Born Almighty Warrior novel Chapter 346

"There are thirty-five names here. It would seem that it's time for me to inscribe mine here, too. I'll be the one," Ricky whispered.

"Yes. To be a Royal Sky Guard, you need to successfully go through the thirty-six stairs and inscribe your name on the golden plaque. If you fail, you won't be admitted, and you'll have to leave. Of course, you have the option to leave now," Tyson said.

"In the past, I might have already quit. But now, I won't step back. Since you and Kristen made it, you guys set a good example for me. I want to do my best and join you," Ricky said with a genuine smile.

Hearing this, Tyson scornfully shook his head. "Hey, you can't fool me with your flattery. I know you're after the handsome rewards."

"Tyson, don't say that... that's too discouraging,"

Ricky put on a sad face.

"Come on! I know you very well. I've seen through all your tricks. You can't try anything on me. Let's stop here. You'd better put all your effort into the test and figure out how to get past the stairs," Tyson said, ignoring Ricky's poor acting.

"Well then, I guess it won't be an easy task, right?"

Ricky asked calmly.

"Yes. The other Royal Sky Guards will spare no effort in obstructing you as you go all-out," Tyson said.

"How many guards are there?"

"Three in total. We Royal Sky Guards could volunteer to stand guard. If there are no volunteers, our Chief will choose three representatives herself. Of course, Kristen and I are excluded because of our relationship with you."

"I understand. I'm afraid that Maxine will take advantage of that and give me a hard time."

"You're right. For all I know, Maxine had asked her partner, Lucas, to be one of the three guards. Lucas ranked second among us Royal Sky Guards. He's not easy to deal with.

If everything goes well, I would guess he had already broken through the demi-immortal," Tyson guessed.

"Well then, I hope he won't disappoint me," Ricky said in return. "Come on, you conceited guy," Tyson couldn't help but shake his head at the response and complain.

He then continued, "I have good news for you. One of Kristen's followers is among the three. He won't let you suffer, at least.

Besides the two, another guy would be appointed by the Chief. I believe you would do well, no matter who the opponents are, but you need to be wary of Lucas and the one the Chief appoints—they will be your strongest opponents."

"I get it. That's very nice of Kristen," Ricky said with a smile.

Suddenly, a dozen figures appeared. The Chief of the Sky Manor seemed to be the oldest, while the rest seemed younger—they were all Royal Sky Guards.

Unsurprisingly, Maxine was among them. While glaring harshly at Ricky, she whispered to a handsome young man who stood beside her. After which, the man cast a scornful glance on Ricky.

'He looks like a dangerous guy, ' Ricky thought.

The other Royal Sky Guards had their eyes fixed on him, not only because he was the last Royal Sky Guard, but because they heard that he was in conflict with Maxine.

Needless to say, as Maxine's good friend, Lucas wouldn't simply let this newbie get off easy. Everyone was curious as to what was about to unfold. After all, Ricky was also a strong fighter. 'Would he be a match for three Royal Sky Guards? Let's wait and see!' they all thought.

"This is Russell, the thirty-sixth Royal Sky Guard. You all must be familiar with the rules here. Firstly, I need one man to guard the twelfth stair. Any volunteers?" the Chief of the Sky Manor asked.
