Miss Player, please don't cast spells on me.

Rena Takigami certainly knew who Kiyono Hai could find as an outside helper, but even if each of the top experts at the tea party had strength that matched or even surpassed that of the Black Sword Knights.

Even though Rena Takigami could support and afford the arrival of the main force of the tea party's powerful figures, it was a combat method that consumed a great deal of faith power and the 'life' of the deity herself.

If she were to personally confront the Black Sword Knights as the Goddess of the Fox, her resource supply could be sustained for a very long time.

If the main characters of the tea party's powerful figures were forcibly brought into this world, the loss of her faith power and mental strength would be an astronomical figure.

"But even if you, Takigami-senpai, fight using your own body, it's still a contest of the reserves of faith power."

Kiyono Gray gave the fox a somewhat speechless reminder.

"If it really turns into a war of attrition, we will never be able to win against those players. They can keep resurrecting with the support of the God of Light and Exploration, as well as the gods of 'Dream City'."

"Although the number of resurrections is limited, our resource reserves will definitely be exhausted before their resurrection count runs out."

"So if we can't kill their people, we can only destroy their spirit, right?"

"But... what does it have to do with the arrival of the powerful figures at the tea party and the destruction of their hearts?" Takigami Rena's little mind hadn't quite grasped the point.

"Of course it's related. For a knight who has been secretly in love with his princess for many years, nothing is more devastating than watching his princess fall into the arms of someone else."

Kiyono Gray stretched his wrists and said.

"I think it's about time I created a new account in 'Dungeon Sacred 2' as a player..."

After leaving those words, Kiyono Hai disappeared from the movie theater.

………………

In less than half a day, the Black Sword Knights arrived at the scene of the final boss battle in "Dungeon Sanctuary 2".

At the heart of the world's labyrinth lies a vast room with walls that shimmer with a dim light. In the center of this room, the supreme treasure known as the 'World Core' radiates a dazzling light.

The room was empty, and the treasure was placed directly in the center of the room. Any veteran player would know that this was the BOSS room.

"How's it going, Yang Gong? Is the progress faster than expected? Even if the final boss battle takes a whole day to defeat, we still have more than two days to rest."

As if to show off how right his decision was, Captain Mikage spoke to Noon Hitomi in a slightly smug tone.

"..."

Unfortunately, Noon Hiyomiya was in no mood to joke around with Captain Mikage right now.

After she guided her character to stand in front of the entire group, she cleared her throat and addressed the Black Sword Knights in as formal a tone as possible.

“Now I want everyone to look at what I posted in the group. If you don’t understand, those are multiple equity transfer agreements that I had my private lawyer draft.”

This was Hitomiya Noon's last attempt. When the Black Sword Knights saw the pile of contract photos Hitomiya Noon had sent to the group chat, their expressions, besides shock, were probably more like…

As for?

"These are my shares in several music record companies, as well as the dividends from my arranged music CDs. If these assets are distributed among all members of the group, it can guarantee that everyone can receive a dividend of about one million yen every quarter."

"If everyone chooses to give up the dungeon raiding mission now and quit the game, I will use these to compensate for your losses... So I want to hear everyone's answers before the final battle begins."

Noon Hitomi's tone was extremely calm, so calm that the Black Sword Knights couldn't understand it.

Finally, it was a rather naive member, Honglian, who broke the silence.

"That Sister Yang Gong... is this really necessary? We're only one step away from defeating the BOSS and getting the reward! There's no need to give up at this crucial moment, especially not at such a high price."

“Honglian is right. We all know you’re very rich, Yang Gongsan, but transferring so many assets under your name at once must not be easy for you, right? It’s just a simple matter of defeating the final boss of this game. You really don’t need to pay such a high price for it.”

This was the consensus among the Black Sword Knights; everyone agreed that it wasn't worth it. Noto Himegami didn't need to go to such lengths for a game boss!

So, I still can't convince everyone?

At this moment, Noon Hitomi realized the difficulty of communication between people, because no matter how long she spoke, she could not explain to the Black Sword Knights how important Shanor was to her.

This is similar to how most otaku men can't clearly explain to their parents how important their collection of figurines and other collectibles is to them.

Because in the eyes of the older generation, so-called model figures were nothing more than 'insignificant little toys'.

No matter how much effort I put into these models or how much I love them, in my parents' eyes it's just a sign of my immaturity. They won't understand, and they don't want to understand.

That's probably arrogance... Unless their own child is seriously injured and threatens suicide, parents will never wake up.

Having fully understood this, Noon Hitomiya revealed a relieved smile.

"Yes, then let's begin... the final battle."

Noon Hitomi controlled her character to walk towards the center of the BOSS room.

"The raid has already started? Sister Yanggong! You're moving too fast! Be careful not to enter the final boss's aggro range! Huh, the boss fight hasn't been triggered yet?"

The members of the Black Sword Knights watched as the character of Noon Hitomi walked up the steps to the base below the world's core.

At this moment, she truly looked down upon the knights who had accompanied her through countless battles, just like a princess.

"I have a few words to say to you all before the final battle begins."

Noon Himegami turned around and placed her character's hand on her chest. At this moment, it seemed that she was taking the initiative to play the role of a princess again in order to boost the morale of the Black Sword Knights.

"Everyone has worked so hard to get this far. For the past fifteen days, everyone has been staying up all night to push through the levels, all in order to catch up with the new version of 'The Holy Stars' as soon as possible."

"I have witnessed everyone's hard work and perseverance over these fifteen days. Now that we have finally arrived here, if I were truly a princess, I would have to reward everyone."

"To give us the 'reward' we deserve for every battle we fought in these fifteen days, and to present you with the 'gift' you deserve for finally stepping into this place!"

When Noon Hitomi spoke these words, her voice sounded so elegant and noble that it satisfied all the members of the Black Sword Knights' imagination of what a princess should be like.

Even the voice acting of popular voice actors isn't this good, is it?

"Sister Yanggong, please don't say that. I'm a little embarrassed by the reward." Honglian was completely taking these words as a perk.

"Little one, we don't think you're shy!"

However, the elderly members of the Black Sword Knights chose to get into character and started shouting at the princess standing on the high platform.

"Your Highness, what do you intend to use to reward your knights? We are all eagerly awaiting your arrival!"

"Yes, yes!"

Hearing the enthusiastic responses from everyone in the voice channel, Yoshimiya Noon smiled warmly at her character and said...

"Now I will bestow upon you..."

When Noon Hitomi paused at this point, the jeering from the members of the Black Sword Knights fell silent.

Because at that very moment... they saw crimson flames burning above the pupils of the character None Hitomi.

Several gigantic, demonic claws made of magic extended from behind her character and slammed into the ground with terrifying pressure, causing horrifying cracks to appear on the ground where the Black Sword Knights stood!

The knights of the Black Sword Order heard clearly what their revered princess had bestowed upon them at this moment:

"Endless death!"

At that moment, Hiyomiya Noon's voice burst forth with a terrifying killing intent.

At the same time, a scarlet notification instantly filled the screens of all the knights of the Black Sword Order.

'The Lord of the Final Labyrinth, Noto Himemiya, Level: 170, Description: The final boss of the Labyrinth Sanctuary.'

Knights of the Black Sword Order, now, for the sake of those insignificant and worthless dungeon rewards, cruelly 'kill' the one you admire and secretly love!

Chapter 59 The Princess's Guardian Knights

"What happened? How did Sister Yang Gong become the final boss?"

"Was it because Hitomi-san triggered some hidden Easter egg in this game? The performance just now was really convincing! I admit I was startled by Hitomi-san!"

"This really turns into an adversarial relationship. Isn't it a bit too much of a bargain to have our teammates be the final boss?"

When the members of the Black Sword Knights saw that None Hitomi had suddenly become the final boss, they didn't show any signs of panic.

To be precise, this is the reaction a 'player' should have.

That is, instead of feeling panicked, they actually found it quite interesting!

The premise of their own princess suddenly turning evil and becoming the final boss actually excited the members of the Black Sword Knights even more.

"Stop laughing! Look at Sister Yang Gong's posture, she really wants to fight us, and she won't hold back."

"Uh... we should at least have a proper ceremony, right? So, Sister Yanggong! If you really want to play PVP with us, should we go in one by one, or in twos and threes at a time?"

If the members of the Black Sword Knights were previously in a state of tension as they prepared to face the final boss...

The atmosphere has become as relaxed as a casual PvP sparring session between guild members.

“No mercy is needed, because I won’t show any! From now on, I will keep killing until you give up on this game!” Noon Hitomi said in a deep voice.

"What did Sister Yang Gong say?"

"Then what are you all standing there for! Is this some kind of special experience? You mustn't disappoint Her Highness!"

The guild leader, Mikage, cleverly followed the guild members' playful and jeering attitude, and immediately commanded his guild members to launch a campaign against the princess who had transformed into the final boss!

At this moment, all the knights of the Black Sword Knights were also holding... What game does my naughty little cat want to play with me now? I just can't do anything with you!

This mentality, which they perceived as a slight indulgence, led them to ruthlessly participate in the battle to subdue the princess.

None Hitomi showed no mercy whatsoever… The fox spirit god had granted her three powers.

First, there are ghost claws that can extend from the body and strike enemies from any tricky angle. Second, there are black flames that can ignite anything within sight, and once ignited, they explode and cause destructive damage.

Thirdly, there are the two true bosses guarding this final labyrinth: the Former Demon and the Later Demon.

This caused the number of operations that Noon Hitomiya needed to perform to increase exponentially. What was originally a normal amount of operation required in an MMORPG game was now equivalent to a professional-level operation in StarCraft.

But she could easily handle this amount of work and have a good grasp of the overall situation... and during the process, she always felt that someone was making minor adjustments for her.

Whether it's the sweeping attack of the demon hand, the action of scattering the Black Sword Knights, or the location where the black flames suddenly appear and explode, especially the coordination between the combined attacks of the front and rear demons and her own attacks... she always manages to do it perfectly.

Is that you, Shanor?

Noon Hinami drew her Star-Chasing Longbow, gathering the power of the stars and black flames to pierce through one of the Black Sword Knights' assassins, then casually detonated the arrow in the instant…

The aftershocks of the explosion lifted two ranged DPS members of the Black Sword Knights into the air. The moment they were airborne, a ghostly hand emerged from the ground, grabbed them, and slammed them to the ground.

This time, it's even more certain that None Hitomi is possessing Shanor to assist her. Rather than borrowing Shanor's power, it's more accurate to say that her character and Shanor have become one.

What would happen if she lost this battle? Noon Hiyomi didn't think about this foolish question.

Because from this moment on, she will wipe out the Black Sword Knights until those guys don't want to play this game anymore!

In the subsequent battle, None Hitomiya did indeed achieve that.
