On top of that, there was a queen who continually cast targeted spells at the players and would occasionally blink away to a different location when faced with a melee attack.

Dai’s stress visibly skyrocketed.

As the pressure mounted, his gameplay began to deteriorate.

Two consecutive deaths had the chat erupting with laughter.

"Sweating yet, little bro?"

"Where’s the Luminous Stone?"

"Here’s a joke, ’Performing BOSS’"

"As the mighty Queen of Calia who has led the Magic School for so many years, what’s wrong with asking a big brother to sub in for me? /Dog Head"

"Gerrick: Kid, you feeling my pain now? It’s not that I’m bad at this, you double-teamed me, and I didn’t even know who to hit first!"

"Alright, alright, Gerrick, stop looking for excuses, meow. If you’re bad, just practice more and try to reach Shrimp Head’s fame and fortune early, even your dad Gedwin buried underground would crack a smile!"

"Come on, Dai, you can do it!"

After dying two more times, Dai slowly figured out some tactics.

This BOSS, once its health drops to half, frequently summons a giant dragon.

Even if it doesn’t summon the dragon, it will bring in distractions like mountain demons or the triple wolves, which are notoriously disruptive.

But at this point, you must not get distracted by these minions.

Go straight for her real body.

If she blinks, keep chasing.

Chase her until you can strike her.

Just keep an eye out for the minions’ attack in the meantime.

These minions’ combat power isn’t as formidable as one might expect.

The Luminous Stone Dragon minion doesn’t deal as much damage as the true dragons later in the Magic School.

It seems the knockoff can’t beat the original.

Under Dai’s repeated opportunistic strikes,

finally, a beautiful double roll dodge consecutively avoided the queen’s magical skills + dragon’s dive.

He rose up, leaped high, and delivered a downward slash!

Directly depleting the queen’s last sliver of health!

However, this BOSS was different from Gerrick.

After her defeat, Renara didn’t die; she stayed rooted to the spot as if in a trance, whispering incomprehensible lunacy to herself while still clutching the unsettling golden embryo in her arms.

By interacting with her, you could reset your skills.

And after acquiring the item "Full Moon Queen’s Recollection," you could reach a portal that resembled a mini electric fan via the newly opened shortcut.

Through the portal, you could reach an area known as "Bonding Church."

Besides the central statue of the goddess for players to confess,

there lay a massive turtle on one side.

But this turtle was a friendly one, harboring no aggression and speaking gently to players.

The turtle previously served as a wedding officiant in the Liyenia region, adept and well-informed.

With the turtle’s account, the main storyline of Liyenia unfolded before the players.

It turns out,

during the time when the first King of Elden, Gefrei, was still fighting battles for the Golden Tree and waging wars to the north and south,

there emerged another talented leader in King City named Radagan.

Radagan led his troops south from King City to accomplish three things.

To wage war on Calia.

To wage war on Calia.

To marry the Queen of Calia.

Yes.

Radagan fought the Calia royal family twice.

The first time ended in a draw, the second time in a decisive victory, but Radagan chose not to annihilate them; instead, he fell in love with the reigning queen, Renara.

With their marriage, the Calia royal family immediately acknowledged the validity and authority of the Golden Rule at the border.

This couple’s wedding was presided over by turtle the officiant.

At first, their married life was incredibly sweet.

Renara gave birth to three sons for Radagan.

Ratan, Lani, and Lakade.

All from the Radagan family.

However, the good times didn’t last long.

During the battles, the first king Gefrei was mysteriously exiled, lost the Blessing, and thus his eligibility to be king.

Radagan, who had pledged eternal love to the queen, betrayed her on the spot, abandoning his family and returning to King City overnight.

Under the Golden Rule era, there was a stipulation.

To become the King of Elden, one must marry the god-man appointed by the Golden Rule.

Only then could one receive the Blessing from the Golden Tree and wield the Strength of the Rune of the king.

And Marika was the sole mouthpiece of the Golden Rule at the time.

So Radagan married Marika.

And became the second husband.

And also the second King of Elden.

When the entire Calia royal family learned of this, they were all in an uproar, with endless speculation.

The most convincing explanation among them,

everyone believed Radagan was blinded by power, fixated only on seizing control without regard for anything else.

No matter what the outside world said, Queen Renara was deeply in love,

and it was this love that devastated her, leaving her unable to recover from the blow for a long time, and she became somewhat mentally unstable.

This is also why during the entire BOSS battle phase, players never really saw Renara fight.

In the first phase, she slept within the Full Moon Cover, and her attacks were carried out only by her magic puppet creations.

In the second phase, it seemed players were directly confronting Renara, but it was actually her daughter Lani, worried about her mother’s defeat, remotely controlling her mother’s battles.

After losing her sanity, Renara babbled all day, naturally incapable of leading the entire Magic School.

Thus, she was directly usurped by a group of old scholars within the school studying the stars and magic and was sealed inside the grand library.

As a result, the Calia royal family completely severed ties with King City.

But severing ties is easy; at least one needs capital to confront King City.

The Calia Knights had suffered severe losses in wars of the earlier years.

And thus, the Azalea Knights, a bunch of second-rate mercenaries, had their chance to take the stage.
