After hearing that Kaen went after the undead king. He ran in the direction the skeletons ran in. After fighting his way through the army he met the undead king. He was a big skeleton. Wearing a dark purple kingly robe and a golden crown. In the place of his eyes he had red glowing dots. "Who are you!" "Give them back!" "Oh you must be Kaen. That fox kept going on and on about how you would beat me and save them. Should I tell them after I kill you or do you want to tell them before?" Kaen's power multiplied as he thought of Natu. His ability HEROICS was raging. He couldn't hold his human form so he reverted to his wolf form. He attacked the undead king with dark jaw. The king held his head, bashing him to the ground and he did that about 20 times and them he started punching Kaen until he drew blood. After the beating Kaen could barely move. "So this is your power? Pathetic!" Kaen's power suddenly skyrocketed. Everyone was surprised. His heroics kept rising his power. Kaen suddenly was way faster out maneuvering the king. He then pushed the king back as the king's army was panicking. Kaen used dark jaw and threw the king about 30 meters away. The king got up. "Interesting. Now to show you 50% of my power! By the way my name is Osorosii." Osorosii then released one of his suppression techniques. He suddenly appeared behind Kaen and kicked him so hard that almost every bone in Kaen's body broke, sending him into a nearby river. 7 hours later Kaen woke up with Kento and another Kobold healing him. "Your up master Kento. Master Kirito is still asleep." "Is the undead king gone?" "Yes sir." Kaen sighed as he fell asleep again. 3 days later Kaen was finally able to stand. Kaen went outside as he saw there was a carriage ready to leave. "What's going on here?" Kirito answered "Me, you, Kento and Kurai are going to the western arcive. To learn how to beat the Undead King." "Ok." The four set off. After traveling for 15 days they reached the place. They got off to see an old woman. "Hi there. I'm Gelda. The guardian of this arcive." "Hello I'm Kaen. This Kirito. And these two are Kento and Kurai." "All your names begin with K." "Yea." "Let me call my most current help. GIN!!" And monkey the size of a human came down from a tree. He wore a golden crop top that was open in the middle and baggy gold pants. His hair was in a spiky front style. "What do you want Grammy?" "Let's help these fine young men." They entered the arcive. They stated what they wanted to know. "Ahh the undead King. A being as old as Gin's race here. 1000 years ago. I lived with a young knight. He possessed a powerful skill named commitment. We killed many monsters together. One time we came across the immortal dragon who was very powerful. We barely defeated it because we were helped by Nicolas the wicked King. We escaped with the immortal ruby. The young knight Osorosii was very ambitious and he wanted to rule as an immortal King. We fought. The fight went on for a while before he pinned me down and used the skill drain to turn me old. I then took the immortal ruby and used it on myself. He lost and tried to kill me but I ended up killing him. His skill commitment evolved to obsession and awakened him from death in a cursed form, earning him the name Undead King. His power skyrocketed and he conquered many kingdoms and nations. They say he is as powerful as some demons. To kill him would be a true honor." "Wow. So if we train we can kill him." "Yes. You'll need intense training and take Gin. He'll be useful to you guys." "As if?" Kirito said. Gin looked at Kirito. Kirito read his mind realizing his one of them.30 minutes later. "Damn so you guys are really Kirito and Kaen from class and Natu and Niki are really in trouble." "Yea! Seems your as slow as always!" "Be nice to Gin. Kirito." "Hey Gin. I want to test your power myself. Come at me with everything you've got." "Ok then." Everyone gave them space. Gin released his suppression techniques as Kirito did the same. They were more or less on the same level with Gin a bit stronger. Kirito drew his sword and charged. Gin waited as Kirito went for the slash he dodged appearing behind Kirito. Kirito kept attempting to slash but Gin kept dodging and appearing behind him. {Damn! This asshole is showing me that his faster!} Kirito then stopped and stuck the ground causing dust. Gin was blinded and felt a barrage of kicks hit his back sending him flying. Kirito then went for the slash. Gin dodged before he appeared behind Kirito using his skill death blow to strike Kirito's ribs and Kirito was sent through a wall. "Seems they are taking this outside." said Gelda. Gin went after Kirito as he was surprised by a kick that landed on his jaw sending him flying up as Kirito appeared above him, Kirito then used kicked Gin sending him to the ground. Gin's landing caused a crater. As Gin got up he was kicked on the head again by Kirito. Kirito jumped back as he smiled. "Is that all Gin?" Gin was silent. "Seems Kirito was enough to awaken it." A great energy was released from Gin as his fur spiked and took on a black color. "Hey analyst what's going on?" "This is the effect of the Skill super form." "Wow Gin's power multiplied gradually." "Hey Kaen go join the fight or Kirito will die." Kaen joined the fight. "Kirito how are your ribs?" "Broken but I'll power through it." "Ok then! Let's beat Gin." Gin charged like a mad man taking on Kaen in and fist fight. At first Kaen was losing until heroics activated. They were on the same level. Kaen punched Gin's stomach. Gin coughed blood before grabbing Kaen's face and throwing him into the ground. The landing caused a giant hole. Kirito appeared behind Gin and kicked his jaw sending him flying. He then got to Kaen who had reverted to his wolf form due to taking a really bad beating. "Kaen you ok?" "Yea." Kaen got up and went back into his human form. "You and Kirito could try using his devour abilities to merge." "Huh?" "Overlord makes so you can't be absorbed or devoured but if you deactivate it and reactivate inside Kirito you two might merge for a limited time." "Ok. Hey Kirito I have an idea. Devour me!" "What! No!" "I won't die. Just do it." "Ok." Kirito used devour and devoured Kaen. Meanwhile Gin ramaged and destroyed the surrounding forest. His attention was caught by the light that radiated from the hole Kirito was in. A new being appeared. This new being had Black spiky hair, one red eye and one black. He had a scar across his left eye. He wore a black shirt and a rec scarf. He also wore black ripped jeans. He drew a giant sword. "Hey stupid! I'm Tennou! Yea that's a nice name." Gin charged but was quickly awaited by a punch to the cheek sending him flying as he was about to hit a mountain he was stopped by another punch. This kept on going for a while until he was thrown to the ground causing a crater. Tennou then threw his sword into Gin's chest. He stood above Gin and started pulling his sword and cutting Gin's chest open. He suddenly stopped as he diffused. Kaen and Kirito were exhausted. Gelda came up to them as Kaen panicked seeing Gin's body. "Don't worry." Gelda said. Gin's body healed itself and he woke up. Gin here is the current holder of the immortal ruby. 3 hours later Gelda had asked Kaen to meet her at a nearby meadow. The two sat in the soft grass as she smiled. "You know Kaen you remind me of Osorosii. Please don't choose the same path he has chosen." "I swear I won't. I find the path Osorosii chose despicable and evil." "I brought you here to give you a weapon. This weapon is called the Platinum sword. It's power grows with the wielder's fighting spirit and it's works like your Heroics." "Oh." She gave him the sword. Meanwhile Kurai and Kirito were training in a nearby waterfall. Kirito outmatched Kurai in all aspects but Kurai used his shadow movement as a crutch. Kirito and Kurai started battling. Kirito used his intense speed to go behind Kurai but before he could cut Kurai, Kurai appeared behind him and cut Kirito's leg although Kirito got a kick in. Kurai was sent flying. Kirito jumped in the air. Right above him was the shadow of a rock that Kurai appeared from, kicking Kirito on the cheek. Both fell into the water and bot got up and place their sword in a fatal spot on the other. "Kurai. Seems your learning." "Don't underestimate me Lord Kirito." They both returned to the group. After 3 days the group headed back to the rest of the Kobolds who were practicing military tactics and attack formations. They reached the village. 1 day later. Kaen and everyone was ready to go to the Undead king's domain. They reached Dead Man's Land. They quickly reached the Undead King's Castle. They were 3 teams. Team Gin, Team Kaen and Team Kirito. Each team consisted of 1 leader and 10 Kobolds.
