At the other end...with the trio...at the same time.

“Eden” said Alexandra approaching him from behind, “I heard some...certain news.”

Hearing this, Eden felt a cold sweat in which he hadn't had for a very long. One of which that only appeared whenever he pissed Alexandra off quite a lot at once...to the point where she would want to kill him.

And this was most likely one such case.

“How did you know?” Eden could only ask. She was most likely referring to what happened to Sain...though it was months ago....to be precise three months ago.

“Alena.”

“Damn that daughter! Always causing trouble with you!” he cursed under his breath. He couldn't believe both daughters plus his wife loved to tease him...though his wife was about to kill him right now.

“Don't you dare think you can escape from this!” Alexandra had a firm grip on his shoulders now and was squeezing them tight.

It was only when he noticed that 'seal' that was placed here a year ago was cracking that he said, “Wait, we have some business with them right now” though he was more than happy to see them right now.

It was strange how he was happy to see enemies instead of his ally and wife right now.

“We will talk about this later” Eden assured Alexandra.

Alexandra made a grumble and muttered, “You'll be sure I will 'talk' to you about this.”

“....”

Soon enough the two joined Viv and 50 of the most powerful players on the continent. Every last person here was at least level 800 and were all powerful players with countless years of experience in life and death battles.

Some of them were hired as Dark Gamers as well.

Crack! Crack! CRACK! CRACK! BREAK!

The tear in the dimensional space in the halls of this palace was revealed. With Weed at the lead and the trio was a fail safe back up only, they revealed themselves once again.

The King of Ghost Knights, Arthur.

Puppet Ghost God, Kyoshiro

King of Demons, Solomon.

These three beings were the enemy of everyone here right now. The three looked at the massive group of players, noticeably looking at Eden, Alexandra and Viv.

“Looks like they brought guests...and a certain Emperor as well” said King Arthur as he looked to Solomon.

“Indeed but...numbers won't help.”

In an instant, a great number of Ghost Knights and Demons appeared from behind the three. They totalled around fifty each and were increasing in numbers quickly to the point that the advantage in numbers disappeared immediately.

“Well then...” Eden walked up next to Weed and Seoyoon and then said, “Any last words?”

Weed rolled his eyes to these words and said, “I will only die after you and after I gain from this.”

Alexandra walked up to them next and said, “That will be very difficult.”

And then Viv walked up next saying, “Though that could be arranged-well the die after part.”

“....”

Eden could not know what to say about these two proposing to have him intentionally killed before Weed.

“Let us start” he said while drawing his sword at the same time trying to ignore that Alexandra and Viv may 'accidentally' push him into an attack.

xXx

“Sword Wave!” “Moonlight Sculpturing Blade!” “Meteor Stream!” “Warship Breaker!” “Last Strike!”

A combination of at least five different attacks hit each of the three enemies at once. Kyoshiro was taken out, at the same time taking out a few players in the process, Solomon was taken out, the same and now King Arthur was in the process of being taken out.

They were not dead...they had no time to finish them off at all at battles of this speed where an instant was enough to travel was one point to another.

“Defence Counter!” King Arthur shouted deflecting some of the attacks back but in the process some of the attacks went through and destroyed part of his armour.

Seeing this, he retreated all the way back and looked at the remaining people left. There were only 10 out of 50 players left alive here in this battle. Even for the top players, facing enemies of this power and numbers would be fatal.

But at the same time they had the Invincible God of War plus a misfit similarly invincible trio in the group as well.

“To think we would be pushed this far” King Arthur said with praise, but at the same time he was gathering light in his Holy Sword.

Using full power, his sword gleamed with intense light as he shouted it's name.

“EXCALIBUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUR!!!”

The wave of light in the attack was so large and powerful that it broke through the ceiling of the Imperial Palace. Eden could have sworn that Weed made a painful groan seeing this.

“Well your turn” said Alexandra patting Eden on the back.

Surprised Eden asked, “Isn't dealing with light your area?”

“Nope” Alexandra let out a cheerful smile before throwing him at the attack.

“Ahhh!”

With a click of his tongue Eden flew at the pillar of light that was falling down on them and shouted swinging his sword while in the air.

“Full Counter!”

The light reversed and moved to hit King Arthur instead.

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG!!!!

King Arthur was blasted away by the light and hit the very expensive wall of the Imperial Palace quite hard which made Weed groan in pain once again. Eden thought he saw Alexandra chuckle at the sight of Weed groaning in pain.

However at the time to which they would be celebrating, a loud rumbling sound was heard by everyone left in the city.

The sky split open up and a person appeared from the Heavens.

“A Heaven sent warrior?” one of the remaining alive players muttered seeing this scene.

“What the hell is going on here?” asked another player.

Weed simply responded with, “The next part of the quest.”

Descending down, the Warrior King came.

An existence that was beyond mortals to face, and this was the very being that they needed to slay else be slain themselves.

A being encaged by a golden lion armour, holding countless weapons he could use on him and with a dignified face of a ruler of all.

The final part of the Trial of the Emperor was ticking to an end.
