'Not bad.'

(#A/N: Yeah! His set of legendary items is now finally completed. Yosh! Let's move to the Myth items next! )

"I heard that this place was given the grace to submit to the empire by His Majesty the Emperor, but I didn't realize you bunch are ungrateful for your rejection."

In the throne room, the Saharan Empire's 2nd prince, Dulandal spoke in an arrogant tone. He was said to be far from the succession since he was behind the 1st Prince supported by the emperor and the 4th Prince supported by the empress, but his name was still famous. Dulandal had the power to collapse a small kingdom in one morning, so it was natural that he was arrogant since he was too used to the small royal families dependent on the empire to curry favor with him.

He was mocking the ministers around him while casually looking at the vacant throne that didn't have anyone sitting on it. He simply thought that the young king was afraid of him and quickly fled when he heard of his sudden visit.

That teenage king was said to have the power of a legend and was steadily expanding his reputation throughout the continent. But so what? It was an attitude of not being interested in such a trivial matter.

There were countless talents in the empire that were comparable or better than that king and Dulandal is certain of it. Of course, he believes that his bloodline is superior despite hearing that this king became a sword saint.

"I also know that the force of a legend transcends the human category. But in the end, that's the power of an individual. He can't afford to go against the Saharan, our great empire which dominates the continent. There are many people in the empire that transcend the category of humans."

He was lacking in every aspect compared to the 1st prince and 4th prince. It was rumored that the emperor's evaluation of 2nd Prince Dulandal was ruthless and cold. Yet Dulandal was now talking proudly.

"..."

The ministers didn't refute any of Dulandal's sarcastic words although they were irritated by his attitude.

However, Chucksley couldn't stand it and stepped forward. Yet before Chucksley could speak. There was a flash of light in the center of the throne room as Lexus appeared.

Hours ago…

"The Undefeated King...!"

It wasn't a dragon or a great demon that the empire was most afraid of. It was the king of Lubana, Madra. The empire waged 97 wars against him, but never won once.

The soldiers who accumulated experience in the process of winning over the continent, the strategists who turned the world upside down with mysterious tactics, and the knights that caused the empire to dominate with strong force. All of it was nothing in front of Madra. They were just novices.

In front of Madra's valor, the empire's soldiers became cowards. In front of Madra's tactics, the empire's strategists were nothing, and the empire's knights couldn't endure Madra's strength. The empire's people didn't know this because a lot of information was concealed, but it was clearly described in the imperial history record books.

『 If Madra had lived for three more years, other nations would've sought to become Lubana's servants. If Madra lived for five more years, the empire would've lost half its territory. If Madra lived for 10 more years... The empire wouldn't exist. 』

The Undefeated King! The name had been imprinted with fear into the imperial family for hundreds of years. They were worried that the second or third Undefeated King might be born; however, all people throughout the world were alerted by the emergence of Undefeated King Lexus who purified the contaminated Hall of Fame.

This caused Emperor Juander to forget his dignity and his body shook.

"Destroy that Undefeated King!"

The emperor immediately gave an order. That's why the current situation was like this. He gave a separate order towards Dulandal to make the young Sword Saint submit to them and utilize the fabled strongest swordsman to face the new generation Undefeated King.

Dulandal didn't need the Sword Saint's consent but it was to force and make use of him so he didn't have to be humble to ask the sword saint's opinion.

Normally, it would take several weeks for the 2nd prince, Dulandal and the red knights which escorted him to arrive at this place from the capital of the Empire. However, the empire has one of the 10 Great Magicians on the Continent to cast Mass Teleport to them.

Just then, the young king he thought that had already fled in freight, appeared in a flash.

"That's strange. Why are there so many people wearing red armor in the area?"

Lexus whispered to himself but everyone heard him. Seeing these people, Lexus wondered if he had teleported in the wrong place and got the coordinates wrong. However, all people that were present instantly felt shock and panic.

Even the arrogant Dulandal became deathly pale but the one who was extremely shocked was Mercedes. The 1st knight of the empire and was leading the squad of red knights that escorted the 2nd prince.

She recognized Lexus since she already met him just a few weeks ago but seeing him, greatly surprised her. It was similar to the pressure Mercedes had felt when she first met him.

'No, he is now completely different.'

What she had felt from him before was a feeling like he was standing above everything, while the young king in front of her seemed very high and lofty, it almost felt like he was the only one existing in this space.

Not able to know where its limits were, Mercedes felt like she had become a small and helpless existence like a firefly.

'A god?'

It was the only thing that immediately came to mind.

Like how a grain of sand of a sand castle wiped away the waves couldn't be found, or like how the light of a firefly couldn't be seen in front of the sun. Her existence was too poor.

She felt like she would be blown away if the newly arrived king just blew softly with his mouth. No, before that, wouldn't her existence be eaten up? She felt like she was in critical danger, like Mercedes would disappear like a candlelight without even realizing what was happening.

If in their first meeting, he was like a mountain, then the current Lexus was the sky. As for the mountain, people can put a mountain under their feet if they climb it, but as for the sky, it is always there no matter how high up people go.

« Due to the loss of manual control after my evolution into the Divine Wisdom Core, the clones that were formerly under the authority of the old Intellectual King Solomon have vanished. »

Knowing his confusion about the current event that took place, Ciel informed her master, Lexus.

'I see.'

Lexus immediately understands the gist of what happened to the clones that managed his territory in his stead. It wasn't that hard to imagine it dissipating when Solomon was upgraded to Ciel. That's why he wasn't informed about the visit of Dulandal and the red knights that escorted him.

"What a grandiose entrance you have there."

Dulandal spoke towards Lexus after recovering from the overwhelming presence. As he finally met the purpose of his visit towards this kingdom, Dulandal ignored the two other men that appeared around Lexus.

"Anyway, I am the 2nd Prince of the Saharan Empire. I will have you submit to the mighty empire. You are welcome to resist if you wish."

Although he was extremely frightened earlier, Dulandal thought that the overbearing presence was nothing but a bluff. He was someone who has the most noble bloodline from the founder of the Saharan Empire so there's no one he needs to fear.

"Just know that I won't kill you, I have not been ordered against turtoring you."

Hearing Dulandal, Lexus immediately understands his purpose of coming here. It seems like the Saharan Empire didn't want to let the opportunity of making the Sword Saint to become their servant go into waste.

However because of his tone, it made Lexus chuckle.

"Fufuu. I've just finished conquering the Hall of Fame, but now I'm eagerly anticipating the expression you will show me when we meet on the battlefield."

Lexus said to them with a smirk. He didn't mind the arrogance they showed towards him. It was clear as day that they could no longer beat him alone. They might have had the chance before he conquered the Hall of Fame but now that he became complete, that extremely small chance has disappeared.

When they heard his amused chuckle, the people around him realized that he was that Undefeated King Lexus that alerted the whole world. None of them could deny it when the world message itself recognized the king in front of them as the new King of Heroes.

"Oho, your calm and nonchalant attitude is commendable unlike those slug like kings from other kingdoms. I'm quite amazed that you didn't show any hostility to me, an imperial prince of Saharan."

Dulandal smirked back towards Lexus. Though he was quite shaken that the one in front of them was Undefeated King that even the emperor was afraid of, he still believed and was extremely confident that he had the upper hand.

"That's a strange thing to say. Why should I bear any hatred towards someone who's obviously weaker than myself?"
