Chapter 121 Rising Star Tournament (11), Surprising Feast, Semi-Finals
As Marcus and Kira approached Almond, a senior Adventurer who was already in the hall built a wooden table for twenty of them and said, "Sit here, the mystic food will be coming soon. It'll recover you fully and get you to the best condition before the next round begins."
"Let's sit and talk," Almond said as he walked towards the table.
Natalia took up the corner seat while Lily and Almond sat beside each other, with Marucs and Kira sitting across them.
"So, what I wanted to request was, how about I come with you to the 2nd floor?" Marcus asked, looking at Almond with a grin. "The four of us are at silver level 10, anyway."
"I don't mind," Almond smiled. "But you'll have to follow my schedule and help me complete it if you want to join me."
Maya, who was sitting next to Kira, quipped in as she looked at Almond, "Sorry to interrupt, but can I partake in this meeting? I am interested in your schedule. You have powerful pets on top of being a strong combatant yourself. I am assuming you will trigger the floor boss, so I want to participate."
"I feel the odd one out as a silver level 30 here," Kira said, her elbows on the table and hands on her cheeks. "Anyway, you finish the discussion first, I'll wait for my turn."
"You won't feel that after listening to our schedule," Natalia snickered.
"Well," Almond smiled. "I do want some people to speed up my work. For starters, here's the schedule. On the 15th of December, when the labyrinth opens, I want to clear the 2nd floor by the end of that day by triggering the Floor Boss."
"Move to the 3rd floor and also clear it by triggering the Floor Boss as soon as possible. I am going to continue until I clear the 5th floor this month alone, which means I will be entering the Labyrinth on its 2nd cycle as well."
Lily and Natalia knew about the plan, so they did not react, but the others were dumbfounded. Continue your journey on empire
"You serious?" Kira blinked.
"Absolutely," Lily flatly smiled.
"So you want to make multiple groups that focus on going to the important areas to get Floor Boss triggering items for you?" Maya raised her eyebrows. "Sounds good. I am in."
"Me too," Marcus grinned. "Sound fun. I haven't fought the Floor Boss on the first floor, but I do want to fight them on the other floors if possible."
"Then I guess I'll also have a chance to fight the Floor Boss when you all come to the 4th floor," Kira grinned. "But everyone here at silver level 30 will enter, and they plan to trigger the Floor Boss as well."
"Good, you can do it on the first cycle," Almond nodded. "Because it'll be 18th December when we enter the 4th floor, which means it'd be the second cycle of the Labyrinth, and we'll be able to trigger it again."
Ron, who sat beside Almond and was hearing them, laughed, "Sounds good on paper, but you want to clear three floors in three days and not just want to pass the floor but trigger their floor bosses and defeat them? Sounds unrealistic. We cleared two floors the previous month but didn't trigger the floor boss. It's faster this way."
"It doesn't concern you whether we can do it or not," Lily flatly said.

...
The first match began without further ado as Xavier, the Piercing Light, and Emma, the Toxin Mist, arrived at the center of the platform.
'All or nothing,' Xavier's eyes were focused, and his expression extremely resolute.
As soon as the match began, Emma used her usual tactic of using her class skill to create a thick toxin mist area of 50 meters radius, covering Xavier, who was 20 meters away from her.
But Xavier had launched his attack as well, going all out with a single attack right from the start—A super fast piercing golden light tore through the mist and directly struck Emma, who failed to dodge it or defend.
*Beep!*
The arena was silent briefly before huge cheers erupted at the instant defeat of Emma!
"And this is it for the first match!" Gelato shouted. "Xavier the Piercing Light wins!"
