in the top 50." Altair smile.

"What, if representatives from other Kingdoms and Empires attack us?" Edgard asked.

"Edgard, we must kill them to protect ourselves." Altair says.

"We all understand." Lazarus and everyone answered.

"Helene, I think you should wear a face-covering cloth. Your beauty can make all men fight each other." Lazarus says.

"Sufuku. Are you jealous someone a handsome noble will tease me?" Helene asked.

"Lilian will be angry if something bad happens to you." Lazarus answered.

The Lazarus group landed at the gate of the City of Artemis. The statue of a beautiful Goddess wears clothes from tiger skin, carrying a spear, bow, arrow and helmet.

The walls and gates were extremely sturdy.The 2 guards of the Mythical realm guarded the right and left sides of the gate. They requested an invitation from every representative invited to the Artemis Hunting Competition.

The Lazarus group was of concern for bringing 7 high rank Beasts into mounts. Lazarus and Helene immediately put their contract Beast into the storage artifact leaving only Haru and Ludger.

"Alastair, are you ready?" Lazarus asked.

Altair took out the Golden Lion Namean, then boarded it. As the leader and Emperor of the Lion Heart Empire, Altair obtained the invitation and the representative leader of the Lion Heart Empire.

Lazarus and the others were walking behind Altair, they were especially striking because of the 2 Mythical Beast lions they had brought. People must have known that Altair and the others were strong candidates in the hunting competition.

"Why do we have to be flashy?" Cleon asked using a voice transmission.

"Cleon, we have to show our strength so they don't come after us. Most people would definitely think 2 times to target the group that carried 2 Mythical Beasts. They mostly oppress the weak and fear the strong." Altair says.

"Emperor Altair, I understand." Cleon says.

"Just call me Altair because we're not in the Lion Heart Empire right now." Altair says.

The 2 guards stared towards the Lion Heart Empire's Representative, then Altair gave out an invitation letter.

"9 people. You can come in." An unfamiliar-sounding voice rang out from one of the Mythical Rank guards wearing a Helmet.

"Urs, haven't seen each other in a long time. Once my work is done, I'll be visiting you soon." Curtis took off his helmet while smiling at Lazarus.

"Curtis."

"Haha. The Mighty Golden Lion Fruit you gave me when the Alliance of Great Kingdoms and Powers made me have 1 child. I'm very grateful to you and will pay my debt to you." Leon says.

"Leon."

The Lazarus group entered the City of Artemis, they saw people of various races and Beasts passing by. They were merchants, Nobles and representatives of every Kingdom, Empire and Great Power in the 4 Continents.

"We must find an inn far from the Forest of Artemis." Altair says.

"As your orders." Lazarus answered.

The Lazarus group continued walking on the streets of Artemis City, everyone staring at them and whispering to each other. They also met some acquaintances, but they did not greet him for fear that the other representatives thought they were in alliance.

A snow-white-haired man and blue eyes with a height of 160 Cm ran towards the Lazarus Group while strengthening his aura. He carried a beautiful white-colored spear Artifact with a Phoenix head engraving.

The haired man jumped up, then attacked Lazarus using his spear Artifact.

"Ice Phoenix Spear Art!"

Lazarus immediately took out the Great Sword Frostmoure from its scabbard and resisted the man's attack. The freezing cold wave spread froze the region in the surrounding area. Everyone immediately moved away from the fighting territory, while those who were curious approached to see who was fighting in the middle of the city.

The tallest tower in the city of Artemis. A beautiful woman in red armor carrying a huge Great Sword stood together with a burly middle-aged man with short red hair, blue eyes with an incision scar on his left eye, wearing black armor sat down while eating the roasted thigh of a Beast.

They saw everything that happened in the City of Artemis from the top of the tower while using the Binocular Artifacts developed by The North Alliance.

"Regina, do you know who fought with Alcander?" Grand Duke Darren Grace Well asked.

Empress Griselda did not answer him and only paid attention to the fight. His heart started to heat up when he saw Altair, then he focused on the black-haired handsome man and the blue eyes.

"Wait, didn't he die 43 years ago?" Regina muttered, her emotions mixed when she saw Lazarus. Hatred, longing, jealousy, anger and sadness mixed into one

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

Alcander attacked Lazarus ferociously, he paid no heed to the surrounding territory and continued to swing his spear towards Lazarus.

The guards wanted to break up the fight of Lazarus, but Ariel and the 7 representatives of the Boreas Empire.

"If you take another step, I'll make you hurt." Ariel smiled as she opened her white robe. Looks a handsome High Elf with long white hair and blue eyes. Sage Ariel was the strongest Mage in the Northern Continent of the Boreas, his name was known in the 4 Continents and someone who never messed with his words.

Amelia Rosewood wanted to help Lazarus, but Alastair immediately stopped him. Lazarus and Alcander always fight when they meet. Alcander greeted in his own way and he was defeated in his final fight with Lazarus. Although Alcander was suppressing his realm at the time, it damaged Alcander's self-esteem and motivated Alcander to defeat Lazarus.

Alcander now considers Lazarus his Rival and wants to avenge his past defeat.

"Little boy, use all your abilities." Lazarus smiled softly.

"Black cat, I will crush your arrogance. After you lose, you must be bare-chested around the city of Artemis while singing. I'll do the opposite, if I lose, then I'll be bare-chested and sing." Alcander smiled broadly.

"Haha. Agreed, I want to see the Emperor of the Boreas Empire sing topless." Lazarus laughed, then used the Northern Noble Bloodline Skill and his hair turned snow-white.

"Ice Wing!"

"White Fire Wing!"

Lazarus and Alcander fly in the sky of the city of Artemis. They were fighting in the sky, and Lazarus saw a blemish and immediately kicked Alcander in the face. Alcander, however, managed to avenge his attack by banging Lazarus in the head. The two of them fell from the sky and created a crack in the middle of the City of Artemis.

"Buck, who's that strong guy? He can compensate Alcander in battle."

"Haha. Urs, you've been getting stronger since we last met. Really Lilith?." Arhat laughed out loud hugging his wife, a one-eyed Cyclop.

"Arhat, the man has grown stronger. I guess he's already attracted the attention of the powerful people who are in the City of Artemis." Empress Lilith Nightmare who was seated looking at the Lazarus fight from the window replied coldly.

"My best friend when we were less than 100 years old, we had a burning soul like them." A man with long black hair and red eyes said.

"Haha. We're just being judges here and it looks like everyone's interested in their fight because it hasn't separated them." A burly man in brown skin, long black hair and blue eyes said.

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

"Kukkoy. Very interesting fight, isn't it uncle?" A 4-armed Demon Ashura race man, long black colored hair with a pair of horns and blue eyes said.

"Emperor Alcander Boreas, will definitely win the fight." An Ashura race woman said.

"The two of you are still lacking experience and Alcander is in unfavorable condition. In the actual fight, Alcander would have lost, who was that man and why had I never seen and heard his name?"

"Urs The North, she's Akira's husband." Shiroyasha replied.

"Interesting, my blood is boiling. Can I join the fight?" The man smiled.

"No. You can't help yourself, I'm afraid Artemis City will be destroyed if you fight." Shiroyasha says.

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

Lazarus and Alcander kept their distance, then Lazarus sheathed the Great Sword Frostmoure Artifact and Alcander kept the Spear Artifact.

The two of them fought using a blank-handed battle Skill/Skill Martial Art. Each of their punches was powerful, and Alcander tried to push Lazarus down. But Lazarus managed to resist the power of Alcander.

"Dumb, you look weak." Lazarus says.

Alcander became angry, then slammed Lazarus' body violently onto the ground. Now Alcander is above Lazarus and is in a favourable position.

"Black cat, you will die here!" Alcander smiled and hit Lazarus in the face.

Lazarus hugged Alcander firmly, then tried to lock his hand, but Alcander managed to lift Lazarus with one hand.

"Little boy, you have great strength as always." Lazarus smiled.

"Black cat, die!" Alcander shouted and slammed Lazarus' body.

"Little boy, now it's my turn!" Lazarus kicked Alcander's body hard, the sound of the impact of the armor sounded extremely loud.

Lazarus pushes Alcander to the ground, now he is above Alcander's body. Not wasting a chance, he continued to punch Alcander in the face, then Alcander countered him by banging his head against Lazarus' face.

"Dumb, do you think only your head is hard!" Lazarus banged his head against Alcander.

The two of them continued to wrestle for ten minutes. Alcander knew, though his powers and Lazarus were equal. But Lazarus' bare-handed battle skill was superior to him.

Alcander strengthened his aura, then threw Lazarus' body into the air. But Lazarus made a somersault in midair and landed on the ground smoothly.

"Black cat, haven't you already broken through the Mythical realm? Now I won't hold back against you." The region around Alcander froze, a light of energy where blue-colored ice elements gathered on Alcander's body. He took out a golden-coloured Long Sword, The artifact was a Mythical Long Sword Harpe Rank.

Alcander's face was as calm as ice, but his mana energy churned like a huge wave in the ocean. Everyone who was there felt a chill especially the people who were near the fighting territory.

"Haha. The man's gonna die when Alcander's serious." A man with long black hair and red eyes laughed out loud.

"In any fight can happen and the winner has not been determined." A woman with long blonde hair and silver eyes said.

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

"Dumb, do you want to fight with me until one of us is seriously injured or dies? I will serve you until the end!"

Everyone was shocked to feel the aura released by Lazarus, they were very familiar with this aura especially someone who had lived for a long time.

"As expected of my descendants." Laufey smiled softly as he drank tea in a tall building while enjoying the fight.

The aura should the strong blood radiate like a sea wave, Lazarus' long snow-white hair lifted into the air. The surrounding area froze.

Everyone in the City of Artemis was stunned as Lazarus let out his extremely domineering, cold and dark aura. Lazarus' body was covered in darkness as if, he was a man who was in the depths of a cold dark abyss.

"Donuts, they both want to fight it out here and why would a young man have an aura this strong!"

"Sufuku. The blue eyes are so beautiful and I want to pry, then make it my collection."

A black-haired man, green eyes, carrying a bamboo stick and wearing a straw hat looked at the fight seriously. He learns the fight is not the friendly fight he thinks it is, but a life-and-death fight between the 2 strongest men on Planet Antares.

"Who is that guy? Why had I never seen and heard of a man that strong?" the Inner Man.

Reese and Rias watch the Lazarus fight, knowing that this fight is overkill. If left alone one of them will die.

"Agathias, separate them."

"All right."

Alcander and Lazarus stared at each other intently, they grasped their Artifacts tightly as if they were ready to attack. They put up the horses to take out their Sword Art Skills, watching and judging each other and sighing long.

Alcander and Lazarus attack together. The clash of their two swords caused a shockwave that destroyed the surrounding region.

They attacked each other very quickly. With smiles on the faces of Alcander and Lazarus, they enjoyed the fight.

As a Boreas Empire he could not fight with his might with someone who was balanced.

Alcander was so tired of fighting with wild high Beasts that even in the Northern Continent he could not bring out all of his abilities.

As an Emperor of the Boreas Empire, no one dared to seriously fight with Alcander. As a result of Alcander's development being hampered, he was someone who became strong by fighting.

But Lazarus can quench his thirst, he has a strong strength, tactics, stamina and intelligence more than the strong people who know Alcander. Most important was that Lazarus was his cousin, all the people of the Northern Continent of the Boreas would not be able to prohibit friendly fights between cousins.

"Boom!"

Alcander fell hard to the ground, creating a large crack hole due to the impact of Alcander's body.

"Black cat, let's end this." Alcander spat out blood while looking at Lazarus flying above him.

"Little boy, you're gonna lose." Lazarus came down and looked at Alcander sharply.

"Divine Ice Phoenix Sword Art!"

"Silver Moon Sword Art."

Lazarus and Alcander attacked simultaneously using all their attacks, but Laufey, Agatha, Galan, Altair, Ares, Legolas, Agathias, Kyros, Rhodes and Helene held him. They deflected the direction of Lazarus and Alcander's attack into the sky, silver light and blue light streaking toward the sky.

Everyone looked at the 2 extremely beautiful light pillars especially the silver colored light pillar. A moment later the two pillars of light shattered above the sky.

"Who won?" Verga asked.

"Urs are victorious, if the two attacks collide with each other." Ash replied.

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

Lazarus and Alcander drew their mana energy together. They overdone it and forgot that they were now in the City of Artemis.

"Why are you fighting? Are you aware of what you've done?" Kyros asked.

"Kyros, it was the Midget who attacked me first and I was just defending myself." Lazarus replied, then Two-tailed Dark Cat Haru jumped onto Lazarus shoulder.

"Alcander, can you explain it?" Agatha asked.

"Grandmother, I just want to try the black cat's powers. But we both got carried away and ended up fighting seriously." Alcander answered.

"Do you want to be punished?" Kyros asked.

"Brother-in-law, why did you just separate us now? Shouldn't you have separated us at the beginning of the fight so that it would minimize the impact of the damage?" Lazarus asked.

"What do you mean?" Laufey smiled.

"I feel like people deliberately don't separate us because they want to watch our fight. Our fight is very interesting for them to watch, isn't it Grandpa Galan, Grandma Agatha and Sister-in-law Kyros?" Lazarus asked.

Everyone could not answer Lazarus' question because everything Lazarus said was true.

"Me and Alcander will be responsible for the destruction of this territory. Kyros, we know you've evacuated the ordinary residents of this region, so we dare to fight seriously." Lazarus says.

"Haha. Urs, you're as smart as ever." Kyros laughs.

"Black cat, let me pay for the damage caused by our fight." Alcander says.

"thank you. Midget, I've never been to Artemis City. Do you know the best restaurants in the region. I feel so hungry after fighting." Lazarus says.

"All right, I'll treat you." Alcander answered.

Lazarus and Alcander left the place. Suddenly the atmosphere became silent, the two of them left Galan and the others. A while ago Lazarus and Alcander fought each other, but now they look like brothers.

"Wait, why are we letting them go!" Legolas yelling.

"Rubby fleas, we've been manipulated by the black cat without us noticing." Agathias says.

"Why did the Boreas Empire have to pay for the damage of Alcander's fight? Although he was the Emperor of the Boreas Empire, but he was the one who fought. It should be him who pays the damages with his personal wealth." Agatha says.

Everyone stared at the backs of Alcander and Lazarus who were slowly stepping away, but they did not know that Lazarus and Alcander were just trying to be calm

"Urs, it looks like they've already noticed it."

"Wait, until Grandpa Galan yells and runs towards us because I already have a plan to escape."

"I trust you because if we get caught Grandma will beat us all out."

"Bag, I'll beat you both up!" Galan shouted as he ran towards Lazarus.

"1 2 3." Lazarus counts to the third count, then Ludger immediately pushes Galan. Galan rolled around, then landed smoothly.

"Rooooar" Ludger roared like the sound of thunder, Kyros and the others were surprised to feel a powerful aura emanating from Ludger, even that aura was as powerful as Laufey.

Ludger ran towards Lazarus and Alcander, then they climbed on Ludger's back and fled from the place. Although they had already solved all the problems, but they did not want to be targeted by Galan and Agatha.

"The black cat and the white fox are very cunning!" Agathias yells.

"Cih, but there was a lot of fighting in the City of Artemis when the Artemis hunting competition was held. Not only did Lazarus and Alcander do it, they were also already responsible for making amends." Legolas yelling.

"Agatha, Galan, you're spoiling them both too much." Laufey says.

"Dad, I'm gonna hang those two upside down on top of the tower! Ariel help me fight that stupid lion!" Agatha screaming.

"All right."

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

"Stupid, is Grandma that mean?" Lazarus who was tied up in the center of the highest tower asked.

"Hanging upside down in the tower is better than being bare-chested and singing around the City of Artemis." Alcander who was tied upside down on top of the tower beside Lazarus answered.

"Mr Urs, why can't I fight them?" Ludger who was tied upside down beside Alcander asked.

"Why am I hanging. Miaaew." Haru meowing.

"Ludger, you should save your strength for later competency and Grandma is my family." Lazarus answered.

"Are you aiming for the 1st place?"

"Me and the representatives of the Lion Heart Empire are not eyeing the champion. We will only take part in the Artemis Hunting Competition as a formality. Surviving is better than being a champion in the Hunting Competition. You see the many people who have just come and they are all representatives of every Kingdom, Empire and Great Power." Lazarus answered.

"I think you're going to get into the top 30, not but even the top 10. Do you want to..."

"I don't want to make an alliance with any representative, we won't go into the depths of the Forest. We're just exploring the outside and the middle of the forest." Lazarus smiled.

"But this year's gift is precious." Alcander says.

"Do you mean Wealth, Artifacts and Valuable Materials? I don't lack everything and we're not ambitious or greedy." Lazarus says.

"I still don't understand you." Alcander says.

Galan, Agatha and Laufey untied Lazarus and the others. They had already hung them for 3 hours and had already become the center of everyone's attention.

"Grs." Helene says.

"Helene, sit with us here." Lazarus says.

Helene sat beside Lazarus. Laufey and Alcander are fascinated by the beauty of Helene's purple eyes, while Galan just smiles. Galan is a man who is very loyal to one woman, he does not know why all his grandchildren form a Harem.

Helene sat down beside Lazarus, then opened her face. Instantly the world of Alcander and Laufey stopped when he saw the beautiful face of Helene, especially her beautiful smile and dimples that add to Helene's beauty. Although Iris, Lilian and Griselda are very beautiful, but according to them Helene is more beautiful because it has a unique charm to attract bees.

"Greetings, my name is Duchess Helene Leonis Ruler of the Land of Leonis of the Lion Heart Empire." Helene says.

"My name is Demon Emperor Laufey Emperor of the Eternal Frost Empire, a patron of the North." Laufey introduced herself with a low smile and kissed Helene's hand.

"Duchess Helene, you are very beautiful and only 7 women can rival your beauty in the 4 Continents. But if I have to choose, I prefer you." Emperor Alcander smiled brightly.

Lazarus stared intently at Alcander and Laufey, both of whom were lions. Why did Lazarus meet many male lions in Antares, even though he was himself a male lion. But she could still hold back her lust, probably because she had seen Iris so often that her beauty did not have much effect on her.

"Hay Old man, Helene is only 19 years old. As someone who has lived for more than 100 years, let the young people handle it." Lazarus was holding onto Helene's shoulder.

"..."

Helene was suddenly startled as Lazarus suddenly grabbed her. In his heart was still his Beloved Reinhart, but Reinhart was dead. He wished Reinhart was reborn just as he seemed, he wished Lazarus was Reinhart. But Lazarus was not Reinhart even though he had the same face.

Helene was very confused, she felt her heart churn. As a woman who has lived thousands of years in the past and one of the Supreme on Planet Auriga. He still hopes Reinhart is reborn as he is, he worries about his feelings whether he is in love with Lazarus or considers Lazarus as a replacement for his lover Reinhart.

They were all at the top of the tower and the sun was about to set. The Lazarus family felt a sense of peace as they gathered to see the setting sun.

The golden light looks beautiful. Seeing Sunset at the top of the tall tower made everyone's heart peaceful.

Lazarus let out a long sigh, then recalled about Reinhart who liked to sing at sunset.

Helene widened her eyes when she heard Lazarus sing. "Reinhart?"
