Chapter 3722 Contending

Evelynn and Rea Tyriel lost their vision from the ground floor of the Mystical Herb Mansion.

When they came to their senses, they were in a new s.p.a.ce, its edges covered in darkness. They were standing a hundred meters away from each other, blinking, when Rea Tyriel took a step forward and screamed.

"Evelynn why did you contend? You're trying to steal what you asked? It makes no sense!"

"Calm down."

Evelynn sighed lightly, "I'm making sure it's in my hands if we were to be teleported somewhere else and-"

"If that's the case, then that's understandable, but you could've used your right to contend and stole from someone else. Now, I have wasted a common right to acquire hmph!"

Rea Tyriel looked angry, making Evelynn press her lips lightly.

"I apologize, but things are not as simple as it seems."

She looked above, noticing the rules.

[This is a battle between souls. Defeat your opponent's soul to acquire the treasure.]

[An opponent can be defeated in two ways. One way is to kill them, causing their soul to be injured by twenty-five percent. Another way is for them to admit defeat, causing their souls to get injured by five percent.]

"Huh?"

Rea Tyriel's lips parted in shock. She returned her gaze to Evelynn, turning even more angry.

"Look, you little-"

"I need you to give up, Rea."

"Ahh you shameless!"

Rea Tyriel's cheeks puffed as though she was going to curse. She indeed felt like going crazy as she pulled on her blonde hair, looking crazy.

There was no way she could defeat Evelynn, so she could only admit defeat. Their cultivation bases also seemed to be similar here, which made it extra easy for Evelynn to defeat her.

If she was killed, then she would lose twenty-five percent of her soul essence, which was ridiculous. Hence, losing five percent by admitting defeat was good.

""

Evelynn finally felt her cheeks burn as she felt that she may have done something wrong. However, she still felt this was a valid or, perhaps, the only way to-

"I think contending is the steps we're looking for to go up to the upper floors."

"" Rea Tyriel came back to her senses, staring at Evelynn with bloodshot eyes, "Do you even see me as a human?"

"I do. I promise"

Evelynn touched her bosom as though swearing, causing Rea Tyriel to breathe heavily, her bosoms heaving before she relaxed.

"I'm going to kick your b.u.t.t if that isn't true."

"I'd rather pay you additional compensation or contend me on a treasure of your choosing after I used six common rights to acquire, and I'll concede~"

"Hmph~"

Rea Tyriel harrumphed, but she blushed. The way Evelynn said it made her look like she was mad for reacting that way. After all, to contend with Evelynn would also mean that Evelynn would lose five percent of her soul essence in the case she conceded, facing a fate similar to hers.

"Fine"

Rea Tyriel blushed even harder at needing to admit defeat for a third time, "I admit defeat."

*Whoos.h.!.+~*

Evelynn and Rea Tyriel both felt themselves being pulled back by their bodies. When they came back to themselves, they saw they were still standing the way they were before the battle started.

The light of the circles came down, and the Sacred fell into Evelynn's hands while Rea Tyriel still had her hand reached out, her soul wracked with pain-

"Wait why don't I feel any pain in my soul?"

Rea Tyriel touched her forehead, her pupils dilating. She could sense five percent of her soul essence really did diminish but she didn't feel any pain, much less any change. It was like it wasn't cut but dispersed of its own accord, ethereal and painless.

It truly made her wonder what kind of other monstrosities the World Master was capable of with a mere formation.

She turned to look at Evelynn, becoming even more shocked as the circle underneath her feet didn't fade. Instead, it began lighting up more, making her disappear.

"Evelynn!"

Worried voices echoed from various distances as Isabella and s.h.i.+rley quickly came to Evelynn's side, das.h.i.+ng at full speed.

As soon as they were near, they tried to grab Rea Tyriel with menacing eyes, but Rea Tyriel dodged and raised her hands.

"Wait! Wait! This is her doing, not mine!"

The way everyone saw it, Rea Tyriel made Evelynn disappear.

It was unknown what happened when Evelynn stepped into the circle, but since she was gone, everyone was on high alert.

"Wait Fairy Evelynn really did step on Rea Tyriel's circle to contend with her"

Founder Rocksunder tried to stop them, causing Evelynn and s.h.i.+rley to come to a stop.

Naturally, they knew Rea Tyriel had started the process. However, the three of them were all capable of sensing each other's direction through the hex Evelynn placed on them, so they became worried to death when they couldn't sense her direction anymore.

Where did she go?

"Don't look up. Evelynn said it was possible that contention is the only way to move to the upper floors."

Rea Tyriel quickly explained through soul transmission, causing Isabella, s.h.i.+rley, and Founder Rocksunder's eyes to widen. They didn't look up as Rea Tyriel instructed but looked at each other and glanced at the four people who were watching them with curiosity or amus.e.m.e.nt in their eyes.

They wondered if Evelynn would be present on the first floor if they looked up but didn't want to tip off Zenova Artoria's group.

If contention was the only way to go up, then the other party would quickly try to steal everything from them as much as they could.

However, they saw Zenova Artoria's eyes widen.

It appeared to hold a flash of insight, and they could see her eyes narrow as though she were smirking behind her veil.

"I see."

An amused voice echoed out as though confirming it, making Isabella and s.h.i.+rley curse her for her smart brain.

"She really thought it through these strange rules restricting each other's movements yet giving leeway to steal three times. But to just test it, I wouldn't dare try it without trusting each other, though."

Zenova Artoria walked towards Isabella and s.h.i.+rley, standing in front of them. However, her gaze fell on Rea Tyriel.

"Now, if anyone wants some treasures, feel free to acquire them."

"I'll respectfully decline."

Rea Tyriel clenched her teeth. After all she went through, she had the urge to display a middle finger to vent but didn't as she could sense a dangerous aura from Zenova Artoria. At the same time, Isabella and s.h.i.+rley looked at her as though she were a big opponent, making her stay her hand.

"What's going on?"

Agnirei appeared from the distance as she hovered. She took a glance at Zenova Artoria, wondering if something happened.

"Agnirei" Zenova Artoria turned to look at the flame spirit and smirked, "I know you don't trust me, but choose a treasure right now. I want to contend."

"Why?"

Agnirei narrowed her eyes.

"Time is of the essence. Otherwise, the good treasures on the upper floors are going to be taken all by Evelynn."

Zenova Artoria giggled ever so lightly and pointed up to Agnirei's shock.

"She went up~"
