Thud thud.
The Sword King slowly approached the oasis.
“What the heck! Why is it happening like this again!”
A terrified Oasis swung her staff forward.
During that time, Labo suppressed Oasis’s heal aggro with his damage aggro.
That’s why the Sword King only saw Labo.
But when Labo just received the heal and left, the aggro naturally shifted to Oasis.
Labo calculated the aggro and ‘passed it over’ to shop at the exchange, but from Oasis’ perspective, it was a crazy and outrageous thing to do.
“Master! Master! Can’t we just catch it and then go shopping? Yes?!”
But Labo, sitting in the corner, seemed to not hear Oasis at all as he was looking at the exchange window.
Oasis turned her gaze to the Sword King with a sad face.
“Heeeee! Don’t come! No, don’t come, Your Majesty!”
Taat!
As soon as he heard those words, the Sword King rushed in. Oasis screamed.
“Ukiyaaaa!”
The Sword King jumped up and swung his sword with both hands. Oasis, with her eyes tightly shut, swung her staff in response.
visor!
Weapon defense success!
Blocked.
However, the staff’s damping rate is low.
Although it is a unique grade, it does receive a bonus, but the reduction rate of the ‘Desert King’s Power’ is only 40%.
Even if you succeed in weapon defense, 60% of the damage will still be inflicted!
“Wow! Healing Wave! Slow Heal! Guardian Angel Aura!”
Oasis, who was terrified when all her blood was drained, quickly put in heal and buff.
As the attack was blocked, the Sword King, who had flinched for a moment, charged again. The swift sword that moved like a whirlwind unleashed a torrent of swift sword strikes.
“Hoeeeeeek!”
Oasis waved his staff with a sad expression on his face.
Chaeng! Chaeng! Chaeng―!
Weapon defense success!
Weapon defense success!
Weapon defense success!
They blocked everything.
Oasis used his staff to block each and every one of the Sword King’s attacks that poured in without fail from all sides.
It was a reflex that far surpassed that of a human. The damage was not reduced, but it was better than not blocking at all.
“… … ?!”
The Sword King flinched as he pulled back his sword.
All attacks were blocked?
The combat AI seemed quite flustered by the situation it was experiencing for the first time. The Sword King held his sword out in front and watched Oasis.
“Hehe, hehe, hehe!”
In the meantime, Oasis quickly refilled its HP. I glanced back at Labo, but he was still engrossed in shopping.
“Master! If this continues, I’ll really die!”
“Okay~ I’m done~ Wait~.”
“I can’t wait! Please help me quickly… …Whoaaah?!”
The swordsman who had been measuring the gap suddenly came in. His sword flashed and aimed for Oasis’ head.
The oasis roared.
“In other parties, I’m treated like a healer noble! Why does our master treat me like this!”
My true feelings came out without me knowing it.
Chaeng! Chaeng! Chaeng!
Oasis held out as long as possible, using both weapon defense and healing.
However, as the Sword King continued to attack without stopping, the damage value gradually began to exceed the recovery value.
“Ugh, woot, whoa, eww!”
I managed to fend off the Sword King’s attack while making strange noises with my mouth, but my HP was soon at rock bottom.
‘How many times can I not stand it!’
Oasis’s sharp mind quickly calculated his own heal value and the damage that the Sword King would inflict.
The number of times you can hold out in the future is… … 3 times!
Oasis shouted desperately towards Labo.
“If I get hit three more times, I’ll die!”
visor!
“Kekeke!”
The moment I spoke, I was hit. My vision flashed red, indicating that death was imminent.
‘But I can still hold out for two more… … .’
Let’s look up at the oasis while thinking,
Taat!
A tremendous amount of magical power gathered in the Sword King’s longsword that leaped into the air.
The Sword King swung down his sword, which was brimming with magical power.
“omg.”
Oasis’s face turned pale.

What about two? If you get hit by that, you’ll die!
Flash!
“You’re going to die in the end!”
Oasis, who had given up on weapon defense, quickly crouched down on the ground.
‘It’s okay. Actually, I’ve died a lot in the past… … .’
Suddenly, the deaths of the past flashed before Oasis’ eyes.
So many people died.
Dying from being PKed, dying while luring a snake monster, dying while falling into a trap, dying while luring a basilisk larva… … .
Instead of Labo, they were all driven to the death ground and died.
“… … .”
Oasis’ face suddenly turned red.
Most of the deaths were caused by being dragged out by Labo. And this time it’s no different!
“Master?! I’m about to feel wronged?!”
The sword of the Sword King fell on the head of Oasis who was shouting like that.
“Whoa!”
“Dark Hand-Shield.”
Labo, who had gotten in between, deployed a shield made of dark aura and absorbed the sword strike in one breath.
“Okay. You did a good job, Oasis. Now leave it to me.”
“Eww! Master! I was so scared… … .”
Oasis, who had been looking up with tears in her eyes, stopped talking.
The familiar figure of the master was nowhere to be found, and instead a tall black knight wearing black armor from head to toe and a blood-red cloak was standing there.
Oasis let out a loud noise without even realizing it.
“Who are you?!”
“Who are you? Your master.”
“I’m showing off my armor that has a black sheen to it,” Labo said, striking a pose.
“It took a while because I also dyed my hair while I was at it.”
“You even changed the appearance of the item?! I’m dying?!”
“Hey, you’re not dead. It’s okay, it’s okay.”
Oasis’s anger was lightly brushed aside, and Labo happily explained his equipment.
With his face obscured by a full-face helmet, he was unable to see anything.
“I only use the same weapon, the poison sword, and the rest are all level 50 unique full sets. The look is changed to a cash skin, and I mixed ‘Fallen Paladin’ and ‘Lonely Berserker’ appropriately. What do you think? It’s cool?”
“Yeah, well… … it’s kind of cool, but… … .”
Oasis, who had been feeling uneasy, spoke honestly about his feelings.
“You have very classical tastes, my lord… … .”
If the image of the ‘Demon King’ were to be realized as a character, would it look like this?
To put it nicely, it had a classic flavor, but to be honest, the design was too obvious.
It’s like the cliche of the Demon King has been copied directly… … .
Old-Fashioned.
Old-fashioned Demon King.
“I wanted to stay true to the role-playing aspect. I’m a bad guy who’s trying to destroy the world, so I have to look like this so that all players can intuitively understand it.”
Labo seemed to have expected such a reaction and seemed satisfied.
“Ah, this kid is the ‘enemy of the world,’” he thought.
Labo checked the condition of the armor, clenching and unclenching the pointed fingers wrapped in the gauntlet.
“… … .”
Oasis looked at the sight and suddenly thought.
The owner seems to think of himself not as a player, but as an ‘event’ that the players experience.
Still not a user… … but like a developer.
“And this look will only be used until season 6. I have planned out a separate look for when the world is completely destroyed.”
“Hey, as expected, your plan is thorough.”
“Of course. So this appearance right now… … Hmm, should I call it the Demon King ‘Yu Saeng’ version?”
The word larva suddenly came to mind, the basilisk larva I had caught until I was sick of it.
Oasis trembled inwardly.
‘That bastard… … .’
“Okay, let’s go then.”
After finishing checking his equipment, Labo drew his sword and stepped forward.
The Sword King was on high alert, perhaps sensing that Labo’s item level had jumped significantly.
“Blessing of the North Sword! Aura of the Guardian Angel! Melody of the Tailwind!”
Oasis quickly gave Labo a buff.
“Hey, fake warrior.”
Labo, who had received the full buff, stretched out his left hand, which was not holding the sword, and shook it.
“Come on. I’ll crush this prospective demon lord.”
Taat!
Instead of answering, the Sword King rushed at him.
Hurrruk!
Labo’s sword was engulfed in black flames. Labo forcefully extended his sword forward.
“Dark Strike!”
The pitch-black sword strikes continued to strike the Sword King’s body.
Hit!
Hit!
Critical!
Critical!
Hit!
This time, clean, full hit.
Plus two of them are critical!
And its power was not something that a level 50 NPC could withstand.
Phew!
A copy of the warrior who protected the world, the Shadow of the Sword King.
With one skill, it was shattered into pieces in the air.
* * *
The battle ended with surprising ease.
‘Was not farming the items a way to adjust your own balance?’
Labo groaned as he examined his own status, which had become excessively strong.
User ID: Labo
– Occupation: True Dark Knight
– Character Lv: 50
– Item Lv: 495
– Strength: 170 (+120)
– Agility: 5 (+50)
– Intelligence: 5 (+15)
– Stamina: 90 (+170)
– Horsepower: 0
Labo’s item level after getting full gear was 495, and when the item level went up by around 200, he literally became twice as strong as before.
It was nice to wear a full set because I was pissed, but it was too strong for a level 50 dealer. In terms of damage output, it was almost on par with a level 70 dealer.
‘The huge cost that matches the huge deal is one of the drawbacks of this job… … .’
Because the weakness was covered up by a dedicated healer, it was too strong.
If he were the director, he would have implemented a balance patch. He would have reduced the damage or increased the cost.
But now he is not the director, and instead he is trying to destroy the game.
If there are any loopholes or weak points in the game, we will actively exploit them.
‘Who said that, you napalm bastards?’
Labo is grumbling inside,
Tiring!
As the shadow of the fallen Sword King disappeared, Labo’s quest window was refreshed.
Previous Quest: Demon King Succession III
– Current objective: Defeat the shadows of the three warriors.
> King of Swords Cardmos Gargantua (1/1)
> Archmage Kyrie Eleison (0/1)
> Pope Eden Chronocide (0/1)
“… … ?”
Oasis frowned as she looked at the shared quest window.
“Uh… … So, what is it? It doesn’t end with the Sword King?”
“Of course. Do you think you can change jobs so easily?”
Labo pointed to another door on the other side of the room.
“The goal of this quest is to defeat all the shadows of the three legendary warriors. To put it simply, it is a series of three battles against NPCs.”
“Ugh… … .”
“Well, don’t worry too much.”
Labo, who was grinning from the inside of the helmet, took the lead.
“I’ll break through in an instant.”
Oasis smiled bashfully at the sight of that trustworthy figure.
“Yes, master!”
The two arrived at the door, and Labo opened it forcefully.
And in the next room the two entered.
Kwaaaaah!
The second of the three legendary warriors, the legendary great wizard ‘Kyrie Eleison’, was casting a spell.
A massive fireball, nearly the size of the entire room, blazed above her hand.
“… … .”
“… … .”
The two quickly turned around and tried to leave the room.
Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!
The door was locked and wouldn’t open.
Oasis turned around again and was covered in cold sweat.
“No, this doesn’t seem right, Master. If that happens, I think we’ll both be sent to the afterlife together!”
“… … .”
“What on earth do I do… … Uh, Master?”
Labo, who had silently returned to the back of Oasis, held Oasis’ shoulders tightly with both hands.
“oasis.”
“yes?”
“sorry.”
“yes?”
Then Labo crouched down as much as he could and held Oasis out in front of him like a shield.
“Secret skill! Friend Shield!”
“What the heck?! Friend Shield?!”
“Oh, not a friend? Then Shield the idiot!”
“No, I’m not your friend? At least call me a friend shield… … No, that’s not important, wait?!”
Oasis screamed as she saw a giant fireball flying towards her.
“This bad master’s son-of-a-bitch!”
Quagmirak-!
The fireball exploded, filling the room with a terrible flame.
… … And then, the oasis died.
