Chapter 76_ Behen Archipelago (3)

Facing Piaro, Asmophel and Greed, Lexus stated.

"Many things, schemes, plots had happened but let me simply say this. A great demon was summoned by someone in the empire to fulfill a contract to overthrow Piaro and Asmophel, the ones who decorated the golden age of the empire. Well the contractor's wish is to become the emperor..."

He suddenly felt being lazy to continue as Lexus know that this will be a long conversation. Although he want to end this quickly, Lexus still had to continue since he already started this.

"The great demon that branded Piaro the stigma of being a traitor, I'm certain that he was too strong to be called a weakened great demon."

The three remained their silence for a while, before Greed spoke while frowning.

"I had fought against Hell Gao, a great demon that was also sealed by Sword Saint Muller in the past so I think we could beat him and clear Piaro's name? So what's..."

While Duke Greed was about to continue, he suddenly paused as he remembered something. In the case of weakened great demons that reappear in the human world, a particular mineral that is connected with the great demon descends as the source of the power. The mineral is needed to appear in the human world.

However unlike the case of Hell Gao that emerged in a closed dungeon, finding that mineral is not an easy thing. Greed remembers that the more time passes and longer the survival period, the stronger the mineral and the demon becomes.

It has been almost 3 years since Piaro was wrongfully branded as an imperial traitor. That just means that the great demon has grown stronger within that years. Greed shivered at the thought of the great demon being at more than level 500. It was an untouchable existence for humanity who has the highest level within at level 300 at the moment.

"Even the Five Pillars of the empire who are stronger than the Red Knights will be easily defeated by him. As of now, there was no hope for humanity if they were to face him right now. This was the overwhelming power of the great demon. despite being sealed by Sword Saint Muller."

Lexus calmly spoke hoping that my words will be engraved in their mind. Prematurely making their move against Great Demon Astaroth would only lead to failure and nothing else.

"The pillars of the empire, all the red and black knights combined will surely loose against the great demon. The empire that dominated the continent will fall?"

Asmophel seriously whispered while holding his chin. It frustrated him that he couldn't do anything at the moment.

"How should I say this. The red knights for me are just a bunch of thugs for the emperor, or to put it nicely they are the emperor's sword and shield. They are nothing more than the weapons of the imperial family."

To honor and protect the people was not the main duty of a red knight, it was to honor and protect the emperor. Piaro and Asmophel was already aware of this but the thought that the forces of the empire would easily crumble against the great demon still lingers in their mind.

Clap!

Suddenly, all of them jolted out with a clap of his hands. As Lexus caught their attention, he smiles and spoke to reassure them.

"Don't worry too much. You guys can have your revenge soon. I don't see its impossible to solve this problem though."

Just like time allows the great demon to grow stronger, time was also by his side. Lexus is someone that could also grow in a monstrous speed. As long as he can obtain the title located in Behen Archipelago, he's confident to face a great demon even if they're at level 600.

"The two of you might not really know this but I'm the ruler of this kingdom. It's just a matter of time before the empire wage war to us but we don't have to fear them."

Lexus says, totally feeling at ease. They have several legends in this side after all. Lexus, Greed and Piaro. He also have four legendary undead creatures under his command so Lexus don't see any scenario that has will lose in the war. Seeing that Piaro and Asmophel let loose of their tensed and serious expressions, Lexus continued.

"You guys can be at ease. You can leave the matter about the empire and that great demon to me. The Sword Saint and the Undefeated King."

The moment Lexus said about being the Sword Saint, Asmophel became surprised about this unlike Piaro who's already aware about this. However, when he mentions about being the Undefeated King, their eyes widened but except for Duke Greed who doesn't know yet about the identity of the legendary undefeated king that the empire couldn't defeat no matter what.

As the former pillars of the empire, they are aware of the fear that Undefeated King Madra has imprinted in the empire's history. Liking their reaction, Lexus continue with confidence.

"It doesn't matter who or what they are. Even if they are great demons and gods, I won't allow anyone to trample my kingdom and its people."

In the new kingdom of Eternal, anyone can become whatever they wish! Everyone will be allowed to study and go to school! No longer would they need to be a noble or a rich merchant to enter school.

Unlike in the empire and other kingdom, you can become anything you want, all the privileges nobles had will cease to exist, and everyone will be treated equally! As long as you have the talent for it, it doesn't matter if you're born a noble, or a commoner you will all be treated fairly.

[You have enlightened and accurately revealed the truth to Piaro and Asmophel. The former pillars of the Saharan Empire.]

[Stats Boost Ticket will be acquired as an achievement reward.]

Enhanced Thought Acceleration.

As Lexus activated the skill, the world around him froze as everything slowed down by more than a million times. Everything became incredibly slow to the point that the three people around him became statues in his eyes.

[Stats Boost Ticket]

[You can sacrifice one of your special stats, all stats including specials and hidden stats will be enhanced to the golden ration.

* Sacrificed special stats will be permanently deleted.]

With a carefree attitude, Lexus brought up the description of the item he apparently obtained for revealing the truth behind the past of Piaro and Asmophel.

[Please choose the special stat to sacrifice.]

Although he's a bit speechless to what Lexus had just obtained, he didn't fret out since time is on his side. The description alone is clear enough for him to understand the purpose of this item.

"Insight."

There's no hesitation. Although it's one of his highest stat, Lexus now had the Dragon's Eye that outclassed the performance of Insight. Although it would be deleted, he didn't lose anything since the performance of Dragon's Eye is way better than Insight stat. Not to mention that he had Super Sensitivity and Keen Intuition.

[Insight stat will now be deleted.]

[All special and hidden stat points are redistributed for the application of the golden ratio.]

[Your stat points are overflowing!]

[All stats have a beautiful golden ratio. The power of the stats will increase.]

As the system messages appears, Lexus suddenly felt a cool sensation throughout him. He could feel the changes in many aspects within him. His charm, dignity, composure, being indomitable, in persistence and fighting spirit. Lexus can't really put it into words but the change in the phenomenon in his body was clear.

However despite the strangeness, his head feels cool. Lexus didn't panic nor feel excited. It might be the composure stat affecting him. While looking at the sudden system message, he glanced at Piaro and Asmophel who became determined as Lexus turned off the Enhanced Thought Acceleration.

"I appreciate your sentiment, your majesty but I wish to settle my grudge with my own hands."

Piaro spoke with serious glare in his eyes as the frozen or slowed down world around me started reverting back to normal.

"I see."

Lexus didn't mock or refute Piaro's choice. It was his right to begin with. As he was about to say something, system notification has disturbed and distracted me again.

[Nearby pieces of pavranium are detected. The blessing of the three Gods has fallen on the mineral aetherium through pavranium.]

[The pavranium have obtained healing skills due to Goddess Rebecca's blessing. They will increase their owner's health recovery speed by 300%.

* The pavranium have obtained an attack buff skill due to God Dominion's blessing. The owner's attack power will increase by 15%.

* The pavranium have obtained a defense buff skill due to God Judar's blessing. The owner's defensive power will increase by 15%.]

'Ah~!'

A pleasant surprise.

The mineral he created, automatically receives the blessings from the pavranium that Greed possesses the moment aetherium detected the mineral that Pagma had created. The blessings enhances his recovery rate, attack power and defense. Although it looked quite significant, Lexus was satisfied.

"Your majesty, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for revealing the truth."

As he was immersed with the sudden blessings, Asmophel tearfully kneeled in front of me. He was so thankful for finally knowing what truly happened after the tragic betrayal and sin he has committed.

"I swear in my honor, I will never forget this debt. I swear, I'll definitely repay you in the future."

Piaro also said his thanks. His previous murderous expression has now changed to joy. He finally knows the true targets of his revenge after more than 3 years.

"I'll look forward when that time comes but first, you guys should grow stronger."

Lexus replied to them with a smile. Just then, two golden red hands emerged from his inventory as the two God Hands levitated around him. The three people around Lexus were once again surprised by the two flying artifacts created from the most powerful mineral that transcended the mineral of the gods.

"Pardon me for thinking this way but, the stronger you guys become, the more it benefits me, so here. I hope this gift of mine can become a pillar of your strength."

As Lexus speak, each of the God Hands followed my command as the God Hands respectively flew towards Piaro and Greed.

Looking at the golden red hand, Greed suddenly got goosebumps.

[Undefeated King 'Lexus' wants to hand you the God Hand.]

[Do you want to accept it?]

"G-god?"

The item had a very domineering name which will really make someone so curious about it.

"Wow!"

Piaro was someone who possesses a great talent. Therefore, his ability to read and understand sentences was excellent. In a short time. He confirmed the details of the God Hand several times.

"Is this a dream?"

Duguen.Duguen.Duguen.

A legendary item that doubles. The option effects are also truly legendary. However what attracted their attention after a while were the user restrictions.

'Are these... legendary classes?'

Greed paled as he realized that all of these four might have been his legendary classes. The reason why he's too strong...

'Can someone this fraudulent truly exist?!'
