PFC Chapter 215 First Kill, First Clear, and Another Shock
Chapter 215 First Kill, First Clear, and Another Shock
Chen You sat upright on the throne.
He stared at the Shadow King Dai who had drawn his sword and committed suicide at the slightest provocation, and for a moment he didn't know where to begin to criticize.
Shadow King Dai seemed to misunderstand Chen You's silence, thinking that the new king preferred to do things himself to increase the sense of ritual.
He stepped forward, holding the Shadow Greatsword in both hands, and respectfully presented it to Chen You on the throne.
"Perhaps, Your Majesty, you prefer to do it yourself, as it feels more ceremonial."
"When the former king falls, a new king ascends the throne; this is an immutable law."
"I would die without regret if I could be the final stepping stone for you to reach the summit."
His words were passionate and impassioned, demonstrating unparalleled loyalty and righteousness.
One second ago, Chen You thought that Xiao Dai had a high level of awareness and was a promising talent.
But a second later, he realized something was wrong.
Why does it sound like I've been taken advantage of?
They kept referring to him as "the late king" and "the successor"...
Why does it feel like I've been taken advantage of?
He's becoming more and more of a "filial son"!
Chen You leaned back slightly, resting on the cold black crystal throne.
"Change the lines," he said, looking displeased. "This one isn't good."
"..."
Xiao Dai froze in his motion of handing over the sword.
A distinct look of bewilderment flashed in his pupils, which had no eyeballs.
The dialogue... wasn't good?
Could it be that I've misunderstood the spirit? Does His Majesty the New King dislike this tragic epic tone?
Within the royal court, there was a deathly silence.
Shadow King Dai remained kneeling with his hands holding his sword, his brain (if he had one) racing.
A few seconds later, his eyes suddenly lit up!
Understood!
Yes! Who is His Majesty?
He is the one true king who breaks the rules and reshapes the order!
His own words just now placed him entirely within the framework of the old system, which was an insult to His Majesty!
Having figured this out, Xiao Dai shuddered, and the Shadow Greatsword in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, turning into a wisp of black smoke and dissipating.
He abruptly took a step back, then prostrated himself on the ground, and in a tone of utmost repentance and piety, shouted:
"I am guilty! I deserve to die!"
Chen You raised an eyebrow, said nothing, and watched him continue his performance.
Xiao Dai's voice was filled with the excitement of a profound realization.
"The royal court has never had a former king! There has only been a usurper who has corrupted the court!"
"It was you, Your Majesty, who restored order, swept away the dust, and restored order to the shadows!"
Your achievements will be remembered for generations to come!
These words made Chen You's lips twitch again.
Wow, that's impressive business acumen.
From "murder and usurpation" to "restoring order," the script was completely changed in less than a minute.
However, this sounds much better.
"Alright."
Chen You didn't want to hear him continue praising him. "Whether you live or die, and how you die, is not important."
"The important thing is that I need to clear the game."
He succinctly expressed his core demands.
Xiao Dai instantly understood and leaped up from the ground.
"Understood!"
He nodded hastily, and then...
Under Chen You's astonished gaze, he strode to the open space in the center of the hall and then lay down straight on the ground.
After getting into position, he gathered his emotions for a moment, then his chest heaved violently, and he let out a blood-curdling scream.
"Ugh—!"
That cry was powerful and moving, full of twists and turns.
Immediately afterwards, his limbs began to twitch violently, the light in his eyes (eye sockets) flickered, and he muttered incoherently.
"The future of the royal court... is... unstoppable..."
"puff--"
He even added his own sound effect of vomiting blood.
The entire process was heavily staged and so exaggerated it was cringe-worthy.
Chen You: "..."
He even regretted it a little; he thought that if he had known, having him slit his own throat might have seemed more realistic.
Just as Xiao Dai's "performance" was coming to an end, he kicked his limbs and was completely "cooled down".
Several glowing pieces of equipment fell out of the space.
At the same time, a series of crisp system notification sounds exploded in Chen You's ears!
[Ding! Congratulations on successfully defeating the final boss of the "Path of the King" - Shadow King Dai!]
You have achieved the "World's First Kill" achievement!
You have successfully cleared the [Path of the King] dungeon, gaining 500000 experience points!
You have achieved the "World's First Clear" achievement for the "Path of the King" dungeon!
You have obtained the unique title: [Shadow Overlord]!
[Shadow Overlord]
[Unique Title]
[Effect: When you activate [Reign Supreme], the [King's Avatar] attribute increases by an additional 10%.]
……
The next second, the entire sky of the Origin Realm, whether in the main city, in the wild, or in other dungeons, was shrouded in a deep dark red!
A blood-red world announcement has arrived!
[World Announcement: Congratulations to player Chen You for achieving the world first kill of the final boss of the [Path of the King] event, [Shadow King - Substitute]!]
[World Announcement: Congratulations to player Chen You's team for achieving the world's first clear of the 25-player Mythic dungeon [Path of the King]!]
They crushed all obstacles with unparalleled might, announcing the birth of a king to the world!
Two announcements flashed continuously, exploding in the sight of countless players!
"Holy crap?! First kill of the final boss?! We've already cleared the game?!"
"This...this can't be real, right? Weren't the elite teams of the three major divine clan guilds supposed to be decimating the third one?"
"As expected of Boss Chen You! He's like a heifer sitting on a wine vat—the most (intoxicating) awesome!!"
Countless shocks swept through the entire Origin Realm.
……
In the [Road to the King] instance, before the third boss, "Mirror of True Sight".
The second group from the Titan Temple has just turned into white light once again and been sent back to the entrance.
Chairman Salos's face was so gloomy it could drip water, and he was listening to Taipi's report.
"...Guild Leader, that BOSS's damage reflection lasts too long, and we have too little time to deal damage."
Taipi's voice was filled with frustration.
Just then, a blood-red world announcement also descended upon them.
The entire Titan Temple guild channel fell silent instantly.
Everyone saw those two announcements and that familiar ID.
After a long while, Saros sent out a new message.
"How...did he do that?"
No one can answer.
……
Moon Goddess's Radiance Guild Channel.
Moon Arrow stood quietly in the guild hall of the Eternal Night City, looking up at the crimson afterglow in the sky.
Those beautiful eyes were filled with shock and... a hint of "I knew it."
"I knew it... he really did it," she murmured.
"President," Yue Congming pushed up his glasses and analyzed in a serious tone.
"This is highly illogical. I suspect he might have been sent by the Origin Realm to deliberately provoke the players?"
……
The Roman God Clan's guild channel.
There was only a series of ellipses.
The president ordered that no further information about Chen You be mentioned.
Therefore, this was the only way the members could express their shock.
……
Chen You was completely unaware of what was happening in the outside world.
At this moment, he was standing in the center of the main hall of the Shadow Royal Court.
He has picked up all the dropped items.
As expected, none of the equipment pieces were of any use.
However, that wasn't the main point; his attention was entirely focused on another special item that had fallen.
The Heart of a King
[Quality: Myth]
[Note: After use, you will be able to ignore restrictions and forcibly enter the [King's Avatar] state.]
