Chapter 149: Pyramid Of Dominion! (2)
The tension in the air was almost delicious as Creed stood in the glowing corridor of the Pyramid of Dominion, eyes locked onto the golden announcement screen that shimmered before him.
The letters still floated ominously, pulsating slightly, like they were alive and breathing.
Beside him, Lilith and Tierra peered over his shoulder, their faces a mix of curiosity and bubbling anticipation.
But for Creed, this wasn’t just another trial. This was war. The war of strategy, of speed, and of seizing power before anyone else even realized it was up for grabs.
His expression turned sharp, focused, the wheels in his mind spinning faster than a caffeine-addicted hamster on a treadmill.
He took a deep breath and turned to face the girls, his tone calm but firm.
"Alright, I need you two to listen carefully. This entire pyramid is more than just a trial—it’s a strategic battleground."
He smirked. "The system said something very specific; whoever manages to sit on the throne for the required timer gets guaranteed admission into the elite class.
"But that’s not all. The first person to meet the requirements before anyone else, gets extra rewards. And knowing how powerful this academy usually is, those extra rewards are definitely worth fighting for."
Lilith’s eyes narrowed, catching on. "So basically... we’re not just running a race. We’re trying to lap the competition before they even know they’re in a race."
"Exactly," Creed nodded. "Which means I need to be faster, smarter, and hit harder than everyone else. And that’s where you two come in."
