Chapter 98: - Deity Bane Quest
"Kill deities? Not just one, but several of them?" Broken reiterated King Elandorr's words, his face painted with confusion and disbelief.
King Elandorr, appearing both drowsy and weary, remained silent, not providing any immediate answer.
"Wait a minute. The fact that you were once the Champion of Sloth is already surprising enough. Meeting you here in the Trial Domain by sheer chance was another shock. But then you ask me to kill deities? Which deities? And why me? What makes you believe I can accomplish such a task? Even in your death, why place this burden upon another? Is your demise connected to this mission... Your Majesty?" Broken bombarded him with a flurry of anxious questions.
With a heavy sigh, Elandorr listened to the desperate queries. "Take your time," he said gently. He paused, gathering his thoughts before speaking again. "I know this is overwhelming and confusing for you. Allow me to explain everything to you."
"Please, tell me more..." Broken urged, momentarily forgetting the royal status of his conversation partner.
Elandorr hesitated, weighing his words carefully. He sighed deeply once more before admitting, "I can't seem to simplify it for you, despite my best attempts."
Broken's eyes narrowed, and his jaw tightened as he focused intently on the figure before him. "Let's approach it this way," Elandorr suggested. "I can give you a series of quests. Each task will come with significant rewards. Complete each quest in turn, and by the end, you'll have gained enough knowledge and resources to make an informed decision about your next steps. I also hope that completing these quests will strengthen you. It's genuinely troubling to see a Champion of Sloth as weak as you."
"And if I refuse to take on these quests?" Broken asked hesitantly. "What consequences might I face?"
"Refusing my offer won't lead to anything pleasant. We are both blessed by Goddess Akidia, after all. Let's leave it at that. So please, do not reject my offer."
What Broken needed now was a moment to reflect. After all, being handed such a monumental quest while still at a low level and ill-prepared suggested facing incredibly powerful entities in Yunatea soon. If this burdened his progress, it could certainly complicate his journey.
Yet, the glittering allure of the rewards promised by King Elandorr flickered in his thoughts. Such opportunities were the stuff of legends among players in Immortal Legacy, potentially rich with untold value. His pulse quickened in line with the surging excitement and anticipation of what possibilities lay ahead.
"So, I have the freedom to choose the outcome of these chain quests?" Broken asked, his voice cutting through the stillness.
Elandorr released a heavy breath. "Yes, the final decision rests with you. Whether you follow the path I've laid out or forge your own-it's your choice. At the very least, this burden of mine won't languish in this Trial Domain forever. I'm too weary to continue. Yes, I may already be dead, but even this fragment of my soul is weary."

"But then," Broken continued with a solemn air, "this isn't a simple task. I need to understand why it's crucial to complete this quest. I also need every bit of knowledge and strength required to see it through."
He posed his question again. "Will you provide assistance to complete this quest? Maybe you have some treasures or artifacts stashed away? Or perhaps some extra power you can lend me? Anything that might help."
Elandorr clicked his tongue in disapproval and took a deep breath. "Thus far, I can't tell if you are the Champion of Sloth or the Champion of Greed," he said, eyes narrowing as he
scrutinized Broken's face.
Broken couldn't help but grin at Elandorr's words. "Yeah, well, this is a huge task," he admitted. "Just look at the title. It's no joke-The Deity Bane Quest. Surely, you wouldn't send me into the fray without proper equipment, right?"
"Agreed," Elandorr muttered. "Don't worry, I have resources and support that you can
utilize."
A hopeful glimmer appeared in Broken's eyes at the mention of 'resources'.
"For that reason," Elandorr continued, "I have another quest for you."
"Another quest?" Broken echoed in surprise. "Not 'resources'?"
Elandorr chuckled at the question, a sly smile curling his lips. "Oh no," he replied. "This quest will be much more... more entertaining than anything you've encountered before."
"Entertaining?"
