"Hand over the crown," said Eleanor, approaching a nearby woman. The latter scratched the back of her head before glancing at the other players who either nodded or cast cold glares in her general direction. They all wondered the same thing; How could she delay the ascendance of the Queen? 'That's some professional boot licking,' thought Arthur. He normally wouldn't mind Eleanor taking the lead, but he couldn't sacrifice the benefits he would receive by being King. Sadly, he was forced to reveal…-

"Anyway, I was going to continue until I was interrupted by two very rude players. Shall we begin?" As soon as the words escaped Hudson's lips, all the players nodded simultaneously, not daring to offend the Guardian as Eleanor had done. Not everyone was as fearless as the daughter of King Bahamut, and could not perform such antics without worrying of their consequences. "The Second Floor is quite peculiar, as one cannot exit the floor once the trial starts until one party has emerged victorious,"…

The Guardian that descended from the pillar of light resembled a humanoid raccoon and seemed to be a hybrid of the two species. He seemed to be famous, as his appearance attracted the attention of almost all the players. His fur was mainly a mix of red and brown but also contained thin streaks of white running across. The white formed various patterns and seemed to represent his identity through complex lines. He was quite lanky and short–about five feet tall. His face was akin to that of an actual…

Once Ferhill gathered all the materials needed for the refinement, Arthur refined all the items in a single day. While the former began restocking rapidly, the latter simply relaxed in his room, refusing to train or do something productive. 'Seven days until I attempt the Second Floor,' thought Arthur. A few hours ago, he traveled to the center of the Outer District and inquired about the timings. It seemed that the next batch would be deployed in a week. Unlike the First Floor, the Second Floor…

After receiving the ring, Arthur returned to the inn, collapsing on the bed as he gazed at the item. The metal was a lustrous, golden hue, while the stone shimmered in a beautiful, velvet color. The ring truly had a majestic appearance and could attract the eyes of most jewelers who were aware of its true value. However, for a warrior, only efficiency mattered. Appearance did not matter in the slightest. What truly mattered was to what extent could the ring assist Arthur during an intense battle?…

As the winds along Arthur's skin, he finally swung Skofnung, decapitating Elder Gabriel. Finally, it had ended. He stared at Gabriel and Feyright's corpses before turning to face Gargo Village, which was in ruins. There was not a single survivor from the village, except the four men who had pursued Arthur. However, they had disappeared. No matter how much Arthur searched after the battle with the two Elders, he could not locate the four men. Eventually, he was forced to give up. So much had…

A wave of flames burst in Gabriel's general direction. The Elder immediately conjured a barrier, causing the flames to split, rushing in two opposing directions. Gabriel then placed his finger on the barrier, causing it to vanish. 'What the…' What he saw after de-summoning the barrier caused his eyes to widen to the size of saucers. With a stupefied expression, he watched as the tip of Arthur's sword pierced Feyright's temple, drawing blood. He tried suppressing his shock but to no avail. The…

"Instead of relying solely on the power of Sword Spirit or mana, try implementing your entire body in attacks," Feyright suggested, easily dodging Arthur's mana-infused thrust of his sword before almost causing the man to lose balance. His golden sword shone like a duplicate of the Sun up above, emitting a blinding light. His entire body was clad in golden armor, which seemed to cover his vital organs, preventing Arthur from finishing him off. Every strike to the armor was nullified, while strikes to…

"I was wondering when you'd react," Arthur admitted, wiping blood from the edges of his lips. He sat on pieces of debris while immense pain coursed across his body. With the hardening of his bones, Arthur hadn't suffered much damage, but even such a meager amount was difficult to heal. When Skofnung had been only a few inches away from piercing Gabriel's heart, Arthur had sensed a sudden influx of energy on the left. Then, as if the rays of dawn blinded him, a sword conjured solely using the abstract…

A banging sound marked the initiation of the final battle. Arthur practically flew across the battlefield, desperate to unleash his wrath–his true power–upon Gabriel and Feyright. No matter how powerful they were, it didn't change the fact that they were merely on their last legs. They would eventually perish, even if Arthur simply left them alone. 'But they're the perfect test subjects for my new abilities,' thought the crimson-eyed man as Skofnung collided with Gabriel's black lance, causing…
