Legend of the Executor - 15

Ouch... No, not the artifact...

Cut the nonsense.

Granton finally passed out after a heavy kick from Camu, who also took the artifact.

[player name], you take this one.

I thought Camu would put this artifact in his bag, but he only carefully examined it and tossed it to me.

I already have a piece. I need you to hold this one.

This thing will never be safe no matter where we keep it.

Wait. Was that an earthquake?

No need to ask, Karenina. It was an earthquake indeed.

Hey, Gray Raven. Lucia said they were going to search for Liv down there, didn't she? Could this have anything to do with them...

Let's go check them out!

Are you dumb? No way that was normal! Let's go down and check what happened!

[player name] can go alone. Your strength is needed elsewhere, Karenina.

Vera?

...Don't you understand? It's the King. He was hiding his power so we could collect the artifact for him.

We agreed, so nothing happened to us. But Lucia must have rejected. I'm sure she even said things like "I'll stop your evil plan".

That just gives me more reason to go!

What can you possibly do? We can't kill an enemy without HP bar in this game.

...Plus, he's the King. It will be impossible to kill him unless some special mechanism is triggered.

Before we entered the game, Kamui also said players could not kill important NPCs...

The right option is to just let the King beat them, so victory will be ours.

Do you still care so much?

Didn't you also play this game because you wanted to win?

Vera, we're running out of time.

I know.

I kind of saw this coming. Fine, just hold [player name]'s hand and get down there together!

Before I realized, Vera's attack landed on me, as well as Karenina.

Hey, Gray Raven! What are you doing?!

Karenina thought I was going to do something... But I was only trying to protect us from Vera's attack.

As we fell off the high platform, I saw Lucia's team confronting the King.

Vera

Use as many potions as you have. Don't die, [player name].

This was the last line I heard before passing out.
