    When Gilbert and Nixon saw Caspian, both their eyes were filled with resentment.


    They had encountered all sorts of danger during their journey.


    They had even lost many of their subordinates.


    “I was wondering who it was, but it’s just you losers!” Caspian taunted.


    “Don’t be so cocky, Caspian. Once we get the Eldorian Scroll fragment, you’ll surely die!” Nixon said sc


    ornfully.


    The remaining few thousand expert martial artists looked at Caspian.


    They were hungry for Caspian to die brutally under their swords.


    As long as Caspian was alive, no one else would have the chance to obtain the Eldorian Scroll fragmen


    t.


    “You want the Eldorian Scroll fragment, right? Go ahead. Once you’ve made your way to the end of


    the Stairway to Enlightenment, it’ll be yours. We’ll see if you have the ability to do it,‘ Caspian said as h


    e pointed at the stairs.


    Caspian moved aside to clear the path for them.


    Everyone was momentarily stunned.


    What was happening?


    Caspian had been


    arrogant this whole time, and now he was actually giving way for them to have a head start?


    Now that they were one step away from the Eldorian Scroll fragment, Caspian wanted to let someone e


    lse go first?


    Everyone exchanged nces. Nobody dared to make a move.


    They did not want to get themselves killed by ident.


    “What a bunch of losers. Forget it!” Caspian said with a look of disdain on his face.


    His words made everyone spiteful.


    “Isn’t it just a few steps? What’s there to be afraid of? We, Shadow Gate, will take the first step. Once w


    e get the Eldorian Scroll fragment, the first thing I’m going to do is kill you!” Gilbert stepped forward and


    said.


    “Anyone can talk big. If you really can get the Eldorian Scroll fragment, be my guest! Caspian said with


    a smile.


    Sylvia and the others looked at Gilbert disdainfully.


    Gilbert was angry. Once he obtained the Eldorian Scroll fragment, he would surely kill Caspian!


    “All of you, go!” Gilbert said to the expert martial artists.


    Everyone


    was speechless. Gilbert had proimed loudly that he would go, but now he was afraid of going ahead.


    “Mr. Shane, since Shadow Gate is so powerful, you can go ahead first!”


    “That’s right. Or are you afraid, Mr. Shane?”


    “My leg’s cramping up. You go first!”


    There were thousands of expert martial artists and yet not even one dared toe forward.


    Nobody’s stupid. This was not the time for anybody to step forward.


    Gilbert’s face darkened when he saw that no one was offering themselves to go.


    A menacing energy suddenly burst out of him.


    “Do you al


    all want to die?” Gilbert asked coldly.

    In the end, all martial artists were only useful for testing the routes for safety.


    If they did not want to test the route for him, he nned to kill them all.


    Caspian let out a boomingugh.


    “Don’t tell me the people from Shadow


    Gate are all chickens, having others test the route for you? What a joke! I think it’s better for Shadow G


    ate to be dissolved!”


    “Bastard! How dare you mock Shadow Gate!”


    “Mr. Shane, let us go! Once we get the Eldorian Scroll fragment, we’ll kill him first!”


    The members of Shadow Gate shouted as they could no longer hold back when Caspian began insultin


    g them.


    They knew deep down that the Stairway to Enlightenment would not be as simple as it looked. Nhe


    less, they did not want to be looked down on by Caspian.


    “Mr. Shane, allow me!” Fabian came forward and said.


    “Alright. Bring a few men with you, but be careful!” Gilbert instructed.


    With Fabian stepping forward, it was a great help to Shadow Gate.


    “Yes, sir!” Fabian nodded.


    He looked toward the members of Shadow Gate and asked, “Who’s willing to rush inside? Come with


    me!”


    About 20 people stepped forward.


    “Not bad! We’ll show them that Shadow Gate is not made up of cowards!” Fabian said with determinati


    on.


    Following this, he led more than 20 people and rushed forward.


    Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Aster kept a close watch on these people. He already knew about the oddity of the Stairway to Enlighte


    nment.


    He was curious to see if the people of Shadow Gate could get through.


    The others also held their breaths and paid close attention as they anticipated the oue.


    “Be careful, everyone!” Fabian said in a serious tone.


    “Yes, sir!” the subordinates of Shadow Gate shouted.


    They were not stupid either. There must


    be a reason why Caspian made way for them to have a go at it first.


    Fabian took a deep breath as he took the first step on the stairs.


    Nothing happened.


    “You must be trying to fool us!” Fabian said nonchntly as he let out a long sigh of relief.


    He had thought that the Stairway to Enlightenment was something impressive and mysterious.


    But it turned out Caspian was just trying to scare them.


    Fabian increased his speed.


    The others also followed behind.


    “What Stairway to Enlightenment? It’s just a normal stairwell. Don’t be scared, everyone.


    Let’s use the fastest speed to get there.


    “The Eldorian Scroll fragment will be ours!” Fabianughed.


    “Charge!”


    More than 20 Shadow Gate members ran forward the fastest they could.

    However, they had only managed to feel their legs sinking.


    Some even lost their bnce and fell down.


    Fabian had also noticed that something was wrong.


    The higher he climbed, the harder it became.


    It felt as if there was a huge mountain pressing on him.


    But he did not care too much about it and continued his way up.


    With a loud bang, Fabian became overwhelmed and rolled down the stairs.


    “Are you alright, Fabian?” Shane ran toward and helped him up.


    At that moment, Fabian’s entire face was covered in dirt. He felt really embarrassed.


    “Mr. Shane, my ipetence has let you down. These stairs are strange. The higher we climbed, the h


    Gilbert’s face went frigid.


    He had guessed that it would not be this simple.


    Otherwise, Caspian would not have made way for them.


    Gilbert shot Caspian a piercing re.


    “What are you ring at? Who can you me for your ipetence?” Caspian smirked.


    Gilbert turned away, ignoring Caspian.


    When the others saw the members of Shadow Gate fall, they began having


    second thoughts about going up the stairs.


    “Why? It’s such a good opportunity, but nobody dares to go anymore,


    huh?”


    The people lowered their heads.


    Fabian had the strength of an eternal grandmaster. If


    he was not able to climb up the Stairway to Enlightenment, how could the others possibly achieve it?


    “What a joke! All the expert fighters in the entire Diatoran are here and yet none of you dare to climb a fe


    “Enough with the taunting, Caspian! Why don’t you


    just climb the stairs and show us how good you are!” Nixon said irritably.


    “That’s right! You must be afraid as well, aren’t you? That’s why you let us go first!” Gilbert chimed in.


    Shadow Gate and the people of the TMAA looked toward Caspian with a contemptuous look.


    “Wanna bet?” Caspian sneered.


    “Bet on what?” Nixon and Gilbert asked with a frown on their faces.


    “The three of us will climb the stairs at the same time. The one to reach the end first wins! What do you t


    “This is the century–


    old saffron we managed to gather. It’ll be the prize. What do you think?” Caspian waved the saffron in hi


    Both Nixon and Gilbert were tempted when they saw the wager.


    This type of saffron was hard toe by, and its benefits were unimaginable.


    Even if one had money, they might not necessarily be able to buy it. It was priceless!
