"Kwaaaang!!!"
Fwoosh!!!!
With this, another monster, who knows how many it's been, met its end.
"Hoo.... Looks like that's the end.... Are you alright, Master?"
"Of course, I'm fine on this side.... How about you, Melusine?"
"Yeah, I'm fine too."
While heading towards Gwanghwamun, Melusine and I slaughtered roughly hundreds of monsters so far.
Occasionally, there were kings who rushed at us without knowing any better, but—
"Sp..spare me....."
Fwoosh!!!
Such fellows all met their end at Melusine's hand.
After proceeding for a few minutes, dealing with those who picked fights like that, we finally arrived at Gwanghwamun.
"Master, what will you do now? Shall I take care of them all?"
Melusine had already identified the positions of those hiding all around and was prepared to fight at any moment.
"Wait a bit.... It's about to start soon...."
"Huh? What's about to start?"
"That.... you'll know when you see it."
[Hehe, my my. I didn't even tell you to, yet you've gathered so well.]
At that moment, sparks flew in the air, and soon an Intermediate Dokkaebi appeared there.
[Good children deserve a reward, right?]
With a rumbling sound, something began to rise from the center of Gwanghwamun.
A single throne, shining in an antiquated golden color.
The moment they saw it, the sound of swallowing breaths could be heard from all around Gwanghwamun.
No guide had descended yet, but at that moment, everyone must have realized.
The fact that only one king would occupy that seat.
[The main scenario has been updated.]
[Main Scenario #4 - 'King's Qualification' has begun.]
Category: Main
Difficulty: A
Clear Condition: Occupy the 'Absolute Throne' located at the Gwanghwamun intersection.
Time Limit: 8 hours
Reward: 10,000 coins
Upon Failure: ―
* Only those who have completed the hidden scenario 'Path of the King' may challenge this scenario.
* The king who occupies the Absolute Throne gains absolute command authority over all other kings.
* This scenario has additional special clear conditions.
At that moment, the Intermediate Dokkaebi, who had been looking around from the air, spoke calmly.
[Hehe, you all look flustered. Please don't worry too much. We'll proceed with this scenario slowly.]
Despite being a situation anyone would be agitated by, Gwanghwamun was quiet.
Naturally, if they were kings who had survived until now, they would know how important it is to listen to the dokkaebi's words now.
[The purpose of the fourth main scenario is, as you may have already anticipated, to select the one king who will sit on that 'throne.' Of course, not all who are called kings can sit on that throne. Only those who have proven their 'qualification' can sit there.]
The Intermediate Dokkaebi, wearing an unpleasant smile, then looked down at us and said.
[Then, I shall reveal the first qualification.]
1. 「The master of the throne shall be braver than anyone.」
―The Absolute Throne never desires a 'weak king.' To challenge the throne, you must be a king who possesses at least a Black Flag.
(Additional qualification conditions will be revealed shortly.)
Amidst the confusion of the kings hiding all around Gwanghwamun, excluding me, the Intermediate Dokkaebi said.
[Hehe, now that motivation has been given, please create an interesting story!]
With those words, the Intermediate Dokkaebi disappeared, and soon a subtle sense of impending war could be felt throughout Gwanghwamun.
"As expected, this kind of atmosphere doesn't suit me!!!"
I deliberately made a loud noise and revealed myself.
"Don't tell me there are still guys who haven't achieved a Black Flag?"
Holding a Black Flag in one hand and various other flags I picked up along the way in the other, I continued to shout.
"Hey, you know what? I made this in just a day? Not even a day, I made it in a few hours! And right after the fourth main scenario started!.... But you guys had more time than me, and you still couldn't make one?"
From various places, the sound of those angered by my provocation drawing their weapons could be heard.
"If there's anyone still without a Black Flag, come out. I'll share some flags."
Honestly, this was half true.
I currently have some extra flags: 1 brown, 2 blue, 4 red, etc.
Since I already have a Black Flag, I don't really need them, so I did have some intention of sharing.
And the other half was....
"Attack!!! Kill that cheeky bastard right now!!!"
"Kill that deceitful son of a bitch!!!!"
"That bastard has a Black Flag!!! Take it from him!!!!"
It was to draw out the kings who were hiding.
"(Heh).... Took the bait...."
The kings and their groups charging towards me.
About 10 kings. This made the effort of provoking and drawing them out worthwhile.
"Skill... activate Black Dragon's Flame."
[Activating skill 'Black Dragon's Flame Lv. 1'.]
Magical power drained away in an instant, and the pitch-black flames gathered in my hands soon merged into one, becoming a powerful fireball.
"W-wait, something's wrong—"
Only then did a few realize something was wrong and tried to run, but it was too late.
KWA-GWA-GWA-GWA-GWANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The pitch-black flame that devoured everything swallowed all those charging at me whole and continued to race forward, devouring even those far away and the monsters.

[Constellations of the Absolute Evil alignment are satisfied with your slaughter.]
[Received a total sponsorship of 70,000 coins.]
'235,000 coins with one fire?'
Feeling somewhat satisfied with this harvest, I also discarded the extra flags I had and spoke to those still hiding.
"What are you doing? Not going to pick them up?"
At my words, the kings who had been watching cautiously began to stealthily pick up the flags, among them were Kim Dokja, Beauty Queen Min Ji-won, Maitreya King Cha Sang-kyung, and Earth Dragon King Gu Tae-seong.
"Melusine, let's go now."
"Okay! Got it, Master."
Soon, we headed towards the National Palace Museum.
