The Final Boss Has Returned 112

Chapter 112

[Level Up!]

[Level Up!]

[All stats have increased by 123.]

Following the quest completion notification, the level up and stat increase notifications popped up!

[The effect of the item ‘Compass of Fate’ has ended.]

[The item ‘Compass of Fate’ will disappear.]

Along with that, the Compass of Fate, having exhausted its uses, turned into silver sparkles and vanished.

[Is this Hidden Power dude crazy lol]

[Drakan hid the Seal;]

[What the lol Was Drakan a Hidden Power character all along?]

[What kind of name is Robo for the Wolf King lol It’s not even a robot;;]

Of course, the chatroom was going wild, talking about hidden power and whatnot, but that wasn’t important right now.

Wolf King Robo!

Despite having the appearance of an old man, his muscles were bulging as he slowly rose from his seat.

“Has the Contractor come to find us?”

“Yes.”

I nodded and repeated the line I had said during every race quest so far.

“Join the ancient alliance and acknowledge me as the Apostle. Five of the six races have already joined. Except for you Lycansropes who have flown to this other world.”

The Apostle’s Path!

It felt like the end of that quest was finally shimmering before my eyes.

At my words, the Wolf King hesitated, then lowered his head and spoke.

“I apologize, but this foolish me has lost the Moonstone Necklace, the symbol of the Wolf King…… Having lost the symbol, I cannot join the ancient alliance right now.”

[Ah lol That’s a shame lol]

[I thought I could pick Werewolf as my Otherworld starting race, but I guess not. I wanted to go to the Otherworld]

[Ah, when were Werewolves added; I’m getting dizzy; I want to be a beast-kin, ah]

[Honestly, if it were possible to cheese it here, it would be a trash game lol]

[Trash game? It’s obviously a chain quest lol Can’t you see the obvious? Those kids playing the Broadcast Edition are such noobs tsk tsk]

As the chatroom said, I didn’t expect the quest to be resolved here at all.

If anyone thought the quest would end here, they’d be eating their gaming experience backwards.

And considering the race quests I’ve done so far, there was no way the quest would end here.

Anyway, this was the time to take out the quest item to trigger the next chain quest.

“I have the Moonstone Necklace.”

I pulled out the ‘Tainted Moonstone Necklace’ from my inventory.

The Moonstone Necklace, eroded by purple magic, revealed itself under the heavily clouded sky.

Seeing the Tainted Moonstone Necklace I pulled out, Wolf King Robo spoke in a trembling voice.

“This is…… the genuine article. I never thought the Contractor would have this item. However, this necklace is currently contaminated by enemy magic and has lost its value as a symbol. Purification is required to use this necklace properly.”

“How do you do that purification?”

“It must receive the energy of the Twin Moons that rise in the night sky of Ard World. Therefore, it cannot be done here.”

Wolf King Robo answered with a deeply troubled expression at my words.

The Twin Moons referred to the two moons that rose in the night sky of Ard World. However, this place was not Ard World, but the other world, Broken World, so naturally, there were no Twin Moons, and therefore, the necklace couldn’t be fixed.

“So, in the end, we have to return to Ard World to restore the necklace and join the ancient alliance.”

“That is correct.”

“How do we return?”

“For the past ten years since we fell into this place, my tribe, including myself, has been searching for a way to return to Ard World, and we have discovered one method with a high probability of success.”

“What is it?”

“It is to activate the ruins of the ancient inhabitants in this Last Forest, which has now become an Infested Zone.”

The ruins of the ancient inhabitants!

Finally, a useful keyword popped out of the Wolf King’s mouth.

“The ancient inhabitants of Broken World, who were invaded by the Conquest Lord Hive Mind, planned to migrate to another world in their final moments, and they built a large-scale ruin in this Last Forest, including a dimensional gate for migration.”

I listened attentively to the Wolf King’s words, and he continued his explanation.

“However, the Hive Mind’s forces were powerful, and the last ruins built by the ancient inhabitants eventually fell into the hands of the Hive Mind and transformed into their Infested Zone…… To return to Ard World, our tribe and the Contractor’s party must secure those ruins.”

[A quest has occurred.]

[Return to Ard World]

[Grade: Legendary]

-Long ago, due to the invasion of the Conquest Lord Hive Mind, the ancient inhabitants of Broken World were forced to succumb to them despite fierce resistance. But they found a way, and as a last resort, they built a large-scale ruin to migrate to another world. However, the Hive Mind became aware of the existence of the ruin, and it was captured by the Hive Mind’s forces and fell into their grasp.

Due to prolonged contamination, the ruins have been transformed into an Infested Zone. Wolf King Robo, who finally discovered the existence of the last ruins through exploration and research on the ancient inhabitants, wishes to reclaim the ancient inhabitants’ last ruins and return to his homeland, Ard World.

Defeat the Hive Mind’s forces, purify the ancient inhabitants’ last ruins, and obtain the dimensional gate.

The path to return to Ard World will open.

[Quest Completion Conditions]

[Purify the ‘Last Ruins’]

[Will you accept the quest?]

And finally, the quest revealed itself before me.

A quest with a very simple objective: conquer the ruins and return to Ard World!

However, the Hive Mind forces occupying the ruins were unlikely to be easy, so just because the objective was simple didn’t mean the difficulty was simple as well.

But that didn’t matter to me right now.

“I’ll bring you that ruin.”

[Quest accepted.]

“Thank you.”

After accepting the quest and receiving the Wolf King’s gratitude, I looked at the handsome man, Eugene, who was standing blankly behind me, watching the scene, and said,

“You might already know, but I received a quest.”

“I think I can roughly understand the quest content after hearing the explanation from behind.”

“I’m glad you understand.”

“Please share the quest with me. I’ll help you.”

As expected of the self-proclaimed first-class pushover who volunteered to work without being asked, Eugene requested to share the quest as soon as I finished speaking.

[As expected of our Eugene-nim’s class; The benevolence to even help his enemy Drakan’s quest! This is why I’m part of the Infinite Eugene Church]

[You guys like benevolence, huh lol Isn’t your Eugene trying to leech off our Drakan-nim’s quest? Seriously, Eugene-tards have no conscience tsk tsk]

[What’s going on? Is this a fight?]

[Eugene-tards and Black Cows are building a useless colosseum again lol Why are they fighting when the people involved are actually on good terms??]

[Whoever wins, I win (popcorn)]

I looked at the chatroom, which was ablaze with talk about quest sharing, and shared my quest with Eugene.

It was better to share the quest if I was going to use him anyway, and above all, since this whole situation was being broadcast live, I needed to show a somewhat compromising attitude for the sake of public opinion.

“Thank you for sharing the quest, Drakan-nim.”

As soon as Eugene received the quest, he bowed his head and politely thanked me, and I, in return for his politeness, smiled and gave a thank you that I didn’t mean.

“I should be the one thanking you for offering to help.”

As Eugene and I exchanged thanks, the chatroom was flooded with comments about how heartwarming it was, and I continued speaking with a smile still on my face.

“Well, it’s been a while, so I’ll log out first.”

Now that I had received the quest, it was time to log out and discuss the quest with my dedicated support team and Jeil E&M in reality.

[Ah, is the broadcast finally over?]

[It was fun lol]

[Looking at the time, it’s been over 10 hours of non-stop broadcasting;]

[Time flew by lol What the, give me back my time;]

[Honestly, this broadcast is all-time legendary, agree? Y Agree~]

[Real talk, I freaked out when he flew to the Otherworld;;]

[It was an informative time where I learned that Eugene and Drakan have such good chemistry.]

[Collaboration call next time?]

[He’s in the Otherworld right now, so if he goes this way, the next broadcast will be a forced collaboration lol]

When I mentioned logging out, the viewers in the chatroom also started to wrap up the broadcast.

Anyway, the connection time, which should have ended after just clearing the dungeon, had been unnecessarily extended due to going to the Otherworld, so I needed some time to go back to reality and catch my breath.

Just as I politely mentioned this and was about to end the game.

“Drakan-nim.”

Eugene called me.

“What is it?”

Was there anything else we needed to talk about?

As I was searching my mind, Eugene spoke to me.

“Before you log out, I have a…… a favor to ask.”

“What favor?”

After a brief hesitation at my question, Eugene spoke in a cautious voice.

“Would it be okay if I…… sent you a friend request?”

He beat around the bush so much that I waited to hear what he had to say, and it turned out to be a friend request!

[OMG friend request;;]

[Wow, is this for real?]

[Breaking News. Eugene…… sends Drakan a friend request……]

[I want to receive a friend request from Eugene-nim too ㅠㅠ]

I let out a hollow laugh as I checked the chatroom, which was in an uproar after his words.

‘To think the day would come when I’d receive a friend request from Eugene, that guy!’

Eugene!

I was deeply moved by the fact that the day had come when I received a friend request from the guy I had fought to the death with in the past and who was still my target for revenge.

Of course, I needed to gain Eugene’s trust for the ‘division of the Lightwing Guild’ that I desired, and I had anticipated that the day would come when I would receive a friend request if I gained his trust.

Especially since I was the one who listened to Eugene’s ‘concerns’.

But apart from my expectations, it was truly a novel experience to be trusted by my sworn enemy and even receive a friend request.

Of course, that didn’t mean it was a bad thing.

No, it was rather a good thing.

After all, it meant that he had built up enough trust in me to send a friend request, and that trust would be a stepping stone for revenge in the future.

“I don’t mind, so do as you please.”

“Understood. Then I’ll send the request.”

Eugene smiled and said at my reply, and soon a friend request notification appeared before my eyes.

[‘Eugene’ has sent you a friend request.]

[Will you accept ‘Eugene’s friend request?]

And the answer to the notification window’s question was already decided.

“Accept.”

[You have accepted ‘Eugene’s friend request.]

I smiled as I saw the final message and logged out.

Eugene!

It was a day I was overjoyed that I had taken another step closer to the path of revenge against him.
