My King System

Yuki and Meurig looked at each other and nodded before finally opening the door. Whatever was behind it, they were going to face it together. Right in front of them was a red carpet which led up to a staircase that held the throne. Sitting at the throne was a bearded man with long black hair with a crown at the top. Without a doubt, he was the king. At his side were two other men with full gold armour which shined brighter than the sun. Their chest plate contained red engravings which were there for design purposes. When looked at from the right angle, they began to glow. In front of the king was a fully iron armoured guard. While his armour wasn't as fancy as the two others behind him, his sword emanated a terrifying aura. It was sunk into the ground just like the stories of Excalibur. At the top of the king's head was a label like all other monsters.

[King of humanity Mini boss: Lydie]

The golden guards at his side also had labels.

[Trusted golden guard: Evert]

[Trusted golden guard: Oedipus]

Yuki finally turned his attention to the iron armoured guard.

[One man army: Kenan]

Wasting absolutely no time, Evert flies toward Yuki, fist facing forward. On instinct, Yuki moves his head out of the way. He grabs Evert by the arm and kicks his elbow using his knee. Yuki had easily dislocated Evert's arm. While this was an accomplishment, Yuki's attention was on Kenan. Yuki began to approach the throne while he left Evert on the ground. As he moved forward, Yuki was hit right across the side of his face and sent flying to the wall making a crack. When he began to regain his vision, Evert was looking down on him as his arm continued to wobble from being broken. Annoyed by it, Evert twisted and removed his broken left arm with no hesitation.

Right before Evert could land another punch to Yuki, a foot kicked him from his side and sent him flying as well. Meurig was the one looking at Yuki now. He held out his hand and helped Yuki get back on his feet.

"The golden guards are most likely attack boosted undead monsters, it's better if you completely incapacitate them yourself. I can't use my attacks on someone with a higher attack than me. The only way I would be stronger than them is if you remove all of their limbs, at that point you could just kill them yourself," Meurig said.

Yuki hadn't told Meurig before, however, he didn't feel that Meurig was capable of being any help to him. That was why Yuki tried to do everything on his own and leave the weak creatures to Meurig. Now that Meurig was finally showing some initiative, Yuki felt a lot better about their situation.

"Sounds good! No one in this dungeon can see you other than me since you're still wearing that coat so you should try to sneak up behind the king and kill him."

"Once the head of the operation is defeated, his henchmen begin to lose form," Yuki said.

"How can you be so sure that if we kill the king, his guards will also die? Wouldn't it be safer to take out his guards first then attack the king together," Meurig suggested.

Evert began to rise from the rubble and started attacking Yuki. While doing hand to hand combat, Yuki continued his conversation with Meurig.

Yuki: Remember how the knights we were facing before didn't drop any exp?

Meurig: Yes... what does that have to do with this?

Yuki: Can you feel their presence anymore?

Meurig: No I can't. I don't understand what you're getting at.

Yuki: Each stage within this dungeon after the 5th one only contains one monster known as the mini boss. It doesn't make any sense that this stage has more than 1 monster.

Yuki: Unless you assume that they aren't monsters and they are instead part of the mini boss's power.

Meurig: Even so, why can't we take down the guards first and attack the king last.

Yuki: This brings me back to my first point. I'm pretty sure the king dissolved the knights and created these 3 guards.

Yuki: This means that the king only has a certain amount of power, he can divide that power into as many pieces as he wants but their combined power is still the same. Even if we do defeat one of the guards, the king will simply dissolve it and combine it with another guard or create a new one.

Yuki: That's why my job here will be to be the decoy as you go and finish off the mastermind of this stage.

Meurig nodded and began to move closer to the king. As Yuki began to gain the advantage in his fight with Evert, Oedipus as well as Kenan joined in the fight. Yuki sent an uppercut to Evert and managed to hold on to Kenan's large black sword with his thumb and index finger, he wasn't able to stop the kick to the back by Oedipus. Yuki fell to the ground face first however he knew he couldn't afford to die there. Yuki quickly flipped backwards while avoiding the sword slash from Kenan which would've sliced him in half like a loaf of bread.

"I need to get even faster," Yuki said.

[Open inventory]

Yuki pulled out two speed boost potions and drank them before the 3 guards could attack him.

"I'm getting sick of these really quickly!" Yuki said.

He had eaten some of the food he had brought with him; however, his diet mostly consisted of potions since he had been getting into life threatening positions multiple times within the dungeon.

Once Yuki had finished drinking the potions, the 3 guards attacked him simultaneously. Yuki disappeared and appeared behind them. He kept moving faster than they could attack and would occasionally attack them slightly so that they would get agitated and focus on him.

In the distance, Meurig had managed to get close enough to the king. Yuki nodded at Meurig to signal that he could disintegrate the king.
