Chapter 454

Chapter 454

The middle-aged man who walked out from the Oblivion Falls had a pretty large frame. He looked larger than an American Football player, and his size gave him a very imposing aura.

Wow Thats a bear rather than a human Siegfried thought before he flashed his Rune of Insight at the middle-aged man.

H-Hiiik! he shrieked after the details popped up in front of his eyes.

The reason was

E-Elder Blockhead?!

The middle-aged man was none other than the Sword Emperor, Betelgeuse.

[Betelgeuse]

[One of the continents Five Star Heavens.]

[He is an expert of blades, and he is arguably the strongest or the second strongest among the Five Star Heavens.]

[Type: Named NPC]

[Race: Human]

[Level: 450]

[Rating: Grand Master (NEW!)]

[Class: God of Blade]

[Titles: Sword Emperor, The One Who Splits The Mountains and The Sea, Five Star Heaven, One Who Transcended His Limits, Professional Slave, I Love Siegfried, Enslaved In His Final Years.]

Deus smiled after seeing Betelgeuse emerge from the waterfalls, Hoho So youve finally transcended your limits.

Siegfried added, Did Elder Blockhead finally become a Grand Master?

Are you blind? Cant you tell even after seeing it? He has transcended his limits and has reached a whole different level.

Wow

He finally received enlightenment and broke free from being a pathetic Master to become a slightly less pathetic Grand Master.

Deus referred to the realm of a Grand Master as "slightly less pathetic,"but Siegfried wasn't surprised by the remark.

Why? Because Deus was powerful enough to treat a Grand Master like a child.

Its Reversal of Age. A person who reaches the realm of a Grand Master will have their body reformed, and the result of that is getting their youth back. Of course, they dont simply become younger, but they become stronger as well.

I see

This was only possible thanks to this great beings teachings, dont you agree? Kekeke!

Siegfried did not dispute Deus brazenness. After all, Betelgeuse had hit a wall and was unable to progress even a single step from the realm of a Master. He tried to overcome this wall for decades but ultimately accepted his limits in the last years of his life by deciding to find a disciple to pass down his techniques.

However, that same Betelgeuse was able to become a Grand Master in less than a year, and this was a testament to how amazing Deus was.

Elder! Betelgeuse exclaimed and bowed at Deus feet.

Thud!

He smashed his head on a rock, obliterating it.

Your benevolence is as vast as the sky! Elderno, Master! Please allow me to show my respect to you!

Betelgeuse bowed nine times to display his utmost respect to Deus, who had helped him transcend his limits and become a Grand Master.

Keke! You seem really happy!

Master! I wont have any regrets even if I die right now!

Oh really? Then can I kill you right now?

T-That is a bit Betelgeuse instantly stiffened at Deus response.

No need to be so scared now! Kekeke!

Hehe

But Blockhead...

Yes, Master?

You are not my disciple.

Elder-nim

That fool over there is my one and only disciple, Deus said while pointing at Siegfried.

Master Siegfried almost teared up after hearing Deus' words. The fact that he had been recognized by the Level 999 Hidden NPC as a disciple meant a lot to Siegfried, and he had no idea how to express the emotions welling up inside of him right now.

Betelgeuse seemed sad after being rejected as Deus disciple, but he was not disheartened at all.

B-But I will still serve Elder-nim as my master! Betelgeuses exclaimed and bowed once again.

Hoho! Look at this punk!

Master! Please accept my bow! Betelgeuse exclaimed as he bowed nine times again before finally getting up.

Blockhead.

Yes, Master?

My disciple seems to have something he wishes to discuss with you.

Oh? Betelgeuse looked at Siegfried. Then, he asked, What is it, Young Master?

I need your help, Elder-nim, Siegfried replied with a bow.

Hmm?

Please, I am merely doing my duties as your little brother.

The mood in the Canyon Gorge was starting to warm up bit by bit.

Oh! You have finally reached the realm of a Grand Master!

Keke! What did I tell you, hyung-nim? I told you Ill become a Grand Master!

Hoho! We all know its all thanks to Elder-nims teachings!

Betelgeuse and Daode Tianzun chatted for a while.

Meanwhile, Siegfried went to give the Lich Skull Staff to Decimato.

This is a gift.

Y-Your Majesty! This is a staff with an Arch Lichs skull attached to it! Why are you giving me such a valuable artifact?

Siegfried then reunited with the living legend, Yong Tae-Pung.

Oh! Nephew! How have you been? Long time no see!

Hello, Uncle Tae-Pung.

Someone suddenly tried to shake Siegfrieds hand.

It is a pleasure to meet you.

Siegfried immediately recognized the person, Are you by any chance that person?

The person who shook Siegfrieds hand was someone so famous that anyone playing BNW would have heard of him at least once. This person was rumored to be South Korean, too, and he was currently sitting at the top of BNWs ranking list.

His ID was Beowulf, and he was estimated to be Level 299.

Surprisingly, the man sitting at the top of three hundred million users approached Siegfried first and tried to shake his hand.

So he's the strongest Adventurer

Siegfried suddenly remembered Cheon Woo-Jin's words.

A Ranker is going to the Sky Fortress. Hes really strong, and he agreed to lead the expedition, so please just follow whatever he says.

The Ranker Cheon Woo-Jin was referring to turned out to be the strongest player in the gameBeowulf.

Siegfried flashed his Rune of Insight and checked his details.

[Beowulf]

[Type: Named Adventurer]

[Race: Human]

[Level: N/A]

[Class: N/A]

[Title: N/A]

It went without saying that it was impossible to peek into Beowulf's stats.

My name is Beowulf.

M-My name is Siegfried.

I heard a lot about you from Woo-Jin hyung-nim, Beowulf said.

He knew a lot about Siegfried for some reason.

Beowulf then said, I will be in your care today.

Surprisingly, Beowulf was quite humble despite his prowess.

Does manners come along with sitting at the top? Siegfried wondered. He couldn't help but find that Beowulf carried himself very well, and there was something different about him.

Beowulf had this strange, overwhelming aura that seemed capable of dominating others even though he was being polite and humble.

Oh! Such a young man has already reached the realm of Master?! Daode Tianzun exclaimed.

M-Master?! Did he just say Master? Siegfried was shocked.

Oh my god!

Who would have known that there was a Level 300 Adventurer who had already become a Master?

Siegfried realized that Beowulf was like the sky to him, and he wouldn't be able to reach the latter anytime soon.

What amazing talent you have! Daode Tianzun exclaimed once more.

You are flattering me, Elder-nim. If I am not mistaken, you must be Daode Tianzun-nim, right? Please allow me to pay my respects.

Keke! Its good to see young fellas with manners!

Shwoooong!

A shrill noise penetrated Siegfrieds ears, causing him to flinch and turn around. He was not the only oneBeowulf, Daode Tianzun, Betelgeuse, Decimato, Hamchi, and everyone else in the Canyon Gorge turned around.

Shwooooong!

Something was falling from above.

What are those? One, two, three, four, five, six Huh? Why are there so many of them? Siegfried tilted his head in confusion and gave up on counting the objects plummeting from the sky.

The objects instantly multiplied to more than one hundred in the blink of an eye, and those objects were none other than

M-Meteors!

They were Meteor Swarm's meteors.
