Chapter 87 - The Greatest Sword, Next (3)

An unprecedented final boss battle.

However, it did not start immediately. A cutscene began before the final boss battle.

"Here is..."

"This is the audience chamber where the Decider resides."

The massive door opened, and the protagonist stepped in. A space wider than the training ground in the headquarters of the knights came into view.

Though called an audience chamber, the interior was not opulent. There were no dazzling decorations, and the floor, made of silver metal, gave a desolate and cold feeling.

If it weren't for the red carpet in the center and the iron throne at its end, one might not have thought it was an audience chamber.

"Indeed, it's not as vast as I thought."

The protagonist looked at the throne and said. Behind the throne, a shadow was cast by the sunlight shining through a window that took up half the wall.

However, the size was not that of a human.

"Wow, is that Aiden?"

Eun-gil could not hide his surprise. The viewers felt the same way.

- Wow... How can it be so big ㅎㄷㄷ

- What? Aiden was a giant?

- ㅁㅊㄷㅁㅊㅇ

- The final boss should be big, right!

- Is there something bigger than a dragon? 😂

- Oh ㅋㅋ It turns out he was hibernating

- Hibernating ㅇㅈㄹ ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

On the throne sat a giant in armor. However, he did not move even as the two entered.

"Decider, it's me. Your daughter, Alicia, has come."

As the protagonist approached, Alicia spoke in a distant voice. Even though she did not raise her voice, it seemed to fill the audience chamber.

"Oh..."

Eun-gil let out another small exclamation. A golden light began to spread from inside Aiden's armor.

With that, Aiden awoke.

"...Alicia."

A deep, resonant voice filled the air.

Golden aura surged from between the hidden helmet in response to the vibration.

- Wow ㅋㅋ It's so cool

- Look at the majesty ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

- FromSoftware is good at both the bizarre and the cool

- I like the slightly worn cloak ㅋㅋㅋ

- ㄹㅇㅋㅋ The atmosphere is so good

- The king of a fallen nation is always right

The viewers were satisfied, but the atmosphere in the cutscene was serious.

Alicia leaped from the protagonist's shoulder and ran to Aiden.

"What happened? Are you alright...?"

"Enough."

Alicia stopped in her tracks at Aiden's words.

"The Exile's Rune is fading. So much time has passed...?"

- What?

- You exiled your own daughter?

- What ㅋㅋㅋ It was explained before

- ㄹㅇㅋㅋ You exiled her to prevent her from becoming the next Decider!

- Focus, focus!

- With so many legends, it's easy to forget!

Alicia struggled to speak in response to Aiden's words.

"That's right. Decider, humans are suffering. It's time to break the silence!"

"Humans are suffering...?"

Aiden's shoulders shook.

Soon, a deafening laugh erupted. The protagonist and Alicia quickly covered their ears.

"That is not true. My silence is for the sake of humans."

"What...? Ah!"

Alicia could not continue. As Aiden extended his hand, a translucent sphere trapped her.

"Alicia!"

The protagonist rushed forward in surprise, but the sphere containing Alicia quickly returned to Aiden's hand.

- Overprotective parent!

- Aiden: Curfew!

- 3 letters, and the mood changes ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

- Call Mr. King Hyung-yeong!

- ㅁㅊ Why is he here? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

- Just look at the jokes ㅋㅋㅋ

- Don't torment our eyes!

Alicia tried to say something in shock, but no sound came out.

"You, the Broken One. Have you come to find the Elden Soul?"

Aiden's gaze then turned to the protagonist. The protagonist gripped his sword with a determined expression.

"You don't seem willing to tell me willingly."

"Of course not, to anyone."

A slow, deliberate tone.

With that, Eun-gil felt control return to him.

"I will not allow it."

The cutscene ended with these final words. At the same time, ten spirits were summoned.

"What is this...!"

"This wasn't part of the plan?"

The confused spirits made the viewers burst into laughter.

- Come on! This is your first team-up with Aiden?

- So cute ㅋㅋㅋ It looks even more adorable in person

- It's not really a team-up, it's a three-way battle ㅋㅋㅋ

- Spirit vs. Aiden vs. Purple, what's this? ㅋ

- The Three Kingdoms of Aiden! ㅋ

- Aiden ㅇㅈㄹ ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Meanwhile, the leader shouted.

"First, take down Mr. Purple!"

Regaining their composure, they quickly moved to surround Eun-gil.

"Hey, we won't fall for the same trick again."

But that brief moment was enough for Eun-gil. He targeted the leader first.

"Where are you going!"

"I'll take the right!"

"Enjoying the broadcast!"

However, the spirits did not easily let him pass. Three of them simultaneously blocked his path and stuck to him.

Eun-gil had to fend off the incoming attacks first.

- Wow, they're still pros

- What's with the 'Enjoying the broadcast' guy? ㅋㅋㅋ

- Ah ㅋㅋㅋ Sniping and fan love are separate things

- So funny ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

- Sniping at a whole new level ㅎㄷㄷ

- ㅁㅊ Even 3-on-1, he's not losing

- He's handling multiple people alone! 😂

- This is godplay, folks!

The other spirits also moved quickly, but during that brief moment, Eun-gil's sword did not stop.

"Ugh...!"

With a scream, one spirit turned into a light crystal and disappeared. Eun-gil tried to pressure the others but quickly backed away, sensing a chill.

"Decide. 'Death' shall come upon you."

Aiden's voice echoed with these words. The spirits also stopped their pursuit.

"First pattern incoming!"

"Get out of the way!"

As he shouted, crimson circular runes appeared throughout the audience chamber.

"Instant death zones, it seems."

Aiden's first attack pattern, 'Death'.

Eun-gil immediately recognized it. The threat from the runes pierced his mind.

- Instant death? Just death? - Yeah, touch it and you're dead

- What; Is this the balance from the start?

- This is FromSoftware's final boss, after all?

- So cute ㅋㅋㅋ If the snipers secure a safe zone first, it's over, right?

- Can't we just attack Aiden directly?

- Aiden is invincible until the pattern is over ㅋㅋㅋ

- ㅅㅂ How do you beat this?

- Spoiler) Godplay beats it

The viewers were amazed by the difficulty. Even the seasoned spirits were focused on avoiding the expanding zones.

However, Eun-gil's expression showed no sense of crisis.

"Hmm, if you scatter like this, it's too easy to handle."

Eun-gil's words made the chat window fill with question marks. He grabbed a spirit who had landed in a safe zone using a dragon's surge.

"What...!"

"I'm coming!"

Naturally, the spirit resisted, not wanting to enter the instant death zone. Eun-gil smiled and ran towards it.

"No, no! If we do this, we'll both die!"

Even in a safe zone, one couldn't be complacent. The instant death zones continued to expand, and a single misstep meant instant death.

The two people in that narrow space.

If they were allies, it wouldn't matter, but now they were enemies.

"No, I won't die."

Eun-gil smiled and pressured his opponent.

- Haha ㅋㅋㅋ Purple's determination is strong

- Logjam meta, what's this?

- At this level, the snipers are pitiful

- ㄹㅇㅋㅋ Where can they run?

- The one who confounds even the pros... ？

Eun-gil's relentless attack forced the opponent to hastily defend. But the outcome was decided quickly.

"Ugh...!"

The moment Eun-gil's sword met his, it was as if drawn by a magnet. The sword skills he learned from Eclipse were highly effective.

He didn't stop there and
