My King System

"Hey Meurig, what would you say to being my allay?" Yuki said as he lifted the coat which made him invisible.

Yuki knew that the purpose of Meurig was to be a monster that would eventually be killed by the player to gain exp. However, Yuki wanted to take advantage of the situation. He knew that Zero could make anything possible including, giving Meurig a human conscience.

"Why do you want me to be your ally?" Meurig asked.

"Personally, having someone who can make anything disintegrate as an allay sounds pretty cool. While you do have to be stronger than your opponent to activate it and your defense is pretty weak, I'm willing to make the exception for you," Yuki replied.

"And what will you do if I refuse your offer?" Meurig asked.

"I would kill you even if I had to use all my daggers and claim the exp that I would get before going on to the next dungeon," Yuki humbly replied.

"Sounds like I have no choice in this matter. I'll join you as your allay," Meurig agreed.

"Great!"

"Hey Zero, I have one more question. Meurig only needs to be stronger to activate his ability which means that if I weaken the enemy first, he can activate it right?" Yuki asked.

"You would be correct master. The condition is that Meurig needs to be stronger than his enemy at that time to activate his power," Zero replied.

"Thank you for all your help. Please give Meurig a human conscience. However, don't change his physical form. I find it quite mysterious and amazing. Once you have done that, you can leave," Yuki told Zero.

"As you wish, master."

Suddenly Meurig's mind went blank and he fell to his knees. Moments later, he stood up like nothing had happened.

[Player: Meurig]

[Level 3: 20000/40000]

"I have also given him the knowledge of the mechanics of this world. It'll make him much less of a burden on you master," Zero said.

"I shall take my leave now."

Yuki was now feeling much better than he had before. Now that someone who could literally kill anyone in an instant was on his side, he didn't need to fear for his life any longer. All he needed to do was weaken the enemy and Meurig would take care of the rest.

"Okay, we should start heading to the next gateway," Yuki said.

"And before I forget, take this."

Yuki said as he took off his coat of invisibility.

"I'll weaken the enemy and you'll come in and finish them off with your ability. We'll divide the exp. It doesn't matter how much damage each person does, the exp will be automatically divided equally amongst all contributing members," Yuki informed Meurig.

"How can you be so sure of that?" Meurig asked.

"I trained other people to fight monsters, when they got in trouble I came in to save them. Once I had killed the monster, everyone got the exact amount of exp," Yuki said as he remembered Jobon, Rui, and Katsumi.

"I wish I could see them again, I'll return safely to all of you!" Yuki said to himself.

Yuki and Meurig both walked to the next gateway together.

[Stage six: Complete]

[Save point reached]

[If you would like to move to the 7th stage of the dungeon, please step forward]

[Stage 7 difficulty: level 4]

"Before we enter the next stage, I want you to remember, don't be scared. Undead monsters can't see you as long as you're wearing that coat. If I need any assistance, please look out for my back," Yuki said as he smiled back at Meurig.

Yuki and Meurig walked through the white light blocking their view from the 7th stage. The new terrain was a dark cave. Instantly, bats started to fly in their direction. Meurig quickly went in front of Yuki and stuck his palm out. As each bat made contact with him, it began to turn to dust. The disintegration activated a chain effect. When a bat that had already begun to disintegrate made contact with another bat, the effect transferred in turn creating a chain of destruction.

"Thanks, they could've gotten very annoying to deal with," Yuki said.

Meurig nodded back to him.

"I'm pretty sure I have a good idea of what we are going to face in this stage," Yuki told Meurig.

Just then a large figure wearing a black cape started flying towards Yuki and Meurig. With barely enough time to react, Yuki moved in front of Meurig and pulled out "Lucky Sword" to block the white hand that was reaching for Yuki's neck. While the figure was targeting Yuki, he would've attacked Meurig instead since he was in the front.

[Royal Vampire Mini Boss: Hugo]

"I thought so! You're a vampire!" Yuki said out loud.

"Meurig move back," Yuki whispered.

[Open inventory]

Yuki pulled out "Fallen angel of hell" from his inventory.

"I know what I need to do. I'll finish this before you can even begin to understand what's happening to you," Yuki told Hugo.

"I've already wasted so much time in this dungeon, I can't start to become lazy. I've already come too far,"

Just like he had done in the 4th stage of the dungeon, Yuki began to rub the edges of the two swords together to cause friction. He didn't need to use a speed potion like last time since he boosted his speed stat when he leveled up.

It only took Yuki 1 try to set both his blades in flames. The vampire began to get tired of just standing there. While levitating, Hugo accelerated himself and grabbed hold of Yuki's head and slammed him to a wall. Yuki nearly went unconscious in an instant. Yuki hated the feeling he was having. The extreme pain in his head wouldn't go away.

"Don't you have any manners?!"

Yuki began to stabilize himself. Both of his treasured swords in hand, he buried his feet in the ground and used them to propel himself at incredible speed.

"Burn!"
