Chapter 279: Day 1: Killing the Reverie's King

"I need the Queen to hop on the Phoenix."

Rini instantly rejected his idea, "no, that will never happen. I'm sure of it. The only reason she was on it because they are free beasts."

"Okay, then, tell her to jump off. She won't die, right…"

Rini frowned in response, "you want me to tell her to jump off? Why don't you just go down and pick her up, instead? And first of all, just what is your plan?"

Rini showed her stance regarding his idea. She already did a favor once as a way of respecting his strength but doing as he said again will make it seem like she was some subordinate or a servant.

So, Rini was like, either tell me the details or go and do the things for yourself.

If it was someone else showing that kind of behavior to him, Wil would have been offended very much but as she is future sister-in-law, he tried to forgive her.

Taking a deep breath, he said, "I want the beast in offense and the King is busy with defense. As long as it occurred even for a moment, I promise that I'll finish the king with my secret skill… Now, please pass the same message to her?"

Hearing it from the Phoenix, the Queen was taken aback and she looked upwards. She saw Wil with a serious expression.

"I'm going to take a gamble for one last time…"

Without wasting any time, she jumped off the beast's shoulder after instructing it to go on offense without caring about anything else.

"Your Majesty…" The Supreme Commander who was on the ground shouted in panic.

He rushed towards the place where she was about to fall but he was already too late and a huge crater formed.

He sighed in relief after seeing that the Queen is alive and well.

On the other hand, the Queen was surprised to see him. "What are you doing here?"

"I thought you might be in danger after I saw you summoned the protectors…" The Supreme Commander answered her with a worried expression. "You aren't injured anywhere, right?"

She shook her head in response and glanced at the sky.

Following the Queen, Rini also jumped off from the cloud. However, unlike her, there's a phoenix to catch her safely. She then mounted on its back and showed the okay symbol towards Wil.

Whether Wil was able to see the gesture or not, that's another thing…

Meanwhile, the beast hissed and flapped its wings towards the King.

"I knew it…" Just as Wil expected, the moment it became free, the beast spun around itself at a high pace, while its snake-head started to breathe out fire, creating a large spiky fire Spiningtop as it attacked the King.

The Reverie's king was taken aback by the sudden attack, although he dodged it successfully.

But, it didn't end there. Missing the attack, it returned with the same speed, making him trying to dodge once again.

For the next two minutes, it continuously tried to attack him and he successfully dodged every time.

As the beast stopped spinning, the King laughed and raised his sword. "Now, it's my turn." Since the Queen was no longer supporting the beast, he thought she was probably recovering her mana and decided to finish her first.

It was a very familiar skill to Wil. The clouds started to gather. He's going to unleash the lightning dragon.

Wil was excited. He waited until the king started to gather the lightning energy in the sword.

Immediately, a lightning strike descended onto his head. However, this one was generated from the nimbus cloud.

The Queen and Rini saw the flash of lightning below the cloud. Just as their faces about to glow in excitement, the King sidestepped in the air and the attack missed him.

'damn…' Rini muttered under her breath, "Eh?" In the next second, her expression changed.

"haha… Do you think you can ambush me again? It no longer… huh!"

The King saw only the nimbus cloud remained above him. Wil was disappeared from his view.

"Argh…" He screamed in pain as a metallic spear suddenly pierced him from the back. 

"Surprise…" The last thing he heard is Wil's simple yet terrifying word.

*Critical* "877,939,855,273"

His health was instantly dropped to zero and the body disappeared in the air.

"What!" Rini was stunned.

A few thousand players who are still on the ground, watching the battle were also stunned.

"Oh!" The Queen exclaimed and had a big smile on his face before she used her staff to create a barrier on Wil who was falling down at an extremely high speed.

*Boom*

As a result, another large crater was formed. Wil was lying on the ground, facing the sky and a laugh escaped from his lips.

*Ding! You killed Decimus Augustus Reverie. You received 100000 War points as a reward.

"hahaha… My gamble paid off… But, I guess I won't be able to use the skill as Time Traveler for now…"

The moment he saw the damage he absorbed is low, Wil thought it wouldn't be enough to kill the king. So, he made a plan of using it to take away the protection by Imperial medallion.

Then, he used the lightning strike at the perfect moment but that was a distraction. At the same instant, he summoned the "Metallic Spear" (level 300 skill) and then, activated the "Short Teleportation" Skill to teleport behind his back to stab him in the back.

Everything happened in a moment

Meanwhile, the others received the system announcement.

*Ding! Searvale wins the war against Reverie.

*Ding! Reverie kingdom turns into Reverie province.

*Ding! Players and NPCs of Reverie Province turn into allies of the Searvale kingdom.

"Are you alright?" The Queen jumped down and landed before him. She gave her hand with a smile.

Wil nodded and stood up on his feet but didn't take her hand.

"Lady Marten is right. You are indeed the key to win this war. And I should say that you are indeed a lot powerful than other otherworlders."

*Ding! Favorability with Queen increased by 50

"The War isn't over yet, Your Majesty. There's one more king to die…" Wil said as he looked at the horizon.

"Yeah, you are right…" The Queen nodded.
