573 Niflheim's Regret and A Wager

"That's not a good sign," Niflheim commented in regards to being provided with 100 lives. He understood that if the system felt it fit to give them such a large number of lives, then this challenge had yet to truly begin.

Suddenly, the golden puppets were teleported back to the north gate entrance as they reset to their original state.

"Not only can these puppets copy our skills, but each of them holds an abundance of combat experience. The further we go, the more noticeable it will become." Izroth stated.

"Then, care to make a friendly wager?" Niflheim asked calmly.

"Oh? I'm never one to turn down a challenge—what did you have in mind?" Izroth inquired.

"Whoever has the most lives remaining or is the last one standing by the time this is over will be declared the winner. The loser will have to accept one request from the winner within their means." Niflheim explained.

"Interesting. What might your request be?" Izroth questioned.
