Book 7: Chapter 369: Danger Zone (2)

“What did he just say?”

“He’s got to be bluffing, there’s never been such an outrageous reward before. Even when the rewards are combined, one might get a few weeks, maybe a month or two of protection at most. Who’s ever heard of five years?!”

“That’s not even the most glaring point.” Someone else hopped in. “The size of Low Enigmatic City’s territory is massive. How could a territory reward be so large? Plus, isn’t the territory you chose only allowed to be unclaimed? Since when could you choose to take over an already claimed territory?! Plus, isn’t there supposed to be a minimum territory amount that each clan and sect is allowed?!”

“I’ve heard of taking claimed Danger Zones as a reward, but territory is a completely different matter entirely!” Someone else supplemented.

One had to know that while Danger Zones were the most coveted, territories outside them were decently valuable as well. They often had lower tier spiritual ingredients and minerals in high volumes. So, territories were incredibly important for foundations as well, making them far less volatile and fluid in their ownership in comparison to danger zones.

The murmurs of the crowd grew louder and more incredulous. They couldn’t believe what they were hearing, but they also didn’t believe Dyon was a fool who would simply spout nonsense.

The rewards given to those who completed their trials to a certain bar were well known by many particularly because of how high profile some of these undertakings were. For example, after Anak defeated the Celestial God Door Key Sentinel in just ten moves, he was given the right to claim 1 silver danger zone for his own.

One had to know that the Key Sentinel only appeared for Key Wielders, and only by defeating it to a certain standard would you be allowed to claim already owned danger zones. This was one of the advantages of being a key wielder and was also why Dyon’s sentinel was twice as tall as the ones his demon generals faced.

Malthor frowned. “What nonsense are you spouting?”

“Nonsense? Never that.” Dyon smiled lightly. “I’m allowed to claim 50 bronze danger zones, 10 silver danger zones, and 1 gold danger zone. I’m also allowed to claim 3% of the lower tier’s land for myself.

“My danger zones will be protected from reconquering for 6 months, and my territory will be protected for 5 years.

“So, I’ll ask you again. Will you walk out of here, or crawl out?”

Truth be told, Dyon didn’t care for these rewards at all. The so-called danger zones on this mere lower tier were nothing but a joke to him. They wouldn’t improve his strength at all.

This was the reason why there was no point in waiting until you grew more powerful before taking the celestial door test. No matter how hard you tried, the rewards you received would be restricted to the lower tier, so what was the point?

However, these resources were invaluable to his Demon Generals. As things stood now, aside from Damaris, all of his Demon Generals were mere lower celestials. Dyon had left them too far behind. If he wanted them to improve, they needed these training ground. So, he would provide them.

Plus, there was a reason there were more trials to the middle, higher, and peak tiers. Dyon had three more opportunities to reap these rewards!

Without waiting for Malthor to respond, Dyon’s key split from his forearm and swirled in the air. At that moment, the surrounding territory became awashed with light.

Malthor, who had a key of his own, suddenly felt like something was being stripped from him. All of the privileges he had in this territory disappeared. Even the suppression effects he was using to bully Ava and the rest so easily flipped, landing on his body instead.

“Originally, I wanted to carefully choose my danger zones. But, I guess your enigmatic sect wouldn’t have chosen too badly, right?”

“You!” The rage Malthor had been holding in suddenly couldn’t be held in anymore. But, just as he was about to attack, a very familiar scene replayed itself.

Dyon remembered when he first exited his trials, the first person he went to see was Ri. Back then, Aki decided that it was the perfect time to harass his wife and charged after Dyon. However, Aki acted very foolishly back then. Due to his misjudgment, his attack landed on the tower’s teleportation formation after Dyon and Ri had already disappeared. As a result, the tower registered this attack as an act on itself and retaliated violently.

Those videos of Aki being sent flying and Dyon’s voice calling him a dumbass were still circulating to this day.

Of course, Dyon didn’t want to draw too many connections between him and the masked wife stealer, so he didn’t repeat what he said back then as Malthor was sent flying. But, he couldn’t help but smirk.

“Seems you want to crawl out.”

The crowd watched in shock. Malthor was a godly figure in their eyes, after all, just how many Gods could there be?! He was only a notch below True Gods and False True Gods! Yet, he had been toyed with so thoroughly!

At that moment, they began to believe Dyon’s words. But, there was something even more important to be discussed…. Just how overwhelming were Dyon’s results for him to receive such a reward?!

To put matters into perspective, not even five minutes had passed since Dyon walked by Aritzia and entered the celestial floors. Those here simply hadn’t had the time to see the news yet!

Without fail, each and everyone began pulling out their array tablets. They needed to know… Just what had he done?!
