Chapter 432 Revealed the Real Mastermind
Chapter 432 Revealed the Real Mastermind.
The royal palace.
Day after day has passed. Nothing has changed since the day of his arrest. Lyon is still in prison. I don't know how many days he has been in the game, but this has made him exhausted, both physically and mentally. He wanted to get out of the game. Boredom in a dark prison without any illumination is painful. It feels like he is being slowly killed.
Hunger also eats away at his mind and stomach and ends up in his physique that has begun to be difficult to move. He chose to sleep alone, in order to save his energy so as not to be drained further.
At times he went to monitor somewhere outside the prison. That's the entrance. He wished that someone would come and open the door. Already since Gordon's visit at that time, no one has come here. He seemed to be left alone, languishing in the darkness of this prison.
As long as he did that, no one would come. All of this was not in line with his expectations. He stretched out his body again and saw the ceiling of the prison, put on a face full of slurs.
"Damn .. why am I trapped in this kind of torture. Did they not have the heart to make such a crazy Quest? What are they really thinking??"
Now Lyon was just grumbling with regret and annoyance. This quest was insane, trapping someone in the game, and again without being given the slightest freedom. Unlike in novels, which are where they are trapped in a game because there is an incident, but they are still free to roam there. Well, it's as if their souls are completely separated into the game and assume it's a new world for them. For Lyon whose soul and body were still in the outside world, this was a torture.
Then he thought of something again. It was about his secret class. Am I going to change my class ...? Since his mind was already in chaos, he even thought of replacing his class. But that made him even more upset. If he replaced it then all his efforts during this time would be in vain and if he still maintained it, then this kind of incident would still happen.
As Lyon was busy thinking about it, Suddenly there was a sound of door friction that was quite deafening. It was the sound of a door coming from the end of the prison. Someone is coming in. Lyon, who had noticed that, immediately turned around and crawled quickly into the prison cell, peeking at the incoming person.
There was a black shadow that walked into the prison. He closed the door and continued walking to where Lyon were. Lyon continued to stare at the man, then said, "Anu ... Sir, can I be free?"
At first Lyon thought that the person who came was a soldier. Because the dark room and the lack of lighting sources make him unable to see with certainty. The person who came was not clearly visible, similar to the silhouette of a black shadow.
But, in a moment the identity of that person will be revealed when he is already in front of Lyon. Well, after the question that Lyon asked him, he gave no response and kept going. But he seemed to be smiling, but the smile was not noticed by Lyon.
Slowly and finally the man arrived in front of the prison. The smile that he had just hidden, then shown while showing a wide-sounding laughter filled this entire room.
"Hahahaha, set you free? Are you kidding me??"
He laughed at Lyon. Not long after, his face began to look followed by the form of his entire body. How shocked Lyon was when he saw the person standing before him. A cold sweat appeared on his forehead and more and more. The limp face earlier, now it had returned refreshed due to the shock that invaded his brain. Reflexively his mouth muttered about the person in front of him at this moment.
"R-ra-king ...."

Still in the palace prison.
Lyon can't believe what he's seeing at the moment. The king himself came to see him. Well, long ago, he also accused her of being a war criminal and ordered her subordinates to put her in jail, and now the same person came to this prison to visit her. There was a bit of an upset feeling that Lyon felt because it was this person who caused him to get stuck in this game, but he was still hiding.
The king said again, "How does Lyon feel to be here. You must be very happy, right? I've prepared a skull there so you don't get lonely." Then his face turned cold. "You have to pay for what you did before."
He asked as if he was insulting her. From that speech already showed that there was something strange to the King. Lyon has made its decision.
"King, are you the one who was the mastermind behind the rise of the Lich?" Lyon immediately asked him about the Lich's resurrection because he already suspected that he was the mastermind.
The King's expression changed again, showing a small smile, then took something from his pocket. It was the skull head of the Lich that was seized by the guards when he was accused of being a war criminal. Lyon was surprised to learn that the head was with him.
"I-it?!"
The king also showed Lyon more clearly the skull. "You mean this? Well, that's true. I am the mastermind behind the rise of this monster. To raise this monster was also quite difficult. At least I have to collect thousands of human corpses to present to him in the Bottomless Gap ravine so that he can restore his body to its prime. At least many bodies from outside the kingdom were collected in order to reduce their suspicions, and fortunately we got the reinforcements of the people from Under Heaven who were the Dark Cruels organization, he said, those whom you have defeated in that war, thanks to you also we can hasten his resurrection."
"But damn it, he turned out to be useless and even lost to you. It ruined my whole plan. But, fortunately, this mess did not leak my evil intentions. Thanks to you bringing this thing here, I can use you as a mash to cover up my evil plans and throw you in jail. Now I have to rearrange the plan.Huhh, this will definitely be troublesome."
Finally everything was revealed. The mastermind behind the rise of the Lich was the King himself. He continued to present human corpses in the Bottomless Gap ravine just to resurrect this monster. What a heinous act. Lyon is an emotion. His anger rose and overflowed.
"You ... God damn king shit!!!!"
Lyon directly crashed himself in front of the cell. It creates a loud voice. He showed his angry facial expression and looked at the King threateningly. "You are a wicked king. But once you treat your people like that, making them your victims, do you not have a heart!?"
But, Lyon only accepted the offer as a sign of response from his remarks. "Pfft, I don't care about them. Everyone in this whole kingdom is just a tool to achieve my goals. So, I don't care how their fate is" he said with a smile.
Then the king brought his head close enough to Lyon's head in prison. Instantly his face turned serious and his eyes turned red. Around his body also gave off a powerful black aura. Even Lyon can feel it. The aura is very strong.
Fortunately, Lyon did not hesitate. He boldly asked the King. "What exactly is your purpose for doing that?" From his strange behavior and cruel reality, he must have tucked away a goal that became the foundation for him to do all this, and Lyon wondered what the purpose of this King was until he had to sacrifice the life of a man.
Unexpectedly the King even replied to him. "My destination? Of course to destroy this kingdom and expand my power?" And the king stood back to his place, and left. "I think you know enough. It's not good to tell you any more because there are a lot of things you shouldn't know."
By the time he left, Lyon called back to him and shouted behind bars. "Hoi, stop! I'm not done asking. What does it mean to 'expand power' I still don't understand."
The King turned around and said, "I'll tell you later when the day of your death is set, so be patient waiting for him." Then, he changed the subject. "Oh yeah! A few days ago there were intruders entering the palace. I think they're part of you who's trying to save you. But, what a pity, they all died silly." After that, he continued walking until he finally left the prison.
Lyon, who was there, fell silent again when he listened to the words of the King. He also mumbled a little. "They came to save me?" What Lyon thinks of the King's words are the players whose possible Guilds infiltrated the palace intending to save him. However, he heard that they were all dead. That means everything was in vain. Then he came back to thinking something.
"Infiltrate? Hold still. Why did they infiltrate, didn't I tell you they had to see Isabella?" The question succeeded him in answering himself after knowing the true nature of the King. "Don't he close
access to the palace so that none of them can enter, even if they already use the badge? Hmh! It turned out that he had anticipated it well!"
He had no solution anymore even though he already knew the foul intentions of this King, but was unable to share this information with those who were out there. Nor does he know if they know anything or not about it. The only hope is to wait until the day of death.
In the midst of his solitude, Lyon returned to thinking about the 'expansion of power' that he had previously meant. "Hm, but I'm still confused why did the King say he wanted to expand his power well? He is the King here who has authority over this kingdom. And the way to expand power is also quite strange. He wants to destroy his own kingdom. Destroying his own kingdom to expand his power ...? Argh, I can't think clearly. Just give me one chance so I can get out of the game. I want to rest for a while and recover my condition."
Because he was trapped in this place for a long time made his head difficult to think clearly. He needs a break out there and restores his body and mentality. After complaining enough and not being able to do more, Lyon continued his usual activities, which were to lie in prison again, waiting for a new miracle to come.
**
In the real world.
Dj a tall skyscraper in the middle of urban, which is one of the famous buildings there. Inside. there, precisely in one of the rooms containing computers, the cables that become decoration there.
There was someone sitting there, looking at the computer in front of him. That guy was in his 50s. Her hair was white and grew on the side only. A face that has begun to wrinkle due to being consumed by age and wearing after a white coat and wearing glasses.
From his view, he looked at the computer for a video of a person in 2D sleeping in a dark bars. He smiled and muttered to himself. "Hehe, a little more and he will reach his peak well. I can't wait to see what steps he'll take."
Then someone knocked on the door of his room. "Yes, come in." That man allowed him to enter. And there appeared a young man in glasses wearing a neat shirt suit and approaching his place.
"Excuse me Professor Octa, I would like to send you a message that the meeting will soon begin. You must be present at the meeting."
The person referred to as 'Octa Professor' did not respond and was busy with his computer. So, the man went back to saying his name a few times until he came to his senses. After the umpteenth time he answered.
"Yes, yes, I know that, Daniel. I will also be present at the meeting. It's two o'clock, right?" he answered without even turning his gaze toward the computer.
The man mentioned as Daniel was curious about what Octa was seeing. He immediately stood behind her and watched. He wondered, "Professor Octa, who are you watching?"
Octa replied, "He's the one who will realize my ambition. Now I'm looking at the progress."
Daniel understood what he was talking about. "Oh, he's well. Now, how far has it progressed?" tanyakanya.
"Hm, he's about to end QSC-8272, and now he's been stuck in the game for almost three days. But I'm impressed he can still hold up so well. It's not wrong for him to accept my ambition."
And for a moment Octa turned to look at Daniel. However, he found Daniel very surprised as if he was shocked by what he said. "What's wrong with you, Daniel?" tanyakanya.
Daniel immediately said to him, "Professor, he's been stuck there for almost 3 days, right? That's totally unnatural. We have to secure that person or else his life will be in danger!"
Octa calmed him down. "Liet Daniel, relax .... I know about it too. But never underestimate me. I know when that time will come by looking at his current condition. There will also be time to get the team there."
Daniel interrupted his words. "But Prof, it could have been that your calculations were wrong and his life was lost. We'll get into big trouble later. It's good that we anticipate it from now on. So, I'll call a special team to go there immediately and make sure that person's okay."
Daniel went straight from there. Octa called back to him, but it was useless. Daniel doesn't care. He could only sigh and sit back. "Heh, you stubborn bastard. He always does something."
Increasingly stressful.
