Chapter 278 - The Trial

The participants entered the portal, their actions unfolding on the enormous screen within the Arena. The emperor, being the master of this domain, had no difficulty creating an image that displayed the actions of every prince. As the god of his own domain, he possessed the power to manipulate and control everything within it.

Among the crowd, Yudi blended in seamlessly, his presence going unnoticed by all except the emperor. However, the emperor chose to ignore his presence, preoccupied with his own thoughts.

"Interesting," the emperor murmured, sensing something peculiar as Dave entered his domain.

...

Swoosh!

Dave and Ryan materialized in a primitive forest, instantly aware of numerous monsters lurking in every direction.

[Ding! The system removes the host's restrictions within the rules of this domain.]

Dave stood stunned, realizing that his movements were no longer restricted in this place. He sensed the freedom to leave whenever he pleased. Before entering the domain, Dave had consulted the system, inquiring about the consequences. The system had assured him that those entering another's domain would be easily suppressed by the domain's creator, unless they were significantly stronger.

Although Dave had yet to create a powerful domain, he worried that his secrets would be exposed should he step into the emperor's domain. However, the system had reassured him, stating that such restrictions were meaningless to it.

Dave marveled at the system's formidable capabilities, even capable of bypassing the rules of a domain. He surveyed his surroundings, his attention shifting to Ryan.

Ryan glanced at Dave, breaking the silence. "Young Master Dave, what is our plan?"

Before Dave could respond, a terrifying force converged upon their location, alerting Dave to the imminent danger. Reacting swiftly, he teleported Ryan away, ensuring his safety.

Boom!

A devastating explosion engulfed the area where Dave and Ryan had stood moments before. A massive, ten-meter boar emerged from the flames, its entire body ablaze.

Ryan stood in awe, swiftly adjusting his mindset. He turned to Dave and declared, "I'll handle this."

Dave nodded, eager to witness Ryan's fighting style. Ryan desired to prove himself capable and not solely reliant on Dave.

Drawing his spear from his spatial ring, Ryan lunged at the boar with fierce determination. Dave observed, captivated by Ryan's combat prowess. In just one minute, Ryan discerned the boar's weaknesses with ease, displaying exceptional proficiency in managing and efficiently utilizing his mana.

Coating his spear with lightning, Ryan moved with incredible speed and precision.

Boom!

Boom!

After five minutes of intense battle, the boar's lifeless body collapsed onto the forest floor. Ryan, slightly out of breath, expressed satisfaction with his performance. Dave nodded, acknowledging Ryan's skill. He recognized that Ryan possessed significant potential, on par with his brothers.

"Do you think I did well?" Ryan asked, seeking Dave's appraisal.

Dave nodded approvingly and replied, "Not bad." He was impressed, though he refrained from expressing it too strongly in front of Ryan.

Suddenly, a brilliant light enveloped the boar's corpse, revealing a token that materialized before them.

"A token!" Ryan exclaimed, dashing forward to claim it.

Dave realized that they needed to slay beasts in order to acquire tokens.

...

The viewers within the Arena witnessed their actions, some ministers congratulating the emperor on having a genius son. Though the emperor's expression remained impassive, he was secretly astonished by the progress of his youngest son.

Other princes, such as the first prince, had also discovered how to acquire tokens, embarking on a beast-hunting spree throughout the area. The first prince effortlessly crushed the beasts he encountered with brute force, while the second prince cleaved them in twain with a single slash. The third prince, however, refrained from direct attacks, instead relying on his helper, while the fourth prince remained motionless, resting alongside his companion.

The fourth prince's actions puzzled others, raising questions about their objectives. Yet, the emperor perceived their confidence and realized they must have their own plans in motion.

The princes' rankings were based on the number of tokens they collected, displayed on the screen for all to see.

...….

Rank 1: Rendon (20 tokens)

| Rank 2: Reiz (17 tokens)

Rank 3: Regal (15 tokens)

Rank 4: Ryan (1 token)

Rank 5: Renjel (0 tokens)

......

The participants, including Dave, viewed the rankings and realized they were falling behind.

Dave smirked, turning to Ryan. "Let's catch up to them."

.......

After 3 hours, Dave embarked on a relentless killing spree, facing each beast that crossed his path with unwavering determination. With every encounter, he unleashed some of his strength, effortlessly defeating the creatures with a single punch.

The onlookers outside the battleground were left stunned by Dave's raw power. Gasps of disbelief echoed through the crowd as they witnessed the seemingly effortless manner in which he dispatched the beasts. It was as if he possessed an innate dominance over them, an overwhelming force that left no room for resistance.

Ryan, who had initially been struck numb by the display of Dave's might, felt his astonishment quickly transform into profound admiration. He realized how fortunate he was to have invited Dave to join him on this journey. The weight of gratitude settled in his heart, knowing that he had gained a powerful ally who could effortlessly turn the tide of any battle.

As Dave continued his onslaught, the onlookers could do nothing but marvel at the sight before them. Each punch he delivered resonated with the force of a thunderclap, sending shockwaves rippling through the air. The ground beneath his feet quivered with the impact of his strikes, leaving a trail of defeated beasts in his wake.

Ryan watched in awe, his respect for Dave growing with every passing moment. He marveled at the seamless fusion of strength, speed, and precision that Dave displayed.

Amidst the chaos and carnage, Ryan found solace in the fact that he stood alongside such a formidable ally. He knew that with Dave by his side, their chances of success increased exponentially.
