“Before that, shall we remove the pests!!?”

With an evil grin, the NPC then pushed his hands in air which tore the space apart, and from that space, he took out a staff.

“Now then, let me introduce one of my masterpieces to you.”

The staff at first glance gave creeps to the rankers. The face of the Supremes who saw the staff turned sour.

The staff gave off an awful aura, looking terrible as well. It felt like millions of souls were screaming while continuously dying. The staff can be said to be the incarnation of their agony and pain.

While they were terrified of the staff, the NPC explanation terrified even more.

“I have forged this staff with the bodies of your dead little friends. The power their bodies contained was more than enough to create this masterpiece. I wonder what masterpiece will take shape if I use you Supremes and player’s bodies who are close to reach godhood?”

“….!”

The terrific idea raised the hairs of the Supremes and scared the shit out of the legendary rank players as they all knew what happened of the players that were used as the ingredients for that staffs.

The data of many players were erased from the game and many suffered a massive experience loss. The top rankers were no exceptions as the data of those whose bodies were now under this NPC’s authority as death noble were also completely erased from the game.

The hard work, the lifetime of struggle to reach at the apex of the rank of the players were turned to nothing in just mere moments.

And the culprit behind it is standing in front of them, smiling creepily without minding the hate he is getting from all over the world.

“Well, it’s getting late. I guess it’s time to finish this quarrel.”

He then lifted his staff as he started to activate another skill and glanced between the Spear master, who was in the middle of fusing with the Supreme Goddess and the rankers.

“It was fun killing you all. Now rest and watch as your only hope dies in despair.”

He activated a spell as soon as he ended his words. Due to the sheer force he is emitting, both the top rankers as well as the Supremes cannot move no matter what they try.

He then flew upwards and looked down on everyone with a mocking gaze.

“Before that, ‘SPEAK’.”

Suddenly, he, out of nowhere let the rankers and the Supremes speak again.

“Now you all got your voice back, so scream all you want as you die!!”

Soon they discovered a big shadow covering the whole ground and themselves. Steeling themselves, they all looked towards the source of the shadow, much to their despair.

“Combination magic: Meteor of Desolation!!”

A humongous meteor, covered in dark flames is seen coming towards the earth. It appeared as a hammer of judgment, coming down to eradicate everything in its way.

Due to the meteor, the earth started shaking, with air swirling around furiously, seemingly warning everyone of the calamity that is coming.

Far from above, the NPC laughed menacingly as he looked at the despaired faces of the rankers.

“I will use your bodies well.”

With a grin, he dropped his hand and the meteor gained more speed as it moved fall towards them.

“Now die!!”

“Ahh…”

“This…can’t be….”

Everyone there stood helpless, watching the calamity coming towards them, waiting for their defeat

“We cannot die like this. We are the Supreme Beings, the rulers of Grandia. Do not look down on us.”

“You will not be spared, humiliating us like this. Just wait till the Supreme Goddess completes the process.”

“Blah...Blah…Blah. I waited long enough.”

The Supremes, on the other hand, blabbered again and again as if denying the situation they were in. The NPC, not minding them, shouted.

“Now. Time. To. DIEEE!!!!”

The Supreme Beings still shouted, but the top rankers closed their eyes, knowing their ultimate defeat.

“We are …sorry Spear Master. We cannot stall much time for you.”

“Let’s fight him all together next time when we will be more powerful.”

“Cecilia also lost her levels, now it’s our turn.”

“We …are…really...sorry.”

And so, they accepted their defeated. But…

“Sword Strike: Slash of the End!!”

A sudden sword attack from the back slashed through the meteor, slashing the unknown bastard’s chest.

Boom

The meteor then bursted into pieces, scattering everywhere and eventually disintegrating, leaving the NPC baffled and shocked.

Tap, Tap, Tap

“Who said we will die?”

From the back a figure radiating a bright, majestic aura appeared.

“It is you who will die, not us, you bastard!!”

The figure appeared to be the Spear Master, who was engulfed in the bright light moments ago, with a bright majestic sword. The majesty and power he emitted was enough to lift the fighting spirit of the rankers back to the peak.

Then rankers who have accepted their defeat have their face lit up and the Supremes who were cursing the NPC were astonished by the power the Spear Master was emitting.

The NPC, on the other hand, was in disbelief as he looked towards the Spear Master.

‘How did he…?’

The Spear Master then looked towards the Unknown NPC flying high above the sky and pointed the sword towards him with a grin.

“Now, shall ‘we’ have some fun?”
