Part 2, Episode 211.
It is chilly. Silence reigns.
No one could open their mouth even once.
Because it was such an overwhelming match.
I didn’t even request a rewind video like slow motion.
Everyone saw it vividly.
Gulp.
How horribly a legion of countless skeletons can trample a single person.
Why the Four Kings are called a one-man army in the truest sense.
The entire process was overwhelming, one-sided, and miserably detailed, without the need for rewinding.
Kugugugu-
Skeleton soldiers push forward with swords, shields, and spears from the front, while skeleton soldiers with bows and staffs provide wide-ranging supporting fire.
Skeleton soldiers holding magic books, presumed to be black magicians, relentlessly laid down floor traps with debuffs and continuous damage.
Boom! Boom!
Above that, boasting an overwhelming size.
A giant skeleton soldier, whose size makes one doubt if he is actually a skeleton, strikes down repeatedly with a massive greatsword whose blade alone is nearly 5 meters long.
The thick dust wind that spreads is swept away by another dust wind and reappears, repeating this cycle.
Taat! Khap!
As if the moniker of “Strongest NPC Ranker” was not just a figurehead.
Gaon also countered with all his might, and his strength was undeniably certain.
Boom!
Because he didn’t back down even a single step while parrying every single one of those massive greatswords.
Rather, it was advancing by pushing forward little by little.
And doing so while rightfully standing up against the combined attack of countless skeleton legions.
[Soul Absorption is activated.]
[Absorbs a portion of the spirit from a defeated opponent to strengthen the caster’s mana and body.]
[Unfolding the Flower of the Soul, the second blossom, ‘Grande Charunda’.]
[Consumes all absorbed spirits to inflict a direct, unstoppable blow to the souls of all targets within a 5M radius.]
True to the name “Flower of the Soul,” the sight of hundreds of mysterious, rose-like blue flowers bursting open all at once around Gaon was truly beautiful.
The scenery was so artistic that even the skeleton soldiers looked like a folding screen, captivating my gaze and leaving me speechless.
After that, Gaon continued to advance without any obstacles.
[Absorb a certain amount of spirits to significantly increase mana and physical abilities.]
… …
[The Flower of the Soul, the third bloom ‘Volusha Lapen’, blooms.]
A giant flower blooming in the center of the stadium.
Just as the petals, piled upon layers scattering a blue light, began to look like the face of a mysterious woman.
—–!!
Pollen was sprayed out, covering the entire stadium.
Click- click-
Grr-
The skeleton soldiers began to creak and tangle with each other as if their bodies were broken.
A technique that reverses the five senses of a wide range of enemies.
As a gap opened up like that, Gaon extended his sword.
Swaaaak-!
Then, a blue flash originating from the point gathered at the tip of the sword shot in an instant toward the Demon King mounted on the shoulder of the giant skeleton soldier.
As the giant quickly blocked with his greatsword, a massive roar shook the arena like an earthquake.
Crack,
When the flash stopped.
A vivid spiderweb was drawn on the blade of that massive greatsword.
Yeah, it was exciting up until this point.
“and…….”
“That’s super strong? What is this?”
“People in the know say Gaon is the strongest member of the NPCs. Is that true?”
Because Gaon, who was not well known and was only heard to be strong through rumors, was showing power beyond imagination.
Maybe Gaon could win?
I heard the rumors were that the Four Kings were so strong, but aren’t they actually nothing special?
Around the time such rumors were circulating and the atmosphere was becoming tense.
Swoosh.
The King rose to his feet for the first time.
The Four Kings, standing leisurely with their small stature, were wearing robes so that even their faces were not visible, but they felt strangely huge.
It must be because an undeniable sense of ease was visible in the slow movements and light hand gestures.
The moment the Four Kings reached out their hands.
Creak, creak.
Everything returned to normal.
The bones of all the soldiers Gaon has dealt with so far have put back together on their own and been restored to their original state.
[Activates the Transcendence Trait ‘Ruler of Death’.]
[The rank of the Commander-in-Chief is overwhelming. The soldiers under his command overcome death and rise up to the present world.]
[I succeeded in overcoming death.]
[It is reconstructed into the form of a skeleton soldier capable of exerting greater power.]
Grrrrrr!!
“……oh my god.”
Stronger than before.
It was such a shock that even Gaon, who had been so dignified all along, was left speechless, his stunned face vividly broadcast on the screen.
From then on, it was a repetition of what had been shown so far.
If Gaon manages to defeat the soldiers and close the distance, the giant skeleton soldier and the Demon King block him using the barrier they activated.
Crunch, crunch.
You resurrect the skeleton soldiers you defeated while approaching, making them even stronger than before.
A truly shocking and despairing battle.
No, this wasn’t a battle.
It is merely a game played by the one who controls death, targeting a single human.
No matter how sharp a sword is, it is bound to break if struck and clashed countless times.
Phew.
As per the immutable law, Gaon was defeated.
It’s boring.
“This, this makes no sense. How can such an illogical method of combat exist?”
You’re boring. You’re so dull, just die.
[Player ‘Gaon’ has been eliminated.]
It was shattered miserably.
All the users who went up with him, and even the other participants.
“-Is this for real? Wait, isn’t Gaon still Chilgang’s top disciple? He’s the top disciple of the Spirit King, no less…”
This is a real secret, but apparently, Gaon was being mentioned as a candidate for the next Seven Kings in a fairly credible source.
-? What kind of bullshit is that? I’m a user, what do you mean by Seven Enhancements?
Do you think the title of the Seven Stars of the Empire is easy? Hahaha. Anyway, look at the level of these guys sucking up to the NPCs. They could have just said they were strong, but they’re going overboard.
-LOL
No, but I did hear about it. Gaon is the only top disciple the King has, but I heard he’s treated practically like a Crown Prince by the NPCs over there. I heard they treat him with extreme deference.
– Honestly, I did see it in passing, too. I was doing a quest in the Empire when I happened to see the King of the Underworld and Gaon together, and all the surrounding NPCs were bowing to them.
-? What is this? Is it real?
Honestly, think about it. Why do so many high-rankers leave their guilds behind and stay affiliated with NPCs? It’s all because the NPC spots will eventually become theirs. They could actually gain real authority.
I wonder… does that even make sense? Yet, somehow, that reason seems understandable.
Come to think of it, it makes sense that the guild is careful not to cause trouble with the NPCs for that reason.
Then just how strong is the Four Kings? Is it realistically possible to defeat them? It’s not like they have infinite refills; they just keep reviving their legions.
There must be a principle behind it. Infinite resurrection without any preconditions doesn’t make sense within the God of Savior system. There must be some risk or condition that needs to be satisfied.
I don’t know about any of that, but theoretically, if we kill everyone, including the monarch, all at once, maybe it’s possible?
-Huh? If you’re the owner of the armory?
Hmm, I don’t think the Demon King would have gone unprepared for something like that… …but that old guy does have a bit of a click to him, so I am curious. Isn’t it a click showdown?
-Click, while serving as a teenage guild master… … .
Just like the audience, or even more so, the chat window was in an uproar.
And Dohyeon’s expression was also more serious than ever.
In some ways, even more so than when looking at the results of the battle of annihilation.
I was never weak.
A user named Gaon.
It would have been a good match even if I had fought against myself.
No, even if it wasn’t him, he was a user skilled enough not to be outmatched by anyone he fought.
Even with just a brief battle, it was sufficiently proven that the position of the Soul King’s successor was not obtained by chance.
Even so, they were no match for me.
A theoretically invincible and strongest legion that does not die even if killed, but rather returns stronger.
If it were me, could I have won against that monster?
… … I am not sure.
“What about you? Jihad.”
-… … .
He is unusually quiet, as if he has been quite shocked.
However, at least those thin, long eyes were sparkling.
Jihad, watching the countless legions of skeleton soldiers reflected on the screen, muttered as if entranced.
“-That’s not Fox, that’s the pinnacle of Zeke… …! Master, I’m glad I became Zeke.”
“…….”
He has such a commanding presence! Even the monarch’s short height makes it so perfect.
It turns out it was a shock from a different side.
Seeing how it’s stuck in a strange place.
Wouldn’t you say it’s high praise in its own way?
Well, that’s that.
Do you think I can win if I fight you?
-Hmm… I’m not sure. I think I’m going to lose right now… Because I can’t revive them like that.
“If not, then you mean it’s doable?”
Ahem! I do hit a little, you know. Even Ttakttak-i is a good fighter, even if he’s cocky. *Cough, cough.*
Dohyeon nodded at Jihad’s words.
To be honest, even if the legions clashed, it seems like Jihad would be pushed back due to the overwhelming difference in numbers, but that is only Jihad as it is now.
I am convinced that the Legion of Jihad, which still has a lot of room for growth, will become stronger someday.
but.
If only I could somehow revive him.
Before facing Annihilation, it would be right to break down the wall known as the Four Kings right now.
Dohyeon, thinking there must surely be some condition, quietly fell into thought.
Even when several more matches were played since then, it was still.
and…….
“Ah! It’s a big match! Perhaps due to the full elimination, some guilds are now playing twice… Is this how the matchups are set up!?”
The iconic figures of the Top 10 Guilds. The Executioner’s Annihilation and the Evil King, a true one-man army who has demonstrated overwhelming power! The two guilds clash!
Waaah-!!
Dohyeon looked up at the commentator’s voice and the boisterous cheers of the crowd.
“Huh? But the Executioner Guild… no one is showing up. Once again, Myeongsal is coming out alone. Of course, Sawang is alone, right?”
“Ah, is this confidence or arrogance? It has become a one-on-one match.”
“It’s a one-on-one match, but Sawang has his own army. You must have seen the match against Gaon earlier; is this okay!?”
Two people were facing each other on the screen.
To be precise, an infinite army of hundreds of skeletons and a uniformed Annihilator standing alone before them like a noble wolf.
Players who are always among the top contenders when discussing the strongest users in God of Savior today.
[5… … ]
[4… … ]
[1… … .]
[The match begins.]
Among them, the Death King and Annihilation receive overwhelming support.
It was the moment the two faced off.
