LAZARUS REGULUS
Chaptre 411. Hunting Competition Artemis III.

Regina, Iris, Altair and Lazarus tell me everything that happened. Agatha and everyone were trying to assess an extremely complicated matter, even the silent Feng Yun and Shui Yin were starting to get interested.

All the women were staring towards Altair, he was the real trash man. He is a bad influence for Lazarus, they are all aware that Regina and Iris are only victims. Lazarus and Altair were the main culprits in this matter.

"A very complicated matter." Feng Yun said.

"Why aren't you married?" Mo Lei asked.

"Mo Lei is not that easy. You know Regina is the Empress of the Red Dragon Empire, she is the leader of an Empire. All Nobles would not allow them to marry unless Lazarus had the same title." Reese says.

"You guys made it complicated, he just stayed rebellious and became the Emperor of the Lion Heart Empire." Agathias says.

"Dad, you know that Lazarus is the brother-in-law of Altair. He may rebel at any time, but he does not want to rebel. Lazarus is not a petty man like you and is willing to kill his family just for power." Deviela says.

"I don't agree, if we accept women again. I don't want Lazarus to marry for political purposes and can't he just go on a rampage and monopolize Lazarus himself?" Alyssa asked.

"..."

"Grandfather Hugo, I need your wisdom." Lazarus says.

"Hohohoo. Darren Grace Well can you tell me what happened?" Hugo asked.

"I told Regina, if she gets stronger and can beat me in a fight. I will allow him to choose his own path, he trains hard so that he gets stronger quickly. Regina managed to defeat me and cut off my hand, she wanted to go to Regulus and hear that Lazarus was dead. Regina started to close herself to training and the Red Dragon Empire started to move a little away from the matter of the 4 Continents. Regina had finally become the strongest person in the history of the Red Dragon Empire, she had finally become an Empress because she had no purpose anymore." Darren Grace Well said.

"Darren Grace Well, you deserve it and I'll cut off your hand myself. You want to kill my granddaughter, I will kill you cruelly!" Galan yelling.

"Is Lazarus the grandson of Ice King Galan? Aren't your grandchildren just Alcander and Carissa?" Darren Grace Well asked.

"Lazarus was the son of Uncle Arka. The heir to the Boreas Empire was actually, but he refused because he did not want to fight for power with Alcander. Do you know my Snow Flower territory? The former White King Orion government? Lazarus could have it, but he refused and eventually passed it on to my Son Atalla Regulus. Atalla will become a Duke of the Boreas Empire the ruler of the Snow Flower in the future." Carissa said while kissing Atalla.

"Has she had many children in the last 10 years? Are the children who support him are his children?" Regina asked.

"I have 15 children, but my son Ragna Son of Freya twin of Ainar died when he was born. Regina, do you know of many things that happened after 10 years of my return to Regulus?" Lazarus asked.

"You know a Legendary and Mythical realm takes hundreds to thousands of years to bear a son. The higher their realm, the more difficult they were to have a son and who was that beautiful golden-haired High Elf girl." Ariel says.

"My dear Ariana, come here." Lazarus says.

Ariana walked towards Lazarus, then sat on Lazarus' lap.

"Greetings to everyone. May the God of Life Gail bless you all." Ariana slouched.

"All your sons are very handsome and your daughters are very beautiful." Mo Lei said.

"Haha. They inherited my good looks and the beauty of all my wives. Thank you for your praise of Emperor Mo Lei." Lazarus answered.

"Heterochromia, an Elf with Heterochromia is very rare and has a quantity where it is 2 times larger than a typical Elf, whereas I only know of 3 High Elves who have Heterochromia eyes." Ariel said with sparkling eyes.

"Who's mother?" Regina asked.

"Alyssa is her mother."

"Very beautiful and do you want me to be your Master? I'll teach you everything." Ariel asked.

"Urs, better than all of you. I want to become a disciple and Urs, he has also promised to teach us all great Skills." Ariana replied.

Lazarus immediately shut Ariana's mouth. "Ariel, he's very young and they have to learn a lot. Can we keep this until they've completed the Resurrection Ceremony?"

"Lazarus, pick up your Magic Staff and duel a magic Skill with me! I'll prove no one is worthy of being Ariana's Master on Planet Antares, except me!" Ariel challenged Lazarus.

"Sit. Let's continue this conversation next time." Galan says.

"I understand." Ariel sat down, but stared intently at Lazarus.

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

The matter will be resolved in another 1 month in the Holy Imperial Court. But the Lazarus and Regina groups signed a soul agreement so that they would not fight each other in the Depth of the Forest of Artemis.

Lazarus carried Akari on his shoulders, then Regina walked past him.

"Do you forgive me?" Lazarus asked.

"Waste men like you deserve to die dozens of times!" Regina yells.

Alyssa wanted to answer Regina's insults, but Iris immediately stopped her. He did not want to provoke Regina's fairly subsided emotions.

"But I'm glad you're okay. Remember you can't die before I say you can die." Regina continued.

"I cannot promise you, but I will survive in this Artemis Hunt Competition." Lazarus answered.

"You have to promise me to stay alive!" Regina yells.

"I'm sorry, but I can't promise to continue living because the problems in the future will be more and more. It's a fortune I'm still alive today." Lazarus answered.

"You never change, you can't promise what you can't keep and stop apologizing, I've forgiven you because you've kept your promise to stay alive." Regina waved her hand, then walked away leaving Lazarus.

"Did you still remember my promise that day?" Lazarus asked.

"Be quiet, despicable man, rotten man.." Regina insulted Lazarus by various names, then smiled and disappeared in the crowd.

"Lazarus, will we meet again?"

"Regina, I promise you that we will meet again in the future."

"Sufuku. Did you promise?"

"I'm a man who never breaks my promise." Lazarus answered.

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

"Is this problem over?" Theresa asked.

"No, this problem is not over. Regina is a woman who struggles to achieve her goals, her beliefs are unshakable and her instincts are very sharp. I sometimes think Regina can guess someone right. But Regina has made peace with me and Iris she will not take revenge on the Regulus family." Lazarus smiled.

"Sadly, she found out that I was using medicine on you and teasing you with my body." Akira says.

"..."

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

Everyone gathered at the Coloseum, Duke Adrian Leandro and Elenio Aslan were seated in the audience seats. As well as Ash, Serkan, Alika, Emil and several strong figures on Planet Antares sat in the audience seats.

"Sir, can I go out now?" Aiden asked.

"Aiden, you are too eye-catching with the appearance of the Colour Dragon Goddess Tiamat, you can cause a big problem. I'll get you out while you're in the Forest of Artemis." Lazarus says.

Kyros went up to the podium. "I'm Crown Prince Kyros Albion declaring the 300th Artemis Hunting Competition is now starting!"

All representatives of the Empire, the Kingdom and the Great Powers on Planet Antares. 5 The gate is open, the gate is the gate to the 5 gates that go to the 5 outer regions of the Artemis region.

More than 1000 representatives and 218 groups entered the 5 gates.

"Urs, I'll go first." Sebastian says.

"Brother Urs, I will give you a bit of Beast Core to get into the top 50." Noa said and went inside the gate with the group of the Zephyra Empire.

"Sufuku. Let's meet again in the Forest of Artemis." A beautiful woman with long black hair and red eyes, with a scar on her right eye said.

The Lazarus group let out a long sigh, while Alastair gritted his teeth as many people insulted the Lion Heart Empire's Representative who was not eyeing victory.

"We must remember our original purpose and let's wait for everyone to go to the Forest of Artemis. Why should I rush? The competition will run for 2 weeks." Amelia says.

"Ludger, Ignis and the others like to go berserk inside the storage room. Their pride as high rank Beasts did not accept their insults." Lazarus says.

"Amor looks like that too." Helene smiled.

"Why don't we go after the top 3 champions with our strength, maybe we can get the top 30 champions!" Ethan gritted his teeth.

"Urs, why don't we go after the top 10 champions!" Edgard gritted his teeth.

"Altair and Lazarus had other things and were not provoked by their insults. Altair, I've put up at the gambling establishment who will be the 1-10 champion. You guys give me 6 billion gold coins, I put up every champion 600 million gold. If we win in a row the last bet will be at times 100 means we will get 65.4 billion gold coins and 6 billion gold coins we will return. If we can only guess the last 5 wins will be multiplied by 10." Cleon said while giving proof of payment to Altair and Lazarus.

"Lazarus, me and Helene trust you. Even though we lost, just 3 billion gold coins is just a little money for the Lion Heart Empire right now." Altair smile.

"Sufuku. The gain of Leonis territory for 2 months could cover the loss of 3 billion gold coins. Like the deal if we win in a bet, we'll split it into 3." Helene says.

Alastair, Ethan, Edgard and Ares widen their eyes, not knowing that Lazarus is betting by guessing victory. They find out Lazarus is a very cunning man and he is also an expert in gambling.

"Haha. The herbs and materials that we will get can cover the loss just assume that the victory is just a bonus. We will plunder the outer and central parts of the untouched territory of Artemis. Those fools preferred to hunt down Beasts and the humanoid race. They did not think of the large and rare resources in the Forest of Artemis. The prize we get will be bigger than the first champion of the Artemis Hunting Competition." Lazarus laughing.

Lazarus recalled as he conversed with Orion in the soul room.

"Urs, I remember about the Forest of Artemis. The forest was only touched once every 100 years and I knew of places overgrown with rare herbs and places where rare materials existed. At first I wanted to keep it to myself and wait until the herbs were in the top competition, but fate said otherwise I die first." Orion says.

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

Everyone was confused as to why Lazarus' group was so calm and did not enter the gate. The Lazarus group was like waiting for everyone to enter the Forest of Artemis, until finally all the groups had entered the Forest of Artemis.

"Lazarus, why don't you come in? Is your group resigning?" Kyros asked.

Lazarus took out all the Beast on his contract, except Aiden. Everyone was shocked to see Lazarus take out all the Beasts on his contract, even the 12 Elders of the Great Beast Clan were shocked to see all of that.

"Grooooharrr!" Ignis roars followed by shouts, roars, Aumans, desissan all his Beasts.

"They all insulted and provoked me, I don't want all my Beasts to go berserk and kill them before entering the Forest of Artemis." Lazarus said as he stroked Winter's white snake head.

"Baggot, do you want to fight!" Emperor Erland shouted.

Everyone was shocked, they did not know a Beast Master brought over 50 high rank contract Beasts to enter the Hunting Artemis competition.

"Jinlong, Black Dragon, Red Dragon, Fire Phoenix..." Everyone knew that each of the Beast contracts were extremely powerful.

"I understand for sure you have an evil purpose by hunting down representatives by waiting for them at the return gate! We have to disqualify him before the casualties increase!" Emperor Feng Yun shouted.

"Feng Yun, even though I'm his grandfather. I agree my granddaughter should be disqualified from this competition, sometimes my granddaughter is very cunning." Galan replied after seeing Lazarus all this time, he also felt terrified.

Reese, Agathias and the others nodded.

"When I aim for such a thing, I don't issue all of my Beast contracts here!" Lazarus walked towards the Statue of the Goddess of Hunting Artemis.

Everyone was speechless, they knew that if Lazarus had a plan as Emperor Feng Yun told Golden Sun, he would not have issued all of his Beast contracts in the Colosseum outright.

Lazarus gazed towards the black-coloured Light Goddess Hunt Artemis, this statue was originally an Artifact made by a mixture of Celestial Silver and silver in color. But in the past there was mass poisoning and everyone used the statue to neutralize the poison so that the statue which was originally silver turned black due to the poison.

Lazarus took out a dagger and slashed his hand until the blood poured out.

Everyone was silent to see all that. Lazarus threw his blood at the Goddess of Hunt.

"I swear by the name of the Goddess of Hunt who became my witness. Me and my group will not kill anyone, except those who target and attack us first!" Lazarus shouting.

Everyone trembled in fear at the sight of it, knowing that Lazarus had sworn a soul. Not even the most evil person would dare to swear a soul before a God.

Rias, Emil, Qinlei, Lucia, Ash and everyone who was on Planet Auriga widened their eyes. Magnolia, Ver, Elisha, Lumina and Iris smiled, as a Saint they knew Lazarus meant it. They wanted to pray for Lazarus' group to win, but Lazarus' group did not aim for victory.

"Uncle, I'm not a petty person like you." Lazarus says.

Emperor Feng Yun frowned, he felt his pride had already fallen and was humiliated in the presence of many people. Yet he was now not in the Eastern Continent of Golden Sun, but the Western Continent of Zephyra.

"Although you are petty, but Agathias is more insular be careful and use the Layered Defense Artifacts as he could have stolen in the Golden Sun Empire's treasure room." Lazarus said

"Bags, you make trouble, but you solve it. Even though you and I are enemies," Inner Feng Yun.

"Haha. I get it."

Agathias just sat down in cold sweat, he could not answer Lazarus.

Altair went to the front of the kneeling Lazarus, then Alastair and the others knelt down while Ignis and the Beasts just bowed.

"I am the Emperor Altair Lion Heart, vowing not to kill someone, unless they attack and target us first!" Altair says.

Lazarus got up, then the Lion Heart Empire Representative along with many of their contracted Beasts entered the gate to the Artemis Forest.

"Haha. Interesting, I'm Mo Lei admitting you!"

"Urs, is an interesting guy." Shiroyasha smiled.

"I don't know their purpose for the Artemis Hunting Competition, without aiming for victory." Leonhart Zephyra said.

Everyone was talking about Lazarus, then Iris noticed something happening to the statue of Goddess Artemis.

"Look at the statue!" Iris yells.

Everyone stared at the shining statue of the Goddess of Hunt Artemis, then its black layer disappeared replaced by a lustrous silver color.

"What's going on here!" Hugo shouted.

"Did the blood of Lazarus make his statue like this?" Gavin asked.

"Successful for the city of Artemis! Isn't that statue an Artifact? Everyone has shed their blood many times. But nothing worked, until finally the Artifact received a blood match!" Kyros yells.

"Does this mean the Gods heard the oath of Lazarus?" Reese asked.

"The gods heard his vow." Rias answered.

"Haha. This is all fate and not a coincidence!" Hugo laughing.

Empress Azalea along with 3 guards ran towards the Coloseum area. "Honey someone has already looted the storage room of the Imperial Treasure Zephyra!"

Everyone was at a loss as to who could loot the tightly guarded storage space of the Zephyra Imperial Treasure.

Reese and everyone on the podium narrowed their eyes and looked towards Agathias. Lazarus said that Agathias would plunder the storage space of the Golden Sun Imperial Treasure.

"Agathias, return all the treasures you have stolen." Reese said coldly.

"Urs, bastard I'm gonna beat you up, I'm gonna break all your ribs and break your legs! I already considered you as my own son, but you set me up!" inner Agathias.

"All right." Agathias took out many treasures from his storage Artifacts.

"Calculate all his possessions and if any are lacking. I will pay 3 times the compensation, you know the theft is ingrained in the Eternal Night Demon race?" Reese asked.

"Haha. Take it easy, we will forgive him because Emperor Agathias did not steal so many treasures." The Emperor of Erland said.

"Honey, Emperor Agathias stole one of the Eternal Blue Lily Rank Void given by Urs!" Empress Azalea shouted.

A bloodthirsty aura shot out from the Erland Emperor's body, "Agathias, bastard I will beat you up, I will break all your ribs and break your legs!"

"Dad I'll help you." Kyros.

"Urs, I've considered you my own Son, but you betrayed me!" Agathias yells.

Everyone tried to separate Agathias and the others. A box was thrown towards Laufey, then Laufey calmly wanted to pick it up. A hand held Laufey's hand.

"Fey, you never change and let's divide these 2 Eternal Blue Lily Rank Void, or make it into Elixir or Pill for the effect to increase." Adonis says.

Laufey nodded. "All right."

A fine hand grasped the box. "My son stole it, won't I also get a share?" Reese smiled subtly.

"Alright, we share 3 coincidences I have the acquaintance of a very great Alchemist." Adonis answered.

A woman's hand was holding the box. Laufey, Adonis and Reese look at the man, a beautiful woman with long black hair and Iris with black eyes. "This External Blue Lily doesn't belong to you, Reese, Laufey and Adonis. You never change."

"Veron!"

Saint Ver took the box, then gave it to Empress Azalea. "Stop a fight before someone gets hurt."

Azalea looked at the contents of the box, then calmed Erland and Kyros down.

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

The Lazarus group reached the swamp region.

"Haru, use the Lucky Cat Rank SS Skill."

"All right." Haru uses his Skill and every member of the Lazarus group gets a Statistics Luck (+1).

"Lime, order the wild Slime to inform the situation of the Artemis Forest. Fiona ordered all the insect Beasts to keep an eye on the state of the surrounding territory. Hyacinth and Beast birds watch the surrounding area from the top of the tree, if there are wild Beasts approaching you can hunt it. Albion, Golden Sun, Kai and Winter dived into the river in search of herbs and materials. While the rest watch this place, you must chase away the approaching humanoid race and hunt down all the wild Beasts, looking for herbs and materials in this region. I've put up a soul mark so the representatives will know you're a contract Beast. When they keep attacking you, you have to tell us and you can kill them for self-defense."

"Remember not to go into the depths of the Forest and draw attention. Ethan goes with Hyacinth to watch the Beast birds. Cleon goes with the White Fang to watch over the wolf pack, Amelia and Helene go with Ludger to watch over the big cat group. Alastair and Ares you will go with Ignis to watch over the Beast Dragon group. Helene used the Spirit King element of wind, earth and wood to watch the surrounding area report to me and Lazarus about something that happened using the Raegal Ring."

"As your orders." Everyone answered.

Only Lazarus and Altair remained. Lazarus then took out a mat and Altair helped him to set it up. Lazarus collected firewood, then made a fire and brought out many ingredients for cooking.

Altair took out 10 bottles of Wine, then took out a cigarette he burned the tip of the cigarette, then inhaled it and leaned against a tree.

"I feel alive again." Altair says.

"Haha. Let them do their job and we just have fun except for emergencies. They need a lot of experience surviving in the wild." Lazarus smiled.

"I'll help you cook." Altair says.

"Relax I will cook everything and you can relax because the Artemis Hunting Competition is still long. 13 more days, I think the benefits we get will be very much." Lazarus says.

"Haha. You're right." Altair says.
