Chapter 152 - The Myriad Pocket World Treasure
As for Rodrig, he knew better, so he never thought of even speaking a single word to his very angered master, not now, not at this moment.
"The White Lotus clan, summoned here at once, we have a war to fight!"
Arthur just glanced at the bottom, to find around five hundred mages making their way up to the top along the stairs. They were mostly young ages, like Rodrig here, or slightly younger. He saw very few middle aged mages there, not numbering more than twenty, coming up as well.
'It seems you take this challenge pretty seriously,' Arthur just smiled, thought to himself, without finding any problem in fighting more tigers.
As for Rayan, he was feeling doubtful, very doubtful towards what was going on right now. He never imagined the events that happened down there, or even imagined Arthur to not feel frightened by all these developments.
"Who are you going to call?" Tenshi asked again, as he thought this kid got scared from all these mages coming to face him. Arthur glanced at him as he smiled, in strange calm, as he replied:
"None, I alone is more than enough."
His voice wasn't loud, but everyone heard him perfectly clear. Tenshi's heart had some bad premonition, as the kid in front of him either to be a very dumb, or had a suicidal wish!
Unfortunately, Tenshi was sure Arthur was neither of the two, so he was only confident in his ability to defeat all this huge number of mages, mages from such a strong and decent clan, known for generations old to be recalled.
Tenshi then recalled the two messages he received from his father. His father never used this tornador treatment except for two times, once for his sake, and the other for his father's sake; and this was the third time!
Tenshi glanced at the place where the clan upper echelon was, and tried to spot his father. Despite the huge distance, he could see his father's face, and from the look of it, he sensed how grave the current situation was!
'Idiot! Father didn't ask for just this treatment, he wanted to send me a message regarding how dangerous this situation was as a whole!'
Tenshi just lamented himself, inwardly, without showing anything on his face at all.
"It seems to me you are so confident about yourself," Tenshi said, trying to correct his mistake by adding, "if so then why not raise the stakes a bit higher? Include more challengers perhaps?"
Rayan glanced in a strange way towards Tenshi, as he didn't know why he was behaving in such a strange way. He wasn't alone, as everyone else was thinking the same thing.
"If stakes will be risen, the rewards should be more generous," Arthur replied, without blinking while adding, "why not add something precious to you? Something that equals my life I put on the line here?"
Arthur understood something was off here, but the more the merrier, especially when it was related to more rewards. If this arrogant son of the clan wanted him to kill more of his subordinates, dealt a strong blow to his reputation, then fine, but it would be better to be done with more rewards on the line.
"What rewards do you seek more?" Tenshi asked, with some hesitation, "I can offer you as much as you ask, if you can chew what you can bite," he added, trying to mock Arthur as well.
However Arthur didn't know what to ask, so he turned to his ally, Rayan, as he asked, while pointing towards Tenshi:
"What is his best treasure?"
This question was simple, short and direct, but it carried very much confidence and underestimating Tenshi. Rayan didn't know what to say, but he had to reply, as Arthur asked him in public, with a loud voice without any hesitation.
"The myriad pocket world, it's his best and proud collection of his," Rayan replied, selecting something that made the face of Tenshi go pale the moment he heard his reply.
"Good," Arthur was satisfied with this pick, without knowing how much it really worth, "let the winner have this pocket world then as an additional trophy," he added.
"In exchange of adding any number of clans to the challenge?" Tenshi asked, as he would never risk his precious world without good reassurance of his side's win.
"Sure," Arthur shook his head without blinking, "add as much as you want from your subordinated, provided that they aren't from the main clan," he added, as he didn't want to create any direct enmity with the whole clan.
"Great," Tenshi nodded, with face that showed how much angry he was by this open challenge from Arthur, "all the clansmen under my order come forth and join this challenge then," he simply added, while waving both hands to the sky, as if the sky itself was part of his force.
Arthur just glanced at this arrogant son of a long line of worthy mages. He had met many arrogant cultivators like him before, and he won every single clash he had with them.
"Brother Willy, do you want me to ask for my supporters to help?" Rayan asked, as this simple challenge had escalated to reach this heights already, and he had done nothing in return to help Arthur, who glanced at him as he smiled:
"Don't worry brother Rayan, I will end them all in no time."
He wasn't arrogant or overconfident, as he knew how strong his dragonair strength was! He didn't know much of the old forgotten techniques of the dragonairs, but he was sure his strength as a dragon would be enough to kill anyone that stood in front of his face, as long as he or she wasn't of the bronzed giants, his nemesis strength.
He stood there, motionless, watching thousands of mages coming towards that stage, entering it.. he didn't enter until everyone was already inside, as he gave Tenshi his last look, before he entered the stage.
