The strength of a (Level-100) could be measured by the highest level of creature that they can defeat.

It is a simple logic of <NO> that one’s physical body reconstructs after the first awakening and they gain a better control over their virtual body.

This upgrade which takes the Metabody which one creates at the starting of the game takes the whole experience that one has in the game to the other level, making them more connected with that world, and granting them access to the abilities that they did not know they could use.

The highest level of creature that they could defeat, at this point, becomes the standard of their strength. And, since we aren’t talking about simple monsters but also all kinds of creatures present in the game, there are various ways one could access their own unique speciality while defeating these creatures.

-Clank! Clank! Clank!

There are set creatures that are used to measure one’s strength, there are set creatures that are used to measure one’s other stats, and there are some creatures that simply measure one’s intelligence as well.

These special creatures are special beings in the world of NO and having these creatures makes one owner of a priceless jewel.

-Oooooooooooooong!

In Eon’s case, he had walked the path of a tamer at first, then he walked the path of magic, and when he learned that he had extreme compatibility with Bow in the game, he also started learning the bow on the side.

However, he did not use it in any battle particularly until now.

He had learned a higher level of magic and understood the core of magic that existed in that world using the ancient scripts that Alex had left to him.

He was now able to cast natural magic as well as his unique magic in a way that made it seem as flawless as moving through a straight space.

-Ooooooooooong!

On the other hand, even though Olive had crossed the level of a basic ranker by now, she was still nowhere near the level of even the likes of Elio who had just started playing the game when it came to physical abilities.

She was a chef and she was a lifestyle player instead of a battle manic like the rest of them.

Like Elio, there was something else that she liked more than killing the creatures around them.

Killing monsters and getting EXP was one thing with the help of her dad and brother was one thing since she didn’t have to do much there, if she was asked to kill even a (Level-20) creature at this point, she would not be able to do it.

She had only landed the final blow on all the creatures that she had killed until now so to kill something by herself was not something she would like… but that did not mean she could not do it.

She had killed and she would kill again if she had to. Unlike Elio, she didn’t really have any problem killing these creatures.

They were simply creatures in her eyes until a while ago anyway. She wouldn’t have hesitated to kill a bunch of them if she had no other choice.

However, that was before she was granted the role of the judge by the world and was forcefully granted the knowledge required to be a Judge.

-Boooooooooom!

Now, she knew about the world. She knew about the creatures, the places around the world, the people, the realness of those people, the realness of that world and every single thing that existed in that world.

She now knew a lot of things, and thanks to that knowledge, even if she wanted to, she could not kill something unless it was meant to be killed and she could not let something die if it wasn’t meant to be.

Until now, players have had immortal bodies that would return to life after suffering a few penalties, but now that the two of their worlds were colliding, that was going to change.

As she and only she knew, the entire world was going to see things that they had only thought of as Fictional until now.

They were going to experience things, much like the status window, that they had only thought of as something that was an Element of the games.

Soon, the world was going to change, and these people… these people sparring before her, were going to be at the center of that change.

“That’s it! Go go go! Go baby!”

“My Alex is going to win this one as well~!”

“No! My Blaze will win! Hmph!”

They were inside the special space of Blaze once again and though she doesn’t do it often, V was inside this virtual world as well.

Alex and Blaze were fighting- sparring- at a distance while Elio was helping Olive create something that they could not make as well in reality as in this special space connected to <NO> as well as a few other Metaworld programs.

Alex was using her sword, and Blaze was using his own sword.

However, there was a distinct difference between both these swords.

While Alex’s sword was purely white and radiated a unique golden glow that indicated the presence of something holy, the sword that Blaze was holding radiated a strange kind of holiness.

Alex’s sword was long and the grip of this sword was covered in a unique black leather.

The blade itself was made from an unknown metal while the hilt of the blade was covered in red and white threads.

The sheath of the sword in her hand was made from the same material as the sword’s blade so, even though both of these objects might seem heavy for their looks, they were as light as a twig.

This was a special sword that only she could wield, and that too after sacrificing a temporary key, a famed sword that was created by the hands of at least a grandmaster.

That was the minimum requirement to temporarily access her powers, but that was when they were in the real world.

In this special world that created a near perfect replica of their selves from the game as well as of their items, she was able to access the powers that this sword granted to her on a much freer level.

Though she did not have all the powers that she used to have, she had enough power to go against someone like Blaze who was wielding a holy sword. A weapon that had a consciousness of its own.

A relic of the past and an object that was wielded by a being that was talked about in the epics of many parts of east.

This sword, this holy blade, though being of eastern origin, resembled the holy swords mentioned in the western epics.

It was a straight sword, unlike the curved sword of Alex. It was also double edged unlike the white sword that Alex wielded.

The sword was golden and was made with the most precious metal known to men: Epocheum. An ancient gold that possessed a unique silver glow to it so distinct that one can recognize this unique metal just by the looks of it.

It was a unique metal, and the sword that was made from it was nothing less than special either.

-Swiiiiiiiiiish!

-Swish! Swish! Swish!

If Rin and Sera were able to use holy powers naturally, Blaze could use the holy power as a resource. Through his blade, he could convert any kind of energy, even the one present in the atmosphere around him, into holy blaze, the golden Aura that was burning on the sword right now, and use it in any battles indefinitely.

As long as he had the energy to sustain his own self and the stamina to keep going, he could use this special sword and the power that it granted him for days, perhaps weeks and months…

He was one of the few that had actually fought in one of the longest battles of the world of <NO> in the second Main scenario that occurred a few years ago as well, and he was also one of the few that were left standing after going against a demon king.

It was no simple fight, many of them lost their lives merely by being under fear debuff that the demon passively cast on them. However, thanks to this holy sword, Blaze was able to fend off all those abnormalities as well.

This one sword was one of the few player owned objects that were famous even among the natives. There were few that might not have heard the name of this sword and the wielder of this sword, a living legend, as well as one of the coolest guys Alex knew.

“I’m going to win this one as well, little one.”

Alex was obviously younger than him, but the relationship that these two had was older than the rest of their house members knew.

They knew each other ever since she was a pro in some other game and he used to be a simple player at that time.

She had taught him a few things and the two had become friends at that time, however, they met again when they started playing <NO> and then on, though they did not know each other IRL they played together on multiple occasions.

It wasn’t until two years ago that Elio actually introduced them and they somehow found out that the two of them, in fact, were the same individuals that they had known from their past.

They then became friends and even though they later found out that Blaze was older, he never stopped treating her the elder one among them.

And, Alex being Alex, also found treating him as she always had a bit more comfortable.

It was their relationship dynamics. They were acquaintances that ended up becoming family members.

But still, till this day, there has not been one instance where Blaze had won against this person in a fair fight of pure skills.

If they were talking about sword using, there was perhaps no one better than Alex in not just the player rankings, but with the exception of the TWO of them, there was no one that could come close to her when they were talking about pure skills.

He admired her for many reasons, but her skill stood at the top of those reasons.

She was, simply, amazing…
