87 Chapter 87_ Undefeated King (3)

Chairman Lim Cheolho was staring at the monitor. He was so focused that there seemed to be a glare coming from his eyes.

[Quest SH100B7 has been triggered.]

Chairman Lim Cheolho's eyes widened as he heard Morpheus' words.

"By whom?"

In fact, it was a nonsensical question. Quest SH100B7. It was a quest activated when a legendary class entity reached the 25th island of the Contaminated Heben Archipelago. At this point, there were only two legendary classes players.

Greed and Yura but both of their levels were still too low while Yura has just recently acquired the legendary class, Demon Slayer. Even Greed's current self couldn't clear the Contaminated Behen Archipelago quest.

[Codename J - 031213.]

The S.A Group gave codenames to NPCs. It was for convenience. The arrangement of the code intuitively told them the function and role of the NPC. Only a very small number of NPCs was given nicknames instead of codenames. It was because they had special personalities, so the nicknames could be remembered even after hearing it once.

"That child is attempting to clear the Contaminated Behen Archipelago?" Chairman Lim Cheolho muttered in a low voice. Satisfy is a virtual game that he created. It was a world intended for the players but now, the NPC who was an anomaly was now clearing this place where a hidden piece was placed.

A short time later, Lexus and his clone's battle began. At that time, Chairman Lim Cheolho's hand moved diligently. It was to change the perspective of the screen. This time, the camera was looking down from the sky.

'He was truly extraordinary...'

In the fight against his clone with superior stats, Lexus wasn't pushed. He even overwhelmed the clone. Lexus had won against such his own clone with relatively no struggle and even experienced a reawakening.

'He won against the clone that is programmed with the collected data of pro gamers or rankers...'

"We created a monster." Chairman Lim Cheolho admired him. A powerhouse of the continent that is a strong person in Satisfy's Worldview. In Satisfy's worldview means that the person must be widely known for their power.

He was an NPC with an OP potential but he was supposed to die in a story event before his potential blossomed. In other words, he has the limitless potential that was meant to be eliminated with him.

"He even made Piaro would grow to that extent."

It wasn't enough to create a new legendary class, which was different from the nine legendary classes that were inherited. Piaro's current appearance was contradictory to the original plan. 'Originally, he was a key character prepared for the Empress Marie, Episode 3 storyline, as well as the people's alliance storyline.

With just a single encounter, he made Piaro a legend by letting him beat Lich Mumud that attained the status of a legend at that time. The perquisite of becoming a Sword Saint.

Satisfy was a game with a large degree of freedom. Despite the creator of this game, Chairman Lim Cheolho was captivated by the young legend's journey. With eagerness, he was planning to monitor Lexus in real time.

•~×~•

With that, his Death Legion became even more stronger. At the same time, various pieces of informations began to flow into Lexus, and became a torrent.

« By the name of Ciel, the one who integrates skills... Beginning the process right away! ! »

Just after Lantier became bound to the Black Bracelet, Ciel began synthesizing the abilities of Lantier through the connection that was established.

With fearsome speed, the synthesis quickly ended.

[The seventh legendary class, Legendary Assassin Lantier has been obtained.]

[The darkness in your shadows will cause a death without any screams.]

[This world announcement was concealed by Divine Wisdom Core: Ciel.]

Lexus shows a sign of joy in response to this success. This was the result obtained through calculations and possibilities by Ciel.

"...I will obtain all of the legendary death knights remaining on the islands."

The final group of islands in the Behen Archipelago were islands 61st to 66th. The bosses of the 60th islands have to be limited in order for the plot to progress, otherwise Behen Archipelago's story would not be resolved if bosses could regenerate indefinitely.

He received the surprise attack of the guardian of the 62nd island, Demon Slayer Alex. The attack speed of Alex was 0.25. He could attack four times per second since he could shoot four shots every second. Due to a gun's high level of accuracy compared to other weapons, an average individual would not have been able to handle Alex's unexpected attack.

[Death Knight Alex has been defeated!]

[You have succeeded in beating the 62nd island!]

[Alex's Magic Engineering Bayonet (Produced by Pagma) has been acquired!]

[Alex's Quick Gloves (Produced by Pagma) have been acquired!]

[As a reward for cleansing the island, you have gained one level!]

Lexus simply used his Black Bracelet to restrain Death Knight Alex, the famed Demon Slayer, just like what he did to Lantier on the 61st island. The fact that they had lost most of their life skills after becoming death knights is the main reason he was able to subjugate them.

Their level and base stats had considerably decreased from when they were alive. They are frail compared to when they were alive, but ever since Pagma, their master, vanished, they have grown weaker. Since they were unable to even apply skills, it is dreadful to call them legends.

This was the reason Lexus didn't have much hope of conquering them. The immortality passive that the death knights had when they were alive is no longer present when one special talent of the legendary classes was immortality.

Here, the legendary death knights are too feeble to qualify as legends. That was, of course, in comparison to former legends. While the death knights in this area are less powerful than they when they were alive, these legends are but ghosts of the past. Though only few people alive today have the ability to overcome the death knights in this place and can defeat the death knights here.

Death knight. Their reasoning abilities might be lost, but their fighting skills in the past were fully preserved. The intruder was a great demon. Protect the Behen Archipelago from the great demons and save humanity. This was the command that Pagma, their summoner, gave them and was the driving force behind the Death Knights.

[You have defeated Death Knight Povia, guardian of the 65th island!]

[The 65th island has been cleansed!]

[As a reward for cleansing the island, you have gained one level!]

[The Elf Bow Thimble (Made by Pagma) has been acquired.]

[World Tree's Necklace has been acquired.]

The legendary tailor Kruger guarding the 63rd island, the legendary miner Gis that protects the 64th island and the legendary archer Povia that guards the 65th island. After spending quite of his time, Lexus finally reached the final island.

Of course, he has become a lot stronger as he received their legendary classes as well, thanks to Ciel's abilities. With that, Lexus is now in possession of all the nine legendary classes, making it ten including the magic swordsman of the epics.

All the items that Lexus gained in the course of attacking the islands in the 60's were amazing. The value of all the items was enormous. The Behen Archipelago was a treasure house in itself.

"Hey, Undefeated Master."

Prior to entering the 66th island, Lexus called the ego in his sheath.

「 Say it, kid. 」

"Do you know the next opponent I'll be facing?"

「 ... 」

Despite his silence, Lexus didn't rushes him.

「 I died unhappily and was murdered by my own son. 」

"...."

「 Things are starting to make sense to me now that I'm aware of what Pagma has been through and what he has done in the past. 」

It was ridiculous. Such tragedy couldn't exist in the world. Coincidentally, this was the reality they lived in that they wanted so badly to deny. Incidents where blood kin harmed each other were common in history and modern society.

'Even an ancient man of power...'

The reason why Prince Rajandra hurt Madra wasn't because of bad feelings. On contrary, he loved and admired Madra but as an undefeated being, Madra believed he could defend Lubana for eternity. However, Prince Rajandra knew that Madra was a human and would someday die from old age.

Prince Rajandra was worried about after Madra's death. At the time, just Madra's existence alone caused the empire to continuously invade and Lubana was swept up in it. The more war there was, the higher Madra's reputation became. However, the people of Lubana were torn to shreds.

Prince Rajandra asked this of Madra several times. For the people of Lubana, for the future of Lubana, let's make peace with the empire. But this request was ignored every time. Madra condemned Rajandra as a coward and was disgusted by him. Time passed and Madra became a white-haired old man.

When Madra was in his last years, Rajandra's nervousness reached its peak... Apart from Prince Rajandra, all the nobles, knights, soldiers, and people were nervous and afraid. They thought that Lubana would be destroyed once Madra died and begged Prince Rajandra to take action. And so, Madra's head was given to the empire.

In the process, the Lubana Kingdom became the empire's possession. Prince Rajandra kept the lives of the royal family and the Lubana people in return for giving his father Madra's head to the empire. He might've lost his kingdom, but he was alive. After that, Madra's head was said to have hung at the gate of Titan, capital of the empire, for one year.

It was a poor ending for the person who protected his kingdom all his life and was praised as the Undefeated King. But at the same time, he could understand the position of Prince Rajandra and the people of Lubana. Of course, he couldn't advocate for what they did. But Madra couldn't think from the position of the weak and was overconfident in his own strength.

「 If only I didn't have such a personality, this wouldn't have happened. 」

It was nothing but history. It already happened and the result was now. People lived in the present. They could learn from history.

People had heard that Sword Saint Muller was the strongest person in the last decades. Of course, Lexus was the same. In addition, according to Sticks, the Behen Archipelago was the succession site connecting past legends and present legends. In other words, legends existed before the legends of the previous generation that people knew.

Legends classified as sword saints, magicians, archers, assassins, blacksmiths, tailors, and miners were likely to have passed down their legacy for quite some time. But what about the Demon Slayer and Undefeated King? Alex had a grudge against great demons and cried out for the destruction of hell, while Madra was a legend because he had never been defeated. They were people who pioneered a new path, like the current Piaro.

Grid couldn't rule out the possibility of them being more distinguished than other legends. Demon Slayer Alex had 'hell restriction' as a powerful force and might've seemed a bit weaker on the Behen Archipelago. But it was absolutely impossible for Madra to be the same.

'The last boss is always the strongest.'

Duguen!Duguen!

Lexus's heart thumped as he moved to the 66th island. Lexus was looking forward to finally meeting the original one who had never been defeated.

[You have entered the 66th island.]

[You deserve praise for reaching this place.]

[Give rest to the last remaining hero...]

The guardian of the 66th island was the last remaining hero. It was right to interpret that the legend who became a death knight was also in a painful position.

That's it. The 66th island was a stage without small stones and bushes. It was just flat ground. There was no place to hide and the terrain couldn't be taken advantage of when facing the enemy.

-A place where you can't use shallow tricks.

Madra was the ultimate warrior before he was a genius strategist. A place for a one on one match with no variables is the best for a guy like him. In the first place, he can achieve a perfect victory on any terrain.

Step.

Step, step.

A death knight wearing majestic armor was slowly approaching. There was an amazing sense of power from the gait, despite it only being a body made of bones. The name 'Madra' clearly appeared in gold above the head of the death knight in majestic armor.
