Chapter 755: Kinka Kouko Labyrinth
After traveling for two days, Vinery stopped the Chariot at a floating golden mountain with colorful streams of lights flowing around it.
However, Vinery had a distressed expression on her face.
“Emperor, this…I won’t be able to enter inside with you. This Labyrinth is of Anarchy-grade,” Vinery said.
The thing was that Athan was one the who noticed this mountain here. He was sure that Vinery also noticed but didn’t inform him about it.
“Why didn’t you tell me about this mountain?” Athan asked with narrowed eyes, “I’m sure you noticed this.”
“…I thought it would be better if you entered the Mystic-grade Labyrinth, “Vinery said with a wry smile, “although only powerhouses corresponding to their plane can enter the respective grade Labyrinths, I wanted your majesty to try entering Mystic-grade Labyrinth since you are not a usual Anarchy Lord. Your body strength is also weaker than Mystic powerhouses.”
“Your idea might work, but since we encountered this here, then I am entering. You wait outside and wait for my return,” Athan said before leaving the Chariot and flying towards the floating mountain.
Vinery sighed before she controlled the Chariot and descended on the ground where people had built a small temporary city due to the appearance of this Mountain-type Labyrinth of Anarchy grade.
Many Anarchy lords from nearby cities and settlements have entered the mountain since it’s been a day that this Mountain-type Labyrinth manifested here.
One rule was absolute. Every Labyrinth would only appear for seven days, and they would disappear after seven days.
…
This Mountain-Type Labyrinth was huge. It was one thousand kilometers tall and one thousand eight hundred kilometers wide.
Athan entered the mountain and arrived at the foot of the mountain as the entrance of this Mountain-type Labyrinth was there.
It was a giant five kilometers tall and ten kilometers wide gate that everyone could see even if they saw the mountain from outside.
That gate was burning with golden flames that sparked with multiple colors.
Athan couldn’t see what was behind the gate as it was all darkness.
After he entered inside, a palm-sized creature appeared in front of him in this normal-looking cave with no path extending anywhere.
“A fairy?” Athan raised his eyebrows as he saw a tiny fairy-like creature with leaf cloths and golden wings. She had emerald long hair that glittered beautifully.
“Hello, Adventurer, I am your assigned Labyrinth Fairy. You can call me Nina. Since you are the 17th visiter, you will be sent to the 5th floor of the Labyrinth,” the little fairy said with a cute smile before she whirled her hands in a vertical circular motion as a portal appeared in front of Athan.
“Please enter inside,” Nina said as she gestured for Athan to enter inside the portal.
“First, I would like you to tell me more about this,” Athan said with a smile. He wanted to know more about this before entering the portal.
“As you wish, dear adventurer,” Nina picked the corner of her leaf frock and did a short bow courtesy with a smile.
Afterward, the fairy started telling Athan about the Labyrinth.
One can do two things are entering Labyrinth. First, they can enter inside and hunt monsters, find resources like ore, plants, etc., to get strong, and another was to go the deepest part of the Labyrinth and conquer it by defeating the Ruler of Labyrinth.
The rewards of defeating the Ruler of Labyrinth were incredible, to say the least. They would come in various forms, but one thing was sure, it would help one progress tremendously and make them stronger than before.
This Mountain-type Labyrinth, which was golden, Kinka Kouko Labyrinth, had five floors.
The first five people can go directly to the third floor, getting their hands on better resources.
Sixth to tenth people can directly go to the 4th floor while all people after tenth will be sent to the 5th floor.
The Ruler of Labyrinth is on the first floor, but it only appears after three days since the manifestation of Labyrinth.
After hearing all that, Athan nodded and asked, “do you know what rewards will one get after defeating the Ruler of Labyrinth?”
“Nope, I don’t know. But the rewards are based on contribution ranking. The one with the highest contribution will get the best reward,” Nina said with a smile as she waved her hand, and a scroll manifested in front of Athan that was one meter long and fifty centimeters wide.
The scroll displayed a contribution ranking.
[Contribution Ranking]

“So only the top five gets rewards in the end? or….” Athan said as he looked at the scroll, which only had five ranking slots.
“Yep,” Nina nodded with a smile, “there are cases with fifty to a hundred people attacking the Ruler of Labyrinth, but only the top five get worthy rewards. However, the rest of the people get a random Stone, and cutting it might give something good, comparable to the top five rewards. But it all depends on luck.”
“I see,” Athan nodded before smiling, “Then let’s go.”
“Nyaaa! Master, we also want to come outside now, can we?” Primo said with puppy eyes…despite being a cat.
Taezin and Pixilot also showed the same expression.
Athan saw them doing this in the void region after they called him, and he smiled, “fine, come on.”
“Hehe, thank you sooooooooooo much, master.”
Primo, Taezin, and Pixilot came out aside as they floated around Athan.
“Ahh, so dear Adventurer have companions with him,” Nina was surprised before she smiled, “that’s good. I thought you would get the last contribution rank even if you managed to reach the top since all Anarchy lords before you had pets with them while you didn’t.”
“Humph, we are the best pets in the worlds,” Taezin said while crossing his arms while his bo staff was floating beside him, “I will trample them with my new attack, Heaven’s trampling.”
Primo sneered and hissed, “don’t forget that I helped you master that attack.”
“Fine, fine,” Taezin said with a sage monkey face,” you shall get credit if this heavenly lord kills someone with Heaven’s trampling.”
“enough talking,” Pixilot said as the cute little demon spoke, “Master, let’s go, let’s go.”
She grabbed Athan’s hand and pulled him towards the portal. Athan wryly smiled as he entered the portal. Primo and Taezin also hurridly entered inside while Nina looked at them with sparkling eyes before she smiled happily and also entered inside.
…
*Roarrrrrr!!*
Right when they came out of a portal, they saw a T-rex but with two heads and metal skull exo-skeleton spewing out steel grey liquid at them.
“Leave it to me, master!” Pixilot said as she flapped her multi-colored mystical wings, which created visible wind waves, “Hehe, taste my Enchanting Dream Wave Bubbles.”
The wind waves and incoming steel grey liquid clashed.
*Siiiiiiiiiiii….*
The moment both clashed, transparent bubbles with a rainbow hue in them produced rapidly.
The wind waves were being consumed, and the incoming grey steel liquid was also consumed before producing those bubbles.
Those bubbles burst near Athan and others before he, Primo, and Taezin felt their physical strength and senses increasing while a layer of faint armor also appeared around them.
