100: Chapter 100 The Seven Legends Gather
[ "Fu Haos Eternal Fan" donated 50 Yuan. (Holy shit!)]
[ "Leon Fu Hao" donated 50 Yuan. (?)]
Although his equipment had undergone countless updates, almost no one failed to recognize Leonhardt's face. Even if they didn't, witnessing him arrive accompanied by two of "The Seven Legends" was enough to know this person was by no means simple.
"N-Nice to meet you."
Fu Hao was so shocked he almost bit his tongue.
[ "Jin Hao" donated 50 Yuan. (The meeting of the #1 and #2 ranked in combat power)]
[ "Class" donated 50 Yuan. (Is this reality?)]
Although Leonhardt had initiated the greeting, Fu Hao remained in a daze. Fortunately, Helm intervened in time, allowing the conversation to proceed.
"Leonhardt, long time no see. You haven't forgotten about me, have you?"
Helm spoke first, his tone sounding more like a playful greeting between old friends reuniting.
Fu Hao, who understood the past between Helm and Leonhardt, along with the watching audience, were instantly energized, waiting with great interest for what would happen next.
Although Fu Hao had successfully become Helm's disciple, Helm still harbored lingering resentment towards Leonhardt, which could be seen from the "Not fully over it" status in the "Helms Showing Off" quest.
- "Helms expression, hahaha."
- "Does Leonhardt actually remember this or not!"
In contrast to Helm's slightly displeased expression, Leonhardt responded in a light and cheerful tone:
"Of course I haven't forgotten. After all, not long ago I was considering whether to take you as my master."
"What did you say?"
Helm looked shocked, never having expected to hear such a sentence—not only him, but even Fu Hao, the other legendary figures, and all the viewers were stunned.
Helm tried to suppress his shock and continued to press, "Are you serious?"
"Yes. I had originally intended to visit you, but you had already taken on another disciple at that time, so I gave up."
Leonhardt looked at Fu Hao as he spoke.
Fu Hao and Leonhardt locked eyes, and his back was instantly soaked in cold sweat.
"It's over."
Although it wasn't intentional, the result was that he had effectively "stolen" the class Leonhardt had wanted.
Helm was still indignant: "Nonsense! You left without a word two years ago, and now you're saying you actually wanted to be my disciple back then?"
It did sound absurd—if Helm really had a vacancy for a disciple, why would Leonhardt have refused?
Fu Hao suddenly fell into a trance. He had also once refused to become Helm's disciple in order to keep his original class, and only managed to become Helm's disciple by using the "Dual-Core Mind" skill to achieve a dual class.
"...Could it be?"
An unsettling guess surfaced in his mind: Could Leonhardt, like him, have already obtained a "Dual Class"?
So far, Fu Hao was the only known dual-class player. But as a player who had been ranked first in combat power for years and possessed numerous hidden items, it was impossible to rule out the possibility that Leonhardt could obtain dual-class status.
Fu Hao prayed silently, but Leonhardt's next words completely shattered his hopes.
"I've recently become able to undergo a secondary job advancement. Two years ago, it was precisely because I couldn't give up my original class that I didn't become your disciple."
[ "Fu Haos Eternal Fan" donated 50 Yuan. (Leonhardt is my true god!)]
[ "Brain War Water Dragon Sword" donated 50 Yuan. (I dare not imagine how strong Leonhardt will be with a dual class)]
Although Leonhardt's "Weapon Master" was a hidden class, compared to other hidden classes, its "pitfalls" were relatively low—assuming, of course, that one had an overpowered skill like "Divine Control" to compensate for its weaknesses.
Otherwise, the flaws of the Weapon Master would be enough to make ordinary players curse, "How can this even count as a hidden class?"
Although it could use all weapons, which seemed flexible, the restriction of not being able to use attack skills was extremely fatal. In other words, one could only rely on class skills for output.
There was a reason Leonhardt insisted on using this "pain-in-the-ass" class—on one hand, he excelled at solo clears and needed a class that could freely switch weapons; on the other hand, his own combat style leaned towards "casual enjoyment," and "all-weapon compatibility" best suited his tastes.
But if a new class were added on top of "Weapon Master," it would be a completely different story—no matter what class was added, the resulting synergy would inevitably be devastatingly destructive. Of this, Fu Hao was deeply convinced.
Just being a legendary disciple was already terrifying enough, and now he possessed a dual class... This wasn't just climbing a single mountain, but crossing two snow-capped peaks in succession, with an endless path ahead.
Not knowing if he had sensed Fu Hao's internal turmoil, Helm's originally twisted expression slowly relaxed—having learned that Leonhardt had truly wanted to take him as a master, his self-esteem was greatly restored. Even so, Fu Hao still couldn't shake off the forced quest "Helms Showing Off."
"Passing up being my disciple to go and become Loki's disciple... What a weirdo, hahaha."
[ "Class" donated 50 Yuan. (Loki's disciple?!)]
[ "Fu Haos Eternal Fan" donated 50 Yuan. (Leonhardt actually became a Great Mage... I'm numb)]
"Loki's disciple?"
Even though Leonhardt had appeared alongside Loki, Fu Hao was still full of disbelief—how could Leonhardt, who he had never seen use magic, become a student of a Great Mage?
Although, judging by his achievements and number of titles, Leonhardt's stats did indeed meet the requirements for a magic-type class, his melee control, which could be called god-tier, was completely at odds with the style of magic classes, which involved long casting times and almost zero mechanical skill.
"Could it be that, like the 'Emperor,' he doesn't need to cast spells?"
If Leonhardt could also cast magic as casually as a basic attack like Emperor Endel, then even if he died hundreds of times, he wouldn't be able to win—but as a newly initiated legendary disciple, he probably hadn't reached that level yet.
"Anyway, this is trouble."
Regardless of how much strength Leonhardt had gained under Loki, one thing was certain: Fu Hao's original plan to recruit Loki was completely ruined. Even if Loki were truly short on money, he wouldn't turn around and throw himself into the arms of his disciple's rival.
Once the pleasantries between Helm and Leonhardt came to an end, Loki finally looked at Fu Hao:
"You are Fu Hao?"
"Yes, it is truly an honor to meet you, Lord Loki."
Fu Hao temporarily suppressed his fear of Leonhardt and hurriedly bowed respectfully—even if he couldn't recruit him, building some goodwill was a good thing, even if it was just mutual assistance.
"I've heard so much about you. Would you mind letting me see the 'teleportation gem'?"
"Of course, no problem."
Although Fu Hao was slightly surprised by this sudden request, he still took the teleportation gem from his bag and handed it to Loki.
"And the 'Mysterious Mask,' that as well, please."
Fu Hao was stunned, then proceeded to offer up the Mysterious Mask and other similar mysterious items.
"As expected, he's interested in microtransaction items..."
Most NPCs knew nothing about microtransaction items. Although Fu Hao had handled countless rare items opened from gacha boxes, he had never been willing to sell practical microtransaction items like teleportation gems or Mysterious Masks to NPCs—he was the only person on the entire server who dared to "feed NPCs" with microtransaction items, so it was normal that Loki had never encountered them.
Loki wanted microtransaction items, and Fu Hao coveted divine artifacts. For Loki, resources like money could be earned again at any time; but microtransaction items were an irreplaceable resource that only Fu Hao could consistently provide—using this to trade for a divine artifact, his chances of success increased greatly.
"He's got the research bug again."
Seeing Loki staring intently at those items, Helm and Karlos couldn't help but retort: "Loki, put the research aside for now. Can you explain why you brought Aria here first?"
"Ah, sorry. But before that, let's confirm whether the Demon King has really been executed, shall we?"
"Does that even need saying? Just look at the reaction of the Demon Race detector."
"It's just... it's too hard to believe. For the first time in my life, I'm doubting a divine artifact I created myself."
Helm described in detail to Loki how Fu Hao had enabled the nun to possess Saint-level Holy Power, while Loki shared the "Holy Power Maintenance Device" he had developed.
"So, you brought Aria here to prevent the Demon King from not being fully dead?"
"That's one reason. But... you arrived just in time."
Loki looked up at the sky, and everyone followed his gaze.
They saw three massive, Teleportation-class dragon-type monsters, "Wyverns," rapidly approaching.
"It seems I'm not the only one exploring the skies."
Loki murmured softly, and the three wyverns landed steadily beside the aircraft.
"Welcome, Antinas, Coleman, Ulups."
Before the three could respond, he announced on his own:
"The Seven Legends have assembled. The reason I brought Aria is to convene the 'Legendary Assembly'."
