[VRMMO] Dead One
Chapter 768 - 769 – Meeting of many – Part 2.
<<Welp.... I didn’t told them full story, but I told them necessary bits.>>
<<I’ve told them that I had found out that the Forgotten World is more like Forgotten Time than a world separated on its own.>>
<<That is the speculation I came up my own research.>>
<<And I’ve told them the story of the King Arthur.... A nutshell version of it.>>
<<I’ve told them about Caliburn and Excalibur.>>
<<And most specifically, I’ve told them about the sins of monsters by the name Merlin and Morgan.>>
"..."
"Morgan.... The false queen of spirits and fairies... And one of the halves of the mad mage of lies." – said the dragon king with concerned look.
"This is pure madness.... A mindless one no less."
"Yeah. It is." – replied ClownFrog.
"But that just makes things much more worrying."
"However, fact remains that she is on the loose...."
"And she is working with ’benefactor’."
"?"
"What do you mean by that?" – asked witch Puriwa.
"The golden blade that the adventurer who slain the demon lord." – said ClownFrog.
"GreyHunt had confirmed it that it bears striking resemblance to Caliburn."
"And it has somewhat same characteristics as Excalibur."
"!"
"Wait, you mean he is wielding that abomination of a blade?!" – asked the young demon lord Uther Neverend.
"Yes.... But the original blade was completely shattered and destroyed." – replied ClownFrog.
"Killed per say to be more specific."
"However, the fact remains that somebody made a brand new one."
"And the only one who could possible do that in the first place is the false queen of spirits and fairies, the mad monster of endless lies, Morgan."
"This is beyond problematic."
"..."
"And what worries me the most is the ’benefactor’ revealing it all willingly."
"He attacked once the Oin empire after the third prince faction has fallen."
"And he was beyond desperate to obtain something."
"A broken staff."
"It was straight up trash.... However, it later turned out to be the Caliburn."
"However, here is a thing."
"How ’benefactor’ knew that this broken staff was the sword of knights’ king?"
"And the fact that we had obtained it before the ’benefactor’ says something... Off."
"He should had suspected us of obtaining the true form of the sword."
"Even if we didn’t discovered its story, just the sheer gaze at the blade and we could probably guess he can make his own swords or something that would put ’benefactor’ in weird position."
"So.... With all that said."
"What the actual fuck?"
"..."
"This is truly worrying." – said the witch Elizabeth Pi’n.
"Yes... ’Benefactor’ always stayed hidden and had his ’allies’ act as his limbs."
"Yet not, he is committing these kind of acts."
"..."
"Okay. You. Demon lord." – said witch Korwial Von Wruj as she pointed at the young demon lord.
"..."
"What?" – replied the son of Abigail.
"What are you hiding?" – asked the witch Korwial.
"..."
"You bitch.... What the hell are you implying here?!" – asked pissed off demon lord as he did not even tried hiding his raging mana.
"The ’benefactor’." – said the witch Korwial.
"He did all of this to obtain Forgotten World items."
"If what the emperor is saying is correct, whatever is inside of the Forgotten Fragment in the Umil kingdom must be worth as much as that blade of a knights’ king."
"But assassination?"
"Did he really assassinated your queen for just ’intimidation’."
"Or is there something you are not telling us?"
"For example.... A hidden stash of Forgotten World items?"
"..."
"We didn’t had anything like that." – said the lich Armor as he stepped forward.
"The way that the ’benefactor’ forces struck was just straight up plain assassination."
"They didn’t raided anything that we owned."
"They just... Murdered the demon lord Abigail."
"..."
"I know what you are talking about, miss Korwial." – said ClownFrog as he stepped forward.
"But my people WERE in the demonic kingdom."
"They confirmed that only the terrorist organization known as Crown Kings, which are being supported by the ’benefactor’ were behind any form of damage that the demonic kingdom had suffered."
"They are not lying."
"I get why you are suspicious.... But unfortunately, they are not lying."
"And that just makes things way, way, WAY worse."
"He isn’t wrong." – said the dragon king.
"The reason why they went for the demon lord is simple."
"A message."
"They wanted to make a message with her death."
"And considering what they are doing.... Yeah."
"They are clearly not only aiming to obtain the Forgotten Items... Or more exactly, they are, but at the same time they want to let know everybody to not even try and get in their way."
"They are just like emperor said."
"Madness."
"They are aiming to truly declare war on anybody they see as long as they can obtain Forgotten World Items." – said the dragon king as each faction grown more worried, talking amongst the people of their own respective factions regarding this ’challenge’.
"..."
"Emperor ClownFrog."
"Besides discovering the truth of the Forgotten World items.... Of them being items from the time that was forgotten."
"Is there anything else that you can tell?"
"Unfortunately no." – said ClownFrog.
"And I don’t mean like I don’t want to tell you, it is more like I really don’t have anything."
"The Forgotten World.... The Forgotten Time... It is still beyond mysteries."
"And the only one that truly may know everything about is the ’benefactor’."
"However, considering what the ’benefactor’ has been doing, do you really think he will talk?"
"And it is not like we are his only targets."
"Heck. This isn’t personal like at all for him."
"He doesn’t care who his enemy is nor he cares about revenge."
"..."
"So the only way to do anything would be to obtain as many Forgotten World items, research them, and possible obtain the answer regarding the ’benefactor’s’ madness." – said king Michel.
"However, the fact that the ’benefactor’ posse’s army that dangerous.... And very likely can mass produce many sorts of monsters, which can be strong enough to threaten even mightiest of nations...."
"..."
"He will commit genocide."
"If the Forgotten Fragments start appearing once again at the massive scale like before, it will be a pure disaster."
"And we don’t know where he is, because he is always appearing out of nowhere... Probably has to do with that teleportation." – said witch Puriwa.
"Is it possible for your people to somehow do something about this?" – asked the dragon king.
"Well.... There ARE means of nullifying, blocking, disturbing or even back tracing the usage teleportation type magic." – replied witch Puriwa.
"However, how is the ’benefactor’ able to do several mass teleportations that can warp in armies on the go?"
"Some random bacon won’t do."
"They would need teleportation gate for it."
"..."
"We will research it."
"But at the same time, we will also need to conduct our own investigation."
"There maybe some key factors needed to be in place in order to use that teleportation."
"I hope you all will cooperate."
"..."
"Last issue." – said the king of Umuri kingdom.
"What do we do regarding the Forgotten Fragment in Umil kingdom?"
"I’ve already decided to what to do with it." – said Umil.
"I will hand it over to the Garog empire."
"As the things currently stands, we need to clear the dungeon as soon as possible before the ’benefactor’ forces once again launch their attack."
"The security of my kingdom isn’t weak by any means and yet.... They not only teleported army inside of my kingdom, but also strong enough to slay my own soldiers."
"I will need to increase my whole kingdom security and conduct several search."
"But for now?"
"I wish that those items from that dungeon leave my kingdom for the time being."
(Honestly, I know these items possess POWER.... But at the same time, I cannot endanger my people now, after we are about to completely finish off the Crown Kings.) – thought Arrianhi Umil.
(I’ve already made the deal with ClownFrog to hand over those items to him.... And now I have even more reasons to hand over these items while were unprepared.)
"..."
"But still, I’m worried about something." – said the witch Elizabeth Pi’n.
"The fact alone that the ’benefactor’ started moving like this is a problem, yes."
"But what if somebody joins hands with ’benefactor’?"
"He maybe untrustworthy."
"But there are a lot of fools out there who would betray all their love for power and status."
"Just like it was with that so called terrorist group called Crown Kings."
"Traitors who were tempted by the ’benefactor’."
"If there are truly idiots who would sell their souls to the ’benefactor’...."
"Then it won’t be just war between terrorist organization and kingdoms, but instead a war between kingdoms." – said king Michel Umuri.
"Yes... That is the most worrying part." – said ClownFrog.
"The ’benefactor’ is aiming to throw the entire world into the chaos, straight up setting everything on fire."
"As long as he can obtain Forgotten World items."
"..."
"I will make announcement on my end."
"Regarding the ’benefactor’ activity."
"If you like, you can make the same announcement to your people, to your allies, neighbors or just anybody."
"From what I’ve told you.... Honestly, I only want to keep a secret information regarding our own sword, Caliburn and the fact that we know the truth regarding the Forgotten Time."
"???"
"Wait, hold up. Why do you want to hide THAT part specifically? I get the world, but the secret of the Forgotten World?" – asked the witch Korwial Von Wruj.
"Yes.... Honestly, I do want to release that information myself." – said ClownFrog.
"However, it may bring fourth consequences that may straight up make things even more chaotic."
"We will reveal that information."
"But not yet."
"And I’m asking you right now."
"To keep it a secret for the time being."
"If you don’t mind."
