LAZARUS REGULUS
Chaptre 415. The Artemis End Hunting Competition.

All the remaining Royal Representatives, Empires and Great Powers gathered in the Colosseum. The dimensional gate slowly closed and everyone was looking for their representatives in the crowd of people, but nothing coming out meant the rest were already dead in the Forest of Artemis.

"Shion, you must be dealing with the wrong person. But you did your job well." The King of the Nebula Kingdom said in the spectator seat, then left with his group leaving the Coloseum.

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

"The 300th Hunting Competition of Artemis this time was worse than the past Artemis Hunting Competition of 120 groups only 70 complete and incomplete groups managed to survive. Out of the 1080 representatives only 500 people are still alive, remember I do not care about your grudges and we do not know what is happening inside the Forest of Artemis. You have signed a soul deal and are prepared to accept all the consequences including death." Kyros.

"Do you know about Planet Auriga?" Reese asked.

"Miss, we know it. Planet Auriga is called the upper realm and we can go there while breaking through the Saint realm above the Mythical realm." Someone answered.

"No, you guys are wrong after the Mythical realm there are still some realms. Void realm, King realm, Emperor realm, Sovereign realm, Supreme Realm, Half Saint realm and Saint realm. The one who will be the judge is the one who comes from the upper realms." Reese says.

Everyone was surprised to hear that the judge was from Planet Auriga, they already knew that people from the upper realms could go to the lower realms, but could not use their original colors.

"Blue Wind Domain." One woman said, the Coloseum arena is covered by a blue dome-shaped layer of defense.

3 People climbed onto the podium, a long black haired beautiful woman with silver eyes and a red-eyed Black Dragon Beastman race woman, but she was a Sovereign Beast Crossbreed Black Dragon.

The 12 level 98 and 99 Beasts guarding in the tower bowed slightly even though they learned that the woman was an extremely powerful Beast.

"That female Black Dragon exuded an extremely powerful aura." Ludger says.

"Kneel down she has a level..." Lazarus whispers.

Ludger immediately knelt down, knowing from Lazarus that there were still many Beasts stronger than him on Planet Antares.

"I never expected to meet my ex-wife in a previous life and I now remember my little lover. Is he still alive and he looks a lot like Helene? Is all this just a coincidence?" Lazarus asked.

Lucia gave off an extremely powerful aura, all the ordinary people in the realm under Epic instantly fainted and the rest tried to try the pressure or kneel down.

Lazarus had told Altair and all his companions that the powerful aura of oppression was to test belief. Although Altair and Ares wanted to kneel, but they still forced themselves not to kneel.

Lucia climbed onto the podium and retracted her aura, only 30 people were unaffected by her aura, 200 people remained trying to stand up, 200 people were kneeling and the rest were unconscious.

"Lumayan." Lucia says.

"Miss Lucia Griffin Granny of Gold Bank Leader Frederick Griffin and Third Daughter of the Rigel Merchant Union. The Karserian Empire Beast Duchess Arista Gaius Hibiscus Black Dragon will announce the winner in the Artemis Hunting Competition." Kyros.

"Monster, I don't even stand a chance of winning against them. My decision to remain on Planet Antares is very correct because on Planet Auriga there are so many monsters that can destroy a Kingdom in a matter of minutes." Kyros.

Helene trembled in fear at the sight of Lucia, she had a bad experience with Lucia because she was Reinhart's legal wife.

"Helene, I'm here and they won't make a fuss on Planet Antares because Baxia is always watching them." Lazarus calms Helene.

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

"Sufuku. Am I really pretty? I look like a young girl and have 3 kids. I have many grandchildren and great-grandchildren, even though my husband died tens of thousands of years ago." Lucia chuckled and looked at the list of top fifty champions.

"Let's announce the champion of the 300th Artemis Hunting Competition!" Reese yells.

"The 50th Estuary is the Lion Heart Empire." Lucia says.

Lazarus drives Ludger and Altair driving Namean away in front of all the crowd. Lazarus's eyes and Lucia's eyes met each other, they felt the spring breeze blowing fiercely. Lucia's pupils widened, and Iris hugged Lazarus with her arms violently and puffed her cheeks.

"I'm sorry Miss, but I already have 13 wives and 14 children, all my family come to watch." Lazarus says.

"I'm sorry, when I saw you I thought of someone I knew. Wait for 13 wives and 14 children! Aren't you 100 years old?" Lucia asked.

"I'm 71 years old and she's my wife Iris Lion Heart." Lazarus smiled.

Lucia widens her eyes, guessing that Lazarus is Reinhart's illegitimate son with the fox, but learns that Lazarus is very young and that the fox died 1000 years ago.

Lucia stared at the woman hiding behind Lazarus' back.

"Helene, I'll protect you." Lazarus said it used voice transmission.

Helene's purple eyes stared at Lucia and her lips smiled brightly, a moment later a bloodthirsty aura appeared on Lucia's body. However Lucia pulled him back, she saw Helene very similar to a female fox. But the female fox was dead and Lucia herself buried her.

"Sufuku. Miss Lucia, you are so beautiful and my name is Helene Giselle Leonis I am 18 years old." Helene introduced herself.

Lucia's emotions were mixed as the 2 people in front of her were very similar to Reinhart and Helena. However, Lucia knows that the dead will not come back to life.

Karserian leaped towards Lazarus, then smelled the scent of Lazarus' body. As a Sovereign Beast, he had a keen sense of smell.

"The Black Dragon Orchid Rank Mythical." Karserian turned into a 30-meter Mythical Beast Black Dragon with many red runes on his body.

"Dass, I forgot that the Black Dragon Orchid Rank Mythical has a very pungent aroma to Black Dragon. But the scent could cover the scent of all the Beasts inside the Draupnir Ring, it seemed that this female Beast Dragon was unaware of the whereabouts of Asterion, Ignis and the others." Inner Lazarus.

"Man, give me all the Black Dragon Orchid you have! I can burn you to ashes, if you don't give it!" Karserian yelling.

Everyone was shocked to see Karserian trying to rob Lazarus blatantly and the Black Dragon Orchid was extremely rare. They thought Lazarus had gotten lucky while in the Forest of Artemis.

"Why are you bluffing me?" Lazarus asked.

"Little ants, I have pityed you!" Karserian yelling.

"Ludger, you must remember that if you are bullied by a high rank Beast there are only 2 choices. Giving what they want willingly signifies that you fear him and reject him, even if it means you have to die." Lazarus said while taking out the Black Dragon Orchid Rank Mythical to Karserian.

Ludger widened his eyes, thinking Lazarus would use the forbidden skill and duel with Karserian. But he chose to give her herbs.

"Man, you are now my follower. You must give me many delicious herbs and in return I will protect you for 3 months." Karserian said as he ate the Black Dragon Orchid Rank Mythical Herbs.

"I gave you my heart and you asked for my heart!" Lazarus shouted while giving the Beast storage Artifact to Iris.

"A very interesting man, I'll tease him a little more. Beasts in the Beast Empire have human-like intelligence and life, not like wild Beasts residing in forests, oceans and mountains." Karserian glanced at Ludger. "Six - Winged Purple Thunder Amethyst Black Lion. Why are Beasts with extremely pure blood here? Wait for that Beast to follow that human, even if he was born and stayed in the Beastman Empire, he would become one of the rarest and most powerful Beasts."

"Man, like you, wants to challenge me? Your level is only 91 and dare to challenge me?" Karserian smiles.

Lazarus let out the aura pressure of the Nine-Headed Golden Dragon, Nine-Headed Fire Phoenix, Demon Heilong and Storm Qilin

Karserian widened his eyes, but returned to his composure. He looked at Lazarus and saw Lazarus.

"I'm just kidding." Karserian smiles.

"I'll pay for the 2 Mythical Black Orchids that Karserian ate." Lucia says.

"Thank you." Lazarus smiled.

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

Lucia, Adonis and everyone jumped towards Lazarus. They found out that Lazarus had a great fortune, after seeing Lazarus take out 2 Mythical Rank herbs.

"Bag, I bet you the top 10 champion for 1 Billion gold coins and you spend my coins." Agathias says.

"Gilbert, even though you're a top 50 champion. But it seems you have a very big fortune." Adonis hugged Lazarus in the back.

"Sufuku. I'm a little interested in your storage artifacts." Laurels says.

"Brother Urs, I smell metal from your body. Did you find a precious metal mine in the Forest of Artemis?" Elder Boar a white-haired Dwarf said.

"Go, you may say that after the announcement of the champion is over." Reese says.

"Sufuku. Emperor Altair, your reward is 10,000 gold coins." Lucia smile.

"Thank you, Miss Lucia."

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

Lucia announces top 50 champion. The Albion Empire and the Silver Deer Empire were the 29th and 30th champions.

"Altair, get your gambling payout proof out. I'll show you a miracle."

"The 10th Vote is the Avalon Empire."

"The 9th Vote is the Black Market."

"The 8th Vote of the Golden Crow Empire."

"The 7th Vote of the Moonlight Frost Empire."

"The 6th Vote of the Golden Sun Empire."

All gamblers become disappointed because they lose a lot in betting. Agathias smiles for winning 4 bets and if 1 more bet is correct, then the last win is at times 5 and can cover the betting money. If 7 bets are correct the last bet will be at times 10.

Altair widened his eyes as all of Lazarus' bets were correct, he glanced at Lazarus with a sharp gaze as if everything was happening as Lazarus wished.

"Vote to 5 Gold Bank!" Lucia says.

Altair widened his eyes as his 6 billion money bet and Helene had already returned, now was to see her win.

"Vote to the 4th Empire of Zephyra." Kyros.

The Erland Emperor let out a long sigh that following the Artemis Hunting Competition this time around was not a veteran.

"Haha. Erland score we're now in a draw." Emperor Castor Silver Phoenix laughed, even though he was the 11th champion. The Silver Phoenix Empire accidentally sent out less experienced representatives like Cynthia and Victor, but they managed to return with only 1 death toll. Although the Silver Phoenix Empire won the Artemis Hunting Competition, only Castor and Lunala remained.

Lucia stared at the list of third champions, knowing that the third champion was beyond their predictions.

Altair widened his eyes the moment the Boreas Empire and Moonlight Empire were mentioned. Lazarus is betting on an Empire that not everyone has ever thought of.

"The Third Champion is the Eternal Frost Empire."

"The Second Vote is the Boreas' Roughness."

"The First Champion is the Moonlight Empire!"

Everyone widened their eyes hearing the Eternal Frost Empire was the second champion since 100 years ago the Eternal Frost Empire was the 11th champion.

"I won!" Altair shouted loudly.

Lazarus, Altair and Helene won 65.4 billion gold coins and 6 billion of their spouses' money back. Helene and Altair were very happy because they put up.60 billion gold coins of personal wealth, in contrast to the champion prize gold coins that were mostly taken by the Empire, which was the prize, Kingdoms and Great Powers as typical money and the rest are distributed.

Cleon, Ares, Amelia, Alastair and Edgard hugged each other while Athan widened his eyes seeing his betting list win, he earned 10.9 million gold coins just by putting up 1 million, he said, 100,000 gold coins in each bet.

"Impossible." Athan murmuring.

"Haha. The five of us put up 1 billion gold coins and each put up 100 million in each champion. You know we get. 11.4 billion gold coins and divided by 5. Lord Urs you are our lucky star!" Ares held Lazarus on his shoulder.

"Athan, I tell you to risk all your wealth!" Cleon smiled widely.

"Let's party after returning to the City of Artemis." Amelia laughs.

"Gas." Everyone answered.

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

Everyone stared at Lazarus, while Daren and Fredrick narrowed their eyes as there were 3 bets that managed to guess the 1-10 champion exactly.

"Urs The North!"

"Urs The North!"

Leonhart and the rest of the Regulus family cheered, as Cassandra and Blossom were there to see the match.

Everyone was confused as to why the Lion Heart Empire's Representative had become so happy, despite being the 50th champion. However they realize that there is only 1 reason, they win a very big bet.

"Cheat, I don't take it!" Feng Yuwen said.

Lucia gave off a bloodthirsty aura. "Prince Yuwen, why did you mention my judgment was fraudulent?"

"I'm sorry, but the Avalon Empire brought 3 Beast Kings, the Moonlight Empire brought 7 Beast Kings, the Eternal Frost Empire brought 4 Beast Kings. Our group fought with them and they brought the Beast King from the outside and we lost 2 people. The Boreas Empire was supposed to be the 6th champion, whereas we became the second champion due to our number of Core Beasts. Yet the Moonlight Empire, the Boreas Empire and the Eternal Frost Empire teamed up and robbed our Beast Core on the ninth day, so we had to hunt the Beast from the beginning." Feng Yan said.

"Haha. Maybe you mean hunting humans, not beasts." Sebastian smiled broadly.

"Miss Lucia, you have to give us justice." The injured Feng Yan said.

"Beast King is like a weapon and you guys also brought one Silver Celestial Beast King Wind Fenrir Syaoran and several Legendary Beasts." Luciana says.

"There is no cheating because there is nothing that prohibits you from making alliances and there is nothing that prohibits you from bringing along many level 94 Mythical Beasts, if you can tame them. Why were level 94 Beasts called Beast Kings because in the future they could break through the King Beast realm, even higher." Lucia says.

"Miss, I want to ask where the Avalon Empire, Eternal Frost Empire and Moonlight Empire can get 14 Beast Kings from. I made a pact with Feng Jiao and I just broke through level 94 and became a Beast King recently. Even for a powerful Empire like the Zephyra Empire it was very difficult to tame the Beast King, unless those 14 Beast Kings had an Alpa." The female Celestial Silver Wind Fenrir said.

"I'm also curious how they can tame a level 94 Mythical Beast." Celestial Golden Boar said.

"Ludger is our same Level 99 Beast King and he is one of the talented Beasts. I also don't understand why Urs could tame Ludger, not even the lion heard the words of the Great Cat Clan Elder." Golden Dragon Sunfyre said.

"Sebastian, Luciana and Cyril where did you get that Beast King herd?" Reese asked.

Sebastian kneels. "We rented 7 Beast Kings from Grand Duke Lazarus Regulus for 7 billion gold coins for 2 weeks and promised to give 30% of the prize money if we entered the top 10."

"Empress Reese, Avalon's Rarity hired 3 Beast Kings from Duke Urs The North for 3 billion gold coins for 2 weeks and promised to give 10% from the prize money if we get in the top 10." Cyril showed me the debt agreement paper.

"The Empress Reese, the Eternal Frost Empire hired 4 Beast Kings from Urs' cousins for 4 billion gold coins over 2 weeks and promised to give 20% from the prize money if we get in the top 10." Luciana kneels.

Sebastian and the others took out their Beast King. Blizzard and the others immediately went towards Urs.

"Three-Headed Red Dragon Valent, Blue Soul Phoenix Luna, Azure Phoenix Blue Lily, Celestial Moonlight Snake Silver Flower, Moonlight Fenrir Silver Moon, Blue Lightning Hydra Laila, Winged-Three Headed Dark Sky Lion Three-Headed, Silver Dragon Soldrake, Fire Qilin Zhu, Blizzard Lion Blizzard, Six Winged Golden Dragon Evanthe, Six Winged Gold Dragon Ignite, Eight Winged Poison Black Snake Emperor Black Cloud and Agni?" Red Dragon Sunfyre asked.

"Cheat!!" Emperor Erland shouted.

"Urs, can you explain everything?"

"I just want to ask the Beast to be counted as a weapon and the Artifacts are not representative. Are there any rules in the Artemis Hunting Competition?" Lazarus asked.

"..."

Everyone is silent.

"Alright, I'll discuss this matter with Reese and the others." Lucia says.

A moment later everyone had discussed everything.

Everyone was waiting for the outcome of the discussion, whether the victory of the Moonlight Empire and the Eternal Frost Empire was legitimate or not.

"We've discussed it. The victory of Moonlight's Rarity, Eternal Frost Empire and Avalon Empire was legitimate. However, due to Grand Duke Lazarus Regulus for making Artemis hunting competition out of balance by renting out the Beast King to the Moonlight Empire, the Eternal Frost Empire and the Avalon Empire. Also look for loopholes in the rules of the Artemis Hunting Competition in search of personal gain. We will blacklist you and not enter the Artemis Hunting Competition for 7 times. You will pay a fine of 10 billion gold coins." Lucia says.

"We will revise the rules of the Artemis Hunting Competition and the high rank Beast will be counted as 1 representative. We will keep a tight eye on the upcoming Artemis Hunting Competition so that there will be no commotion like this." Reese says.

"I'm Frederick Griffin Gold Bank Leader and Mr. Galan Boreas added to the sentence of Grand Duke Lazarus Regulus. Grand Duke Lazarus Regulus has manipulated the outcome of gambling house bets managed by Black Market and Gold Bank. He's been moving behind the scenes and deciding the champions 1-10, so he and his group can guess the champions 1-10 exactly. We add the sentence of Grand Duke Lazarus Regulus to have to pay an additional fine of 10 billion gold coins deducted from his winnings." A man with long blue hair and green eyes said.

Everyone shouted to Lazarus, he deserved the punishment. But somehow they thought this punishment was too severe.

"Well, I admit to all my mistakes and as a man. I'll take all the punishment you've given." Lazarus kneeling.

"I thought you would defend yourself desperately with your cunning." Agathias smiles.

"I underestimated you guys too much because I thought my plan was ripe, but I've already gained a lot of advantage in the Artemis Hunt competition. I obtained 21.8 billion gold coins in gambling, 5 billion gold coins from the Avalon Empire, 37 billion gold coins from the Moonlight Empire, 22 billion gold coins from the Eternal Frost Empire. I earned 85.5 billion gold coins and deducted 28 Billion gold coins for Agni along with the others and 20 billion gold coins to pay the fine, meaning my net income is 37.8 billion gold. You know I can build 1 City in Zander territory with that kind of money." Lazarus smiled broadly.

Everyone widened their eyes, they were shocked by Lazarus' personal gain and everyone was speechless hearing the fantastic nominal for only 1 person.

"Miss Lucia, how much is 2 Black Dragon Orchid Herbs on the market?" Lazarus asked.

"750-2.2 billion gold coins." Lucia says.

Lucia widened her eyes and realized the meaning of Lazarus' words. They were all smart people and knew that Lazarus found great fortune while in the Forest of Artemis.

"Do you understand the meaning of the Hunting Competition held?" Lazarus asked.

"Hunting competitions are held to determine who the best hunters are." Albert Swallow said.

"You guys just think hunting is just the focus of hunting wild Beasts and taking their cores and materials. But you must know that in addition to being called the Goddess of Hunt, Artemis is the Goddess of the Wild Realm, the Goddess of the Beast Guard and the Goddess of Survival. In addition to hunting Beasts we can tame wild Beasts, search for rare herbs, search for herbs that are beneficial to human life, look for materials and most importantly survive in the wild." Lazarus says. "Survival is more important than wealth and honor."

Everyone fell silent at Lazarus' reply and could not deny it.

Lazarus bowed, then took out the Celestial Violet Mink Celestial. Iris, the Regulus Family and all the Nobles of the Lion Heart Empire went towards Lazarus. They had already received orders from Lazarus to rush back to the Lion Heart Empire.

The Celestials created a dimensional gap towards the Capital of Regulus.

"Black cat, what about our car?" Duke Elenio Aslan asked.

"Dad, shut up we must return to Lion Heart Empire as soon as possible. Agenor and the soldiers of the Albion Empire will take care of our carriage." Athan Aslan replied.

Agenor and Jean touch their Raegal Earring, then smile subtly.

Altair led all the noble families of the Lion Heart Empire, the Regulus Family and the Beasts into that dimensional gap. Only Lazarus and Iris remained there.

"See you." Iris and Lazarus bowed, then entered the dimensional gap.

"Wait, did Urs run away?"

"Bitch, surely he got something valuable in the Forest of Artemis!" Agathias yells.

"The cunning black cat." Laufey says.
