Meanwhile…
In the informal residential area.
This place was the residence for all the Players who came to Hikaru's territory. Naturally, these players only knew that the lord of this place was the Void Lord, not Hikaru.
In an inn room, two young people were sitting. If Hikaru was here, he would definitely recognize these people as Lako and Duraxi.
If he saw this scene, Hikaru would surely feel surprised and confused. Why was Duraxi able to sit and talk peacefully with Lako?
Who is Lako?
Lako was the Hunter captain in Himari's Guild. Previously, when Hikaru arrived in Himari's domain, Tsuraguki defeated Lako but then he fled.
In fact, Hikaru let Lako go, if he wanted, Tsuraguki could have easily killed Lako.
Hikaru did so of course for his own purposes.
At this time, Duraxi and Lako talked to each other very closely, as if the two were close friends.
Duraxi sighed: "Haizzz, so you were also defeated by that bastard Hikaru."
Lako didn't get angry when he heard that, on the contrary he smiled: "Hahaha… it's okay. He won't think that I'm alive and stronger than before."
Duraxi nodded at that: "Um… But… when I met him, he called himself the Void Lord, could this territory be his?"
Lako laughed scornfully at that: "Hahaha… Duraxi, you think too much. If Hikaru had the power you just described, he would have defeated all the other players long ago."
Duraxi frowned upon hearing that, he felt that Lako's words were very reasonable. If he possessed the same power as Hikaru, he would have destroyed all the other players in a short time.
But this time it was different, Hikaru seemed to be neither active nor attacking the other players.
What was he doing?
"Perhaps it was not Hikaru..."
A voice suddenly rang out, then, the door opened, and a High Orc with green skin about 3 meters tall entered.
Duraxi saw the High Orc and frowned, he then took a black sword from the pocket of space and held it in his hand.
"Don't worry, he's Raito, he's also a Player."
Hearing Lako's words, Duraxi breathed a sigh of relief. Although he prided himself on being the protagonist of this world, his failures made him learn a lot.
And the biggest lesson was not to despise the enemy and to be careful with all enemies, even the weakest.
Thanks to those two lessons, after leaving the Shareny kingdom, he succeeded a lot.
He found a lot of good items.
He disguised himself as a Player, infiltrated the communities of other Players then killed them secretly.
Therefore, his items are also much higher than before, and his speed of leveling up was also very fast.
Duraxi felt remorse. If he had that thought when he first came to this world, he wouldn't have accepted so many failures.
Fortunately, he could now start anew.
Back in the present, Duraxi looked at Raito with a frown and asked, "Can a Player transform into a High Orc-like form?"
"Hahaha… Raito, did you hear anything? I told you your appearance was ugly, but you didn't believe it." Lako laughed and said.
Hearing that, Raito frowned, his eyes filled with murderous intent as he looked at Duraxi: "You… you want to die, right?"
"Alright!" Lako hastily interrupted: "Stop doing nonsense, let's discuss the main issue. After all, everyone is on the same boat, in order to reach the garden of Eden, it is necessary to cooperate with each other."
Raito and Duraxi glanced at each other, then looked at Lako again, then nodded and sat at the table.
Because Raito's physique was too big, he could only sit on the ground.
"So…" At this time, Lako said: "What do you mean it's not Hikaru?"
Raito said with a snort, "Even though Hikaru initially obtained the UR Treasure Chest, that doesn't mean he's strong enough to have the same power as the Void Lord."
"Anyway, the Void Lord is an NPC and not a Player, his strength is immeasurable."
"Impossible!" Duraxi now spoke up: "I saw Hikaru calling himself the Void Lord, I'm not mistaken."
"Huh! I'm not saying you're mistaken, but I think there are two cases." Raito explained.
"Firstly, you must have looked through the message from the system when the Void Lord appeared, he is an NPC from outside the world."
"He has the ability to give quests and acquire resources from the players through the system."
"I don't think a Player would be able to interfere with the system like that. If I had that ability, I could gather all the Players and destroy them all."
"That's why, I think that Hikaru may have been impersonating the Void Lord because no one has seen the Void Lord's true form yet."
"But I don't think this interpretation is correct, there are a lot of holes in this interpretation."
"So, I believe that the second explanation is that Hikaru died, and the Void Lord took over his body and stayed in Hikaru's form."
"This is the reason I feel that is the most likely one."
Lako and Duraxi looked at each other, then at Raito. They frowned in thought, but no matter how they thought about it, this was probably the most logical explanation.
If what Raito said was true, then the peerless power on par with level 99 in this state that Duraxi saw was probably the Void Lord, not Hikaru.
In fact, even though Raito turned into a High Orc, it didn't affect his mind. Conversely, a healthy body could help clear his mind.
However, except when the Orc instincts rose within him. At that time, he would act like an animal, and he would kill, eat people and rape other girls to death.
But at times like these, he was completely normal.
Duraxi also felt a little surprised. He thought that the Orcs were considered the stupidest race, but what Raito showed overturned that notion.
Duraxi silently lamented his luck, thanks to the previous two lessons he had experienced he no longer despised anyone.
If not, the cost will be huge.
Lako nodded and said, "So... if the Void Lord's power is so great, should our plan be canceled?"
Raito grinned: "Hahaha… no.. that's more interesting. Although the Void Lord is strong, he will certainly have many limitations."
"If there were no restrictions on him, the world would have been devoured by him long ago."
"But if you look outside… he is only focused on building this territory, with no intention of conquering other kingdoms or territories."
"That means that he's also just an NPC, programmed by the system just to build a territory."
Lako frowned and said, "Then what's the difference? The more his territory grows, the harder it will be for us to take over this place."
Raito shook his head and said, "No, I let the other players investigate the surroundings, and some of them even snuck into the inner areas."
"What I noticed is that this place has almost no army, just a few feeble Lizards guarding it."
"Perhaps… This is the time when the Void Lord is in a severe shortage of manpower. If we let him develop for a while, he will surely have a powerful army."
"But if we act early, the odds of winning will be very high."
Duraxi heard that and interrupted: "Wait! You mean… you want to defeat the Void Lord and take this territory?"
Raito and Lako laughed at that.
"Hahaha… Duraxi, do you realize it now? Do you think I brought you here to rest?" Lako laughed, his voice full of sarcasm.
"Huh! If you're afraid, there's only one end to it and that's to be my dinner."
When Duraxi heard that he was not afraid, he just smiled contemptuously: "Fear? I'm afraid you haven't seen the Void Lord's true power to speak so confidently."
"He razed a high-ranking kingdom, and killed someone who was level 99. That person was even about to step up to a higher rank, that is the King class."
"You guys are only level 50 players, do you think you can kill him?"
Raito frowned and said, "So... what rank is your domain?"
Duraxi smiled and said, "My domain? Hahaha, I'm a free player."
Raito scorned: "Huh! Just a low-level free agent with no potential for leveling up, what qualifications do you have to sit here?"
"Lako, it seems your eyesight is getting worse and worse. You brought me a bag of trash but told me it was a piece of gold?"
Lako shook her head and said, "No! You may not know, but Duraxi has reached level 50, he has a way to level up without owning a territory."
"What?!" Raito was a bit surprised, he asked: "No way! All players level up based on their territory, there are no exceptions."
Duraxi smiled scornfully: "Why is there no exception? I am the exception. Everyone's skills and talents are different, I'm a talent owner that can help me level up without having to own a territory."
"Raito, I feel like you're the frog in the well, hahaha..."
Raito furrowed his brows in anger, but in his heart he secretly wondered if Duraxi was telling the truth.
But in reality, Duraxi had no reason to lie to him. Besides, Lako trusted Duraxi so much that he was also reassured.
"So… will you join us?"
"Join? Of course we will join." Duraxi replied: "But… I want to make sure the probability of us winning is as high as possible."
"I know very well how great the Void Lord's power is, if it's only our strength that we want to use then defeat is inevitable."
Raito and Lako nodded at that.
Raito smiled and said, "Of course I know that. The void Lord is a system-generated NPC after all, he is naturally very strong. However, I don't believe he has any limitations."
"What we need to do is find his limit, then attack that point."
"However, time is very short, and we cannot search slowly. I think we should attract more and more allies."
At this moment, Duraxi suddenly said: "Wait! What do you want to occupy this place for?"
"I mean.. you all own territories, don't you all have inhabitants of your territory? Why risk taking over an NPC's territory?"
Hearing Duraxi's question, Raito smiled cruelly, as if it were a monster's: "Because… I need more blood."
