The Monarch's Dilema

The twenty odd demonic beasts suddenly fell to the ground and right before everyone's eyes, the beast brought their cores out of their bodies and died a few seconds after.

These beasts had just sacrificed themselves.

This was inconceivable. Even the Waking Monarch who had seen so much was left stunned. The cores then flew through the forest from the different locations until they reach the Thunder Emperor who had been waiting for them. The cores floated above his left hand for a few seconds before he put them away.

So far, everything was going smoothly.

To get out of the treasure, one needed to use the token that would deliver them into the arena.

The Thunder Emperor did not bother with the token. He instead grasped the space before him with both his hands and ripped out open.
