Seven figures stood in the sky, and to confirm his suspicion, he used Detection on these seven figures.The link to the origin of this information rests in Fɪre.net

Different from the other ranks, the word God shone in gold instead of white text. Tang Shaoyang grinned at his discovery. This was all his plan before abandoning the thought of luring the God Ranks into the tower. However, he did it even though he did not plan to do it. The God Ranks came for him, not just one but seven of them.

The seven figures had their faces covered with mist. Even his Spirit Eyes did not work on the mist covering their faces. They wore a golden robe, and that was it. He did not see a weapon or armor on them, but of course, those things could be saved in their inventory. But the fact they spoke to him instead of attacking him, they came to talk not to kill him. Or maybe they tried to save the helpless guy underneath him.

Tang Shaoyang pushed further the sword as the tip of the Slayer Blade entered Lulu's Brother's neck, less than a meter but blood trickling out of the neck. He did it to confirm the seven God Ranks' intention of coming into the tower.

"Don't you dare, Mortal!" The thunderous roar rang once as the pressure piled up on him. Despite the tremendous pressure, Tang Shaoyang remained unfazed. He did not even blink, staring at the seven figures in the sky. They tried to deter him, and with that, he had confirmed their purpose of coming here.

They did not intend to fight or kill him. Their purpose in coming down was to save Lulu's Brother.

Tang Shaoyang grinned wider and was about to negotiate with the seven figures, but then lightning flickered beyond the dark cloud. The lightning lightened up the sky, then seven flashed coming down from the cloud. Seven lightning for the seven figures in the sky.

One of the seven figures floated above the other six, trying to take the seven Divine Lightning by himself. Forming a giant red shield to cover seven of them. Not just one barrier, the person formed another seven barriers. Multiple barriers formed around the seven figures when the seven lightning hit the barrier.

The seven Divine Lightnings created a blinding light, forcing Tang Shaoyang to close his eyes. The seven figures did not look concerned, expecting the lightning to come at them. The Divine Lightning even blinded the Spirit Eyes, forcing him to shut off the Spirit Eyes. It was hurt when his Spirit Eyes came in contact with the flash from the lightning.

Tang Shaoyang was blinded by the lights. The only thing he could rely on was his high Sense, trying to sense if anyone came closer to him. If he sensed someone coming to him, he would kill Lulu's Brother. He frowned, hearing nothing as the blinding light from the lightning dimmed. Opening his eyes slowly, looking up at where the seven God Ranks were.

A figure fell from the sky out of seven figures. It seemed the other six had not noticed their falling comrade until the body was halfway to reaching the ground. They noticed they missed someone and one of them disappeared, catching the falling figure before their body landed on the ground.

The six God Ranks of the Mistovel Family panicked that they lost one of them within the first wave of the Divine Lightning. He overheard their conversation, saying "Ardan is dying. We need to bring him back to the Fountain of Life!"

The figure that caught the falling figure shot up to the rift in the sky. The remaining five realized that they could not stay any longer in this tower. One of them took something out of the inventory, a three-inch vial containing red liquid. The figure threw the vial toward Tang Shaoyang, and he caught the vial in his hand.

"Spare my descendant's life. We can't give you the thing you want, but that should be enough to pay for you."

Tang Shaoyang inspected the vial in his hand.

[Dragon Essence]

He furrowed his brow, thinking what a Dragon Essence was. Then he recalled the process when he inherited his bloodline from Rumru. Rumru used the blood from the heart for him to inherit the bloodline. If he was not wrong, this was the blood of Dragon Heart. It was used for someone to get the bloodline, but he was not sure if it would be the same. Rumru led the ritual himself, but he only had the essence. He did not know if the ritual was needed just like the Ruby Dragon did to Kaiser.

"Two! Give me two more then you have the deal," Tang Shaoyang put the vial into his inventory and asked for more. He was not being unreasonable as he had a reason for asking for two more Dragon Essence. Of course, it was part of the negotiation where he had the upper hand.

The sky continuously rumbled, and lightning flickered behind the black cloud. The time was on his side as the second wave of Divine Lightning would come for them, stronger than the previous one. This time the Divine Lightning might kill them for real. They did not have the time to negotiate unless they wanted to sacrifice one of them to the System.

"Just give it to him. We don't have time to be picky. I don't want to hold another Divine Lightning!"

Hearing the urge, the one who tossed him the vial reluctantly took another two vials with the same red liquid inside. The figure tossed the two vials toward Tang Shaoyang, and he caught them, putting them inside the inventory immediately.

"We have given what you asked for. Remember your promise, Mortal!" Those were the last words of the God Ranks before they returned to the rift. The rift closed and disappeared from the sky along with the dark cloud and the lightning. The weather returned to normal, the sunny day he knew.

"Tch. It's a pity they came with seven people. I might have a chance if it's one or two…." He muttered in a low voice before looking to the right, "There's no need to hide anymore. We are safe now."

If it was one God Rank, that would be an easy kill. If it was two, he would use everything to stall the second God Ranks for the second wave of Divine Lightning. But seven God Ranks were too much, knowing his limit, he agreed to the negotiation even though Lulu's Brother almost killed him.

Avyn, Rosalie, Zowen, Wrath, and Greed along with the Skelly Family came out from the hiding spot. The Skelly Family brought the half-frozen Lulu with them.
