No one dared to intervene with this battle.

Dragon, Undying, and Spiritless who died, instantly went to watch the streams.

Just in time to see King Lucius getting stabbed by Ichiro's blade.

The Livestream chats were noisy as ever, but this time, it was King's fans who were winning.

No one could do anything except admit that King was, on the whole, another level compared to other players.

Most of the ordinary players would give up if they had 1 HP.

That's literally nothing!

King Lucius ignored his wound and started attacking.

He has watched KingOfGames' movements— if he tried to use a healing potion, he was prepared to stop it.

But he didn't even try, he doesn't know why, but he has a feeling that he would be able to heal if he wanted to.

'What are you planning… King!' King Lucius shouted in his mind and swung his sword once again.

Ichiro deflected the sword with his own and did a quick slash towards King Lucius' neck.

But King Lucius was prepared and dodged the slash— he also did counter-attack by doing a downwards slash towards Ichiro's feet!

Ichiro quickly jumped backward.

Usually, he wouldn't dodge if an attack hit his feet because he would lose less than 1k HP.

But now… That would have been deadly!

King Lucius didn't let Ichiro rest, he kept swinging his blade, hoping to hit Ichiro with luck, but it was a useless attempt.

The fight went back and forth for another half an hour!

King Lucius' HP has been decreased all the way down to 50k!

Ichiro had still only 1 HP.

The King's Guards was pale as a sheet.

They knew that their King didn't want anyone to intervene with the match but at this rate… King Lucius will die!

"Daddy!" A voice came from the top of the wall.

King Lucius didn't react, but he knew who it belonged to.

Everyone turned their heads towards the top of the wall and saw a lovely blond-haired young woman. She had soft-looking lips with innocent-looking facial features. Her face alone can stir anyone's protective instincts, and that was what happened.

Everyone's simping spirits ignited, and everyone declared this young woman as their queen in their hearts.

She is Lessencave's Princess, Sophia.

She is rarely seen because she is a very protected individual, and only Mythical Heroes have the honor to see her.

Like KingOfGames.

But he never came to see her.

Mythical Heroes also has the opinion to marry her, which could be the dream of many, even though it is only a video game.

Azura was standing about 10 meters away from the beautiful princess, and their looks were like worlds apart.

But that is only ingame.

Azura was as beautiful in real life, maybe even more beautiful.

But she was greatly overshadowed by the beautiful princess currently.

But she didn't mind— it was only a video game after all.

If it was real life… Then she would be worried.

Ichiro and King Lucius collided with their swords again.

"King, please reconsider… You are Hero to many." King Lucius said with a pained face.

Everyone can be safe as long as they know that KingOfGames is exterminating monsters.

Ichiro first time in this match, opened his mouth, "What if I am not around when a real threat appears?"

King Lucius widened his eyes.

He is a wise man, and he knew what King's words meant.

"Y-You mean?" King Lucius gulped.

Ichiro didn't answer and swung his one more time, but that slash… Left a large weak spot.

King Lucius didn't let that chance go and did a small slashing wound on Ichiro's torso…

Everyone became quiet and watched… As KingOfGames turned into pixels.

King Lucius stayed silent— he didn't even move.

*DING* *DING*

[FINAL BOSS DEFEATED!]

Those words… Didn't matter anymore.

No player celebrated.

No one did.

But then… A figure descended from the sky.

Everyone turned their heads towards the floating figure.

The players looked shocked.

King Lucius and all the other NPC's kowtowed.

The floating figure is like God to them.

"EVERYONE!" The figure with the name of Rosenword shouted.

"Congratulations on passing my test!"

"Test?" Everyone started murmuring.

"The test was to see if you guys are worthy of entering the new world… You guys passed!"

Everyone felt thrilled.

This meant one thing… New update!

"I hired KingOfGames to fight against you guys, and if he is defeated… That means you passed!"

King Lucius and NPC's looked shocked.

'He didn't betray us… Wait… Didn't people die?' King Lucius thought and looked around him.

He knew that if the Players died, they would be reincarnated, but it is different for NPC.

But… None of the NPC died!

'I see now…' King Lucius lowered his face with a small smile on his face.

*Snap*

Rosenword snapped his fingers, and a massive map appeared in the sky.

The map showed… A massive Continent, never seen before!

"This is End Continent. It is a dangerous place with millions of dangerous monsters, but they are hidden deep inside the mountains, but one day… They might leave the mountains and leave a trail of destruction behind them!"

The players gulped and listened closely.

"It's your duty to exterminate them!" Rosenword started floating higher and did one final shout, "Tomorrow, the End Continent will open! Good luck, Hunters!"

Rosenword disappeared, and the world of Night's End became calm once again.

The news about the End Continent instantly started spreading, while the news of KingOfGames' defeat also shocked everyone.

But no one… Insulted KingOfGames… Because they needed over a million players and High-Level NPC to win!

In Real Life.

Ichiro put the controller gently on the ground and closed the console.

He took a deep breath and stood up.

His legs were numb, which was not a great feeling for him.

He is used to train a lot, not play video games.

'I guess I will stop video games for now… Underworld tournament is approaching…' Ichiro's face went cold while remembering that…

*Creak*

The door to his room was opened, and Azura entered.

Azura went towards him and hugged his muscular body.

She put her head on his chest and closed her eyes.

"Everything alright?" Ichiro asked and patted the head of the adorable girl.

"Nn…" She nodded and separated from his hug.

"Are you playing Night's End anymore?" Azura asked cutely.

Ichiro shook his head and sat down on his bed, "No… It's time to focus on getting stronger."

Azura had a sad face, but she also nodded.

She lied down on the bed and looked into Ichiro's handsome face.

Ichiro lied down next to her, 'Weapons can be used in the Underworld tournament… It's time to go train my swordsmanship…'
