What could Allen Blake, Sword Yuseora, and Ercia La Lodreim , without the Royal Sword, possibly accomplish?

The siege began with that concern. However, the unfolding battle was a series of surprises.

How many Sacred Replicants is she using? It was possible to push them back like that?

Even the Sword build seems viable like that;;

Yuseora kept pulling Sacred Replicants from her inventory. It looked as if she was drawing an endless supply of swords.

And with those swords, she single-handedly displayed overwhelming firepower against the Demon Lords. But there are definitely limits because it’s Allen Blake.

He can’t even defeat Demon Lord Raus alone? The first three Demon Lords were truly a victory of strategy.

Compared to Yuseora, Allen Blake seemed weaker.

Of course, considering Allen Blake’s initial stats, even fighting a Demon Lord on equal footing was unbelievable, but compared to Yuseora, he definitely looked weaker.

But then, a message appeared that diverted everyone’s attention from their performance.

[‘Ercia La Lodreim ’ inherited the 5-star holy relic ‘Royal Sword.’ A light symbolizing the change of kings in the Lodreim kingdom stretches towards the sky.]

It meant that Ercia La, who entered the White Tower, had defeated the 72nd Demon Lord.

She defeated a Demon Lord? Without even having the Royal Sword yet? Even with her high growth potential, she should still be weak at this point?

MintLemon explained to the viewers,

“It was the Sak route. Well, she changed course midway and trained under Gwen Reedval. After that, she enrolled in the Hero Academy… and as you all know…”

Sak route? What’s that? It’s that bullshit route where you escape the kingdom. But how do you even get training from Gwen?

I think that also happened because Allen Blake stole the Sak route. But she would have died without Allen Blake back then lol. So, no one can really complain about him stealing the route.

But even though Ercia La inherited the Royal Sword, one problem remained.

The viewers seemed to notice it as well.

└But why isn’t there a message about defeating the 72nd Demon Lord?

└Right?

└Shouldn’t it appear if she inherited the Royal Sword?

It was a strange situation.

Then, a hypothesis flashed through my mind.

“What if the 72nd Demon Lord awakened simultaneously?”

Of course, the probability was extremely low.

No way.

Nah.

Impossible.

But no matter how low, a probability still existed. And as if to prove it, Allen Blake’s movements became even more urgent

‘Allen…’

I believed he would make the right decision. If I was right, Ercia La, who was still underground, would be in grave danger.

If this was the Allen Blake I knew, Ercia La would be precious to him. Of course, depictions of romantic relationships between characters weren’t very explicit in the game.

Even childbirth was simply depicted as a sudden pregnancy. It was probably because it was a game for all ages. But I could tell from Allen’s actions so far.

That he cherished Ercia La.

And finally, a message appeared.

He used his enhanced stats to subdue Demon Lord Raus, whom he had been fighting.

This was the fourth Demon Lord he had defeated in this place alone.

He had accumulated 800 SP from that alone.

But he still hadn’t inherited the fourth stigma.

‘The required accumulated SP for inheriting stigmas increases as you progress.’

The second stigma, Royal Mark, required 500 accumulated SP.

The third, Crow’s Mark, required 1500 accumulated SP.

The fourth stigma required 3000 accumulated SP.

And he didn’t seem to intend to use the currently accumulated SP yet.

The skill he randomly inherited from Yuseora wasn’t very cost-effective.

That skill, representative of the Sword Yuseora build, consumed a massive amount of SP, but wasn’t very efficient for Allen, who had properly inherited Libero’s swordsmanship.

‘He adopted Crow’s Mark because of Overload in the first place.’

Overload was almost Yuseora’s only trait, so inheriting Crow’s Mark guaranteed inheriting Overload.

And Overload, despite consuming holy relics, was a suitable trait for Allen, who needed a way to compensate for his inherently weak stats.

‘So he’s saving the SP for the next stigma?’

That seemed like the most rational decision, even to me. If he could just overcome this crisis.

‘If the 72nd Demon Lord truly awakened…’

Fortunately, Ercia La’s death message hadn’t appeared yet, but the situation must be dangerous.

Moreover, even if Allen went down there, he seemed to have few means of defeating the 72nd Demon Lord.

‘What if he inherited Overload and Yuseora’s skill, along with Gravitus Replicant?’

Even then, it seemed difficult. Nevertheless, Allen was descending the White Tower without hesitation.

And finally, he found Ercia La, on the verge of death.

‘Her stats…!’

I immediately selected Ercia La to check her current status.

It was impossible to be alive with both of those conditions. Except for one case. Her skills. As expected, there was a specific skill.

Indomitable, a skill that allowed one to continue fighting for a certain period even after HP and mana were depleted.

And it was S-rank, a rank I had never seen before.

Indomitable can be S-rank?

How long can you last with S-rank?

But what’s Illusion Swordsmanship (A)?

I’ve never seen this kind of Ercia La build.

At that moment,

Allen received the Royal Sword from her.

Why is he doing that?

Even without Gravitus Replicant, there are better holy relics, right?

He can’t even activate that anyway.

What was he planning?

‘Sublimation?’

His skill suddenly came to mind.

But even with that, he couldn’t activate the Royal Sword, a 5-star holy relic.

Sublimation raised the rank of a skill or trait by one level, but his [Royal Authority] trait was only ‘Minor.’

‘Even ‘Intermediate’ isn’t enough to activate a 5-star holy relic.’

There were other ways to obtain ‘Intermediate’ traits besides Sublimation.

But none of them had ever succeeded in activating a 5-star holy relic.

‘So even with the Royal Sword, Allen…’

Just then,

Another message followed.

What was that?

As I wondered, the screen flashed with effects.

The Royal Sword began to flicker.

└What is that!

└My eyes!

└Streamer!

The chat exploded.

But I simply watched Allen, gripping the Royal Sword, with a serious expression.

He was once again attempting to achieve the seemingly impossible.

A message appeared on the screen.

And simultaneously, everything on the screen froze.

Only his sword strike moved.

└???

└What was that just now?

└Is that really Allen Blake?

└Isn’t that similar to the 13th Demon Lord’s cutscene?

└That was cool, but it was basically an instant kill, so it was frustrating;;

The Demon Lord vanished along with particles of light.

A new message appeared on the screen.

It seemed impossible for him to win.

Yet, he overcame it and escaped the collapsing White Tower, carrying Elsie on his back.

The viewers couldn’t help but be awestruck.

└Honestly, there haven’t been any updates since Allen Blake was added, so even if the servers were down for a while, I can accept it lol.

└This is more entertaining than what I usually play.

└Can he actually reach the ending?

They weren’t the only ones excited.

I had been captivated by Allen even before they were.

I hoped he wouldn’t die.

I hoped he would survive until the end and achieve his goal.

“Will Ercia La be okay?”

MintLemon seemed worried about her Ercia La.

“That’s…”

Ercia La was definitely in critical condition.

Even I, with my extensive experience in Hundred Braves, couldn’t say for sure.

But…

“Let’s trust Allen.”

He was running with all his might, carrying Ercia La on his back.
