Chapter 17: Chapter 17 - May God Bless You
"Yahoo!" Elincia emerged from Alora's tent with a beaming smile on her face. "If I manage to accomplish this Quest, I'm certain I'll be at the top of the leaderboard. It's been a while since Immortal Legacy was released, and this is the first-ever throne battle event. This time I'm sure I'm on the right side; I'm certain that only Princess Alora is deserving of the crown."
She then strode among the knights standing sentry at the site. Suddenly, she recalled the news reports popular on television about player killers who roamed around seeking victims while they were naked.
"Ugh, that's so gross. If I run into one of those players, I'll make sure they regret ever deciding to play this game!" she declared firmly.
"And...?" Elincia wondered to herself, then suddenly recalling, "Wasn't that incident also that happened here?"
As she said this, she heard screams coming from inside Princess Alora's tent.
"The naked player-killer?" Elincia exclaimed in disbelief, her eyes widening in alarm. Summoning the electrical powers she possessed, she sprinted towards the tent.
And exactly as she feared, there was a man standing in front of her, wearing nothing but his underwear. It was clear that he had come to sneak a peek at Princess Alora while she was taking a bath.
"Princess!" Elincia shouted, her rage bubbling up within her. She refused to let anyone disrespect Princess Alora.
Reaching into her inventory, she pulled out a powerful item, a token that would allow her to cast a potent spell instantly. She had heard that not even Princess Alora's knight's sword could kill the man—she was determined to do whatever it took to end him in one fell swoop.
With a swift gesture of her finger, she snapped the coin-shaped token on her finger and muttered a spell name. Instantly, her body was surrounded by a vibrant burst of purple electricity, making her hair ripple with static as if it were alive.
[Celestial Lightning Bolt Lv. 15]
[Summons a lightning bolt from the heavens that strikes the target with godly power.]
"Elincia, stop it! He's under my protection!" Alora yelled desperately.
But it was too late. Elincia had already unleashed her most powerful spell.
Broken shuddered with dread, realizing that in mere seconds, he would be subjected to an immense magical onslaught. "What the hell? Are you crazy?!" he exclaimed, knowing full well that he would not be able to survive a magic attack of such a high level and tier.
The stillness of the night sky was suddenly rent apart outside the tent as a tumultuous explosion of lightning streaked down from the heavens. As if answering a higher power's decree, the lightning struck the tent in the clearing with devastating effect.
A deafening blast shook the ground, instantly obliterating the tent. Shards of soil were sent flying by the force of the explosion, creating a fissure in the earth that quickly sealed back up. The knights who had been stationed outside the tent sprinted to the scene, forming a circle around the epicenter of the assault.
What remained after that was the figure of Princess Alora, standing tall with an aura shield surrounding her and her two nearby servants. Elincia stood there with a baffled expression while Broken had vanished from before them all.
"Elincia!" Alora's expression was one of annoyance, and she took a deep breath before continuing.
"Princess, he was a player killer who was perverted, and he targeted young women for harassment."
"No," Alora answered firmly, "he is my friend. But, yes, it appears that he died from your attack."
Elincia gasped in shock, "What? A friend?" She swallowed hard, struggling to comprehend the situation before her. She had just moments before seen a man standing naked before Princess Alora, and even her servant had screamed in alarm.
But then, Princess Alora was claiming that man was her friend? Did this mean that Princess Alora was actually dating a player? Intrigued, Elincia had to find out which player had enough strength to have caught the princess' attention and win her heart. She was certain that it had to be a high-ranking player. But why had he been able to die in one of her attacks? But no, of course, he will. After all, it was her ultimate attack with incredibly powerful magic damage.
"I think I made a terrible mistake," she said sadly.
"Your Highness," Elincia said hastily. "A player will revive when he dies, so I will find him and apologize for what I have done," she continued, her voice filled with urgency.
"Yes, I believe I need your help, given that you better understand your fellow players. Please locate him, and I'd like to meet him. Let me know immediately if you make any progress," the princess replied.
Elincia took a deep breath, feeling the weight of her mistake. "Killing the boyfriend of a princess is, of course, a grave sin. I might have just ruined my chance of participating in this great event," she thought to herself.

Leon cursed loudly as he was forced to die immediately after logging into the game. He had to log out and wait for the penalty time to pass before he could continue playing.
Lily hadn't even left Leon's room yet when she asked, "Leon? What's going on?"
"A crazy girl cast a high-tier magic spell to kill me!" he said with a look of annoyance.
"Crazy girl?" she pondered, "is that the goddess or the princess?"
"Let's call this one the crazy mage girl," he replied.
"Woah…. So you've met another girl, huh? Is she hot? Is she beautiful? Come on, Leon, tell me."
"She's a complete idiot!" Leon fumed, frustrated that his anticipation for a fun game had been met with numerous roadblocks.
If a player dies in-game, they must wait six hours before being able to log back in. If they die a second time that same day, the wait is increased to twelve hours. Consequently, Leon's plan to stay up late playing games was foiled, and he opted to retire early, giving himself enough time to rest so he could greet the morning the following day.
If a player dies, they will be resurrected at the Temple of Resurrection, which can be found in each city. As Leon had activated his resurrection point in a town near the coast, it was known as Deadbay. After logging back in, he woke up at the temple in question.

Broken opened his eyes to find himself resurrected back in the temple he had visited long ago when he had first played Immortal Legacy. He noticed several other players there who, judging from their appearance, had just begun playing the game.
"It's the infamous player killer!" one of them yelled in alarm.
"We need to make a run for it. He's here to reduce us all back to level 1!" someone else cried out.
Immediately, the temple was filled with the sound of players frantically running away, desperate to escape.
Broken couldn't believe it. "What the hell? How did my bad reputation spread so quickly?" he thought to himself.
Broken turned to one side and spotted a player huddled in a corner, looking scared. "Please don't kill me," the player pleaded, "I'm just a newbie. Please spare me."
The player was dressed in an elegant gray suit consisting of gray trousers and a long white coat embellished with golden embellishments. From his outfit, one could conclude that he must be of the Priest class.
"Take off your clothes," Broken commanded.
"Huh?" the priest exclaimed, shocked. He quickly removed the clothes he was wearing.
Broken grabbed the garments and put them on. "Ah, a beginner's outfit for a priest. Not bad," he said approvingly.
Broken took out ten silver coins and handed them to the player. "You can use this money to buy yourself some new clothes," he said, then stepped outside the temple.
From a distance, he saw several city guards running toward him.
"Mr. Priest," one of them asked, "we heard there's a player killer running around here, completely naked. Did you happen to see him?"
"May the gods of sins always protect all of you. I'm sure I didn't see what you were asking here. May God bless you." Broken said quickly as he walked away from the guard."
Someone sprinted out of the temple, completely naked, screaming, "Chase him! He's the one who killed the player!" He pointed frantically towards Broken and continued shouting.
The guards, however, were distracted by the sight of the naked player before them.
"That's the player killer! Beat him!" They immediately started to pursue the priest player and proceeded to beat him.
"That's not me!" the priest cried out pleadingly, his voice echoing in the distance. He then implored, "Help me! I'm innocent."
