LAZARUS REGULUS
Chaptre 54. Meeting Amara.
Lazarus' group killed all Dog Hunters. The bodies of the Dog Hunters were scattered around Lazarus. Although, this alley is in the Capital Zander area, but the atmosphere looks quiet. Perhaps, everyone did not dare to approach this place because they knew this place was a Dog Hunter's lair.
Lazarus put all his Contract Beasts in Draupnir's ring. However, Crimson remained wrapped around Lazarus' body even though he was already nearly 1.5 meters long.
"Crimson, do you love me?" Lazarus asked.
Crimson nodded as if understanding what Lazarus had said. As an infant of the Crimson high rank Beast had intelligence like a three year old human baby.
"Alright, I'll take you to play after all my business is done." Lazarus rubbed the head of the Crimson, then inserted it into the Draupnir Ring.
"Sir, do we have to clean all these bodies?" Bleddyn who was still covered in blood asked.
"Bleddyn, leave their bodies! Soon the guards and other Dog Hunters will find out!"
"Brother, you are so smart! I think the other Dog Hunters will think that they died fighting with the rest of the Dog Hunters. Although, Dog Hunter rarely fought with other Dog Hunter, but many cases of Dog Hunter groups looting other Dog Hunter groups."
The Dog Hunters who knew about this massacre would become extremely cautious of the other Dog Hunters. As a result, their relationship will crack from within they will be suspicious of each other and with a little spark will be able to trigger bloodshed.
The Lazarus group cleaned up all the blood in their clothes, then left the Dog Hunter's corpses scattered about.
"Brother Tyron, I want to buy that Barrier Rank Unique Artifact. How much do I have to pay?" Lazarus asked.
Elder Tyron, gave his Barrier Artifact to Lazarus. "Brother, you don't have to pay. This artifact can be used 5 more times." Tyron smiled.
"Thank you, brother."
The Lazarus group again searched for the whereabouts of Alyssa and the others. The place they were going to was the Black Rose Casino branch of the Pendragon Kingdom.
...****************...
*Casino Black Rose branch of the Lion Heart Empire.
Alyssa and Amarylis were sitting at the gambling table. While Charlotte and the others were enjoying the food and Wine beside them.
A female Demon Succubus-type who became a dealer shuffled the dice.
"Miss, Big/Small?" The Succubus woman smiled.
"Big!" Amarilis and Alyssa put up 10,000 gold coins each.
When, the dice cover in the open appears the number 3,4 and 2 in total 9 the result is small. The numbers 3-10 mean small and the numbers 11-18 mean big.
"Miss, you lost. Do you want to play again?" The beautiful Succubus dealer asked.
"Amarilis, you both have lost almost 100 times and won only 20 games! You've already spent 1.6 million gold coins on gambling!" Charlotte screaming.
"Miss Charlotte, I agree with you! Although, the money was a gift of Lord Urs, but 1 million Gold Coins was the tax income of a Moderate Territory for 1 year!" Diana added.
Eleanor, Cathrine and Freya nodded.
Hearing about Urs, Alyssa and Amarylis turned pale. They do not knowingly spend so much money on gambling. Although, the money in Lazarus storage bag still remains a lot, but they feel guilty to Lazarus for wasting his money.
"Freya, help me explain to Urs! I beg!" Alyssa touched Freya's hand.
"Alyssa, just this time I disagree with what you're doing. I'm not gonna help you! A lot of people are starving. However, you two wasted a lot of money just to gamble!" Freya said coldly.
"Master Urs, very rich Nyaww. Did he plunder his dragon nestww. Even father is not as rich as Mr. Urs." Inner Cathrine.
Lazarus saw Alyssa and the others were on the first floor of the Black Rose Casino he immediately approached them.
Seeing the arrival of Lazarus Alyssa and Amarylis trembled with fear. They, do not want Lazarus to know that they have used a lot of money Lazarus to play gambling.
"Are you guys having fun?"
"..."
The mood became quiet. They did not answer Lazarus' question. Sensing, something went wrong Elder Tyron asked. "What's been going on? Do you lose when you gamble? How much did you lose was 1000 Gold Coins? Hohoho. This is a lesson to never gamble."
"Urs, I'm sorry and Alyssa for spending so much of your money." Amarylis said while looking down.
"Hohohoo. Young women everyone must have made mistakes. I'll replace the money you guys spent on gambling." Elder Tyron took out 100 Gold Coins from his storage Artifacts.
Alyssa and Amarilis refused. Feeling, there was something strange Elder Tyron asked, "How much total defeat did you two have?"
"Elder Tyron, the total defeat of the two of them was 1.6 million Gold Coins." Diana says.
"Whataaaaa!"
Elder Tyron shouted very loudly while holding his chest. He had never heard of such a defeat. Elder Tyron fell to the ground, even in his storage Artifacts there were only 100,000 Gold Coins the result of selling Legendary Rank Artifacts to Lazarus.
Bleddyn immediately helped Elder Tyron to his feet. He was also still shocked by the total defeat of Alyssa and Amarilis.
"Womanie! If a rich man marries you, they will fall into poverty in one night!" Tyron pointed towards Amarilis and Alyssa.
"I'm sorry!" Alyssa and Amarylis bowed.
"Although, Urs still had many precious herbs and treasures from the Dragon's lair. However, 1.6 million Gold Coins was an amount that was not small." Inner Alyssa.
"I forgive him. But you have to promise me one thing."
"What's? We'll promise you!"
"Stop gambling from now on! Especially you Amaryllis." Lazarus says.
"Alright, our Urs will stop to gamble!"
Lazarus took out the storage pouch that was in Alyssa's hands, then went towards the Dealer.
"Miss, call your chief. I'll bet a very large amount. I'm afraid you'll get killed after losing this bet." Lazarus says.
"All right, sir." The succubus smiled
"Human, that's very arrogant! You know that in the branch chairman's room there are three other branch leaders gathering! Just wait if you lose and fall poor I will suck the aura of your life to dry." Inner Succubus.
"Haha. Amara, the Avalon Kingdom branch of Black Rose Casino has a profit of 90 Million Gold Coins this year." A burly Demon with large red colored horns coiled like sheep horns on his head and long red colored hair laughed.
"Sullivan, you used Succubus' enchantment magic to gain that much advantage. The Black Rose Casino of the Albion Empire branch profited 50 Million Gold Coins this year." A short silver-haired man with Iris blue eyes like the Beast's eyes said.
The man was a Dark Beastman Werewolf Noble despite looking like a human. However, he can change shape into a Humanoid Wolf, he will be stronger especially during the night and the full moon.
"Lycan, you look too stiff. The Avalon Empire's Black Rose casino only earned 9 Million Gold Coins this year." A Demon with long black hair and black-colored horns said.
"Karl, you get the smallest income. The Black Rose Casino branch of the Lion Heart Empire earned 60 Million Gold Coins this year." Amara says.
"Haha. Karl you must return to the Southern Continent for not reaching the target of 10 million Gold Coins. I'm sure your grandfather will be very disappointed."
Karl stood up and touched Sullivan's neck with his long fingernails. "Sullivan, did you forget about my power! Stop talking or your head will fall to the floor."
"Hahaha, Karl I'm so scared!" Sullivan tried to provoke Karl.
"Tokay! Geck! Geck!"
Someone knocked on the door. The servants opened the door.
"Harlequin, what happened? Did you make a lot of money today?"
"Master, I earned 1.8 million gold Coins today. However, a human there wanted to bet a very large amount he said that master should watch over him." Harlequin.
"Harlequin Good job! Who is human, who is so arrogant! I want to know how much the bet is for him." Sullivan said with an angry expression.
"We'll be witnesses."
Sullivan and the others go to the Casino room to see a human being so bold as to challenge Sullivan.
The Lazarus group waited for the Dealer and the chairman of the Black Rose Casino, then he saw the Dealer along with four people coming down the stairs.
Lazarus knew the golden-haired girl, the girl was Amara Aurelia Golden Moon. Clare's younger brother and Lazarus' childhood friend were slaves to a Baron.
Alyssa and Diana glanced at Amara with hostile gazes. In the past Amara often clashed with the Golden Lion Party.
"Alyssa and Diana haven't seen you in a long time, you're looking more and more beautiful." Amara smiles.
"Mara, you look the same. Do you still have a venomous mouth?"
"Sufuku. Alyssa, your nature never changes."
Everyone sits around the dealer table. All the gamblers there approached the Lazarus table to see the beautiful Amara. In fact, her beauty could rival that of Saint Iris and Princess Helene Zephyra.
"I, will risk all the money that is in my storage Artifacts."
"Enter, your storage bag into the Money counter artifact. I swear on behalf of Goddess Nyx will not commit fraud."
"Haha. Stupid, I'm not the Dealer, but Harlequin should be the one who swears. Harlequin's Unique Skill can control the mind even if only a little. A person who has not broken through the Legendary realm will be easily tempted." - Sullivan.
"I also swear on behalf of Goddess Elektra that I will not cheat!" Lazarus put the money in the money counter artifact.
The money-counting artifact counted the amount of money in the Lazarus Storage Artifacts.1 million, 2 million and counting, then stopped at 110 million gold coins.
Everyone was shocked to see the amount of money that was inside the Lazarus Storage Artifact. Harlequin widened his eyes and licked his lips, thinking Lazarus was like a cattle ready to be cut.
"Ehem! master what game are you asking for?" Sullivan said more politely. He must investigate Lazarus' background.
"Take the dice!"
"Alright, Harlequin shakes his chest."
"Good sir."
Harlequin shuffled his chest with a seductive appearance. He silently used his Skill towards Lazarus. A Soul Of Controller Rank B Skill was a unique Skill to control one's soul for a moment. Although, it sounded weak, but in gambling this Skill was an extremely powerful Skill as it could not be detected by someone below the Legendary realm.
"Master, that Succubus used a charm Skill. And the Soul Skill. He didn't know Master's soul was so powerful for having contracted 3 high rank Beasts." Asterion says.
"Human, accept your defeat! Pick small and end all this." inner Harlequin.
"Sir, please choose Big/Small."
Everyone is silent. They, want to know how the outcome of this gambling. In fact, the crowd is getting more and more.
"I, will choose Great!" Lazarus smiled as he glanced at Harlequin.
Lazarus chose the big. Harlequin's face was sweating, his body trembling, as if a Death God scythe was on his neck.
"Did my unique skill not work? This man is just someone who has yet to break through the realm of Experts."
"Open the Chest!" Everyone cheered.
"Haha. Harlequin quickly open the chest." Sullivan laughed as if victory had been confirmed.
"Master! are you sure you chose big? I think the chest is small." Harlequin tries to tease Lazarus with a charm Skill while revealing his large cleavage.
"Demon, stop messing around and open the chest!" Freya said coldly.
"What should I do? Mr. Sullivan is going to kill me!"
"Master, think back I'm afraid your guess was wrong. Don't let you regret your decision.." Harlequin teases Lazarus again.
Knowing something was odd Sullivan shouted, "Harlequin quickly open his chest!"
Harlequin with a pale face slowly opened his chest. Harlequin's green eyes look empty even his Olive green hair looks lost its luster.
Suddenly everyone was silent to see the results. The result of the three dice is 5, 6 and 4 in total is the top 15.
Sullivan and the three heads of the Black Rose Casino branch did not believe what was happening.
"Mr Urs, win herww." Anya shouted to melt the silence.
*112 Million The man won 112 Million Gold Coins.
God Gambling! Had He Urs The North of the Lion Heart Empire I had heard that he obtained consecutive valuables in the sedimentary stone gambling. I originally thought it was all a lie*.
The Black Rose Casino is becoming increasingly noisy. They, already heard the rumors about Urs The North. At first they didn't believe it, but now they do.
"Man! You cheated!" Sullivan strengthened the aura of the Legendary realm and hit the gambling table until it shattered.
Sensing Sullivan's aura everyone went on the run. If they stay here they will die.
"Sir, am I cheating? I've sworn and the four of you are here." Diana and the others went to the Lazarus side they were ready to fight.
Amara watched Urs. The face of Urs is very similar to Lazarus, but their attitude is much different. He felt his heart beating fast.
"What happened why is my blood boiling!? Is he Lazarus? Nah! Lazarus isn't as smart as the man," inwardly Amara.
"Man, die!" Sullivan charged towards Lazarus.
Lycan's blocking Sullivan's attack.
"Lycan, are you helping that human?"
"Sullivan, if you make a mess in the Western Continent! You will be punished heavily by the Demon King!" Lycan.
"Keep away." Sullivan threw Lycan.
"Haha. If I kill him! I can have 112 million Gold Coins. The woman he was with was also very beautiful." Sullivan's inner.
Lycan's body slowly changed shape into a Wolf Humanoid with silvery-colored fur. Lycan is twice as tall as humans.
"Auuu"
"Sullivan, do you want to fight to the death?" Lycan asked.
"Hahaha, just calm down! When I kill this man! I will return to the Southern Continent to receive punishment. Lycan I'm stronger than you." Sullivan laughed, revealing a mouth full of sharp, pointed fang-shaped teeth.
"Swooossh" Karl quickly charged towards Lycan's chest.
A gaping hole was seen around Sullivan's chest. He looked towards his chest with a very surprised expression. While Karl casually grasped Sullivan's heart until it was destroyed.
"Still, there are six more hearts left" Karl said.
"Karl, you bastard!" Sullivan growled and charged towards Karl.
Karl remained calm and dodged all of Sullivan's angry attacks easily. He already knew the direction of Sullivan's attack.
Karl advanced to Sullivan's front, then strangled Sullivan's neck. "Sullivan remember your place. Although, we are both Demon Rank 9. However, my strength is dozens of times stronger than yours."
Sullivan tried to let go of Karl's strangulation. However, he could not let go of his strangulation.
"Master!" All the Demon workers of the Black Rose Casino try to help Sullivan because of the bondage seal.
"Sufuku. You guys should stay here." Amara chuckled and used her Skill a rope made of blood to tie them all together.
"Man, forgive us for being rude. We'll pay for all your losses." Karl said while giving Sullivan's storage bag to Lazarus.
"There are another 22 million Gold Coins you can bring all of Demon Slave Sullivan. The Moonlight Empire will punish Sullivan severely." Lycan said politely.
"Thank you, Mrs Amara Golden Moon, Mr. Lycan The Moonlight and Mr. Karl Dantalion The Watcher Of Darkness"
"How do you know our names? Are you from the Southern Continent of Moonlight?" Karl and the others asked.
"My name is Urs The North, I travel all over the world." Lazarus smiled.
"Fufufu, interesting man."
The Lazarus group bade farewell to all the heads of the Lion Heart Empire branch while bringing all the Demon slaves belonging to Sullivan. Charles, who was there, helped Lazarus to transfer the slave contract.
"Alyssa, she's someone I told you about." Karl says.
"Fufufu, Karl you're very cunning. Send this fool to the Moonlight Empire he has no idea that we are also in the business of Restaurants, Auctions, and Slave Sales. Karl although your casino only got 9 Million Gold Coins, but your other business generated revenue of over 250 Million Gold Coins." Alyssa chuckles.
"Hahaha, look at this stupid bastard who is only focused on the Casino. He eventually fell underground. Total of all Karl's income 259 Million Gold Coins, Amara's income 120 Million Gold Coins and My Revenue 119 Million Gold Coins. You have no gain this year but a loss." Lycan scoffs at Sullivan.
Karl let go of the strangulation.
"Uhuk! Uhuk! Uhuk!"
"Don't be stupid. If you try to fight or flee the three of us will tear you apart." Karl and the others gave off a terrifying aura.
"All right, I'll take my punishment."
Losing one heart was also a huge loss for Sullivan.
"Man, I'll remember your name!" inner Sullivan.
