I BECAME A SKULL IN ANOTHER WORLD WITH THE LABYRINTH MASTER'S WORK.

CHAPTER 218: THE EMPEROR'S RIGHT HAND

Nera and the others decided to stop as they approached the muscular man, they did not directly kill this man like the guards before because they could sense that this man was different, he said, at least the level of strength of this man was not inferior to Nera or Lasha.

The man opened his eyes slowly then observed Nera and the others "Are you the army of the crown prince? Who would have thought that the crown prince could recruit such a strong person like you, whereas I previously only thought that the crown prince had the most Folk and Kulen. As long as it was only those 2 people, I was sure to be able to win, but who would have thought that he still kept the other 3 strong people. This is so troublesome, even I might be able to die!".

"Then why not let us pass by to kill the emperor? After all as long as the emperor dies then you only need to be loyal to the crown prince, isn't that okay? In the end the crown prince was still the emperor's son" said Nera smiling kindly, he tried to persuade the man despite already knowing that this man must have refused.

What Nera thought was not wrong, the man shook his head "I can't do that, as long as I'm alive and able to fight then I won't let anyone try to kill the emperor! Unless you kill me then I will not let you pass, after all I am the right hand of the emperor, Derka!".

Before Nera could say anything more, Terphis had already stepped forward first and said coldly "Nera need not worry, let me resolve this matter quickly, please, you can go first to the emperor!".

"Wait a minute!", cried Lasha who was holding onto Terfis' shoulder to stop him, she said firmly "Frightened, actually I tried to always be next to Nera, but things are different now. You are the strongest so it is better if you continue to be with Nera, that way then you can always protect Nera. As for fighting this Derka, then I alone was more than enough!".

Fistfully not agreeing with Lasha's words, he looked at Nera to wait for her decision.

"Lasha, are you sure you can win? The enemy has a power 1 level higher than you" Nera said carefully.

"Nera doesn't have to worry, however I can't die that easily. Not to mention that I am not a fool, as long as I cannot defeat the enemy then I definitely do not choose to fight him. I am confident to be able to win against this Derka, therefore I decided to fight it!", said Lasha confidently.

Nera nodded "Then I leave the matter here to you, if the enemy is too strong then you must escape. I won't be angry just because you ran away, but the most important thing is that you can stay alive".

"I see, Lasha will definitely leave soon when she finds out she can't win" said Lasha who had started picking up her spear.

Nera did not speak any more, she just ran towards the door that was being guarded by Derka "Be sure to be careful!".

Terfis also looked towards Lasha "I definitely guard the master, although I must die, as long as I can protect the master then I will definitely not mind! So you also have to take care of yourself, so that you don't die which must make you sad".

After he finished saying all that, Terfis followed Nera to guard him.

Seeing Nera and Terfis trying to go towards the emperor through the door he was guarding, Derka shook her head like she was looking at a fool "Are you not underestimating me too much? Let me teach you a lesson here, whoever underestimates his enemy then they must be sorry!".

Derka raised the sword in her hand, an extremely powerful aura gathered all over the sword "Death!".

"Shelf!".

A very loud sound of collision was heard as the 2 weapons collided with each other, Lasha who was holding Derka's sword wearing her spear smiled "Your opponent is me, better not underestimate your opponent, isn't that what you said yourself?".

Taking advantage of that time, Nera and Terfis had already gone towards the emperor through the front door of the palace.

Looking at Nera and Terphis who were leaving, then towards Lasha who could withstand her spear even though it had a strength of a weaker level, a smile appeared in Derka territory "It seems that you guys are really not easy, I'm at a loss as to how the crown prince can recruit people as strong as you. Well, I won't underestimate you again this time. Young lady, you better get ready!".

Derka stepped back and put on horses that were ready to fight, at the same time he wore the horses so the aura of power around Derka increased very quickly.

Sensing Derka's aura, Lasha knew that Derka was using all her strength this time so that Lasha would not hold back either.

He took 1 more spear so that he now wore 2 spears, a strong power of light flowed on the spear that was on Lasha's right hand while the power of darkness flowed on the spear in his left hand, Lasha said with determination to fight "You also have to prepare yourself, do not regret having to die from underestimating your enemy!".

The 2 people stepped forward, swords and spears colliding into each other which made loud noises as well as explosions.

...----------------...

Nera and Terphis continued to walk towards the back of the palace, more precisely the emperor's room and the place where he slept every night.

If it was only Nera then he couldn't possibly get this information, after all the location of the emperor was always very secretive so that no assassins targeted him.

But Nera had the support of the crown prince as well as Fillie, therefore he could figure out the location of the emperor's bed without any problems.

When Nera had arrived at the door of the emperor's room, he opened it without hesitation while preparing to face any traps, after all this was the emperor's room so it was not strange that there was a trap here to kill everyone who tried to attack the emperor.

But when the door opened, Nera realized that there was no attack, not even anyone in this room except an old man sitting on his bed. Although he looked very old, Nera could feel that this old man was not weak at all, it could be said that there was a strong aura gathering around him secretly. Without even knowing his name, Nera already knew about who this man really was.

The man was looking out the window at the gate of the city that was being attacked by the rebels, and then he looked at Nera and Terphis who were at the door of his room "I welcome you, my guests! At first I thought that the crown prince himself had intervened here to kill me, but who would have thought that the child could have 3 strong people like you, you guys, it seems like I've underestimated the crown prince all along. You guys, why are strong people like you trying to cooperate with the crown prince?".
