Chapter 16

The team leader maintained his calm and made precise decisions. He calmly ordered the tanks to retreat when he sensed the bear would unleash a skill.

His teammates were amazed at how he was able to swiftly give orders to the team. After admiring him, all of them gave their best.

The team leader, Aron, smiled, seeing their full cooperation. It didn't take long before they dealt the final blow, making the bear cry in defeat as it lost its life.

[Congratulations on passing the nightmare level trial. We will issue three server announcement. Do you wish to hide your name?]

"No need."

Aron did not attempt to hide it as he knew he still couldn't surpass the prestige of the number one player.

[Announcement: Player Aron has successfully passed the Nightmare Level Class Advancement Trial. As the first team to pass the Nightmare trial in 'Tensura', every party member will be rewarded increase in stats by 5, and 2 luck.]

[Announcement: Player Aron has successfully passed the Nightmare Level Class Advancement Trial. As the first team to pass the Nightmare trial in 'Tensura', every party member will be rewarded increase in stats by 5, and 2 luck.]

[Announcement: Player Aron has successfully passed the Nightmare Level Class Advancement Trial. As the first team to pass the Nightmare trial in 'Tensura', every party member will be rewarded increase in stats by 5, and 2 luck.]

Several players were amazed at how they were able to pass the nightmare level, as some of them even failed to face the last boss. As it possesses tremendous HP and defense, but not compared to the skeleton knight, with which they can only deal with 1 digit damage.

However, their reactions were not like when the announcement was about the number one player, as many of them experienced the hell of the abyss level. None of them passed, as none of them possessed the hidden piece that was set up by the developers.

The development team of Atlas Corps designed the trial to be passed when a player possesses a certain piece. The Legendary Class.

They specifically made the abyss level for legendary classes to make use of the abnormal status resistance and other abilities of the legendary class. They made it this way as they designed the game so that only legendary class players should possess the Badge of Heroes, which one lucky player possesses.

If the players knew the reason, they would have totally been enraged by how unreasonable the developers were, but sadly, none of them knew.

Aron and his team rejoiced after finally completing it despite experiencing several failures. As a matter of fact, all the players in the team were top notch as they possessed good sets of skills and none were noobs in them.

It was as if all the good players gathered into one team, as all of them were solo players at first but banded together during the trial as they were the second to exit the beginner village after Zephyr.

It meant that all of them were skilled enough to be ahead of billions of players all around the world. All of them liked their synergies. It was at this trial that the best guild were formed for the future.

Before they could look at the loot, all of them disappeared from the trial ground and appeared at their respective class instructors.

Zephyr was still strolling around with his little buddy. Zephyr then glanced at it, who was curiously watching everything while it was lying on his head.

'Now that I think about it, I haven't given this fella a name.'

Zephyr then thought for a moment and then stopped and talked to his partner for a moment.

"Tetsuya, I'll call you Tetsuya or Tetsu from now on."

[Do you want to set the kyuubi's name to 'Tetsuya'?]

'Yes.'

[The kyuubi's name has been set to Tetsuya.]

[Affinity with Tetsuya has risen by 5.]

As if he liked his name very much, Tetsuya tightened his grip on Zephyr's head as if he was hugging him. Zephyr was pleased to see its reaction and then decided to go into the wild.

Zephyr traveled outside of White Tiger City for almost two hours as he ran around. With his agility and stamina, Zephyr was able to travel around 15 kilometers, and his speed was on par with that of a car.

With his super sensitivity, Zephyr felt there was something around and decided to search for it for a while. Zephyr trusted his intuition as his super sensitivity had increased again after receiving the rewards.

Zephyr then saw a cave just beside a stream and decided to go inside. He then went and discovered that one needed to swim first before they could enter. Zephyr was sure this would be a tourist attraction if this place were discovered on earth.

Zephyr asked Tetsuya if it was okay for him to go in the water, but he didn't seem scared in the water, which Zephyr expected.Zephyr dived and swam until he crossed and went inside.

The moment he exited the water, he was amazed at the scene inside the cave. The cave was full of blue crytals everywhere. He was amazed at the amazing sight, as he didn't expect there would be a place like this.

Tetsuya felt the same way about having to witness such an incredible scene while being born on the same day.

[You have discovered the hidden dungeon, 'Blue Orichalcum Cave'.]

[You are the first to make this discovery.]

[You have made an achievement that is not easily accomplished. Additional karma will be provided.]

[You have acquired 100 karma.]

[You have acquired 150 additional karma.]

[All experience gained inside the dungeon will be doubled for the next 5 days.]

[The item drop rate inside the dungeon is also doubled for the next 5 days.]

Zephyr then casually picked up a piece of crystal and suddenly,

[You have acquired blue orichalcum ore.]

'Hmmm. Interesting.'

Zephyr then picked up some ores as he made his way deeper into the cave.

[You have acquired blue orichalcum ore.]

[You have acquired blue orichalcum ore.]

[You have acquired blue orichalcum ore.]

[You...]

Tetsuya also went down and picked some ores to satisfy his curiosity. As soon as he picked the ores up, they disappeared and entered Zephyr's inventory. He was amazed that Pet could also pick items, but he didn't order Tetsu to pick ores and just let him play.

Zephyr gathered over 100 blue orichalcum ores in total as it was still increasing as Tetsuya was happily picking ores up.

Zephyr sighed about the number and decided to forge a sword and armor from the ores if he met a blacksmith. Not knowing his decision would end up creating a legendary sword and set of equipment.

Zephyr continued to go deeper until he saw a book in the corner. Its color was purple, with a golden aura radiating from it. The aura resembles the aura radiating from his legendary sword.

Out of curiosity, Zephyr picked up the book.

[Legendary Archmage Diary]

Rating: Legendary

[Diary of the Legendary Archmage Ian.]

He had no other description and he thought it was an ordinary diary, but he thought it wouldn't make sense if the item was legendary.

Zephyr then calmly read the book.

[I have reached the pinnacle of magic yet I was faced with a great problem. My lifespan was running out.

Despite being the legendary archmage, I can't escape the concept of lifespan. I have accepted my fate and decided to have a successor.

I have to choose a successor soon, however none has caught my eyes. I couldn't decide in the end. Well it's not like I have one anyway.

Humanity is currently at peace so I'm sure there's no need to rush. Soon, I'm sure my successor will appear someday.]

Zephyr closed the book after reading it, and it ended with that sentence. Suddenly, a notification appeared in front of Zephyr.

[The second class 'Legendary Archmage' has been acquired.]

[You are the first player to achieve two legendary classes!]

[The title 'Journey to the Myths' has been acquired!]

[5 stat points will be forcibly invested into intelligence every time your level goes up.]

[You have made an achievement that is not easily accomplished. Additional karma will be provided.]

[You have acquired 1,000 karma.]

[You have acquired 1,500 additional karma.]

A game developer stared at the monitor blankly. Kevin Lewis's expression in his face was uncomprehendable as his eyes widened. Then, after a while, various emotions flooded within him at once.

'Hooh!'

He sighed deeply, trying to forcibly calm down his rampant emotions. It took him a while to calm down. He then turned his attention to Dan Santiago.

"Team Leader!"

Kevin Lewis tried to tell his superior but did not listen to him. He clenched his teeth and called again, a little louder this time.

"Team Leader!"

"Hmm, what?"

"Something bad happened to him."

"What do you mean?"

Dan was left confused and asked once more to clarify.

"Legendary Archmage."

Dan was very surprised at his words. He stood and looked at the monitor with widened eyes, as if he had seen a very ridiculous thing.

He then sat back and sighed. While he was still in deep thought, Kevin asked him.

"To possess two top legendary combat classes, a legendary item, and a legendary pet. Won't the balance of the game be broken? "

Dan then glanced at the monitor again and replied weakly.

"There's no such thing as balance and equality in the world. Talented and lucky people will only widen the gap."

Kevin didn't rebuke as what Dan said was totally true. He then looked up and thought about what would happen in the future.

Zephyr stared at the notifications that were still not stopping.

Zephyr looked and was silent for a while as he wondered if this day was his lucky day. He had just gotten a legendary pet, blue orichalcum ores, a second legendary class, and an amazing title by chance.

Zephyr then mumbled expressionlessly.

"It seems like I'm a paragon of luck or that lady luck is lifting her skirt for me or something."

"Right Tetsu?"

Kyooh

Tetsuya answered Zephyr in an adorable manner. Zephyr, who was already a Sword Saint, also became The Legendary Archmage. A player who is now the strongest swordsman and strongest magician.

As a human from the modern world, Zephyr was a little excited to be able to use both swordsmanship and magic at the same time. It was at this moment that the Sword Saint of the current era became even stronger than the Sword Saint of the past.

The demons who tasted despair from the past generation's Sword Saint will taste even more despair from the current Sword Saint.
