Players' NPC boss

It is not uncommon for a lion tribe to have two male lions.

The lion king and his loyal deputy who guards the throne.

"Can I go in and take a look?"

Blaze asked the goblin warrior behind him. Before entering the body of a tribal god, he still had to ask the believers' opinions.

The goblin warrior looked at the curious goblin residents around him, and after finding that there was no disturbance, he nodded respectfully to Blaze.

Blaze took a deep breath and slowly walked into the cave, which was the eye socket of the lion skeleton.

It is unknown how long this skeleton has existed. Judging from the dust piled on it to form a mountain range, it must be at least thousands of years.

This skeleton cave is extremely dark, and there are fireflies emitting golden light to guide the way.

He came to a stone, which was a fragment of a star, an extremely huge fragment.

"If you use this fragment, how much can you improve the proficiency of [Leo]?"

"If it goes as expected, you will be stuck at A, and you can't move forward." An old voice came from the stone.

A translucent old lion walked out of the stone, and Blaze immediately took a step back and took out his weapon.

"Don't be so vigilant, look..." The lion grinned, "I'm old, my teeth are gone, and my claws can't grow out. There is no threat."

Blaze narrowed his eyes, and he saw clearly that the lion's mouth and claws were all bitten.

The teeth and claws did not fall off due to aging, but were taken away by something else.

But what Blaze felt most strange was that this lion was too old. The chicken has existed for who knows how many years, and it still looks like a young child, but this lion is already old and frail.

The only explanation is that just like the chicken continues to grow after having a carrier, the soul of this lion also has a carrier and continues to age over the years.

Blaze looked at the huge star fragment again, and the answer was ready to come out.

[The fallen old king - the nameless lion]

"Are you also Nemea?"

"Also? It seems that you have seen another one." The old lion slowly lay down, and it seemed that it had aged and could not stand for long.

"The guard of the throne, the betrayer who took away my teeth and claws and my name."

The matter is simple. The loyal guard found that the place occupied by his king was too great, so great that only greed was left in his heart.

But the power of the king was too strong, so greed became fear, and fear was far more terrible than greed.

Fear made the guard pursue power at all costs, fear made the guard surrender to the giant from the abyss, and fear made the guard believe that when the king fought for his soul and life, it was a sign that he would ascend to the throne.

Why take away the king's teeth and claws? Because only the king's teeth and claws can cut through the king's noble fur.

"It has put on your fur, replaced your existence, and surrendered to the Titan."

"Submission? That's just finding the next object of fear, the next existence to be replaced." The old lion lowered his eyes.

"I heard the Titan fall, and I also heard the blood filled with the power of the evil god falling from the sky. Now it is eager to suck the blood and turn itself into a new giant."

"It has become a Nemean giant, but because I woke it up, it began to accelerate its gestation, and its scale may not catch up with the Titan." Blazer paused, considering that the old king and the new king usually have a deep hatred, he told the plan.

"If it were me, I would probably come out the moment you attacked my lionesses." The old lion laughed softly.

"But it won't. Even if you kill all its lionesses and offspring, it won't come out. When it finds that you are no threat to its status, it will not hesitate to drill deeper underground until it becomes a new Titan and breaks out of the ground."

"Status?" Blaze looked at the carrier of the old lion, the huge star fragment.

"You said that the proficiency of [Leo] cannot exceed A. Is it because the proficiency above A is challenging the king's status?"

The old lion's eyes widened a little.

"You are very smart. Using star fragments to improve the proficiency of [Leo] is to steal the power of the lion, which is the same as what it did in the past. Every time you improve the proficiency, it will be awakened once, until it breaks out of the ground in anger because it can't sleep because of panic."

"Then can you give me that stone? I don't think you are clinging to this stone just to survive." Blaze pointed to the huge star fragment.

Blaze felt that his tone was a bit aggressive, probably because he couldn't understand the defeated old king. The feeling of decadence, abandonment, and indifference is irritating.

Why did the great soul who once fought for his soul and life become what it is now?

"I did cling to this last wreckage in order to lure out the betrayer. With my cooperation, you will reach a level second only to Z." The old lion slowly stood up, like an old man tortured by life and about to collapse.

"But I won't cooperate with you. The conditions for victory are not yet met."

"Because I haven't conquered Aries yet, right."

The old lion turned his head in great surprise, but this small wave soon calmed down in the huge and deep dejection.

"Young man, you should listen to this advice and give up the ridiculous plan. Without Aries, you can't win."

"Only Aries' horn attack can pierce lions of the same level. With Aries, you can barely compete on the same stage."

"But the sea where Aries is will only appear when the world is turned upside down."

The old lion drooped, no longer paying attention to Blaze, and slowly walked towards his last wreckage.

"Is there any other way?"

The boy's stubborn voice came from behind, and the old lion was even more tired.

The young lion seemed to not understand its subtext.

"Don't worry about it, let it break out of the ground and become a bigger giant. The world will tumble and spin under its feet, and then the ocean where Aries is will appear, and the conditions for victory will be met."

"Before that..."

The old lion didn't continue to speak, even if it fell to this point, it would not say such words.

But Blaze spoke the terrible future for the old lion.

"Take the new giant as an irresistible disaster and endure it, tremble at its feet, and linger under its crotch. Until who knows how long it will take to gather all the conditions for victory, then challenge it again."

"Isn't this destiny of winning good!" The old lion's voice was a little angry, and Blaze's youthful vigor kept tearing at its remaining dignity.

"No, destiny is that we can win even without Aries."

"The giant has fallen, and we will not let the second giant stand up and block our sky again."

The young lion roared at the old king who had no fighting spirit and was unwilling to take back his dignity with his own hands.

"That's why I'm asking you here, is there any other way."

"I don't know! Except for the horns of Aries and the claws of the lion, there is no way to break the lion's fur from the outside." The old lion roared at Blaze angrily, but the majesty was gone and it couldn't get any fear from Blaze.

Blaze calmed down, touched his chin and pondered the words of the old lion.

"If it's not good outside, then it's inside..."

"Do you think it doesn't know this weakness? It must have kept its mouth shut from the beginning to the end." The old lion laughed sarcastically, as if he had given up on himself.

"If you let its health drop to a dangerous level, it might eat you, a young lion, to restore its health, and you'll have a chance to break it from the inside."

"Of course, the premise is that you can kill it from the inside before it turns you into a tonic and absorbs you."
