Luck is a Charm

Zen continued to look at those crazy slimes in the ceiling as he pondered if he could make them his pet.

'If I have an army of these crazy slimes that could mimic and shoot powerful acid at my enemies. Wouldn't that be less work for me yet more efficient?'

Zen smiled happily when he imagined the days where he just relaxed while having the crazy slimes do all the labor work for him.

Of course, he'll be busy trying to come up with a plan to conquer this tiny world before ascending while enjoying his lovely women.

Meanwhile, Krista Dragoon looked at Zen in a pale face as she exclaimed, "You're a lunatic for thinking about keeping them as pets. Do you not know if it weren't for Leila warning me in time, I would have been shot by their acid and have my flesh melted?"

Zen chuckled softly at Krista Dragoon being like this. After all, she was about to step over the boundary line that he had noticed beforehand.

Although Leila Dragoon has warned her sister in time, Zen was going to stop her if she didn't manage to retreat back swiftly.

Krista Dragoon is a very important person in his quest to conquer this tiny world and he was not going to let his soon-to-be woman die in front of him, especially not in a disgusting and horrifying method.

"Krista, your facial expression right now is like a little girl being scared of thunder." Zen teased shortly after Krista Dragoon finished her outburst.

Krista Dragoon was enraged by the carefree attitude of Zen, almost like he doesn't realize the situation they're in.

With an irritated tone, Krista Dragoon said, "We're stuck in a labyrinth and have no idea where the exit is. Hell, we don't even know where the other people are, including the little lover of yours that is separated from us."

"You seem pretty jealous of Angela." Zen curved his lip upward as he winked at Krista Dragoon and whistled slightly on her lascivious body.

Krista Dragoon could not believe he was still in the mood to leer at her body when the situation is critical and they need to come up with a strategy quickly.

"Do you treat your lover like a tool? One that you could not even bother about her well-being." Krista Dragoon gnashed her teeth as she glared at Zen who returned his focus at the crazy slimes.

Krista Dragoon was completely clueless about the fact that Zen had managed to detect Angela and Evie's location already.

His true qi has been attached to their body so even though the labyrinth restricted communication device, it could not restrict the usage of his true qi.

Such is a thing that can be considered a cheat for Zen who does not follow the norms in this world, which is using mana as their base of power.

However, Zen was trying to keep the two princesses in suspense as he wanted to obtain both of them, just like Evie has predicted.

"I'm acting carefree because I know Angela is safe and if they are met with danger, I have my ways to protect them," Zen informed Krista Dragoon.

He wanted to keep her in suspense longer but when he saw her enraged and disgusted expression at him, he decided to tell her.

There was no way he would obtain her heart if she came to believe that he was a player that would dump a woman after playing with them.

Krista Dragoon squinted her eyes as she remained suspicious, causing Zen to heave a soft sigh.

"I'm speaking the truth and if you're still doubtful then you can ask your little sister, Leila since she has her mystic eye. But let me warn you that if you do, I will take a kiss as a reward." Zen smirked as he waited for her decision.

The atmosphere became awkward as Leila Dragoon stood on the sideline without any intention in their conversation. 

Zen has ordered her to use her mystic eye to keep watch of the crazy slime movement and if she discovered anything unusual, then she would inform him about it.

Meanwhile, Krista Dragoon was debating on what to do and after thinking for a while, she smiled at Zen.

"Who are you to say you will kiss me as a reward? I'm asking my little sister has nothing to do with you." Krista Dragoon exclaimed as she stared at Leila Dragoon for an answer.

"Sister Krista, he's speaking the truth as I detect no lie from him." Leila Dragoon said softly before returning her focus to the ceiling.

Krista Dragoon became dumbstruck when she heard her sister's confirmation.

'I-Impossible. He actually had a method in advance then shouldn't he be able to prevent us from teleporting to this labyrinth, to begin with?' Krista Dragoon said inwardly as she found the truth to be ridiculous.

However, she couldn't get another second to think as Zen used his swift movement to appear in front of her.

Shocked and a look of disbelief flashed in her eyes as she hurriedly cast a barrier and wind spell to retreat back.

"You can run but you can't hide my lovely Krista," Zen laughed as he saw Krista Dragoon trying to struggle.

Krista Dragoon didn't reply as she cast a chain of spells to prevent his advancement. There was zero chance that she will be distracted by his words and lower her guard slightly.

After all, losing her focus means losing her first kiss to a man that she has barely known for a long time.

Despite the intense struggle, Zen continued to advance toward her while sneaking a glance at the movement of the crazy slimes.

'It should be about time that you cannot wait any longer.' Zen was determined to get the crazy slimes to act first and lunged themselves at the safe zone they're in.

Fighting in the path ahead of them where it's narrowed is a dumb and seeking death action.

There was zero space for them to be able to dodge and avoid the barrage of the acid shot from the crazy slimes who have full mobility on the ceiling.
