His staff glowed brighter with golden and white energy as the two spells fused into one. The resulting power coalesced into a radiant spear, its surface adorned with intricate golden patterns that seemed to pulsate with divine wrath.


    "Spear of Redemption!" Leon roared, thrusting his staff forward.


    The glowing spear shot through the air with a deafening hum, leaving a golden trail in its wake. Its speed was incredible, and the energy it emanated caused the surrounding undead remnants to disintegrate just from its proximity.


    The gue King barely had time to react. The spear struck him squarely in the chest, piercing through his decayed body and embedding itself in the wall behind him. A blinding sh of white-gold light engulfed the room, forcing Roselia to shield her eyes momentarily.


    When the light subsided, the gue King was visibly weakened. His rotting flesh smoked and hissed where the spear had struck, and golden cracks spread across his torso like a web. He let out a pained, guttural roar as he staggered back, his dark aura flickering.


    Leon observed the result, his expression calm but satisfied. "Looks like redemption doesn''t agree with him."


    Roselia smirked, her des still glowing with energy. "I''d say it suits him perfectly—though I think he needs a few more doses."


    The gue King, now visibly furious, began summoning another wave of undead and poisonous fog in desperation, but the damage from Leon''s attack was severe. The battle was far from over, but Leon''s new spell had clearly turned the tide in their favor.


    The gue King''s roar reverberated through the castle, shaking its very foundation. His form seemed to waver as he desperately absorbed the nearby zombies to restore his strength, but the golden cracks on his body only grewrger, disrupting his dark aura.


    Leon''s eyes narrowed as he analyzed the gue King''s movements. "He''s trying to stall," he muttered, gripping his staff tightly. "That attack disrupted his mana core, but he''s using the undead to patch himself up."


    Roselia''s twin des red with dark energy, her expression fierce. "Then we don''t give him the chance to recover." Without waiting for a response, she charged forward, her des cutting through the poisonous fog with ease.


    "Battle Magic: Maigen Fury!" she shouted, unleashing a flurry of strikes that created arcs of ck and purple energy. Each swing of her de carved into the gue King''s defenses, sending chunks of decayed flesh flying.


    The gue King roared again, summoning poisonous tendrils from the ground tosh out at Roselia. She dodged and weaved through the onught with practiced precision, her movements fluid yet deadly. "You''re not the only one who can multitask," she taunted, shing through the tendrils as she closed the distance.


    Leon, watching her agile assault, smirked. "Show-off." Raising his staff, he began another chant. This time, he fused Holy Chain, a spell that immobilized enemies, with Sacred Judgment, a high-tier holy spell that called down radiant beams of light to smite foes.


    The air around Leon crackled with divine energy as golden runes appeared in a circle above him. "Heavenly Bind: Chains of Judgment!" he dered, mming his staff into the ground.


    Golden chains erupted from the floor, wrapping around the gue King''s limbs and torso, locking him in ce. At the same time, beams of radiant light descended from the glowing runes above, striking him repeatedly. Each impact caused the golden cracks on his body to spread further, his pained roars growing weaker with every hit.


    Roselia didn''t miss the opportunity. With the gue King immobilized, she leaped into the air, her des shining brighter. "Executioner''s Cross sh!" she yelled, crossing her des mid-air and releasing a massive X-shaped energy sh directly at his core.


    The attack hit with devastating force, causing a shockwave that rippled through the hall. When the dust settled, the gue King''s form was barely holding together. His once-massive figure was now slumped, his aura reduced to flickering embers of darkness.


    Leon approached, his staff glowing faintly. "It''s over," he said, his voice cold. "Even kings fall." He raised his staff for the final blow, preparing onest spell.


    Before he could cast it, the gue King let out a gutturalugh, his voice echoing with malice. "You think you''ve won? My death will only be the beginning…"


    A dark, pulsating orb emerged from his chest, his mana core surging with unstable energy. Leon and Roselia instinctively backed away as the gue King''s body began to copse, the orb growing brighter.


    "He''s going to explode!" Roselia shouted.


    Leon frowned, his mind racing. "Not on my watch." He mmed his staff into the ground, casting Force Barrier around them. "Brace yourself!"


    The gue King let out one final roar before his body disintegrated in a massive explosion of dark energy. The shockwave rattled the entire castle, but Leon''s barrier held firm, protecting them from the worst of the st.


    Force Barrier is an powerful defensive spell that allowed him to absorb the force of anything, And here he absorbed the explosion force rending it useless.


    When the dust settled, the hall was in ruins. The gue King was no more, his mana core shattered. Stay connected via My Virtual Library Empire@@novelbin@@


    Leon lowered the barrier, letting out a small sigh of relief. "Well, that was dramatic."


    Roselia sheathed her des, smirking. "Not bad, but next time, let''s avoid the whole ''almost dying'' thing."


    Leon chuckled, ncing at the remnants of the gue King. Among the ashesy a dark, crystalline shard—the core of the gue King''s power. He picked it up, inspecting it closely. "Looks like we have our reward."


    Roselia crossed her arms, tilting her head. "So, what are we going to do with it?"


    Leon''s eyes gleamed with excitement as he said " Well I will feed it to my gue bearer sword and it will evolve to next level" He said as Roselia nodded.


    Then thinking about something she asked " What of the unknown grade Equipment box? "


    Hearing her Leon fell silent as he remembered the box, it was what he obtained in trial world but neve use it as unknown gives you an item that I''ll suit you the most, he was waiting until he returns to real world, or until he gets dual ss, and now both of this conditions are good so he said " Hmm, I am going to use it now" He said as Roselia nodded, her eyes gleaming in excitement.


    Leon took out the unknown grade item box from his Charity System storage as he began to open it.


    Leon''s eyes widened slightly as the system notification appeared in his mind.


    [Congrattions, Host, on obtaining the Sage Crown: Myth+ Grade.]


    The golden light from the item box illuminated the dim surroundings as a majestic crown materialized in his hands. It was forged from an unknown white-gold metal, with intricate engravings of runes and celestial symbols adorning its surface. The crown radiated a soft, calming glow, exuding an aura of wisdom and immense power.

    Restriction: Only a true Sage or those with equivalent ss mastery can wear this crown. ]


    Leon examined the crown in his hands, turning it over to admire its craftsmanship. "So, it''s a ss-specific item," he murmured thoughtfully.


    Roselia stepped closer, her eyes narrowing as she studied the glowing artifact. "Let me see that," she said, her curiosity piqued.


    Leon handed the Sage Crown to her, and she held it up, inspecting the intricate runes etched into the metal. "This thing practically screams ancient magic," she said, her voice tinged with awe. "Only someone with mastery over a Sage ss—or something close—can use it, huh?"


    Leon nodded. "Exactly. It aligns perfectly with my current path, though," he said, a smirk tugging at his lips. "It was an good decision to use it after getting both sses."


    Roselia nodded as she added, "Hmm, but there are also many skills unavable?"


    "Well," Leon began thoughtfully, "Lord Shiva in myth represents many aspects aside from destruction, like wisdom—which aligns with my current ss path. He was also a diviner, an animal lover, and much more. Maybe unlocking those skills requires acquiring abilities from those aspects or even sses linked to Lord Shiva''s lineage."


    Learning about myths wasmon in this new world since many arcane abilities were derived from them.


    "There are even guilds and organizations dedicated to such mythologies," Leon continued. "Like Olympus, Asgard, Sanatana, and others."


    Roselia raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "So, you''re saying if someone wanted to fully explore their potential, they''d need to tap into the essence of these myths?"
