Chapter 720 Come, fight the faded ones

"Um, teacher, isn't the Eternal Lord's Imitation Tear pretty powerful too?"

Beside the campfire in the Dark Realm, Leon and the others were trying to comfort Japal with forced smiles.

The latter stared at the words "[The Eternal King's Imitation Tear]" in the Hunter's Handbook, his brows twitching.

He didn't understand.

I guessed that the Eternal King should be a member of the Tear-like Being race, so why is there another Tear-like Being appearing now?

Where is this nesting doll?
No, even before he entered the temple, the stone tablets had already given a hint, saying that the teardrops that had given birth to thought were imitating the figure of the Eternal King.

This is also why he encountered those lifelike teardrops impersonating various heroes on his way to the temple.

Other bio-teardrops can only transform into one object, but the one he challenged earlier could freely transform and eventually became the appearance of the Faded One.

so to speak
In other words, the true Eternal King can imitate all the characters it encounters on its journey to conquer the King of Elden!
And taking it as its origin, the other bionic teardrops in this place each imitated a different object from it.

Therefore, the [Imitation Tear of the Eternal King] is perhaps the most outstanding among its kind, so it directly imitates the Eternal King, which means that it possesses all of the Eternal King's abilities.

Yes, that makes a lot more sense!
No wonder that guy was able to turn into the Faded One in the end!

So where did the true Eternal King go?
"We can't just go with those who have faded away, can we?"

Japar muttered something in a voice only he could hear.

Only now do I realize that I wasn't fighting the master I imagined, but rather an imitator of the master. Just how different is the power of this imitator from the original? The strength of the faded one, after being imitated twice, is definitely different from the original. In the end, I still can't judge the opponent's true strength.

Actually, none of that matters. What makes him feel awkward is the sense of disappointment.

"Sigh, there's nothing we can do about it."

He rubbed his temples, sighed with a worried expression, as if trying to expel all his negative emotions; this sigh lasted a very long time.

When the sound gradually subsided, his expression returned to normal.

After smoothing his messy hair back to a mature look, the Sword Saint now appears quite alert again.

"I changed my mind."

He smiled at Leon and the others and said kindly, "Let's not look for the stone tablet yet. Come with me to the temple and I'll show you the replica teardrop."

"Eh? This, this can't be done, teacher? We definitely can't beat them." Maru's voice trembled.

"Hey, how can you talk like that? Fighting against a strong opponent is a rare experience that will only benefit your martial arts!"

"I...I...I think practicing my parries with the Golden Lion would be more effective than doing it here."

"Stop dawdling and come here!"

Without a word, Japar grabbed the group of people who were trying to escape, his smile growing even brighter.

Now that Leon and the others know about his defeat, and the name of the monster that defeated him doesn't seem as impressive as he imagined.

So how can you let Leon and the others know how difficult their fight was and that your skills are actually quite good?
Of course, we'll take them to see it for themselves!

"No--"

The wailing of Maru and the others frightened the Ancestral Spirits so much that they dared not come to attack.

Japar showed complete enthusiasm for this matter, as if he had suddenly become fifty years younger, full of energy.

He cleaned up all the monsters he encountered along the way as easily as chopping vegetables. Even the recently famous chef Kuripa couldn't chop vegetables as neatly and efficiently as him.

Leon and his companions could only be described as "frightened little beasts."

The more they saw Japal's radiant appearance, the more frightened they became. However, due to their recognition of their teacher's strength, they also felt a strange sense of security and unconsciously wanted to trust him.

"There must be something wrong with our brains to think like this."

A moment later, Leon, with trembling arms, held up his sword and muttered to himself with a look of utter despair.

He's terrified right now.

Because we have now seen the so-called "teardrop of the Eternal King".

The opponent transformed into a burly, heavily armored man clad in extremely thick, bronze-green armor, wielding a large shield in each hand. He appeared rather unassuming, but a single shield strike dented the ground. The force and technique were more powerful than a juicer.

They were terrified; Leon and his men saw no possibility of engaging in combat.

They were thinking about how to break through those two incredibly sturdy shields, and then how to break through that thick layer of armor. The solution they finally came up with was to pour oil on them and burn them.

But while they were thinking, Japal had already rushed forward like a madman, immediately unleashing his ultimate attack, the Slash Domain, to greet the Imitation Tear in a friendly manner.

Leon watched Japal fight the whole time, and he couldn't quite understand the passion that the other party was showing.

The teardrop-shaped creature constantly changed its form, each one possessing a unique and extraordinary quality, making the viewer's heart pound and leaving them wondering how to possibly defeat it.

Even though he was covered in wounds, Japar relentlessly attacked, attacking and attacking again, launching attacks as if his life depended on it.

"We misunderstood our teacher. He just wanted us to witness this high level of combat, right?"

Japar's valiant fighting spirit moved Leon and his team, who cheered loudly for the other side, their enthusiasm surpassing that of any other cheerleading squad in the world.

Their voices gave Japar even more motivation, and finally, the teardrop-like form took its final turn.

As the stirring music began, the Faded One, transformed from a teardrop, reappeared on stage.

"Go, teacher, we're praying for you!" Maru waved her fist while riding on Leon's shoulders, and Leon took Druna's glowing magic wand and waved it like a cheering stick.

"Thank you," Japal finally smiled, but for some reason, there seemed to be a hint of evil in that smile.
He suddenly stepped aside, clearing a path between the replica teardrop and Leon, and gestured for them to proceed.

"?"

People were puzzled. What did the teacher mean by this?

"Now it's your turn."

Japar said matter-of-factly.

"."

Leon stiffly turned his neck, glanced at the android teardrop holding the frozen shell axe, and then at Japar.

Is there any teacher like you who unleashes the boss's strongest form and then passes it on to their apprentice?
Doesn't your conscience hurt?

"Don't look at me, I'm exhausted right now and can't fight at all."

Japar slowly shook his head, then muttered to himself:
"Now I finally understand what Luluwo is all about."

The Frozen Shell Axe unleashed a chilling aura, and the teardrop-shaped axe stomped heavily on the ground, sending an endless stream of icy energy rushing towards the raiding party!
"teacher!"

The desperate cries of the people were quickly suppressed by the biting cold air, and only the sounds of desperate fighting remained on the scene.

Sure enough, everyone who enters the Sien Dungeon develops the habit of watching others make fools of themselves.

This day, Leon and his companions spent in a fierce battle against the [Teardrop of the Eternal King].

Leon died from having his head pierced by the Greatsword of Eternal Punishment. He would never forget why the sword still ended up in his skull when he had scrambled away as if he had escaped the attack range.
It's like that sword has a suction force!
Maru was killed by the [Gravity Spike], and even after the sword-shaped spear pierced his body, he didn't understand how that thing had caught up with him.

Drew died of bleeding in despair. He had only been grazed by the Blood Monster Arm, but the bleeding was so severe that he could not stop bleeding from all over his body.

As for Tel, he was thick-skinned and took a full set of Messermo's Red Boy Gun Techniques to the face, followed by a Water Bird Dance, before finally collapsing to the ground.

Regardless of the outcome.

Anyway, this trip has been very educational, which is commendable.

Everyone returned looking dazed, their clothes tattered. If they hadn't prepared spare clothes in advance, they probably would have looked quite undignified when they left the dungeon.

Because adventurers always end up with tattered clothes in dungeons, the clothing industry near dungeons is quite developed. Every day, merchants sell ready-made clothes to adventurers queuing to enter dungeons, and their success rate is very high.

For the next few days, Leon and his companions bought one or two sets of clothes from the clothing merchant every day. After all, sometimes they couldn't bear to leave the dungeon even if their equipment was broken, so they simply made do with some cheap clothes.

They took the lead in compiling and disseminating information about their discoveries in the Eternal City of Noklon. Shortly after their news was released, other pioneering adventurers also shared their findings from their explorations in the area.

It's unclear whether this was due to the example set by Leon and his group, or whether the adventurers had originally planned to release the information today.

But one thing is certain: the most trending topic among adventurers recently is definitely the Sien Dungeon.
