"I already started investigating it, We spotted Endless Team in the Vulcan Empire so we followed them, some of our thieves who have stealth followed them in the Death Valley, They reported that the team Entered the Temple of the Kings, a place here in the Vulcan Empire." Piercing Rose reported.

"So what's the problem!?, get some experts and enter the dungeon!", Sharp Fang said.

"Elder... The Dungeon won't open. We already tried and the local players said that no players can open it, they say that even the guild Black Domain tried to venture the temple but even them can't enter the Temple." Piercing Rose reported.

"Then request some information on Endless about this! do whatever you can to get the information out of him, we need to be the first guild to finish it! buy the first clear in you can!", Sharp Fang ordered.

"I will do my best", Piercing Rose said, after that she dropped the call.

The Black Domain Guild

"They already killed another Boss type monster, Astaroth what did you gathered?". Mephisto asked his brother.

"They entered the Temple of the Dead," Astaroth said.

"I thought that the Temple of the Dead is an expansion that will only be open after a couple of events?", Mephisto said.

"That is our conclusion too, We're already gathering information on how the Endless Realm Team was able to venture inside the Temple," Astaroth reported.

"Make arrangement, we need to know some details regarding the temple, place thieves with concealment skill and wait for them to come out," Mephisto ordered.

"Do we attack upon contact?", Astaroth asked.

"No, we negotiate", Mephisto said.

"Next is the last stage, "Light said.

"I think we need to replenish our items and equipment first before venturing to the final stage". Wolf Hound said.

"What if we peek first and see the boss's room" Grid said.

Suddenly a call interfered the team's discussion.

The team saw the caller I.D and it's from Piercing Rose

"T...The war G.o.ddess is calling you?", Wolf Hound said.

Zeek then answered the call.

"Congratulations on finis.h.i.+ng another first kill", Piercing Rose said.

"Hahaha, Thanks, but can I ask you to get straight to the point?, We know that you didn't call me just to congratulate me."

"Then I'll get straight to the point, The Elders requested me to investigate you, and I'm not that kind of person who stalks and waits for an opportunity to ambush you for information. That being said, I want to buy any information on the bosses that you've killed, we know that you're in Vulcan Empire. . . Is it a hidden dungeon?, like Rock Empire?", Piercing Rose said.

"To tell you the truth. . . I'm not sure myself, A quest led me here and I'm not sure about it either.", Zeek said.

"So if it's a dungeon and you already killed 2 bosses. . . You're already in the final run?," Piercing Rose asked.

"Yap, but I don't know if we can handle it... We will try it out first then we will contact you if something happened, then let's see how things go from there?." Zeek said.

"That's reasonable, I'll wait for your message".

After dropping the call Zeek explained it to the team.

"Are you seriously thinking of giving them the first kill?", Grid asked.

"It will be dangerous if our team name keeps on popping every time we kill a boss", Zeek explained.

"I'm with Endless, Other guilds will be targeting us if this continues." Wolf Hound said.

"This feats that you've achieved will be envied by the other guilds, you'll end up being recruited or killed, one way or the other", Healing Ray said.

"Hmm... Let's see the boss first then we can decide what to do next." Zeek said

The team started to walk forward, at the far end of the temple lies a spiral staircase leading downward. As the team progress down the staircase, a sudden cold breeze crawled on their skins.

"What is that!?," Grid said.

"An ominous aura, We ever felt this kind of sensation in the previous boss levels... Endless, I think this one is dangerous.", Wolf Hound said.

After walking for 20 minutes the team arrived in a poorly lit cave entrance, in front of them lies hundreds of statues carved in the appearance of the ruler who lies beneath them.

"These tombs are from the past rulers of the Demon Clan", Wolf Hound said.

"So there are hundreds of Demon King and one Shadow King?", Zeek asked.

"The Shadow King is a different existence that the demon kings, they said that the Shadow King is one of the G.o.ds that the demon clan wors.h.i.+ps.", Wolf Hound said.

"The Shadow King guards the treasure of all the past king. If a demon king is worthy enough to be judged by the shadow king he will then bestow them the cursed relic that he holds. But after the Great Holy War, the bloodlines of the kings vanished, and the cursed artifacts were sealed away."Healing Ray said.

"So what is the mission that Master Zafir gave you?", Wolf Hound asked

"I need to search the tomb Namir Azen," Zeek said.

"Namir Azen?, that name is familiar", Healing Ray said.

"He is the King of the dead, a magician who wields the Great Scythe of The Fallen G.o.ds, one of the lost cursed item", Wolf Hound said.

"You really know a lot", Zeek said.

"Yah... I like to read books sometime", Wolf Hound hesitantly said.

"This place gives me the creeps, let us search for the tomb first so we can get out of here," Lilly said.

The team then checked the tombs one by one.

"What's up with the Namir name?," Grid asked.

"It's the royal bloodlines name, In the legends, the name Namir means Everlasting Life", Wolf Hound said.

"Wow, that didn't go well, all the Namir's I see are dead", Zeek said sarcastically.

"Endless! here! the tomb is here!", Flaming Beauty shouted.

The team ran towards Flaming Beauty to see the tomb.

"So what now?", Wolf Hound said.

"We'll wake him up", Zeek said.

All of them was shocked.

"You know the saying "Let the dead rest or he will kill you if you wake him up". An old man said that... Let's follow the old man's advice, I think he's right, he died at old age avoiding the things that can kill him. and now we are here waking the dead that can kill us. Grid said.

"That makes sense, but this is my quest," Zeek said while smiling

Zeek approached the statue and pulled out a piece of paper with a magic array written on it.

"What you gonna with that? read it to him until you annoy him and he will magically wake up?" Grid said.

"Nope, we need to sacrifice you to wake him up", Zeek jokingly said.

"Screw you!"Grid said.

As Zeek revealed the piece of paper 100 small magic array popped out of it enveloping the statue. the magic array formed a circle and started to move in a circular pattern.

"Is this a Tier 10 magic!?" Healing Ray said.

"I think it's beyond Tier 10 magic, I never saw any magic that can encrypt so many magic arrays in one spell". Flaming Beauty said.

Healing Ray and Flaming Beauty are both past players of online VRMMO games like Piercing Rose and the others so they understand the composition of magic shown by multiple online games in the past. Every magic spell is encrypted with arrays. this array vary in every spell a player release, like for example, Flaming Beauty masters Fire magic, every spell that she cast consist of magic array from the fire spells the she posses, the color also varies from the spell that she cast, fire is consist of red arrays, wind consists of green arrays, blue array indicates water base, earth's magic array is brown and the 2 special elements consisting of white for the holy element and black for the dark element. Spells also consist of Tier Levels, These Tier Levels are an indication of the magic strength an individual can cast, for example. Tier 0 skills or the basic skill like the Fire Ball consist of only 1 magic array, while Tier 1 or higher skill consists of multiple magic arrays.

The Magic array in front of them consists of all elements, hundreds of different colored arrays rove on top of them. After a few seconds, the magic array started to gather on top of the statue, one by one the arrays started to combine, creating a small light, this small light suddenly explodes and blinded all of them, after the light vanished and the team regained there sights the surrounding became dimer again.

"So...That's it? that's nothing special." Grid said.

Suddenly the team felt tremors, shaking the ground violently, then the soil started to split, Black aura started to come out on the floor, the team felt the chill run down on their spines, their vision became blurry and some of them almost vomited on the spot.

"Endless!, This one is dangerous!," Light said.

Even Light and the others who played past VRMMO games never felt something like this before. A Boss Level Monster that can affect a players mind is unheard off, even the pressure that it creates felt real.

Nausea, Stomach Pain, Heaviness, etc. All of them felt like dying.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Outside of the Temple of the Dead

Piercing Rose and his team stood in front of the Temple, some of her members started to investigate the giant gate but nothing has happened. Piercing Rose then saw a group of individuals marching towards them. this players are from The Black Domain Guild lead by Astaroth the Vice Leader of the guild.

"What are you doing here Astaroth?". Piercing Rose said.

"I'm here for the same reason as you are War G.o.ddess". Astaroth said.

Suddenly the two guilds felt the extreme tremor, followed by the suffocating aura. Piercing Rose and Astaroth was shocked.

"What is this feeling!?,", Piercing Rose said while her vision started to get blurry

"Are you alright!?", Peppermint asked.

"It's coming from the temple, Is it the Final Boss Aura!?", Astaroth said.

"How can a boss like that exist in the early stage of the game?", Piercing Rose said.

Astaroth called one of his members.

"Report this to the guild leader!, Tell him to prepare as many members as he can and station them here.", Astaroth said.

"Peppermint, gather all our members, we need to prepare!" Piercing Rose ordered.

"Do you think it's an event?", Astaroth asked.

"Maybe, I'm not too sure, but that thing that we felt is no ordinary Boss". Piercing Rose said,

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Grave of the Kings

"Zeek I think we need to reevaluate our life choices right now", Grid said.

"Fall back for now?", Wolf Hound suggested.

"We need to try and let Endless examine the boss first, Only Endless can make a plan to defeat it." Light said

"Light is right, Zeek need to see the boss and determine our plans on defeating the boss, some of us will have to sacrifice our lives and Exp." Healing Ray said.

"Well then prepare to engage!" Wolf Hound shouted

Wolf and his team then positioned themselves in front, waiting for the boss to appear, Zeek then felt something is not right, he noticed that the darkness in the cave is moving, slowly swallowing the dimly light place that they stood.

"Wolf Hound! Retreat Now!"Zeek shouted.

But it's too late, a giant scythe appeared in the darkness and swept toward Wolf Hound and his team, but because of Zeek's intuition, Light had the time to react, he used s.h.i.+eld Dash and used it as a starting sprint to avoid the attack, he then struck Wolf Hounds s.h.i.+eld Sending him flying in the opposite direction, Light then grabbed Healing Ray to safety, Dark Instinct, Fire Starter and Sharp Edge died on the spot after being sliced by the giant scythe. The trembling started again and black smoke started to gather in front of the statue of Namir Azen.

Little by little the smoke started to form, behind the smoke appeared a tall man 6'7 in height, white long hair with sharp eyes colored red, he is wearing a red and black cape and a formal get up. Without warning, he dashed toward Zeek and his team, Light jump in front of Zeek to s.h.i.+eld him but the man just punched straight to the s.h.i.+eld and right straight to Light's chest. He then opened his palm and red Magic Arrays formed on top of Zeek and the others who are positioned near the entrance of the cave. Spikes colored black and red started to appear in each of the Magic Arrays, It fell straight down killing Wolf Hound, Lilly, Flaming Beauty and Healing Ray in the process, Grid and Zeek avoided the attack because of their speed and reaction time.

"Get Endless out of here! Light shouted before his HP drained to zero, and then vanished alongside the rest of the team.
