Versatile: Alternate World

It was a shock for King Arthur when the two swords he was tightly holding before disappeared before his eyes. It was so sudden for him that he stood there shocked while staring at the palms of his hands, which are now empty as the two swords are now being "chewed" by the Shadow Dragon that directly devoured them after giving the command. After all, I already tested that even though I don't own the weapon or armor as long as it is a weapon or armor, they are viable and applicable to be devoured by the Versatile Weapon. That alone is enough for me to easily disarm King Arthur, reducing his danger levels by a huge amount.

He is still dangerous but now limited to hand-to-hand combat which he is still pretty much a lethal one but not to the point similar in danger when he wields the Arondnight and Secace.

The moment the Shadow Dragon gulped the two swords down to its throat, a system panel appeared before me.

[The weapon (Arondnight) has been fully absorbed. You can choose which skill from the weapon will be added to the Versatile Weapon by opening the weapon details. (Arondnight) can now be applied as the Longsword skin. Stats are automatically added.

STR: 350

END: 200

INT: 200]

[The weapon (Secace) has been fully absorbed. You can choose which skill from the weapon will be added to the Versatile Weapon by opening the weapon details. (Secace) can now be applied as the Magic Sword skin. Stats are automatically added.

STR: 500

DEX: 320

INT: 490]

The stats gained from just devouring those two heroic tier weapons have ramped up the stats of the Versatile Weapon which means my stats also ramped up too. I might not be able to pull out the two swords but I can sure use them as weapons forms of my weapons.

I applied the Secace as the Magic Sword skin allowing my Versatile Weapon to turn into the looks of the Secace now. This caused King Arthur to grit in anger.

"You thief! Give it back!"

King Arthur immediately grab the Versatile Weapon out of my hands and stole it from me. But since it cannot be used by anyone other than me, wielding it is not even possible for him. The moment King Arthur grab the handle of the Versatile Weapon, it fell to the ground which caused confusion for him. The weapon just passed through his hands like he was a ghost. So that is how it prevents anyone from stealing and using the Versatile Weapon.

The moment it fell to the ground, the Versatile Weapon flew right back into my hands, retrieving it back from King Arthur.

"Just because you own Secace before, doesn't mean you can steal it from me after obtaining it."

King Arthur was angry enough that he did not even bother to pull out another weapon and started attacking me by punching me. Of course, I managed to dodge them, and with my increased stats, it's much easier to respond to his attacks now compared to before.

Every punch he makes, the air that he punches seems to create a hole in the air, showing how strong his punches are and what will happen if I get hit by them.

"Why are you just punching? Shouldn't you at least grab your Excalibur or the Rhongomyniad? Aren't those two weapons the strongest of all your weapons?"

However, it seems like King Arthur has been driven to madness after he lost the Secace and Arondnight from his hands. I don't know what is happening to him but I think I will have to kill him as soon as possible and go to the aid of Almira.

I ready the Carnwennan in my arsenal. The Versatile Weapon might be a strong weapon but that is not a weapon that is capable of dealing with an immortal and I am assuming that King Arthur is one of the immortals due to how his regenerative powers are similar to immortals of the second form.

King Arthur might be a villain right now but he is just more reliant on being an immortal. Without that immortality, he is just a superhuman NPC. He continues punching and I also continue to dodge it. It is a good way to practice dodging especially with him being quite fast at punching.

It's quite sad that the previous legend has become like this.

While he continues to punch, I decided to use the Carnwennan now. The longer this battle would be, the longer the fight scene would be and why would I need to waste my time with King Arthur? He might be a strong guy but he was never the type of NPC that would last for a while. In fact, he was only famous for his weapons, not himself.

And if we count the past timeline, since Almira came back alive, that also means that King Arthur was successfully killed without even my intervention.

"Time to go to sleep King Arthur. Your time passed by a few years ago. You should join the other knights on their graves. Just leave your legend and rest in peace.

STAB!

King Arthur stopped attacking and looked at the wound he got on his heart. He grits his teeth as the weapon was lodged deeply into his heart.

[1 stack added. King Arthur's Immortality status has been nullified! Damage will now be applied normally by any weapons directed to him!]

I grinned when the system notified me of the changes in King Arthur's body. The annoying status of him being an immortal is now gone and now I can focus on attacking him. But then, I saw Almira slowly stand back up. King Arthur didn't notice it yet as he tried to stop the bleeding on his chest that was caused by the Carnwennan. Since his status as an immortal has been nullified, naturally, all of his skills that would allow him to heal faster and has now been eliminated.

I could just have killed King Arthur here, but since this was not supposed to be my job to finish him off, I decided to hand over the task to Almira who stood up, still bloody, but ready to deal with another attack.

Silently but slowly, she approached, carrying the Clarent. Before King Arthur could respond behind him, Almira came in close and stabs him with the Clarent. Now, the legend of the Clarent killing King Arthur, has now been solidified in this world. The quest is finally over.
