To the Depth of Abyss

Chapter 231: Two King Determination

Eria / Palace of Horus

Garden /

A few days passed since Ars group arrived at Floor 3. 

Ars officially owned the third palace, where previously it is the Palace of Ganesha, owned by Shiva. Now has become Palace of Fafnir, owned by Ars. 

The palace's design got redesigned as Ars desire. 

It is got cooler and fancier than before. But seemed to cool. The girls didn't feel like they suit to the place. 

Frida's palace was more beautiful. It was more suitable for the girls. 

Plus, the Spear Saint was there. The only female Saint of the Four. 

When Ars was not home he currently is busy holding a meeting with Troy the girls will spend themselves at Palace of Horus.

Even though the mentioned girls were only Elizabeth and Skadi. 

Arlene was with Ars in the meeting as assistant. Diana tried to regroup with the Valkyries. Huxian stayed still in Palace of Fafnir since her stomach started to grow big and it would be dangerous for her if the public found out about her pregnancy.

That day was Dimitri Junior's time to play outside. His mother was in the meeting, so his grandmother and two of Mr. Dragon King's wives accompany him. 

"Haaa!"

Even though it was playing time, Dimitri Junior chose to ask Miss Silver Haired sword woman to train him.

"Ugh!"

But as a three-year-old boy, there was not much he could do.

"But he continued to get up."

The day before, Dimitri and Skadi held a sparring match to measure each other with strength and skill. 

Dimitri is a Captain in the Eria Knights' Union. Knight Union is under Frida's command. 

Unlike the 300 Spartan owned by Troy. The Knight Union only has 41 members. Even so, it strength was on par with Floor 2 Diamond Hunter's group, Jade the Green Family.

In the match, Skadi is superior in terms of physical strength. But Dimitri won the match because of his skill is superior. 

Dimitri Jr was there to watch the match. Even though he only a three yo boy, he was amazed at the match. 

He once asked his father to train him swordplay. But his father did not give him for a reason he is still a 3 yo boy.

So he tried to ask the Miss Silver haired sword woman and got a chance to be trained. 

However, Skadi's swordplay is a simple move with great strength. So, there was not actually anything she could teach to the little boy. 

"I am beaten up!"

The boy finally falls after just 5 minutes. 

"W-where did he learn that word?" asked Elisa.

Despite of being a 3 yo boy, sometimes Dimitri Jr uttered adult words that he shouldn't learn as a 3 yo boy. 

"Sometimes he watched the Knight or Spartan training. So I guess he learn that words there."

Jeanne was used to hearing those words come out of Dimitri Jr.'s mouth. But not with Elisa.

"Um, what is it, Miss Jeanne?"

Elisa got a little embarrassed when Jeanne suddenly looking at her with a serious gaze. 

"Elizabeth, are you okay?"

Jeanne shows a curious, worried expression as Frida in the past few days. 

"I am sorry, but, I really am okay. In fact, I feel even more cheered seeing Junior fighting!"

It was not like Elisa is in pain or anything. Yet Jeanne worried about her. 

"That's good then. But please do not force yourself. If you think you need rest, just rest."

Elisa cannot answer Jeanne worriness. 

She can't, for some reason, she can't tell any about it now.

Palace of Moccus / 

On the first day of meeting / 

"God's Challenger. Have you ever heard about this achievement?"

Ars asked that question to Troy and Frida.

As they heard the question, they proceed to show a 'can't believe' face. 

[God's Challenger], is an achievement as well as requirement for Abyssal Hunter to reach the Depth of Abyss. 

Staff Saint happened said about this long before. But unfortunately, they did not know how to achieve the terms [God's Challenger].

Then Ars came to them with a face that tells them, 'I got this achievement, did you got it too?'.

After that, Ars without doubt explained to them on how he achieve that term. 

"I got that achievement after buying Floor 1 and 2. So basically, I have the achievement [God's Challenger I] and [God's Challenger II]."

Ars did buy Floor I at first because of his Greed. But then, his motive to buy Floor 2 is because of his Greed as well as to achieve that achievement. 

"That's why, let me buy this Floor as well."

Then he came up with that idea. 

Of course, as the ruler of Floor 3 as well as the Conqueror, Troy cannot just accept that idea because of Ars had got the 2/3 terms to get the ticket to the Depth of Abyss. 

But before Troy thinks about allowing the idea or not, he has a question. 

"How can you buy this Floor when there is no Abyss Administrator?"

In other words is the Abyssal Guild.

What Ars answered surprised both Troy and Frida. 

"Because this Floor isn't connected to nowhere? In other words, this Floor is like another bottle in the table. In order to connect with Abyss Administrator, you need this Floor to be connected to the Hub. This will happen after Ocean Abyss Pit station is finished and Floor 2 and Floor 3 officially is connected."

Ars came to the meeting completely full of preparations.

Unlike Troy, who still secretly has doubts on Ars.

All Ars ideas are based on logic and potential. Even Frida cannot see a hole in Ars ideas. 

For that reason, Troy asked Ars to give him time to think. 

~

The day is the day Troy gives his decision. 

"Do you think no one besides you could hold that term?"

But before that, Troy tried to test Ars. 

"So, you want to say that you are going to buy Floor 1 and 2 from me? That's okay for me. But I'll just say, even if you sell all of your wealth and even Eria, you won't be able to buy all of my assets."

Ars directly said that he was the richest person in Abyssal Terra.

"Or, you can steal it from me, the 'terms'. But of course, the price we will pay will be just as painful."

To steal the 'terms' in Ars' hand with force, through battle. 

Of course Tory would not want that either. When their biggest enemy, the Virtues, were still hiding somewhere in Floor 3. 

"Alright, but, I only will allow it after you prove your idea."

To connect Floor 2 to another Floor. Plus, to invite the Abyss Administrator to Eria. 

"I am happy you are not some kind of Pig head."

"Can't you see I'm already a pig?"

That way, the two kings has reached a peaceful agreement. 

"And one more thing, you must also be responsible for Eria's safety until Guild Protection arrives."

"Of course. My family are here too after all."
