Chapter 96

[Arena's Divine]

[Given to those who reached Divine Rank in the Arena.

* All stats 550+.]

As Zephyr was about to wonder what kind of reward he would acquire according to the title, system notifications appeared.

[Undefeated Monarch Quest: Completed.]

[Completion Rate: SSS.]

[No experience points can be further added unless you pass a tier advancement.]

[The title 'Undefeated Monarch' has been created.]

[Undefeated Monarch]

Rating: Legendary

[A title given to those who has never experienced defeat even once. The best among the rest.

* All stats will increase by 250% when entering combat situations.

* Grants additional 40% damage to the targets that is recognized as an enemy.

* Abnormal conditions will no longer work on you.

* Infinite stamina when entering combat situations.]

『Kufuahahahaha! A jackpot! I didn't expect that this is a jackpot!』

The title's effects were fraudulent since the conditions for generating the quest were near impossible. His stats increased by 250% when entering every fight. This meant that Zephyr would never easily lose in the future. He wouldn't be able to lose unless he let them win on purpose.

The perfect status immunity also caught his attention. Looking at this effect, Zephyr remembered the time he was casted a skill by Orias, Eliazar, and Nima that he wasn't able to resist even he had the resistance of a legend.

But with this effect, he would no longer suffer like that as he could ignore any abnormal status condition in the future as he was now not just resistant, but totally immune to it.

What attracted him the most was the infinite stamina during a combat. This means that he no longer had to worry about his stamina being depleted and ended up being paralyzed.

One has to know that it is a strategy in a fight or even war to deplete the stamina of the opponent to have the favor in their own and win but with this effect, Zephyr could fight to his heart content without worrying about collapsing in a long duration battle.

Zephyr was ranked first in the arena as of now. Once his current state was combined with the 250% rise in stats together with the buffs he had and with Shiroe, it would be a disaster for any opponent he would face.

'Then let's check out the skill book.'

The title was just the beginning. The other jackpot was the skill book.

[Untouchable Lv.1]

Rating: Legendary

[You are an unparalleled existence in the arena for reaching the highest rank by giving despair to your enemies for not allowing their attacks to reach you.

* Slows the incoming attacks when being attacked by 110%.

Type: Passive

Skill Proficiency: 0%

Skill Resources Consumed: None.

Cooldown Time: None.]

Looking at the description of the skill, Zephyr could imagine the effects with this together with [Infinity Barrier], [Absolute Defense], and the effect of his newly acquired title. If he is previously broken in a fight, with the [Untouchable], Zephyr had become the epitome of invincible during combat.

『Kufuhahahaha! Now I'm more than satisfied. We could now start the process of my return.』

Hearing that, the emotionless Zephyr immediately shifted his attention to what Hyrkan had said.

'I see.'

Knowing Zephyr very well that he might start immediately, Hyrkan continued.

『Maybe you should go away from this place for the meantime. I mean, my return would cause a certain ripple of effects that would attract the attentions of all transcendents. I concluded that this city is not a nice place to conduct my resurrection.』

Understanding what Hyrkan meant, Zephyr decided that it should be better to leave the city first and go to a quiet place. As the strongest transcendent, many transcendents among the Tier 6 would be surely be wary or even afraid about Hyrkan's return.

Especially those who gave it their all and even sacrificed just to seal him. With that in mind, he had an idea where the place is.

The cave where he got the Legendary Archmage's Diary. He was not sure if that place could keep their eyes off but he didn't really care about that. He just want to go to a place that doesn't have many people.

Leaving the Arena and exiting the city walls after a while, Zephyr was now on his way to the hidden dungeon that he discovered by pure coincidence.

As he was on his way, Zephyr suddenly felt something due to his super sensitivity. He paid it attention but didn't bother to do any action about it.

Suddenly several spells were approaching him and looking at it's trajectory, it was clearly targeting him. However with his newly acquired passive skill, the spells takes too long for the magic spells to reach him. Knowing he won't suffer even a bit, Zephyr didn't bother dodging and let it hit him as it caused an explosion.

After being bombarded by several magic spells, Zephyr saw many figures that surrounded him. Intrigued with this, he decided to figure out what predicament he currently is.

Looking around with his [Divine Demonic Arcane Dragonoid's Eyes], he found himself being centered by millions of players. Looking at their expression, it was clear that they were hostile to him.

'An ambush?'

As he was curious what was this about, a teasing voice came from behind.

"What's wrong? Is the number one player afraid of being surrounded by this people and prepared to escape? Don't worry, I'll make sure to have my revenge!"

Zephyr's eyes that was devoid with any emotion turned around. In his line of sight, he saw a man standing in less than 10 meters and had a mocking smile on his face.

'I'm sure I've saw his face before but I don't know his name.'

"You are?"

As Zephyr posed his question, the mocking smile of the man disappeared as he raged.

"How dare you don't know me?! I am Adrian, the Guildmaster of the 1st rate Immortal Guild."

"Never heard of you."

Hearing Zephyr's blatant reply, Adrian's expression turned ugly. He felt extremely humiliated by this. Just like before, when he attempted to invite Zephyr but he was turned down in a humiliating manner.

『Pffft!』

Hyrkan directly broke out in laughter that only Zephyr could hear.

As for the members of the PK Guild, Immortal Guild, their expressions changed with varying degrees.

Not only was Zephyr's words not polite, there was even a clear insulting tone to it. Saying that he didn't knew him, made them opened their mouths wide.

His name was already known throughout all the server of Tensura because of the notoriety of the Immortal Guild and being its Guild Master made him infamous.

As for who these words were aimed for, it was Immortal Guildmasrer's Adrian...Others did not know Adrian's true identity, but some members of the Immortal Guild knew everything.

Adrian was a very, very terrifying person. In their eyes, he was more terrifying than anyone and was a person that could never be offended. As for people that dared to mock him.....Zephyr was the first person to do so.

Due to him being devastatingly defeated in their last encounter, Adrian held a great grudge and hatred towards Zephyr as Zephyr didn't even put him in eyes. He still remembered that terrifying gaze that wanted him to submit.

Even the guildmasters of the other super guilds treated him politely and with respect yet Zephyr treated him as nothing. This made him furious to the core.

As a spoiled young master, he couldn't accept what happened back then at the hands of Zephyr and wanted to pay back the humiliation.

Because of that, the moment that he heard that Zephyr is in the arena again, he immediately ordered all millions of the Immortal guild members to gather and hunt down Zephyr.

With those numbers, all of them waited outside of the city and laid an ambush at Zephyr. Of course all members were skeptical at first but with the imagination of stealing the number one player's high rated items, all of them became even more willing to go.

Besides, the enemy of the guildmaster is the enemy of the whole guild. With all of his guild members, Adrian wanted to see nothing else but make Zephyr suffer in a more humiliating way than his.

"How reckless." An Immortal Guild member gave a cold laugh.

"With these words, even he is the number one player, he is already dead. I'm talking about his real life. Ai, pity, what a pity." another member stroked his brows with movements as light as a woman.

"He is dead for sure...I feel sorry for this interesting little brother." a female guild member with a sinister expression stretched her long, slender finger as she spoke with a regretful tone.

"Daring to provoke him, does he dislike living a long life?" another one said with a cold snort.

With a same calm expression, Zephyr looked at them with a gaze as sharp as a knife. Without saying a word, his eyes then looked back onto those who spoke those words.

As a prideful spoiled young master, Zephyr's words had made Adrian's eyes instantly turn sinister.....That's right, sinister. Everyone talked about sinister eyes, but in this moment, faced with the eyes that Adrian was revealing at this moment, they finally knew.....what sinister eyes were truly like!

It was like touching someone's reverse scales and invoking a wild hatred!

The people of the Immortal Guild did not have so called self control as they were all killers by profession. Blood was rarely seen in this era, so how many true killers were there? They were group of demons that could kill people without blinking an eye.

This was because to kill someone, one had to ignore the target's blood and life, so their blood was cold and their hearts were emotionless. Faced with someone that offended them, they would not choose to say anything and directly take their lives.

"I was about to be kind and forgive you to join my guild but it seems like you don't know how to appreciate my kindness."

Adrian started talking nonsense as he spoke his next words with a clear glint of hatred in his eyes.

"Kill him."

All members of the Immortal Guild was rushing towards Zephyr with greed in their eyes as they were imagining what kind of items Zephyr would drop.

Pointing their weapons, all of them immediately attacked with the intentions to kill.

[You have been attacked by the 'Immortal Party'.]

[You are free to retaliate for 1 hour.]

The players find it strange that all of their attacks were not dealing any damage at all. All the players surrounding the area gasp and everyone forgot to attack because of their shock.....

"Guildmaster.....Guildmaster, Zephyr is still alive.....How is this possible when all of us attacked at the same time, we..." The player with the name "Shirley Sword" above his head ran in front of Adrian and spoke in a flustered voice.

"I can see that, there isn't anything wrong with my eyes." Adrian said as he revealed a grim smile of disdain.

Even he was being attacked by millions of players, Zephyr was still carefree as none of the attacks reached him at all. He then took a breathe as he decided to just make them disappear before they start to really annoy him.

『Fufuhehe! I have an interesting suggestion for you my Bff.』

Hearing Hyrkan, Zephyr decided to listen as he himself was not in a pinch even he was still being bombarded by several attacks.

『Why not try to make all of their corpses as a sacrifice and summon a demon with it. You might obtain a good demon as a subordinate you know.』

Although Demons are the embodiment of evil, they are surprisingly useful when it comes to executing a plan, since they are known to value a properly approved contract. Thanks to the summoning contract demons cannot betray the summoner, given it is reasonable.

When summoning demons, the summoner is required to provide some kind of sacrifice. This can be in the form of pure magic power or living sacrifices. Since demons are constantly attempting to become stronger, either can contribute to their future growth.

However, in most cases, the compensations presented also used as a means to construct at least a temporary body, since as spiritual beings, they will disappear if they are without one in the mortal world.

Naturally, the stronger the demon is, the higher the compensation and magic need to be to summon and create a contract with them. With the suggestion of Hyrkan summoning a demon with sacrificing millions of corpses, it was a guarantee that he could summon atleast a good Arch Demon.

With him being a Demon Lord, he didn't have to worry about the demon disobeying him.

"That's a good idea you have Hyrkan. Now that I have a good reason to fight them, I shouldn't drag this for long."

[The Undefeated Monarch title effect is activated.]

[Proportionate to the number of enemies that are within a 150-metre radius, your Offensive Power will increase by a 20% per enemy.]
