( Meanwhile on the global forums )

The meltdown regarding the demon king was already a huge phenomenon on the global forums.

Videos of the Black Dragon breathing fire and destroying Thumba City were just beginning to go viral, when the bombshell of Leo’s new conquest was dropped upon every player.

The biggest point of discussion before Leo’s global announcement dropped, was the perceived low quality fight between Philips and the man riding the Black Dragon, who people assumed to be Demon King Anos.

The fight looked like a classic battle between good and evil from a distance, with Philips unleashing a spear of golden light, which was crushed by a dark black move of the demon king.

The netizens around the world had only started to debate fiercely about this clip, when suddenly the news about Leo killing a Demon Count went viral, followed by the clip of an explosion that went off in Thumba City, in what seemed to be a wyvern flying into a trap.

The angle at which that video was shot was not ideal and most of what happened after the explosion rang out was not visible, however, with the caption of the video saying ‘TheBoss…. Is that you?’ , netizens globally began speculating on what the hell was going on?

“What the hell is going on in Thumba City? On one hand the Black Dragon is burning it to ashes and on the other, ‘TheBoss’ is hunting his strongest generals for fun? Someone make sense of this for me?”

“Hey guys…. Honest question? Are we playing the same game as ‘TheBoss’? Because I don’t feel that we are–

I was struggling to kill a level 140 mountain lion yesterday and almost lost my life while facing it, while ‘TheBoss’ is killing Demon Counts and world bosses for fun.”

“Guys, did ‘TheBoss’ not kill one of the 720 Demon World Bosses just like 3-4 days ago?

And aren’t there supposed to be NO demons within Southern Duchy?

So how did he go from killing a Demon Boss there to coming to Thumba City now? Someone help make sense of this to me–”

“I just refreshed the global level rankings and it seems like ‘TheBoss’ has just gained 22 Freaking levels! The gap to the top has increased massively once again!”

“I am convinced now that ‘TheBoss’ is not a player….. There is no way normal players can dominate the way he is dominating this game.

He is either a reincarnator or an NPC and you can’t change my mind”

“The Boss is quite literally like a one man army! When all the players within Thumba City are running like wusses, he is hunting Demon Counts for fun”

“Hey guys….. The Boss killed a Demon Boss before, and now a Demon Count….. Chronologically, shouldn’t The King be next?

Is he really going to kill the demon king?”

“That’s it! I boldly declare today that chasing after the number 1 spot in the Global Leaderboards is no longer a viable dream.

From now on, even if you are dreaming only dream of number2 as there is no way in hell, anyone can ever catch up to ‘TheBoss’ ”

“The Boss is the greatest player of our generation! He’s the pride of humanity.

Sadly he doesn’t have an organization of his own, otherwise I’d follow a man like him in a heartbeat”

“The difference between ‘TheBoss’ and the other players is that of mentality.

When others see events like the Demon King attacking the city, the first thing they do is to whip out their recording screens and create private videos that can be purchased using coins.

While ‘TheBoss’ thinks about how he can kill them. He’s number one because he’s a mentality monster!”

“What spell do you think ‘TheBoss’ used in that video? What is his class for him to be able to use such powerful magic spells when most mages can’t even cast a proper fireball that explodes?”

Netizens on the global forums went wild with speculation on what was going on in Thumba City and what ‘TheBoss’ was doing, as nobody could make sense of his achievements anymore.

At this point, Leo had transcended the level of mere common players that could be hated and had reached a mythical status amongst gamers where people genuinely questioned if he were even real. Sёarᴄh the nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Some debated about how he moved across half the continent to show up at the right place at the right time? And how it was all too coincidental, while the others debated about if he were a real player or not?

Some debated about what class he possessed, while some felt inspired by his actions and decided to fight a few Demon Counts themselves, in hopes that they got lucky like him.

After the global announcement, there were a lot of players who were previously trying to flee Thumba City that now rushed back into it, with the intention of fighting a Demon Count.

Many of whom were recording the chaos, now tried to get-in on the action themselves, as they paused their recordings or created a livestream as they attempted to take down their flying opponents in the sky.

Leo’s achievements made it seem like anyone could be successful as long as they had the courage to challenge the impossible, however, unfortunately for most players, they soon found out that they were not ‘TheBoss’, the hard way.

As some players climbed atop rooftops and tried to attack the flying wyverns and their riders, they were slaughtered mercilessly with a flick of the Demon Count’s wrists.

Thousands of players lost a couple levels, some items and some coins for their stupidity of challenging an opponent far beyond their capabilities.

However, while most players casually discussed ‘TheBoss’ on the global forums, oblivious to the true difficulty of his accomplishments, Cervantez was the only one who truly grasped the magnitude of what he had achieved.

Cervantez trembled in his boots to even imagine the level of skill that it took ‘TheBoss’ to kill a Demon Count, as he could simply no longer fathom just how strong that man had become.
