Chapter 85_ Undefeated King

Lexus took a final glance at the island that was devastated by his power. Molten lava were everywhere and the previous state of the island could no longer be recognized.

It was the aftermath of the decisive heat produced by his magic power from his Dragon Heart.

'Good thing I have perfect control over my power or else the flames of my magic power and sword energy might have burned or melted the entire island.'

Lexus thought while scanning around. However he was satisfied. He reached the point of being strong enough to destroy his surroundings. He had all the increased power perfectly under control.

That just guarantees that he reached the highest peaks along with this world's strongest. Not only his defensive power, his offensive power became terrifyingly insane as well. His body itself, a weapon.

« You exceed common sense as usual, Master. »

As he was being impressed to himself, a beautiful voice woke him from his daze.

"I can no longer call you Solomon, right?"

« I~ I am Ciel. The one that will always support master, in Undefeated King Lexus's soul.

Master, please treat me well! ! »

Though the robotic tone is still there, her voice became incredibly fluent. Her voice is so pleasant to the ears, like listening to a melody that he will never get tired of.

"Well, I'll be depending on you like always, Ciel."

Lexus replied with a smile. Good things after another, he was extremely in good mood today. He didn't just feel omnipotence but Ciel also didn't fell behind. In this case, there's no way he will not feel glad at all.

[You have entered the 42nd island.]

With intense excitement, Lexus immediately moved forward to the next island.

"Rise."

With a wave of his hand, black shadows started sprouting from the ground.

「 Your awakening fills me with endless joy. Allow me to congratulate you from the bottom of my heart~...No, I don't have a heart so... Allow me to congratulate you from the abyss of my soul for your rebirth as a true legend. 」

The moment Mumud emerged, the elder lich exclaimed in joy. He genuinely praises the achievement of his master. Both Igris and Ainz also appears.

With the appearance of the three legendary undead creatures, Lexus spoke to them who were currently kneeling in front of him.

"Let's speed things up shall we."

The moment Lexus spoke those words, their infernal eyes blazed.

「 This is the greatest reward imaginable! ! ! I can finally be of use to master! 」

Mumud delightedly spoke. Igris and Ainz nodded, feeling the same way like Elder Lich Mumud. The three were confident in their strengths after their experience against the first great demon and wanted to be useful for Lexus but he didn't summon them in the previous islands which saddened them.

Now that they were finally called by their master, they couldn't wait for the enemies to appear and clear the path for their master.

[You have entered the 43rd island.]

[You have entered the...]

The trials to overcome himself seemed to have ended. The 42nd to 49th islands were ordinary missions such as monster hunting and boss raids.

The monsters inhabiting the islands in the 40's weren't weak. They were just very easy compared to when dealing with his clone. Thus, his momentum continued until he reached the 60th island.

The 59th island.

It was a hell-like space where monsters level 420 or higher popped up on a large scale. A challenger has to deal with at least three or four monsters that were more than 100 levels higher than him. It was a desperate situation for anyone, but for Lexus, it wasn't enough for him to struggle despite the monsters being in 4th advancement which have more advantages compared to a 3rd advancement like Lexus.

Looking at the trolls that were rushing straight towards him, Lexus remembered about the first monster that he had faced since he transmigrated in this world.

A young one of the Trolls that are medium-sized monsters known to be the most ferocious. In normal cases, they mainly live in groups, and their intelligence is also on the high axis, making them very difficult to deal with. Needless to say, the individual's fighting power was excellent. They also possessed a formidable regenerative ability which made them hard to kill.

Just then, the trolls were surrounded by a white light. Lexus recognized what happened in a single glance even without activating the Dragon's Eye. The group of trolls around him were all using the very first buff skill he has, the Strength Augmentation which increases their strength, defense and movement speed that lasts for 10 seconds.

A scarlet red light emerged in the sky. A red sword emerged from his inventory. It looked very magnificent as it radiated the dignity of a predator. Suddenly, Virulent at his hand instantly heated up like lava and threw out black flames. It blossomed like a flower and instantly disappeared, looking beautiful and mysterious.

The trolls were all above level 300 and possessed millions of health but before they could notice anything, purple blood were spilled.

[You have dealt 105,000 damage to the target.]

Looking at them, Lexus could see that their eyes were filled with shock. With his mastery of his sword, his accuracy rate of reaching his targets is at 100%. On top of that, Virulent prevented healing. Lexus unconsciously gave them a sinister smile.

['Hydra's Venom' is encroaching the affected targets in the vicinity!]

[The target will lose 10% health per second.]

The trolls suddenly scream as they instantly lost their limbs. Their expression were unable to hide their shock. It was a simple wave of the red sword that came Lexus's hand.

The attack that came from the human hand wasn't flashy, but it shot out at a speed almost impossible to comprehend. After all, it was so fast that the trolls couldn't even try avoiding his attack. With this single attack from Lexus, the trolls met with fear they had never felt before. Not only that, the wound from the scorching attack did not heal even when trolls are known for their health recovery.

「 I don't know why but, I feel this would be a one-sided bullying. I feel sorry for them. 」

Lexus then heard Madra's ego, speaks to him.

"I really don't want to hear that from someone who can massacre million of troops singe-handedly."

Lexus rebuked as he felt that it didn't fit for Madra to feel sorry with the difference between him and the trolls. Madra in his prime is far more stronger than the current him so he's definitely far more scary than he is in the battlefield.

Undefeated King Madra is a special individual. Based on what he knows, the more Madra's legends are passed down, the more it becomes a myth.

It was a natural flow for a well known genius like him to become a god if he wasn't betrayed and maybe had even faced against the great demons to save the world. The warrior who saved the world against the great demons would be hailed as a hero. What would they call a great legend who defended humanity many times if not a god? Myths were more powerful than legends. If someone had the powers of myths then they would feel omnipotent.

The trolls crashed to the ground. They couldn't avoid the cut despite being on a different trajectory.

There is No Sword in the Hand, but a Sword in the Heart—the Sword Saint's ultimate skill that 'cut all enemies.' It wasn't 'a target in the field of view,' but an ultimate skill that cut 'all recognizable objects' in range. This is also why, sword saint, the most powerful battle focused class.

'Now then, let's try something.'

2nd Form, Massacre's Dance.

Without delay, the sword dance of the Undefeated King's Swordsmanship was unfolded. Additionally, all the sword energies had anomalies. When drawing a spiral, it stretched out in a straight line. When drawing a straight line, it curved in a spiral.

His actions weren't forced by the sword dance. He has the Perfect Status Resistance to ignore the physical laws. Every movement wasn't swallowed by the kinetic energy of the sword dance. Rather, he perfectly controlled his own body.

Then, Lexus's elbow lifted and pressed against the mob's wrist while his sword was pushed into it's abdomen. It was the basic skill of the Matchless Swordsmanship which is already integrated in his mind— that penetrated the target even at a super close distance.

[You have dealt 10,500,000 damage to the target!]

[You have killed a troll warrior.]

Blood spilled from the monster's mouth.

'It is cool.'

Lexus had a free and easy feeling as he appreciated it. Omnipotent? He didn't feel this at all. The experience of destroying a monster with one or two blows wasn't unique to him. It happened more than once or twice. It might be different if the destructive power of 100,000 Army Swordsmanship that he was using before was proportional to the amount of damage inflicted, not the physical attack power.

However, his sword didn't cut the world yet so Lexus didn't feel dramatically stronger. He definitely thought he was strong when he saw him causing great damage to the mobs but... He was already too strong to be intoxicated with this much power.

Matchless Swordsmanship, the swordsmanship made by a master known as Sword Saint Biban. Meanwhile, the Undefeated King's Swordsmanship was the ultimate swordsmanship created by a genius. It was swordsmanship that induced extreme force with a single swing.

「 It is a great swordsmanship. 」

Madra was very impressed about the swordsmanship of Lexus. It was the swordsmanship that has perfectly blended the three swordsmanship of three swordsmen that were best in the world. The swordsmanship only for one person in the world. It was swordsmanship suitable only for the man called Lexus.

It was transcendent and myth because it had a form that couldn't be reproduced with the human body structure. The swordsmanship that violated the physical laws was fast and effective. It was ferocious and destructive. It boasted a destructive power in combination with the colorful effects of the sword dances originated from Pagma.

It was extremely efficient. With Lexus's Perfect Status Resistance, he was able to ignore the physical laws in order to be efficient. The result was different from the swordsmanship made by a genius like Madra, but it was difficult for other people to access it.

Again, trolls were monsters with high health and regenerative ability. Among them, the troll lord was at the peak. But the boss quickly perished against Igris's swordsmanship.

Faced against the 200,000 Army Swordsmanship used by Igris, the troll lord turned to grey ash.

[You have entered the 60th island.]

[This is a save point. Would you like to register?]

[You have been registered. When you enter the Behen Archipelago later on, you will start from the 60th island.]

The islands in the 60s. Would he be able to progress through here? The difficulty of the Behen Archipelago was amplified every 10 islands. The last island in the Behen Archipelago was the 66th island.

It was possible to infer that the difficulty of the islands from 60 onwards would be incomparably higher than before.

"It has been yesterday since I've started conquering this place."

Without any trace of sweat, Lexus muttered to himself with a slight yawn. His clearing speed was extremely fast compared to Grid in the original which took him several months.

"Purifying the Hall of Fame, huh?"

Before it was contaminated, the original Hall of Fame celebrated the achievements of legends and a training ground for current legends. However, it's a shameful place for those who are hostile to legends.

Great demons. Hundreds of years before, they saw an opportunity to destroy the Behen Archipelago, which connects legends. In order to prevent this, Pagma installed various gateways. One of the achievements of Pagma that contributed in saving the world was protecting the Behen Archipelago from the great demons.

"Well I can summon Pagma but... he's too strong and it would only makes things boring."

Lexus said with a smile. After the battle with his clone, he couldn't suppress the feeling of being strong. The sensation that everything is in control.
