"You are very clever to find something like this; I was starting to lose hope the path to the boss's room wouldn't be easy to find!"

Endlessly, this was given as sweet praise, but Highess felt it was too much.

For Highess, things like this were not the main issue; playing a game full of guesses was indeed frustrating. However, to solve this problem, patience was also necessary.

On this floor, they had to face many more monsters. It sounded boring, but for them, it was necessary.

Although Highess participated in the extermination of the monsters, his movements and speed were not comparable to Natalia's strength.

He felt weak having to constantly be near Natalia, especially as the nervousness within him increased. However, Highess did not feel it was appropriate; envy of others was not his desire.

Since long ago, he had always considered what he did only as a struggle, not for comparison with others' levels.

On the next floor, they didn't encounter many significant problems. And finally

    There's no safe way out for Natalia; earlier, she had already been struck by Exos's blow, thanks to her high-quality equipment that could withstand instant kill attacks. However, if there's another attack, there's little chance she'll be able to endure it all."Do you have any last requests?" Exos threatened.Natalia's eyes continued to glare angrily, then she spoke firmly, "Just die already...""So be it. It's a pity if you're the one who will die first..." Exos raised his sword, and in the next few seconds, he released the deadly blow.Swings...Tings..."Impact Buster..."Exos was greatly surprised after receiving a rough response from Highess; his body was pushed back two meters. Moreover, it reduced his health points by ten percent."Ugh... you're just a bothersome insect!" Exos growled.But for Natalia, this was a touching moment. She would have barely survived if not for Highess appearing just in time."Who said you could ignore me? I never said this had to be a duel you two sh

    "What am I doing right now?" That's what Highess questioned in his soul, the clang of the sword being wielded continuously. However, he seemed to want to ignore all of this, but once again, he couldn't let it all go.The things he did seemed like futile actions, however he still tried.Tings! Tings! Tings..."What's happening to him? Didn't he get hit by my attack earlier? It's impossible for him to have this kind of strength..." Exos observed carefully, every arc of Highess's sword carrying relentless speed and power.With nothing able to stop their actions, it was like a power bestowed from the heavens."That..."But from a distance, Natalia had already witnessed the reaction from Highess's body. It all came from the sword Highess held, white smoke continuously emanating intensely."Don't tell me the sword he's wielding has a significant sacrifice effect..."Natalia's statement was true; indeed, Highess's sword had such a passive effect. But, he was prudent enough to deal with it by

    Tap...Exos' face became increasingly panicked, his complaints about the pain he had just experienced had not yet ended. Suddenly, the figure of Highess appeared, landing a fatal blow with a million terrors coursing through his body."Impact Buster..."Crash...This blow squarely struck Exos, causing him to scream with all his might. But, unfortunately, it was all in vain. It was already too late; his body was losing balance until finally succumbing to death.He lay there, blood continuously gushing, the realistic effects disturbing enough. Especially the splatters of blood that adorned his body. Highess looked ahead, his eyes still dim from exerting too much energy."Hah..." And it was better to relent his behind to sit on the rough floor; his body was too exhausted to maintain a tough stance.Natalia smiled while looking at Highes

    Like any other day, waking up from sleep, when the eyes were still battling with drowsiness, Highess sat casually in front of the computer screen, accompanied by a cup of coffee. His hands began to move quickly, playing the rhythm of agility, opening a website displaying videos from various games around the world.On the homepage, a trending video was recommended. One video with the title "Encounter with a mysterious insect player.""Huh... why is this video here?" It wasn't just from the title, but also from the thumbnail of the video showing a familiar character.Hastily, Highess opened the video, and it started with the footsteps of a player wearing futuristic armor. None other than Natalia."Alright, everything is ready! Now let's see who we'll encounter in this hallway, I hope tough monsters will appear.."This incident happened before he met Natalia, but not long after, this encounter happened. They both stared at each other, and many commented quite intensely.Apart from commen

    Tap! Tap!"Who dares to come here?" asked a man sitting on a throne. His form resembled that of a dog-headed creature; he was the embodiment of one of the ancient Egyptian gods, Anubis."He is the creature I saw earlier, of course, he has a more threatening aura than most monsters!" Highess stood alert, refusing to let an attack reach him first."I can't believe there are two people bold enough to visit me like this today...""Two people? That means it's true a battle has taken place here!" Strangely, Highess found no damage inside the place; he knew exactly how Natalia moved, so it was impossible for there to be any damage left behind."Why are you silent, insect?" Anubis raised his voice, echoing loudly enough to disturb the eardrums."Huh? What should I respond to? I just consider this struggle very exhausting, and it's impossible for me to retreat just by seeing your form! Here, as someone who has fought tirelessly, I will defeat you..."Anubis laughed spiritedly at Highess' words

    This moment was recorded by Grey and the game company director; they witnessed the power that his Highess possessed as he decisively brought down Anubis's body."It's impossible, how could he defeat Anubis, whom I've programmed not to be easily defeated..." Grey scratched his head repeatedly until he looked like a madman.Unlike the director, his face sagged with disappointment. But it didn't last long; he quickly regained his calm. Leaning on both hands while staring at the monitor screen."Hmm... quite crazy, it turns out the players in the game have unlimited potential!" he said in a cold tone, his secretary standing there witnessing the director's cold and ambitious gaze for the first time.Meanwhile, where Highess was, the battle ended using all of his strength. His breath felt heavy and difficult to control, almost unbearable."Hah! Hah! Hah! I never thought playing this game would make my breath feel so tight like this, but it's satisfying enough to be able to defeat an opponen

    A happy smile remained on his face as he completed filling out the form from the developer's website."Thank you for filling out the data, the prize you will receive will be notified again via email! Please wait a moment..."Everything ended, this time Highess didn't mind waiting patiently, knowing that it would happen tomorrow or tonight. Right now, he was impatient to see the information about all the weapons he had obtained.One magic wand, its shape recognizable from the black dog head that identified its magical power, the same wand used by Anubis."Hmmm... the power possessed by this magic wand is indeed extremely high, but I can't use it!" Indeed, he was a character classified as a knight, while that wand had to be used through a wizard or alchemist character."Should I just sell this wand? I can't use it, wait, maybe I can use it as material to make other equipment!"That's the uniqueness of this game, the high level of difficulty resulting in many things happening, including

    Because this is what is called a competition that can never be predicted

    Grey put on a smile as he observed Highess's reaction in this situation."Indeed, I couldn't possibly let players like you win the competition again." He did feel irritated the game's security system had been breached by someone else, resulting in internal damage, but seeing this turn of events, he couldn't help but feel pleased."How could you, why are you doing this, Miyoko..." Highess uttered softly as his health points continued to decrease."Forgive me, but I won't waste this golden opportunity! I've witnessed directly how you fought against Zegar, and I understand that both of you are impossible to defeat! But I still have a chance, and this is the most appropriate way to defeat you..."Highess's eyebrows furrowed upon hearing all this. "Don't you feel ashamed of doing this? You're just destroying the pride of a samurai, I know that samurai insisted on upholding honesty...""I know, I know that! But, here it's not about upholding the dignity of a samurai, but it's about my own d

    Tings...The Twister Buster is an attack that delivers a double blow, but it's not as easy as that. Right now, Highess facing the opponent is putting up a difficult resistance to withstand. Even now, his strength feels unmatched."I've filled up my energy, but still, this man power is too great, and I can't balance it..."Tings...And, finally, he is thrown back again. His body floats in the air, presented with a beautiful sight."Yes, I understand that facing him is impossible, but still, I want to do it. I can't accept defeat against others..."Thud...His back lands very hard; it's over for Highess for now. He can move freely, but in reality, he could get up and run, but it would be pointless. Zegar's speed is much higher. Surely, he would easily catch Highess and then kill him.Rather than fleeing like a coward, it's better for Highess to fall with the demeanor of a true knight."I am ready to accept my defeat, and at this moment, my struggle as a player will end..." He can smile

    This time the fight that will be carried out has exceeded normal limits

    Highess began to feel overwhelmed, knowing from the start that facing Zegar would be very difficult.Each slash sent shivers down his entire body, however Highess continued to retaliate with his strength, trying to hold on.Ting.....But, there would come a time when it wouldn't last long, after enduring enough attacks, he was startled as Zegar pivoted to add a deadly kick.Highess was thrown back by this event, glaring at Zegar with sharp eyes. Though not entirely surprised by the attack, he was confused by Zegar's seemingly inexhaustible energy."What's happening here? How powerful is this man really?"Since Divine Phantom was used, Zegar's speed and strength had drastically increased. But, he didn't seem tired."Of all the players I've encountered, he's the toughest and most dangerous!" Highess tightened his grip, racing against time. It wouldn't be long before the effects of Sacrifice Buster wore off, and when they did, he wouldn't stand a chance against Zegar.While there was sti

    It seems that to end this, everything must be at stake

    Zegar's body appeared to be thrown back after receiving an attack from Highess, but here he couldn't afford to be proud; there were still many possibilities.It was clear that Zegar was still able to stand."Seriously, won't he still be able to defeat me? He must have accessories that can withstand damage, and he must still have great strength..."It was time for Zegar to bring out an item; he gulped down the contents of a purple bottle, and Highess's eyes widened at the sight.He vividly remembered that purple in this game was synonymous with poison and abnormal enhancements; in other words, it was the power to boost statistics to a certain extent."Don't tell me he just drank an item of terrifying potency? Seriously, am I not going to survive this?" he asked towards the sky which now looked bright."Be happy, during my time playing this game, I rarely act aggressively like this! I'll make you experience a real fight!" he said firmly, and Highess couldn't take it as mere words.The o

    Two People Trying To Find Calm In This Situation

    "The strength that is too high might indeed burden the mind, and I can understand if you're a tough player!"Highess didn't blink, he kept observing Zegar's behavior, which had felt odd since earlier. Clearly, in a fight like this, such actions shouldn't be taken; excessively praising one's opponent would leave a very bad impression, and it was evident in how Highess's mood changed significantly."If I can't do something, I will lose to him! He also seems very calm facing me, in other words, he no longer cares about various things..."Zegar accelerated his steps, starting with one tap, then instantly delivering towards Highess.Tings...Attacks splattered out in the form of high-energy flows, possibly making the entire body feel pressure.Tings...Highess responded with a wide-eyed glare, managing to throw Zegar off balance, and then getting ready for the incoming attack.Tings...Exuding a high-level force, but there seemed to be no sign of fatigue between them. And, they began the f

    Duel For The Winner

    The monsters, after hearing this, immediately assumed a defensive position. Players stood with blank faces against the monsters."Why are there still active players at this early hour?" He remembered the habit of playing games tends to make everyone forget about time; he could understand if the player was experiencing the same, forgetting everything, including sleep time.And, if he saw one player here, then his brain told him there would be three players present; if not him, then it would be either Miyoko or Zegar. However, from the imposing appearance, wearing black armor, with a cold gaze, he could be none other than Zegar.He didn't expect to meet that player here, but it would be a shame to miss the opportunity to see what that player would do.Crash...Instantly, his eyes widened; the five monsters could be defeated very easily, without much effort."Hmmm... so he truly is a highly skilled player..." Highess muttered, noticing his trembling hand for no clear reason."Relax, I am

    Lack of time to think

    Highess then looked ahead and saw the atmosphere was very quiet. It was strange for him to think tat this early hour, he would encounter any players. This time was meant for relaxation, especially since today was the day the competition would end.He quickly checked the competition statistics and couldn't say anything after seeing that only a few players were present."Why is it like this? Did many players go on a killing spree yesterday because I wasn't active? But if that happened, why didn't the points of other players increase much?"Highess's points still remained at the top, while Zegar and Miyoko were still below him, with Miyoko's points not moving at all, remaining stagnant.He remembered the last time they met, wondering how it would be if they met now. Before, he wanted to be seen as a teacher, whatever kind of teacher that meant, but Miyoko was very serious about it."If she meets me, I'm sure she'll be angry..."Their parting seemed somewhat pointless. Highess easily left

    In Circumstances Like These Time is Very Important

    The situation became increasingly unfavorable until the shinobi began to shiver; he understood that fighting Highess one-on-one wouldn't be advantageous. So, he chose to flee instead."Oi..." Highess quickly pursued the player, unwilling to let a player who had attacked him get away so easily.He quickly attempted to chase the man, but he had to admit that his body speed wasn't good enough to catch up."Darn, if only I could have much higher speed, maybe I could catch him..." Highess grumbled, but it was futile; he still had to accept this as his defeat."Huh... that player's movements are incredibly fast; it seems I don't have many options..." As he said this, he indeed didn't have many options left; he had to let go of this incident.Returning to where the players had been, he noticed the bottles owned by the two players. After transferring, he received only 100, which was completely useless. Even hunting fairies directly would have been much better than this."Meh, I tried my best

    "No, don't do this to us..."Crash...The players who had thought they could survive had experienced a terrible event. Lately, players had been ruthlessly hunted by others, but this had become normal. It was clear they would remain targets."W-Why, why are you doing this?" asked a player who had lost his job before. His eyes begged for mercy, but a sword was already stuck in his body. It wouldn't be long until he lost consciousness."It's simple. Players like you are not needed!" replied the player, disdainfully staring at them.As the next day arrived, Highess decided to log in and see what the situation was."Huh..." He was surprised. Right before his eyes, he saw indications the situation had changed drastically. "Changes are happening so quickly. Weren't there around 100 players before? Why are there only 10 left now? Did many players engage in massacres yesterday?"He wasn't surprised by this. It was evident that all players were becoming increasingly panicked. With only three da
