The Artemis Hunting Competition had already passed 5 hours. Lazarus and his group gained many advantages especially the Legendary Rebirth Fire Dragon Tree Rank and 1 piece Rebirth Fire Dragon Fruit.
"I will give this fruit to Ignis." Lazarus says.
"Urs, that fruit is perfect for a Red Dragon. Rebirth Fire Dragon Fruit cannot be directly eaten by humans and must be processed into Potions, Elixirs and Pill. But if Red Dragon Ignis ate it directly, the fruit's effect would be 10 times stronger. As the name suggests Rebirth Fire Dragon Fruit can make Ignis' scales stronger and Ignis' fire element quality better." Altair smile.
"What about the price?" Lazarus asked.
"Urs, you mustn't think about the price because without you and Lime, we can't take the tree and the fruit." Amelia patted Lazarus on the back.
Lazarus gives Ignis the Rebirth Fire Dragon Fruit, and Ignis' body absorbs the fruit. He felt the flow of his mana spread out profusely throughout his body.
"Master, I feel like my scales are coming off." Ignis says.
"Ignis, control which energy flow is yours. The process will be a little painful." Lazarus says.
"All right." Ignis answered.
15 Minutes later, 1 by 1, Ignis's scales begin to fall off, then are replaced by more powerful and beautiful red scales. Rhea and Annora help Ignis to release the remaining scales, then Ignis wiggles his body to release the old scales.
"Master, I feel my body is full of energy." Ignis smiled.
"Ignis, get your head close to me." Lazarus says.
Ignis brought his head closer to Lazarus, then Lazarus took the old scales left on Ignis's face. Everyone only saw it because they had never seen such an arrogant and arrogant Red Dragon that was as arrogant as it was to humans.
"Master, do I look handsome?"
"Haha. After you change scales, you look very handsome and your scales are precious materials. Rebirth Fire Dragon Fruit as the name suggests, you look like you are reborn." Lazarus hugged Ignis' head.
Asterion looked at Ignis with a look of jealousy, he was envious because Lazarus was spoiling Ignis.
"Asterion, are you jealous?"
"No." Asterion turned his face away.
"I'll give you some Core Legendary Beast element fire after the Artemis Hunting Competition is over." Lazarus smiled.
"really?" Asterion looked at Lazarus with sparkling eyes.
****************
The Lazarus group counted the materials, herbs and Beast cores they could around this region.
"30 Demon Beasts and 10 Grand Demon Beasts. We've already collected 40 Beast Cores that are worth 13 thousand points." Cleon says.
"10 kg Orichalcum Rank Unique, half kg Gold, 3 kg Silver and 1 kg Adamantine Rank Legendary. Lime who found it, she actually found 2 kg of Adamantine Rank Epic and ate it." Lazarus says.
"I, Rainbow, Emerald, Ren, Andara and Fiona discovered many rare herbs. 7 Blue Cat Tail Grass Rank Unique, 9 Gold Patterned Purple Orchid Rank Epic, 90 Blue Bird Orchid Rank Elite, 60 Golden Tiger Flower Rank Elite, 8 Red Snake Flower Rank Elite, 90 Blue Bird Orchid Rank Elite, 30 Blood Hibiscus Rank Epic, 50 Yellow Light Hibiscus Rank Epic, 30 Blue Ashoka Flower Rank Unique, 2 Poison Dragon Orchid Flower Rank Epic, 2 Dragon Ginseng Rank Legendary 10,000 years old, 2 Poison Dragon Orchid Flower Rank Epic, 3 Bloody Genoderma and the luckiest we found 3 Moonlight Blue Orchid Rank Mythical that grew up with Blue Bird Orchid Rank Elite." Helene smiled sweetly.
Altair and everyone were shocked because Helene discovered many herbs. However they did not believe that Helene found Epic, Legendary and Mythical rank herbs in the region of the Artemis Forest. 1 Kg Adamantine and Rebirth Fire Dragon Tree Rank Legendary had also been a blessing to them.
"Mia-www."
Everyone looked towards Haru, then remembered the moment Lazarus said the word Lucky Cat. They then looked at their lucky stats, it turned out that all of their lucky stats were +1.
"Urs, does Haru have any skills to increase luck?" Helene asked.
"Haru has Lucky Cat Skill and Unlucky Cat Rank SS. he can only raise +1 luck to 10 people. The skill lasted for 3 days and 1 day cooldown." Lazarus answered.
Everyone widened their eyes, wasn't a skill that increased luck extremely rare. They do not believe the black-haired Nekomata cat that symbolizes misfortune has a lucky skill.
Haru leaped onto Golden Fang's head, then Haru and all the Beasts who were there stared towards the river.
"Master danger!" Black Fang shouted.
"Everyone is ready to fight!" Lazarus shouting.
The head of a Legendary Beast Poison Black Phyton came out from within the river. Edgard, Athan and Cleon immediately attacked him using their Skill and the snake's head was already decapitated. But his body was still moving towards the ground.
"My friend, why are you attacking me?" Winter said as he ascended to the mainland, biting the body of the Black Phyton Poison.
Winter, Kai, Golden Sun and Albion are out of the river. They had already gone to the waterfall in the central region and found the Legendary Moss Rank Water Dragon, the 30 Mythical Water Dragon Flower Rank, the Legendary 20 Water Dragon Fruit Rank, 30 Water Dragon Fruit Mythical Rank and 4 Water Dragon Fruit Rank Void.
Albion has a swollen mouth, it's like she's keeping something in her mouth. The storage artifact Lazarus gave Kai was damaged during the fight, so he had to carry all the herbs in his mouth.
"Snake Phyton bastard! You pounced on me when I wasn't ready!" Kai stared intently at the severed head of Phyton's snake corpse.
Albion spewed out all the herbs from his mouth, Altair and the others stared blankly at Albion, Winter, Golden Sun and Kai. They did not believe that they managed to obtain many valuable herbs.
"Helene, Amelia and the others quickly took care of all those high rank herbs!" Altair shouting.
"As your orders!" Everyone answered.
"Winter, what happened why are you guys so long?" Lazarus asked.
"Master, we must pass through the Magical Beast Swordtooth Fish realm. Although they are weak, but they are in groups and they can jump very far. Above the sky were countless lairs of Demon Beast Fire Bee, so Junior Golden Sun could not fly. We searched for the cave you said and found 4 waterfalls, but there was no cave behind it. At the last waterfall, I felt the mana behind a big rock and we knew the cave was behind it. We needed a little more time to smash the boulder and find the 100-meter-high Water Dragon Tree. We took all the fruits, flowers and some young moss that were there because Water Dragon Moss could only be used when ripe for 100 years we only got a little Water Dragon Moss. At the time of exit we closed it back with the ruins of the large rocks, we were afraid that the place would be entered by wild Beasts and known by the humanoid race." Kai explained.
"Altair, reward them with 4 Mythical Water Dragon Fruit Rank and 1 Mythical Water Dragon Flower Rank respectively. The four of them deserve it as payment." Lazarus says.
Albion and the others were shocked when Lazarus said he would give 16 Water Dragon Fruit and 4 Water Dragon Flower Rank Mythical.
"Master, you've already given us a lot of Beast Core. We can't accept it and it's our job to help you." White Crocodile Ice Dragon Albion said.
"Master, I don't need it because I don't have the water and ice elements." Kai said.
"All right." Everyone smiled and obeyed Lazarus.
Celestial put all those herbs into his storage Artifacts, he would store those herbs for Winter and the others.
"My friend, I need it. However, we were not hurt in the least while searching for the herbs. I only need 1 Water Dragon Fruit Rank Mythical herb." Winter says.
"I decide it and if you reject it. I'll give it to Blizzard and all the Beast elements of water and ice in the Emerald Forest." Lazarus says.
"Master, you can't give it to that cunning old lion!" Albion screaming.
"All right, we'll take it." Golden Sun replied.
Lazarus stepped towards Kai, then stroked his head. "Kai, you should find a partner. You can go to the Black Market with Ignis, Agni and Magna, then exchange them for the lightning element herbs, space element and Mythical Beast Core. Moonlight Lily seems to love you, having a family and having children is so much fun."
"Master, why are you so good? You are being very kind to me who is very weak, I cannot protect Darkness and I am weaker than Albion and the others. Celestial s.p.a.ce skill, even better than me. I don't deserve too much affection from you." Kai shed tears as his tongue branched out and went in.
"Haha. Kai, I love you all. I love you, Aiden, Silver Lily, Blizzard, Nash, Jin, Gin, Alvar, Fiona and the others like my own son." Lazarus hugged the snake's head with the violet's scales.
"Master!" Silver Soul East Dragon Silver Lily flew towards Lazarus. Beast Long with a pair of silver bat wings brought his head closer to Lazarus' shoulder.
Lazarus took out Aiden, Agarwood and the Deer that were in the Beast Storage Bracelet Artifact. They were arrogant and arrogant high rank Beasts, but they recognized Lazarus as their master.
"Master, do you think of us as family?" Six Winged Frost Light Tiger Female Charesa asked.
"Master, I've never seen my own mother. Unlike the other Beasts, the Pegasus Beast, Winged Unicorn and Unicorn live in groups." Six-Winged Light Unicorn Agarwood said.
"Agarwood, do you trust me now?" Lazarus asked.
"I trust you and you can now ride on my back. I have the blood of Sleipnir and I am the fastest Beast in flight. I can also purify all kinds of poisons." Agarwood says.
Lazarus stepped towards Agarwood, then made a contract with him. Agarwood had not initially trusted Lazarus and had only formed a temporary contract. He did not trust the humanoid race because the memories of his race were hunted for his horns and enslaved into mounts.
All the Beast Lazarus swarmed Lazarus, the scene looked extremely beautiful where many high rank Beasts of various types surrounded Lazarus. They did not show any hostility to Lazarus and regarded him as his brother, family, master and father.
"Altair, is he the Lazarus we know?" Amelia asked.
"The nature of Lazarus has not changed and Lazarus is Lazarus." Altair answered.
Lazarus looked towards Silver Lily. "Silver Lily, where are you going?"
"Master, you and I went to the depths of the Forest and watched the situation. Me and Andara are both incognito experts and I see many groups of humanoid races fighting each other." Silver Lily said.
"Did you see the armor worn by the fighting group?" Lazarus asked.
"They wore silver armor with the emblem of a white tiger and a silver fox, the group of people who attacked him using the armor of the emblem of the black wolf and the black eagle were mostly of the Demon race." Green Dragon Andara replied.
"The Alliance of the Albion Empire and the Silver Deer Empire were attacked by the Nebula Empire and the Darkness Eagle Empire." Cleon says.
"Ludger, Winter, Golden Sun, Albion and Kai you have to take care of Helene and the others." Lazarus gritted his teeth and jumped on Ignis' back.
"As your orders." Everyone answered.
****************
The trees were uprooted as a result of the battle of Agenor's group and representatives of the Nebula Kingdom and Darkness Eagle. There were 15 bodies of Agenor group members scattered, while Agenor tried to stand with a body full of wounds.
"Kukkoy. Emperor Agenor, why don't you give up and let us kill you?" A man of the demon race had long purple hair and green eyes, with 4 horns laughing out loud. The man was the Eighth Prince of the Nebula Kingdom Shion Nebula.
"Emperor Agenor, I will hold them back from buying time. You and Jean must immediately escape from this place!" A long emerald green haired beautiful girl with greenish blue eyes shouted. She was the second Princess of the Silver Deer Empire Erica Silver Deer.
"Dad, you have to escape from this place. Erica and I will fight for time" A beautiful girl with long blue hair and red eyes said, she is Jean Albion the eldest daughter of the Albion Empire.
The alliance of the representatives of the Nebula Empire and the Darkness Eagle Empire attacked them after the Alliance of the representatives of the Albion Empire and the Silver Deer were exhausted against the 3 Legendary Beasts.
"Jean and Erica, I'm gonna hold those 17 bastards. I have wounds worse than yours and after my death tell Chiron to become the next Emperor of the Albion Empire." Agenor says.
"Flying Knife Dance Art!" A woman of the Red-eyed and green-haired Demon race was tied up like a scorpion tail using her Skill.
Dozens of throwing knives shot towards Agenor, Erica and Jean. The blade was extremely fast as it was reinforced with wind element.
"Hurry up!" Agenor screaming.
Agenor turned his silver spear Artifacts to hold all the flying blades, but there were still many flying blades hitting Agenor's thighs, shoulders, chest and abdomen. As well as Jean and Erica's body parts, they were pierced by many flying knives.
"Fuck, the Gods will curse you and give you a painful death!" Agenor screaming.
Jean pulls Erica by the hand, then flees with all her strength. Although their bodies were already severely injured and continued to bleed, they tried to escape. Tears came out of Jean's eyes, knowing that her father had sacrificed himself to save them.
"If I and Raimon had not forced their way in. Surely this tragedy won't happen because Duke Miles and the other dukes are coming along, so we have the power to resist" Jean said.
"Kukkoy. Pursue the two women, hunting humans is fun." Shion.
The 5 representatives of the Nebula Kingdom ran towards Agenor, but Agenor managed to hold 3 people of Legendary realm.
"Haha. Look at this bastard, he still has the power to fight back." A short red-haired Demon and purple eyes laughed out loud.
"I want to taste the flesh of an Emperor of the human race." A female of the Dark Beastman Leopard race pounced on Agenor with bloodthirsty eyes.
"Swoooss."
A green-colored spear shot towards the female of the Dark Beastman Leopard race and precisely hit the woman's head. The Dark Beastman Leopard race was thrown, then stuck in a tree with its eyes open and tongue out.
"Haha. I managed to avenge my best friend's death." A man with long brown hair and blue eyes laughed out loud with blood spewing, it was seen that he had already lost 1 leg and was leaning against a tree.
"Fuck!" Shion and the others shouted, then attacked Agenor and Raimond.
Athan who was on Blue Rose's back shot 10 arrows towards Shion's group. 10 arrows shot towards Shion's group, but Shion and his group managed to hold back and avoid it.
"Agenor, you're in a miserable state." Lazarus says.
Agenor heard a familiar voice, then he laughed. "Haha. Black cat, it looks like it's Jean and Erica's destiny to meet you on the run."
Lazarus dragged the 2 corpses of the representatives of the Nebula Kingdom, behind which were seen dozens of high rank Beasts.
Shion, the alliance of the representatives of the Nebula Kingdom and the Darkness Eagle Empire trembled in fear upon seeing the Lazarus group alongside dozens of high rank Beasts.
Lazarus walked to Agenor's side while giving off a huge bloodthirsty aura. He turned his head towards Agenor and a lucky wound could still be healed. If Lazarus is late, Agenor may die at this time.
"Urs, we'll get out of here. We have no problem with you and the Lion Heart Empire." Shion said with a sweaty face. He threw the storage Artifact that contained the 5 Legendary Beast Core and several other Beast Core to Lazarus.
Altair, Alastair, Amelia and Ares took out their Artifacts and got ready to fight. Lazarus took out Regalia Schyte, the black scythe made Shion and the others feel a sense of horror.
"Well, we'll fight to the death!" Shion used his Skill to create many purple-colored lightning to attack the Lazarus group.
"They attacked us first!" Lazarus shouting.
Lazarus had vowed not to attack any other group unless they attacked first. They wait for the opponent to attack first.
"Kill them all and give them a very painful death!" Altair shouting.
15 Minutes later Lazarus carries Shion's head, then throws Shion's head towards Agenor. There was a lot of blood on the black armour of Lazarus and the bloody Regalia sickle.
Jean, Raimond and Erica who saw him felt fear. The representatives of the Lion Heart Empire had the power to become the top 30, even the top 10 in the Hunting Artemis competition. However they did not know why the Lion Heart Empire was not eyeing victory.
"Has anyone fallen on our side?" Lazarus asked.
"Urs, these bastards are so weak. There were no casualties on our side, but Winter suffered a slight injury while fighting." Edgard answered.
"Athan, how is Agenor's condition, Princess Jean and Princess Erica?" Altair asked.
"Emperor Altair, they were seriously injured. However, I have already given Healing Potion Rank Legendary, Mana Potion Rank Legendary, Blood Increasing Potion Rank Legendary and 5 bottles of Antidote Potion Rank Epic to them. I can't pull out the poisonous needles and throwing knives that stick in their bodies." Athan answered.
"Urs and Helene are going to treat both of them and Amelia what about Raimond's condition?" Altair asked.
Amelia shook her head lightly. The potion he gave was already of no effect to Raimon, which meant that Raimon would soon die even the Eternal Blue Lily Rank Void could not save Raimon.
"Raimon." Agenor wanted to walk towards Raimon, but he fell. Lazarus immediately helped him to stand up, then carried Agenor on his back.
"Raimon, I'm sorry I couldn't protect you." Agenor was crying.
Lazarus touched Raimon's hand. "Raimon you will soon die, pray to the God you believe in."
"May the Goddess of Light Electra bless the Albion Empire..." Raimon slowly closed his eyes with a gentle smile on his lips.
Duke Miles' third son died in Artemis Forest. Even though he was dead, but he died honorably as a Knight protecting his Master.
"May the light of the Goddess Electra lead you to the Garden of Eden." Lazarus praying.
"Raimon, I'm sorry!" Agenor cried and so did Erika and Jean. They entered the 18-member Forest of Artemis, but now only 3 people remain.
"Alastair, put all the corpses of representatives of the Albion Empire and the Silver Deer Empire into the coffin Artifacts. Ares, Athan and Edgard will collect loot from the corpses of representatives of the Darkness Eagle Empire and the Nebula Kingdom." Altair says.
"All right." Everyone answered.
Lazarus carried Agenor, Jean and Erica to the Blue Rose's back, then they flew back to the region beside the river. Where Helene and Cleon are waiting.
Helene and Cleon with red cheeks formed a hand waiting for Lazarus and the others to return. They had already received a message from Lazarus using Raegal Earring that almost all of the representatives of the Albion Empire and Silver Deer were killed in battle. Emperor Agenor Albion, Princess Jean Albion and Erica Silver Deer survived, despite severe injuries.
Lazarus and Amelia land in front of Helene.
"Helene quickly help me!" Lazarus shouting.
"All right!" Helene answered.
The sun was setting, Altair and everyone were back. But the screams still sounded loud.
Lazarus and Helene bandaged Jean's body using bandages after they smeared all of her wounds with an ointment made from Water Dragon Moss. It was a miracle the three of them could live with such severe injuries.
"Grand Duke, you can pull it out!" Erica yells.
Lazarus pulled out the throwing knife that was on Erica's thigh, while he held back his shout by biting a cloth. Helene immediately applied the ointment, then bandaged Erica's wounds.
"Urs, did you bring clothes?" Helene asked.
"I brought clothes made of Black Bear leather." Lazarus took out the Black Bear leather suit, and Helene immediately dressed it to the unconscious Agenor.
"These clothes are second-hand clothes and they're bigger than you guys." Lazarus says.
"We're fine." Erica and Jean said, then took off the blanket that covered her body.
"Wait, you should have told me when you wanted to change clothes." Lazarus said, closing his eyes with both hands.
"You've seen it all and why should we be ashamed?" Jean asked.
"At that time you're in a state of emergency and I'll stay away from here. You need to rest and Helene take care of the three of them." Lazarus said, then went to the place of Altair and the others.
"..."
