Versatile: Alternate World

Chapter 518 Slayer Of Immortals (III)

King Arthur did not die just yet. As an immortal, his tenacity of living still tried to get the best out of being nullified. Of course, his end is still the same as he does in the real world. The only difference is that Bedivere is not there to witness his eventual death.

"I don't know what is going on, but how did someone like you managed to even kill me...it doesn't make sense..."

"It's Mordred's descendant who killed you, not me. I am just a catalyst for your eventual death but that's all I have in my job here. In fact, this event is just for us to receive your relics and nothing else. Perhaps the main reason for you still existing is for the usurper to eventually defeat you. You might be immortal but you never have been a dangerous guy with all the things I did to ensure the eventual victory."

"F*CK... but tell me, why did you have the Carnwennan in your hands? I am quite sure I used that to seal the Pendragon for my consumption of the blood why is it back in its former form and has even gained more abilities?" Despite struggling, King Arthur can still speak that much huh? As expected of this guy, he still refuses to die just yet.

"Simple, I took the Carnwennan, killed the dragon while it is still weak, and repaired the weapon."

"But the Carnwennan is not an easy weapon to repair without losing some of its abilities. How come you managed to retain them and improved them?"

"You have to thank the Lady of the Lake and Merlin about that. Anyways, there is nothing for me to do now, so I will leave you to Almira. It's not my job to continue talking to you, I don't have much business with you in the first place."

And with that, I left and went to Almira who is still struggling to stand up. She is using the Clarent in her hands to support herself to stand properly though she is on the verge of falling. Her face is pretty pale due to the loss of blood and I can see that her HP is also at critical levels too.

"Master, stay still, let me use some splash potion for you to heal the wounds in your body."

Although King Arthur did not stab or slice Almira directly, the attacks are made by the Secace as that is the only weapon capable of attacking without directly hitting the opponent. It is an annoying mechanic of the Secace since, at times, it does not activate and at some random times, it activates. That is the main gripe of the Secace's abilities. Other than that, it wasn't that bad at all as long as you ignore that special skill.

But with the Secace digested by the Versatile Weapon, things are no longer applying the same way as I cannot retrieve any weapons that have been devoured by the Versatile Weapon just like how you permanently lose a weapon if you use it for amalgamating a better weapon.

Also, it also lies in my decision whether the skill that causes that effect will be transferred to my Versatile Weapon. I can only choose one skill to transfer which means it is up to me to either pick that skill up or get rid of it completely.

Almira's wounds have finally closed up and the color on her face is slowly returning. It's not that bad but her body is still too weak from fighting against King Arthur especially enduring some of the blows that she received from it, it was no joke coming from someone who personally experienced it and have one of my limbs severed as a result.

When her visible wounds are gone, I handed her an XL Health Potion to heal her HP back to full since a small Health Potion bottle won't even do much help with that. Her health is much higher than that.

"Haha, I never expected to be subject to this. If you are not here, my apprentice, I might be dead by now."

She slowly opened up the potion bottle cap and drank the whole thing down to the last drop. Since the potions I made are quite potent, it didn't take long for her to recover back to her usual self she is still a bit weaker than before but she can now manage to properly stand and walk on her own.

"I will have to finish what I had started."

She then started to walk towards the dying King Arthur while holding the Clarent.

"You are still not dead yet, huh? As expected of the tenacious hero who wields the Excalibur. Despite losing the Excalibur, you still retain the vitality from that sword huh?"

"Heh, you underestimate how long I held that sword in my hands. Despite how many times you stab me, it will take quite some time before I will die."

"Is that so?"

Almira then turned to look at me and I throw the Carnwennan to her. Despite having a hard time breathing, King Arthur forced a smile on his mouth.

"So what will you do now that you are about to finish the one who killed your grandfather?"

"What else? Go back to my business. There is nothing I would do anyways so why ask me something pointless? Anyways, its time to finish you up. This is gonna be painful but even then, you need to suck it up. You are a bastard after all."

Once Almira finished talking, she spins the Carnwennan on her hands before stabbing it to King Arthur. King Arthur puked blood but he still didn't die. Almira then changed her equipped weapon into the Clarent and finished off King Arthur in one slice, killing him once and for all. I even received a message of his death.

As much as King Arthur in the real world is idolized and respected, in the current Alternate World, it seems that the Alternate World's King Arthur is the main cause of why the Round Table has been disbanded. It was clear as day as of why King Arthur has the weapons of the members of the Round Table and although we didn't see him wield all of them, I am quite sure that he was the one responsible for why they are no longer mentioned much and all of them are now labeled as the weapon of King Arthur in which he shouldn't be the one holding it.

Not only that, but it is also quite rare to find King Arthur without his Excalibur which is his signature weapon whatever kind of story he was in.

Overall, the King Arthur in Alternate World is a big pile of mess and was just a filler to fill in the story line just for players to be engaged and challenged in taking the relics that King Arthur possess.

Almira pops a cigarette on her mouth and puff a small smoke on it before throwing it to the body of King Arthur which resulted to his dead body igniting to flames.

"Grandpa, finally, I managed to avenge your death. May you rest in peace along with the others too."

With those flames, the quest has finally ended. The expedition team pushes on more and we entered the same underground area I was in before. Since I already know the details of the area, I led everyone to the cave where King Arthur previously lived.

I also revealed that King Arthur was keeping giant beasts inside which causes Queen Tanya to start her rampage and killed them all. Thankfully, they are not strong enemies that would be equivalent to a behemoth but I just wished she helped us during the battle against King Arthur instead of watching us while eating popcorn.

Everyone also apologized when they didn't enter the fray to fight after finding out it is King Arthur and when Almira jumps in, they are also hesitant to ruin the battle of the NPCs and perhaps ruin everything. Not only that but they are afraid of being one-shotted by King Arthur.

In the end, the exploration came to a close. Despite the battles were dangerous, it didn't really give much danger to most of us.

While everyone of us are in the carriage, most of my companions are now sound asleep, except for Sigma who is still awake but just closing her eyes to take a little nap though she will wake the first sign of commotion will occur.

After King Arthur died, I received a notification bell about his death and from that message, I received some sort of reward. I didn't check it carefully before so I am not sure what it was. I checked my inventory and there is nothing new to it so I guess there must be something else.

However, to my surprise, I received a reward for that and perhaps one of the rewards I have never seen or being achieved by someone else. It shouldn't be mine to be honest but since I received it, then I will have to keep it.
