*3rd POV*
Chaotic. That is the appropriate description of the fight between Ryobe and the lifeless king's guardian, Valor. However, Ryobe did not fight against the lifeless king's guardian; he instead fought against the Zombie that came his way. From level four, zombie to level six zombie.
While Ryobe summon can kill the boss, Valor, easily, the amount of zombies coming at him makes the berserker unable to move, or the zombie will swarm Ryobe. Even with the help of his bow and sword, the zombie never stops. Valor also harassed the berserker and tried to lure one of the berserkers from the Ryobe location.
However, because of this, he now has a plan to kill the boss. While the berserker is the trump card he has, Ryobe also has another trump card for an evil creature.
But he needs to hit the boss with his Black Key before the skill can be used as the other method for his skill can be used throughout a magic circle that needs to be drawn by hand. Sadly he cannot do that in his current situation.
Right now, he needs to lock the boss's movement without making his guardian run around chasing the boss. Ryobe needed the boss to come near so his summon could grab the boss and start the baptism rite.
While he could order the berserker to kill the boss, Ryobe didn't know if the mission he got in the past would count the killing of the boss if the berserker killed the boss, so he just wanted to make sure.
Ryobe then begins to order the berserker to grab and hold the boss if it comes closer to them. While waiting for the boss to come closer, Ryobe shoots an arrow at the zombie, coming closer and trying to kill him.
Ryobe and his summon decapitated the zombies for another ten minutes and shot any zombie coming to their attack range. However, when he sees Valor and its guard coming at them, trying their luck to hurt Ryobe once again, Ryobe takes out a rather familiar small sword from his inventory.
When the berserker grabs Valor and the others summon to kill Valor's guardian, Ryobe knows that this is his chance.
When he throws the Black Key at it and stabs Valor right in the head, Ryobe sees Valor, the guardian of the lifeless king, set in a blaze by his weapon.
"I will kill. I will let live. I will harm and heal. None will escape me. None will escape my sight."
Ryobe then begins the rite of baptism, and when the first phase of the chant has been spoken, the fire around Valor begins to change into blue fire, and Valor begins thrashing around like it was in pain even though the boss is an animated skeleton.
"Be crushed."
"Devote yourself to me, learn from me, and obey me."
Ryobe throws another Black Key at Valor. When the Black Key hits Valor right in the chest, Valor roars in pain once again, and the fire that burns Valor increases in size.
"Rest. Do not forget songs, do not forget prayer, and do not forget me."
"I am light and relieve you of all your burdens."
*STAB*
"Relief is in my hands. I will add oil to your sins and leave a mark."
*STAB*
"Eternal life is given through death."
"Ask for forgiveness here. I, the incarnation, will swear."
"Kyrie Eleison"
The last Black Key hit the pile of ashes before Ryobe could finish the baptism rite, but once the skill has been cast, he cannot stop unless he is interrupted by the enemy. However, while the boss of this floor is defeated, the zombie inside the room is still there, and they are more agitated than before.
But this time, Ryobe summon can focus on killing all the zombies instead of protecting him, making the cleaning process easier.
For fifteen minutes, Ryobe and his berserker successfully clean up the first floor of the tower. When all the zombies are gone, the system appears in front of him.
[Congratulation]
[The Guardian of the Lifeless King quest has been completed]
[Reward: 2 Gacha Token, 10.000 TP and 4.000 XP]
[Congratulation]
[You completed the hidden quest 'Can't touch me' (Defeat Valor, the guardian of the lifeless king without getting any damage from him)]
[Reward: 1 Gacha Token, 5,000 TP and 2.000 XP]
After dismissing the notification, Ryobe looks at the treasure chest that appears beside the stairs to the second floor. He walked toward the treasure chest and opened the chest.
[DING]
[You got 'Pendant of Valor the Fearless']
[Pendant of Valor the Fearless]
[The pendant once is worn by Valor the Fearless before his own soul get enslaved by the lifeless king]
[+10 STR, +15 VIT, and +5 INT]
[Passive 'Leader of the Undying Knight' Skill: Every summons, subordinate, or stranger that fight alongside the user will get a bonus 100% boost in their HP]
Ryobe knows that this pendant is not good for a lone wolf, but it was precious for him as he has a summon, and this pendant will help him greatly. The stats bonus is also not too bad for him.
While he really wants to go to the second floor of the tower, Ryobe doesn't know if there will be another boss inside. So he de-summon the berserker and go back to the real world.

I glare at the former fatty come to school hand in hand with the princess of the school, Akagawa Yuka. I don't know what Yuka-chan saw from that fatty. I know the people in the school refrain from hitting that fatty for unknown reasons, but I know the reason is that this fatty has a rich family.
However, his family cannot be compared to my family, the Terazawa family. We are a family that has connections to many important people in Tokyo and even some across Japan. My father is the CEO of the top-tier company in Tokyo, Terazawa Corporation.
The only company that beat the Terazawa Corporation is the company owned by Yuka-chan's father. The Akagawa family is the giant that many people are afraid to offend and go against. They have a connection to the National Police Agency and even the government.
This fatty is not worthy to even gaze into her eyes. That is why this time, I will make my point go through right now.
"Homura Ryobe…"
The fatty look at me with his lazy eyes before tilting his head to the side.
"Yes?"
"I want to tell you something."
Before he could do anything, the bodyguard my father hired for me grabbed him and led him to one of the alleys.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You know, I never thought that Japan has the same problem of Young Master disease as in the Chinese Novel, but here we are.
"... You are just a nobody…"
Yada yada, something about me being a commoner and how I should not talk to Yuka-san as I'm not worthy of even attending the same school as her.
"This is the taste if you dare to talk to her anymore! Hit him!"
Suddenly one of the thugs, the little boy in front of me, walked toward me and punched me in the face and in the stomach before throwing me away.
"Remember this pain. If you dare to talk to her, I will inflict more pain than this."
Their punch only takes one HP. That is how weak their punch is. They only have big bodies but weak strength.
Anyway, after seeing them leaving me alone, I stand up and walk away from the alley. The only reason why I don't hit back is that I don't want to invite myself to more troublesome situations.
Like in the Chinese Novel, if I fight back, he will report this to his father, and they will make my life more troublesome than before. I don't want that, thank you very much.

Without Ryobe knowing one of the men his grandfather sent to keep an eye on him, see this little accident.
The said men take out a phone from his pocket and call Ryobe Grandfather.
"Yes, sir. Should we kill them? Very well. Yes, sir. I will make the Terizawa Corporation disappear from the world. How about all the assets they have? I see… Then I will start the forceful takeover operation immediately."
Just like that, the fate of Terizawa Corporation is already set in stone because the heir to the said corporation cannot hold their lust and arrogance.
