Crossroad. Temple. I had numerous conversations with King Poseidon. Nameless’s corruption, the Demon King’s return, the state of the Lake Kingdom, and future plans… And also about King Poseidon’s retirement. He had expended all his physical and mental strength in the last battle against the black dragon. His current appearance, having aged significantly, was proof…

The Demon King opened his eyes. His face, formed of shadows, displayed two hazy outlines of eyes. Struggling, he raised his shadowy body from where he lay submerged in a tar-like black liquid. Refined nightmare. Here, the dreams of millions of citizens from the Lake Kingdom were collected, extracting only the deepest nightmares. Within this…

The Jörmungandr I hurled with all my might soared into the sky with a swishing sound. Of course, with my usual strength, it would have been impossible, but the serpent sensed my intention and coiled its body, launching itself upward. Simultaneously, Flash-! Jörmungandr used [Shell of the Old God]. The effect of [Shell of the…

After that, the battle could be easily handled for a while using the royal scepter. We designated enemy legions that we could snipe the weaknesses of based on our current situation, applied the dark event to amplify those weaknesses, and then took them down one by one using appropriate strategies. *** Stage 42. The designated…

Witnessing this, Zenis wiped away tears of joy. “Sob, my son is the best…” It seems he’s proud of Hannibal’s achievement. Seeing…

One hundred giant Phantom Knights were annihilated in an instant. Apart from the first Phantom Knight that briefly touched our magical wall, none of them managed to approach us. They simply crumbled under our relentless magical bombardment. “Confirming enemy monster annihilation!” On the scorched ground, heated by the fallen magic, all the Phantom Knights were…

Stage 41 Day. Our forces, having deployed in advance, were camped not far from the Black Lake. There were several reasons for choosing this location to confront the enemy. Firstly, due to the Black Dragon invasion, all the teleport gates in the area were destroyed, leaving only a few functional ones. The lakeside ferry was…

Since I could adjust the stage configuration to my liking, I could have chosen much easier monster legions. Nevertheless, the reason I deliberately chose the named monster, the Phantom King’s legion, was simple. ‘To maximize the benefits.’ Accumulating benefits now would serve as insurance later. So, while I can exploit this cheat of the royal…

“So, it’s like this.” After hearing a few more explanations from Aider, I summarized. “The Demon King is hosting this game, ‘Doom Revelry,’ and you were the opposing player. Now, having run out of power, you’ve handed over the role to me, the proxy player.” “Yes.” “And these external gods watching us, the ‘Watchers,’ mostly…

Crossroad Square. Although restoration was progressing rapidly, there were still more ruins than anything else. Zenis and Hannibal were walking side by side on the main street. “Hehe, everyone seems so youthful…” Zenis, who had been talking about what had happened at the gathering, chuckled and then looked at Hannibal. “By the way, Hannibal, don’t…
