Chapter 826
There was no one among the Athenae players that did not know who Alexander was. He was among the best of the top rankers and was once hailed as the Supreme.
Alexander remembered clearly how frustrated he was in the Supremes’ Plain after failing to clear the Eight Pillars’ Class Weapon Master’s Class Change Quest over and over again. The difficulty was just too high for him.
Back then, Alexander only had one chance left. If he failed, then he would not be able to change his class to Weapon Master. On top of that, his level would drop by at least ten levels.
For high rankers, a decrease of ten levels was equivalent to their downfall. It did not matter how outstanding or powerful the ranker was, they would still be pushed out of the top 1,000 in the rankings and it would be extremely difficult for them to recover.
That was when he approached him.
—Shall we have a meal?
He was the man that Alexander was chasing after. This man had been weaker and less known than Alexander before. But at some point, he grew rapidly. Unexpectedly, the man that Alexander was chasing after was the one that lent him a helping hand.
—What I want in return is something simple. Help me and the Beyond the Heavens Kingdom.
Alexander actually wanted to say no. After all, Minhyuk’s defeat in the battle in Edea and the Beyond the Heavens’ fall with the war against the Luvien Empire might happen at the same time. Even if he did not make a move, the current Supreme might fall at any given moment.
On the other hand, he did not like that. Alexander actually knew the reason why. Minhyuk’s existence was giving him the determination and the driving force to run faster and to chase after him. On top of that, he might also climb to the ranks of the Supremes if he gained the power of the Weapon Master.
So, Alexander accepted Minhyuk’s request and ate the meal that he prepared. After that, he cleared the Eight Pillars’ trial. Back in the present, he smashed Valentino’s Shield Wall.
Slash, slash, slash, slash, slash, slash, slash—!
Whatever weapon it was, as long as it existed in the world, they were under the control of Alexander. Just like that, tens of thousands of weapons shot toward the Shield Wall and ripped it apart.
Valentino looked surprised as they watched Alexander gently land on his feet. In fact, he was not the only one that was surprised. The entire Jade Emperor’s Coalition Army was taken aback.
[A— Alexander...?]
[It’s Alexander.]
[Alexander, who gave up the throne of the Supreme, has— has just invoked the ‘God’s Voice!’]
[After he invoked God’s Voice, Alexander declared himself as the ‘Supreme!’]
[That declaration obviously has a lot of connotations. Perhaps it is a declaration aimed at Food God Minhyuk. Now, the ‘Throne of the Supreme’ is mine again!!!]
[From what I heard, ATV Broadcasting Station’s viewership ratings have soared beyond 44% now!!!]
[Aaah. That should be the natural result. Everyone is waiting to see the changes of Alexander after reaching Level 600. And that’s not all. As he declared that he is a Supreme, he also declared that he’s standing on Edea’s side!]
[We still don’t know who the true Supreme is. I don’t know if this is the right expression to describe the situation.]
[Two Supremes are protecting Edea!!!]
Mumble, mumble, mumble—
A commotion broke out among the Jade Emperor’s Coalition Army. Please visit fr𝐞𝐞w𝒏.𝒸𝑜𝔪 website to read fastest update
The notifications about the new Eight Pillars’ Class, the Weapon Master, had actually rung quite a while ago. Everyone had tried to guess who it was, but none of them knew, until now.
Then, someone said, “I— I knew it... Alexander must be the owner of the greatest sword in the world!!!”
“Wh— what?!”
“He’s the owner of the sword that has cut even an Eight Pillars?!”
“Come to think of it, Alexander’s sword has changed, right?!”
Alexander’s sword had definitely changed, which served to prove the assumptions of all of the people present.
“That’s right. Since he’s a Weapon Master, then that means that he can handle the greatest sword in existence, right?”
“He definitely got the sword from one of the Eight Pillars when he changed his class to Weapon Master.”
“That’s crazy. Then, does that mean that Alexander has become the true Supreme?”
“...”
Alexander was left speechless. Yes, it was true that his sword was given to him by the previous Weapon Master. However, that was the only thing that they got right. Everything else was wrong.
Alas, it was not just the people present that were wrong in their assumptions. Even the viewers that were watching the broadcast of this battle were cheering loudly, thinking that they had finally discovered the truth!
‘Alexander is the owner of the greatest sword in existence!’
“...”
Was there even anything that he could say in this situation?
Meanwhile, Valentino gulped dryly. He had awakened just now. The notifications that rang in his ears and the power coursing through his veins were proof of that.
[Congratulations! You have achieved Level 600.]
[Your achievements will be known to the world.]
[Rewards will be given to those that have reached Level 600!]
[All five of your basic stats will increase by 16%.]
[Your physical and magical defense will increase by 40%.]
[Your defensive skills will get 40% better!]
[You have reached Level 600 as the God of Shields!]
[The God of Shields recognizes you as his successor!]
[You have acquired the God of Shields’ ‘Divine Shield Arts.’]
The notifications clearly told Valentino that he was almost 1.4x stronger than before. Especially with the addition of the Divine Shield Arts’ Bentino’s Wall, which had the following effects:
[Bentino’s Wall.]
[Bentino’s Wall, the size of a castle’s wall, will protect you and your allies!]
[You have an additional 8,000% defense!]
[Sword Mastery Skill’s...]
[Sword Mastery...]
[Sword Mastery...]
[Sword Mastery Skill’s Level has exceeded Level 20!]
[Sword Mastery...]
[Sword Mastery...]
[Sword Mastery Skill’s Level has achieved Level 22!]
What was a weapon mastery skill? Mastery was a passive skill that all players possessed. Swordsmen would have sword mastery, archers would have bow mastery, mages would have staff mastery or wand mastery and many more. Basically, every single person had a mastery skill.
Whenever the mastery skill grew, the player would gain additional strength in their physical and skill attacks. For example, if one had a Sword Mastery skill, then when the skill grew, it would greatly increase the power of all of the person’s sword-related skills.
Transcendental’s Mastery. This was the power of the Weapon Master. The notifications that rang before, and would rang from here on out, was proof of the greatness of this skill.
[You have temporarily achieved Sword Mastery Level 22!]
[Your sword will have 75% additional attack and skill attack.]
[All of your sword related skills will be 1.4x stronger.]
[Whenever you swing your sword, your critical hit rate will double!]
[The Transcending Limits’ duration is three minutes!]
A black haze slowly rose from the blades of Alexander’s sword. Seeing this, Valentino, whose Bentino’s Shield had lost all function, quickly pulled out his sub-shield. However, Alexander had already narrowed the distance between them, his sword cutting through Valentino’s shield and inflicting damage upon his body.
[Your HP has dropped below 80%!]
“Keuaaaaaack!”
Valentino was very shocked. He was the God of Shields and that meant among the people present, he had the highest HP and defense. He was even almost 1.5x stronger than before. However, more than 14% of his HP was shaved off by just one of Alexander’s basic sword attack.
The problem was Alexander was swinging his sword non-stop.
Stab, stab, stab— stab, stab, stab, stab—
Alexander moved swiftly and gracefully, his sword stabbing Valentino’s body all over.
“I can’t lose like this!”
[God of Shield’s Will.]
[Your HP and MP has recovered to 100%!]
Valentino’s morale was greatly uplifted after his HP had recovered. In response, Alexander opened his mouth and said, “Reckless Strike.”
Slash, slash, slash, slash, slash—
Reckless Strike was Alexander’s frequently used successive attack skill. It could instantly unleash twenty three strikes with additional 1,500% attack. With Alexander’s Sword Mastery at Level 22, the additional attack of the skill had increased to more than 3,000%.
The Reckless Strike devoured Valentino’s whole body, forcing him down on his knees.
“Keuaaaaaaa...”
Alexander swiftly swung his sword and cut off Valentino’s head the moment he fell down.
Rumbleeeeeee—
At that moment, Master Archer Miao sent out an arrow that turned into a tornado, which almost overturned the ground.
Cracklee—
Alexander, who was in the middle of the storm, received continuous damages. Of course, Miao took this opportunity to unleash her skills relentlessly.
“Exploding Arrows.”
Hundreds of arrows shot toward Alexander.
Clang, clang, clang, clang—!
A sharp and murderous glint, like that of a hawk’s, appeared in Alexander’s eyes as he cut down the arrows coming his way. Then, he pointed his sword at Miao.
“Weapon Eruption.”
Miao saw several weapons appear around Alexander. Then, these spears, swords, iron maces, maces, great swords, katanas, and many other weapons shot toward her.
Stab, stab, stab, stab, stab—
Slash, slash, slash, slash—!
The weapons that pierced through her body immediately exploded upon contact.
Baaaaaaaaaaang—
A huge pillar of dust bloomed as the explosion erupted. When everything settled down, not a trace of Master Archer Miao was left.
Alexander, who was standing in front of Edea’s Allied Forces, looked at the Jade Emperor’s Coalition Army with a strange look on his face.
[A— Alexander forced two players that have reached Level 600 to log out!]
[We have just witnessed a scene that will, without a doubt, prove that he’s once again the Supreme!]
[He’s literally the ‘Supreme!’ He’s Athenae’s Supreme!]
[Breaking news! From what I hear, ATV Broadcasting Station’s viewership rating has exceeded 50%!]
There was not a shred of doubt on the faces of all of the viewers that watched Alexander fight. Now, Alexander was truly the Supreme.
***
At the same time.
[The One that Advances’ Authority’s Bestowing Time has ended!]
[Sword of Aeon has been successfully reinforced and strengthened by +3!]
The one that was sitting on the throne of the Supreme was handed a far more stronger Sword of Aeon.
