Chapter: Chapter 2: New Century (Epilogue)
Sakura looked at the armor on the table and, after a slight hesitation, put it on as if she were imitating someone.
“Mmm… it smells like Your Majesty Winter…”
The rabbit-eared girl slapped her chest on the desk, her mind going blank for a moment.
The soft lining of the Dragon Crystal Armor made her feel as if her whole body was enveloped in Xi Wei’s embrace.
“Wooooo, if this continues, how will I ever get any work done~”
A half-happy, half-wretched murmur came from Sakura in the clear and cold castle palace.
……
Meanwhile, Xi Wei directly activated the Legendary-grade mission.
Due to the unclear situation in Kalun, he was prepared for a protracted war.
On the surface, Kalun had a Demigod-level alchemical puppet, but such openly displayed assets were often what enemies were willing to show.
Who knew if they had any other trump cards?
Furthermore, now that Kalun’s Truth Council was linked with the Old Ones, they had to be even more cautious.
Xi Wei did not intend to tear open space and jump directly onto Kalun’s doorstep.
Such an action was too reckless. With Ruo Yi’s help, even a forced march would not take much time.
……
“Oh~ what a rare thing, a mission of such a large Legendary-grade, and the King of Winter isn’t leading the team himself?”
“Yes, I agree with you. I mean, what is that guy Oscar? I’ve never even heard of him~”
On the wilderness outside Winter City, the player army had already assembled.
However, no player had yet undergone the Class Change to Fear Demon King, mainly because the conditions for the Class Change were too outlandish.
One had to go to the Abyss and slay a Balrog to obtain its heart.
Not to mention that they couldn’t even get to the Abyss, a creature like a Balrog, which was above its level, could not be dealt with by less than seven or eight top-tier players.
Just as the players were discussing animatedly.
“Crackle—”
The city gates of Winter City suddenly opened.
A tall, black-armored knight emerged from the city gates. His majestic and imposing figure was like that of a giant beast. The black Dragon Scale Armor made a metallic clanking sound as he walked. Each step he took left a deep imprint on the grass, indicating that this black-armored knight was definitely a heavyweight, both in terms of himself and his armor.
Xi Wei had disguised the King of Conquest Long Sword, allowing Bryant to showcase the characteristics of the Red Dragon Soul.
The entire long sword had turned a deep red, like a greatsword wreathed in blood-red light. Coupled with the black armor intricately carved with demonic skulls, it gave a striking resemblance to the Lich King.
Behind Xi Wei followed Lori and Ruo Yi, who had also undergone some disguise.
After becoming Demigods, they could freely adjust their forms, shifting between Little Radishes and mature women.
Their voices and physiological structures would also change accordingly.
Don’t ask Xi Wei how he knew; ask and you’ll be told that “practice is the sole criterion for testing truth.”
When Xi Wei stopped in front of the players, a terrifying aura was released from the armor. The previously noisy players immediately fell silent.
The first time they met the King of Winter, the players felt for the first time that there were NPCs who could give them a sense of being unattainable and only worthy of admiration.
But now, seeing this black-armored knight, the players felt like ants standing before an elephant, not even enough to be stepped on by a single foot.
The girls accompanying the black-armored knight on either side were also very mysterious. They were almost the same height, wore silver-white masks, and cloaks of moon-white, revealing only their chins. Their auras were very mysterious, and based on their figures, they were not any of the maids from Winter Fort.
Where did this black-armored knight and the mysterious girls come from?
These questions arose in the minds of the players simultaneously.
Nobody Does Human Things’ teeth chattered and gnashed. He was standing closest to the black-armored knight and directly facing him. From the moment the black-armored knight stood before him, he felt an irrepressible urge to kneel on the ground in prostration.
However, he ultimately refrained and quietly used an Appraisal technique on the black-armored knight.
【Name: ???】
【Strength: ???】
【Skills: ???】
【Equipment: ???】
【Reputation: ???】
“Holy crap?! o(ﾟДﾟ)っ!” Nobody Does Human Things was stunned.
Having been in the game Cain Continent for so long, this was the first time he had ever encountered an NPC whose information was entirely question marks.
This NPC was golden, just like the King of Winter.
But at least the King of Winter had a name visible!
Could this NPC be even more formidable than the King of Winter?
He then used the Appraisal technique on Lori and Ruo Yi.
Lori and Ruo Yi were already Demigods, so they could naturally fabricate their identities at will. With the players’ Appraisal technique skill level, they certainly couldn’t see through it.
【Name: Mirror】
【Others: ???】
This was Lori’s information.
【Name: Moon】
【Others: ???】
This was Ruo Yi’s.
It wasn’t just Nobody Does Human Things who was shocked; all the other players were as well, but this was soon followed by even greater excitement.
The appearance of three golden mysterious NPCs indicated what?
It meant that this Legendary mission would definitely be extremely grand and magnificent!
The King of Winter had simply dispatched his secret troops!
“I… I am the commander of this expedition, Oscar Kingston. All subsequent war deployments will be based on my command!!”
Only Xi Wei in the entire Winter City could refer to himself as “I” in such a manner. He had almost slipped up just now, but fortunately, the players hadn’t noticed. They still looked dumbfounded.
“Our goal is to collect debts, so before the war begins, each of you must remind yourselves to show no mercy. We want blood debts paid in blood!!”
Holding up the King of Conquest Long Sword, Xi Wei’s aura reached its peak magnificence.
“Blood debts paid in blood!”
One person shouted in response, and the remaining players were immediately stirred and roared in unison:
“Blood debts paid in blood!!!”
“Kill, kill, kill!”
In reality, many of them had already forgotten what grudge they held against Kalun.
“Very good, I will open a Teleportation Gate for you shortly!”
Xi Wei scanned the sea of players like a super BOSS. Then, he nodded to Ruo Yi.
The next moment, with a slight lift of Ruo Yi’s hand, a golden light enveloped Xi Wei and Lori completely.
With a “buzz—”.
The Divinity of Time stirred, creating a faint clock-like aura.
To the stunned eyes of the players.
The three of them vanished without a trace, like falling leaves.
This was not spatial teleportation. Ruo Yi had accelerated time, taking Lori and Xi Wei directly across the Death Desert into the South Continent. However, they stopped as soon as they arrived in the South Continent.
