...

Reading over the quest details, Shinto was taken aback, but the sheer difficulty of the quest. 'SSS', the highest difficulty in the game.

'An SSS difficulty quest...? It's been a while since I've got those...'

As the highest difficulty in the game, SSS Quests are very rare, with it offering high risks and high return, only a handful of players get these quests.

'Girzo lu Ehlaw...' Shinto thought to himself, 'If I remember correctly, Ehlaw... is related to dark...?' his eyes moved towards the stone gate in front of him as he analyzed it.

The gate had two sides, the right being the darkness of dusk whilst the left being the divinity of dawn. When looking at the big picture: It seemed as if the two sides were split between.

"Could this be related to the obelisk from earlier? The one relating to the person split between dark and light?"

Shinto took a deep breath calming his mind. He couldn't be careless, after all, whatever's behind there would be difficult to go up against, even for the top tier DPS like Shinto.

'The clear rewards and failure rewards aren't revealed...' Shinto shuddered, 'I mustn't go in without being at my best.'

Shinto turned his gaze over towards his skill list, looking at each of his skill cooldowns. From the Refrinz battle to now, it seemed quite a bit of time had passed and during the interval between this and the wave battle, all of his skills thankfully have gone off-cooldown.

'Alright... Look's like I'm ready.'

Shinto held his breath gripping onto Kurogane on his right hand, as he reached out his left hand towards the stone gate, he pushed the gate, opening it.

Creek...

The sound of the gates opening could be heard, an eerily creepy sound as if you had walked into a demon's lord throne room.

...

The room was extremely dark and eerily quiet, besides the occasional thundering strikes resounding from the previous trial, it was pin-drop silence within the chamber.

Shinto took a step forward, as the gate behind him closes. As the gate closed, the halls lit up from the pillars lined up in the room leading up towards the throne within the chamber.

At the forefront of the throne, was a statue. Turned to stone as he sat there, he looked towards the gate lifelessly.

'A statue...?'

Just as Shinto thought of the sight in front of him, he suddenly received a notification.

[ Those who enters this room... Dares not pay respects to the king? ]

The statue protruded a sudden aura of darkness as it surrounds itself with it, slowly the stone disappears.

"...!"

As the petrification wears off, his face reveals, his eyes deep into the abyss, similarly to that of eternal darkness, his face filled with wrath as it was tainted by vengeance.

[ King Vadius, Shaodon Emperor has awoken from his slumber! ]

[ You feel meekly in front of King Vadius, your DEF and SPD are greatly lowered by 50%! ]

[ All who feels his presence are to bow before him! ]

Suddenly, a dark blade appears above Shinto, quickly taking notice of it, he hurriedly rolled over to the side, but suddenly as he made his movements a sudden gravitational force pulls him down out of the blue. Forcing him to go into a kneeling position before the king.

"PAY YOUR RESPECTS TO THE KING, PEASANT." The king shouted in a prideful voice, as the dark blade slowly descends down to Shinto.

"Argh...!" Shinto let out a cry as he forcefully fought back against the pulsating waves of gravity pushing him down towards the ground.

The king who had originally looked at Shinto amused, stared at him with bloodshot eyes "You dare not bow before my presence?!"

Successfully escaping from the pull of gravity, he barely dodged the attack from the blade. As the blade hits the ground, the king, Vadius quickly retracted the blade as held it onto one hand.

"You... You who dare defy me shall receive punishment!"

[ The King of Shao issued an order: "Kill user Shinto." ]

[ If you die now, you will receive a hefty penalty! ]

[ The kill order will disappear if you survive for the next hour or if you defeat King Vadius! ]

"Tsk...!"

Shinto hurriedly looked around the throne room, as he sees dark shadows similarly to that of knights rise from the ground.

"Kill him! For he has defied the absolute!" Vadius's voice roared through the room ordering the knights.

The dark shadows scourged over to Shinto as they swung their swords, Shinto hastily tried to avoid the countless blades aimed at him, however, with his speed halved he couldn't avoid all of them.

[ You have taken 2672 damage! ]

[ You have taken 2187 damage! ]

"Ack...!" Shinto was slashed at the back by the shadow knights.

Quickly as he was slashed, Shinto gripped onto Kurogane as he spun 360 degrees, quickly pushing back the knights with force. Soon after, Shinto jumped forward breaking away from the encirclement of the knights, swiftly making his way to the king.

"Hoh? You can handle that? Hah." Vadius remarked as he gave a smirk, "You're still a peasant."

Vadius raised his sword as he quickly stabbed it down to the ground quickly, causing cracks on the ground as it heads towards Shinto.

"...!" Noticing the cracks coming at him quickly, Shinto stopped his movement as he jumped to the side, just as he did, a storm of dark pillars protrudes from the cracks enveloping anything that was above it.

"Hmph, dodging my attacks? Weakling."

"Tsk..." Shinto glared at the king angrily, nothing hurt him more than being called 'weak'. Although he didn't like the burden of being the top of the top, he at least had pride in him to feel proud of being the mountain that couldn't be crossed over, though he was sick of it, he at least had to maintain dignity. Being called weak was like cutting at his pride.

Gripping onto his sword tightly, Shinto activated a skill [Moonlit Wave] as he quickly sent multiple waves illuminated by moonlight towards Vadius

As he activated the skill, Shinto leapt forward as he hurriedly connected another attack with the skill, [Light Ascension], protruding a bright white light following the waves as he envelops Vadius within a pillar of light.

Feeling as if the attacks had hit Vadius, Shinto continued with another skill as he closed on the distance between himself and the king.

Suddenly, a black steel sword, engulfed in an aura of darkness protruded from the pillars of light that were sent at Vadius.

"Ack...!" Having little to no time to react to the sudden attack, the sword pierced through his abdomen area. As it pushed him back, sending him flying over towards the wall as the sword pinned him to the walls.

[ You have received 4576 damage! ]

"Hahaha... Do you think such meek attacks would work?" Vadius laughed pridefully.

Shinto felt intense sharp pain protruding from his abdomen area as he was pinned to the wall. Quickly, Shinto clenched his teeth as he moved his gaze over towards the system logs, his eyes turned dreaded in despair upon a glance at it.
