Chapter 206: Rank 1 In the Leaderboard, Cymatica’s shock! Setting the Stage for the Final Ascension to Crown

[1. Cymatica Kingdom – 1,391]

[2. Origin Kingdom – 1,390]

[3. Mistwood Kingdom – 1,284]

[4. Rosequartz Kingdom – 1,280]

[5. Blistering Sands Kingdom – 1,279]

"We are actually second?" Caelus was taken aback.

And the first place was something he definitely recognized.

The Cymatica. The xenophobic body enhancers!

Caelus was surprised. To think they would be hiding this deeply.

But the vipers had finally shown themselves, and he didn’t plan on losing out to them.

----

"This Origin Kingdom is from the planet Azure Origin, Sid. To think they had a powerhouse like this. Our leader was right. This planet is not something to be looked down upon." A man wearing the uniform with the symbol of the Cymatica planet spoke.

He was Tyrone, and he was speaking to their squad leader, someone with an A-Rank Body Enhancement talent, Sid.

"Indeed." Sid replied. "But they cannot win. If we win this event, we might gain a lot of contribution points and get level up cards for free."

"Tyrone, how are the others doing?"

"The others are actively working to hunt more beasts, Sid. Our team is filled with several AOE based skill users. They can eliminate massive crowds in quick succession."

"Good." Sid stood up from the rock he was sitting on. "Let’s go out and hunt more. The event will end in a few minutes. We must utilize this time to make the gap between us and the Origin Kingdom even bigger."

"I agree." The man nodded.

They began hunting, and eventually, through their sheer work force, they obtained 201 more tokens, making their total 1,592.

[Ding! The event is over.]

[Ramses (Blistering Sands Kingdom): Oh? It’s over. I haven’t checked the leaderboard yet, hope I’m still in the top 5]

[Dmitri (Frostvale Kingdom): Man, I would hate to not be in the top 10. I don’t wanna lose my combat score or origin credits.]

[Stella (Mistwood Kingdom): The results are being announced!]

Sid and Tyrone stood with their squad with confident looks on their faces.

It was clear who the victors were. It was not even a debate.

They were born for events like this. Killing beasts in rapid succession was their main specialty.

They deliberately took down low level beasts so they could one shot them, and the first expanse was filled with those.

However, the next moment, their expressions turned ugly.

[Ding! You ranked second! Congratulations! You will receive a 5x rebate!]

"What?" Sid and Tyrone widened their eyes.

They didn’t speak another word as they opened up the leaderboard in unison.

[1. Origin Kingdom – 2,049]

[2. Cymatica Kingdom – 1,592]

[3. Rosequartz Kingdom – 1,381]

[4. Mistwood Kingdom – 1,301]

[5. Pikanet Energy Sustainment Kingdom – 1,291]

"HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?"

"How can they be faster than us? We literally have people that focus on massive AOE?!"

----

[Ding! You placed Rank 1]

[You may choose a specialized race awakening stone.]

[You’ve obtained +200 Reputation Points]

[Reputation Points: 1,855 -> 2,055]

[You’ve received the domain update: Weather Update]

Caelus wore a satisfied expression seeing this.

Even if the other party had the biggest number of AOE focused players, the sheer amount of skills he and sylvia possessed along with their huge energy pool made it impossible to beat them.

It was never a fair competition.

He then checked the rewards properly.

First with reputation points.

His reputation points had grown from the time he rolled for the traumatized soldier. He had received a few along the way, from the extermination of the nobles at the royal court back in the Solaris Kingdom king fight incident, and also 200 from the dungeon simulator.

Now, with this 200, it officially reached 2,055.

Sylvia, on the other hand, currently had 2,523.

She got quite a sum from the gacha rolls.

It was not bad.

"With this, we managed to acquire all the necessary ingredients for the crown." Sylvia said with a smile. "You were very handsome when you killed all those beasts, hubby~"

Caelus smiled and pinched Sylvia’s cheeks. She had already received the Ascended Body and looked more beautiful than ever.

She had also gotten the silk thread talent from him. She liked it very much, and it suited her style. It surprisingly evolved into a Blood Thread Talent as soon as she got it.

Now she could generate it with her blood, and that meant, unlike his version which required higher ranking ores to deal damage to higher ranking enemies, hers would scale up with her rank.

It was very good.

They also got a domain update. This one was straightforward. Starting now, his kingdom would have a weather cycle. Things were becoming more and more real with each passing day.

They then checked the chat. It was filled with people praising and complaining.

[Stella (Mistwood Kingdom): How the hell did you get rank 5 jamal? U definitely did some black magic.]

[Jamal (Pikanet Energy Sustainment Kingdom): No I didn’t. Our players were just that good.]

[Seraphine: My darling Julian, you did a wonderful job at clearing out the monsters. Each move you made was so elegant and so alluring I could not take my eyes away from you.]

[Julian: Why, my dear Seraphine, I’m greatly honored by your words. It’s to the point I cannot resist the urge to see you.]

[Seraphine: Why, my dear Julian, what is there to wait for? I am awaiting your arrival at the bed chamber. I even wore your favorite clothing to satisfy you.]

Sylvia, who was looking at the chat, blinked.

She turned towards Caelus swiftly and spoke. "What sort of dress do you like, Caelus? Something you would want to see when you are watching ****."

"WHAT?!" Caelus was taken aback hearing this.

He couldn’t believe his ears.

"Y-You, what are you saying?" Caelus became embarrassed.

"What is it?" Sylvia asked eagerly. "Any individual in this world watches it. You are no exception." She rolled her eyes with a teasing smile.

"..." Caelus’s lips twitched even more hearing this.

"This topic is way too embarrassing, Sylvia. Don’t say something like that."

Seeing this, a big smile flashed on Sylvia’s face.

"Is my hubby shy~" Sylvia chuckled and whispered into his ear.

"Are we not boyfriend and girlfriend? Shouldn’t this be normal for us to discuss?"

"I’ll go first~" Sylvia’s voice was as low as it could get.

"I want to see you with no clothing."

"..." Caelus immediately became embarrassed hearing this.

This naughty vampire, why was she like this?

"W-Well. I guess I like girls who cosplay."

"What sort?" Sylvia asked with no ounce of shame on her face.

Caelus gulped. He couldn’t believe that he was being put on the spot like this.

But in the end, he gave up and spoke. "Maybe someone who dresses up as a maid..."

Sylvia smiled teasingly when she heard this.

"Would you like to see me in a maid costume.... Hubby~" Sylvia’s words only made Caelus further embarrassed.

But he sighed. Perhaps this was what it meant by having a relationship.

"W-We will talk about this later after we reach Crown." Caelus said. "We should reach Crown first."

"Then.... I will give you a special reward after reaching Crown." Sylvia blushed slightly as she spoke. She without a doubt looked more alluring right now.

Luckily, Prime and Jibril were not here to see this. They had already returned to the city.

"Let’s go ascend now." Caelus shook his head and spoke.

Sylvia nodded, full of smiles. Caelus initiated the ascension quest, and they both soon vanished from the world.

By the time they came back, they would be Crowns.
