Chapter 1751 Three Winged Angel Dungeon -Part 19
The Masked Announcer came through from the corridor from behind them and clapped slowly. This time, his clap was not one of annoyance, nor elation but from admiration.
"To think you could solve his trouble with just one sentence."
"He was looking for a way out all this time. And the people who fought him did not understand that what he wanted was just someone to relate to his problems. They only went with brute force and so he responded in kind." Jin said as he stayed in his System Rider form.
"Why would you conclude that way? The rest would not have done the same as you." The Masked Announcer asked.
"Not sure. Maybe, all they had for him was fear. I had admiration for him." Jin said and Masked Announcer clapped once more, this time it was louder. "Bravo. Bravo! This particular match exceeded my expectations after what you did previously disappointed me! I am willing to recognise that you have succeeded in this particular round! The Treasure is now yours!"
With that, the masked announcer disappeared and Byakko was disappointed. "I was honestly expecting a fight and now, I had none?!"
"Maybe Byakko, I should just bring you out everywhere I go, then the fights would be concluded before they started. I like this." Jin smiled and Byakko got annoyed and returned to the crevices of Jin's subconsciousness as he deactivated his System Rider. In the meantime, he quickly checked on Yinn who was panting heavily.
The strain of the new upgrades was eating on her so much that she was unable to stand. The System's analysis quickly showed that she was already low on power charge thus Jin immediately pulled her connection plug and started to use his Maqi which eventually turned into electricity to enable her to regain her strength. Of course, the System was there to tell Jin how much output was to be given otherwise, it would end up shocking Yinn instead.
It was a painful process for Jin since he had to finely regulate the power into an alternating current and it took time for the Mechanoid Porters to come in with a portable battery charge. It was only when she stabilised, Jin let go and sat there for a moment.
"I honestly thought that we should shoot that part of armour."
"I think if you do that, you will cause the boss to explode his entire arsenal of mechanoids out. He was revealing his most exposed secret to everyone, and people thought otherwise. They would think like you, thinking that hitting that portion, will kill him immediately. Instead, if you destroy that, he would come after you with everything he got."
"That is correct." The Masked Announcer came by.
"I thought you disappeared," Jin said and he smiled.
"Nercomechanoid is a hero that had fallen from grace. He gave too much for the society, for his commander, and ultimately for his King and Queen. But what he got in the end? Damnation for eternity. They killed his wife, the one and only thing he treasured the most and you know for what?"
The rest kept quiet and waited for the Masked Announcer to finish.
"Just for not showing up at the Royal's party and to aid a sick man in bed which the couple knew. People spied on her and snitched that she was cheating on him when obviously, she was just passing out medicine to him and stayed to chat a little."
"The Royals heard it and what did they do to her? Jailed her for betraying Necromechanoid. He who had run countless dungeons, cleared monsters, and earn resources beyond anyone could have ever done. Changed his body to be a partial mechanoid and later gained dungeon artefacts that subsequently turned him into a Mechamancer. All for the sake of the country."
"But a request to get his wife out of jail was denied. In return, the Queen asked him to marry her daughter instead."
"It's all a ploy…and he refused."
"Off to the gallows for the betraying wife!" The Masked announcer said. "He cried, he stood there and subsequently realised that he had the power to stop all of this even as the audience was booing at his wife. As she was about to be hung, he rescued her, and he was named traitor. They ran, ran away as much as they could but to what end?"
"Eventually, his wife got tired of running mainly because she found out she too had become sick. Of a disease that was immortal and could not be cured. Yet, he did not know."
"Thinking it was his wife's request for nostalgia, they returned to the place where they first met after running so long. The dungeon. This very own Three Winged Angel Dungeon! And what she did was she killed herself when he was not looking, making it as if the monsters got to her."
"She never wanted to let him know she was dying from a disease and wanted him to let go. Let go of the vow he took. Till Death do us part. Little did she know that he agonised for her so much, that he became the monster that guards this land."
"And you gave him peace. Words of affirmation that he did enough." The masked announcer said and he disappeared again.
"One more reason to kill the royals. They seem rather a bastardy for a couple who ran the Empire for so long."
"That's how they maintain their power and status. Any kind soul would have already been killed by now with all those wanting to go up to the top." Yinn replied.
"Are you sure there are no good leaders?"
"You are okay, I think? And you have the strength to back it up." Yinn suggested and he laughed. "Even I believe Archduke Dyke has his secrets but he still seems better than the Royals for now. Who knows what would happen it he actually became King and there were many of those 'sponsors' asking for favours again? Eventually, it's those people at the back who installed these puppets."
"Well, Archduke Dyke is my puppet, so he has to obey me rather than them." Jin laughed as they returned with the porters back to Old Flammet.
