The PvP tournament continued, and just like in the original , Grid emerged victorious, defeating Regas, who had also reached the finals.
Regas' class relied on close combat, but Grid took advantage of flying magic attached to Braham boots, using his overwhelming attack power to land a decisive blow, logging Regas out.
"The champion of pvp is Grid!!" Announcer said as everyone began cheering. Now, everyone is on stage as the Pvp tournament ended and are here to receive medals.
Grid held up his hand in acknowledgment, but before he could say anything, the atmosphere suddenly darkened.
The Lion Castle, the arena where the PvP was being held, was one of the most prestigious and grand locations in the game. Yet, an eerie mist began to spread across the sky, turning it an ominous shade of black and red.
"How amusing…"
A sinister voice echoed through the air. The audience turned in confusion as a black vortex appeared above the castle, releasing a chilling presence. The very ground trembled as a figure emerged from the darkness, stepping forward with measured, deliberate footsteps.
Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.
With each step, the tension in the air grew heavier. As the figure came into view, the players felt an unnatural pressure weighing down on them.
"This… is this a surprise event?" someone murmured in shock.
"A hidden raid boss?" another guessed.
"Hah! Surely, Satisfy wouldn't throw in something this ridiculous… right?"
Blade observed the scene, his red eyes glowing faintly. He adjusted his dark coat, a smirk playing at the corner of his lips.
"This just got interesting," he muttered. "And look at that… they've even crowned a maggot as 'God Grid.'"
Blade chuckled as he turned to Grid. "Well then, why don't you show me what makes you worthy of that title?"
Before Grid could respond, a system announcement flashed across the sky.
[Emergency Event Triggered!]
[The Demon King of the Dark Castle has invaded the human world!]
[The Demon King of Darkness has imprisoned four innocents!]
[Goddess Rebecca has issued a divine decree: The strongest warriors must rise to challenge the Demon King!]
[She calls upon all who are willing to aid humanity in this crisis.]
[New Scenario: The Demon King's Rise]
[All players have 10 minutes to log in. ]
[After ten minutes, no one can participate in Demon King raid]
The PvP players who were already logged in stared at the announcement in shock, then rushed toward the castle gates, preparing for battle.
While the players who had been watching also rushed to join, the scale of the event became clear.
Seventeen countries were participating in the first national competition of Satisfy, with each team consisting of ten main players and three reserves. However, this emergency raid was inviting everyone present, meaning that right now, a staggering 221 players were ready to storm the Demon King's Castle.
Among the gathered rankers, Zibal, the strongest ranker of the US, observed the situation and muttered, "This is insane… we didn't expect something like this."
Another ranker voiced the question on everyone's mind. "What I'm most curious about is… what are the rewards?"
Suddenly, a new system message appeared before them.
[Goddess Rebecca has granted her blessings to all who have come to fight.]
[All cooldowns are reset – all skills are ready to use now!]
[All players have had their health, stamina, and mana fully restored.]
[A guide has arrived to explain the quest conditions.]
The players turned to see a mysterious figure in priestly robes stepping forward. His calm demeanor contrasted sharply with the chaotic situation.
"Are you the one sent by the Goddess?" someone asked.
The priest gave a small nod and began speaking.
"The name of the Demon King is Edalb. He is a being of overwhelming power, but to defeat him, you must first enter his castle through the only way into his castle that is the Four Gates at each side of his castle"
He crouched down and began drawing a rough map of the castle on the ground.
"Each gate is guarded by one of the Four Heavenly Kings. You must defeat them before you can reach the Demon King."
A player raised a hand. "Can we take them down one by one?"
The priest shook his head. "No. All four gates must be attacked at the same time. Otherwise, the other Heavenly Kings will come to aid the one who is being attacked and none of you will survive the combined might of them."
The stage of the Demon King subjugation was slowly revealed. It was a castle surrounded by a circular wall.
『 There are four gates to the north, south, east, and west. The gatekeepers guarding each gate are the four heavenly kings. 』
The castle was large, and the scale of the gates was also enormous. It was over 20 meters high and nearly 40 meters wide. The gates would never open until the four heavenly kings fell.
『 The 221 participants must defeat the four heavenly kings in groups of their making. Once all four kings have fallen and the gates opened, they will have access to the corridor leading to the Demon King's room. 』
『 Must they split up? Can't the 221 people move in one group to defeat the four heavenly kings one by one? 』
『 It isn't possible. Each gate is classified as an instant dungeon, and the dungeon is restricted to 60 people. 』
『 Hmmm... What happens if one of the four gates fail to be attacked? 』
『 Another party should take over instead. 』
『 Then does that mean the party members who failed will be disqualified? 』
『 No. They will be left as dead and resurrected once the gate is opened. 』
『 So, there is no disqualification unless all four parties are wiped out? Then all 221 players will fight against the Demon King? 』
『 Yes, it is designed to be 221 against one even if they fail at the four heavenly kings stage. 』
It meant the Demon King was strong. Many people guessed that the level of his strength was at least between the strength of the great demons. In fact, the Demon King showed an intense force during his appearance. The Aura released by him was undeniable.
Each ranker looked at each other as they heard the Priest guide.
A tense silence spread through the crowd. This meant that coordination was vital—if they didn't launch a simultaneous assault, they would be overwhelmed.
The priest continued, his expression serious.
" and one more thing the longer you delay, the more powerful Demon King will be"
[Once all Four Demon Gates are destroyed, players can enter the Demon King's Castle.]
[The Heavenly kings gives Gold medal as reward and it will be given to number one contributor of the group attacking the gate]
Hearing the Gold medal each player eyes widened so did the Audience, right now, South Korea is at first position with most gold medals so this is an chance to earn more gold medals and have their country win the very first National Competition.
